AGP The Society of RSSBD

[kele1129]

Welcome to the room of RSSBD! There is not a single spot of this thread that is not covered in RSSBD! So sit down, roll around, sneak some RSSBD in your pockets...do whatever it takes! The sisters of the AGP never give up!

[kele1129]

Well today is a bit better and also it is farmer's market day! Which means nice fresh greens and a helping of chicken curry on coconut rice! YUMMY! Then back home where Chris and I have hot and heavy plans....yeah right...we are cleaning out the basement...ugh. But hopefully we will come up with a huge pile of stuff to sell on Saturday at our yard sale. Oh and Monday I will get a new belly pic up...hopefully

How is everyone? Tell me some wonderful stories over the next few days ladies. I think we need some positive vibes.

Krista-Can I bother you to put together one of your amazing lists of where everyone is in their cycles? I myself am almost at 15 weeks (Mondays are my week changes)

Glenda-How's the tummy?

Juana-Are you feeling any better?

Sam-I have a wonderful new spicy tangy marinade for salmon, it is my new fave.

Argh...DH is ready to go now so you know what that means...it is time to go!

My love to you all! and of course...

*pulls out a secret stash of RSSBD and sprinkles all my sisters with it*

Greetings Cyber Sis-STARS. Kele, love the new thread...

I am not feeling so well. I had a terrible evening. TMI ALERT!!!

Last night around 9pm I started cramping really bad and when I got up, I started feeling something run down my leg, well needless o say, it was blood. I went to the rest room to cleanup and change undes, when I felt the pressure to urinate. When I sat on the toliet, I felt someting slide out..it was the biggest clot I have ever passed. Needless to say, I freaked out...I called Michael, he was hanging out with some friends, and he came home. We were going to go to the ER because I was cramping, but then they eased up and I had my OB/GYN doc paged. He called me back and told me not to worry unless the bleeding was heavy and the cramps became unbearable. He told me that it is quite normal to experience cramping and bleeding during pregnancy, even clotting. He told me to just relax and rest for the next few days and keep my appoint for Tuesday with my RE and to call if the pain became unbearable or te bleeding was extreme. I can't even tell you all how frightened I was, I couldn't stop crying. I haven't had any more bleeding and my cramps have been very minor. I am praying so hard that everything will be alright on Tuesday..

Sooo today, I am a couch potato! I went to the hair salon this morning and that's it. I still can't keep anything down much. I just made a delicious grilled cheese sandwich and toss it right back up...my Dh is mad because I won't eat, but that's not it at all, I try to eat, but it won't stay down. He told me to just eat a little bit...he is a caring man, but he just doesn't get it...I WANT TO EAT!!! I LOVE TO EAT...LOL...Food just won't stay down...and to make maters worse, I can no longer stomach my favorite food...FRIED CHICKEN!! That just upsets me more than anything..LOL..okay enough about me..

Glenda, thanks for the extra prayers. I really appreciate it!!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers...

Chat later...

[Asking4aMiracle]

OH JUANA I AM SO SORRY!! i know how scary it is TRUST me.......everything will be ok, and i know this is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack type thing but PLEASE DONT freak out!! stay calm, the baby feels every thing you feel, the calmer you are the baby knows and the more you believe that baby is ok, it will be ok. we are all here for you, we love you and your little one and like i said, i know how scary it is and just to give you a heads up, it doesnt go away. im just over 17 weeks and still scared to death that something is not right. even after a great dr visit, its still scary!! you will be ok!!! *hugs* just rest and relax and talk to that little one in there!!

[Savanha]

Just saw the update.

