Wow, there's been like 4-5 pages added since I was here last! :shock: Lots of activity on the thread now! I just got back from a 4 day vacation/holiday in Pigeon Forge. I took my miracle DD to Dollywood. (Anyone ever been there?) She had a blast. It was so wonderful to spend time with her, especially before I start stimming, then it's 'stay close to home'.

Charlie - how's the 2ww going? I remember it well, it was the longest 2 weeks of my life I believe. Hang in there, you'll have that BFP very soon!

Welcome to Misspiggy, Sher8 and Susan. I hope I didn't miss anyone. Hey gbnut, I believe we were on an earlier thread together (Nov IVF gals)? Good luck to ya.

Rebecca - I use Menopur also. Yes, it stings when you inject it but not bad. I believe it is a good drug though and worth the sting. I'm cheering for your follies!!!

Well, AF should be here any day now.....just waiting....patiently... :roll:

Steph~ Congrats on it being a go for Monday too!! Yeah!!!! Are you nervous? I am. I thinkg cause its all so new to me.

How are the other Apr 2nd girls doing? REBECCA, Anie,Marcia, & HOPEFUL2007? Are your follies cooperating also?

Charlie ~ How are you hanging in there? Sending good vibes your way, I think about ya daily!

Welcome~ Misspiggy, Sher8,& gbnut !!!

Rebecca~ I was on Menppur too! It did not sting me at all after I started iceing the area before and after the shot. Mixing it is easy, after 1 time you will be a pro! Sending vibes to your follies..GROW GROW GROW!

Donna~ Hopefully AF will be here soon!!!

Have a great day all!
Jessica

Jesjes - thank you for your kind words and congrats on getting the go ahead for trigger! Wishing you all the very best for Monday! Image Sounds like you will have some nice mature eggs ready for picking! You will do great!

Jovigal - I'm not doing too bad thanks, slightly better than my last 2ww, but then I do feel like I haven't been through as much to get here. Dollywood sounds like a cool place! Sending you an AF jiggy! Image

Rebecca - I used menopur and had lots of follies - and I'm sure you are already a pro at the mixing! Thank you for the extra well wishes!

Steph - good luck to you triggering too! Image Will be thinking of you Monday!

Susan - Image Image Image Image Image Image Image
to the group! Good luck with those follies - slow and steady wins the race!

Anie2007 - good luck with trigger this weekend!

Croella - hope that witch turns up for you! I think I was on BCP for about 12 days then stopped then had AF! Good luck to you sweet!

Donna - hey - congrats on starting stimming!

Misspiggy - hope you are doing ok on the 2ww!

Sher8 - Image with FBT on Wednesday!

Daly - everytime I read your signature it brings tears to my eyes! Hope you are ok LOL

hello everyone,

great to hear that everyone is doing so well.

Good luck to those Monday EC girls!! I wish I was with you but my follies need a bit more grow time so I'm guessing mine will be towards the end of the week.

I managed the menopur mixing OK last night (a bit more complicated than the Follistim pen).... the bugger stung like a bee and left me with a bruise - I'll never moan about the Follistim again!! here's hoping that it will kick things into action, next appointment is Monday.

happy saturday everyone

Thanks Charlie for that AF jig you did, it worked, believe it or not, AF came tonight! So this is CD1 for me. I wasn't expecting it till about Tues. I'll be calling my RE's office in the am to get an appt with RE on Monday for base scan. I have a fear my prolactin level is up due to a short cycle this past month (23 days).... I guess I'll find out with my labs.

Welcome Jackie to the thread! If my base scan goes well, I'll be starting stims on Wed so we'll be close in our cycles. Sorry for your past losses, I wish you the best this time.

Good luck SMATTISON, JESJES, MarciaLOurhope4baby, HOPEFUL2007, and Anie2007 with your ECs on Monday and Tues. I hope I didn't leave anyone out. Rebecca, so you think you'll be toward the end of the week?

Nicki - if all goes well with my basescan, I may be having EC on the 11th also. Glad to hear you're doing well.

Gotta go get my laundry out before it wrinkles.......

Anyone else ever do that?

charlie78 - I'm jelous you have two weeks off..relax and enjoy. I hope everything is doing well on your 2ww.

Sher8 - Welcome and goodluck on your FET.

Donna - Congrats on starting your stim.GROW..FOLLIES..GROW.. The only time the follistim burn big time and also give me a big bruised was when I forgot to take it out from the ref 30 minutes before I used it, I think it was still a little cold when I injected it.Do you keep it in the ref? My nurse told me to keep it refrigerated I just have to make sure I'll take it out 30 min before using it. I also put ice on the area before injections that helps too. Goodluck....

gbnut - Goodluck...lots of activities are great..GROW..FOLLIES..GROW...

JesJes - WOW.. less than an hour more to go!!! you will be triggering...goodluck tonight and also on your EC Monday.

smattison - CONGRATS on having your trigger done!! Wooo Hoo..shots free tomorrow huh!! Goodluck on your EC on Monday.

rebeccaj - You will be a menopur mixer expert after doing it the second time.. Goodluck on your appointment on Monday.

JackieG - WELCOME in April cycle buddies group...

Jovigal - You better get that laundry now or else you will be doing lots of ironing :D Woo..Hoo.. AF started..you will start stimming soon....Goddluck..

As for me my follies are still growing..the biggest follies measured on my u/s today were 17mm I'm getting closer. I have another u/s and BW tomorrow morning. Based on my scan and estrogen level today my RE told me that I will trigger either tomorrow (Sunday) night or Monday night. We'll find out after tomorrow's u/s and BW result...

Getting sooo.. excited..

To everyone else...GOODLUCK... hope everyone is having a good and relaxing weekend..

Good morning!!

Anie, lets us know if you trigger tonight!! Good luck.

Jovigal, glad to have someone so close in cycle. Its good to have a buddie going thru the same thing!!

Rebecca, I will be using menopur and follistim too. It makes for a lot of shots huh?

Steph and Jess, how was the trigger. Not long now got EC.

I go on Monday to make sure I can start stims on Friday. Last time I had a cyst so hopefully they will not have to aspirate it!! :(

Hugs,

Hi Stephanie, My dogs name was Aspen. He was the love of my life. The greatest dog I ever had. His legs just kind of gave out on him the last couple years of his life. I have two other dogs. Both Sammy mixes. I think one of them is on my myspacepage, but haven't finished putting the pics on. It's a page in progress. I approved your request for friend. Thanks for asking. Sorry it took me so long, I've been out of town since Thursday. Still in CT, and flying home today. I had to come for a wedding. How did trigger go last night? Good luck on ER tomorrow. I know you'll do great. Tomorrow morning 8am for baselines for me.

Girls... I actually messed up on my meds dates a little. I was off about a day. You can fix them, or if not, no biggies. Lupron actually starts Tuesday the 3rd, and Folly and Menopur start Thursday the 5th. Sorry for the mess up. I guess I'm just excited to get going.

Jessica: good luck on ER tomorrow too. Good luck also to Marcia and Hopeful. We have so much going on right now. WOO HOO! Lots of BFP's coming our way!
