AGP, follies, fetuses and Mojitos - Life is good

[babyalive]

You ask, I deliver here's the new post:  

Dee - sorry the nasal spray makes you gag.  What is your next step?

Heather - We need to start a birthday chart!  Don't you think?

Helen - Happy, happy birthday!

Ladies, please post your birthdays so I can start a chart.  I don't want to miss any of yours!

I did ask about  2 IUI's versus one.  I got the same answer I always get.  "There are no studies that suggest 2 IUI's are better than one well timed IUI.  We will certainly do 2 if you want two, but we don't believe it is any more helpful than one well timed IUI."   Since I'm being monitored daily with u/s now and taking the meds to stop ovulation.  I'm pretty confident this IUI will be very well timed.

Hi Sam... and welcome...
I was just on the new post and I didn't see you there so I wondered if you had figured out how to get to it.
I'm not sure how you are accessing this particular thread so forgive me if I sound condescending but I'm assuming you're not accessing it from the main forum page and are perhaps not familiar with that page... besides, I'm also extremely anal !!!  So, here's what you need to do:
At the top of this thread, click on "BACK TO FORUM" next to the green "Post a Question" button.
When you're back to the forum, look for the title "AGP Dance off continues".
That's all there is to it.
See you there.

[SamLB]

thank you! does that mean that what I just posted on the old thread nobody will read?

[SamLB]

Thanks to all of you for welcoming me and being so friendly! I'm sure a lot of you know that I live in Italy which is why I'm not always online at the same time as you guys, so it seems like I'm behind...but eventually I catch up!
I just want to say that I'm so happy to have found this thread of ladies who are, despite going IUI or IVF, still maintaining a bloody great sense of humour - I am one of you and also glad to have found you guys who are also yes, dying to have a baby but also are ready to have a giggle about things too.
Good luck to all of you!

ms320 : I know you are all a crazy bunch! I wouldn't have joined up with you lot if you'd all been normal!!!!

Helen72 : thank you so much for welcoming me so warmly...as I said to ms320, I know I'm in for a bunch of laughs with you guys, and everything that goes with it. I'll keep you posted about the next IUI.

jen7900 : yes, we're exactly at the same point!!!! thank you for your welcome - let's keep updated. how are you doing? I can't wait to have the next IUI - even if it means going into the awful 2WW!!!

HeathJo + fifi blue : thank you so much! I'll catch up with you tomorrow (the time difference means I'm always out of sinc with you lot - sorry!
HeathJo : thanks for giving encouragement that I'll eventually get to know who's on what etc etc...and yes, Dee is doing a fine job, isn't she -

Have a fab w/e all of you - don't hold back on the BDing!

[Helen72]

Here's a link to our new thread that Lisa started:
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/465905

Every time we have a new thread, look for AGP in the title  :)

[SamLB]

Empty (Dee - that's much better!!!) thank you so much for everything you're doing here - you're doing a grand job. Thank you for your lovely welcome too - yeah, I think it's great too to hear from people all round the world and in the same situation that we're in). Anyway, to answer your question: my first round of injectables was puregon - to stimulate my folllicles which were being a bit bloody lazy! The  reason why I didn't get to IUI point after these injs was a lack of uterus 'mucus' - but that's my personal defect (RE confirmed!) - so nothing to do with the meds themselves - the problem was me, so don't worry.... if Puregon shows some signs of not working for you personally, then your RE will tell you and have you change meds. hang in there - we're all going to get there in the end!

[SamLB]

HELP ME! How do I get on to the next thread????? tks

[babyalive]

Started a new thread ladies. This one was getting clogged, or bogged down.   Baby dancers, get ready for round 6!  See ya on the new thread of Dancing with the Follies!

[babyalive]

Helen, my dear friend.  You are still twirling.  You make  me laugh and smile.  Your strength and resilence is inspiring.  I'm going to start twirling now too.  Although, perhaps my ego is a bit large, because I am just sure my twirling is superb to Tyra's.  I'll leave that to the expert judge though.  

