Lisa – Welcome to the Nov girls thread! 6dp3dt is way too early for hpt, but the good news is that you know the hcg shot has cleared your system….so when you get the bfp in a few more days, you’ll know it’s real! You probably know this, but the embryo doesn’t implant until 7-10 days post-ER, which is 4-7 dp3dt. Then, it takes a few more days for the hcg to reach a level that an hpt can even read, so you have some time left….try to be patient (impossible I know!) Most people I’ve seen who get the positive hpt before the blood test are just a day or two in advance. Sounds like your egg quality was great too so you have a lot of reasons to think positively. Best of luck to you on Tuesday! What island are you on in Hawaii?

Mia – So glad you get to start stims today! Image I wish you everything positive in this cycle – this will be your time! And, enjoy your acupuncture. I can't believe how much better I felt, overall, this cycle with the acupuncture as opposed to my prior cycles. Image

Cheeky – I’m keeping everything crossed for you that you have a good pick up in your follicle size over the weekend! And thanks for your positive thoughts for me! Here’s your ‘grow follies grow’ dance! Image

Vicky – I was told ‘no sex’ after bfp until after first good scan. Image Try to be patient!

Nictor – I’m still thinking about you and hope you’re feeling better....hugs to you...Image

Hope everyone else is well! Take care,

- SuzhanImage

Cheekymonkey -It is def not over yet, I know I am probably peeing you off with my sickening PMA, but seriously I genuinelly do believe that we manifest things from our attitude and thought process, I see it every day in my line of work, I really am not kidding! I said I would get 22 eggs to the clinic and they practically laughed it off! and I did!!! Please be positive...those follies will grow and all will be fine..... :wink: You have plenty of time, just hang on in there..... xxxxxxxxxx

ss - I haven't had any tests apart from the wee tests! they just do ultrasound then release me to the NHS, which I am dreading as my surgery are so incompetent,I am afraid I have lost a lot of faith in GP practices and will do it as much on my own as possible...I have to have crinone pessaries for a fortnight longer and cyclogest up until 3 months! so lucky you! I still have to take the steroids for another week or so while I am being weened off them, I am not happy about it though as their use in IVF is still unlicensed and this is such a crucial stage, but due to my high Tumour Necrosis Factor I am too scared to stop taking them!

Sita - Welcome! and GOOD LUCK X

Babbie dust to you all xx

Wow, ladies! I hibernated (to eat turkey, of course) for 48 hours, and 4 pages went by!!! glad there is so much activity.

All these BFP'ers. Fantastic!! Nice, strong list going. Congrats to all of youImage

For the 2ww'ers, i'm feelin' for you. hang in there!

Mia: So glad you were able to start and get meds. Very happy we were both able to dive right back in...nice to have you stimming again w/me. (I will be checking out all the women in the waiting room a little closer now :wink: ).

SarahV: i am in a similar boat...dh won't adopt, so this is our only chance. How do you respond when people ask why you don't adopt? I haven't found a good response. I just don't have it in me to say that I don't want to adopt (because I would in a heartbeat). But feel like maybe i would be hanging him out to dry if i tell them the truth. Any input? I agree w/ you, my dh is wonderful, and they can't be entirely perfect, now can they?!!!

Cheeky: so hoping for better us on Mon for you. A "grow follies, grow" dance, i believe is in order. Comin' your way.

Lisa: welcome to the board. you will find the girls here very helpful and supportive. Everything crossed for you!

So, never thought i would be TRULY happy to see AF ! but i am!Image I went off my 2ww hormones on Wed, and I was anxious that my body might not respond they way i want (wherever would i get that idea???). But here she is. SOOO, that means lupron tomorrow...yipeee! (another sick note: excited to start injections...hmmm).

As for me, maaaaannn, am i moody. poor DH (and in that case my family, the retail clerks that were unfortunate enough to have crossed my path, and all the drivers i have cut off or flipped off in the last 24 hrs ).

All of you are in my thoughts in prayers...

Angelica and Holly- my birthday is on 12 December and I think my scan is that week too. It will make the most perfect birthday pressie!!!! Just need to get through the next few blood tests. I feel that once I see a trend of numbers rising I will have more confidence that my body is responding and doing what it should.

Sassynlv- Isnt it funny how exciting it is to see AF - congrats with the new round of needles! I dont get asked too often about adoption and when I have it has been close friends who I feel comfortable about telling the truth too. I dont feel as though I am hanging him out to dry- more because although I respect it- I dont understand it and therefore cant justify it to anyone. In NZ (where we are from) it is also a lot harder to adopt (most children get placed with extended family) and the most common is to adopt a little girl from China, which is still a very large, timeconsuming and expensive option. The sheer complexity means people do not suggest it as often. I find any question about children difficult- partly because I am worried I will snap their heads off or burst into tears. I hate having to say our diplomatic and well worn "we are working on it" response.