Tij: I ditto what Amberlee said...I know it isn't easy, but do try as best you can to relax. I want to share this with you...not sure if you've read it before...I know I shared it w/Helen. Anyways, when my mom was preggers w/my sister...she cramped really bad...went to the bathroom & also lost a Clot...she said it was sooooo HUGE she called my Dad & went to ER(they told her to bring the clot in...that is how HUGE it was)-Wow...talk about TIM-sorry all. At any rate...she just lost a clot & my baby sister was born just fine...no problems @ all & easy delivery. So...I hope although a very tmi story it helps to calm you a little. ;o) The resting relaxing is a great idea. Oh yeah...my bff also bled and was so upset...think it was for a couple days, but the doc told her it was alright and she stopped after those 2 days, but spotted every now & then there after. She had her baby girl w/o anes or anything in 2 hrs. ;o) Feel better Lovey...here's a biG Ole' smackeroo sloppy cheek kiss to ya & a giNormOus ((((((HuG))))) to ya. ;o)

Amberlee: I ditto what Tij said...we want to see belly pics. ;o)

[Juana824]

Thanks Savanah !!!

[kp1212]

Sam-day 6 (I think) of stims, making lots of follies (15 so far)!
Krista- trigger shot Sunday 9-7, retrieval on Tues. 9-9 (I pray!)
Latrice-CD19, doing a natural cycle
FaithNHim-recovering from tubal reversal (haven’t seen her around in a while!)
Wanting4-beta was on Wednesday 8-20 (haven’t heard the results!)
Hoping4_2 (Jenea)-???
Evie-CD10, doing clomid and IUI

And of course, our success stories…
Helen-preggo (~21 weeks)
Heather-preggo with Henry and Cadence (~32 weeks)
Kari-preggo with triplets (~17 weeks)
Kele-preggo (~14 5/7weeks); master of the RSSBD!
Amberlee-preggo (~17 weeks)
Anxious2-preggo with twins (13 weeks)
Glenda- preggo (~7 weeks)
Tijuana-preggo (6 4/7 weeks)!!!!!
Ascott-preggo (5 weeks)  

Tijuana,  I'm sorry you had such a had night!  Try try TRY to relax (yes, I know, easier said than done).  You are strong, and your baby is strong as well.  Focus on growing little junior!!!  xoxo!

Glenda, great news!  The ms sounds awful though.

AFM, I had another monitor appt. this morning.  The follies on the left are now at 21, 15, 13.5 and 11.  The right follie is only 8.  Lining is at 14.5.  E2 has plateued at 523.  The RE just called me.  We decided to push one more day of stims and try to grow the smaller follicles, then trigger would be Sunday and ER on Tuesday.  If the follicles are no more mature tomorrow, then we will trigger on Sunday and do IUI on Monday and Tuesday.  Of course there is a risk to push the meds one more day, especially since the E2 isn't rising.  My body/ovaries may very well be saying "no more" and will stop responding, and then we could lose the one mature follicle that we have.  Bottom line is that the odds aren't good any way you look at it (RE said ~10-15% for IUI and maybe 20% for IVF).  Not good odds, but they are better odds than if I did nothing!

So, again I ask my girls to keep their fingers and toes crossed, say some prayers and send lots and lots of RSSSSSBD my way!!!

Love you all!!

Krista

[Helen72]

Juana,
as you know, I was bleeding and passing clots for weeks and that did not affect my baby.  I know how stressful seeing red is but I pray that your baby is doing well and growing.  

Krista,
I hope those smaller follies get their act together and mature!!!

Savanha,
good luck to you this cycle!  Are you doing IUI or trying naturally?

[Savanha]

Helen: I'm doing natural this cycle...if no BFP, then IUI. We really didn't have a choice this time due to cycle starting ultra late, etc. So...we will see. Thanks for the encouragment. ;o)

Krista: I'm praying that all will go well and that the one follie won't get bigger then the others. I hope you'll still do a  IUI if so. 'o) Either way...I got it all crossed, but my knees are what I'm counting on. ;o)

Thanks so much for the update.

Anyone in touch with Sal?

Savanha~~

[kp1212]

Yeah, I heard from ol' Sal earlier today.  She lurking around here somewhere!

K

[evie23]

Hello ladies.  Juana just take it easy and try to relax, i'm praying that everything is all good. I hope everyone is doing well. I have a question i am doing clomid day 5-9 but now my sides are very tender. Is that normal?