Deepa, how is my twirling?  My arms are elegently at my sides.  My head is leading the twirl and my feet are in sync.  I feel I am doing a beautiful job.  What do you think?

Mary, I am waiting with baited breath!  OMG.  For some reason this is a really tough 2ww for me.  I am so anxious for you.  I think it's because I have a strong feeling it's  bfp for you.  Oh, time pass, time pass, time pass...twirling, twirling, twirling.  (sound effects boodaboo, boodaboo, boodaboo............................fading)

Maga, I can't believe all the OMG's with my little AGP sista's!  Heather's big, big, BIG news of triplets, Helen's da*med delay, Fiona's going forward, but we all hoped for a follie fest for her, my own follie fest disaster, and now your poor dh and you!   So glad to read all is well in the end.  Give Dh a nice back rub tonight.  That should relax and destress him a bit.  About the injection, I had read also that it is best to give them in the belly, I've got plenty of extra baggage there for the subcutaneous injections.  They were relatively painless in the beginning. Though in the end I ended up with a row of lovely bruises and my entire belly became quite sore.  However you seem to have no trouble producing follies.  Didn't you have like 30 at one point?  So, I would say you could inject wherever the hel l  you'd like and produced a good amount.  

Jackson, I am sorry about the beeatch of AF!  She can be a doosy that Aunt Flo.  Try increasing your Vit. B6, use warm/hot pads on your abs and back.  That helps me with the cramps.  Did you ever get an answer about your numbers?  I can't remember what ever became of the question you asked about them.  

Fiona,  I hope you dim the lights tonight, light some candles put on some soft music and enjoy a glass of wine with dh.  Just make this a night to celebrate yourself and relax.  Then tomorrow, you are going to have an incredible retrieval with the best quality eggs they've ever seen!  Cheers to beautiful eggs!!

Heather,  How are you holding up. You are the bravest, bravest woman!  I LOVE your attitute and commitment to remaining positive even though you feel like ****!  


2ww is moving along.  Though I'm doing what I always do during 2ww, put my head down there...in the sand!!  Pretend I'm not in 2ww, pretend these are just ordinary days, and forget all about the little IUI procedure as if it didn't exist.  Then if by some MIRACLE AF is late for her visit, I'll get a great big BFP surprise!!  That's how my 2ww dance goes, along with the twirling of course.  Always twirling!!!

[Helen72]

Magda,
glad that dh is OK.  Wow, what an ordeal!
Btw, I was scheduled to start Lupron shots in the belly.  They never even told me about alternatives like my hip or arms.  Belly shots supposed to be easier and less painful and I am not sure if they are better for absorption.

Jackson Angel,
thanks for your reassurances about my cyst.  Do you recall how long it took for your cyst to go away?
Meds can totally screw up your period.  After clomid my periods were soooo much heavier!  Never took prometrium though but it is a hormone, progesterone, so I bet it would mess up your system.

Mary and Lisa,
how are you holding up?  I am still twirling although not as elegantly as Tyra.

Heather,
I hope you are having a nice nausea-free weekend.

[Jackson_Angel]

~Hi! I haven't been here for long ~ BUT ~ what an ordeal you've ben through ~ did they ever tell you what caused DH's heartbeat..??.  Was it something he ate ~ drank ~ breathed..??..  Did stress actually do all that..??..  I would have totally freaked ~ glad it all turned out ok ~

Girls ~ hate to be so TMI, but I am bleeding like a pig and have never been this bad ~ MAJOR headaches ~ cramps subsiding ~ is this normal after the prometrium..??....when I go back Mon for bloodwork, will they have the proper FSH that you aretalking about (sorry for being so naive) ~ ..??..I just hope they are taking me seriously now that I pushed through like Babyalive told me to!!

Babyalive ~ how is everything..??....can't thank you enough for your advice!!

