FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

[skatiedrew]

Hi all,

blair - everything with me seems to be about the same as with you; boobs big and sore, just like hips (but brused and sore), I'm hungry when I wake up and at lunch, that's not normal for me. Then, when I get home I feel so full. I think I'm going to try smaller portions a couple times a day.

Skatiedrew- oh yes ...both my hips and my stomach are bruised (I'm on lovenox and aspirin) and also managed to get huge bruises on both legs. And your eatting habits sound exactly like mine. I am usually ok skipping breakfast (I know its bad to do that) but here lately when I wake up I feel like I haven't eatten in days. So I've been eatting breakfast and have still been getting so hungry I've eatten lunch at 10:45a the past 2 days. I would highly recommend small meals through the day which helps since I get full so easily. Best of luck to you. What day is your next ultrasound?

[LYD10]

Still no AF! I did give LYD10's suggestion a shot and while it was a lot f fun it was as unproductive as it always has been. Ha ha!

bummer! i am sorry. well at least you had fun!

[BlissfulCS]

She's here! She's here!!!!! Well... at least she's on her way. Very very faint spotting but there is no doubt. I can spot her coming a mile away. Yay!!! Of course the worse possible time for her to come when I need to schedule a u/s within 5 days is on a Friday night. But I'll take it. I'll be shooting up before we know it and I have a feeling this is it!!!

Thanks everyone for all the advice and dancing.

[BlissfulCS]

Okay ladies... I was wrong. That very very little bit of spotting turned into NOTHING so far. I am losing it!!! I was sure that AF was here. Looks like maybe that mid cycle bleeding I had a couple weeks ago was a period after all. I wonder if maybe the follicle that we saw in the ultrasound when I went in for my sonohysterogram was a cyst from the fresh cycle? If that is the case...I am going to have to wait until I get back from school for a late May, June cycle. Can't wait to talk to my RE on Monday.

Bliss- man I was so excited about af finally coming and then when I read your post I was so disappointed. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that she shows up tonight. Either way it sounds like things may end up working out and right after school you end up preggo!! Keep us posted on what the RE says on monday.

AFM- I finally finished my stockpile of hpt so I guess ill go with the results now. I called the office yesterday and asked if I could get another beta just to make me feel a little less anxious/nervous about the wait. They gave into my demands and I had a 3rd beta yesterday afternoon. Even though I didn't get the results until late today it did make me feel better - 15,181!!! The nurse said they would expect around 8000, so since its almost double that I'm thinking things are going good and my babies are growing like they should. Now its another week and a half before I see how many are in there.

[skatiedrew]

blair,

that's awesome; it's for certain you have at least 2 in there. Good luck. I can't wait til my next u/s. It's week after next.

[blairwh58]

Skatiedrew- what day is your ultrasound? Mine is the same week- wed may 4 @ 9:30 EST. Needless to say ill probably start counting down the hours once we get closer. You already saw the heartbeat right? Your little bean will look so much bigger by the next visit.

[skatiedrew]

That's too funny; mine is May 4 at 4:15, hubby will be able to go with me. Yea we did get to see the heartbeat. According to the due date site I'm 6 weeks 3 days. That's so confusing to me because my ET was on 3/26 so I was saying I was 4 weeks today. The IVF due date thing is kind of confusing to me.

[blairwh58]

Skatiedrew- its good DH can go with you. Even though this will be our first ultrasound to see the baby(ies) he won't be able to go that day. My friend who went through 6 IVFs to get her little boy last october is coming with me though. I'm just very anxious to see on the screen...I guess then it would feel more real. I guess once I see the US it will be proof that we made it to the next step. Just hoping it all goes smoothly. Best of luck- I guess we are a week apart so we can go through all this together.

[BlissfulCS]

She is officially and finally here and there is no mistaking it! I am counting today as CD1 which means assuming that the SnS comes back good I can fit it in by the time I go to South Carolina. Happy Easter to us! Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate it!

[WeHaveHope]

Hi ladies,

I am sorry that I have been off of the board for a while. I wrote a very lengthy post with some personals a few minutes ago and lost the entire post. Ah! So frustrating. In any case,

Blair and Skatie, congrats on your pregnancies.

Mamaboo, I hope you are doing better.

Bliss, congrats on seeing AF. You are well on your way. Di you know an approximate date for your FET?

Lyd, when in May is your FET? I am scheduled for May 25th.

To everyone else, I will get to more personals tomorrow. To all of the new members, welcome!

AFM-after much delay with my cycle, I have finally begun Lupron Injections. Gave myself the first one this morning. I am scheduled to start patches on 5-6 and if all goes well FET is scheduled for 5-25.

Sending much love, hugs, and plenty of baby dust to all.

[blairwh58]

WeHaveHope- Welcome back. Congrats on finally starting up the shots again!! Its funny how excited we get about stabbing ourselves with needles.

Bliss- I am so glad AF finally came and you can get things going. And whats even better is that it sounds like things are working out perfectly for your scheduling. Keep us posted on what RE says.

skatiedrew- So it looks like you are about a week further along than I am. What was your estimated due date?

SD/Crissy- I cant remember if you all experiences morning sickness or not. If so what did you find helped combat it? I woke up this morning and could barely stand in the mirror to put on my makeup.

Indigo- Not too much longer until you get to bring that baby home!! And I think the hpt on mothers day may be a very good sign. Not only is it mothers day but its also my birthday!

Cherry- How are things going for you? Any side effects yet?

AFM- Still waiting around for the ultrasound day to come. Only a week and a half left!! I do feel a litte better since I know my numbers are getting so high...but I guess the anticipation is what drives me crazy.

[skatiedrew]

blair,

my estimated due date is 12/13/11.

[blairwh58]

Skatie- per my calculations I think mine is 12.21.11. I guess if there really is more than 1 in there it may be different but we will see.
