April/May Cycle Buddies!

[NancyB]

Blissful -- great increase in your beta!!! That's wonderful news to read.

Just got the call from my nurse. Her message said "ready to schedule your FET for next week. Call me and let me know what day is good for you" So I called. Turns out my doctor is out of town all next week. I'm so bummed. I'm sure the other doctors are great but I really like my doctor. Oh well. Any day is good for us next week so she's going to get it scheduled and call me tomorrow morning with details and the rest of my plan (when to start PIO and drop the Lupron etc...)

She did say it won't be on Monday because it's a holiday. I'm hoping it will be Tuesday. I should have just requested Tuesday. Sometimes I feel like I'm too accomodating and it goes against me.

Blissful ~ Great second beta!!!!

[Wishingandhoping]

Great beta Bliss! Congrats!

My beta is now down to 104, so we should be able to do the FET after my next regular period. Fortunately I have now stopped bleeding. We'll BD this month, but after 3 years of BD'ing and no baby, it's wishful thinking. I'm sure we will enjoy it after several weeks of not being allowed!

Bliss: Great news those seem like stong numbers...so happy for you


I went this morning for my second beta and wont have my results back until tomorrow mid morning sometime...I am just wishing the numbers look good...this wait is killing me we havnt had numbers this high before..I mean I know its only 44 but I gotta keep hope right..

Well sending everyone lots and lots of baby dust

jmbella- I can't imagine waiting overnight for my results. You are a strong woman. Fingers and toes crossed for GREAT results for you tomorrow.

Wishing- you are too funny! Have a GREAT time. Could you also have a glass of delicious red wine for me? Your next go will be here before you know it. I love that you are so positive. I believe in my heart that it really makes a difference.

LYD10- I still have to schedule my u/s for sometime between 6/1 and 6/7. Hoping to accomplish that tomorrow.

Thanks Nancy, Nicksgam, Wishing, Jmbella and LYD10. I am stoked, but it is still settling in I think.

Kerri/Texas- I agree, with the other ladies. All told between two fresh cycles and two frozen cycles I went through 14 fertilized eggs. I transferred my last three this past time and it appears one (maybe two) made it. Those I transferred earlier that didn't make it were slightly higher quality, and only one was grade A. My point is... it takes the right ONE at the right TIME. Keep the faith and stay positive. Prayers to you.

Hi everyone!

Blissfull- Great 2nd beta honey! Keep up the good work! when are you going for your u/s? Can't wait to see how many!

Greekchick- Filenada min anisixeis! ola tha pane kala! It only takes one!! hang in there and it will happen this time! I had only one blast to transfer this time and I am feeling very positive that this one will give me my BFP!

HopeisallIhave- Glad you succesfully made it to 18 weeks! Bravo mama!

Kerri- When is your ET dear! I've lost track if it happend already then welcome to the crazy 2ww!

Nancy- I really hope your FET schedules soon and you bring home those babies of yours!

Whishingandhoping- I love your PMA my friend! that's the spirit! Your FET will be the winning one! ...I am glad you are having a great time with your hubby! enjoy!

jmbella- I may say your lab is really SLOW honey! I can't wait for that second strong beta mama!

Moorebaby- So glad to hear from you! Thank you for your good wishes! ...I am looking forward to cheer you on your BFP!

thanks everyone who's thinking and of me and sending my baby dust! It means a lot!

AFM- 6 days passed since my FET with a single 5day blast! 4 more days to go and get my BFP! ...I haven't got a single sign of anything! not even period sign! is this normal? this is my first FET and my body is so relaxed and If it wasn't for my positive thinking I would say that I don't feel pregnant at all! and I know is too early to get a sign but i would love to have one. and i don't mean I want to start vomitting or feeling nausea its tooooo much early for those signs, I would just take anything oh well, I bought the matterial for the christening bombonieres and I am making them full speed so that my DH can take with him as much as possible. he is leaving for London on Thursday and he is coming back on Tuesday. He is going for his cousin wedding which is on Saturday. I will have my beta on that day and hopefully it will be good numbers so he can have a good time at the wedding! this is the first time he is So positive about our little bean and that makes me have more hopes He is so sure that this time is going to work and that is going to be a girl so that he is taking a big case with him to fill it with baby clothes and maternity clothes from London...we love "Baby Gap" and the prices in london are realy realy good so as soon as I tell him the good news he is going shopping on Monday...he is crazy! i told him i preferred not to buy anything now (even though I am dreaming of buying baby clothes my self) and we should wait to see if its a BFP first and then he can buy something neutral if he want's end of June when he goes sagain to London for the Christening of our Goddaugher. I don't want to ginx anything but hey! try to convice my DH about that! he is not superstisious! He is going to be one crazy dad! that's for sure! I am not even pregnant and he wants to buy me cute maternity dresses! he sais that I will look beautifull when I am pregnant and he is certain of that....omg! I am telling you! this time he just lost his mind! Oh! God I really hope this time we get our BFP! I will hate to see him fell from his pink cloud! he is so happy about this time for the first time for some reason since we've started IVF two years ago and I will hate to dissapoint him if we get a negative. Of course I would be devastated too but this time he really believes its going to happend and the previous times he was not so positive about it and had so many questions over the procedure. This time he just tells me that everything is going to be fine! Ok I really pray that everything will be fine and we get our BFP on Saturday for the first time! I believe in Miracles!!! and this time I hope we get our little miracle!

