JUNE/JULY 09 cycle buddies

[nicksgam]

Hi Ladies,
Sorry I haven’t posted for some time, I have been keeping up with everyone’s progress. I have been so tired these days; I can barely make it through work.
A couple of weeks ago I was having some pain, so the doctor wanted to see me. Had an u/s and we were able to see the baby’s heart beat and everything looked good. I had another u/s this week and the baby’s heart beat was strong at 160bpm. We have officially been released from the clinic.
I will continue to stay updated and will do personals when I am able.
Sending LOTS of PMA and baby dust,
Nicole

hi everyone

praying4bfp - i'm sorry to hear about your mum and your cancelled cycle. Hope it all works out ok for you.

chris - big hugs. how damn frustrating.

As for me had another bloodtest and beta went from 45 to 193 (22dpo). The numbers are still way to low for a healthy pregnancy. Have another bt on Monday and if the hcg is still doing weird stuff they will book me in for a scan to rule out ectopic. On the brighter side of things, I have stopped bleeding and spotting after 14 days!!!!!

have a great weekend everyone.

PRAYERS & BABYDUST to all

Hi everyone thanks for your well wishes, sorry I haven't updated I have been SOOO sore. I guess I am borderline OHSS, I feel for those who have had OSHH. I am so bloated and and in pain I slept all day Tuesday and Wednesday, and now Friday I woke up in even more pain then the past couple days, but I went back to work last night and was on my feet all evening so that's probably why. So anyway for the details: ER Tuesday morning they retrieved 57 eggs I was one shy of the record! My DH did his part while I was in and he had 3 sperm so they made him give another sample right away and again 3 or 4 sperm So they thawed both of his frozen samples and they must of found some more because they ICSIed 38 eggs. They called Wednesday morning (my birthday also) and said 18 fertilized!! They called this morning and said it will be a 5dt so Sunday morning. So we are very excited, and maybe a smig nervous

One more thing: I was not going to tell me BF our time line because if we got preg we wanted to surprise her, but I of course told her everything and she has been losing sleep over it all, she is so nervous for us, she has her own fertility problems and she knows what we have been through for the past 3 years, and just worries. Soooo I DH told her our cycle was canceled (which sounds horrible because some of you have had your cycles canceled) but she said "well its meant to be that way" and has relaxed about it all (for now) I was uncomfortable with DH telling her that at first because it feels like a lie and I don't lie, but now she will have no stress thinking about and worrying about us (for now) what do you all think are we the worlds biggest jerks or what? IT might sound ridiculous but we really are doing it for her. Thanks for your in put, thinking of you all -Kasey

Well, this morning I caved in and POAS. I got a super faint pink line that could only be seen under bright light. So I told DH we should wait until beta on monday. But I coludn't go thru the day without thinking about it for me it was the light reflecting the other line but DH was sure it was a +. So, I bought the first response that shows YES or NO. And POAS later this morning forgot about it went to buy a coffe(decaf) and when I came back there was a YES. Is this posible? I mean I've never seen a + on HPT so not sure what to think?? Is it too early? I think is 11dpo and 8dpt. Not sure if I should be happy??

This has been the worst 2ww of all!!! I've been crying, sad I have NO time for myself or to be pampered, I didn't tell anyone about this round so it's just crazy!!!

[CT_Michele]

Kayce- definitely not too early to get a positive hot, trigger should be gone, and for all the time I have spent on these boards, the average real positive shows up between 10-12dpo, so sounds real to me! Congrats!

KJ- HOLY MOLY 57 EGGS! That is insane, I have never seen numbers like that, and you be careful about that OHSS. I have heard some very nasty stories. 18 fertilized is awesome. And as far as your friend goes, if it was bothering her that much, maybe it is better she thinks it's over. I just hope in the end you get to tell her that you are pregnant, that would be an awesome surprise for her! I know how you feel though about "lying," I hate stretching the truth about anything, I am usually brutally honest no matter what, unless it will cause someone hurt, which is exactly what is happening with your friend, I am sure she will understand your reasoning and be fine with it.

Babiesgalore over on the other thread (july/august) posted an awesome article that you guys should read. I guess it was featured on good morning america today, and it is such a heartwarming story that can give us all hope. Enjoy!

I will check in again later, I had a lot planned today, but cancelled it all when I woke up feeling crummy, so I am just hanging out in my air conditioned living room all day, occupying the baby waiting for dh to get home around 9 tonight.

THAT IS REALLY EXCITING! I've never received a + on a HPT either, so I'm not sure what to think, but it sounds promising! Keep us posted!!

[Daisy106]

KAYCE - I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD CHEAT!!! That is an HPT BFP girlie!! I got mine at 8p3dt, so I do not think that you are not early at all!!! Don't you love the YES or NO sticks, expensive, but in the early stages well worth it!! I continued to pee on a line stick every mornng, and kept them all (I know, crazy). I loved seeing the line get darker!

I am so excited for you!!!!!! I have really been praying for you. Keep up the chant and continue to pamper yourself. I have a good feeling for a strong Beta on Monday!!! See, it only takes one and whole lot of faith!!!

WHERE YOU PLACE YOUR WILL, THERE YOU WILL ACHIEVE.

Well, it looks like my retrieval will be on Monday. I was hoping it would be Sunday, but I heard from my nurses and they want me to come in AGAIN tomorrow morning for blood and sono. I guess my estrogen levels are still climbing. This morning I had some HUGE follicles!

[lw918]

girls! just thought I'd give a quick update (on both boards haha)

Had my appointment for u/s and bw this morning as well as the consult. After discussing things further with our doc I believe we'll be choosing to fert. all.
The nurse did my sono and was totally shocked at how much my follicles had grown in two days! I am definatly feeling it. Stopped to check out countertops on my way home and I must have been a real site to see! I was shuffling along real slow trying not to pick my feet up too high because if I step too hard it hurts SO BAD!
They want me to return tomorrow for another sono and bloodwork, which means waking up at 400 a.m. again. The doctor said today he felt that the retrival would probably happen on wednesday (The 22) but that is totally up to what we see tomorrow. They never dreamt my follicles would be this large today because they were still so tiny wednsday so who knows what tomorrow will bring! Playing it by ear
And now I'm off for a quick nap. Getting only 4 hours of sleep and driving every morning has started to take a toll. Hoping that ER comes quick and I can have a bit of a break from driving all of the time!

Hi Ladies,
It's time to bid farewell. It's been so great sharing our personal experiences with each other. I felt as if I was a part of your journeys these past two months. I laughed & cried with you throughout this June/July cycle. I can't thank you enough for all your kind words, support & prayers. I wish only the best for you. I will continue to pray that each one of you gets your BFP.

I'm moving over to March 2010 mommies. I am 6.5 weeks pregnant & due March 8th give or take 4 days. And yes, I am having twins! I wish you all the best & will always remember all of my June/July cycle buddies.

God Bless,
Sabixxoo

[lw918]

congrats and good luck sabi!

I am hanging on right now. About an hr ago I started bleeding with bad cramps. I called the doctor on call who told me I can go ahead and be seen in the ER but I decided to wait a little to see if it stops on its own. Please pray for me and my 3 little ones. I am not ready to let go of any.

[marymeganB]

Ladies, I just took a warm bath for about 5-10 minutes. I'm flipping out. Was that bad? After I did it, I felt like I read somewhere that I should avoid baths. It wasn't a 20 minute relaxing bath, just a short bath b/c I didn't want to shower! YIKES!

[lw918]

MaryMegan: My paperwork just says not to take baths in the two weeks following the ET. I think you'll be ok since they've not done the ER yet There are so many rules to remember aren't there?!
