Summer Board 2011

[NancyB]

Beta today in 4 hours. Of course, it will be 3-4 hours after that before I get my numbers.

I'm excited and nervous.

[Madame X]

Wow there is a lot of exciting developments going on this week!!

Happy Birthday Anton – Hope it was a good one!!

Nancy – Good luck today!!! We are all waiting to hear the POSITIVE news and great numbers

Sunshine - that is super nice, you guys sounds like great friends. Tell your friend she is my thoughts and prayers.

Lauren – I am sure everything will go great tomorrow, can’t wait to hear how it all goes.

Kbanks – Glad stimming is going well. I bled very little a couple of times too, and once it is all over and done with I had about 3 or 4 mild bruises. They were gone in no time.

Dreams - Good luck tomorrow morning. It sounds like you are going to have a good number of eggs retrieved … YAY

Sorry if I missed anyone…

AFM – We had a crazy drama and stressful day yesterday. My ET was scheduled for 9:30. We were on our way and they called us and told us to go home, that our PGD test results were not back yet. They told us to sit tight and they would keep us posted. Finally 2 hours later the RE calls us and said that out of the 7 that fertilized 3 had Fragile X and 3 results came back inconclusive. That left us with only one to transfer. However the RE did not know yet if it had made it fully to blast!!! So now we had to wait another hour and a half for someone from the lab to call back and if all was good to go we would all meet at the hospital ASAP. Thankfully it did make to blast!!!! Of the three inconclusive, one they definitely don’t think is viable (for it had two X’s and they could find an allele on it) and the other two they said they would freeze and re-test. However, by the time we got there yesterday one had subsided, but the other was still going strong, it if made it to this morning (which outlook was real good) they are going to freeze it today and re-test it at a later time. So needless to say after a lot of crying, hugs, and stress we transferred one BOY!!! Fingers crossed everyone please!!!! I am PUPO!!! Pregnancy test is Friday 6/24 two days before my BIG 30!!

[NancyB]

Madame X -- oh my what a crazy day. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions. ugh ugh ugh I'm so sorry.

Please do keep your PMA up. Remember that it only takes one. How many days do you plan to do bed rest? How are you feeling? Did the transfer itself go okay?

I think it's cool you already know it's a boy. AMAZING!

REST REST REST and let that little boy snuggle in where he belongs for the next 9 months!!!!

KBanks - I'm finding as I go on the shots are hurting a little more. Nothing too unbearable. More like an uncomfortable feeling. Our doctor told us to count to 5 after doing the injection and don't pinch the skin when pulling the needle out. That should hopefully stop the meds from coming out. My shot this morning actually made me bleed as well. A little more than what I've ever seen. It was the ganirelix and I'm finding out (after only 2 shots haha) that I do not like that shot.

Susnhine - That is so neat about your friend and the journal. You're an amazing friend.

Nancy - Good luck with beta!!

X - I've got my fingers crossed for you!!

AFM...I'm patiently waiting for tomorrow's u/s and bw. We will know more about what's going on and when it is going to happen. I sure hope ER happens on Friday so I can rest on Saturday as well without having to go to work. The ganirelix shot this morning hurt. I'm finding out quickly that I am not a fan of that shot.

[RMB]

MadameX- you poor thing! How stressful that must have been!!! Well I pray that this little boy stick and in 9 mos you'll be holding him in your arms!!!

NancyB - Good luck today. We know your numbers will be great being that you got your BFP w/HPT already! How exciting!!!

Kbanks - injections can get a little difficult. I also have some liquid come out once I withdraw the syringe. I think it's pretty normal. And it does seem like the more we do them, the more uncomfortable they become. I think we run out of places to stick and the area becomes sore. Just think of why you're doing it and hopefully it helps a little.

Dreams2009 - Good luck on your ER on Tuesday!!! Let us know how it goes for you!!!

Blueeyedreamer - 14 follies is good. I had that amount on my first retrieval. Good luck!!!!

