Awaiting Treatment

[pequele]

I did not break the board

im hurt that you think i did it - i always get the blame for things in this place

uh huh uh huh

I'm just kidding sweetie! I wuv u

Thanks for the job congrats. I'm glad yours is getting better. I totally know about the far commute sucking. When I was in pharmacy school my commute was 2 hrs. I vowed NOT to do that when I started working! I LOVE my short commute. But like one of the jobs I was to interview with next week (I'm not gonna now that I have this new position) it was perfect hours wise 8-4 M-F no holidays no weekends (hard to find in health care!) OMG that would be PERFECT!!! But it is at least an hour away and in the winter the road is not fun with hills and curves. So it would mean I'd likely have to move...not something I really wanna deal with. So sure every job will have the goods and bads right. It isn't gonna matter anyways for ya cuz in less than a year you will be out on maternity anyways

Oh Angel!

I'm sorry you feel like total crap! I bet it isn't the stims, it is the cooties running around. Like Steph said, stay hydrated, electrolytes (do you have Gatorade there? Even Pedialyte would be good). Does your doc know how sick you have been? I doubt it will effect your embies, I'd just be worried your body is fighting a bug later when you have transfer...but by then you will be feeling GOLDEN! So rest up now...heck you may be off work for the next month so you can heal AND let your embies snuggle in

Hi ladies,

Steph, congrats on the job, i take it the money drop was ok in the end? just sorry you have to wait so long.

Chriss, so sorry you are feeling down, hope your next IVf works as it should. Hugs

Angel, hope you feel better soon, good luck on Monday.

Shantala/rachel, hope your both hanging in there ok, bet your both nice and round now.

su, i got a little cheat scan at 14 weeks when i saw the consultant as he wanted to check there were definately 2 in there. i mean 4 previous scans can't be right can they!! can't wait for the 20 week as dH says i can start shopping then. Mines on March 5th, do you have a date yet?

Nimble, how you doing/ hope all is still going well.

becky, sorry about the job, glad you are enjoying the new one a bit better. no scan for me this week but i did get to hear the heartbeats,DH is going to buy a doppler shews amazed at it. so i will be able to listen tomy hearts content.

Angie/icsi, i am so sorry your Dr gave you such a hard time. seems like he is more bothered about his stats than your situation, I would definately arrange a second opinion. regarding that he treat you for problems arising from implantation, we are not all the same and may need different quantities of the said drugs to assist with the implantation, this is only going to be known through the tests. Eg: i have factor V leiden (clotting) but only in 1 gene (from 1 parent)so 75mg aspirin is enough for me, however if you have this problem in both genes chances are you would need more blood thinning treatment ie: heparin to help with implantation. Hope this helps, please keep the faith you are so close, all that is needed is to find out why you are not holding on to the embies. i did consider pdg testing but was waiting till all other results were in, this was for my benefit so i could put closure on it all, luckily i neber needed it. Good luck and hope you feel beter soon.

Sorry to all i've missed, but got to go do some more work. take care all.

Hey I did not see any pics of the nursery, who's nursery? Am I blind? Steph mentioned something about a nursery.

[pequele]

Steph- Shantala put them up on her facebook page.

I'm so thrilled to have to go to hell today

Its not fair Everyone seems to get more scans than me. My 20 week scan is on 20th March, it already seems so long since the 12 week one. Yes I think I'll start shopping properly after that (I've bought a couple of bits already) 20th March is the day before Easter so we've got a long weekend then I'm off for a week so will have plenty of time on my hands

Shantala, the nursery looks gorgeous

Hi,

Feel better Angel. Best luck on Monday.

AF cam this morning at 5 am, waking me up with nagging pain. Real bad one. Put the heating pad on and cried a little. Burnt my stomach. When I woke up there were red blotches all over from too much heat. Should I worry? It's back to normal now. Sooooo, BFN for me. Will begin meds right away. RE says it's ok cause I only had a few follicles. Looks like we are still in it for the long haul. But it's very tough. Have about three more cycles in me if necessary, then if that fails... maybe DE if we can scrape up the money. My FSH is pretty high, that signifies low ovarian reserve as well as old eggs. BUt... miracles do happen. Keeping the faith.

Sorry no personals. I'm pretty sour at the moment.
Thinking of you all. Hoping the best. Love, -chriss

[pequele]

Chriss I'm sorry! Be careful and don't burn yourself girl!!! I highly recommend those thermacare heat patches though...they make an menstrual one and though I have never used that one I have used the neck and back ones OFTEN! I love them as much as pee sticks

Hugs
Steph

[waitingforMia]

I am inbetween classes and wanted to say I am sorry AF came Chrissy-poo. But that is no reason to go and burn yourself! I always am afriad I will fall asleep, so I usually wait until it is hot and then turn it off and sleep. I am glad you can start the IVF right away. Have they thought of trying different stimm meds?

