hrobinson - yep, that's it.... and no i havent been there to see it... i guess im not interested to see mummified people displayed .... they did something to a human body [dont know where they got the bodies from], fixed it so each is doing diff actions [like running or about to shoot a ball etc] and it shows what your muscle looks like when it's doing those actions.... i heard there's even a pregnant lady and you can see the baby inside... i think that's too much for me to see ....
goodluck on your shots too... there are times when my needle would kinda stop in the middle and yeah it hurts too ... thats why i rather have it in my butt.... im just lucky i work with nurses so i have somebody to stick it in everyday lol.....
May/June Cycle Buddies
Okay, here I am! Let's do personals!
But first of all, re-reading all your posts again... it's absolutely amazing! If I felt lonely yesterday for a moment there, you sure wiped that away! You're so amazing and I'm so lucky to have you guys! Come on, GROUP HUG! I'm extremely grateful for what you did. Gosh, here I am all teary-eyed! Pleawse forgibve teh typwos!
jen: awwwwwww I'm SO sorry I broke your heart sweetie! *hugs* But your words brought me great comfort and they're very true. And that thought about how close I am to having my family... yes, it's definitely an image that keeps us going, isn't it? And THANKS for backing me up on the bedrest thing! 
Pat: hehehee poor thing! But hey, two days behind you on the 2ww is better than none at all! Just keep yourself busy, it's the best remedy. After spending a whole day at home yesterday, I sure saw the difference. It's just not a good idea at this point. Next time I have to stay home all day, after EC and ET, I'll sure keep that puter turned OFF (after I post in the morning of course) to prevent me from surfing here and there and be tempted by pregnancy websites that will just tell me how loooooong time is during the 2ww! And I agree 100% with Tanya on this; if you're not already taking prenatal vitamins, then don't waste a second. If you're already taking them, it's enough. I'd advice to take zinc, though, for it's exactly what your immune system needs when it's fighting something. You'll find zinc lozanges very easily at your local drugstore.
Tanya: "It is so true what I said !It really is." Well sweetie, lol, give yourself a good pat in the back! Hehehehe, don't worry, it's still in my pocket. I'm glad that you'll have people around you sharing the good news! The stimming, well... *sings off-key in a tired voice* half-shot of Lupron... I got a shalf-shot of Lupron... half shot of Luuuuuuuuu... *sigh* 
Ah, well. What can I do, right? I want those follies to be as mature as possible, and I want a good fert rate. If it means two more days, then two more days it is! I am still tired and I have a mini-headache almost all the time. But hey, two of my patients cancelled this afternoon... and that means I can take the train early... and that means I'll be home before 5pm. AND THAT ROCKS! BRING ON THAT LAZY WEEKEND!
gbnut: thanks for your wonderful post, darling! yes, I am definitely doing better today. Part of it is me talking to myself, part of it is your wonderful posts, part of it is spending quality time with my DH yesterday and part of it is being busy today!
You are SO right that even our DHs don't really know what it is like, even if they all do their best to be there for us in every way they can. It's just the little comments... the reactions, here and there, that tell you... nah! Just don't get it! I can completely understand your need to take some pressure off; your situation is very tricky and I can very well see that not disappointing your family may put some extra pressure on you. And that's one of the major reasons why we're not telling. It was not a ramble my dear, and I'm glad you shared your situation with us. But you're in the last turn of this cycle and I really hope you'll have amazing news to tell them real soon! HUG!
