Hi girls- Just wanted to jump on quick to give you all a update... They retrieved 19 eggs today, which is good but later called to say they had to do icsi so now I am crossing my fingers that everything turns out perfect... I am sore but been resting all day taking it easy watching movies...

Kerpupples- I will definitely try the burger thing, we have a place here that makes awesome burgers but I dont get them to often since they probably arent the best for you Been drinking tons of water and gaterade too...

Great news. 19 is a great number. Rest up. I can't wait to hear about your fertility report. Keeping you and your eggies in my prayers.

[Gina1976]

Kynlee- That is a great number! I hope you get great results when your fertility report is in. Rest up!

I am checking in for an update from Blue. no word about her ultrasound yet?

hope everyone is doing well!

[WeHaveHope]

Lyd-I'm almost sure that Blue's u/s is scheduled for tomorrow.

[Ninde]

Hi everyone

Adkelp: thanks, I get a bit frazzled around progesterone. How are you feeling?

Maria: feeling ok?

Leora: are you back to work?

Christy: tough one with your co worker. It sounds like your hands were quite tied?

Gina: how is your son?
Nicole: good luck tomorrow x

Knyleene: fantastic number. Icsi seems to be done much more often now. Are you ok about that? Grow little embys

Afm: really sorry if i missed anyone. Had a 12 hour day and im really tired. Started on nasal spray and trying to drink loads. Catch you all tomorrow.

Blue, Praying for your ultrasound tomorrow, keep us posted on how everything goes.

Kynlee, Glad you are resting up and keeping us updated. Like I said icsi is commonly used so the eggs get the best fertilization possible. I will continue praying for you as well!

Ninde, Yeah my hands are pretty well tied, but I decided since there's nothing I can really do, not to stress over it. I'm a little lost in your cycle right now, what is your protocal and when is ER scheduled? Sending relaxation your way with no more 12 hr workloads.

Gina, wishing you and your dh the best with his retirement. Alabama would be worth considering, even have a national guard in Fort McClellan near in Anniston,Al which isn't far from Ga. When Michael and I first married in 99, we finished college at JSU and lived in Jacksonville for 5 years before relocating to Adaisville,Ga. But if you can move to Alabama that would save you $. The cost of living is so much better, you might even go ahead and check out the real estate market in comparison to Ga, you could be surprise at the differance in so many ways.

AFM: Nothing new and exciting. Got my hair cut and highlighted today, told my stylist about my hair thinning out and she thinks once I stop the meds I'm currently taking for my thyroid hormone levels it will grow back in. I'm already consious about the gray, I don't need anything else going on up there.

[kynlee]

Thanks Girls I should have my first fertility report tomorrow afternoon hoping it looks good... The Dr said that 60% of people do icsi so I am ok with it just wasnt sure if my odds are against me since it wasnt just ivf without icsi... But I am keeping the faith..

Christy you may be able to take something from the natural food store for hair loss But I am sure after your meds it will grow back thats what happened to a friend of mine...

Blue- Good luck tomorrow at u/s

hope everyone has a great night going to try to fall asleep so that I am not tired tomorrow for work.... Baby dust to all of you

[Gina1976]

Ninde- Thanks for asking. He is doing tons better with new medication. Hopefully we hear from the other Dentist tomorrow. I hope you get some much needed rest!

Kynlee- That % sounds like a great chance for you. It does seem like I hear more and more about ICSI. Can't wait to hear how things are going tomorrow!

Blue- Good luck tomorrow!

Christy- Thank you. Yeah we don't mind Alabama and we will look around Smith Station area. It's really close to the GA line and the better schools within the distance we want to be. If we get close enough I can drive him to the Columbus schools if needed. I don't want him or myself getting up too early so we'll see. Ft. Benning Ga has a huge mall as their PX like we do here, but we are staying clear from Base for shopping. Can't wait until I see a Publix! I agree, the homes there are a good size AND price. Houses in Columbus and Midland are really expensive and much smaller. Of course there is always someone with a good deal. It will be fun house hunting again. We will rent until we find an area we really like because we want to buy on land or build and stay for good or at least a long time. Can't wait!

AFM- Must sleep. Getting into a bad habit of watching TLC all night! Not good the next morning because I'll nap 3-4 hrs and the cycle never ends!! 1:34am now. Night!

[akdelp]

Ninde - you know, I think the progesterone goes in waves for me. One day I am totally fine and the next I am a weepy basket case. Today is a good day! You had a 12 hour day, if you don't mind me asking what do you do?

[LYD10]

Lyd-I'm almost sure that Blue's u/s is scheduled for tomorrow.

OMG, I thought today was Friday what a crazy week. It's not friday yet?

[blueeyedreamer]

Lyd- I wish is was Friday!

Thanks all for the well wishes. I'm really nervous.

DH is home early. Gotta get for now.