[kele1129]

Juana- Hang in there girly, that baby knows that it is safe right where it is and won't go anywhere!

Krista- Thanks ever so much for the update, way to make sure we actually look like we TTC around this here thread! *sneaks Krista special follie growing cocktail made especially to give follie an added 'oomph'*

Ugh we have been shoving things in boxes for the yard sale for 7 hours now....I can't begin to explain what packrats DH and I are. But we are getting rid of so much stuff...yay! I have been having to take breaks through out the day bit feel ok really.

Loves an' hugs.

[Glenda306]

Kele--I was pretty sick yesterday, but I've felt better today and now I'm worried because I AM feeling a little better.

Juana--You are still in my prayers.

[kp1212]

Hey!  Where is everybody?!?

Had my last monitor appt today... 4 follicles on the left (21.5, 17.5, 14 and 11) and 1 on the right (8).  Unless the bloodwork comes back today showing my E2 has dropped, then we are going to retrieval my friends!  Trigger tonight (sunday) and ER on Tuesday.  I don't have alot of follicles/eggies to work with, but it only takes one right?!?

I AM SOOOO NERVOUS!  This is my first retrieval!!!

Happy Sunday...today God is resting, but tomorrow and Tuesday he needs to get back to work because I need his help!!!!  :-)

[kele1129]

Krista- I am so happy for you that they are going for the retrieval. I found that after both of mine that I wanted to stay in bed for retrieval day and the day after. And yes it only takes one embie my friend!

Don't be nervous, you know the drill around the AGP, we will be nervous for you and you get to be the excited one!

*hands Krista one last super enriched RSSBD milkshake...with whipped cream and a cherry* Drink that and all will be well. (((((HUGS)))))

Glenda-Don't you be nervous either. I was sick once in the first trimester and that was due to waiting to long to eat so when I did....you get the picture. I just suffered from nausea and these forsaken headaches. So be happy that you are not sick daily...I'm sure Amberlee would trade in a heartbeat. ^_^

Girls I think I might have to break and get a few tops and maybe a pair of jeans...I am feeling so sausaged into my clothes right now. But the good news is that I have a completely free ride for school this year! I recieved enough grants so that I don't have to pay anything (^_^) That is me looking pleased. I am so grateful that I cried when I got the last grant letter.  Maybe the state will follow suit and help with insurance this week. Only 3 more weeks to wait to find out (hopefully) what flavor baby we are growing here....Well back to yard sale packing.

loves and hugs
Kele

[magda_s]

Krista, I'm SO happy for you that you get to do the retrieval.  And there's nothing to it... honest.  My first one was utter bliss because they used some really cool anasthetic.  Sadly the second one was nasty because they used a really nasty anasthetic but that's Syria for you. It's probably the only country left in the world that still uses that kind!!
Have everything crossed for good bloowork results.

Kele, congrats on the grants.  That's brilliant!!
Can't wait to hear if it's a boy or a girl!!!!!!

As for me, I just had my last neuro appointment and it went real well.  I was actually getting rather worried and depressed over the last couple of days because there were a few things I thought were really bad signs but he batted each one right out of the field and has just about convinced me to put this attack behind me and return to life as normal.  Given a few days, i'm sure I'll get there.  It's just been a bit exhausting.

Hugs to all

[kp1212]

Kele, That's great news about the grants!!!  Yippe!!  Must be a load off your mind.  I hate to be stingy, but does that have to be the last serving of RSSSBD for me?  I still have quite a few hurdles to jump!  ;-)

Magda, Glad you are hanging in there with the stupid neuro stuff.  What a royal pain in the arss!  And I can't wait for your FET...I have a good feeling for you!!!  

Thanks for the support girlies!  I am quickly heading (aka plunging) into neurotic/nervous mode!!!  