mandeeq: Hi there! the big hugs arrived on time, thank you so much! I am deeply sorry that you lost your mom so recently. You must miss her terribly now that you're going through another cycle... It must be very hard indeed, for you made it sound like she was truly a sensational person. I'm glad you did not call the whole thing off, because I'm absolutely convinced that she is watching over you still, and making you feel her presence. she must be very proud of you. AND I LOVE YOU TOO, SWEETIE! And thanks a bunch for telling me you agree with the info on bedrest; that, too, makes me feel less alone.
arizonakiwi: CONGRATULATIONS! You're pregnant sweetie! How does it feel, for you? I tell you, I felt like a million bucks! Poor sweetie, this sounds like you're having a hard time with the convalescence from EC overlapping with the beginning of your 2ww, plus that nasty cold.... I'm so sorry. I'm sure your DH is pampering you in every way he can, though. I,m completely reassured to see that you're okay nevertheless, and that you're taking care of yourself. I send you huge hugs and I,ll reply to your pm in a minute. Love ya sweetie! Give us news when you can, we missed you!
tpiper: WOOOOOHOOOOOO! Isn,t it great to see her when you've waited after her for what seemed like an eternity? I know the feeling, the beoch came 10 days late on my first cycle! LOL! I'm so happy to see that you're on your way! Woowhee! I'll adjust the list. About the fibroids, I'm really sorry that your exam gave you worries. I really don't know much about the subject, though, but I suggest you make a new topic on the general forum and just ask the question. I'm sure people will have nice success stories for you... Thank you so much for your hugs and kind words! What you described is very accurate and shows a nice sensibility. It's exactly like that at the beginning, you're right. But don't worry, even if they don't get it completely, they can still be there to give you support in tricky times. You just have to expect that some of them will never get it, and others will need you to make your expectations and needs real clear, super clear, extra clear. I had to do that last time, and it was a bit better after that. You might also want to have them watch this:
http://www.vocalicious.com/empty_arms/e ... _mod2.html
Sometimes it's borderline melodramatic, but it can still give them a better idea. And no, LOL, I never read those articles!
hrobinson: oh, poor sweetie, it sounds like you really had a bad experience with Lupron... are you sure you picked the right injection site? On the thigh, I've been told to put one hand at the top, one above the knee, then split that space in two vertically and inject in the area that's on the outside of the thigh (so left side for your left thigh and right side for your right thigh). That may be just it. But since you're just on Lupron for now, you should reeeeeally use your tummy for now if you can. You won't feel the injections practically. I've had no bruising whatsoever and no problem. I really wouldn't force it next time. Just take the needle out, and pick another spot that you disinfect beforehand. Tanya, any professional advice?
Guys, I have a question for you. You figured that I'm not planning to do any bedrest after ET, but... I sure will take the whole day off and take it easy, lying in a nice chair on my deck with my big girl (doggie) if the weather is nice. ET is planned for Friday so far... but I have 3 couples and 1 individual session planned for the following Saturday, from 9am-1pm. Do you think it would be paranoiac to cancel and give them other appointments? So I can have the whole weekend to take it easy in addition to the Friday? Anyway had I warned them all that that day was very iffy for me last time I saw them... I'm reeeeeally tempted to give myself a super relax weekend after ET... even if technically, sitting on a chair and listen to patients is absolutely not dangerous for my little embies!
Okay, time to do that list, grab some lunch and run back to the patients!
Take care beautiful ladies! And have an amazing weekend! I'll cut lots of lilac branches as soon as I'm home and the whole house will smell...
ooooooooooh and I'll bake a nice chocolate cake or brownie... I deserve it; we both do!

