[leorira11]

Lauren - I get awful awful reactions to the Cetrotide (and Ganirelix as well), but I was told that's normal. Sorry!

AFM - well, ER went well and we got 11 eggs.... but only 2 fertilized. We don't know why. I go for transfer tomorrow (day 3) assuming at least one is still developing. I'm so tempted to transfer two, but I know I can't do twins again. We'll see. I'll update tomorrow after (fingers crossed!) transfer

[Tawny]

Hi ladies!!!
I'm still hereish I've just been popping in and out reading posts. I had ER last monday the 26th completly different experiance then the last ER in Aug. I was not sore at all I did go back to work on Tues but left early and basically only cause I didn't want to be there. They got 13 eggs they were able to fertalize 10, 8 made it. We did a 5 day transfer on Saturday with 2 eggs that they said were perfect. I didn't quite understand all the lingo but I got that they were a grade 4 (the best) and all cells looked great and outside shell was even hatching. They were able to freeze 3 eggs just like the ones they put in but needed to watch the other 3 to see if they would develope more. They called on Sunday and weren't able to freeze those 3 they didn't develope well enough. This freezing is all new to me but pretty interesting.
My blood test is Tuesday which I'm afraid is a little early. I didn't go to work mon or tues and I wish I didn't go back yesturday it's been a stressful 2 days at work. I want to stess that I HATE these supositories they are driving me nuts!!! I am having little sharp pinches in the very low part of my stomach but they come and go. I've just been trying to keep calm lay low and drink plenty of water and gatorade.

Lauren- my Monopur and Brovel shots gave me little red itchy blotches this time around I just had to try to go around my belly button and try not to hit the same spot to make it any worse. Doc said it's a local alegetic reaction but the meds still work. I was so supprised at how fast my follies doubled I was concerned like you this round but they got 13 eggs I even had 4 folies that ruptured.

Leirira- I didn't realize you were so far in the cycle. I hope everything goes ok this time.

[nwquiz]

Leora all the best this cycle. Your rainbow baby is on the way. remember positive attitude all the way(easier said than done). maybe have davids sperm retested for some answers as to the fertilization rate.
Tawny fingers crossed for you to. are you going to test early? am a pos pusher
christy and all the other ladies where are you all hidding?

[Lauren]

HI ladies:)

Leoria-Thanks for the info abt the shots. I get so red, itchy and a bump. I didnt realize you were doing ER. Please update us today regarding ur ET. Stay positive,ONLY TAKES ONE Wishing you all the best!

Tawny-CONGRATS on great embabies:) Will you POAS? Im the worst with that LOL..praying they stick!!

AFM-I TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!!! OMG..ER tomorrow am. SO NERVOUS. They said all my 14mm will grow. Im skeptical. Girls pray for me please I need a few good eggs!

[Sunshine1576]

Lauren- I'm praying you get lots of eggies, wishing you an excellent report!

nwquiz- I've been working craZy hours, and finding every distraction possible to get through this day. I hope all is well with everyone else.

Leora- Several buddies have joined on IVF Gals and for a few weeks it was slow over here, but utimately this board will continue to stay alive. This is where it all started so we shouldn't stop altogether posting over here. Don't get me wrong I do like the secret fb group, it's fun seeing old buddies and getting to know their real names and seeing pictures but it's gotten soooooo big over there. So let's contiune to cheer on the newbies and just be for each other when one of us needs the most support. I really hope you bring us a BFP this cycle, did you end up cancelling the trip?

Maria- Good chating with you last night, I will keep your precious furbaby, Midnight in my prayers. I love lab and golden retrievers, they are so smart. Vegas likes to jump up and open the neighbor's mailboxes lol. I'm glad your mom is there to help out with the girls, it must be hard right now I know you're really missing the girls. I had a coworker who also had to adjust with being away from her little one being at the daycare but like all things it took some time, and you will too. The good thing with your girls is you know they are less likely to get sick being around other kiddos at the daycare and you won't have to call into work when they get an ear infection, they will be in the best hands, but I cannot blame you for wanting to spend every moment with those cutie-pies. Yet sometimes we have to admit a break away is good for their mama's state of mind too. lol

WhimsyDae- Welcome to our forum. The girls will tell you I'm usually posting over here quite often but lately I've been distracted. It's tough getting through the holidays wishing every year something good would happen. Our due date would had been 12.7.10 but I try not to dwell on the bad things happening because deep down we know God has a way of making this all work out. With an exception of one thing, we have so much to be thankful for but yet it's hard not to be fixated. I wanted to tell you Kynlee and I have quite often posted alot of verses back in forth, yet alot of the time we just end up chatting over the phone.We haven't figured out a way to set up a spiritual website but I will send you ladies my cell phone number and email address to message me anytime if that would be ok?

