JAN/FEB/MAR 2009 Ladies!!! :arrow:

[CAFirstInvitro]

Hi all so I got my call yesterday morning about my embryos. I was so excited my DH and I went and celebrated. We had a fabulous lunch with some friends and bought a bed We got the Vera Wang latex bed. It was soo comfy. I have a really bad back from an accident several years ago. My car rolled over. I'm still paying the price Anyhow so the lady called and out of my 8 I have 1-2cell, 1-4cell, 1-5cell, 1-6cell, 4-7cell (2 grade 1 and 2 grade 2) I think that sounded really good from what I've researched. Can you all let me know. I've heard where they transfer 6-cell and have successfull pregnancy so I just wanted atleast 6-cells. They still have more time to divide since my transfer isn't until Monday. Which is a 5dt If anyone knows anything about grading or cells please let me know, thank you.

Nursegator: Thank you I should focus on what we have which when I heard from the embryologist I was just freaking out excited how my embies were doing Also Congrats on your transfer and your Blasts!!!

to_have_fun: Thank you It didn't seem fertliziation was a big problem for my eggs that were just really sticky which was abnormal. Well they've made it this far so maybe all my praying is working

Espinozal: I have the Vivel patches too and i was out of it when my DH got instructions, but he puts them on my back and they stick really good. He has trouble takeing them off. I've already gone through egg retreival so i wonder why i am on the vivel patches? If anyone knows please let me know?

Hey ladies! Sorry I have been MIA!! I am currently taking BCP and start Lupron on Tuesday. We should have our FET the week of April 6th. I hope I get my BFP then. I hope you are all doing well.

[Lady_J]

Hello Ladies.... It's me. How was everyone's weekend??? I was able to go to my SIL Bday party yesterday since I am having a 5dt tomorrow. I thought I was going to have to miss it if I was doing a 3dt. Anyway, I ate alot of Tamales...yummy, they were so good. Also, i went with DH and DD to Magic Photos to take family pics. They came out really really nice, but I was kind of hoping I could wait till my swelling goes down, cuz I sure did look somewhat PG in the pics... I tried to suck my gut in but turns out I couldnt, I was sore I told my DH, that would be funny if the photographer tells him to hold my belly, thinking I was PG. That would have been embarrasing. Anyhow, they did turn out really nice. Today, I am just going to cook dinner for my family for tomorrow, and after I am going to relax and look forward till tomorrow. I cant wait. My DH is showing excitment now. He keeps wishing us alot of luck. Well, here go my personals, and this may be a long one.....

Chris... How are you doing with stims? Have u gone for an US yet?

Tabatha.... Welcome. I hope that you will find us supportive thru this journey, and I hope you get your BFP at the end of this crazy road. Good Luck.

nursegator... Congrats on your ET. Yeah, u r offically PUPO. I am sending u lots of sticky baby vibes and hopes that both embies stick. Good Luck hun, now just relax.

Anxious... I will be joining u tomorrow in this crzy 2WW. Do whatever u can to get your mind off of it, cuz u r in the ride of your life. Good Luck Hun!!!

Espinoza... I had to start the vivell Patches after my ET on the first cycle. I had to put 2 and my RE told me that I had to place them on my abdomen. I had to change them every 3 days. This cycle they changed me to Estrogen Injections, cuz according to my RE, my estrogen count was getting low towards the end and that could have played a part for implantation. So defo talk to your RE... they probably want them near the abdomen so that it can be closer to uterus, I would think. Good luck!!

CAfirstinvitro... Congrats on your embies. They r looking great. Good Luck tomorrow at your ET. How many do u plan on putting back?

Kcraven... glad to hear from you. Congrats on preparing for FET. Hopefully this will bring your BFP. Keep us posted. Good Luck.

I can't even believe it! I am pregnant!!!! I finally got my BFP! They just called with my beta: 151. I totally freaked out on the phone--shaking and crying! Good thing DH was here to finish the call!

I never thought this day would come and I am just shocked and thrilled. I know I'm not out of the woods yet--so trying to stay calm. but so happy!

[to_have_fun08]

SUEQIWI - CONGRATS ON YOUR BFP!!! That is AWESOME, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

[Lady_J]

Sue.... Congrats girl, u did it. Now relax and enjoy.

