Crashing for WeHaveHope:

While I'm not a member of this thread, I've been watching your progress and cheering you on. I'm thinking of you today and wishing you the best. As everyone here knows, this isn't an easy road and it's definitely not for the faint of heart - we're all here for you during the best and the worst. *hugs*

WeHaveHope- I'm praying for you & sending positive thoughts!

Hi everyone! I had my baseline today. My lining is at 4.3 & I have about 6 follies on each side. I will get the results of my b/w later today & they will give me instructions on whether I can decrease my Lupron & start Gonal-f. I'm ready to get this show on the road!!!

Anton - I am soooo sorry. (((HUGS))).

Sunshine - let us know how it goes!

Will do personals again some day! Fair is over Sunday, then we are going out of town Thursday - Monday before school starts! Have a great rest of the week everyone.

moorebaby - Good Luck!! Hope this is your lucky cycle.

[Dreams2009]

Wehavehope - Thinking about you today! I am praying that your beta reverses course and starts heading back up!

Sunsine1576 - Great follicle updates! 6 consistent size ones is amazing Glad to hear you are on track and keeping up with the scheduled cycle. Looks like the new RE is taking you down the path you were looking to be on!

Wishingandhoping - Great beta numbers. The first u/s will be here before you know it

Anton - So sorry for the BFN - this is my first time back on since your post. Really thinking about you and hope you have take some QT with the DH and jump right back on the IVF train!

Moorebaby - Congrats on a good baseline! You'll be starting stims in no time!

Sorry for the short post and if I missed people....

AFM - I have been very MIA lately. Not only was work busy but unexpectedly DH's grandfather passed away last week. We have been going back and forth (2 hours each way) for 5 days the past 2 weeks to see family, viewings, funeral, etc. So needless to say I have not been able to keep up with this board! All the new people, new paths and people's results. So sorry I have not been more active! I had another u/s today - I am 9 weeks, 2 days (due date 3/7/12.) Baby is getting bigger and was able to see the profile of them along with a hand and foot. One more appt with the RE on 8/19 and then getting released to the OB for an appt on 9/2. I will be really sad to say goodbye to my RE as he was absolutely amazing. Sending tons of baby dust to all you lovely ladies!

DReams-I am so sorry for your loss

Sunshine-Hope all goes well at your appointment today GROW follies GROW!

madam=YAY for AF showing her ugly face Best of luck this week..

Ninde-What happened w/the spotting? I know I spotted during the first week of stims but that was expected bc I didnt have full flow yet due to my estrace protocol they had me on! Hope you spoke to the nurse and everything is OK By the way My DH just was in Ireland in June...he LOVED it! We may go back nexy year together

Kim-Ive never had that biopsy done but I can imagine it was not fun! Hope you get GREAT results and a GREAT plan for your upcoming cucle

Lyd-I am in the 2ww and at night I feel nausea but Im not on shots just crinone so I dont know...my guess is these EVIL meds!

Sorry If I missed anyone...I still have to catch up!

AFM-Dinner at this awesome irish pub last night with family! Need to hit the food store. Return to work next week, beta is on monday, POAS again this morning and its BFN...I bought a ton of sticks so Im just using them up like crazy! There the early pregnancy tests off the internet I just am really wishing it turns positive just ONCE!

Forgive my lack of personals but I'm on my phone outside of work and I'm a little freaked out. I got a call from my re and he said my dh has low sperm morphology at 2% and recommends icsi. He left a msg so I couldn't ask questions. I know what icsi is, but what does it do? Is it safe? Are we playing creator by picking the sperm? If the dr picks the sperm why can't the healthy sperm penetrate the egg? I know that. It is very new...and I'm just even more scared than I was before. Is there something my dh can do to increase morphology? Thanks

Wehavehope - oh honey im so sorry u're going through this, but im sure as the ladies told u that maybe the bleeding was from one of the twins. im praying for u to have great beta numbers. i have everything crossed for you right now. u've aways been a great support for me and i wish u nothing but the best. will keep praying for u.

Lauren - Hello PUPO, on monday u will be P without the UPO i hate HPT, they are evil, wait till Monday and im sure u're gonna have ur BFP. it's nice that u enjoyed dinner in that irish restaurant. sending ur way lots and lots of sticky vibes and baby dust.

[WeHaveHope]

Beta down even further to 712
Nurse was the one who called so stl waiting for my RE to call with instructions. I am devastated but I've cried all my tears in the last two days. I have no more tears in me now.

[Sunshine1576]

I am so sorry to read this WeHaveHope, please keep all us posted. I have you in my prayers today.

[Sunshine1576]

Quick update before my afternoon nap...Today's ultrasound was very detailed, well I can say she spent alot of time with the scan. Said we now have 5 on the right and 6 on the left all measuring 12 or better. The biggest was 20.2mm, thining tht might be too big to use. Apparently since Wednesday lot has been brewing. Nurse will call me later on with instructions, but we are thinking the iui is going to happen Sunday or possibly Monday (which would be good since dh last "did his thing" on Friday night)...Anyway waiting now for the nurse and find out about the estrogen levels. Woke up this morning with sore breast, oh and the lining is around 7.6 so it's looking better. I now pray this cycle won't be cancelled with too many follicles, that has crossed my mind OR could they convert this to an IVF? Well I catch up more later, off to the coziest bed for an afternoon nap.

Wehavehope- im so sorry. I dont even know what to say.

[LYD10]

Hi guys -

Wehavehope - I am so sorry! i cant believe this is happening. i was really hoping it was just one of the two. i am so sorry! but they'll check it again in a few days (with my ectopic i had the "pleasure" of following my beta all the way down). I am hoping your will turn around!

Lauren - I am sorry you got a BFN again. I'll be getting mine tonight i am sure. and to add insult to injury - i am freaking nauseous and i hate it - because i know its not due to pregnancy. its just and evil reminder of what i am missing! progesterone is evil - i have all the pregnancy signs except for the pregnancy!!!!!

Fruit - my beta is on wednesday morning. thanks for checking in with us! you are so sweet to still follow.

Moorebaby - yey for starting real soon!!!

AFM - i am nauseous and i hate it - because i know its not due to pregnancy. its just and evil reminder of what i am missing! progesterone is evil - i have all the pregnancy signs except for the pregnancy!!!!! the only thing i dont have is my trusted implantation tugging sensation. i wish i had that! that's the only thing i trust. but alas i dont have it - instead its deathly queit downthere. depressing!!! i started poasing last night - my first BFN. i guess i'll keep going. its freaking depressing!! i can already visualize myself doing this again after 3 months. i will want to wait for DH to finish his 3 month course of supliments. since i'll be doing a long lupron cycle again, i'll probably skip a period and then start the cycle after the following period - about a month from now. this way it will be 3 months by the ET day.
