Thanks everyone on the BFP Congrats.

Sunshine - I agree with Blue - you should write a book!

We - r u still bleeding? How are you feeling?

AFM - BW again Monday. They put my US out until March 15th. With the past two, I have lost them by then. Guess they trying to see if I will make it that far and not waste their time. OH! Does anyone have any idea of normal ranges for progestrone (using PIO)? Mine was 28.9 and that is A LOT lower then the other two!

Have a great weekend ladies!

[WeHaveHope]

Akdelp-thank you for asking. I'm still not feeling well but I'm sure everything will get better soon. I have still been bleeding so I don't know where the bleeding is coming from. I'm a little nervous today since last night was my last PIO injection. No more injections or patches for me. I will continue on tge Lovenox injection throughout the entire pregnancy. About your question, my RE looks to see the Progesterone anywhere above 20. So your level is good. My level was low with the last pregnancy, in the teens, an my RE increased my dosage to 1.5cc nightly. With this pregnancy we had the same issue and we increased the dosage also to 1.5cc nightly.

adkelp, lol I think I did write a book for my last post. Hey I need to find out when is your birthday (just month and date). I have almost everyone's but yours.

Maria, Every week is certainly a milestone and we're going to put everything in His hands. Hang in there and I'll continue to pray for you and everyone till the day we bring home our rainbow babies! x

Margi, You're always an inspiration, thank you for stalking...we'll consider it good luck!

Did you know Walmart carries an hpt called First Signal. It's not with the others, instead it is in the $0.88 section. Hpts for 88 cents!!! They are made by Inverness. From what I can find, the test for a level of 25. I can't say how early you can test because I am over 25. I got a clear strong line but I should be much higher than 25 by now.
Who knew! 88 cents!

Got my Doppler today and thankfully found the heart rate within 5 min of trying. It was nerve racking until I found it. Yey! This definitely helps to pass the time between long doctors visits now.

Blue, I can't wait till next Friday to hear your u/s results!

I am 12w3d today and not really showing. I guess I forgot since last time how long this takes. Esspecially since I am pretty tall and with backward tilted uterus. I think I'll be half thru my pregnancy before people start noticing.

Christy- You really should think about writing a book your Ideas were so good... As for my DH not a romantic like that so the only Door I would be able to use is goingt o our first date lol LOVE THE Scanvenger Hunt idea... I actually put together over the summer a 2hr one for my Family and they had a blast it was just as much putting one together... I had them climbing the Jungle Gym at the park for clues and it was a All girls night event so much fun

Blue- Hope you feel better soon, I was sick like that last week not fun... I used those nose strips and LOVED them

Gina- How exciting that you are moving back home your Mom must be excited... How long have you lived out of Country?

Margi- How are you, Congrats on the twins you have been one of my Inspirations to watch since I was on some of the boards with you As for OHSS I had it both my cycles so far, My first Cycle I hit 5000 so the next cycle she lowered my dose and I still hit over 3000 but she gave me that amazing pill you talked about and it went much better then the 1st cycle... Never ended up in the hospital thank God but she kept a close watch on me.. As for this Cycle she lowered me even more and if I had to guess she will probably lower more today.. As of right now I am on Gonal F 112.5... Thanks for checking in with us girls

Wehavehope- I am saying lots of prayers everything is ok

Lyd- How exciting to have the doppler and get to listen that will definitely help during your pregnancy to help the time fly

AFM I go for U/S and BW in about 20 mins Ill check back in when I get home

[kynlee]

Akdelp- Happy Belated Birthday

AFM- Just got back from DR's I have 13 follies over 12 and multi under the 12... The Nurse said everything is going good so I am guessing er will be Weds 13 sounds like a great # to me, last two cycles I had over 20 so I think them lower meds gave me less but that works for me if I dont get OHSS... Baby Dust to everyone

[Sunshine1576]

Blue, Thanks for sharing with us about Walmart carrying a brand of hpt for only .88c! The way I see it why get 3 when you can have 30 and poas away! I cannot wait for your next appointment, remind me why are they waiting so long? -I know me asking you that probably doesn't change anything but I will keep you in my prayers. x

Kynlee, I'm so excited about your upcoming IVF!!! Really anticipating good things to happen this cycle, cannot wait to find out how ER goes, it will be here before you know it! I hope you are enjoying some time off this weekend with dh. Not sure what happened to the server earlier, I told dh they probably banned me since I'm often yacking about on other topics besides IVF stuff, but was glad to know someone didn't choose to ban me, (or at least to my knowledge.) lol I really need sleep, starting to sound a little loco but of course it's Saturday night and I'm fighting to stay away maybe thinking I might miss something exciting...
Well G'night

[blueeyedreamer]

Christy, I think it is so they can be sure they would see a sac if it's there. It eliminates second guessing. I'll be 6 weeks or so which should be enough to feel confident in the results.

The wait sucks!

[Gina1976]

Oh my goodness! I kept trying to get on yesterday but it saying it was forbidden! My nerves are getting the better of me! Finally grew back my own nails.....gone! lol. I'm just really anxious lately and need to get back on my anxiety pills but hate taking them because of their sexual side effects. AF came along and is horrible. Not pain wise but it's made me on the depressed side for some reason and the bleeding is worse than ever! I may be nearing the end but not sure. It's longer than usual too.

Kynlee- My parents are beyond excited!! I've been waiting for the day my Mom and I could go off during the day while James and my Dad are at work. However my Dad is now retired but I know we'll still have our alone time. I was hoping to get "home" sooner. They aren't old by any means but I wish it happened even before now, they are getting near their 70's. I have lived there since we married in 1998. We first moved to Korea a year, the to GA (Ft. Stewart) which was about 3 1/2 hrs away not bad), then we went to Germany for almost 5 years. I did get to visit a lot the first year there because my husband was deployed and my son wasn't in school yet. Then we moved to Ft. Knox. It was a bit far away for just a weekend visit but we did get to see them about every 3-4 months by them coming or us. Most of that was meeting them 1/2 so DS could spend time with them on Spring break or some in the summer when we couldn't be there. Then back to Germany..........if we leave when we hope to, we'll go home sooner than you normally have to. It's a 3 yr tour but we'd only be doing 2.

[Gina1976]

Kynlee- Glad your appointment went well. Yay for your ER being so close!! How exciting!

Blue- Hope everything is good at your appointment! How exciting. Many thoughts and prayers coming your way.

[kynlee]

Sunshine- TY cant wait for ER it seems like forever since I havent done IVF since last march, IUI was so much easier on me...

Gina- I am so happy for you that you get to come home soon... from everywhere you have been I am assuming James is in the service, Thank god for Men & women like him... We have Great people serving our Country and Spouses that are just as strong to stand by them... I so appreciate all they have done for us... When do you start your next round of IVF , are you waiting to come back to Georgia to start? Sorry for all the questions I was a late arrival to this board...

AFM- I was getting so stressed lol yesterday when I couldnt get on I thought they took the site from my computer I was thinking I wasnt going to be able to get on til Monday at work... Well My nurse called said to lower my Gonal F to 75 units and to come back Monday for U/S and Bloodwork by E level was 978, not as bad as last time so I am thinking I should be good this time hopefully.. Hope everyone has a Great Sunday I am heading to Church Talk to you ladies soon