...got to go do some grocery shopping...my DH wan'ts Spaghetti Bolognese for dinner so I need to go buy stuff to make it...last night I made the most delicious home made burgers ever! delicious! ...I think I must have been a chef or something in my previous life (...if there is such a thing... ) my DH told me I should open a restaurant!...yeah right! On Saturday is my best friends (Maggie ) youngest son birthday party and I told her that if I get a BFP I am coming! otherwise sorry but I don't think I'll come. she understand of course but she is too positive that It will be positive and I will go. She already order a cheescake and I told her I will make it on Friday and she will come and pick it up just in case Saturday I wont go...On Sunday is the christening of one of or closest friends they are having the christening of there baby girl and I already said I am not going. we will visit them at their place sometime next weekend. I can't handle it going if its a negative so I said no just to be sure...

Baby dust and sticky vibes to us all!!!!!

...and don't forget ladies! it only takes one!!! ...the more I say it, the more I believe it my self!!! and my little bean will stick and grow!! God! I talk too much again!!! sorry!!! ....

Anton,

I think it is so super great that you are so relaxed. That is just wonderful!!!! I go between being totally obsessed and worried to it not being on my mind at all. I'm a total nut. LOL LOL

I had read where you don't have sore boobs or anything. That is wonderful. My boobs are big and swollen and tender. I'm sure it's from the estrogen injections (at least that's my guess). I expect it to continue as I start the PIO. Oh well, it's totally worth it to get a BFP.

Keep up your great PMA. You are such a great encourager. Can't wait for your BFP!!!!!

[anton]

Nancy- hi there! ...On all previous fresh cycles I got the sore and tender boobs but with this FET everything is totally different! I guess I am a FET rooky! ... maybe my boobs should be sore & tender and having no symptoms might not be such a good sign or maybe that's what supposed to be with a FET. Beats me! ...hah! the only thing that I 've noticed is that my throat is a bit swallen...and that's a flu sign I guess! Hang in there dear! the 2 weeks will be over before you know it! when is your beta due? ...I am sending you tons of sticky vibes to have with you through this 2ww!!

[jmbella]

Sorry I have been a neglectful LURKER:

Bliss: Congratulations on Second Beta and yes,I am a POAS- addict, but you have to know when to... I freaked myself out with darker/lighter lines which is totally unnecessary at this point. Try to relax while you are...

Nwquiz: My buddy. So sorry to hear about the swollen ovary. Take care with it--mine is just NOW starting to get smaller. It will be sore for a while I am afraid, especially with all the hormones. I am so happy for you seeing HB!! YIPEE!! It has been a long journey, but well worth it.


Anton: Dear. You are next!! Your BFP is going to be here on Saturday and I cannot wait to do somersaults (while in bed of course) to celebrate with you!!!!

To all the other cycling ladies: Hang in there!! You can do it!!! Tons of Baby Dust!!!!

[nicksgam]

Jmbella ~ Congratulations on your second beta!!!!

Nwquiz ~ Sorry to hear about the pain in your ovary. But how amazing to see your little bean's heartbeat.

Anton ~ Wow your DH is going baby crazy! Can’t wait to read about your BFP on Saturday.

Sending Tons of baby dust and sticky vibes to everyone!!!

AFM ~ Still bleeding; I go in for an u/s tomorrow to make sure the miscarriage is complete. On the bright side we are planning a road trip to Whistler Canada in July, little nervous about travel so far with a 15 month old. Our plan is to drive 7hrs a day which will take us 3 day to get there. We would fly but this is a mountain biking vacation and we need to bring too much gear and course our basset hound (don't want to put her in cargo). So our baby making plans are on hold until July, which is best. We need some time to enjoy our family before we start again. My RE recommended that I go on DHEA and I am checking into where or not DH's sperm count and motility would improve if he took follistim and hcg.