[tabatha1975]

what kind of reactions have you all experienced with lupron, just started yesterday, getting redness, hive look at site? any other reactions?

[Rosario]

Lady_J Thank you so much for that post. It really did make me think about what's going on with DH and I. Although I haven't heard much after, what bothers me is that he was never honest about what was going on. I do love him though and I know life works in mysterious ways. Only God knows why this is happening.
SueQiwi Congrats... I am so happy for you!!!!!!!
to_have_fun08 We have been thru a lot cycling and I want to thank you for the advices you are always giving me. Hope this cycle is yours all the way.
CT_Michele Thank you for the advice. I know that I can always count on you guys for a little vent or two.

As for me things are a little better. I am not sure if its still my hormones all over the place. Sometimes I do feel like i overreact. I am leaving my life to destiny and God. If its meant to be to be with DH, I am sure things will work out. I just think in order for things to work out better maybe I need to seek help. Infertility is really affecting my life and maybe speaking my mind about that and my personal issues will make me a better wife, friend and daughter.

I will be going to my b/w (genetic testing) and endometrial biopsy tomorrow. Hopefully they will have the results before my next menses so we can get this show on the road.

[to_have_fun08]

Rosario - I think you are on the right track. Right now is not the best time to make any decisions with the hormones being out of wack. Give it a little time and seek some help, there is no reason to jump to any decisions right now. Good luck on your testing.

tabatha1975 - I would talk to your RE about the lupron. Sounds like your body doesn't like it very much and possibly having a allergic reaction. Usually the only complaints I hear about ladies on lupron are headaches. There is one lady that did have severe reactions, got hive and had to go to the ER. They ended up taking her off of the Lupron.


Lady_J - Good luck on your transfer.

AFM - I go in for u/s and b/w in a few hours. Get to see how many follies I have or don't have. I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything looks good. My E2 levels went from a 77 to 149 after 3 days of stims. The RE dropped my Follistim from 225u to 150u on Saturday.

[CT_Michele]

Lady J- I just want to say it was so nice of you to share such a personal story to try and help someone else out. No one here will judge you, that is not what we are here to do. Every relationship is different and has their own circumstances surrounding them. I was engaged to someone for 4 years and it was a horrible relationship of emotional abuse, I would sleep by myself almost everynight because he wanted to hang out with his friends, he had some internet/computer addictions that drove me crazy and it continued for years. At one point I cheated on him with an ex, and I felt horrible afterwards, but I knew then that our relationship was done. When I tried to break it off with him, he was confused and didn;t even realize we had problems (even though I had been vocalizing them for years). My confession of infedeilty was the only thing that got me out, he was so upset and hurt, and I still feel badly that I went about it the wrong way since I was young at the time, but I also think about where I would be if that had never happened. Would I still be unhappy and in that same miserable relationship? Maybe. Things all happen for a reason, and with you, maybe it happened so you husband and you could realize what you have together is truly special and worth fighting for. I am glad you guys worked it out and are happier than ever. Thank you again for sharing your story.

[CT_Michele]

And a couple other personals-

Rosario- I am glad you are feeling a bit better. Hormones can make us nutty at this time, and you are right, whatever is supposed to happen will in due time.

Sue- Congrats on your bfp!

Kcraven- good luck on your upcoming FET. I am sure you will stick around here, but feel free to join us on the march.april thread too. You will see a bunch of familiar faces...

CA- Sounds like a good fert report, good luck on ET, when is it?

afm- I think I told you ladies, I have my polyp removal surgery scheduled for 3/12. I go for pre-op consult with them on wednesday, so I should have more details concerning it then. Not much else going on, just anxious to get started. My little Ella is wonderful and I can't wait to give her a sibling to play with. I have a snow day today, no tutoring, Yay! We are getting dumped with close to a foot of snow, and I thought winter was about over...guess I was wrong.

Talk to you all soon.

I had the same reaction to the lupron. It would happen everytime. Re said it was fine and it was just an allergic reaction. I did the same thing when I took my trigger shot but it lasted a few days instead of a few hours.

[CAFirstInvitro]

Ct michelle: I have transfer this morning I am so excited. Lady j is today also So pray for us
