JUNE/JULY 09 cycle buddies

[tanya123]

Hello Ladies,

Kushka - I am so sorry! I want to cry with you (as a matter of fact, my eyes are watering up right now). I know the disapointment you feel. I am sure all of us do. You have a wonderful DH!

I am taking the Progestrone shots (with oil) every night, and let me tell you that my a$$ hurts. I have bruises on each cheek. I also have to do the Progestrone Gel every morning. I have to continue this at least until my beta on July 6th, then my Doc will decide what to do after that, depending on the results.

Take Care everyone!
Tanya

Good Morning Ladies,

This site is great and I am so happy I've found you all. You all are such a great source of insperation and hope. I'm so glad I have you now.

Kushka - I am so sorry to hear your news. I'm sending you lots of hugs and good thoughts your way.

Rosario - I hope you're feeling better today.

Stay Positive - I feel like I get little bits an pieces as I go along in this process. Or maybe it makes more sense as time goes on. So I started stim on 6/23 and you're supposed to stim for 10-12 days. So 10 days would put me at taking my shot then and ER on July 4th. That would be the best situation for me. (less time I need to take off of work) If I stim for 12 days then it would be the week after the holiday. Either way I'll take it at the rate I'm going.

It was just so horrible to receive a call from the clinic. I just new something was wrong. The doctor explained that they new I would be a poor responder and that they have me on the highest dosage they can give me. What does that mean, that I'm hopeless?!! When I started I had 4 and now he mentioned a few small ones and 1 very large 1, which he thinks it two stuck together. All I can think about is this and every time I think about it I get sooo sad. I need to keep it together for one more day. I can't wait for tomorrow already. I want to get to ER and ET and 2ww. I want to be able to decide if I want to POAS!! Sorry for the whining. I just want to participate, you know?

I'll let you know what happens tomorrow. I'll be counting those follis myself! Wishing you ALL luck. Someone please send the pma bug my way.

Hello Ladies..... First I want to say CONGRATS to all the new BFPs.. That is so amazing, Take every moment of the next 9 months and cherish it. The cycle to get where you all are we all know can be overwhelmong, it's now over and let the joy begin!!

To the ladies that are stimming, I pray that you make many follicles and get wonderful mature eggs! My 2WWers hang in there, I know that is truly the hardest part of the cycle. At first, we think it would be the shots but once all that is over the waiting seems more intense. When to or when not to POAS and all the other worries we have... It will be just fine, and I look forward to reading your BFP stories.

AFM, I had my baseline US and BW today. Things look good, I am to start my Estrace this evening. I am scheduled for FET July 15th.. OMG, only 16 days away. It almosy seems surreal. I am caustiously optimistic. First, we got to make sure our one embryo makes it through the though.. Please continue to keep us in your prayers and I will keep everyone updated. My mid cycle check is scheduled for the 9th. The countdown begins

belle-02 - Congrats on the + HPT!!!

sbr - So glad to hear you're not giving up! Good Luck to you!

sunshine - Sticky Prayers!!!

Rosario - Throwing up is the pits and you have it x3!! - so you have morning, afternoon and night sickness!

Kushka - I am so sorry to hear about your BFN. There are no words that can express how you feel, I know. I am also self funding too and that's stressful enough. This is a tough road - hang in there! HUGS!!

Johannaita - PMA & Patience dust to you - I think you need it!! Infertiliy is such a long road isn't it!

TrueBeliever - Prayers to you!!

AFM - I am having some issues...Tomorrow is my FET and my clinic called today to confirm how many embryos they are unthawing tomorrow and I told them 2 and I asked what grades they were and she wouldn't tell me. She said every office grades differently - let me just assure you, you have great embryos. I am a little frustrated with this. She did tell me one is a blast and one is a morula. She said they were both frozen on day 5 (which I was told before that the morula was frozen on day 4). I don't know what a morula is but she said they are both great. I probably shouldn't worry about it. But I just wanted to get some other opinions if anyone has them. YEAH - TRANSFER TOMORROW!!!!

SO here we go again...I am feeling a little better about this cycle and starting up again. I finally got a call back from RE and here is what we are going to do. Apparently I have poor egg quality (yeah me ) so I am going to continue Lupron and not take antagon this cycle. Also the nurse said that I may have a better result this time since I wont be on BCPs because she says the BCPs tend to supress ovarys. Ok so more Bravelle and Menopur on the horizon. I just have to wait for AF now to start. She also said RE is going to cycle me slower and longer to hopefully produce better quality eggs. Last time I had 18 eggs and only 5 made it to freeze and of course none made it to transfer. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Mike and Jess....My FET buddy! Good luck tomorrow...I will be praying for you and thinking of you! You are on your way!

Rosario...sorry about the morning sickness. I understand ginger is supposed to be helpful with that...also small meals throughout the day which is kinda weird since you are vomitting but I guess it works for some people. Stay hydrated.

Johannanita...I understand how you feel. Although I seem to produce lots of eggs and follicles I cannot get them past that. Its so frustrating. As many on this board have told me, keep the faith.

Well I am off to clean the bathrooms. I have been scrubbing this house like a loon to keep my mind off things.