[Jen1d]

Oh Chriss, i'm so sad to hear your newsam here if you need a chat, know only to well what your feeling.


Angel - for Monday

Am ok, not sleeping great and getting some headaches but think thats due to stress and worry. It is my birthday today---how depressing 38----but hey, i stopped counting at 30
Went out with dh for a meal and it was so nice to chill and dare i say it, chat about the adoption, which at least we know will definately get us a baby whereas ivf was never a definate.
Got a lot of work to do tomorrow as we have to have so much paperwork done every week for the s/w---its like a book and will take us right up to the Panel date to complete it-----nightmare.

Catch up more soon when i feel a bit stronger. Hope your all having a good weekend.

Love Jen x

[stephjim]

Hey all
Chriss, I am soo sorry about your AF coming. But at least you sound kind of strong and positive and moving forward. And remember there are three settings on most heating pads so don't try to burn yourself over it.

Jen good luck with all the paperwork. It will all be soooo worth it really soon. We are here for you.

Angel, good luck Monday looking forward to hearing from you.

Shantala I need to look on facebook at your nursery pics I am sure they are beautiful.

I just got back from going with Nicole, my stepdaughter, to see Fool's Gold. That was a funny movie. I definitely recommend it they just did not show any Matthew butt. I was very disappointed in that but plenty of abs so that helped.

[ICSI GIRL]

jen1 --- HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!! sorry you're still not feeling back to your normal self just keep putting one foot in front of the other..... each day really DOES get a little better....and when you finally bring home your lil one --- it will have all been worth the journey.....chin up sweetie.....

jayne -- thanks so much for info on the factor v thing.....have actually done some research about it....in fact, doc treated me VERY aggressively and i did have aspirin AND lovenox (blood thinner)..... wonder if its possible to do TOO MUCH??? got me thinkin now...will have to do some more research.....

beck --- we ALL know who broke the damn board (STEPH!!!) ha, ha, ha... we know you didnt' do it....hey - have you been keepin up w/ american idol??? we've got a gal from dublin in the top 12 of the girls -- she's really amazing!!! always think of my bff's across the pond when she comes on....

chriss ---- i'm so sorry hun on a positive note, hopefully jumping back into next round will hurry along the hurt into something more positive..... hang in there girl....remember what you told me --- keep going as long as your heart tells you to..... i'm walking-talking proof that each day really does get better....we're here for you.

mia --- so very happy for ya girl....did ya get your 2nd beta results back???

stephjim --- i'm jealous that you went to see fools gold!!! anything with matthew m is YUMMY!!! he's got baby on the way w/his girlfriend --- that baby is going to be GORGEOUS!!!!!

angel -- so sorry you've been feelin icky...that sucks!! GOOD LUCK for monday!! let us know how it goes.....

hope -- where are you girl?? oh wait - is it weekend WITH dss's??? thinking of you........

steph --- hope hell wasn't too bad......i would say that i'll be around when you get home tonight, but i'll probably be sleeping --sorry.....

WELL -- as you can see, i am feeling a bit back to my old self.....thank GOD....now if my dh would just stop pissing me off i know we all deal w/ this whole ivf process differently -- especially MEN, but my dh and i are a bit more unique than most -- he is 20 yrs older than me and has 2 teenage boys from prior marriage....and while he KNEW and we fully discussed the whole baby thing prior to us getting married - is now becoming an "issue" -- seems as though he is "fed up" w/ the whole process and cuz of what doc said about recommending gestational carrier -- he now thinks that i cannot carry a child and is ready to throw the towl in......well i'm sorry, but i am NOT ready to give up!!! Am currently not speaking to him...turd! I'm sure we'll work thru it, but i'm none too impressed with him at the moment.....

On a brighter note --- I MADE APPT W/ THE OTHER CLINIC!!!! I was able to beg and plead for ANY opening this next week (my boss is off on vaca all week and so won't "miss" me as i'm away).....i even got the doc i wanted ---- and it's a SHE!!! i'm super excited about the fact that it's a SHE.....not many female RE's out there!! (least not in my neck of the woods).......i have like 20 pages of paperwork to fill out and they WANTED me to bring all my medical records -- but don't think i can get them before appt....that's ok though --- i "know" my case, and should be able to adequately summarize w/ new doc.....I'M SO EXCITED!!!!! i'm not even asking dh if he wants to come with....he can stay at home and i'll just tell him the day(s) i need him for his "sample" and life will be good!!

LOVE & HUGS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!

[Miracle08]
