NOV 06 IVF girls....

[Jovigal]

Erin, sorry to hear about your cysts. I HATE CYSTS!!! I WISH THEM AWAY FROM THIS THREAD!!! I'm still waiting on AF. Hopefully my cyst will be gone now. I've been on steroids, even got a shot since I last posted, for my poison ivy. I'm not sure how the steroids will effect the cyst. I hope it doesn't make it grow....

[jordan22]

UGH Erin.. I am sorry you have 2 aweful cysts and are in pain.. that just stinks.. (((HUGS)))

Jovigal... I hope the meds helped the ivy.... and I sure hope they did not do anything to the cyst... when do you go back in for a recheck???

WELCOME........... skidoo.... I am glad you found us...

[M'BA]

Today is my RE appt, and I am starting to get worried. I am scared that my cysts are still there and I will not be ready still... I have been having some bloating and cramping, so not sure what to think of that !!!! Just venting a little of my nervousness out!!!! Sorry...

It's neat to see where everyone lives, what a great mixture we have going here!! I love it!

Welcome skidoo...glad to have you along for the ride !!! This is a great group that offers great advice and support!!!

I don't know about you all, but I am still tickled about Jeck's BFP !!! I went home last night after work, and was telling my husband all about it!! I was so excited!! Anyway---I know this trend is going to continue!!! Yeah!!!

CYSTS STAY AWAY FROM THIS THREAD!!!

*praying hard*

[vicky77]

KF'06, my grandparents were from Russia!!, thanks for the emoticons by the way

M'BA good luck today with your RE appt, hope everything is ok, we will all be sending you good vibes!!

Welcome Skidoo, hope you find this place helpful, I love it!!

We should have a witch to create something to get the cysts away from all of us in this thread!! LOL

Question, are stim injections bigger (I mean needle) than lupron??, does it hurt?? (as you can see I do not like needles very much.....kind of a problem with this treatment.... )

[Bubby101]

Vicky,

We are in the same situation. I am 25 my DH had low sperm count and this is my first IVF. When I went to my IVF orientation the nurse made my DH give me a practice inter muscular shot. That one has the longer needle. It was amazing because I didn't feel a thing. I think it was great that she had him do that because no I'm not scared of it anymore.

Hi ladies,

I've been having a time out, but i am back and ready to have a strong BFP with my 4th attempt. This will be my 3rd and final FET.

I had my first lupron shot this morning and my FET will probably be Nov 17th, it all depends on how my lining developes and if any of my 4 frozen embies survive the thaw.

Were living in Centerville Ohio, but we are from England and will be going back there in Jan 08, we come from Glos/Wilts area.

It's good to see so many previous cycle buddies, but i wish you all weren't here and were rubbing bellies or cuddling new borns, but we are all going to have BFPS this time so we will be rubbing bellys for the next nine months.

Take Care
Hugs

Hi All,

Well at last it is not long to go now, my appointment is tomorrow and I am so scared!!!! I never get the news I want from these appointments so I am just hoping that this time is different!! I know I probably sound really dramatic but sometimes I have learnt to expect the worst rather than feel positive cause then it is not such a blow if I get the worst!

Skidoo- Welcome to the board and I wish you lot's of luck for your cycle, we are all here if you need to chat, moan or anything else! Everyone is great!

Rachel- Great to have you on this board, hope you are feeling nice and relaxed and ready for your next cycle, I am wishing you a BFP!!!

Jamie&Duane- I am glad that you got your AF, things will be able to get moving now, let us know about your next stage and dates etc so we can keep up!!

SarahV- Wow, you live in Seattle, ma and DH would love to go there, what is it like? would you recommend it as a place to visit? how long would we need there? sorry about all the questions but me and DH love travelling and might go there soon!!

Jovigal- I just wanted to send you wishes and hope that your cyst has gone, if you do incvent a witch dance to get rid of them let me know and I will try and do it for you all!!

Erin- Hope that you are doing well and that you can get back to us soon, I am thinking of you and just remember that what you are going through is to give you the best chance for you to get that BFP you deserve!

Nicola- I was just reading the list of where everyone is from and it looks like we are the only two so far from the UK!!
Oh well, I hope you are doing well on your cycle! sending baby dust your way, seeing as though it is not that far it might reach you!!

MBA- I hope that your appointment went well, I have got mine tommorow and it is horrible waiting for it! I hope you got good news and are able to start soon! Wishing you lots of luck!

Sending lot's of luck and baby dust to everyone else on the Nov Girls thread, I hope that you are all doing well and staying positive as we get closer and closer to all those BFP's

Take Care

Thanks Kristin, I hope my shots go as well as your trial ....

Rachel, I wish everything goes well in this cycle for you, we will all be giving you the strenght and wishing you well, so you can have the so waited BFP!!

Cheeky Monkey, sorry I think I got lost, but what kind of appointment do you have tomorrow??, to start stims?? , anyway, whichever it is, good luck for you tomorrow!!!!!!, I hope they tell you what you want this time!!

Everyone else, good luck and lots of BFP's!!!!!!

[jordan22]

as far as then stims needles go... what are you on???? If it is follistim or Gonal F pen then it is tiny..... If it is something else then it could be bigger...

I am loosing my mind and totally forget everything I was going to say.....

[M'BA]

It's really strange... by the end of my first IVF attempt I was getting use to all the needles. But now, I am starting to freak out about it again. I thought it was wierd, that enough time has passed that I have forgotten that it is all okay!!!

Question---has anyone tried massage or acupuncture during the process? Does anybody have any information about the benefits/draw backs?

Thanks all. Just a few more hours until my appointment...can you tell I am counting down the seconds??

[skidoo]

Thank You all for the welcome. I am trying to read some of your stories and find them very interesting.

We are dealing with male factor as some of you. My husband has good swimmers but the morphology is low. We will try ICSI for this first attempt. We were able to get pregnant a year ago on oral clomid and then I had to deliver the baby at 19 weeks. He was a baby boy. The still are not sure what went wrong. We have not been able to conceive since so they are saying IVF is are only chance. Not sure if that is true but we are ready to try anything.

Does everyone just respond to previous replys?

Thanks...

[Jovigal]

Guess what? AF finally arrived! I have a question for you gals. It just started at about 6pm. Do I count this as day 1 or do I wait until tomorrow and count it as day 1 since it is so late today?????? It's too late to call the clinic.

Rachel (Dory) - so glad to see you back, We've missed you! I'm wishing you my best and doing the fertility dance for you this time!