[belle-02]

Well, my official BFP results are in!! My first beta was 134.5, I go in for my second beta on Wednesday!! Thanks for all of the support on here everyone, this has been quite the journey.

[mikeandjess]

belle - OH MY GOSH! CONGRATS! All the BFN's paid off! That's all I've had too - so YOU GIVE ME HOPE!!!! That made my day!!!

[Stay Positive]

Oh Kushka, I am so sorry to hear of the BFN. I was really keeping my fingers crossed for you; I have just loved your upbeat and humorous attitude on here and was hoping for positive news. Like others have said, I am glad that you have a wonderful DH who sounds understanding and helpful. Do whatever you need to do right now and know that we are all thinking of you and will be here to offer support whenever you need it. Hugs to you.

Hello everyone!

Kushka- I am so very sorry to hear your news. We were all praying for good news. It does sound like you and dh have a wonderful relationship and I am sure he will be your rock and help you through this difficult time, I know my husband did the same with my last bfn. Just know we are here to support you no matter what your next step will be.

belle- congrats to you and an official bfp! Sounds like a good strong number, can't wait to here wednesdays result.

prayin- so glad to hear you have a plan, and I do think stimming slower might help produce better quality, at least that is what I have heard. I will do a little af dance for you.

mikeandjess- how exciting, ET tomorrow! I do not know much about morula stage vs blast, but I think someone here does...maybe chris? Anyway, I think a lot of clinics are stand-offish when we ask for numbers, grades, details...I think they just want us to trust what they are doing...but I am sure if she says they are good then they are, and we will be sending tons of sticky dust your way.

Welcome to all our newbies...if you would like to be added to our list, please just post with your dates and such, and I will add you to the list.

tanya- sorry your bottom is hurting. You have to do the shot and the gel...yuck...if I ever make it to transfer, I will be doing gel in the morning and at night, because I am a big baby about shots and do not want to do an intramuscular one

vicky- enjoy your leave, and those mood swings...lol I remember crying at a puppy commercial one time I was stimming...I was so emotional!

Nothing new for me...just waiting around and excited to read all the news on here. It seems like it will be forever until a possible transfer...ugh

Well, my official BFP results are in!! My first beta was 134.5, I go in for my second beta on Wednesday!! Thanks for all of the support on here everyone, this has been quite the journey.

Belle congratulations to you both!!! I am so pleased to hear that you also have the BFP too! We just got out beta done on the 26th and it was 121 then on the 27th 213 wow im so pumped!!! and today im awaiting the results of the labs drawn today! I wish you the very best and may god bless you. thanks, abogenpohl

[abogenpohl]

Looks like last night I had a bleeding episode. I woke up to having my pantyliner full of blood. No clots just some light red blood. When I wiped there was also red in the TP. I went back to bed and it looks like this has stopped. Also last night was the first time I was throwing up a storm. I ate at 6 something and by 930 I was very sick. I felt like i was drunk. At the end of the night i also got the runs. I don't know if the bleeding had anything to do with it but please keep me in your prayers. I will go to my clinic on Monday so I will wait it out and see. If it gets worse I will have to run back to the ER.

Did i mention my set of twins are rare because they share the same sac? These twins are high risk but then again having Triplets is not getting any better. I am so scared and so worried.

Rasario: You are so in our prayers. May god bless you and keep those babies healthy and happy. I just found out that we are expecting also on friday the 26th. It was the best news in a super long time. after our 4 losses it looks as though things just might work out this time. keep us posted!! god bless you, abogenpohl

[sabi]

Kushka: So so very sorry. You & dh are both lucky to have each other. If you need to vent, pm me anytime. My heart goes out to you.

Mikeandjess: Good luck tomorrow. Completely painless really. You'll be in & out. Be thinking of you! Morula- 4day embryo 10-30 cells. better than 2-8 cells not as good as 9 cell or blast. Morula is GOOD!!!

Tanya: Ask your nurse to order EMLA cream for your tush. I could not stand the shots w/out it. Numbing cream-really makes the difference.

Belle: Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! Great news honey!! Nice numbers too!! A big congratulations to you!!!!!

Vicky: I hear you. I'm crying all the time! Plus, I've gained some weight, yuk!!!!

SBR: Thinking of you hon.

Carolyn: How's mommy feeling? Sleeping a lot huh? Take care of yourself- don't work to hard now.

Prayin: How are you doing?

Michelle : Thanks for all your hard work & all the time you spend on this thread! Really, thank you! Michelle, Aug is right around the corner-hang on dear! Enjoy the best part of the year-summer! It will be here b4 you know it!!

Tomorrow is my beta. did NOT poas & I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!
Please keep me in your prayers & crossed for a BFP!!
Sorry for all the girls I missed. Warm welcome to all the newbies here!

Holding strong,
Sabixxoo

[TrueBeliever]

CT_Michele can you please add my info to the list... Thanks

FET scheduled for July 15th
BETA scheduled for July 24th

[CT_Michele]

Truebeliever- I added you...are you on estrace/estrogen yet? When you are, I will move you up to the almost there section for fet's.

sabi- thanks for the kind words...I know, summer should fly by, by it drags when your waiting. I have my brothers wedding in less than 2 weeks, but after that, it will be a slow go. I will probably focus all of my attention on ella's first b-day party.
