Libby - WHEW!! Finally got those little ones back in there! Did they freeze any? When will you know?

AFM - Feeling great, though I do get a little dizzy from the progesterone. My parents just left, so all of my company for the week is finally gone. I have loved having everyone because it has made the week go by so quickly. Today is my last day of light duty, and DH and I both feel like I've done better job relaxing this time than the other two. I've never had regrets that I did something to cause the embies not to stick in the end, but I'm glad I've been able to relax during this time. I went through my second IVF cycle almost this exact same time last year...and it was RIGHT before DD underwent open heart surgery. Nice, huh? I found out it didn't work a day or two before her actual surgery (AF came...I had to still do beta while she was in the hospital), so it's been nice to not have that stress this time (though I didn't have a whole lot of time to be too upset about a BFN). At any rate, my PMA is high, and I'm hoping it stays that way and that this week goes by quickly!
Well this time you don't have to worry cause you are going to get your BFP like our 2 friends today. Hang in there girl.

I actually got a positive on Thursday afternoon :wink: but wantedt to wait a few days to make sure that very faint pink line became a very bold pink line....and it has!! I got a positive with a CBE digital on Friday as well. I haven't told a soul yet - just my DH (obviously). I'm going to call my mom tonight and my friends that have been waiting for Sunday to come for me to POAS. I have a box of FRERs left so I'll just use them every morning until my beta on Friday. I can't get enough of seeing that pink line show up!
You are PREGNANT also that is just so amazing. This is a very good number in one day I mean it's amazing... I hope next week we all get BFP also... way to go girl... I am in chock!!! :D

Happy and healthy 9 months.

Chris and Heeks!!! Woohoo! Congrats girls! Sara congrats again! 3 positives is a great sign! I am sooo happy for you girls! :D

This is how our group was back in Jan '08. Sooo many BFP's and it was a large group, too. This is a great sign for all of us! :D

Rlk...they might still let you add the waranty if you asked?
Also, ditto the girls on the pio. And, call your doc in case they want you to up your dose since you may be losing some through the blood. I'm on baby aspirin again....and I did bleed a little with pio's (2 yrs ago) especially when DH missed...but it shouldnt happen every time. Baby aspirin makes me bruise easier, too.

Another tip for doing the PIO is this...get a chair out and turn it around so that you can lean forward on the back of it...put your weight on the opposite foot and let your other leg go limp (I sorta just let my toes touch the floor) and that is the side my DH uses to put the shot in (the limp/relaxed side). Ice actually makes the muscle tense up....but if you like ice then go for it...everyone is different. Hope that makes sense.

babyluv...My goodness that is alot of stress to deal with last year. Hope all is well now. No stress allowed this year for you! Heck, I turned down hosting Easter this year...just so I didnt have to stress out about it at all. lol

secaly...my incision on the outside is horizontal, too. However, they cut me vertically on my uterus. It is very rare that they have to do this...and you would probably know if they did...they told me at the time, but I didnt really "get it" till later. If you are concerned at all...call your doc and ask them which cut they did. They call it classic or vertical. I ended up making an appt with my doc a few months ago...and went over all the risks with them.

Marci -Your comments are HYSTERICAL!! I love seeing how you change up our board as you post where people are in the process. How is AF going?

Tammy - Thanks, MUCH less stress now, that's for sure. DD was 18 months when she went in for surgery (something we knew was a possibility when we adopted, but still hard to go through), and she is a total spitfire. May need another surgery in the future, praying not, but other than her fading scar, you'd never know she ever had a heart condition (not to mention asthma...).

misocial: I know I’ve been gone for a while! How did you know that I was out looking for AF?? I searched high and low but she was nowhere to be found!

Helene: Welcome to the board! You have jumped right in. Don’t be like me and go missing because these girls will find you!
Secaly: Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m not giving up yet! Just had a case of the big ol NEGATIVITY, but I’m back. The description for what we go through is exactly right, a roller coaster! I’m all over the place.

rayofsunshine (Sara): Many many congrats to you! That’s the best news ever! I’m hoping for many more BFPs soon!

supergenius: Wonderful news! Now make sure to take some time and rest! 3 WOW! Can’t wait to see how well you’re doing!

rkl1: I’m so sorry that happened with your injection. I haven’t made it that far yet, but from taking the others once or twice I saw some blood after the injection. The nurse said that I may have hit a small vessel, but you should definitely talk to your nurse and let her know what’s going on with you. Best wishes.

miner_79 (Chris): CONGRATS!!!! All these BFPs are boosting my PMA!!!! All the best hun!

babyluv: This is your time. Enjoy that rest that you’re able to get in. It’s always nice to have some family or friends around during the wait time.

drboots: stims!!!! You’re on your way! Yaaaayyyy! Keep us posted on how you’re doing.

AFM: I’m done with the meds to kick start AF….took the last pill on Sat and now just waiting for her to come. She better not have me all out in the neighborhood with my slippers on like I was a bit ago! It was quite embarrassing! C’mon AF, it’s my turn!!! Let’s get this show on the road!!! LOL

For anyone that I missed, I am very sorry. But I’m back now and I won’t let go of my PMA like that again! Love you guys!

Wow I knew I should have checked in over the weekend. Four pages to catch up on...or to try anyway! :roll:

Sara/rayofsunshine Congrats on your BFP how wonderful! Let us know what the beta is. I will hope it is really high and your secret wish for twins comes true!

Libby Congrats on joining the PUPO team! 8) Settle in little ones and give your mommy a BFP!