[wanting4#1]

Hi Everyone!  I am sure that I have missed a ton (heck, I don't even recognize most of the names that are posting right now!)  I know that there is no way to catch up, so I'll just start fresh and hope that I catch most of you!! :)


Juana - I am so sorry that you are experiencing this, but I agree with all that relaxing and taking your mind off is the best thing that you can do!  The last I checked your numbers were out of this world - any idea how many babies you have in there?  Thanks for the nice note welcoming me back, too!

Krista - good luck with the retrieval! Plan on resting and getting spoiled afterwards - that's what my DH did! :)  Also, for your update, I didn't get beta last month - AF showed and now I am on CD17 and I have either O'd or will any minute!

Kele - It's nice to have things come together, isn't it?  I would love to be able to go back to school and finish my degree in Interpreting, but it's not in the cards for me! I have a great deal of admiration for people like you, so keep it up! :)

Magda - I hope that this is 'the' cycle for you.  You deserve a break from all that you have had to put up with!

Savanha - I'm also doing natural cycles now, so I hope that we both get our BFPs this month!

Helen - glad to hear that things are going so well in your pregnancy now!  That's a place I hope to be very soon!

AFM, vacation was wonderful!  I didn't want to come home....I was made to live in the hot weather and DH is not, so here we are; stuck in boring ol' Columbus! Ick!  But it was really nice taking a break from all of this 'mental' stuff with ttc!  We were just together and laughing (heck, I didn't even know what CD I was on until I just looked!)  Hopefully, this will be the month for us, but I know that if not this month, soon and that's really helped ease my anxiety about the whole thing!

TTFN! :)

[Juana824]

Lisa - Thanks and your welcome. They are not sure since they cannot detect a fetal pole. I will know more on Tuesday.

Magda - Get some rest...you have had quite some trying days this week! HOpe everything is smooth sailing from here on out!

Krista - Still rooting for ya lady! I am sure things will work out just fine!!

Where is Alaska Sam??? She has been MIA this weekend! Sally too...

AFM - I am still sick as ever. I pray that this is still a sign of good things to come. I am tired and really hate that my vacationis over and it's back to work I go!!

Oh yea, Kele...Congrats on your grants! That's awesome!!

Well I think my dinner is trying to make a return...I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Peace Love and Baby Dust to All!!

Tijuana

[blessedmomof3]

Hey ladies,

Sorry I haven't been around much, jsut was so devistated when AF arrived. but I'm better now and back for more!!!!!! I'm 9DPO and not sure if I should even try this month. I mean they do say that it is a waste of time for us. DH got another SA done last week and I am real confused about the results, so we are going to see a specialist his GP is recomending. Hopefuly they can shed some light for us. I'm hoping it's good. From the way I read it, it looks as though we have a 50/50 chance, but I'm afraid to get my hopes up again. Count is good, and motility doesn't look too bad. Any opinions are welcomed.

Volume 2
Count 123,500,000
Appearance Grey/Trans
Viscosity Increased
WBC 6-10
Motile 80%
Forward Motile Grade 4+
Normal Sperm 56%
Neck 10%
Tail 4%

[kp1212]

Hoping, I'm certainly no expert, but the SA looks good to me!  My DH has had a couple, with much less positive results.  His motility is only 15%!  Good luck!!

Wanting, Sorry about the beast AF.  We'll keep our fingers crossed that this is the month!

AFM...I JUST GOT MY TRIGGER SHOT!!!

WOO HOO!!!  Never thought I would be so excited about getting a huge ol' needle stuck in my bootie, but WHOOP!  There it is!

Appt for retrieval is 7:00 am on Tuesday!

[Helen72]

Hoping 4_2,
with over 123 mln count your dh must be a superman  :)

Krista,
I am so excited you made it to retrieval this time.  Hoping for a few good embryos for you!!

Juana,
I hope you and your baby are doing well.

Kele,
congrats on getting grant money!  Collge is so difficult to afford these days.  I guess it's time for you to start buying prego cloth.  The good news is that regular cloth these days looks just like prego cloth.

wanting,
good luck to you next cycle!
