PMA - I am so sorry. I know there are no words that can express the disappointment and heartache that you must feel. Just wanted to let you know that my heart goes out to you.

I had my baseline U/S yesterday. They found a large follicle cyst and said they might have to cancel cycle since it looked like the bcp/lupron did not do its job. I was so upset! They did bw and said if the estrodial level is above 50 that meant it was an active follicle and cycle would be canceled. If the level was below, then we would keep going. I got the call that it was less than 20...yeah...it means it is inactive and I was given the green light to start stimming on Monday the 25th. Plus, last time at my baseline U/S they only saw 13 tiny follicles, this time they found 22, so I am really hoping that I have a better egg harvest then before. Last time I didn't have any left to freeze and we are praying and hoping for some frosties, since we can't afford another fresh cycle after this one. I am excited and scared, especially since this board has not had any BFPs...come on Rio and Purple, bring us some good news!!

Lisacd- What a scare! Those bumps in the cycle are so stressful, I am so glad everything worked out well, 22 follies is great! lots of mature eggs - grow follies grow!!!

Msthomas - welcome! you just joined a great board!

purple - any news of your BFP?

PMA - loved the Koi fish cake, I was thinking a cake with a koi on top but the whole cake was a koi - that was really cool! I also loved the wrapped gift cake! Oh welcome to the world of babyproofing! I learned there is no such thing :shock: It is amazing what they can find and get into even when you thought you had it all figured out!

bei - thank you! How are you doing on stimms? When do you have another US? Grow follies!

PAFA - lots of mature eggs and good fert report tomorrow! Let us know!

Tammy - you are a doll to stop by!

my #was 132.1 which he said was great. I go back on Monday for a second level check. He said my estrogen and progesterone were not high enough to stop the shots and pills, so I will have those for a little longer.

Purple - I am so happy for you that I even started crying. I know we don't know each other, but our IVF journey makes us all feel connected to each other. You have given the rest of us news we needed to hear!!! The news of BFPs helps us as we stab ourselves everyday with crazy hormones and give our doctors very large checks!!!!