Chris/Miner Yay for a nice solid Beta!!!! :mrgreen: It will hit your DH soon enough that you will soon have a sweet little baby to hold. Congrats on being pregos and I find it very encouraging that we already have so mnay BFP's in our group

Heeks Which brings me to say...Congrats on you also being prego! Wow 3 BFP's so far is such a good sign for the rest of us. Let us know how your Beta goes!

Kim I second and third the other girls about talking to your RE about the bleeding after the PIO. In the mean time I use to work in animal medicine and when we gave a shot and it bleed we would apply a lot of pressure or pinch off the area to make it stop quickly. Make sure you husband has a cloth handy and have him apply as much pressure to the area as possible as soon as he pulls the needle out. Might help but check with your RE.

Marci How is the tidal wave doing? Has it receeded at all yet? I'm hoping it has. Do you start your stims today?

Drboots Congrats on starting stims today! Good luck and hopefully everything goes smoothly. Grow follies grow!

Sorry if I know there are many others, but I'm having a hard time catching up on the four pages of posts. Please know that I am thinking of all of you.

AFM - My stims are going ok as far as my nurse keeps telling me. She mentioned on Friday that the Repronex will cause hot, painful welts. Well I had to have her check today at my BW appt because my one from Sat is larger then a tennis ball! :shock: She assured me this is normal and that I could try using benedryl cream to help with some of the swelling and redness. Then lastnight I was trying to dial my follistim and it wouldn't bring that little drop to the tip. So I dialed all the way to the end like the nurse had shown me if I go past my dosage. I started to push it back down and then realized that all this medication was pouring down the end of the pen! :oops: :oops: :oops: By the time I realized it I was at my dosage level so I just gave myself the shot and then cried because I was so frustrated. My DH said it would be ok that the insurance would pay for another cartridge (which the nurse ordered this morning for me). Still what went wrong? It worked fine on Saturday. Oh and I watched UP with my DH yesterday and cried 3 times during the movie so I guess the hormones are doing their job in that department. Ok sorry for rambling! I love you all and will check in again soon!

Chris, Heeks, and Sara - Congratulations on BFPs!!!!!

Marci - Is AF gone yet? I will be looking for her at the end of next week...lol!

AFM - Waiting for nurse to call me back to tell me if I stop BCP on 3/21. Insurance approved the FET so that's good. I think that's all they were waiting for and then I will be waiting for AF to start estrogen and patches. This FET seems pretty easy and not stressful. I don't need DH for anything lol. I don't have to stress about him having to work on ER day like last 2 fresh cycles. Is everyone getting terrible rain like we are in Boston? My basement flooded for the first time. DH and I had a great night with that! Good luck to everyone!

hopeforbabies omg during my last 2WW me and DH decided to rent UP because we thought it would be a nice happy cartoon...wow...who knew it would be about infertility and lost dreams? i cried throughout the whole damn thing. even the talking dog couldnt make me laugh! everyone kept telling me what a great movie it was...the whole time i kept looking at DH and screaming "this is a horrible movie!!" haha seriously...pretty heavy stuff for a kids movie!!
oh and ive had the same thing happen to me with my gonal-f pens before when i went to prime them...the "drop" wouldnt come out of the needle and then when i would try to do it again a huge squirt of the damn stuff would go flying all over my kitchen table!! ahhhhh thats liquid gold!! i'm glad they are ordering you a new pen. also when i was on repronex i would also get big bruises and welts....what we will go through for our BFP's huh??

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I have been MIA...I have been checking constantly but the last two days came down with a bad head cold :twisted: I can't seem to catch a break but I took off most of today from work (just got in the office for a few hours) and I did acupuncture this morning so I'm feeling a litle better!! I bought a netti pot but am so nervous to use it!!! I hate the feeling of water up my nose!!!

Turtle-cool that you got to meet Gordon!! I actually met him a few times when I went to UVM and he would randomly jump on stage to play with bands and then he would hang out afterwards and always hit on young girls!!! Only one more week of BCP's for you!!! YEAHH!!! I'm going to POAS but trying to figure out when so that I don't get disapointed. I was thinking Thursday which would put me at 8dp3td but knowing myself I will probably cheat and do Wednesday!!

Sarah/Heeks/Chirs-CONGRATS mamas!! way to start of this board!! it must be lucky because the past two I was on started with BFN's so I have a good feeling about this one!!

Lauren-the FET is SOOO much easier on the body than a fresh IVF cycle. Fingers crossed you get to stop BCP's on Sunday!!

Kim-I'm also a bleeder after PIO...I always know from DH's reaction if it's bad or not!!! My RE said it's probably just a vein and not to worry to much about it!! I'm rooting for Hans and Solo!!!

hopeforbabies-sorry to hear about the welts :evil: That sounds painful and hopefully they get smaller as your body gets more used to the medicine. My bestfriend just watched UP Saturday night and wrote as her Facebook status that she cried the entire movie!!!! I was watching Guilanna & Bill last night and they are going through infertility and I also teared through the entire episode which is pretty cheesy!!!

Latrell-AF DANCE!!

Libby-three 6d blasts?!?!!? You go girl!!! how are you feeling?

Drboots-YAH for starting stims!! grow follies grow!!

AFM...Went in again this morning for an SnS and my levels STILL look good so I have everything crossed this is my time!! I go back in Wednesday for another check and as I said before I will probably give in to the evil sticks around Wednesday!!!
