Kas & Mrscutter - Thanks for checking up on me. I have been kind of down and didn't want bring everyone down on the board. I am better for now. It is so great having so much support on this board. As far me I have an appointment in a couple of hours. Another b/w and u/s, I am not getting my hopes up that things will change this week. Hopefully by next week I will have good news.

Kas - I so wish I could help you with your meds. I only have 1 vial left from my last cycle and if I ever make it to stims I have to order some more for this cycle. It so sucks that not every state has a mandate to cover IVF. Heck if I knew for sure that my cycle would be canceled then I would order my menopure with my insurance discount and sell them to you for cheap. I know that is a little illegal but heck we need to take desperate measures to make sure all of us get BFP's.

Mrscutter - How is the 2ww going? Are you going to POAS?

So I am really hung over today. Yes, I am too old to go drinking on a work night. Well any night for that. My friend that is doing IUI's got her BFN again so she was destined to get drunk last night and of course I just can't watch someone drink. Oh well I will live through it, probably won't get much done at work.

Hope everyone else is good. I will do more personals later.

NY4thtry, I am so sorry to hear your news. I can understand your frustration and am disappointed and sad for you. I'm still saying prayers for you and all of the girls on this board.

Chris, I agree with some of the others who noticed that you are always so thoughtful and on top of all of our latest news. What's new with you? Weren't you going to the doctor today?

Waiting for 4, I was also worried about my 2nd beta. My RE just reassured me that as long as it was doubled then things were good. I'm sure your 165 is fine. Will you get a 3rd beta?

Kas, sorry you are feeling down and I've probably said before on this board, but I can relate to the monetary stresses of everything. We've been at this for over 3 years and I've been going strong on the injectables for most of that time since I don't ovulate on my own and don't respond to Clomid or Femara. Needless to say, as we all know those meds aren't cheap and there were months I may as well have thrown a few thousand dollars down the toilet. But somehow we always found a way to fund the next cycle. I think for DH and I, it was a matter of how far we were willing to go to keep trying. If this cycle of IVF didn't work, I think we would have looked into the shared risk program which costs more but allows for more tries. I hope you find a way to make it work and can sympathize with your difficult decision.

Rosario, good luck on Saturday. You must be getting excited now that you have a timeframe of Dec/Jan for your transfer. With the holidays it should fly by!

Havbaby, so your ER is this Saturday? That's good news! Sorry, I'm not familiar with Endometrin but if it's similar to progesterone suppositories, then there will be some icky discharge. I forgot how lovely panty liners are! Good luck to you this weekend!

Melo, sorry you are down and you have every right to be mad and frustrated. Like I told Kas, I hope you will find the means to try again if you want. I don't understand why more insurance companies don't cover meds and treatments since this is not anything that we can help.

[waiting for 4]

wonderce- I won't be getting another beta, just my first US in 2 weeks... I already told my DH that I would do a HPT halfway just to make sure its still there- I dont think I could survive another 2WW

I had u/s this morning and it always seems like every step of this process is torture for me. Well, I have 4 follies, but one is at 17mm and the other 3 are only at 12 and 13. So I am still at risk of cancellation, but I will know for sure at u/s tomorrow. I'm trying to keep my head up and hope that the 3 will catch up, but it's hard.

Chris - good luck today...we're all really hoping your levels are good so you can get started.

Kas - I can only imagine your frustration. I wish I could help you out. I don't even know what menepur is for.

Trying to keep up my pma..........

NY4thtry - So sorry to hear the news!! Take care of yourself....

havbaby1627 - I am on endometrin...and yes, I have had some not so wonderful discharges as well. Keep the panty liners handy!

Hello ladies,
I havent posted in a while but I am reading all of your posts everyday. I am trying to wean myself off of this site because I am so consumed by the thought of this process. At first when I wasnt paying attention to every detail it was going by really fast. now it is painstakenly slow.
This board has really really been popping. At one point we had a BFP back to back. Congratulations ladies! I am so proud of you all. To all with a BFN, I cant say i know how you must feel, because this is my first IVF try, but you are in my prayers.

Good luck to everyone else! Much love......

Not good news, my follicle is huge, I didn't even ask what the size was but defiantly bigger then last week and then it was 19mm. So E2 levels are probably higher though I haven't gotten the results of my blood work. So it will be at least 1 more week on Lupron. I am thinking 2 if they keep my cycle going. Oh well no surprise, I figured i wouldn't get good news. It is great not to get my hopes up.

Gina - Don't you have your beta today? Wishing you the best of luck on a really good number. I am sure you will since you had a positive on HPT.

Jill - Why can't anything for us gals go easy? i am screaming at your follies to grow. Keeping my fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

Havbaby - Yes, this board is hard to keep up. I know there are lots of gals that I forget about. GL on ER on Saturday, another step down. Before you know it you will be getting your BFP. I have never taken Endometrin so I can't help you much on that. Though, when my 1st cycle was turned into and IUI I was given the choice of PIO or suppositories. My nurse did warn that if I took the suppositories that I should use pantie liners and not the scented kind.

Melo_P - It is frustrating and you have every right to be mad. I was in such a low place after my last BFN. I didn't think I would ever be the same old me again. Little by little, I got back to my starting PMA. It is really hard, you still have hope with your frozen guy. There is no reason why a FET wouldn't bring you a BFP. Some RE's claim that FET's are better so don't give up.

Rosario - So glad that everything is looking good for you. Good luck with your b/w on Saturday.


Hope everyone has a good day. Friday is almost here and then next week will be a short week for everyone is the states. Next week I will have a 4 day weekend and then I get jury duty. Yeah what fun.

Hi all,
Just a quick note to let you know that my fighting little embryo made it through the night and we did our frozen embryo transfer this morning. So I'm officially PUPO and I'm going to try to enjoy every minute of it

I'll try to post personals later, thanks for everyone's support on here and take care.
