FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

[totsie]

Crissy-when I started reading your story I was literally crying for you, seeing what you had to go through! But as your story went along it turned into tears of joy! I am so happy that you got good results at the end of all that! May you have a happy healthy pregnancy with beutiful healthy baby/babies at the end.

You guys are the greatest. One thing I'd never regret in this whole process is joining this forum. It's a God send. This morn I'm buckeled over in pain because my doc practically touched my tonsils trying to reach my cervix and in the process he injured my left ovary. I can't cough or pee without wincing in pain. Never a dull moment. I'm really hoping that I'll get a boring and uneventful pregnancy soon.

LYD-I'm happy thngs are finally progressing for u and I hope tu get a fantastic U/S.

Cindy-I agree with what e'one else has said on E2's and remember, no two cycles are the same. The important thing is that you get some nice follicle growth so you can retrieve some good eggs. I'm hoping for you that things start to move in a positive direction fairly soon. I think one girl said she eneded up stimming for 18 days. You just never know, but you definitely need to be inquisitive and be your own patient advocate. You also might wanna pose a question on the open discussion board for Ghost.

Mamaboo-good vibes for your ET. Pray e'thing went well.

Bliss- My AP is a lot like yours. In fact, he felt my pulse the other day and said not only was the pregnancy holding up but that it's a boy! I've said all along if this pregnancy goes well I'm going to him for life too. Lol. He's like a Chinese soothsayer.

Totsie n Bliss cramps r a good sign and AF can't come while ur on Proges. When he had BFN's I never got cramps.

Becca- good luck on beta. Welcome to u and Totsie both.

Blair- I firmly believe we can think things into existence so put that ticker up there girl! Nothing to regret.

Love you guys. Make it a great day.

Crissy! What a crazy roller coaster ride. Thank you for writing it all out like that. That's crazyness! Like you haven't been through enough already!! So, so happy that it all worked out ok. Looking forward to you seeing/hearing the heartbeat. Please let us know!

I've had 4 births in 3 days - CRAZYNESS!!! I swear they all come in waves. I won't have any for 2 or 3 weeks, and then BAM, back to back to back. All good. Just really tired. I like being busy as it's taking my mind off of things.

Now to get some work done.

Crissy - oh my goodness *hugs* what an emotional roller coaster ride!

I just got the results from my u/s this morning. They said I have 14 decent sized follicles and another 20 smaller ones. To me, 34 just seems like an insane amount of follicles. I have to go back tomorrow and Monday so they can monitor me closely. Hope things calm down in there, they all don't need to come out at once

Hi ladies! So I woke up today very optimistic and excited about this cycle. Thanks to you all for the support. I know I will be blessed and have the baby that I've always dreamed of. I have a great feeling for all of us here on this forum. We just need to keep each other optimistic.

Blair - I agree let's stay optimistic and make up our minds from know that this is it. I love your banner idea. I will spend some time this weekend figuring out how to get my banner up.

Momma - thinking about you, hope all went 'eggcellent' today. Please let us know.

Bliss - that is very true the meds mirror all the symptoms however.....I gotta feeling! Are you going to hang in there until Monday? The closer it gets the anxiety increases. Hang in there, everything will be fine and Monday you'll have great news!!

[Pumpkin11]

Hi Addy! Make sure you drink lots of Gatorade and keep hydrated. Dont over do yourself and take it easy. Try to rest as much as you can this weekend!

[blairwh58]

Addy- Wow 34 does seem like an insane amount. I was thrilled with my last fresh cycle when i had 13, but I know it definitely varies from person to person. Im sure if they are worried they will adjust the protocol to get things the way they should be. Have they said anything about OHSS? Hope you are feeling good and that the appt tomorrow goes great. Kepe us posted.

pumpkin- As for the banner I went to lilypie and it walks you through everything which is nice. As soon as I have a good estimate for the retrieval date I am definitely going all in and switching to a pregnancy ticker. Just stay positive and know we will be bringing home december babies!

indigo- sounds like you have been busy!! Good luck getting some reat and relaxing.

crissy- Hope you are staying positive and keeping those little ones safe and sound. Try to go get a mani/pedi this weekend so you can relax a little.

