Winter 2010-2011 Cycle Board

[HopeIsAllIHave]

Seriously.. with all this homework on my hands, I still can't help but refresh the page every so often to check on Margi's results. Anxiously waiting..

[CJinNC]

I think she found out and she is just trying to make us suffer!

[LeeS]

Us stalkers are anxiously awaiting Margie's BETA too!!

Lee

[lou71]

Margi --- Dear lord, where is your beta?!?!?!?!? Are we all going to have to wait until morning? Gosh, I hope not!

[margi26]

Sorry ladies....looks like we are all going to have to suffer until morning. I officially give up that I will get a call tonight. It is now 7pm in Cali....I even tried your idea NWQuiz, tried to beg the lab to give me the results...I said I would drive there in the rain with ID to get them. Nope. He said they only give it to doctor's offices....so I guess I..I mean, we, will have to wait until morning. Which is really 11 or 12 Eastern time. Sigh.

And guess what? I did get to put my peeing skills to good use today. Guess who got pulled for a random drug screen today at work? What? Me? pee in a cup? I am an EXPERT there.

Thanks for all your support ladies....I am trying to remain calm and positive...just can't help but worry.

Will have to put my IVF meditation on loop all night to help me sleep!!!

[annashope]

Margi we will wait till tomorrow with you Some of us preggos have started dosing off already...lol Please don't worry I am sure your beta is great. Let us know as soon as you find out tomorrow.

[CJinNC]

Wouldn't it be funny if they say, "Nope, no drugs.. but did you know you were pregnant?" LOL Sorry no results today... your lab really does suck on this "STAT" stuff... I would seriously file a complaint with them.. they need to do better, as I am sure your insurance is paying them extra for stat results that aren't coming through. Better luck tomorrow!

[katieb1231]

Margi - I can't believe this lab is making you wait it's not like you are waiting to know if you are going to live or die you are waiting to know if you are pregnant for goodness sake.....geeeeesssshhhhh.....ugh I got a new computer an I am totally testing it's refresh capability!!! Works good!

Anton & Kynlee & Killsby - congrats on great ER numbers! Kynlee tell me what Netflix you are watching? Killsby just remember all it takes is one and sounds like you are off in the right direction with your number then your fert report keep the good things coming all the way to BFP! DH is staying home from work Thursday & he doesn't work Friday (4 day work week) so he will be waiting on me hand & foot for those two days! Teehee

Lou - So happy your 'gummy bear' is happy & you love 'it' this is YOUR baby & you will be taking 'it' home soon enough

Leorira - I can't believe the job didn't work out.......amazing that they didn't tell you all of that in the first place so strange? Well maybe it is a blessing in disguise & 'your' job is just lurking around the corner waiting for you to take it! And yes they changed my ET to tomorrow RE forgot he wouldn't be in clinic on the 17th....no worries just one day closer to being PUPO again

Lauren - I am sending vibes your way to get that damn letter going!!!!! GEEZ....there is so much waiting with this process

CJinNC - Yes I think that would hilarious if they said nope no drugs (well maybe she is OD'ing on progesterone & estrogen by normal standards!) but did you know you are pregnant! I love it

AFM - Progesterone tireds have officially kicked in I am so tired I can hardly stand it....tomorrow is my ET and I am completely stressed out about it, doing a FET is sorta scary with the what if's of your frosties but really praying for the best that the first two they try to thaw make it and are happy and give us our baby...... And of course like every time we have to be on a schedule & have heightened sensibilities there is a colosal storm approaching - UGH - oh well.

So a question for you ladies, I am on crinone (vaginal progesterone) and mostly it stays in OK and I have no problems today I am sorta sensitive down there & it seemed like it all fell out????? Not sure how much but it seemed like most of it??? Does this happen to anyone who has taken crinone in the past?? I am too tired to stress out about it but it was strange......

Have a good night ladies, let you know how it goes tomorrow can't wait to hear about your betas, fert reports & just daily happenings to all you lovely ladies, be strong my IVF sista's

[margi26]

Ok...I will get out of my self-pity party.....

Babydreamz and Amanda79: Thank you ladies for the congratulations.


Leora: Yeah for you getting u/s a day early...I can’t wait for results!!

Kbillsy: 2 or 3 embies is good! Good luck with transfer on Thursday....wonderful! Rest up because you are going to be PUPO before the end of the week.

Carol: Yes, the pollen on the cars and windows isn’t my favorite thing about living in the Carolinas...but other things make up for it. And you are 3dpiui...should definitely be fertilizing in there!!! Going away for weekend sounds splended.