Sophie- Thanks for the advice on where to do it in my thigh. When I did this 3 years ago, they just told me to pick a different spot anywhere on my thigh everyday. They also wanted to make sure that I alternated thighs every day.
They have always told me to do it there, never in my tummy. I am only to do 1 shot in my tummy, and that is my trigger shot.
Do you know why exactly it matters where you do the injections...butt vs. tummy vs. thigh?
And, I would go ahead and take Saturday off. even though you are just sitting there listening to patients, you need to be worrying about yourself and not them. Also, if you think about it, where will your mind be? On the patients, or on your little embies? And since you already warned them...

hrobinson.... IM[intramuscular]shots are to be done on butt or thigh and subq[subcutaneous] shots are to be done in belly - this has also a smaller and fine needle.......
for your thigh, choose the outer side... you may do it directly on top of your thighs but it's much easier on the outer sides..... youmay also google for a diagram on where to inject IM
just some info.... hope this helps

Wow, three days away and I've missed so much! Work's just been so busy busy I don't know where the time's gone!
Steph and Tanya Congratulations! I'm so very happy for you both. Wow, wow, wow!
Well I'm fine, haven't had the blues since Monday and have had a great week. I went for my scan and blood today and I'm doing fine with a few follies growing on each side so they say all is good and I'm to go back on Monday for another look. I asked again about 5 day transfers which I've been told previously the clinic does not do (I'm on the national health and it's a bit of a production line so you don't get any say on anything) but amazingly this time the nurse said that they had a new embryologist who has come from a clinic in London where he did 5 day transfers a lot. She offered for him to come and discuss whether I'd like to try a 5 day transfer when I'm in on Monday! I, of course, said yes. That's the first time in a year of going to the clinic I've been given any say in anything (I did 4 iuis last year and 1 ivf in Feb). Sooooooooooooo ladies, opinions please. What do you all think about the 2 day vs 3 day vs 5 day transfer. I see,Tanya and Susan that you did 5 days, can you tell me how you or your clinic came to that decision please. Last time they did a two day with no choice offered so I've got some thinking and research to do before Monday! Help!
Daly, how's the pup? Thinking of you and yours.
Tpiper55, I'm on day 8 of injecting and am still working out. I love it and have been told if I'm fit and not uncomfortable then it'll do no harm. I work all weekend so won't go to the gym and I'll see if I'm still up for it on Monday when I'm meant to go to body balance. If my tummy gets bloated as it did around that time in my last cycle I guess it'll be time to hang up the trainers for a couple of weeks
My accupuncturist thinks you should keep the chi moving during the 2ww so suggests lots of walking but not working out.
Soph, sorry you had a bad day yesterday. it is a lonely process isn't it. I keep having to lie to friends about why I can't go out and do things at the moment and feel bad that I'm not giving them the real reason but I couldn't cope with them knowing if it doesn't work. your grandmother is different though, she's family and it's healthy to share to an extent. thanks for that info about rest in the 2ww, it was very helpful. Sounds like you eggs are developing nicely and you'll be on your way in no time! Good luck.
Susan, Angela, Mandeeq, Jenn and Pat, hang in there 2wwaiters, I know how hard it is, won't be long til I'm there too. Mandeeq I'm so sorry about your mum, that's so very hard for you. You deserve so much a little bundle of joy in 8 and a half months time.
Off to watch a bit of telly now before bed.
Have a great weekend all.

Hi Ladies!
I finally got AF today. I talked to my clinic and started my estradiol. So, I have officially started my FET cycle. They confirmed the transfer will be on June 15 (assuming u/s and blood work is okay).
Gbnut-Let me know how you like Pirates of the Caribbean. I’ve seen the first two and want to see this one too.
Arizonakiwi-I’m glad your baby is where it belongs. I hope you get to feeling better.
Tpiper55-Looks like we both finally got AF! It does seem so weird to be happy about it. Doesn’t it feel great to finally get started!
PMApsy-Glad to hear you are feeling better. That’s great that your trigger is soon. Grow follies, GROW!!! BTW..chocolate dipped in fudge sounds soooo good. If I were you, I’d take the day off and concentrate on you instead of others.
Hrobinson-79 days of vacation. WOW, I’m jealous. I took a day of vacation today to make it a 4 day weekend since we are off on Monday for the holiday. Being a teacher has to be a hard job so you deserve it.
Marsxp-The Body in Motion is coming (or already may be here) in St. Louis. I think I agree with you that it may be too much to see. Someone I work with saw it in Chicago and really liked it. The bodies come from people who donate them specially for this project.
My2Lnt-Glad to hear your numbers are increasing. Grow baby grow!
Julie-I’m not sure what all the research says but at my clinic the do day 5 transfers if the embryos are doing well and dividing.
Hi to all to everyone I missed and have a wonderful weekend.

ltaylor- So glad to hear that AF came and you can start. It always makes ya smile knowing that you are on that road of progress.
Jul1e- Thanks... Good luck with your cycle.My clinic pushes for day5 transfers. I had to beg and then say I would go else where because I had a gut feeling that a day3 is what I needed it took that for the DR to agree. So best of luck no matter what day it is.