Tawny- Oh my how time flies, I do remember you talking about cycling around the holidays. Congratulations on being PUPO!

HopeThisWorks- Enjoy your holidays with your little one, I know this will be a memorable Christmas.

AFM: Trying to motivate myself to clean but not getting very far today.

[Lauren]

ok im nervous E2 level was 1067..that means I only have a few eggs?

[Lauren]

christy-its FREEZING here its a stay in bed kinda day LOL thanks for your support:)

[Sunshine1576]

Lauren- I'm not sure so don't quote me but I thought for every egg, the E2 is around 200 so this would mean you have at least 10 to work with? But how did you count on the ultrasound that was 15mm or better (matured ones)? I still think you have alot to work with and I will be praying and checking in with you tomorrow. I know it's nerve racking and exciting all at the same time. I'm just glad the docotr puts us to sleep for the procedure, I wish we could sleep through the entire 2ww and not deal with all the waiting, but I'm here as always cheering you on. X

AFM: The Christmas program was beautiful tonight, but I've been dealing with anxiety so much here lately. It's hard accepting that Michael has a job interview up in Virginia and Alabama this coming week. I feel so lost at times, and I try to find peace within I really do but it's hard not to worry. Tonight at the Christmas musical I saw one my former volleyball players up on the stage leading a chorus in her gorgeous silver sparkly gown. My neighbor whispered over to me isn't she beautiful at 15 weeks along. I said what? She goes you didn't know, and she went on and told me yeah she's due in May, I thought wow is everyone around me pregnant except me?? Today I saw that Lady Antebellum had some news to share that the lead singer is expecting. I turned around and googled famous acters/singers who went through IVF and I came to realize not everyone has it easy. Fortunately we are the lucky ones who get a chance to try treatment, deep down I know it's not easy either way. Honestly it makes me mad that we are in this situation in the first place. But the real question is what are we going to do about it? Yes it's going to take 8 years to pay this loan back but I'll feel it was definately worth every cent the moment we bring home our baby. X

[Lauren]

hey girls-well I only gogt 2 eggs! My RE said to be positive...its quality not quntity and it only take one! My DH told me the same. He said "Babe dont sweat this, you did all you could do and its in gods hands now, we will get a baby one way or another" So now we wait to hear if they fertilized...tomorrow am!

Christy-I know the feeling, everyone around you seems to turn up pregnant when your trying. Keep the faith and remember 2013 is our year to bring home our babies:)

Leoria-How are you? How did ET go?

_also he told me i had a ton of follies but they stopped growing

[Sunshine1576]

Lauren- This outcome is certainly not what we expected with the new doctor. I am so sorry but how do follicles simply stop growing? I know you must feel uncertain right now, however regardless we must now place all our hope and prayers on the two embryos and focus all our energy on them growing and developing so you can bring them home. P.S. you have the best husband he's so loving and supportive I love his attitude! Please keep updating us, I will check in on you tomorow night. X

[Lauren]

morning!

Christy-thanks:) My nurse told me to stop being negative nancy and be positive pamela..I was laughing so hard! It was a much more pleasant experience at this RE. The doc was so positive and gave me hope:) Also my RE has been doing a study about Lupron 2o units SQ 3d post transfer...apparenly helps with imlantation? IDK hes been doing it since jan and pregnancy rates have increasd at there office. Have you ever heard of that??

WAITING THE CALL...........Please embabies be ok!!!! I want to head to church but im hoping they call me soon:)

[Sunshine1576]

Lauren- I came over here especially to check on you, please know I am thinking of you. How did everything go with the embryologist?

[Lauren]

hey! They said both were mature but with ICSI only one fertilized. So I should be getting a call any min this morning as an update on how its progressing and ET details for tomorrow. Started my Progesterone supp. Will update you!

[Tawny]

Oy I don't know my password this this so all I have been able to do is read the postings this weekend.

Lauren- I hope you get a good call today. I hope this one is a good one for you.

AFM- I hate pee sticks I will not be POASing. I'll wait till blood work tomorrow. I'm really nervouse though I had really bad pains yesturday not like AF cramping but like alot of pinching. Then as I was baking at like 11 last night I started feeling really queezy and light headed. I just gave up and went to bed. I feel fine today though no pinching. I want my own personal ultra sound machine so I can see whats going on in there. DH asked yesturday if I feel any different. Besides the pinching no but am I suppose to feel different? He's been through this before with someone else but it was a misscarage I would think maybe he might know but I'd rather not talk to him about that hole situation.

[Pocos]

Hello Ladies, sorry I have been MIA. I hope everybody is doing well.

After my BFN I decided to take a break. I have a phone consultation with CCRM in Jan and will see if its a good idea to go to Colorado.

Lauren and Tawny - I hope you guys get your BFPs! When are your betas?
