espinozal23 -- I was told to take the PIO shots in the evening so that is what I do. I am not sure if you can take them in the morning as well so it is best to ask your re and find out for sure.

Hi Ladies, Happy Thursday!!! :lol: :lol:

Lady_J- I'm thinking about you today. I hope you'll get your BFP!!!!!

espinozal23- I did my PIO shots at night, they didnt care what time i was doing them just that they are around the same time everyday. However you should call your nurse and check, its better to be safe than sorry.

to_have_fun08- its great that your follies enjoyed the beer so much they decided to grow lol!!!! but thats great they now they'r all catching up :D as far as the 44mm follie ouchhhhh that must hurt lol

AFM- I'm on D3 of my Lupron (not fun lol) and have only 3 more BCPs to go and hopefully AF in 2-3 days after that and start stims around thursday- I can't wait. I know AF wont probably show her ugly face in the "perfect 2-3 days" because when we want her to come she never does lol! but I guess I just have to wait and see :P ...

1 more day and its the weekend.. wohoooooooooo :lol: :lol:

:arrow: Tabatha - I would definatly check with your RE on your lupron. Sounds like you are on the long lupron protocol and usually you don't stop lupron, they would just drop your dose to 5u instead of 10.

:arrow: espinozal23 - I think you can take PIO anytime of the day. Just try to keep it around the same time everyday. Good luck on your FET. We will be in the 2ww together. YEAH!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:arrow: Lady_J - Thinking of you today.

:arrow: SueQiwi - I am so glad that everything is going well with you and your bean. Can't wait for your U/S.

:arrow: DYS - Congrats on almost being done with BCP's. We will do the AF dance for you.


AFM - Should be triggering tonight. YEAH!!! It will be 1 year on April 1st that I started with the IVF process. In that time, this will only be my 2nd time going to ER. Today u/s showed 8 good follies. One is still pretty small so don't know if it will be big enough by ER. Another is at 22mm today so that one might be too mature. I still have my 44mm follie. It hasn't grown too much this week. The u/s tech gave me pictures of it and all my other follies today. Kind of cool. ER will be on Saturday and I am planning on a 3dt. If I get lucky maybe a 5dt but I am not going to get my hopes up about that.


Hope everyone has a good day.

Lady J - I just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you today...Good luck! :D

espinozal23 - My RE didn't give me a specific time, but he did say in the evening and around the same time each night. So, I take mine between 8 and 9 every night.

to_have_fun08 - I haven't posted in a while, but I've been reading and all I can say is...You're a super duper trooper! Woohoo, you finally get to trigger tonight and get rid of that monster follie! Good luck at ER, you deserve your BFP this time around :D

Congrats to all the other BFP's and so sorry to the BFN's. Have a good day everyone!

lady j, i'm also thinking of you today.

to have fun, good luck at ER tomorrow!! I hope that it goes well and that all the follies give you beautiful eggs!!

dys, take that awesome advice someone gave earlier in this thread and bust out the new panties. AF can't resist it. :lol:

sue, hope the time flies until your u/s!

molly and mandeekins, are you both feeling well? your BFPs give me hope!

Will someone please come over here and hold me down so that I do not POAS? I thought I'd be so strong, but I feel the temptation more as I get closer to my beta on Monday. Grrrrrrr.

Lady_J - Hope we get some good news from you today, we're all pulling for you!

to_have_fun08 - Good luck tomorrow. We ended up waiting about a year between each try, too. It's just how it worked out.

aspotofTea - I am so not the person to ask for support on the POAS thing. I have done it all three cycles, despite making strong resolutions each time not to.

In the meantime I am getting more and more nervous about my first u/s next week. Pretty much I'm getting the feeling that I'm going to be a wreck until... Well, until I actually have a baby in my arms. And I've heard the worrying just gets worse after that! :)