Hey guys...
I was thinking about you all today. I hope that you are doing well. It is so nice out tonight we are eating out on the deck! I am happy about that. Miss it from last summer. Anybody got any plans for the holiday weekend? I have to work all weekend-UUGGHH. Oh well good money right?
ltaylor
YEAH for you! Start of the FET! I am so happy for you and thrilled that you are well on your way to getting your babies back where they belong!!!

My clinic always tries to get everyone to a 5 day transfer. The only time they dont is if the embies are not growing well. From what I have read you can implant less embryos with a great chance of success with a 5 day than a 2 or 3 day. However...as you may have read lots and lots of people get preggo with 2 and 3 day transfers....It just depends on how well the clinic feels that they can grow the embies. You don't want to take a chance on them not making it and not having any to transfer. My clinic puts you on standby at day 3 and then if they look good you go for day 5. I would totally talk to the embryologist about this. See how well he thinks he can grow them. It is totally worth a shot!!!
Steph
So happy for you and your next beta coming back so good! Congrats girl!!!
Sophie
That is awesome that you are getting out early. Sometimes I would really like it when I worked at the office when people would cancel on a Friday! It was great. Take it easy this weekend....let those follies do their thing!!!Sunday will be here before you know it and then and then the big day-FRIDAY_ET!!!! 14 sounds wonderful! Remember quality not quantity!!! Hang in there. I know you were hoping and waiting and I know all too well the disappointment of oh you have to shoot up for another few days.
hrobinson
I agree with Sophie it is so much easier in the belly. It really is. You hardly feel it. I am not sure what happened. Sometimes the bevel of the needle butts up against some fascia or a vessel and you wont be able to inject it unless you pull back a little. Is there a reason you dont want to do it in your belly? It really is a good choice when I do shots at the hospital a lot of patients prefer them in the belly due to less pain. Just as a side note. My DH and I decided to take an RV trip across the country so I will be without my computer for a whole 12 days!!! LOL That will kill me right there. Anyhow we are going the third week in August. I am so looking forward to it. We are going to visit the Museum and Aquarium in Chicago and then take off for the WI Dells and the Mall of America. After that it is onward to Mt. Rushmore I can hardly stand the wait. It should be a ton of fun. Never been in an RV either.
tpiper
Yeah you have begun! That is so wonderful! I am thrilled for you! I really am. I know that you are so excited as well. You have started dear you have started!!!!
Thank you for your comments. It is more fun than work-a lot!
Angela
Glad that the babies are home safe and sound. It is so exciting isnt it? I am happy for you! So sorry that you are not feeling well though. That part sucks but hopefully soon you will be feeling worse!!! (morning sickness, peeing all the time, Slight AF type cramping etc.! LOL )

