Hi Jen
Not my issue is a good motto you have played your part as the loyal employees stating what you knew and that they best prepare so now the ball falls in there court and not your problem. As always things like this have to happen to make us stress but you know what at the end of the day it all works out, just remember that.
Regarding my appointment it was disappointing as I am not ready yet they lowered my doses to be safe with the pcos and so now I am back to normal dosages and maybe now everything will be ok. Fingers crossed triggering on Wednesday and the then collection on Friday but I am not holding my breath now when the time is right then so be it other wise I am only hurting myself with the disappointment but it is only a minor set back it is all good. Again these things happen.

Well, she let me know today that they finally hired another employee so it wont be a problem to take a vacation day on the 17th for hubbys appointment. That made me feel a little better.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and hope you'll be ready to trigger on wednesday!!!
Update
I had some rather dispaointing news of my own today. My IVF coordinatior called with some advice from an RE within the practice (mine is out on vacation and she is taking over his cases). She is suggesting that we not go further with this cycle and that I lose 30lbs before starting another cycle. I'm absolutly devistated! There is no way I'm going to be able to lose 30lbs in a month! I feel like I've lost hope of having a positive outcome. I just wanted to share my news even though it wasn't what I expected to hear today .
Hey Girls,
How is everybody going?
Posting is a bit quite I suppose you are all enjoying the sunshine. We really can’t complain down here the weather has still been nice not quite what you would call winter temperatures still hitting the high teens.
Jen glad to hear that your company grew some brains and hired someone,that is great news see told you we just had to have a moment of stress but it was all going to work out.
Only a few more days now for hubby’s appointment. Another step closer. Hope all goes well.
There is no need to feel disappointed Jen they all say to lose a bit of weight they don’t know why but this helps. My dr said to lose a kg or two for that same reason, and hey it wouldn’t hurt seeing how big our belly’s are going to grow. Have you seen the size of some of these pregnant woman, I nearly fall over sometimes questioning how they are even able to walk or should I say twaddle. Shouldn’t laugh now should we seeing that, that is what we are aiming for.
Well Wednesday was a night of activity as first we had to have the last dosages of the usual medications then two hours later we had to trigger, glad all that is over as I was really starting to feel that I was hitting breaking point, silly hormones I know but what can you do you just have to finish what you started.
Had the embryo transfer on Monday so now it is the waiting game. So far I am handling it all quite well as they said that this can be a real testing time for me.
Well that is my update as I said hope that you are all well, and that you girls who a cutting down on the fags are doing well as that is a testing time on it’s own and having to deal with IVF also is a double.
Again Jen good luck on the 17th, keep us posted.
Hi everyone! So today was my big Lupron day. I know i am a few steps behind most of y'all, but am very excited about my next stage in this journey. The IVF Coordinator made me administer my first injection, in the event my husband can't do it at times. I was very very nervous, but after about 5 minutes of them coaching me, I did it. And it wasn't bad at all. I am glad that the first shot is behind me, and I am looking forward to the last shot as well!
I will continue to keep you guys posted as things progress.

Hey guys. I am too tired to post my whole story right now but I wanted to drop by and thank you for keeping the thread going. I'll try to post it soon. Hope you all are doing well and are on track !
Christin, it is funny as we have all experience the excitement and fear at the same time syndrome time and time again.
I know what you mean about feeling nervous with the injections did you get to practise on this skin like cushion thing? It is weird as you feel that there is more that you are suppose to do or something but once you do it, it is like is that it. I didn’t find that the needles them selves hurt it was more the sting afterwards that would bother me sometime they would last for about 5 minutes which of course felt like a lot longer. You wait to you feel the excitement of having the last injections for the last time but then you have the fear of the trigger one but again nothing to worry about.
Jen by the sounds of your post you are upset, get your rest and when you are ready you can talk about it. We all have our moments, I mean us girls have these crazy hormones that make us laugh and cry and then these guys want to mess them all up and send you around the bend, and they do. Towards the end I kinda felt that I had this complete breakdown down as all I did way cry and my husband is like what is wrong with you and I am just leave me alone it was horrible and a but frightening for my husband as he is like what has happened to you.
Well I hope that you are feeling better since you lasted posted and remember that we are here for you if you need us.
As for me a week of the waiting game has already past, so one week down and one week to go. I am doing well for now, my mum is driving me a bit mad she wants to do everything for me god love her. Other then that all is well. Will keep you posted take care xoxoxo
Ok, so Friday hubby was scheduled for his testicular biopsy. We get into the room and they start prepping him for the procedure when the doctor walks in and tells us that we need to stop. His staff made a mistake and didn't schedule hubby for a consultation first. As per RE's request we were just going in for the testicular biopsy no consultation and no testing just the biopsy. At this point I am just livid! I can't believe the incompetence of these two offices which are right next to each other. I started crying and getting really upset in the office; the nurse tried to console me but I was just too angry. Can you believe this??? I thought we were supposed to trust our RE and their staff which I did at first but now I just don't know. I tried calling my coordinator when we got home but we've been playing phone tag since. The cherry on top was all the crap I went through to take that day off and for what...NOTHING! They did take blood to test his hormone levels and we are just waiting for the results to see what the next step is. He said possibly Clomid for the next 3 months but we'll see.

I really hope your doing well with your 2ww. What have you been doing with yourself during this time? Did your RE give you a list of what not to do during your 2ww? Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Jen I had a feeling that you being upset was something to do with your husbands appointment. I am sorry to hear that it did not go according to plan. What is wrong with these people???? Is there another clinic that you can go to because I think that is what I would be seriously considering I mean during your ivf process you want to feel that you have confidence in them and they where not going to stuff things up there. Your husband must have been furious as getting men to do these things is a struggle they are pretty good at telling us that we will be fine but when the situation is reverse what a different story it is.
No they didn’t give me a list of do’s and dont’s but I took it upon my self to take it easy. For some reason I was tired for the first couple of days not sure if that was because I was actually taking the time to relax instead of stressing at work and everything just catching up with me. Next Monday is the big day so we will see.
My head space is a bit all over as part of me is excited and the other part I am reminding myself that there maybe disappointment ahead also. Time will tell, I am dealing with it better then I thought that I would be but I guess my hormones are settling as well which makes a difference.
Hope everyone is well and lets all keep our chin up and solider on, take care xoxo
