April Cycle Buddies- Come Join the fun!!!

[doddo72]

Hi
THey said it was 12 at day 3 of my period and then I took the chlomid and on day 10 it was only 12.4 so I guess that means I didn't respond well. I am 34 years old. Not too old!! Whats happening to me?

I have a feeling my AF isnt going to arrive for another week. I spotted yesterday, now it stopped.
I could tell when I ovulated this moth, it was day 16 of my cycle, so maybe it will arrive soon!

Funny, we can't wait for our periods to arrive, and next month we will pray we don't have a period, but a BFP!!!

I am still in shock that this is happening a month sooner! I have 4 boys from a previous marriage. I am greatful that I do have children, and I know my story is different than many other people. I used to ber fertile until I had my tubes tied. Does the ER hurt? How bout the ET? I am getting nervous.

Thank you for listening! You are all my support buddies!

doddo - wow - I can't believe you will be starting a month sooner - how exciting! EC was fine for me - I don't remeber anything about it, although my DH said I talked throughout. ET was a little uncomfortable but nothing too traumatising - you will be fine! Wishing you all the best!

Sticky baby dust to you all

Donna-Wow congrats on the moving the date up. What does that make you EC date??? My EC hurt and I was out of it the 1st day and in bed all day the 2nd day. I was very bloated because after the EC your follies fill with water and it takes a few days for them to get smaller again. I was bloated for about a week after EC. ET was not bad at all…I think I got out of bed to soon because I felt OK. I will not do that again.

Sending you the AF JIGGY DANCE!!!!!

Also you Jovigal! AF JIGGY DANCE….My FSH Level is 12.9…

Rebecca-How are you feeling???

Good luck...CHARLIE!!!

[doddo72]

Hello Ladies,

Here is the plan:

AF around the 25th, the 28th start shots
April ER APril 9, ET April 12th...

It just depends on when AF wants to arrive.
if it doesnt come tomorrow, then it delays things....I hope that since my protocol has changed and things are happening a lot sooner, that it will still work.

Here is how it was going to work

March 25 AF - BC for three weeks,. Starting the third week of BC, start lupron for two weeks. so ER and ET were going to be at the beginning of the second week on may.

Please GOD Let this work the first time!!!!

[smattison]

Donna-Have faith it will work for you this time!!!

[charlie78]

hello everyone, feels like we're all getting there now...scary and exciting to think that we're the next thread on the forum to start celebrating BFP's!!! we'll also be the last ones on the forum to squeeze in all those babies into 2007!!

I'm feeling a lot better although I did just nearly faint in Fred Meyer (supermarket a bit like Tesco's)... was a bit embarrasing as almost ended lying in the broccoli! shots are going fine this time, in my first cycle I got so wound up and stressed every morning and night but this time it feels like we're experts and it hasn't worried me. my tummy is feeling a bit odd but I can't work out whether that's from the follistim or just from teh stomach bug.

Donna, great news on the new cycle, one less month of worry. it means' you'd be looking at a new years eve baby or there abouts!! I have to admit that I found that the EC was quite painful but this forum alome shows you how different everyone is and most people seem to get through it without much pain.

Charlie, the update looks lovely, Good luck for this week., how are you feeling? do you start your progesterone this weekend?

Daly, no Papa Hyden's for a while!! once we get our BFP's I'll have the biggest piece of cake in the shop!!

Nicki, jovigal, stephanie - how are you ladies doing?

happy saturday everyone

Hi Ladies,

I am new her too!

On my first IVF round and started stimming yesterday and EC is going to be April 2nd. So nice to see some other people on here going through the same thing. Looking foreward to getting to know you all better!!

BTW~ the Lupron shots are much easier for me than the Menopur & Follistism ones...they both burn and hurt really bad!

[charlie78]

JesJes Welcome to the group!

Rebecca - I'm glad you are feeling better - still sounds like you should be taking it easy though! Yes I start my progesterone tonight - I take the yukky pessaries!

Happy Saturday to all!

[smattison]

Welcome JesJes---Looks like Rebecca and I have a cycling buddy. We are all 3 going in on the 2nd of April. This is my 2nd IVF, if you have any question just ask...everyone here is so helpful and we will all give you honest answers. I wish I would have had this my first time, it would have helped alot!

[JesJes]

Thanks for the welcome Charlie & Stephanie!

So nice to make friends who are experiencing all this at the same time! I would love to buddy up with you & Rebecca!! It would help so much. I had no idea all of this would be so hard and emotional for me so I am taking it all day by day and praying for the best! Good luck to you all!

[smattison]

I am doing Ok today I guess. Just fat!!! None of my clothes are working for me. I went yesterday and bought some new pants...some that will work when I get that BFP!!! Hubby is taking me out tonight for a romantic evening...hehehe, where we are going is a surprise so I can't wait! I will let you girls know how it goes. He can be romantic if he tries he just doesn't try very often.

I have contacted a new clinic as part of my Plan B. They specialized in Tube Reversal. It is only $6500 and they say most of their patients get BFP within 6 months to a year. As a plan B I like those odds. Our only problem is that I had my tubes tied about 11 years ago after my 3rd son. It was a blessing since I would have had more kids with that jackass if I did do that and I would not be where I am now which is a wonderful place. So I am Planing a Plan B so all my work willbe for nothng when I get that BFP!!!! Expect the worst and hope for the best!!!! I am trying to prepare myself for all answers! Have a great day everyone and I will see you guys tomorrow!

[rebeccaj]

hi jesjes, welcome!! it's nice to have another person on the west coast - get's a bit lonely after the rest of the world has gone to bed!! Daly is also on our side of the world but has a little more sunshine in her life than we do in the north west (i'm in Portland).

Stephanie, hope you won't need that plan B but am hoping you'll need those extra roomy trousers!! have a nice evening with the hubby, love mine to bits but wish he'd get out of the bl**dy garage sometimes - he's taking apart an old Porsche and I swear it gets way more attention than i do! his idea of a romantic evening would be me helping to take the wheels off!

Charlie, good luck with the progesterone, not really sure which is worse the pessaries or the injections, If I get that far this time I'll be on the injections and the needles are massive.

Happy Saturday everyone

Hi everyone,

I'd like to join the April cycle buddies. I just started stimming yesterday. So far I'm coping ok with the injections, I did not feel any of the side effect yet but I don't know what to expect the next day or the next couple of days....

[CroElla]

Hi everyone, I am new here and this is my first IVF. Shortly: I’m 36 and my DH is 32. My fallopian tubes are blocked, and we finally saved enough money for our IVF.
I am expecting AF somewhere around 28th of March, but since the embryology lab is going to be closed for a Spring brake (8-14th of April) my doctor decided to pout me on BCP until the week after the 14th. I already have my medication ready (Follistim, Repronex, Pregnyl, Genirelix…) …..I am reading throughout this tread and it seams that you guys are great and helpful bunch. Since it seams that I am going to start my medication in April, I think that I belong in this group.

By the way: CroElla because I’m from Croatia, and Ella is a nick name
