Cupid Club week of 02/04

Happy Monday!

I started the Follistim and reduced the Lupron Saturday evening...and I feel like a bloated whale already...but that's fine with me, every time I get a sharp or twinging pain in one or both ovaries I keep telling myself, GROW FOLLIES GROW!!!

The only other effect from the Follistim that I'm having is an insane amount of gas... Oh well, now I can really keep up with DH

I go in for my next u/s and E2 level on Thursday am, and we're still shooting for ER somewhere between 2/13-2/15. I can't believe it's so close already!

Has anyone ever had AF like cramps after HCG shot?, that's want I'm having at the minute and I'm a little worried...also I have gone from having sore nipples on Saurday to having full on sore (.)(.)'s today...why can't these symptoms wait till I start Progesterone, then I would know the reason.

Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated

Hi wan2b3,

well, I don't feel like any major symptoms, but I keep getting hot and feel like my temp wont go down. It seems to have stayed up. I also have some mild on and off cramping...especially after I use the bathroom..# 1 and 2...lol!! My boobs seemed more sore when I was stimming...now they are still sore, but not as much. I have a funny sensation above and below my belly button sometimes, and my back aches a little. I went shopping the other day and got soooo flushed...I was beet red, and sooo tired that we couldn't finish shopping...my mom was concerned....it was strange, but I don't know what that was about, but I think it may heva been when I still had ome mild ohss, so I am not banking on it too much. I did end up sleeping a lot that day after that though. Other than those things, I feel pretty normal. I am sooooo worried that it wil be negative. I hav been so positive throughout this whole thing, but as it gets closer, I am getting scared. I hope this wasn't a wasted cycle. I keep thinking one of those babies had to have made a home...lol!! I did poas but everyone tells me I did it too early, then when it was neg, I didn't continue to do it anymore and decided to wait for the real deal. That was about 6 days past 5 day transfer...but I had early blasts, and I also hear that implantation can take as long as 10-12 days even. I have heard stories where ladies will poas even on the day of beta and come out with a neg, and then get a ++++++++, so I am not putting much thought into that...I was only 11dpo, so anything could have happened after that...I truly believe it was too early. Tomorrow will tell the truth!!!!

Well, I hope you are feeling and doing well. Can't wait till you get closer too!!!!

Ocean: Ahhh -the joys of the 2ww! All of those could be everything and nothing. If only we had a way to know sooner. With all this technology they can't find a way to test sooner? LOL

The beet red incident is really strange. I'm glad it was a one time only thing!

I agree 6dp5dt is inconclusive -i.e. it's a good thing you didn't keep testing. I agree, it's best to wait for the beta if you can -kudos to you for holding out.

I'm just hanging out here waiting till I leave to go to the clinic for mt ET.


Vixen: I did have mild nausea the next am, but then it was gone. No cramping though.

Stimulation day 4! I went for my morning blood draw and ultrasound. I have 5 or six follicles on each side! The smallest measures 8 and the largest 13 but most are 10! She said my uterus is already looking beautiful. I couldn't be more pleased! At my age good news is GOOD!

Loie - I'm looking forward to being transfer buddies with you and Ray!
Vixen - You had asked me about the intravaginal Prometrium; well I'm to start 2 days after retrieval. Sorry about your sore boobies! That is no fun at all! Good luck on your retrieval!
Ocean - I'm so looking forward to your beta results! I know it's hard to wait, sounds like you avoided the evil p sticks! You are leading the pack, we are all waiting too!
Anomoly - Welcome to the stim zone!

Awesome news Trina! Congrats!!!

They didn't say. I have to call the phone tree line to get my results, they post results around 4. The recorded message tells me what doses to do or stay at and when my next blood draw is. Right now ER is possibly the 11th. I wonder if it's going to be sooner than that?
I'm excited!
