December Cycle Buddy Group week ending December 19th....

[bulldogmommy]

bronx, I totally agree with ohmybaby. You absolutely do not need to be dehydrating yourself, and you should just wait until in the morning (when you'll be another day along anyway) and see what it says then. Don't torture yourself unnecessarily.

special, I am SO, SO sorry to hear that your cycle was cancelled. Good luck talking to your RE. He/she better give you some good answers.

Rachell, waiting for you beta results is bad enough; I can't believe they don't give them to you until the second day! I guess in some ways, though, that takes some of the anticipation between betas out of it. Mine are supposed to be on those same days (12/21 and 12/23), but they agreed to move them up a day to accommodate our travel plans. DH thinks I should leave them on the original dates because they schedule them that way for a reason, and I could probably squeeze it in the morning of the 23rd before we leave that afternoon. I wouldn't go back to work quite yet if I were you. I know a couple of flight attendants, and from what they've told me, it seems like it can be a pretty physically demanding job (in addition to any issues raised by the flying itself). Good luck!

We transferred 2 blasts yesterday! Although that is what we discussed with our RE, he started questioning our decision due to my UU. It was odd because that is what we discussed prior to my retrieval?!? We did 2 last time and only 1 worked so we are hoping we increased our odds of a BFP by doing the same thing again!!! We cryo'd 2 as well. My beta is on 12/22.

I hope everyone is doing ok!!!

Well cycle was officially cancelled today...even with increasing meds no response at all. I have been stimming for 12 days. So I will meet with RE later this week or next week and discuss options. I guess after anger wears off I will form list of questions for him. I just don't understand this...could the slow response been from lupron supression who knows really I don't even want to think about it so angry!

I am sorry!

I think your biggest question would be do you need to be on BCP (if you were on them) before your cycle and if you could be on more stimulation drugs? I hope they are able to give you samples or donated meds because cases like yours are the EXACT reason I donated all my meds after I was done.

Good luck and please keep us posted!

AFM - 12/21 Beta 1, 12/23 Beta 2. My RE does 2 betas 2 days apart but won't give results until the second one is in (10 days away! ) I'm 2dp3dt, don't feel a thing (except nipple tenderness which I've had the whole time.) I'm also debating on when I should go back to work. I'm a flight attendant and I don't want to risk anything!!!! There are many different opinions on heavy flying and pregnancy and I'm not sure what to do.

Take care all

I am sorry you have to wait to 2 blood draws before you know for sure. To me that means that they want you to POAS.

As far as flying I am rather conservative and I would try to avoid it during the first and third trimesters. However taking that much time off work may not be an option for you so I would do what you need to do. My thinking is I will not get a flu shot while in the first trimester so why would I put myself in a situation that gives me more radiation then normal. The third trimester is because you can pop at any time and that isn't good 3000 feet in the air!

CHILD MENTIONED
Today is 9DP3DT.

I did it again-POAS. Used the Clear Digital that say Pregnant or Not Pregnant. It said Not.

Sigh.

So....not sure now and I think I am torturing myself. lol...but aren't we all?

My chest no longer is sore. But, I feel low pressure-almost like a cramp but it is consistent low pressure. This pressure has been ongoing for the last 2-3 days. No spotting. On another weirdness-I usally have a ton of GERD, no matter what I eat. Also, tend to get sick frequently because of it. Last night I ate something and was a bit more than I normally eat. Nothing. I had no GERD, no sickness. And-I went to bed super early.

But of course-that can all be explained.

So-my confession. I "think" I have mentioned that I have a child. He is 8.

The confession: When I was pregnant with him, I actually didn't know until 12 weeks. He was a special surprise blessing. I even bled like a menstrual cycle which is why I never knew.

So-why in my pea brain I think I should feel symptoms at 7 days when I didn't even know for 12 weeks is beyond me. LOL.....

It sounds like you may be one of those people that gets a positive beta before they get a positive HPT. If that is the case I think you should save your money. You are one in a million!

I hope everyone is doing ok!!!

Congratulations on your transfer! Impressive that you also have 2 frozen!

Congratulations!!!

Ladybugs, how did you donate your meds? My husband and I were talking about that the other day. We were lucky enough to have insurance cover most of the cost of the meds, but we'd love to help out someone who doesn't if we are lucky enough not to have to do another cycle right away.

I gave them back to my clinic. However now I am in a different world so I think I wouldn't donate them to my clinic but to my other RE (yeah how sad is that that I have 2 RE's) but that is because she works with cancer patients in including the people that get cancer young before they even find a spouse or are ready for children. So she does a lot of egg freezing and I like the thought of helping a cancer victims.

My RE didn't take them all back. Just the ones that were unopened and not pills.

Myreality - Yay for 2 blasts & 2 frosties

I was window shopping poas's today...stepdaughter yanked them out of my hand! I promise to wait until 10dp3dt!!!!!!!

If I'm bfn, back to work asap, bfp?? Heavy bev carts, huge carry ons, pressurization, jet lag, crazy hours...we'll see, I have to do more research. My RE isn't too concerned, but I am, I don't think she realizes truly what my job involves.

By the end of next week we'll all know!!

Would your job let you do counter work while you are pregnant?

I may be biased on this because I once had a severely delayed plane that had to get a new crew, and they sent a pregnant woman for an overnight flight (flight would get there and then leave the next morning) and so we all had to wait longer.
