Deftonesmo - WOW! That is cool! Congrats!

(tap, tap, tap)... Excuse me everyone.... We ALREADY have twins among us! LOL!

[cheryl010120]

Congrats Deftonesmo! Wonder if we'll end up with similar pregnancies?! Good luck with your transfer on Saturday (mine is Monday). How many are you transferring?

You are such a funny girl Shelby! Nice to laugh during all of this insanity! I soooo know what you mean about coffee! Today was my last day drinking coffee. And I'm making myself feel better by reminding myself that I couldn't tolerate it during pregnancy.

[Sangria]

So... I just realized I haven't posted since page 11. I'm still here, but every time I start writing I realize what a self-centered downer of a post I'm making and decide to skip and write some when I'm not going to bring everyone down.

For me, everything is on super slow mo and keeps getting pushed back. But, I start Lupron on September 1 so I think maybe I finally get this show on the road. (Insanity reigns supreme! I'm excited about shots. I need my head examined.) And if all goes well, we will still transfer at the end of September.

Since this is my first go around, it's actually kind of nice being at the back of the pack. I get a preview of what's coming. Also thanks for making this a September / October thread, in case I have further delays!

- Sangria

[shelbyrn0214]

Sangria - Hey Girlie! Missed you! Looking forward to needles?? You're more of a woman than I am!

Fitzjr - less than 24 hours left before your ER! Hoping for a ton of potential little Fitzer's!!!! GL!

[deftonesmo]

I believe my RE said 4 embies on Saturday . . .
the only part I'm dreading is drinking all that water and not being able to pee...
that's the worst feeling!

[cheryl010120]

No kidding! So grateful for the valium (to make us not worry about not peeing) and the bedpan (for when we KNOW we can't hold it any longer!)

[fitzjr11]

looking forward to transfer tomorrow and getting all these follicles out so I can walk normal again! anyone else have a sore spot after doing the trigger shot?

[wolffie]

HI LADIES!

fitz- Do you have your retrieval or transfer tomorrow? Good luck either way!

Sangria - HI ((waving)), glad to 'see' you again! I hope all is going well. Please post whenever you want! Don't worry about being downer. We're here to help bring you back up!

cheryl - good luck with transfer on monday! Sounds like you have a great fertilization report!

deftonesmo - congrats to you too and your fertilization report! I'll be praying for your embies!

shelby - how ya feeling? sorry that AF isn't being very nice on her visit.

AFM, okay ladies, I am going to make a totally selfish request! My little guy is entered into a photo contest and he is currently in 3rd place. I really really want to win this prize so I am requesting your help! If you have a few minutes please vote for Tyler! The link is below. You don't have to register or anything you just have to vote on all the babies in the contest (hopefully giving tyler the highest vote) If you check the top 10 baby list he should be number 3. He is the one with the hat on and his arms in the air, with the HUGE smile. He is wearing a shirt that says, "apple of mommy's eye". I really really really appreciate your help!

Hello Ladies,
I've had such a busy day today that this is actually the first time I get to read the board today.

dtao - I also hope my cycle is like yours. It's looking like it.

cheryl010120 - Great fert report. GL on ET.

deftonesmo - GL on ET on Sat.

Fitzjr - GL on ET tomorrow.

AFM, I went into RE this morning and while I was checking in I asked to leave a message for my dr to give me a call. My dr is out of town so another doc from the practice called me back. I explained that I've heard that I'm on the highest dosage they give and she said that is correct. She said that they've done research and it shows that there is no significant increase in the # of eggs. I explained what I've read and she said the only difference is thousands of more $$, which I guess I can appreciate that. She said that my cycle is going alot better than it did last time. My E2 is 370 and I'm on day 6 of stims. I didn't even hit that after 10 days of stimming last time. That's why I was canceled. Another follie popped up so I'm up to 5. She said I'll probably end up with 3 or 4 good eggs. I'll take it!! It only takes one, right?! So, I'm taking it one little victory at a time. I asked how much longer would I stim for and she said everyone is different but probably 3 or 4 more days. I go in on Sat am again and I'll have my pre op with one of the nurses at that time. I hope to be able to celebrate another victory on Saturday. So it looks like ER might be sometime next week. Once I find out I will share so I can be updated on the list. I'm REALLY trying to be level headed about this and not get too excited. I did last time just to get dissapointed.

Good luck to all the ladies going in for ERs and ETs soon. PMA and lots of sticky baby dust to all. Please say a little prayer for me.

Woffie - Consider it done! He is so adorable! AF is definately here with a fury, but hopefully by tomorrow she will be nicer to me.

Fitzjr - Good Luck in the morning! I honestly don't remember my trigger shot because my butt was too sore from the PIO.

Cheryl - As bad as it may sound, I wouldn't even mind if they catheterized me before I left the transfer room just to relieve the pressure.

Mjay and Dtao - how ya holding up in the 2ww? Are you just sitting there staring @ that EPT wondering when/if you should take it? he..he.. I'm going to try to be strong this time and not do it. "TRY" is the key word!

Johannanita - When is your next appt? Did you talk to the RE today?

Firesauce - Where'd ya go? have you started stims yet? I hope you are doing well.

JenNJ - Did you ever start the injectables?

AFM - Cullen (our youngest) and I made deep fried oreos tonight. They were so good! He likes to cook so he comes up with different things he wants to try from time to time. It's a lot of fun for both of us.
From looking @ my calendar and the time frame from the week of transfer, it is possible that I could have my first beta on October 1. That will be our 5 year anniversary. What an anniversary that will be if we get a BFP! I would absolutely love it! Talk about not being able to top that present! LOL!

[shelbyrn0214]

Johannanita - We must have been typing our messages @ the same time. That's great about the follies! See, just keep your head up and attitude positive and you've already made one more follie pop up! GL on Sat!

JenNJ - I just read your post about your FSH. I'm so sorry for the upsetting news, but don't give up. There are options, and hope, out there for you. Just pray and do what is laid upon your heart to do. I wish you the best and please hang around.

[Johannanita]

shelbyrn0214 - I thought the same exact thing when I read your post. lol This e2 just needs to keep rising and these follies just need to keep on growning and I might just make it to ER this time! Like I said, one victory at a time.