[empty]

Oh Magda - I read your post and i have to say i couldnt take a breath cos i was so afraid about what was happening to you and your DH. I am so glad he's ok and poor you - it would be absolutely frightening. Do his bosses know that stress was the result - i mean i guess at the end of the day a pay rise is not going to take the stress away as he is doing the work of 5 people but surely for the fact that he was happy to chip in they should!  I really hope that his bosses see that they staff the school accordingly soon! Its great to have you back. With regards to the injections, my understanding was that the shots were better to be given on the stomach for better absorption. My clinic only gave me the stomach as an option. But from my readings,  subcutaneous shots may be given:
Upper Arm,Abdomen,Thigh and Lower back. Can you call your clinic and ask if you can change it to your stomach?

Ok heres an update - as usual ladies please let me know if there is anything you want me to add.


FiFi - retrieval 16th March
Magda - doing shots
Heather - winner of most number of babies and survivor AGP
Jackson Angel - bloods 17th March
Mary - testing 17th March
Dee - bloods 19th March
Helen - u/s 21st March
Lisa - TWW (3dpo)
Jen - IUI in 2 weeks
Sam- IUI in 2 weeks
Amy - might hold off TTC for a bit

Love ya all
Dee
8.20pm Sat

[magda_s]

So here's why we ha dto go to Beirut...

A couple of weeks ago I come home from work late one day.  It was 4pm (late for me as I work part time) and I found DH lying on the couch in his track pants and t-shirt reading a book.  Now, this may not sound all that frightening but when you consider that he doesn't finish work till 5 and he's NEVER home before 6pm, needless to say I froze, uncomprehending.  
The first thought in my head was "They've closed the school" because the government here is constantly trying to close the 2 international schools that exist out here.
I asked what was wrong and he said he didn't feel well so he came home.
He NEVER comes home because he "doesn't feel well"!!!
He said he's had the school nurse check his blood pressure and it was really high and he felt dizzy and he had an appointment to see a cardiologist later in the evening.
I immediately call my cousin who's a doctor and tell him the blood pressure reading and he says it must have been taken with one of those crappy plastic things they strap around your wrist and turned out that was right and he said they were useless and the reading I was giving him was totally meaningless.  So he asks me to take DH's pulse and ring him back.  As an after thought he tells me to pay attention to whether his pulse is regular.  
Well, no attention had to be paid at all.  I literally wasn't ABLE to count the heartbeats because his pulse was so totally irregular and so fast.  I was absolutely terrified and I was trying so hard not to show it because I didn't want to freak him out but his heart was racing like he'd run a marathon and it was all OVER the place.
I rang my cousin back who said not to panic (errr... too late!!!!!) and to get him to the cardiologist asap.
So we go to the cardiologist who turns out to be a wonderful man who made us both feel like he was in good hands.  Unfortunately he couldn't do the echograph he had to do because DH's heartbeat was so fast and so irregular.  So he gave him a load of medicines to take some of which would slow down and regularise the heartbeat and some of which would help prevent blood clots that can occur as a result of this condition (!!!!!) and said to come back in 4 days when things slowed down.  Then he added that if things were to normalise sooner to come back sooner and he further added, but in a tone that suggested he really didn't expect this, that even if it were to be normal by the next day, to come back then.  Well, as it turned out, by the time we went to bed, it was already close to normal and the next day he was fine!!!
we went back and the doctor was delighted and very surprised, saying it was a very good sign that he responded so quickly to the meds.
He did the cardiograph and pronounced DH well.  
Then DH's bosses get wind of all this and insist he HAS to come to Beirut where frankly, they have better doctors.  So they make him an appointment with the best Cardiologist in the country.  We went along because we figured it didn't hurt to get a second opinion.
That was yesterday and he pronounced DH in good health too!  PHEW!
He does want us to go back next week for DH to do a stress test just to be really absolutely certain but he already said, he's doing it as an extra, extra precaution and he fully expects it to go well.
Can I tell you how relieved I am???
I mean, we knew after the first doctor said he was fine that the second opinion was really just a confirmation and we went along to the appointment in perfectly good moods, feeling very upbeat but then after a bit of a chat, the doctor starts by having a listen to his heart and this gos on and on and on and on and I'm standing in the doorway feeling more and more nauseous by the second wondering why it's taking so long.
I was bouncing off the walls when we walked out of that place.  And all day we'd been asking each other what we'd do for dinner that night then when we walked out I said, "By the way, we're going to Sidney's tonight."  Sidney's is a gorgeous and very expensive restaurant that we love because it is perfect in every way... gorgeous view of the city and the sea, exquisite food, excellent service and a subdued, elegant, plush atmosphere... and all I could think is that I wanted to celebrate.
I'm STILL on a bit of a high from getting that confirmation of good health.
And do you know what both doctors said brought it on??  Stress!!!  I could KILL his bosses!  He's been so stressed out at work since the start of the year because they took his deputy director away so he had to do his job too and they refused to give the head of discipline a $50 raise (yes, $50!!!) so the guy left and DH had to do that job too and then he lost a grade 11 & 12 English teacher and when he finally found a suitable replacement (not easy at all here) they refused to pay a decent salary and so she turned down the offer and Dh had to teach those classes too.  All this while running a school of 1,500 students and about 200 staff.
And I'm sure his bosses know they've pushed him too far and insisting he come to Beirut was to ease their consciences!
Sorry... venting... and I know I sound like an ungrateful b*tch but can't help it under the circumstances.
At least he's okay! I should just be grateful for that.
Right, off to work with me.  Should really make an appearance!!!