Wow where do I start
Tanya - Firstly congratulations on the official BFP you make me smile as I think of all the little positive sticks you have. Enjoy the buzz and excitement as your little ones grow stronger and stronger.
There is nothing quite like the first dinner on the deck – it is almost the offocial start of summer to me. ps, loved your comment about hoping I will be feeling worse soon !!!!
Steph You must be thrilled and I am so pleased for you. I’m sending tons of baby dust to you and look forward hearing all about the next few months as your little ones grow and develop into your little babies in February next year. Won’t this be a wonderful early valentines gift for all of us!!!
Nimble A natural BFP Congratulations. I hope it is all confirmed and you are enjoying the excitement !!!!
Jovigal glad your 2nd beta was perfect and you can stop the PIO’s sounds like your little ones are doing perfectly. Enjoy Bon Jovi in Vegas and the excitement of your little ones growing. The 1st of June will be really exciting !!!
Marsha Wow you are testing today, that has come up quickly. I’m sending you lots of wishes and baby dust for a BFP
Gbnut - Only 4 more days to go, I am sure they will be the slowest 4 days in your life, but a BFP on Tuesday will make the wait worth while
Tipier55 – Welcome, I’ll put my hand up for finding it hard to concrete at work !!! I’m glad AF arrived and you can get started. It is daunting starting the fist time, I had no idea what to expect. I found the injections and side effect not as bad as I though they would be but for the few days before each part of the treatment started I found myself rather wound up and anxious because I was worried about how it was going to make me feel. Think of us as your support and cheer team, we are here to help you through every step of the way.
Jenn Wow time has flown, your testing on the 25th (which has to be today for you as it is yesterday for me) I hope the result was positive and you are looking forward to the next 8 months with excitement. Lots of Baby dust going you way.
Mandeeq It looks like we can wait together. My test is just a couple of days before you on the 5th. I hope you are feeling good and your little frosties are enjoying being in a safe warm place. (Mine was a 5 cell also!!)
Pat19 – I hope your cold has eased and you are feeling better
Sophie - My darling, the entire process is a rollercoaster of emotions, while your grandmother can’t imagine exactly how you are feeling and what you are experience know that she will be thinking of you and sending you all the love and support she can. Grandma’s are wonderful people and it is special getting to know them as people and not just grandmothers as you get older. Perhaps all your family could get together to buy her a computer if she can’t justify it herself, with her hearing dropping it would be a wonderful resource for her to feel less isolated form the world. My grand mother sounds a little like yours. She completed History papers at university in her 70’s, know more about computers than I do and she teaches “senior net” computer classes, the year before she turned 80 she took a trip over to the UK and Europe – by herself. I always remember getting an email from her when she was in Greece saying she had just got back from going for a swim in the ocean!!!
I think you should take it easy on the Saturday and Sunday after ET – not bed rest but give your self a little TLC. What would you advise one of your patients to do? It is an emotional time and I know for myself I have just had to say I can’t do it all at present and I have to give myself permission not to try and carry everything for a few days. I find it hard to do but I hope it will make me feel a little better down the track.
Isn’t it frustrating waiting for your eggs to grow to the perfect size. I was where you are a couple of weeks ago. I remember on Saturday waiting all day for the call to say I could trigger….. Instead they asked me to come in for another scan on Monday. I was so disappointed as I just wanted them out and fertilized so I knew they were safe. Just remember something someone very special on this board told me a couple of weeks ago….. “Your body is doing the best it can” your eggs want to be perfect to give you the best chance you will get their, they are just teasing you a little.
Lilac Bushes, my husband adores them, they remind him of his childhood, one sniff and he is a 7 year old again in the middle of summer holidays
Julie Glad you had a good week and your first scan went well, it is great they will consider a 5 day transfer for you.
Tia I hope the stimms are still going well and they are seeing lots of eggs in the ultra sounds
souris and Literatriz how are you both doing?
hrobinson.... You make me want to be a teacher – 79 days vacation, enjoy !!! How are the meds treating you? Sorry the needle was hard to put in yesterday. I hope today’s one went in like a dream to make up for it. Can you do them in the stomach – that didn’t hurt me much at all until the last few days, the thought of doing it in the leg is really painful.
Shantala I hope your week went well and work isn’t to busy. Not long to go before you get to jump back on the saddle again
I’m feeling better today, still a little tender but a big improvement on yesterday and my cold has moved up to my head so at least the coughing isn’t as bad.
Of the 7 retrieved 5 survived the 1st day – we were pleased with that as DH’s sperm had been retrived via TESA and frozen and they weren’t sure how they would go (he is very proud of his boys...…).
They transferred a 5 cell and they others 4 were at 4 cell, they are going to keep the other 4 growing till Sunday to see if they can get them to day 5 before they freeze them.
Before they put our baby back in they gave us a photo, DH is sure he can see 2 eyes and a mouth……he has been a sweetheart looking after me, last night he was talking to my belly teaching it times tables so it knew how to keep multiplying and growing…..
Have a good day everyone. It has been good to catch up with you all.
Love Angela
PS I test on the 5th June!!!

