Rubylee - good luck with DH's biopsy - sending you good thought!!

Rinnie and LoveBug - so glad your ETs went well - and congrats on being PUPO!! I am hoping to join you very soon!!

Turtles - Sorry to hear your news, and here's hoping your cycle won't be cancelled. I will be praying for you!

JDC and jharris - great news on your ERs!! I can't wait to hear the good fert reports - I know how painful it is waiting to hear!

ForMaggie - glad you are responding well - hope you get lots of eggs!

As for me, I am hanging in there. Been checking for my message all morning and it never came so I went to acupuncture, which helped calm me down, checked when I got back and nothing. Finally I got the message a few minutes ago but it said the lab did not want to check the embryos today because they didn't want to take them out of the incubator every day, so they would check tomorrow morning and RE would let me know if transfer would be tomorrow or if they will wait a few more days. Has anyone ever heard of this?! I am trying not to be paranoid, but it's making me nervous not knowing!!!

Yeah!!! JDC I'm so happy for you, that's great news. Just believe!!
Let us know how they fertilize & you'll be PUPO before you know it :)

Turtles I'm so sorry! I can only imagine how frustrating it is. Let us know what they say & I'm saying a prayer.

cocos that's a great book...really fascinating how it all works. I am such a believer!

Maggie I'm glad you're stimming well!!! Thanks for all your good wishes....I love those images :)

IrishHope Get on with it already!! :wink: I'd be going crazy.

jharris12 Congrats on your 10, that's the perfect number! Keep us posted & rest.

Dakota Yep, the pictures were amazing! i got lots of side effects this time to, although no headache. Nausea and craziness .My boobs are huge and tender too. Poor dh...they are under wraps :)

I am on my 48 hr bedrest & a little bored at this point. But it's all good!
POAS....hmmmmmmmmm My beta is May 23rd, so maybe I'll do it a little earlier. I read that they imbed themselves 6-10 days after transfer, with ET being day 0, so they may not be truly in there until the 20th.

LB Yes,my lab does that...I guess they don't do as well being disturbed all the time. They take them out and look the morning of the 3rd day, so I didn't know for sure about ET until 2 hrs before.
Good luck!...PUPO very soon

My frostie report:

5 day blasts

4BB

6 day blasts
4BB
4BA
3BC

The lab told me that the last 3 ones don't have much of a chance, but the others are pretty good so Me and DH feel like proud parents for the first time!

SDtrying You are so funny! You POAS already? I thought I was addicted. I love it! Congrats on the frosties. I am so happy for you :D

Rinnie any thought about if/when you are? I am thinking I am going to try to make it until next Thursday. My b/w is on the 23rd, so I am only in a 1 1/2 week wait as it is. Isnt yours the sae day?

LB DH and I knew nothing until the day of. They called the night before and because we only had 2, we were pretty certain that we would have a 3dt. Baby Dust!!!!

JDC
You sound like you have a wonderful DH. You made me smile with your last post. You sound like a proud mom already. I hope you and your DH get everything you want :D :D

Kimmysq:
Thanks for the kind words. The cycle goes by fast. You will have your BFP soon!!!

I am feeling crampy today. I know its too soon for AF, but I am hoping the OHSS doesnt creep up on me!

LoveBug, I think you, me and Rinnie all have our Beta's on the same day!!

May 23rd, right? How exciting.

I'm glad my indiscriminate peeing on sticks makes you smile- soon I will start marking the furniture :) (ok, sorry that was a little gross :lol: )

Sticky dust to you! I hope the cramping improves, but I've heard cramping after is a good sign!

Hey everybody. I'm feeling okay after my ER, as long as I'm sitting still! Once I get up and move around my stomach starts cramping. And I start my PIO shot tonight. Is it worse than the trigger shot? Anyway, I guess I will have to wait and see how I feel in the morning to decide if I'm going in to work. Not knowing if I will have a 3 or 5 day transfer, I don't want to take off tomorrow if I end up needing off work the the ET Monday.

So now to catch up a little...

dakota: I wish I would get my fert report tomorrow. It's going to be a long 2 days. And you started Lupron, that's past boring now!! I started a couple days after coming off BCP's, so I ended up a couple days ahead of their intial schedule, so yeah, it can change!

kimmysq: AZ to CA?? And here I hate my 45 minute ride to my RE's office! Good luck!

JDC: Congrats on your 3 eggs! How are you feeling now? Do you know if you will have a 3 or 5day transfer?

LB: My RE isn't going to tell me anything for 2 days either. I won't have a clue how many fertilized, or when the ET will be until Friday. Everybody talks about the dreaded 2ww, I will have the dreaded 2daywait! I'm right here with you though!!

Rinnie: I like the perfect 10 thought! Thanks! Hope your boredom goes away soon! How are you feeling?

SD: Congrats again on your little frosties!

LoveBug: Good luck to you. I hope the OHSS doesn't come for you either.

To all those I've missed, I hope you are all doing great! Talk to you all later!

Well, finally got the call and they canceled my cycle. I had no idea I would be a poor responder. I thought I would do great since my problem has always been my tubes. Anyway, next time they are going to have me on a microdose Lupron flare protocol. This means less shots since I only do Lupron a couple of days before stims I think. :) The nurse said that if I start AF soon then I can get in the clinics June cycle. Oh please have me start really, really soon. Do you guys know anything to make you start faster :wink: After I found out I was canceled I went out to buy a bunch of chocolate and a Barq’s root beer. I will have a big glass of wine and a long hot bath to relax tonight.

For Maggie – Glad you are responding good. That is great. Hope everything is smooth sailing for you. Make sure you buy some stretchy pants or loose dresses. I got really bloated. Love that elastic waistband :)

Love Bug, Rinnie, Karen and SDTrying – Hope the 2ww flies by and you all get BFP!!!

JDC and Jharris – Alright on the ER. Great job you guys. Hope they fertilize for you. Wishing you lots of luck.

Cocosmama – hmm, maybe I will try AP.

Dakota – I started AF a few days after stopping BCP. The nurse told me to expect it and it didn’t change my cycle at all. I think it moved Jharris schedule up some though. I think every clinic is different.

Sorry for anyone I have missed. I am still pretty scattered at the moment.Hopefully I will get to go in June and still be on this board. I will stick around and check up on you guys.

Hugs and Much love for you, turtle!

You are right that you have great chances- you are a great age and its only your tubes. I am REALLY optimistic about a better response with a more personalize protocol. I know it doesn't make it any better right this moment, but the hope will help (along with the root beer, chocolate hot bath and glass of wine!!) Oh dear, but you forgot the bubble bath or srubbing salt- that sounds so good! Just spoil yourself rotten, heal your body, heart and soul from this difficult process. Heal up strong and come out fightin' for your next round in June. We'll be here for you, ready with your world championship belt when you have your success.
