Anie, did you purchase your meds from the clinic pharmacy or a retail pharmacy? At my clinic, they will refund you for any unused meds that you have.

Hi Jovigal,

I purchased it from the retail pharmacy called "The Medicine Shoppe". I will call them tomorrow if they accept return they're closed today. That's great that your clinic will refund any unused meds.

Hope you have a great weekend..

HI Everyone!! Sorry I've been off-line all week-end. I feel like it's been ages. Wow, I've missed alot!

Steph and Jessica and Anie - WOW!! Time for ER! How exciting. Steph I totally laughed about your dh. Sounds like something mine would say. Sending you all the enormous wonderful perfectly matured egg counting fairy! Let us know how you do. I know you'll all do great and get plenty pampered by dhs!!

Susan and Jackie - Welcome!! More BFPs for our happy April group! Jackie - I saw your mc list and it read sadly like my own. We have alot of little angels sending us love. Did they ever give a reason for why you had the losses. Mine our multifactoral (as are most). My new RE just found out I had a septum. I have an arcuate (heart) shaped uterus and it is considered "normal", but given the mc history he wanted to check by hysteroscopy and sure enough (after 3 years of hsgs and multiple evals) he found (and removed) a septum taking up 30% of my uterus - YIKES! My mc risk should improcve from 80% to 20% with that change alone (not including my high fsh) Anyway, sorry to prattle on, but recurrent mc are hard to get through. Sending us both long lasting 9 mn sticky vibes (and then 90 years of very healthy life for our little ones!).

JoviGal - Huge congrats on AF - YEAH!! You'll be stimming in no time. I'll bet your prolactin is fine. Get ready for alot of poking!

BWHD - Thanks for the twin support

Keep sending me twin vibes. Let me know when you get a chance to put your doggie pics up on your site. It's so sad when their little hips give out

Mine are having alot of trouble with our new wood stairs. Poor Tiny (my ironically fatter and less nimble pomeranian) can't negotiate stairs well and rolled down them this morning

I need to do something for the little guys.

Charlie - You seem so calm on your 2ww! I think we should all celebrate B-days and have 2 weeks off! Only 10 days left. ARe you a good testers or do you need to er, "practice" peeing on a stick a couple or so days early so you are in perfect peeing form? (as I rationalize to my dh who still hasn't accepted that I am a total pee stick junkie) Thanks for the great list updates. BFP BFP BFP!!

Rebecca - I'm glad your RE is adding menopur to the mix. It has LH and FSH (follistim is FSH only) They find alot of women need a bit of LH and do better with that in the mix. I'm sure it is just what you ovaires need nad you'll do great

CroElla - Thank you so much for you dear words. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that AF behaves for you and it looks like you are nearly in the clear. Maybe you can sweet talk them into letting you skip BCP even it it starts tomorrow. YEAH!!

April - Almost time to start poking! April seems quite the appropriate month for your IVF and BFP!

Donna - How are your stims treating you?

Nicki - I hope you got reassurance about your mucus scare. I would totally have thought the same thing. I'm glad the other girls had it during their IVF cycles before ER as well. You're doing great! When is your next scan?

Big hello to anyone I missed (I'm terribly behind

)

I've got my first stim scan tomorrow and really hoping to show something on US after all this poking!!! Time for tonights shots now! Tons more luck for all the ERs tomorrow. I'll be thinking about you and praying for you

Hi Daly.

Yep we are doing something a little different because of all of the MC.

This time we are doing PDG. This will make sure that we only put back the normal embies.

Good luck to Steph and Jes today with EC!!!

Alot of us are very close in cycle. Thats very exciting.

I am on my way to the DR for the US and BW. Please pray that I have no cysts so that I can start stimms.

Hugs,
Jackie

Best of luck to those having ER today! Hope you have lots of good news to report.

Tomorrow is my blast transfer in the afternoon. I'm hoping the thaw goes well and it is in great condition. We'll drive two hours to our clinic and leaving DD at home with a babysitter. This seems so surreal to me this time. I guess I'm still amazed at what modern medicine can do for us.

I'll be joining those on the 2ww tomorrow so that is when the fun really begins.

Sher best of luck with your FET tomorrow. hope all goes well and that they survive the thaw. how many do you have frozen????

Nicola do not know why i am so slow this time. This is my third fresh cycle an dit has been totally different. I have lots of follies there they are just taking there time in growing. I will get there eventually i hope. just wish i felt a bit better i feel sore today and my tummy hurts.

I had my bood work done and ultrasound today. I started the stimms on Friday. As of this morning they found about 4 follicles that are about 10 mm eahc and a bunch of other follies growing that are smaller.
The nurse hopes I will be doing the HCH Trigger Shot Friday night, and having the ER on Sunday. What a wonderful Easter Present.
I am still waiting for the blood work results to see what my estrogen level is.

For any of you that did IVF before, do you remember where you were at on day 4 of stimms???
Good Luck Everyone!!!!

Baby Dust to you all!!!

Donna

nicolamark · Post by **nicolamark** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:47 pm

Donna, I dont get my follciles measured til after 7 days of stimms!!!
However i am sure they re growing, feel bloated.
Also i have been to the loo (no2's) three times today!!! I usually only go 1x aday!! Is that the effects of the stimms??? xx

doddo72 · Post by **doddo72** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:56 pm

Hello,
I did notice an increase in my BM's and have gone everytime after I ate something. I would say it is from the meds.
Id rather have that then headaches, and all those other side affects.

I did get some bruises, and that is probably because I am not that good with the shots...

TTYL

Susan,

Just one blast frozen from my 1st fresh IVF cycle. I'm hoping for another miracle!

Donna,

Your follie count sounds normal. You'll be surprised how many you will have in the next couple of days. Not to mention, you will also feel it like Nicki is. I felt like I was carrying a bag of marbles around. Some analogy, huh!?!?!

Take Care
