April/May Cycle Buddies 2008

[chelly180]

Happy Tuesday all!
I feel out of the loop now that I am on the 2ww!
I still have the occasional cramping, but otherwise no symptoms. Still doing the PIO and estrogen patches...my tushie is starting to feel like a pincushion!
DH has been so cute, he says I can't do this or can't do that because of our little "babies"...I would love to make him a daddy!
10 more days....
God Bless!
Michele

You guys are the best for your responses, I'm so glad to know what's coming. It is so bizarre to look forward to the suffering

DriJim -- I'm holding my breath for your beta. I'm so excited, lines this far away from the trigger have got to be good news! BTW, I'm on follistim 100, lupron 5 and menopur 1 vial (i forget the dose)

We're having so many BFPs now there are almost too many to count!!

[Dri-Jim]

Chelly- Your husband sounds like a good guy. He takes interest in this and his support no doubt means a lot. Remember, the journey means as much as the destination.

SD- Thanks. I'm praying and I if God Blesses us we'll do the best we can to be good parents.

Hi ladies! I'm feeling crampy and bloated. My ER went well. We got 11 eggs and DH's sample was good, so they are not doing ICSI. I've taken tomorrow off work b/c last time I was in quite a bit of pain even the day after ER. I'm anxious abt the call tomorrow to see how many fertilized.

Thanks again to everyone for your well wishes and prayers. Neffi and rlk--thanks for crashing the thread . It makes me feel good that you kept track of me.

Yellow-Sorry you've been ill. Glad it didn't affect stimms and glad it happened now rather than later! Hope you continue to feel better and better.

SDtrying-everyone is correct. You will feel bloating and cramping soon enought--don't worry. I do agree that the injections are much better than the clomid!

Jim-congrats to you guys! Sounds very promising.

heekinje-Congrats! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Can't wait to hear your beta.

Chelly-What a great DH!

So many BFP's! I'm praying it continues for the rest of us.

Hi to everyone else-I'm going to lie down again.

[SDtrying]

yeah 11 eggs sounds great, DrJen! Glad you have off tomorrow too, that's wise. What time will you find out tomorrow? I can't wait to hear how many little embies you have!

[Rubylee]

Just back from my trip and can't believe all the good news! Congrats to all of you BFP's. It is truly thrilling to hear about them.

Sameera that beta is off the charts. Sounds like twins! Wouldn't that be amazing?

All is well here. Been on lupron since Thursday and start stimming Monday. Can't wait.

Take care of those bellies girls.

drjen- glad you get to rest an extra day! I felt surprisingly well after my ER other than the cramping, but then again your duties are way more stressful than mine! congrats on 11 eggs, I hope you have plenty of embies to choose from! are you doing 3 or 5 day transfer? I hope you feel better soon! keep us informed!

jim- congrats on you positive HPT! i am so happy that good things are happening to good people! you are a star DH!!!

sdtrying- i did almost the same protocol, just bravelle instead of follistim, and i got 17 eggs, so i hope it works well for you too!!!

yeaa BFPs!!!

Girls,

Okay, we did another HPT Frist Response Early Preg Test is the brand.

The preggo line is twice as dark as it was last night! Could be just the morning test vs the evening, but we are now 13 days past the trigger Ovidrel 250mg, so I'm hoping this is the real deal.

She IS still having some cramps and her boobs really hurt, so she's very cautious. Should we be concerned about this?

Oh, and she is VERY much appreciative of each of you. She's just do freaked out and has been working so much overtime she doesn't have time to get on here. Plus, she knows what a nut I am!

Jim, glad to hear you guys are getting BFP's on the EPT's. This board is all lit up with BFP's and lets keep the streak going.

Chelly-

You're very sweet. I'm just giving back to the woman that gives me so much. How's your 2ww going?

I spoke to Dri's nurse today. While she said that the positive HPT could still be the Ovidrel 250mcg, it's more likely a positive result and we'll know Friday. Still, we'll test tomorrow and Thursday too.

I'm praying for you to get preggo too, dear!!!

Good morning ladies and gents! How is everyone today? Once again, a lot going on since my last post! We are a busy little group!

Yellow: So are you feeling all better now? Sorry to hear you were sick, but glad to know it won't effect your cycle!

SD: Any side effects yet? 3 days on stims doesn't seem like that long, and it looks like everyone else is saying the same thing, so I am sure you are moving along just like you are supposed to!

Jim: Congrats!! I agree w/everyone else, a line is a line, especially this far out from the trigger!

heekinje: Congrats to you, too!! This is so exciting reading about all these BFP's!! Good luck w/your beta tomorrow!! My fingers are crossed for you for some big numbers!

DrJen: Congrats on your ER! 11 eggs! Have fun on your day off, and sit back, relax and enjoy! How are you feeling today?

Ruby: Welcome back from your trip! How have you felt on Lupron? Any side effects? I started mine the day before you, and I felt fine until yesterday.

Well I had some of my first side effects from Lupron yesterday. Hot flash, headache, and cramping. I am assuming the cramping is from my Lupron AF. It's hard to say if AF has arrived because I have had break through bleeding the whole time taking my BCPs. And I have been so moody today! I am trying my best to keep it under control, but it's getting the best of me so far, and it's still early!

Hope you are all doing wonderful today! Talk to you later!

[Dri-Jim]

Hi Jharris-

Thanks for your thoughts. Dri took her 3rd HPT this morning and it was darker than the previous two. We're now 14 days out from the trigger now and we're hoping it's legit. Should be lighter than yesterday if it were the trigger I think.

Anyway, don't let those cramps or mood swings get you down. All part of the process. Keep us updated every step of the way!

[DrJen]

Hi everyone. I just got my fertilization report. Out of the 11 eggs, 7 fertilized. Last cycle we had 12 eggs and 7 fertilized. Hopefully this is my lucky #! They will call tomorrow with a tentative ET--I won't know exactly until Friday early am if it is Friday (3dt) or if it is Sunday (5dt). Keep up the prayers. Thanks, Jenny

[courtney]

DrJen~ Yea!!! 7 fertilized is fantastic!!! I know you are anticipating every day's report. Hang in there!! YOu will be in the 2ww wait with us soon enough!!!!!

[Yellow]

DrJen, you are in my thoughts. 7 out of 11 sounds like lucky numbers to me.

heekinje, congratulations!

SDtrying, I had the same experience as the other girls. It took me several days to start feeling it. Congratulations on your new house! When do you move?

Thanks, everyone, for the get well wishes. I'm feeling better. There's still a lingering tiredness, but now it's hard to know it that's the virus or the follistim.

I had my first u/s since starting stims. I get the official word in about 20 minutes, but I saw lots of big follicles.

We found a house to rent! I was so tired of looking. We'll move late June/early July. Now I'm getting excited about our move!