AFM - Talk about becomming impatient. The last week is the most difficult before getting my beta. I did break down and POAS and of course it was neg. I am 7dp3dt. I prob won't get an accurate result until my beta which is on Thurs 06/16. I am just hoping/wishing/praying that I'll see a +++. I am going to POAS everyday until then.

[NancyB]

Beta results are in....475!!!! I go back Wed to make sure the numbers double as they should. We are so excited!!!!

[Sunshine1576]

I can hardly wait to update the board this evening to put a BFP next to Nancy! Congratulations you are so pregnant, that is so exciting!




AFM: Yay, today I got a positive read on my opk so we triggered! Have a follicle on the left measuring 22 and on the right 16mm. My doctor was so happy, grinning huge when she saw more than just one big follicle.
IUI tomorrow morning, everything is possible through God, so keep on praying! xoxoxo

Sunshine,

That is GREAT news. Keep us updated!!!! So excited for you.

[WndrGrl]

Awesome news Nancy & Sunshine!!

[kerpupples]

Nancy - congratulations! 475 is a great strong beta!

MadameX - here's hoping that little fella sticks.

Sunshine - best of luck on the IUI!

Had a bit of a setback today. My clinic hsyteroscopy revealed a uterine polyp that I need removed. Was supposed to happen next Tuesday but the surgery center is booked, and my doc only does surgeries on Tuesdays. So now we are pushed back a month! Argh. My progesterone has tested slightly low as well.

[LYD10]

Congratulations, Nancy! well done!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lauren]

Nancy-CONGRATS girl!!!!!!!!!!!!! You and the DH must be smiling from ear to ear!!!!!! Thats a GREAT beta! yes, I am a RN i actually deliver babies used to do critical care but it was too rough on my body and mind at least with labor and delivery I have some JOY!! So after working all day on my feet running like a nut....i am sleepy!

Madam-WOW.....what a rollercoaster I think as Nancy said is right! I hate sitting by the phone stressing over "the call" rest up and let that little boy settle in!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS on PUPO

RMB-Hang in there...few more days till beta! remind me what your transfered???? praying you get your +++++++++++

AFM-Cooking some ZITI!!!! my favorite Had acupuncture today! did some gardening......im not sure why I am truly exhausted!

Pray for me girls!!!!!!!!!!!

OUR FIRST BFP of the SUMMER...............NANCY!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO so excited...this is good news!! Many mroe to come

[RMB]

Nancy - Woo hooo!!!! That's AWESOME!!!! Are you feeling any symptoms yet just out of curiosity? It probably is still a little too early. If I am not mistaken, you only transferred 1 embryo, is that correct?

Lauren - not sure of your question, but I'll try to guess. I transferred 4 embryos on June 6. I am 7dp3dt. Was that your question?

[akdelp]

YEAAAAA Nancy!!!!! I can't wait to join you in the BFP!!!

Happy belated Birthday Anton!!! Hope you had a wonderful day!

AFM - pre-op and u/s Thursday morning. I am getting a little anxious, maybe more excited...DH said he is excited, but nothing has "happened" yet so he's reserving his energy... Going to Colorado this Friday for a nice long weekend...can't wait!!!

Baby bust to all!!!!!

[NancyB]

Nancy - Woo hooo!!!! That's AWESOME!!!! Are you feeling any symptoms yet just out of curiosity? It probably is still a little too early. If I am not mistaken, you only transferred 1 embryo, is that correct?

Lauren - not sure of your question, but I'll try to guess. I transferred 4 embryos on June 6. I am 7dp3dt. Was that your question?

Yes, we only had one frostie on ice so that's what we transferred. Symptoms -- well it's hard to say because the PIO has some side effects. My boobs are pretty sore and are definitely larger. Yesterday I felt queasy a few times but today I didn't any. All in all, yes, I think it's pretty early for symptoms (from what I've read). Seems like sickness hits lots of moms around the 6 weeks mark (again from what I've read). I'll be 5 weeks on Thursday.

How are you feeling?