My preggo-friends...Anna, Mellow, Ryann, Amanda, Rio, Ashley, and Lou: Thanks for checking in with me...sorry the blood clinic is so incompetent. You should have seen me explain and beg the phlebotomist to make sure it was marked STAT. Put in RED bag. Highlighted. Clinic’s fax number circled and highlighted. Sigh....

Anton: I can’t wait to hear your fert report in the morning!! Tomorrow is a big day for a lot of us on the board. Hope you slept well and are getting some rest.

Lee: Thanks for checking in...like the ticker

Pauleen: What about you?! Did you get your results back?

Lauren: So glad furbaby is feeling better...I’d love to see a photo!!

Kynlee: 22 eggs!!! Holy moley. Take care of yourself..rest up and drink some Gatorade. You feeling ok? Those ovaries of yours worked hard.

Katie: Is your FET tomorrow? Or Thursday? I am so excited for you!!

[katieb1231]

FET is tomorrow Wednesday 3/16....2:30 MST......hope it all goes well....I know ET procedure itself is no big deal but all that surrounds it is so daunting! Will post after I am PUPO with some pictures, can't wait for that part......please let my frost babies make the thaw

[Lauren1171]

Margi - Ugh!!!!!! But one more day to hear your awesome beta! I know it will be great!

Katie - Crinone is one thing I do not miss!!! Yes it's normal for some to come out later. Kind of gross and gets worse.

[DJ-BJ]

hhhaaaapppyyyy.... a little birdie scanned me tonite and told me i have a girl and a boy!!!!

[leorira11]

Tiger - BCP is the first step. You will be having your own BFP really soon. I really want this to work out for you too!

Pauleen - OUCH! I hope you are feeling better! I hope you get a good beta today! Did you get any embryos to freeze?

kbillsy - yay! 3 embryos sounds great! Remember that Lou got her BFP when she had only one embryo to transfer - so it just takes one good one! Good luck tomorrow!

Carol - 4dpiui today -- I hope this time speeeeds by for you! Can you get away this weekend? That would be great. When will you start POAS?

Anton - I always find the time between ER and ET as sooooo stressful. You just want to KNOW that you have good embryos to transfer. I hope your fert report is amazing!

Kat - Dh just got promoted, so we can swing it financially if I don't find a job - but with 2 babies on the way, we'd like to start saving more! Also, here this is state paid maternity leave for 3 months, but only if you worked at least 6 out of the 14 months before your due date - which I *just* miss the cutoff for. I need to work at least one more month!

Lauren - so glad puppy is feeling better! Getting boy dogs fixed is much easier than girl dogs... What is taking your RE so long to write that letter? sheesh!

Kynlee - 22 eggs? Wow! That's amazing! Rest up, feel good and let us know when you get your fert report!

Lou - yay! Happy, healthy baby!

Margi - it SUCKS that you didn't get your results. But I'm sure it's fine. Call again first thing in the morning then let us know!

Katie - good luck at FET today! You will be PUPO in just a few hours! I'll find another job, or I won't. Either way, I won't stress over it. It's not worth it!

AFM - 2 heartbeats! yay! Both are measuring a bit behind (5w6d by CRL instead of 6w1d) but I was told that is fine. I can't believe it! Our scanner isn't working, so I'll post a pic later when I scan the u/s in.

OMG. Really twins again. OMG.

I just got home from the clinic. I threw up (even though I hadn't eaten all morning). Now I'm eating a giant bowl of Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk (the *best* flavor). aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.... the joys of being pregnant!

Girls! I am so excited!!!! My fert report is very good! here it goes: 7 fertilized and looking great and 5 of them excellent embryos!!! Grade 1 she told me! (embryologist) I told her that we are planning on having a 5 day transfer that is Saturday, and i asked her "you think they are going to make it!" (I know! stupid question but I am really anxious so I prefered to make a stupid question rather than not! ) and she answered "I am very optimistic abour your embies, they look excellent and exactly how they should be for a 2dpo so I don't thing why not make a 5 day ET". I am so happy! she also told me that she doesn't like to promise anything b/c you never know what might happen but she feels very good about them. She told me to call tomorrow if I want and ask her how they are growing... I AM SO HAPPY!!! YEAY!!! SO FAR SO GOOD GIRLS!

I am so excited!!! I am going to buy stuff to make Lasagnia for tonight!!! we need to celebrate our news!! right!