Well ladies.... I am baack with my results. And of course, it was a BFN :cry: . I am just so tore up even though I was expecting it. I didnt take it as hard as last time, but now I must plan for my future. I also found out, as for the 2 remaining embies only 1 made it to freeze, which also sucks. Cuz now, I am tempted to do an FET with that 1, or should I just leave it alone and wait for my next cycle which I dont plan on starting anytime soon. My DH took it hard as well, but he told me to take a break. I feel like just giving up cuz the heartbreak is just too hard. Well, I am going to take care of some issues now before I even start a new cycle... (ie... take out this impacted wisdom tooth which may be circulating bacteria inside my body, also find out about this intestine that is pushing my right ovary up, cuz I figure if my intestine is pushing my right ovary up then that maybe the reason I never got pg cuz if the tube can't catch the egg that my right ovary throws out then what good does it do and finally, I want to lose wome weight to see if that will help for next time.) So, I figure i will try again in the Fall. Meanwhile i want to enjoy my summer in the pool and dancing withought haveing to worry about injections. I have to make an appointmnet to talk to my RE to see what went wrong. I also want opinions.. there is another RE at the same clinic with more experience... do u think it will be wise to maybe change REs and try the other RE, and maybe he would catch something or have better results than this one? I dont know... I don't know how or why this is happening to me. Oh well... I guess all I can do is except the results and move forward. This sucks lemons!!!! TY ladies for all of your support and for rooting for me. I just hope next time, I can come back with a BFP. I also have my new CBFM, so in the meantime I am going to give that a try to see if I can catch ovulation since I never knew when I ovulated. Well, Good Luck to everyone that is awaiting there BFPs, I really hope that everyone gets their BFPs, cuz this IVF crap is torture.

wondercat... TY, Good Luck at your US next week. Hope u get to see your little bean. Just relax and enjoy your PG, cuz everything will be just fine.

asapotoftea.... TY, Good Luck on your Beta on Monday. please dont POAS, its madness. I think HPTs are my worst enemies right now. Just wait until after you get your BFP on Beta and then go home and do an HPT for keepsakes. Good Luck hun.

Mandeekins... TY hun. So how are you doing with your PG?

Chris... my dear chris. TY so much for all your support. U stuck with me since the beginning and now it is your time to shine and I know u will get your well awaited and deserved BFP. So u trigger tonight, I am so happy for you. It's about time that it is finally happening for you. I hope u get lots of great eggs to work with.

dys... TY. Already going to stims, how exciting. SO r u doing IVF this time or trying another naturual cycle? Whatever it is I hope u also get your BFP. Good Luck hun.

Molly... TY. So how did your US go? How are your little ones? Any symptoms yet hun?

espinoza... Good Luck with your FET. As for the POI, I dont beleive it matters unless they tell u a specific time. Just try to take them at the same time everynight.


Sue... TY. So how was your Beta today? Cant wait till u see your little bean in 2 weeks. Good Luck hun.

well ladies, I am off to go and cry my butt off again. I will check back later. TTYLL.

Lady_J - I'm soooo sorry :cry: My heart just sank as I was praying for your BFP today. I was coming back on and off to see your results. Much hugs to you, GL with you CBFM I heard they'r really good at predicting ovulation and it doesnt hurt to use it. I only used the pee sticks and it was always right on track but I know the monitor is much better and maybe you wont have to go thru ivf again :x .... I agree this ivf thing is a torture :x take as much time as you need... GL Hun and I hope you'll visit here sometime and support us like you always do ... AFM yes I'm going thru 2nd IVF cycle I have 3 more days of BCP with lupron and hopefully will get my AF 2-3 days after my last pill. This time around i enrolled with shared risk program so I'll have 3 tries fresh and 3 frozen, if none works I won't do anymore cycles for a looooooong time. I'm doing a diff protocol this time so I hope I'll see better results...

ok time tgt sleep....

ladyj- so sorry girl, this makes me down too, i needed your hope and bfp to give me hope, this sucks, now i'm also worried about my protocal my re did tell me to stop the lupron as of yesterday and take my gonal-f so i started it tonight, i hope this is right because so many people say my protocal is wrong.

Thanks again ladies for your support. I really needed that.

tabatha... Don't worry girl, dont let me take your PMA away. I guess everyone has their time to shine and this just wasnt my time again. As for the Lupron, the only thing that Lupron really does, it keeps you from ovulating. Why did they stop it completely and not just lower it? I dont know... you may want to double check with your RE's office and talk to a different nurse to have her double check. Cuz I am pretty sure the nurse is the one that told u to stop, so just double check that that is what the RE wanted you to do, just to put your mind at ease. But I can say I am pretty sure that the info is right, cuz after all, they are suppose to be the experts. You may just have a different protocol and they feel this is right for you. Good Luck hun. I hope u do get your BFP either way.

dys... I won't be going anywhere. I will stick around at least to see how my ladies are doing, after all you all were here to support me as well. Good Luck with your IVF cycle... hopefully u get your PG with this cyle and u wont have to go thru it again for a loong time. Good Luck.

Lady J: I know there's nothing I can say or do to make you feel better, but I am SO sorry. You have been such a godsend to all of us! Cry all you want, do whatever you need to in order to grieve. IVF is so :evil: :twisted: sometimes. Enjoy your summer off as much as possible, enjoy a few drinks and let your dh pamper you until you're ready to start again. You WILL get your BFP, I just know it, hun.