Hi Ladies,
Thanks for all your advise on Vits, I was always taking Folic Acid, but since reading your replies, I went to Tesco and got myself some Pregnacare.
The cold has gone away now, but since ET I have no energy what so ever, so hopefully I might start feeling a bit better in a few days. Thanks

Hi Ladies...I know I just arrived here a few days ago, but is it too soon for me to RANT 
As you all know, AF FINALLY arrived yesterday (3 days late...I was actually kinda hoping I had gotten pregnant naturally). When I spoke to the nurse at my RE's office on thursday, she had told me that IF AF came on Friday, I should have my FSH levels drawn on Saturday (day 2)...I was fine with that. But yesterday morning I found out that labcorp isn't open this weekend because of the holiday, so when I called to tell her, she told me to have them drawn yesterday. I repeatedly asked her if they would be accurate having them drawn on day one, and she kept saying it would be fine. Has anyone else here had to have their FSH levels drawn on day 1 because of lab closings? I'm so worried that they're either going to be falsly high or falsly low. Should I ask to have them drawn again on Tuesday when I go in for the u/s to check out the fibroids? UGH...I haven't really started the process yet and I can feel myself getting a little stressed. As you all know, this process is expensive, so I just want to ensure that all my test results are as accurate as they can possibly be.
On a more positive note, I'm starting my BCPs today along with the baby aspirin. Even though I have the u/s on Tuesday to determine whether the fibroids will impact my pregnancy, between now and then, I'm moving forward as if everything is going smoothly.
oh, btw, I think that 'dildocam' term is HILARIOUS!!!! DH and I dropped off his 'deposit' for motility testing last wednesday and when the receptionist told us we had a $150 co-pay, he mumbled under his breath "..that has to be the most espensive jerk off in history"
ltaylor - yes, it does seem weird to be so happy about AF. For years and years, she presents herself as an unwelcome visitor, now we wait on pins and needles 
btw, did you start BCPs yesterday?
Arizonakiwi - you made me feel better about my anxiousness regarding the next phase...thanks
Does anyone have big plans for this weekend? Not me, we're just sort of hanging out and watching tv. The way I figure, a year from now I could have one (or two ) newborns to take care of, so I might as well enjoy the free time now while I have it (see how easy it is to justify totally vegging out?...hee hee)

Toni dont worry at my clinic we can get bloods done in day 1-3. They clasify day 1 if it starts before 1pm if it starts after that the day 1 is the next day. All the very best.
Sophie i agrre withthe others if you can take the sat off without too much hassel i would take it off an dhavea nice relaxing time sitting on your sofa.
Mars sorry to read your news. Sending big hugs to you and DH. We are all here for you.
Pat hope the 2ww is going ok. are you enjoying day time tv???
Steph that is great that your levels have doubled. +++++++for them to keep doublng. Have they given you a date for your scan yet.
Angela hope you 2ww goes ok. We got a photo as well for our scrap book. How many people will be able to show there kids a photo of them at that stage not many!! Take care
Itaylor you will be having your ET befor eyou know it. Enjoy all your drugs!! The fil was excellent and as funny as the others i would recommend going to see it.
hrobinson i agree with the others it is less painful in the tummy. You are lucky to have so many days off. what type of teacher are you??
Julie sending lots of +++++++ for growing follies. My clinic does blasts if we have a lare amounts of embryos because they say that they have a better chance of seeing which embryo is better an dthey say that if they can survive to day 5 then they are stronger. Also my clinic will only freeze blasts. They do do day 2 or 3 for people that do not hav emany embryos. My clinic has a better success rate with blasts but it is down t the individual. This ivf is a lottery as some peolpe who have poor embryos get BFP and people that have perfect embyros like us we have been told that we have text book always get a BPN. No real sense.
mandeeq who are you???
Jen779 hav eyou ovulated yet???
Jenn hope the 2ww is going ok.
Daly how is yor wolfy today??? Hope the dr is going ok
Hi to everyone else hope you are all well.
As for me having lots of AF pains now, kept me a wake most of last night and found it hard at the cinema. Also started to spot but it was minimal and i mean minimal. Not doing much today James is meant to be going to play golf but just as he was about to leave it started to rain so he has not gone.
