Summer Board 2011

[LYD10]

Hey girls...any of u out there with MF the embryologist called and said my DH analysis was much better than it had ever been...not his count but quality! He's been taking conception XR along with a men's mega vitamin and coq10. There's a few key ingredients the doctor recommended for men so if u want more info lmk! Also they did picsi which is another technique for icsi!

Lauren - how long did your hubby take these for before testing?

[easley4]

Lydia10~ Yay for being PUPO!!! I'm a total POAS addict too! So excited for you!

WeHaveHope~ WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!! Great beta, maybe twins? When's your 1st U/S?

Lauren319~ Welcome back! This has been a pretty lucky board so far, I bet it is gonna rub off on you!!!

[Lauren]

Lyd-congrats on being pupo! This will be quick bc it's late and I'm so tired but he took them since march! Till now

[nicksgam]

hi ladies - i am back in the game. we transfered 4 frozen embies today. my beta is on 10th. i am stocked up on hpts. i will be poasing this time - dont know why. but i will be i guess this was a 4 day transfer - 16 cell embie. hard to tell. i only had 1 embie on time the others way slow.

i am resting today but tomorrow back to usual activity. i decided to forgo of bedrest from now on. too much stuff to do with a 1 year old and work. here is hoping it works despite that! i am felling pretty good about this decision as there is no evidence that bedrest helps and my doc agreed with me on this.

Congrats, Grow embies grow!!!! Sending you tons of sticky vibes!!!

[Ninde]

FvRogers: hi and welcome
Lyd10: congratulations on being pupo

In feeling a good bit better yesterday I decided to workout hard in the gym and have managed to pull muscles inky waist and back. So much for enthusiasm, I'm now on the flat of my back!!

Ninde

[fvrogers]

Ladies thank you so much for such a warm welcome . It is so encouraging to read the siggys and see all the BFPs and ladies with successful cycles. I pray that some of that rubs off on me.

Ninde - So sorry that you pulled muscles . I know how miserable that is. Hope you are up and about soon!

Easley - We transfered 2 embies, and we even had 4 make it to freeze. So we are super excited !

Lyd10 - Congrats on the transfer. Will keep you in my prayers. You are a week behind me. I decided not to POAS this time. I drove myself and DH crazy last time squinting at sticks several times a day - I was out of control. This time I am waiting until my beta and my stress level is significantly less. But, I will live vicariously through you and look forward to your results !!!

AFM - Feeling pretty good and remaining positive. I have been having the most vivid and weirdest dreams for the last few days . That is the one thing I do not recall having my last cycle. Every-time I close my eyes my dreams are so wild that when I wake up I have to reorient myself because I am not sure where I am. I am also still having a lot of cramping - it has not let up since my ER. It is not as bad, but I can still feel it. That and the nausea I am attributing to the Prometrium.

[Prayersnpies]

Hey ladies, I'm taking a little vacation to Colo to go visit family- hoping that this occupies my time a little and its a good way to pass one of the two weeks! Best wishes to you all- and I'll keep checking in to hear what's going with all your journey's .

[WeHaveHope]

Good morning my dear friends, hope everyone is doing well.

Prayersnpies-I hope you enjoy your vacation. It should keep you mind off of the dreaded 2WW a bit. I can't wait to hear all about it and especialy you BFP when you return. Enjoy!

fvrogers-Welcome again. You'll find that everyone on this board is absolutely wonderful. Keep your PMA during the 2WW. 8-3 will be here before you know it. Are you planning in POAS this weekend? Wishing you all the best. That BFP will be here before you know it.

Lauren-Try to keep you PMA up during the 2WW. I know it's tough but your BFP will be here in no time. Maybe I missed it, but when are you scheduled for your Beta? Keeping all my finger and toes crossed! Will you be POAS begpre the Beta? I cheated to bad it was absolutely insane.

LYD10-Congratulations on being PUPO. How exciting. Keep your spirets ip during the 2WW. When is your Beta? I can't wait to hear about your BFP. Wishing you all the best. Keeping everything crossed for good luck.

Ninde-sorry your not feeling well. The pulled muscle should not hurt much longer. Applying ice is good for the first 72 hours. Hope that helps and hope you feel better soon.

easley4-I hope your doing well. Please check in with us often and give us updates. Wishing you all the best.

Anton-hope your doing well and not going too crazy during the 2WW. That BFP will be here in a blink of an eye. So, are you finally going to POAS tomorrow? I can't wait to heat your screams all the way to sunny Glorida when you tell you DH the news.

wishingandhoping-I realized we are only one day apart. How exciting. I can't wait to hear about those great Beta numbers!!!

Nicksgam-wishing all the best for this cycle. I will keep you in my prayers.

AGM-I am feeling realy good. Starting to have some symptoms such a's my breasts are a little sore and my lower abdomen feels like the muscles are attaching, other than that everything is good. Well actually, the heartburn is pretty bad at times that would be my only complaint. I reLy want to thank everyone for your support. I could have never made it this far without all of you. I can only hope to be able to return the favor. As you all know I had a positive HPT on 7-24 but chose not to tell DH until the Beta. We have been on the crazy rollercoaster together I just wanted to spare him the pain of telling him that the HPT was positive but the Beta was negative. It was very difficult to keep this away from him because we are truly best friends and we share everything with each other. But, it wa so much sweeter to be able to tell him that finally we were really pregnant. And with a great Beta of 275!!! DH was absolutely beside himself. I could hear the smile through the phone. And when we finally got home from work and were able to see each other, we hugged like never before. He has been talking my to belly since the date of the transfer. He is too cute. I know realistically we have a really long way to go. But this feels good and I pray that God gives us our miricle. My next Beta is on 8-2. My RE said we will have the first u/s in a few weeks. I want you all to know that I wish you nothing but the best. I pray that your dreams come true and please know that you are all in my thought and prayers constantly. Sending you much love, lots of sticky baby dust, and lots of positive thoughts. Never give up!

