Marci - so glad you are feeling better! work, schmerk. you've got more important things to take care of. :) don't forget to add eggplant to your shopping list...heehee.

Lauren - thanks, I am feeling pretty good 2dpt. i can't believe your ins. makes you use the frosties first! do they pay the cryo fees? mine doesn't cover the cryo fees, so i'd be pretty annoyed if they wanted me to use the frosties first. either way, i feel lucky to have any insurance to cover all these procedures and meds. it makes things alot less stressful.

DrBoots - thanks! and holy cow that's a lot of rain you got on the island. thru the chimney?? crazy.

Sara - OMG, that's an awesome beta! i can't wait to hear what your second one is tomorrow. with your birthday next week, what a great present! i am relaxing, btw, letting those embabies burrow right in. i can totally convince myself i can feel them doing it. ;)

bei - so nice to hear from you again! take your time, we'll be here when you're ready. :) :)

Helene - thank you, i will be happy with one healthy baby (we don't have any children yet)...i can't even imagine having 6 at this point. but maybe if this works out, i will allow myself to dream a little more. how are you feeling? your beta is coming up soon, right?

latrell22 - YAY!!!! it's about time that biatch showed herself! ;) now on to start the needle extravaganza!

babyluv - your outing with the Tokmok mommies sounds nice and it's always a bonus to find out someone famous is nice & normal too! i don't have any symptoms either, though i swear i can "feel" the embies implanting. :roll: i'm a little nutty...

kim - yay for gush-free shots! everyone likes that. wow, transfer day is coming up very soon! come on lil embie! momma's waiting! got everything crossed for you and will have to invent an embie thaw dance. our dances on this board seem to do well. :wink:

Tammy - woohoo for AF! Marci's finally starting giving hers away. very smart of you to not take on hosting Easter! hope little Zach is doing well.

Teresa - it's not too early to see follies. at the same point in my current cycle, i had over 20 (less than 10mm) follies. it just depends on your personal response to the stims. everyone is different.
good vibes coming your way!

franny - hang in there girl, the waiting is almost over. i can totally empathize - it felt like forever waiting for this cycle to start. are you going back to acupuncture?

claudia - hope you feel better soon! or maybe i'll wish that your head cold morphs into morning sickness??? :)

lou71 - congrats to you! those are great betas!

sessford - are you still there and did you have your beta today?

angela - yay for starting stims!! boy there will be a bunch of you stimming together!

mcfarland - welcome! you are stimming for a whole month or more? wow. :shock:
happy thoughts right back!

heeks - thanks! my beta is 3/23. can't wait to hear your beta result on friday!


AFM, nothing new here. Just trying not to analyze every little thing I feel in the uterus area...and failing miserably. :) PMA is high though! Spring is here in B-more! Marci, can you update my beta day to 3/23? Thanks for keeping the status chart up-to-date.

Supergenius - Thanks and yes I pray it works for you. My BETA is on Monday... can't wait... still NOTHING on the pee stick :) Hey your BETA is only one day after mine woowoo!!

Supergenius - Thanks for the tip on turning off this intruder... did any of you do it? I am tempted...

Heekinje - Can't wait for your BETA... :)

Yes happy St-Patrick's Day... The only reason I know it's cause my kids said they had to dress in white and gree today... of course we have nothing green really for anyone except for the 4yo... if I would have known I would have gotten them stuff from the triff store for fun?? Too bad.

good morning everyone!

claud how are you feeling? so sorry to hear about the neti pot disaster! i've heard it works really well, but ive never tried it. i hope your cold is going away. so did you give into those evil sticks yet? i think its still too early, but that doesnt mean i wouldnt be reaching for something to pee on either! good luck, and let me know what happens!

libby you sound nice and calm...exactly how you should be!! keep it up! its crazy because i'm just so looking forward to getting off these pills that i'm not even thinking about starting stims yet. one step at a time right? i'm actually going back to acupuncture tomorrow. i'm excited to get back!

opps...didnt realize the time...i gotta go...i will finish up personals later i promise!!!

Ok.... I can now post because I have a schedule! YAY! I start Lupron tonight. FET is scheduled for April 19-21. I really hope this works, this is our last attempt and then we are adopting! I can not put anymore money towards something that isn't going to give me a baby! I am at peace with the fact that it may not work and will be okay with adopting since I do have Jack and he is my little miracle. But all fingers are crossed for this FET to work!

Rlk1-- awesome...I will be thinking about you tomorrow!

Congrats to all those with BFPs already! I have been reading, just not posting!

Hi Ladies!

I've been reading since the beginning and what a wonderful group of ladies we have here! I was on the Jan/Feb board, but my IVF cycle was canceled because they didn't find any sperm from my DH on day on ER. So, we were back to the drawing board! DH and I finally made a decision and decided to move forward with donor sperm. I actually feel really good about it now...which is exciting! We just made a decision last night on the donor, from a sperm bank, which is exciting. I think it is a really good match. So, we've decided to move forward with this cycle. i won't be doing IVF, but IUI. I know this is a IVF forum, but I am just really looking for support and hope I can join on this journey!

And...I have lost my AF. I think it is all screwed up from just getting off of all the drugs from IVF last month...has anyone had a similar situation? She was suppose to come on 3/14...where is she? So, once I get AF, then I will start clomid and do a trigger shot, so I'm doing a medicated IUI cycle.

Please let me join!

Much love, Lisa

Neffi - you know what! They say there is more success with FET then Fresh IVF and the reason behind it is the stress with ER and stimming ladies go through to achieve pregnancy. So I would not give up so fast on your little frosties... they might surprise you.

Tiger
- Welcome to the group the more the merrier... I am fairly new but the ladies around here are just amazing and they are just such good cheering ladies they will boost your energy and positivity up your IUI is going to work..

I have a question for you about sperm bank? How do they work do you see a profile (medical into, photos etc) or are they annonymous and what is the price approx for that?? Just curious.

Have a good day

Hello all!

My second beta came in-684 :mrgreen: :mrgreen: The nurse asked how I felt about twins-she said we couldn't know anything for sure until u/s but... I laughed because I would love it and DH would have a heart attack!! We'll see :lol:

Kim-Can tomorrow hurry up already?! I am super excited and anxious for you! I hope everything goes smoothly-I know it will :wink:

Claudia-Are you resisting the urge to POAS? St. Patrick's Day should bring a little luck, right?! I'm praying for only good news for you!

Libby-It is impossible not to analyze everything! Not too much longer until the "official" news-can't wait!

Marci-Are you back among the land of the living? Don't sweat missing work-they owe you some time off 8) Don't you love this beautiful (ha,ha) rainy weather-I'm over it!

Tammy-April 5th seems forever far away but it will be here before you know it! I can't believe we are past the middle of March already.

Neffi-Yeah for a schedule (it is hard to be in limbo). I know it is hard to hold much hope but we are all hoping for a miracle-and they do happen!

Tiger-So sorry you went through a cancelation-it just sucks! We are so glad you've joined us. We had to use donor eggs-it seems like once you make a decision like that it gives renewed hope-this is your cycle! Best wishes to you.

Heeks-Hurry Friday hurry! I need someone to overanalyze beta numbers with me! I am with you on the constant tiredness-I napped for 2 hours yesterday-YIKES. What will I do when I go back to work?! I have never heard of the heat sensitivity symptom-crazy. Maybe your head is getting the hotflashes your body misses from the good old days of stimming-hee,hee! I looked at betabase too-I've decided the numbers can be such a crazy range that I won't be convinced until u/s.

To all the lovely ladies-have a wonderful day :) I am sending PMA your way!