Lisa - welcome - and good luck with the wait

Cheeky- hold on to that hope girl! At least your hormone levels are stable- that is positive - and although those follies arent big- at least they are there. Dont give up on yourself! I am doing an extra long follie dance for you...

jsm5702 - I too held off the HPTs it sent me crazy in the process. Sore boobs are a good sign though. I have squeezed mine no less that 100 times a day trying to judge whether they are bigger - they are sore- but I think that is becasue they are now so bruised. Good luck on Monday !

Okay, I still have basically 3 days until test day and I'm going crazy! I'm also really bloated and gassy (sorry if TMI) Did anyone else have this while in 2ww while on POI? Is it normal? (It sure is annoying!!!!!!)

Congrats to all the BFPS while I was off pigging out on turkey! (I hope I do get a BFP on Tuesday so that I can blame my out of control holiday eating on the baby :lol: --not that that's the only reason!)

Hi everyone, I got my scan done today. I have 18 antrals (sp?) 5 more than last cycle! :D Last time I started with 13 antrals and from those we got 11 eggs. I'm hoping we get a good percentage of eggs again this time. I 'd like to have enough embies for 3 or more FETs. I had a small cyst, but the sonologist (is that what they're called?) said not to worry, it's so small that it probably won't be making estrogen and won't affect my start. And she was right, I am good to go! I am starting a day late because of my screw up wednesday. I hope my follies will co-operate and grow nice and big quickly.

I almost didn't get my meds this morning. Fed Ex came while DH was still in bed. He didn't hear the doorbell. Our dogs barking woke him and he ran to the door, when he opened the door the truck was turning the corner. DH chased the truck for a block in his underwear! :shock: Luckily the driver stopped and DH got the package. I wonder if the neighbors saw DH in his undies chasing the truck. :lol: Doesn't matter I guess. I'd be screwed again if I didn't get my meds today. Several weird things have happend that would of prevented me from starting this cycle. Are these strange signs that this cycle is not right for us? :?

My mom called me when I was on the way to my baseline. She said my aunt is willing to help to try to arrange an adoption for us. My aunt owns some land in the Philippines. There is a family (distant relatives) that she allows to live there rent free. They are so poor, the children don't even have underwear. They just had a baby boy that is about a month old now and they have 7 other kids. My uncle in PI is going to talk to the family to see what they think. Ultimately it is up to the parents.

Mia- LOL at the thought of your DH running down the road. Love it- think it is an excellent sign for this cycle. Congrats on your baseline sign - sounds very positive. Wow the adoption plan seems to be moving ahead- how exciting. It might be nice to have something other than the meds and tests to think about. Thinking of you.

Isn't that halarious! I bet the Fed EX guy waits a little longer from now on so he doesn't get crazy men in undies chasing him down the street anymore. :lol:

sarahv: I appreciate your response, and feel similarly. I respect his choice not to adopt, and have never tried to "convince" him otherwise...i think it would be wasted energy and he has a right to his opinion. Like you, though i don't feel similarly... and don't feel like i should be lying about it. Anyway, appreciate your input as i have no one in the same situation to bounce this off of.

meg12: also was very gassy for the first couple days after ET, then it faded. so it may be a good sign if you are still bloated/gassy. Good luck!!!

Mia: another great IVF story for the memory book! You painted quite a picture! I think the fact that there are so many things that COULD have prevented you from starting again, but DIDN'T might be a good sign :wink: . Thanks for the updated list... tough to keep track of everyone w/o it! The adoption thing is very interesting. Maybe you'll adopt AND have one of your own in the same year :D . Instant family!

I guess you're right... I really could have missed starting again, but here I am.
I would love to adopt. I'm just not sure how the whole legal thing is going to work. I know I'll have to get a lawyer and there's a whole emigration thing too. I would def do it, if there was a baby that came to me and needed me to do it.

Skidoo - Thanks for the prayers, I go tomorrow for my next scan so hopefully these follies will have grown!! I am not sure if I have got this right but I think it is your ET today!! if it is I wish you the best of luck and am sending lots of sticky baby dust your way!!

Suzhan - Thanks for the follie growing dance!! I hope it has worked, my stomach is now feeling a little more tender than it was before so hopefully something is happening in there!!! When do you do your test? how are you doing with the 2ww? I have not been there before! hopefully will this time!

Angellica - As always I love your PMA, and you always make me smile! I deffinatley listen to what you say and try to take it on board cause you got a BFP so you must have done something right!!

Sassynlv - You have the right to be moody, AF is always a very moody time, but glad that it came on time for you and you can get injecting!!!! Thanks for the dance, fingers crossed that it has worked!!!

Sarahv - I am sure that these follies must have grown because I have had so many grow follie dances from you all!!! I know that I am lucky that at least I can produce the follies but I just think that if there is always too many and I get cancelled then what is the point in having that many!! I will just see how things go tomorrow!! Hope that you are doing well and I bet you can't wait for your first scan!!!

Good luck to everyone else testing this week or those in the 2WW hope it is not too bad and I am wishing you all BFP!!