AFM- everyone keep doing the AF dance!! I started cramping this morning so I really hope its working and AF will be here soon. I cannot wait to get things started.

crissy - I can't believe you went through all of that.. but that is awesome that they saw not just one but maybe two.. YIPPEEE

I need to catch up on more personals later. can't believe that these people at work expect me to work on a Friday and a friday that i get awesome news.. my 2nd beta at 13dpo is 86

[MamaBoo]

Well, ET accomplished. We had two beautiful blasts that thawed wonderfully. Now, the worrisome part: when I got home and going up the steps to my house, I fell. I fell forward and caught myself. I scratched up one hand, and bumped a shin but nothing super bad. You don't think that will affect implantation do you? Please, say no. I am supposed to take it easy and rest. Do not lift my son etc, etc. However, just light to normal activity for the next 2-3 days. Please, tell me the minor spill I took won't have an impact. I'm really trying not to stress about it.

[blairwh58]

Mamaboo- sounds like the ET was very successful and your 2 babies are starting to snuggle in. I'm so sorry you fell but I'm sure it won't change your BFP. Put your feet up and get some rest. Your PUPO!!!!

[to_have_fun08]

mamaboo - you should be fine. i think one explanation i got once was after your embies are transferred, it is like the are stuck between two pieces of peanut butter bread. they aren't going anywhere. Congrats on your transfer.

[WeHaveHope]

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, I haven't had much time today to read all of the new posts. I hope everyone is doing well and I will post again once I have a chance to read through all of the posts. I took everyone's advise and called my RE's office today. The nurse was extremely nice and said I should call anytime with questions or concerns. I was so releaved after speaking with her. She explained the entire process. So it looks like we will be ready for FET the 1st week of May. Starting on Provera tomorrow and on from there.

[MamaBoo]

Thanks everyone. I am feeling fine this evening, and I am not too concerned over my little tumble. I slept all afternoon and I'm about ready to go back to dreamland. Wish I could sleep the remainder of my 2ww

[trying4second]

Sorry I can't catch up on all personals, but Crissy, sorry for all the drama and you are in our thoughts...this could be the happiest of endings with 2! So think good thoughts!

We saw a beautiful heartbeat today...though not without drama. I went into the office and started to take off my pants, but the nurse said the perinatologist was doing a stomach ultrasound, not a vaginal ultrasound...so he did the stomach ultrasound and then asked me to go empty my bladdar so he could do a vaginal ultrasound...it was the longest trek ever to the bathroom and back. I literally ran back to the office and almost pulled my pants down in the hospital hall I was so anxious! He did the vaginal ultrasound and there was the little heartbeat...at just over 6 weeks The doctor said "I was freaking out for a minute there..." not what you want to hear... and dude, you think YOU were freaking out!

Too much drama on the board, but hopefully good thoughts for all!

We go back for another ultrasound next Friday. Will keep you posted

Hugs!

[crissylove]

Fun-how amazing is this for you? "Winning, Duh" LOL Ya know I went back and looked through the threads and you were the first person to welcome me to the board. I'm super happy with your betas. Does your donor know the news yet?

Mamaboo-You're PUPO!!! I'm sure it's no big deal u slipped. May have helped implantation. Teehee

We-Glad you got some concrete details. Kinda puts some things at ease.

Trying-it must feel good to make that connection. It's so important at this stage. That's tremendous. I know you'll sleep well tonight.

AFM-they were unable to drain bcuz of where fluid collected. They wanted to go in through my abdomen but they wouldn't have been able to get to it. Too invasive. I agreed with the radiologist's conclusion. Not worth the risk. So I will have to deal with discomfort hopefully til about week 9 when ovaries stop being the boss. On a positive footnote, I found out my beta is 12,000 which is about right for 29dpo. So it's moving along.
