Awaiting Treatment

[Hope644]

Morning Ladies -

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Just a real quicky from me -

JenBabes - Thinking of you and hoping all went well with your FET!! Please give us a report as soon as you can! STICKY EMBIES STICK!!!

Chriss - Thinking of you too, dear... praying all goes well for your ER tomorrow and you have an excellent fertilization report to give us!!!

Becky - Praying all goes well with your surgery on Wed. Let us know how it goes and how you are feeling. And you know you DO want to go thru this again!!

Stephjim, how's the Lupron going?? Getting any hot flashes yet?

Steph - When is the U/S - tomorrow??? I'm sure all will be perfect and you'll see little flickering ones in there!!

No big news for me. The nurse called on Sat after my appt and said that while I had plenty of follies, my estrogen level wasn't as high as they'd hoped... so they up'd my dose for Sun & Mon to 225 Gonal-F. Went back in today for 2nd BW/US. They are growing still, waiting for BW results this afternoon to see if I have to continue higher dose or decrease. If I don't decrease, they will probably have to send me more meds, as I don't have that much left. Oh well, still on track for either a Sun or Mon ER.


Hugs to all. Have a great Monday.

Rachel, that does sound like a bit of a scare. So glad that baby is kicking! Please keep us posted. thinking of you and your little one. Thanks for sending the good vibes.

Miracel, hey stranger. How have you been? Missed you last night. I try to get on chat room when I can, DH is a computer hog at night. WE have to fight for it. He's bigger.

Becky, can't even begin to contemplate teenagers! That must be tough! Good luck with bum on Thursday. Don't worry, the doctors see it all! Thinking of you.

Stephjim, my DH makes a bit of a stink about my being online all the time. They just don't get it. He also said some stuff to me about how he thinks I need to go see a counselor about it because it's all I talk about. I said, Well, I know of a fertility counselor who helps COUPLES... so you should go with me! THis is about both of us. But the men (Maybe not all of them) but at least mine, he does not fully understand. He gets mad when I say that he does not understand how it feels... drugs, scans, bloods, etc. He means well. But I just can't turn it off the way he can sometimes. He doesn't understand how this message board has saved me from a nervous breakdown!!! You girls give me strength and for that I am ever grateful!!!

Hope... the good news is that you have lots of follies. Upping the meds should help. We are very close in our cycles. Let us know when you hear back from RE. Thinking of you my sweet.

Well ladies, I am going in for ER tomorrow. Looks like five follies right now. Praying for this miracle. Just called my Re's office to request copies of all my paperwork. (Was scared to do this... don't want them to think I am a traitor) But I made a consult appointmnet with another clinic. This one is very far from me! Even further than the hour away I already drive to my RE. It's all the way in Manhattan, but they have good results with ladies in their 40's. So we are going to sit down with them later next week and hash it out. Want to know what they think. I will still be in my 2ww! Just want to be fully prepared. We also made appointment for DH at fertiltiy urologist. That's not till the week after that. We just need to be as well informed as we can be. Feels like all I do is doctor visits! Also have donor egg consult next week and lots of accupuncture in between. This lady wants a baby!

Hope you are all well. I tried to take a break from this site, but it was too hard. I was so sad about BFN and feeling depressed. THought I could try to turn off the IVF mind and not focus so much on it all, but I can't. I need you guys in my life. Thank you so much for being here for me. I am here for you too. -chriss

Hope- You have a good follie report, so if you need more meds that is ok!!!

Chriss- OMG, I think mine,yours,Stephjim's and Mia's SDH (stupid DH) came from the same shell!!!
DH and I have had a couple of agruments about me being online with ladies. He gets upset with me cause he feels all i think/talk about is babies and our IF. I told him last night, it consumes me. I know it isnt supposed to, but it does. And we are on hold right now, I hate it. I want to have our baby so freaking bad. I starting thing what if it doesnt work... URRRGGHHHH!!! I am such a downer. He was trying to say that it made me more upset talking to you ladies????!!! I was like what??? (because of some girls getting their BFP's) But I told him, it is so different when you hear about all these people getting their preggo and us IF girls FINALLY getting our miracle. Ya know?? I am so happy for each of these women on here getting their BFP. They soooo deserve it. Just like YOU, Chriss. Do NOT feel like a traitor~, you have to do what is best for you. I can tell how much it means to you to be a mommy, so if they make you feel bad, tell em to screw off!!! I am so hoping and praying this is your BFP!!! Keep us update about your new clinic. What is a fertility Urologist? (I get what it is for, but what will he do?)

Take care of yourself Chriss!!!!

OOOOOOOHHHHHHH PEQUELE~~~~ GET UP SLEEPY HEAD!!!!!

[chriss]

Mir,

Thanks for that last post. You put a smile on my face. SDH jsut doesn't understand that we can not control thinking about it. Without this message board, who the heck would I be able to talk with about this? certainly not him. He can only handle it in small doses. Sorry to say to him that IF is my whole life right now... down to what I can wear (because I am always gaining weight from the drugs and I'm always having trouble finding whcih clothes still fit me and don't make me look fat), what I eat (Always trying to eat nutritiously), what I do and don't do (Can't run and work out like I used to and NO alcohol) How can it not consume me? I have completely altared my lifestyle trying to get pregnant and dealing with it. Also... all the frickin doctor visits. I'm there like every day! How can it not consume me? Ok, thanks for letting me vent! I fell MUCH better. See, once agian the message board helped me not have a nervous breakdown.