[magda_s]

I'm here!  I'm here!
oooffff... it's been an exhausting 10 days.  Fun but exhausting.
I don't remember if I said in my last post but the day after I got back from my trip, we had to go to Beirut!  I was rather nervous about it but we got good news.  I'll tell the story in a second post so that you guys can skip it if you're busy as it's a bit long.
For now I just want to say that I am SO not caught up with where everyone's at but I have scanned the posts and...
Helen... I am so unbelievably sorry for what you're having to deal with.  when I read about your cyst I was beside myself.  I had read the earlier post where you asked me when I would finish b/c and we really looked like we were in sync and then I read the next one and all I could think was how upset and angry I would be if I were told at this stage that I couldn't continue.  I hope you're rid of it very very soon and can move forward.
Heather... OMG... what can I say???  I was absolutely gob-smacked when I rewad that you're dealing with THREE and not TWO.  It must be pretty surreal, particularly not knowing about the health of baby C but equally, it must be so good to know that A and B are going strong.  This might sound horribly callous but to be honest, if it were me, I don't think I'd be too terribly upset.  I'd just be over the moon to be having twins.  But it doesn't sound like you are upset... only about the feeling crappy!  So sorry about that.
Mary, Lisa... you're both in TWW????  Oh, I feel SO out of touch.  Good luck to you both!
Fiona, I'm not clear on what's happening Sunday but good luck anyway!!!
Dee, I don't know about everyone else but I sure could do with one of your little status lists!!!  Oh and, sadly my bout of Delhi-Belly didn't help me shed a single pound!!!!!!  MOST annoyed.  Might just have to go back!!!
Ladies, I do have one question... You were all talking about shots in the belly or thigh etc.  I'm not sure which shots you were on about.  I'm doing daily shots of decapeptyl (same as Lupron and the nasal spray) an I'm doing them in my arms.  Should I not be?  These are subcutaneous.  How do you do a subcutaneous shot in the belly or thigh?  Seems more difficult than the arm. I'm just scared that what I'm doing isn't the best way as I haven't done it this way before.  The previous two times was just one slow release intramuscular shot.

[Jackson_Angel]

Heather-  Congrats!!!  That's amazing.  I'm sorry to hear about the news with baby C but I hope everything goes well.  Glad to hear things are well with babies A and B...best of luck! ..