Crashing for some former cycle buddies...

Lauren - I was wondering if you'd have my favorite RE! When we were released to our OB I actually cried saying goodbye to Dr V. Since he was able to save my remaining ovary w/ my 2nd ectopic, it was extra special that he was the one to do our ET and see us at our last appointment. Hope your 2ww isn't dragging too much. And WOW on you having some to freeze...that is sooooo awesome!!

Ester - Sounds like your ER/ET isn't too far away so I'll be stalking and cheering you on. Really hoping this cycle gives you that beautiful BFP!

Lauren319 - I was so happy to see you post! I've been wondering how you were doing and missed your humor on the boards. Good luck this cycle and I'll be stalking you too.

[Lauren]

Klinger-Yea it was nice to have him for ET! That was the only thing that made me feel better going in that day! he is the best they have (my opinion)

AFM-Well the RE just called and they were following 4 embies? They thought one or two were gonna make it to a nice blast but didnt. She said it was highly likely the ones they transfered were just fine! This 2ww is gonna make me crazy its only saturday....I have a cramp here and there nothing crazy! Trying tostay positive Its hard to to tell if I feel my ovaries throbbing or a cramp in my uterus? IDK trying to take it easy still but gets kinda boring and I cant sit in a mess! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend..Betas coming up this week!!! Cant wait for all these BFP's

[MaTina LI]

Transfered today! RE said it was a good embie and a good transfer! Decided to relax for the rest of the day, read and rent a movie from Fios. DH had to leave for work after the transfer so its me and my loyal mutt on the couch today.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

[moorebaby]

Lauren- Oh, I'm so sorry you didn't end up having ant frosties. But, I am confident, just as your RE said, that they transferred the best ones...the ones that are going to give you a BFP! I read that PICSI was created by Dr. Huszar, who is the Director of the Male Fertility and Sperm Physiology Laboratory at Yale Fertility Center, which is where I go. I've met w/ him several times...really smart man!!!

klinger (Amanda)- Thanks so much for your support! Maribel is a cutie!

WeHaveHope- Great symptoms! Awe, I'm so happy for you & DH! Did you end up telling him that you were POASing before the BETA? Praying for a great 2nd BETA on Tuesday!

fruit- I was just looking at your siggie....we've both had 5 fresh cycles & are on our 6th! I'm really praying hard that this is our lucky cycle!!! Are you still planning to POAS tomorrow?

Prayersnpies- Have a great time in Colorado w/ your family! I hope it makes your 2ww go by a little faster & you get your BFP!

Felicia- Welcome! Vivid & weird dreams are a sure sign of being preggo!

Ninde- That's not good about a pulled muscle. Hope you feel better soon!

Lydia- Congrats on being PUPO!!! You crack me up...when are you planning on starting to POAS?

mandarae- August 15th will be here soon!

Christy- Please be careful! Make sure you are monitoring your iron girl!

Wishingandhoping- Of course you will be getting a BFP on Monday! So, you will definitely need your Estrogen patches & PIO!

Brandy- I'm so sorry! I know how it feels & it is so unfair! I'm glad you & DH came to a decision to do another IUI! Doing the AF dance for you.

Kerri- I feel awful that you had to go through something so devastating & unfair, but I'm glad you're jumping back into the game! I think planting a tree is a wonderful idea!

Tina- Yay, you're PUPO!!! I just finished reading 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult. Great book! Now, I'm reading another book by her called Sing You Home. I would actually recommend it to all of us TTC ladies & gentlemen. It's about a married couple who has been TTC unsuccessfully through IVF. Then, they get divorced. He becomes a born-again Christian & she becomes a lesbian. The rest of the story is about their frozen embryos...legalities & moralities of what to do w/ them. It's excellent! I'm halfway through it & can't put it down! When's your BETA?

anton- Today, you're 7dp5dt!!! How are you feeling?

Alwaysangel- I'm so sorry about the bleeding scare, but I'm so happy that the u/s revealed everything's looking good! Just take it easy!

teachergirl- Welcome! Another teacher! I teach Health/6th, 7th, & 8th grades. I'm so sorry about your previous cycle...how disappointing! If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? What is your financial/insurance involvement in IVF? How old is DH & does he have any fertility issues? Also, ED would obviously give you a better chance statistically speaking, but if you are not emotionally ready to give up on your eggs, then ED wouldn't be the right decision, at least not yet. I'm only bringing up all of these points b/c that is what I would look at in order to decide whether I should continue trying w/ my own eggs or choose ED. Whatever decision you come to, I wish you the best of luck & a BFP at the end of your journey!

Lauren319- HEY!!! I've missed you & your humor! I'm so glad you're back!!! This will be it for you...a BFP & a healthy baby in your arms!

MadameX- Doing the AF dance for you!

blueeyedreamer- AF is almost here & you'll be back on the crazy rollercoaster!!!

Yasmina710- How are you doing?

Kiminish- Has AF showed her ugly face yet?

nicksgam- Yay for starting stims today!

tuffy4u- How are you feeling?

[WeHaveHope]

MaTina-Congratulations on being PUPO. I'll be praying for a BFP got you. Relax and take it easy this weekend. You deserve it.

[LYD10]

Hi moorebaby, thank you for the shout out. I am skipping on my bedrest this weekend. Just git back from DS first swim lesson. It eS good except he was freezing so we left earlier. I need to get him one of those body warming long sleeve shirts.