Ok, fertility urologist is a urologist that specializes in infertility. (No jokes here Steph!) We know DH has low sperm count, morphology, etc. But that's all we know. So we want to make sure that there are no other underlying issues with sperm. I guess we just want to make sure that his sperm can handle the job. We have had a number of IVF BFN's. So we want to check out as much as we can. This could help us decide if we should do DS or DE or keep trying with our own stuff.

I'm sure that it is tough for you to have to keep waiting for your time. But it is getting closer and look girl, you are going to be so well prepared for it! You've been experiencing it with all of us. You will know what to expect and what to ask. You've got this whole team of us behind you to supprt you when your time comes!

Thanks for being you, Mir.

Chriss: I didnt know there were urologists that specialized in fertility! I think that is a great idea to get a consult during the 2ww - hopefully it will make it go by a bit faster. And if I didnt have yall to talk to about all this what would I do??? It is not like dh could handle me talkign about this all the time!!! So they should be happy we have each other!!

Mir - you calling my dh stupid?? j/k lol! I would go crazy if I had to wait as long as you are waiting for your cycle!!! stay strong!

Hope: I think I forgot to say hi to you on the other board!! Glad to hear the follies are good size! You and Chriss will be in the 2ww together! Shall we put money on who can hold off the longest from POAS??

Stephjim: Tell him to join the sdh club It is tough not to dwell on this when we do change so much of our lifestyles to get our bfp - how can we not think about it.

Becks: OMG that i horrible about your daughter - is she grounded for life??? This is the one who wanted to go to that friends place for a week co-ed??? !! Do we all want this?? I know it seems scary. Of course everyone (at least dh and I) think our kids will be perfect!!

Lara; How scary!! is the baby supposed to move 24/7?? I mean when do you know you are supposed to worry?? It never ends does it??

Peqe: How goes it girl?? Have u gone in debt already buying turtle crap... uh I mean stuff for your baby??

NOt much new here - I need to weigh myself - some days I eat fine - others I am pickier than a 4 year old! Have my u/s on Friday - hopefully we will see a strong hb (instead of just a flutter)!!

Chriss,
You are such a sweet person. thank you so much!!! Thank you for being "YOU" too!! Anytime you need to vent, go right ahead!! You are so right, I do not know where I would be without you ladies!! i hope everything goes well at the urologist app! Keep me updated on that too!!!

[stephjim]

Hey all!!! I need someone to rescue me from work!! HELP!!!

Ok, 4 hours and 10 minutes to go and then one more day tomorrow and then Wed doc appt.

Rachael let us know if you go to teh doc again? This is what I found on the internet.

"Kicking" isn't meant literally-- kicking just means any fetal movement.

You want to feel 10 movements per 24 hours. At 8 months, baby is running out of room for the really big movements, but any twists, turns, etc, count. If you get worried eat something or empty your bladder to see if she/he moves then.

[Miracle08]

HI MOMMA MIA!!!!

Haven't talked to you in forever!! How exciting!! Friday, you will see your quads!! Is SDH (LOL) going with you?

I think Steph is out shopping for more turtle crap, oh I mean clothes for her turtle princess as we speak! i thought she was off today and I haven't heard a peep out of her!!

How are you feeling any MS?

[stephjim]

Where is Steph!!!!!?????? Quit shopping there will be nothing left for us.

[chriss]

Hi Mia baby, what's going on? So Friday is your big day, huh? How are you feeling? Is the loss of appetite due to m/s or are you just not feelin' it?

Hi Stephjim, hang in there.

Mia and Miracle, you are right, maybe steph is out shopping for more turtle crap, oh I mean clothes for her turtle princess. Surprised not to hear form her yet. Are we nagging?

Hi everyone. Thinking of you all.

[waitingforMia]

Mir and Chriss: Dont yall love talking about Peqe when she isnt around to give us one of her witty comebacks??

Chriss: I would say Friday is YOUR big day . The appetite for me I think is m/s it isnt really that I am not hungry - but that I am not hungry for what is in my fridge. SO now I am going to the store every day and just buying what I think I will eat. Like today Chalupas But yesterday I wouldnt have touched them! So weird, since I am so not picky! How was ER??? How many did they get?? Did you post about it??

Stephjim: Happy to be out of work??? You are starting to sound like Peqe complaining about work!! And I agree Peqe is gonna buy everything up and there will be nothing for us to buy

Mir: Yes DDH (dear dear husband ) will be with me on Friday. Prob the last time he will go with me to an appt. We'll see. I am getting used to the idea of a singleton though...

Well it is 740 and I am already in bed!! I will be in the chat room for a bit until dh comes to bed. He has the man flu and will prob be in bed early today.

Thanks ladies i did try everything to wake the lil madam up on sunday but she was having none of it but yesterday she was back to normal so did not have to phone to get her checked out their are susposed to move at least 10 times a day but on sunday she has only made about 2/3 movements by lunchtime and normally she has done over the 10 by then that is why i panicked but hey there cant be much room for her now i thought perhaps she wanted to come and see her mammy but no she seems happy where she is lol

Hi Just popping in quickly before work:

Steph - wishing you loads of luck with your scan - completely understand how nervous you must be feeling but it will be fine and you will see lil one and your heart will just melt. I'll come back later to see how you get on, don't forget we want scan piccies!!

Lara - glad everything is ok - haven't read all the posts back as this is a quick stop in - but think I get the jest of it - She was probably giving you a rest cos it was Mothers Day!!

I'm getting worried that I haven't felt anything yet and getting to be a nervous wreck so can only imagine what you must have felt.

Have a great day ladies

Nims xx