Helen ~ I had the same luck with Clomid ~ wonder if it does the same to all...??..good luck!!  They usually absorb into your system ~ not to worry!!

Fifi ~ the one thing my RE did without me asking was to say tummy shots alternating sides ~ now all they have to do is offer the other information I found on here without me asking!!......Good luck Sunday!!

All ~ YES ~ Hopefully you saw the Oprah show when she talked abouth "The Secret" ~ it is supposed to work, and I have watched it before online ( http://www.integrative-breakthrough-coaching-solutions.com/the-secret-movie.html ) ~ it's interesting ~ hoping it actually works ~ ...have been trying!!!(or not trying as it were)~:-)))))

Anyone have any comments on the measuremens given today ~ don't know what my FSH is yet (actually forgot to ask them to let me know) but will as on Monday when I go back for followup bloodtest ~ DH is getting really good at using me as a pin cushion with these injectables ~ wish I was enjoying it as much~

Nighty night!

[Helen72]

I did not get a blood test but I know that my cyst is producing estrogen.  I read a lot today about clomid-related cysts and it's definitely one.  A false positive HPT is actually the first sign along with other side-effects that I was attributing to b/c like nausea, breakthrough bleeding, big bbs, etc.  The good news is that it's probably been around for at least 3-4 weeks already and they typically last for about 4 weeks.  The bad news is that there is nothing I can do to make it shrink or go away.  Apparently b/c does not help either; it just prevents other cysts from developing.  I read somewhere that tomatoes and carrots can make it go away but I think this is bs.  Most sources just say that the only treatment is "watchful waiting" and you know how much I like to wait  :(

I'll keep you in my thoughts on Sunday.

[HeathJo]

Mary--Thanks as always for your kindness. Our city's St. Patrick's Day parade is in our neighborhhod, and people swarm around here wearing green beads and getting drunk all weekend long! I will be thinking of you constantly until Monday :-)

Helen--Oh, my friend, what can I even say? After all the waiting and now THIS AGAIN! I am so frustrated for you, that just sucks. Must you wait 4 weeks? Can't they just get rid of it now? AAAAARRRRGH! I wish I had more words of the comforting kind, but I am just sick about this. God is really testing your strength and patience, and I do have faith it will pay off for you. I just wish it were sooner :-(

Fiona--Oooh, how exciting, Sunday is the big day! That little 13 may just catch up, you never know. But, you have still two very good solid mature follies. When will they be transferring the embies?

Jen--Hey, I don't blame you for paying instead of having all those restrictions. It does really sound like you are primed and ready to go for anything right now, so you never know, IUI and bd could do the trick. Do you know how many follicles and what size yet? Oh, and I am glad you like my name choices. I really have about 30 for each gender so far, and have no clue what I'll end up choosing. I have a while to go, and don't even know what I have brewing yet!

Dee--I am sorry you have to keep waiting and taking that nasty nose spray. I hope you can proceed next week.

J. Angel--Soory about AF and the cramps from hell. I have been there before, and it's no fun!

SamLB--So gald to have you here! It is hard at first to keep up with everyone, but Dee (Empty) has been such a good social secretary she makes it easier! Plus, once you are here a while you pretty much absorb where everyone is in their cycle/protocol/pregnancy. I wish you all the very best and really look forward to your updates!

Big Hugs and thanks to all of you for wishing me well and being concerned. TTC and being pregnant sre very similar, in that there can be a lot of waiting, unknowns, and things one cannot control. I am so glad to have all of your support, and you better belive you have mine. SSBD (I have extra baby dust) to you all :-)

[Jen7900]

Fifi - GOOD LUCK on Sunday!! I will be thinking of you at 11am (what time zone?). Just go in thinking only good things. Do you believe in the Secret? Someone told me that if you go in to IVF imagining yourself already pregnant that it will come back to you. I guess we have nothing to lose by trying this huh?

