Congrats Andika. 9 seems good!

Kore - Can't help but does seem RE knows what they are doing and are on top of things...Trust the process. Hugs. AND you are almost there!!!!

[melican]

Sweetshell - Are you proactive with the OHSS? Already upper your protein, sodium and water or gatorade? I had mild OHSS but it was awful. Hope you can just take it easy.

Sn -Sorry about poor dd. She'll be fine. Can't wait to hear about ER.


Misty - YOU ARE PREGNANT! Maybe even twins since you are getting such early results?!?!

Sorry for all that I missed.

[Trinity70]

Andika, 9 is great.... Yay!!! hope they all fertilize for you. and then maybe you can have more than just one from this cycle.

Sngray, i'm sure your little one will be fine today while you are doing the ER. I'm can't wait to hear how it goes for you.

Melican, how are you feeling? are you on bedrest at all?

Sweetshell, how's things look? any sign that ohss is rearing its ugly head? hopefully not.

Raven, I've done that... said things for the response factor... lol sadly when I have done it, I haven't been surprised with an unexpected response.

Misty,... so... beta? whats the numbers? thinking good thoughts for you. And don't listen to that stupid, unprofessional comment from RE. I'm excited for you.

Lisette, For the last few months, I have been thinking quite a bit about the people in my life and who I would and wouldn't want around my child and influencing my child. I guess that is why I have begun to really back off from some of those relationships. It is what it is.

Wendellets, How are you doing?

More personals later... must get ready for work.

AFM nothing new... still sore from AF, still a little heavy.

[tosha]

Getting ready for school drop offs, but I'm happy to see a new thread as our last weeks was loooong lol!

Good luch sngray!!!

[BC-Alexismith]

Andika:- 9 is great... quality over quantity. Im so glad everything went well for you. can't wait to get an emby update!

Sngray:- youre probably on your way to the clinic right now, thinking of you. I know its all going to be fine....sweet dreams!

Trinity:- Have you tried getting a massage.. i know that probably sounds weird but i had a HorrifiC bleed after a uterine infection last year...enough to make me curl up and sob (i didn't do that after i broke my arm and collarbone last summer) hubby took me back to the dr it was so bad.. they sent me tosit in a hot tub for about thirty mins (at the YMCA of all places) and then once i could stand it they got me a lumbar massage from the in house masseuse... good dolly i felt better.... eased the worst of it and it was bearable enough i could watch tv at home on my heating pad...

[andika]

misty-do you have a number for us?

alex- how many embies are still game?

trinity-dont have advice for painrelief as I am not in pain often, just hope you will feel better soon!

melican how is the 2ww going?

mom 2one- when is your beta? sorry dont recall.

dear ALL: please check the chart and see if all is correct, dates, details, and if not please pm me so that I can correct it. thank you all for your patience with me! I am usually doing a better job at this.

afm-DH called , told me his boss might be coming to visit on monday-so he wont be able to come to israel probably jsut wednesday or so-which completely would piss me off, as my Mom is leaving sunday, and how the heck am I supposed to take care of DS when I have 5dt monday? and supposed to be on bedrest!so hope he will make sure to postpone his bosses impromtu visit...wrong timing
other than that, I feel HUGE today, gained 3 kilos in just a few days, my feet look swollen , so probably jus some water retention, peeing all the time, hope it goes down soon.

[BC-Alexismith]

Andika:- just keep drinking... the more fluid in the more fluid you'll flush out... be carefull...my clinic says call if you gain more than a kilo in a day! It should pass though!

A quick update:

the embryologist just called! of my 14eggs 11 fertilized! of those 6 continued to divide normally! we have SIX embabies as of thismorning. he seems really confident that those six will tough it out to 5dt and that ill have a couple make it to freeze! im a little dissapointed that they didn't all make it but im also really happy that 6 are going strong... fingers crossed ladies i need all the positive vibes i can get! heres praying for a sunday transfer!

I did my first PIO too! i was so freaked out by that needle and DH is useless at that sort of thing so once i was all set up i decided to do it just like i do when its the horses! so i cleaned the skin and had the shot ready (vial warmed in bra) gave myself three sharp slaps to the inj. site and stabbed! no pain at all... pushed it in slow and got hubby to rub it in before he fixed tea and breakfast... sitting on the heating pad... and here comes eggs on toast!
Thinking of you and lounging around...
Alexi

[wendellets]

Andika, thanks for the new thread... I am sorry to hear that you DH can't get to you next week. What terrible timing for his boss! Do you have anyone else who can help? Great news on getting 9! To fill in my details on the board - this was IVF #2 ER 13 eggs, 3dt 2 embies Beta #1 10 Beta #2 3

Reedy - any news on e2? Hope all is well!

Sngray - Hope ER is going well. I am sure your mom will take good care of DD! Can't wait to hear the news!

Lisette - are you haning in there on the 2ww?

Alexi-enjoy a few days rest before ET! Any news yet?

Bebe - I hope the us goes well today

Sweetshell - feeling OK? Hope ne OHSS!

Raven - I just focused that you had started again - where have I been. So how long on BCP? I have a little breakdown everyday as well - thinking of you!

Kore - I know those egss are growing like crazy today!

Misty - Stay positive and ENJOY this time!

Monkeysangel - I was't my first round, only lupron, and they thought that I had too much down regulation so they changed everything and did BCP and lupron flare the secon time. I think it is different for everyone and every cycle... hang in there!

Mom2One - I didn't feel normal for 7 days... Hope you are doing well!

Trinity - thanks for checking in. I am hanging in there. Only having short bursts of crying... I just started AF today and I am with you - this one is hell! The only thing I had was the tylenol with codein from ER so I took one and now I am about to fall asleep in my classroom! Hell! Thanks for sharing your story! It is fun to hear about what goes on in your real life outside of infertility...

AFM I talked with RE yesterday when I got the second Beta back. It was a 3 which is the lowest number I have ever heard. As I said, I started AF also. So, we are taking a month off meds and I will start BCP at my next period. That will put me into summer for ER and ET which will be better, I think. I am still kind of wondering if I am making the wrong decision and I should just start BCP tomorrow on day 2 of AF. See, evertime I make a decision I second guess myself...

[bebehope]

A quick good morning!

Wendellets- hugs to you. This is such a tough journey...be kind to your heart.

Melican- have you been on bedrest? How's the waiting treating you?

Alexi- your 6 embabies sound so promising, and your embryologist sounds really positive, which is great!

sngray- thinking of you today!

Andika- sorry for hubby's absence. I hope he gets it worked out...

Fellow Stimmers- how is everyone feeling?

DH was holding our niece (2) last night and she fell asleep on him. It was so sweet to see, and when it was time to go he asked "can we take this one home with us?" Ohh I want this to work so badly, we are aching to be parents!

Sending good thoughts to everyone... See you all tonight!
