Cycling In 2012 Board (formerly Fall/Winter 2011-2012)

[Ninde]

Hi ladies

A client cancelled so thought I'd catch up now in case I can't later.

Adkelp: Hmmm, what do you think the pain is? If it gets bad will you ring your RE?

Christy: Oh good - a day off! Thats brilliant. What will you do with it?

Nicole: I'm with Christy - you have been through so much lately and it would be worth checking out the spell you had. How are you now? My trainer took my body fat with a scales that measures it - like an ordinary once but takes body fat too. You will love this - he is so bothered by what happened that he went researching it over the weekend and reckons that I have either Polycystic ovarian syndrome (been down that road - I'm borderline), Syndrome x (I think that is a dodgy sounding syndrome) or even better - Cushing's syndrome! Its lovely he is concerned and to be honest I'm comforted as I was afraid he thought I might be cheating which I'm not but Cushing's Syndrome?! Anyway, he wants me to have some blood tests.

Julia: We are a big board arn't we? Its lovely to hear from you. And its great that you will have your ER in less than a month. How are you feeling?

Lyd: I had heard that body fat checks can be unreliable but whats with the submerged in a tank of water?! And eh, no thanks! I hope your tests turn out to be just fine. Is it mandatory in California to have them done?

Afm: Kind of tired. Had a 7am session in the gym and they really kill me. My clinical director commented on the fact that I'm much more dressed up on a Tue than on a Monday - I witheringly looked at him and told him that yes, I have far more time to spend putting on a skirt and top on a Tue when I'm not up at 6am than on a Monday when I need to be able to just grab my stuff from the gym and go!

About IVF meds. Is there enough time between finding out what medications you'll be on and having to start them? We may just try and get one IVF in before leaving Germany. My friends medications where about $2,000 after the exchange rate here. I know it can be different with each patient. However, if we can get them online cheaper and have time to get them, we'll do that.

[akdelp]

Sunshine - that is for sure! I only bought 4 this time, so I couldn't be as crazy...well, I think it makes it worse.

Ninde - I asked my hubby what he thought and he said not to call cuz there is nothing they can do anyway this early. I will have an US in two weeks so I wait until then....

For my cycles, I knew a few weeks in advance what the prescriptions were. However, one of the meds that I took (Follistim) must be shipped cold so it had to be shipped over night and it was the most expensive med too. If any of your meds require that they be kept cold, keep that in mind when you consider shipping time.

[blueeyedreamer]

Hello, my name is Nicole and I am a POAS addict.

So I started today off in a really, really bad mood. I was absolutely convinced that this road had ended. I'm cramp and the spotting seemed to increase slightly. I left the house determined I would get a 0 beta tomorrow. I went to Target, got a magazine, almost threw up as I walked past the baby aisle, and then decided I would get yet another box of hpt because we all know it is a good idea to blow your life savings on pee sticks.

I went for lunch still so depressed that my pizza didn't even taste good. I even let myself have a soda. Fast forward to the ladies room at Macys. Please tell me I am not the only one to POAS while shopping! I got a different brand this time. I used the Target brand early result which are supposed to be 25miu measurement. I don't want something that measures 10 or 12. I want it to measure 25 or more. Who knows if that is what I got. Regardless, it came up positive immediately with a nice blue line that I could see without squinting or manipulating the test. I'm hoping that means my beta has gone up. It was 15 yesterday. The only thing I don't like is that as time goes on the line is getting lighter and lighter. I guess that is why they say read between 2 and 5 mins, not later.

Reality is that the outlook is grim, but anything is possible. I have found many others who started with ridiculously low betas and been successful, but have found more that have not. For once I would like to beat the odds and not have every door slam in my face.

My test is at 9am tomorrow and I will have the results around 1pm.

[blueeyedreamer]

Here is the pic of what I am getting now. I got two like this today with a 1.5 hour hold.

[Sunshine1576]

Nicole/Blueeyed- Too funny! I know you will find several past and present cycle buddies who will be joining you in the poas addict meetings...I'm just glad stores keep this aisle well supplied. Anyway keep us posted on how tomorrow goes you will always have our support and prayers.

Kynlee- I'm so glad you're back and feel this board is going to be even better with you rejoining us. Welcome back!

Ninde- your clinical director seems observant. Half of the time when I show up even at the clinic on my off days I look no where put together, but I do that because I'm not a morning person at 5am, usually hitting the snooze button 4 or 5 times...
Hmmm off day? Not sure what I'm going to get into Wednesday, but hopefully Blackjack and Vegas will let me sleep in.
Boss comes back from her long vacation and tonight I almost got sick at work thinking about how much of a perfectionist she is and dreading how many flaws she'll intentionally find tomorrow when she walks in, I really hope she'll well rested. G'night.

[WeHaveHope]

Blue-I am praying for you. I'm praying so hard that your Beta goes up. Please know that we are all here to support you. Sending you all of my love.

AFM-it is about 3:30am EST and I can't get back to sleep. stomach us a bit upset and I'm having some bright red bleeding again. I had some in Subday and again yesterday and again this morning. It's quite watery abmnd very mucousy, sorry for TMI. This morning I definantely am a bit concerned or bothered by the continued bleeding. It has consistently bees bright red for three days. I'm going to give my OB a call and see if they will see me this morning. Sorry for the lack of personals, still not feeling well. Sending you all xoxo...

[Ninde]

Nicole: that sounds like a crappy day. But a really good result on the test. Im crossing everything for you x

Kynlee: lovely to meet you

Maria: i hope you got back to sleep. Please let us know how you are doing and im praying x

Christy: you sound genuinely like you are dreading this woman. Perfectionists are tough because those standards are just too much. I wish you luck and patience x

Ninde

[kynlee]

Nicole- Ill be saying prayers today for your Beta I have heard of people having a low beta and then it shoots up from no where, so fingers and toes are crossed for you today...

Sunshine Good Luck with your Boss today, who knows she may say Wow what a awesome Job you did this week, if not here issue... I hate bosses like that, had one and couldnt wait to get away from her... Ill text you later

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today heading out for my first follie scan

[akdelp]

blue - can't say I have poas while shopping, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do! I am praying your beta keeps climbing. Why aren't they doing an ultrasound to see what is going on!????! That would help, I think.

AFM - poas late last night, got too impatient to wait for morning! I got a BFP, that was very clearly a BFP! Now for the bloodwork Thursday. Hopefully it will be a good solid number. Hurry up Thursday!!!!

[blueeyedreamer]

Adkelp- it's too early for a us.

Thanks for the wishes. Here's to hope!
