Hi everyone...

Angie: There is still hope. I can only imagine how hard this must be for you. Hang in there, we are all pullin' for you!!!!

Shantala: what's this about them messing up your labs??? I would hope that they would accomodate you since it sounds like they are at least partially to blame for any delay....or did i get that wrong?

EMS: I am so sorry to hear your dad is ill, I can only imagine the additional stress that you are carrying. I am hoping he improves. As for acu...i just started last wk and although it was somewhat relaxing and temporarily i had some relief from my lupron HA, i can't say much for any significant effects yet. I am considering after my appt tomorrow, taking a break until closer to my FETs (probably March).

Jaby: ET today, right?? Hope all goes well, How many embryos did they transfer?

gbnut: I am so sorry to hear of your BFN. I know nothing i could say will really help, but know you are in my thoughts.

bec: sounds like things are moving along very well for you! ER this wkend? Maybe we will ER together!

sokru8: ER on Fri? fantastic, not long now. Nice to know i am not the only one who wasted time and energy for way too long on a neg friend. Well, no more!!!

Aunty: the list looks great! Thanks for keeping us all updated...i know it is lots of work.

US this am looked good...RE seems happy that modifying this protocol for me is having such great results. That gives me hope, but i remain only cautiously optimistic... just waiting to see really how many he is able to retrieve. In tomorrow again for US/BW. ER now looking like sat or sun.

[mom20]

[shantala]

oh my god - this board never stops to amaze me at how fast things are moving!!

forgot to say thanks in my earlier post for everyone's well wishes. erm...so, thanks!!

jaby - how did et go?? cant wait to hear it's all gone smoothly...

tc - glad to hear your sono went ok but not so glad about the after bit! glad you got yourself sorted though! hugs for the pain!

sassy - i'm so sorry to hear about your so called friend. i can sympathise with you more than you can imagine. it's suprising how stupid people can be!! so yes, sometimes, this really sucks!! i like the idea of bec's shit shield yet again and think you should buy one! i also think what you said earlier (Its that i feel as a result of our IF i am distanced and isolated from people that i would like to feel close to) is so spot on!! its hard but just remember we are all here any time!! yes, they did get it wrong and put us behind but i dont really wanna make a fuss as its my first cycle and i want them to be as nice as possible to me!! you know what i mean? and jan isnt that far...

welsh - sorry your job isnt great and your boss is a knob. excuse my language but its terrible when you cant have your phone on when you have children. your posts do make me laugh though!!

vickie - so excited you can start on the 14th!! woohoo!!

angie - dont give up hope honey like i've said above! its a pain that you cant get through to the counsellor. any luck with that yet? you're right - it will give me a chance to get xmas and nye out of the way and then start.

nimble - i love the "new year, new start, new baby" motto. might put that under my name!! how you doing? weather is soooooooo cold!!

mom - dont give up with your job situation! the right thing will come along although i know how frustrating it is when you need a job! you'll be fine though!! thinking of you! xx

carolyn - hope you're ok and keep up the good work!!! hugs!

haylie - thanks for the wellwishes for friday. you and tc have the funniest conversations about coming back as men!! haha...not sure i can make my mind up!

son - things are looking for friday so thats smashing!! have you had your test results back yet??

as for me - forgot to say that when DH was about to go into the room where he gives his sperm (say no more) the embryologist invited me to go in there with him! eeerrr, NO THANK YOU!! i quickly offered to fill in all the paperwork in the meantim! so that was quite funny!

thats it for now. i'm on evening duty on my own so thought i would catch up. sorry about my long post but thats meeeeee!!

Sigh.... Well the clinic called and they have moved my e/c to Saturday Dec 9th. Its a little frustrating because of course I want to move forward but my body is just not ready yet. Unfortunetly my 2ww will be extended because the pregnancy test would be on Dec 25th. Sorry I seem whiny I guess I am just a little tired
Have a Great Evening

[Angie65]

Hi ladies - Angie here full steam ahead on the nutty train

Well I did get through to the counsellor eventually yesterday and she was lovely. She told me as it was a lovely evening, go for a "meditative walk and look at things". So off I went, round the streets, looking at trees, birds, counting cats I saw (5) dogs (also 5), babies ! (3- not many as probably their bath time!) and Christmas wreaths on doors (lots) It did help me relax I guess, although the mind kep wandering a bit too much on you know what.

Still spotting slightly (36 hours now) but hasn't turned in to full AF and no more bright red/ no cramps. Pessaries seem to be holding it at bay - I think still some hope....?

Thanks so much for all the messages. It was wonderful to wake up and see them this morning.

[tcbalgord]

Angie, That walk sounds wonderful, I pictured everything and it helped me to relax! Thanks! I am so glad that you have stopped with the red spotting. I think that you shouldn't worry, and just continue to meditate and have lots of PMA.

Well ladies, my DH went back to the Dr today and he is off of work til at least Monday. He has something wrong with him from the aspiration, and he won't go into details cuz he's slightly embarassed.
I am doing a little better, still cramping alot and I can't walk upright, but I am a tough one and I refuse to give in!

I hope that all of you have a lovely night! Aunty, the board looks marvelous!

[ssalgado]

hello ladies!!

I need some advice and as well as support, since this past sat my dad it's been in the hospital he is been sick for almost 12 yrs now with brain atrophy, he has lost 90% of his body functions, this time he does have a very major serious ammonia and his body is not responding, The dr's told me today that his chance of survival are very minimal, I am the decision maker and legal guardian, we are going thru a lot right now even that we knew that something like this eventually were going to happen sooner thatn later but living the situation it is not easy.

My concern is that i am schedul to have my only frozen embryo transfer on Monday and tomorrow i willhave my baseline/ ultrasound to see the lining and start progesterone as well , i am concern that the stress will interfer with the transfer or the success of pregnancy.

please any advice it will be very appreciate it.
thanks

[hopeful-in-LV]

Hi everyone!

I'm good to go for ER tomorrow! I had my trigger shot last night. This time my RE had me do a shot of Lupron with my HCG shot. Supposedly since I have lots of follies, the Lupron should help prevent OHSS. Boy that one stings!! is it supposed to? I never hear anyone complain about Lupron. But, man I was punching pillows, screaming and throwing a fit! Maybe we hit a nerve or something. Anyway we have tons of follies this time, I think 21. I think i counted 3 or 4 were too small, around 10 to 12mm on monday, but who knows maybe they caught up. I do have a few very juicy ones in the 20-23mm range, hopefully those ones have my best eggs.

Can't wait to be done with meds. I had an emotional breakdown yesterday. DH can get pissy and that dosn't sit well with me when I'm pumped up with hormones. My poor neighbor came by to give me something and I answered to door bawling so hard, you would of thought someone died. I think I scared her. She knows about our IVF cycles so she was saying nice things like "if you ever need to talk, call me...." and "I know it's hard, I wish I could do something for you.." and that just made me cry harder.

SSalgado, I'm so sorry about your dad. That's a though thing to deal with. It's a tough decision whether to go through ET at this time. I can tell you that there have been others in these forums that have gone through a similar situation and went through ET and got a BFP. It depends on if you feel strong enough to go through with it. If you can handle some stress and keep up a strong PMA, then I think you would be fine with ET now.

Sorry, I have not caught up with the thread yet. I'll try to do some personals later. Hope everyone is doing well. I'll let you know how ER goes tomorrow.

[AuntyPebbles]

Evening Lady's,
