franca: Congrats on starting stims Monday!!! Yaayyyy for getting the show on the road.

Heeks: 299!!!!!! CONGRATS!! I’ m so happy for you. When is your next BETA? Looking forward to big numbers!!!! Yaaaayy!!!!

AFM stims are going okay. I’ve been feeling kind of off today. My tummy has been feeling weird and I was a bit moody. Yelled at DH for no reason at all!! He’s like that medicine has you on the edge! LOL I was like really??? Then I cried, I don’t even know why!! Does that mean it’s working???

[sarita28]

I know I haven't posted for a LONG time...since I've been back to work full-time, I don't have time to do much else! For those that know me from the Jan/Feb thread; my IVF got bumped to starting in May. So, I'm going to move to that thread (if they'll take me ) Good luck to all of you on here!

[rlk1]

Just a quick post to let Misocial know I'm soooooo glad that you're still a "go"!!! Everyone says you have to be your own advocate, and I guess they're right. Good for you for sticking to your guns!

[babyluv]

Marci - Whoo hoo! Glad you get to start tomorrow!

Latrell - HA!! I've been there before!!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Still pretty surreal...ready for my beta to come on Wednesday!

[DrBoots]

WE ARE A GO

The nurse called back and said the Dr could see my point and agreed that I could start my stim but would like me to wait until tomorrow. SnS on Wednesday. (She was very chipper...humpf.....stop it. I may have to put my self in time out, and I cant even blame it on hormones. More like attitude problem.)

overies----check
labs--------check
lining------uneven....SO WHAT its 7-11
Sticking up for what your gut tells you... always the right thing to do.

PMA PMA PMA say a prayer for me girls, I am gonna need it.
Marci

praying for you Marci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Supergenius]

And the good news keeps rolling in!!!

heeks - great beta number! any chance of multiples? hope you and your DD had a nice day in the park.

babyluv - wow, congrats! and your beta's not until next week, right? that must be one strong beta level...

claudia - your beta's tomorrow so don't worry about the stick... did you try the digital one yet? got all the appendages crossed for Han & Solo! maybe i'll come up with a beta dance for you.

kim - keep that PMA up, girl! we're going to have gorgeous weather this weekend and that's gotta help.

latrell -yes, you are hopped up on hormones of course you'll be moody!!! i'm glad your DH knows the deal.

franny - i can neither confirm nor deny that i am anywhere near crazytown. but i did go down the supermarket aisle with the Sticks today...and kept on walking. it was very tempting.
hope you and DH have a great time at the shore...sounds like fun fun fun. and i'm so glad you are back at acupuncture! is DH doing it too? one more day of those evil pills! 7 weeks is a super long time. my clinic would not let me go more than 5 weeks at a time.

marci - WOOHOO! as others have said, i would have done the same as you did. and i like that your doc was willing to see your reasoning and be flexible. get those needles primed! PMA, girl, PMA!

teresa - wow, you are like a super responder to the stims. and those welts sound horrible, you poor thing. i can't believe the doc just basically told you to suck it up. the things we are willing to do to get to that BFP! hang in there! we're all with you.

angela - yay for starting stims! now the fun begins...

afm, had the mild nausea again today. no cramping, just "pulling" feeling at the uterus. (.)(.) are super sensitive and sore. is it Tuesday yet???

[angelaezra]

Supergenius – that sounds like a BFP to me!! I love the nausea (not that I want you to be nauseated but it is a good sign)! I also love the pulling feeling. That sounds like a uterus that is growing to me!!!!

Sarita – good luck to you!

Hopeforbabies – I am so sorry that you are so uncomfortable from the Repronex. Why didn't they order Follistim or something less painful for you instead? I've never used the Repronex before ... I've always used Follistim. I sure hope it gets better for you soon!

Marci – Whoo hoo … I am so proud of you for standing your ground! You have to be your own advocate! Come on stims tomorrow! Keep us updated on your progress …

AFM- I’m excited about stimming in a few hours and I am babysitting my nephew tonight. He is such a good kid! So we will spend some quality time together …

Way to go Misocial - I am supposed to be sleeping but our landlord said they want to sell the house we live in so I am up looking for a house and just poped in to say I am praying for you girl and you go get them cowboy!!!