[WeHaveHope]

Good morning ladies,

Just a quick update, got up this morning and surprisingly, no bleeding. Now, of course that doesn't mean that as I'm up today that later I will have no more bleeding but it was nice not to have any this morning. Hopefuly this bleeding issue is getting resolved. I thinking may have forgotten to update all of you that my hematologist dis call me back. I don't think the medical assistant ever gave her the message the say I called but when I called the next day, she calked me back within 30 min. After speaking with her I think she is probably not going to put me back on the Lovenox. She said that I have passed the crutial weeks and that of course I can't cobtinue bleeding so she said she would speak with my OB and they would come up with a plan. I will ask my OB about the new plan when I go in on Tuesday for my 12 week u/s and follow up appointment.

Blue-keeping you in my prayers today for a positive u/s.

Akdelp-I love your ticker. Stay positive. I have a good feeling about this one. Keeping you and your LO in my prayers.

Leora-yay again for ZERO Beta. Do you have any preliminary dates yet? Love your pics by the way. They are beautiful. I'll make sure to bring lots of pics from our cruise to share a's well. I can't believe our cruise is right around tge corner March 11tg.

Ninde-how are you? I'm so excited for you, you are getting so close.

Gina-how is everything going? Any news final news yet about the retirement?

Sunshine-thanks for always checking up on me. How are you doing? I agree with you, I dint want to leave this board either. We have such wonderful ladies here.

Kerpupples-how are the twins doing. You know, I just realized that I am exactly one week ahead of you. Hope you are doing well.

Kynlee-how are you feeling today? Please keep us updated.

Lyd-how is your LO doing? Hope all is well.

[Julia73]

Hi all.

We- so sorry to hear about the bleeding and i'm sure the stress of that is GINORMOUS! Glad it has subsided and praying it stays that way!

Yay Leora! Zero beta! Very good news!

Ninde- how is it going?

Sunshine- all well with you?

Afm, suppression check on Monday. Going to Georgia this weekend to pick up a truck Dh bought. Doing 10 units of lupron daily and bcp ended2 days ago. Dh bought me an 09 cts Cadillac last week so we will be getting to know it quite well tonight on the way to Georgia!

[WeHaveHope]

Julia-yay for your new car. Are you doing a fresh or FET cycle? I'm so glad your getting so close now.

[leorira11]

Kynlee - YAY! Congrats -- 18 eggs is great. I hope the OHSS stays far away! How are you feeling? Congrats on the new puppy. Do you have other dogs?

Maria - have you spoken to your hematologist? Is the protein S thing only a first trimester concern? I would think you'd need the Lovenox until right before delivery. Can you switch to something else?

I've never cruised before and we'll probably do it again! It was AMAZING! I'm so jealous you are going on a cruise Have a great time!

akdelp - look at that ticker go! Any more bleeding? I hope not. Your u/s does seem far away -- but some doctors like to wait until they know they will definitely see something instead of doing one earlier and risking freaking people out because it's too early. Just less than 2 weeks though!

Nicole - I'm going to have to look up that new commercial for M&Ms. Today's the day... I hope for good news for you. Stay strong!

Christy - I agree that this thread can feel "too big" for new people -- I always tell them to join us! March 13th is soooo soon! You pretty much know what to expect though, right? With my new RE, the nurse took out all the books and pamphlets and demo meds, but I told her that I know how it goes! I'm an old pro at injections now Will you be doing "long Lupron" or "antagonist" cycle? Post pics (on fb, maybe) of the new haircut - I want to see!

Gina and Christy - I love home decorating! I love home decorating magazines even when I don't have any plans to do anything! My mom put an addition on her house a few years ago and I picked out everything for the inside -- the floor plan, the furniture, the color paint, the kitchen appliances -- she loves and gets tons of compliments! We are in a rental, so we can't paint the walls, but we have great furniture and "house accessories"!

Gina - 6lbs! Good for you! The food part is hard for me too -- I'm a big "nosher" - I always like to munch - while watching TV, or at work, or reading. At the new job, no one eats at their desks, which is good, because it makes me feel weird snacking at work! The rule of "only eat at the dining room table" works great for me, but I can never stick with it!

Sorry about your son's tooth! My sister needed a permament tooth pulled and she got a fake one, you'd never be able to tell.

Lydia - pregnancy brain already? You should add a ticker so we can all obsess about how far along you are -- make one on Lilypie or whatever and copy the Image URL into your signature -- if you signature is too long, try shrinking the URLs you have in it with Tiny URL

Patricia - 12 hour day? Wow. I think my 9 hour days are ridiculous! I'm back to work -- somehow it seems like I never left! I bought a "Norwegian Jade" (name of the ship we were on) mug as a souvenir and I keep it on my desk -- just to remind me of my vacation all the time! I need to print off some pictures to hang by my desk!

Julia - I hope your suppression check goes well! Congrats on the new car! Did you need one, or this just an upgrade from you old one?

AFM - remember how all the nurses/techs at the RE's said that maybe I'd get my miracle baby while we are snowed in (and I'm ovulating). ---- well, I didn't think the snow would happen, but it did! We got about an hour of flurries, but they didn't stick. Oh well.

As for our plan... I can start my antagonist cycle as soon as I get AF (on CD3)-- which should be a little less than 2 weeks. Hurrah! Usually I stim for 10-12 days and then retrieval, and hopefully a day 5 transfer -- so about 4 weeks until retrieval and 6 weeks until beta!