[Lauren1171]

Marci - good luck! I am glad you decided to go forward.

Sara (Sarita) - Good luck with everything in May and we will miss you here.

Bei - I am waiting for AF too. I hope she comes soon and leaves right away!

Rik1 - I am so glad you were able to go forward with the transfer of Luke...lol.

Lisa - I change my mind all the time. After my 1st ER I said never again!! Then got BFN and started second cycle lol. Got BFN and said I am not doing anything until after my Vegas trip in May. Now I am starting FET cylce. Who knows what I will decide next? Oh and I would love a Mac! That's what I borrowed from my brother. My computer came. It's a refurbished HP that I got online for $289. I figure it will last til I buy a Mac. Hope AF comes soon for you too!

Dr Boots - Congrats on your magic 8!!!!

Teresa - what's going on with your follies and E2?

Heeks - Congrats on your beta....woohoo!!!!

Babyluv - Congratulations to you!!! That's awesome!!!

Angela - How does your RE know your ER will be the 31st? I had to go in for S & S ever few days to monitor where I was at, so I a week off of my ER estimate. Do you always respond well to stims? Maybe it's because I am slow stimming?

Franny - Last pill - bring on AF!!! My friend goes to the Reading place. She started there then switched to Boston IVF, and now is back in Reading. If I knew about that place I would have gone there since it's easier to get to. But I like my RE alot so I would not switch. I also like how the Waltham place is huge so when I go for S&S I am in and out. But on weekdays I have to leave my house at 6:10 AM just to beat the traffic and not be late for work. I usually don't wake up til 7:30 so for those 2 weeks I am miserable, and if it's snowing I am more miserable lol! I love the Red Sox, but being so close I have gone to more than enough games and am kind of sick of going to Boston. Decent tix at Fenway are $90 each then they rip you off with parking $20-$30. So for me and DH we end up spending $350 easy because of food and beer. Same with the Pats. I would rather fly to Miami for the weekend to see a game than drive to Foxboro and sit in traffic after blowing $300 on tix $30 on parking and God knows what on beer, while freezing tailgaiting in the snow lol. I would rather do that in the sun lol.

Sorry if I missed anyone, but it's 2:00 AM and I am using this IPod again!!!

angelaezra/misocial - way to go girls for good us and everything and starting timming... cheering you on this new cycles. Misocial you go for it girl.

hopeforbabies - sorry to hear you are not reacting good to the upgrade meds... you poor girl... hand in there you have a nice dh

supergenius - good symptomes way to go girl. Can't wait for BETA results

AFM - My other test today came up positive within the proper time this time. And now you can really see it !! Thanks everyone for cheering for me.

Helene

[angelaezra]

Lauren – that is his usually timeline after starting stims. But, of course I have 3 or 4 more u/s and blood draws to determine if my ovaries are reacting the way they should be so that I can have my retrieval on the 31st. The last time I did a fresh cycle, I was only off by one day and that was because I started my menstrual cycle one day late. But, this time it started when it was supposed to, so we will see! I am crossing everything that it is on schedule this time around.

Helene – I knew it was positive – congratulations!!!

Marci - I hope you can start stimming today!

AFM - I am so very tired ... these meds are killing me! Thank god it is Saturday so I can get some rest. I slept for 10 hours last night but I feel as though I haven't even been to sleep! I am so happy my nephew is a late sleeper or I would be in trouble ... lol!

I hope everyone else has a fabulous Saturday and I will chat with everyone soon!

Hi Ladies,

I haven't posted since yesterday morning cause I was too nervous I was getting my hopes up and actually got even more nervous this morning because I had some spotting! BUT I just got the call and I'm PREGNANT! My beta is 88 but I'm also a day early since I'm going to DC tonight for a conference and won't get my second beta til Wed morning!
I know from past experience that the second beta is more important than the first one so no official celebrating yet!

Personals later...