Sam - I am on the SAME cycle as you! I am cd5, AF came on Monday and my third IUI will be in two weeks or so (i think March 22-25ish). Great to have a new friend on my cycle!

Heather - anything new yet? I saw your baby name poll posting and all excellent choices! I have many of those same names picked out. Scarlett was going to be the name if it was a girl last time :) I just figured she would've had to have been a strong woman...nobody ever messes with a chick named Scarlett (at least thats what i was thinking!).

Amy - I am SO sorry about the news. Thank G-D it was not cancer. Keep your head up and take really good care of yourself for the next few months...August is around the corner (although i know it seems like light years away). Remember that most things in life don't happen by accident. XOXO

Helen - you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am hoping for amazing news next week.

((Hugs))
Jen

[fifi blue]

Helen, is your cyst producing estrogen?  If not, it might disappear quickly.  I'm praying that it does.  
Dee, fingers crossed that you start soon.  Waiting is the worse.  Thanks for being pissed for me.  God knows how I might have responded to the meds if I'd know the tummy was best!  
Lisa, Mary hope your tww is going well.  
Heather, how are you feeling?  
Madga, where are you?
Sam, welcome on board.

My retrieval is Sunday at 11am.  Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it.

[Helen72]

Mary, Fifi, Lisa & Empty,
thank you so much for your kind words and support.  This extra hurdle is upsetting but there is nothing I can do about it so I just continue my b/c.  I guess my doc will not do a surgery for at least 4 weeks since this is how long it usually takes for a cyst to disappear on its own if it ever disappears.

Empty,
I know you have to wait an extra week and I am angry on your behalf.  Sometimes our bodies just do not cooperate  :(

Mary,
I know you are stronger than me and Lisa but are you going to POAS or just wait for the beta?  I am still doing my bfp dance for both you and Lisa; perhaps this vigorous bfp dance will rupture my cyst  :)  

Fiona,
did you schedule your ER?  I am holding my fingers crossed for you as always.

Heather,
I hope you are feeling better or more calm after your first u/s.  Two strong heart beats is such a miracle!  I am sooo happy for you.  You overcame so many health obstacles in your life that if anyone can handle triplets, you can.

Jen,
FSH below 10 is considered good for ivf.  Your # is fantastic!  I hope that your last IUI will work and you do not have to go the ivf route.  

SamLB,
welcome to AGP!  AGP stands for alpha gamma prego sorority  :)  We used to all be in the same 2ww pool but now our cycles are all over the place.  
I hope your next IUI works for you!    So sorry that you have to struggle; infertility is such a tough battle sometimes!  Do you have a plan of what to do next?  I always try to have a plan for all eventualities.  I hope that injectables+ IUI work for you though and you'll get your BFP!!!  This combo worked for so many ladies on this forum (including HeathJo and Lexima).

[empty]

FiFi - i am so pissed off on your behalf ! Yes injecting in your stomach is an option. I too read that you can do either thigh or stomach but my clinic only advocates stomach and alternating sides. 2 more days for your retrieval - all the very very best.

Helen - Oh hon i am so sorry about the cyst. Will they remove it right away for you soon after you u/s? I am so sorry helen - it just sucks when things just keep getting pushed out. However i do hope that next week brings unexpected good news for you somehow.

SamLB - welcome all the way from Italy. We have a bit of an international group here. Can i ask what issues you had with Puregon as thats whta i will be starting soon.

Jen - i am hoping your third IUI will do the trick!!!

[Jen7900]

Hi Girls!

Okay, i've got an update...

RE agreed to IVF sooner than later. The decision was whether to join the clinical trial or to pay privately. Because of all sorts of rules (e.g. he can only transfer 2 embryos each try) and a very involved protocol, we have decided to pay for it ourselves. Turns out the clinical trial only covered half the cost, and if I am paying 5k for anything, i'd like my doc to have the flexibility to adjust and such as he sees fit...something that can't happen on a clinical trial. So I was all excited to start the process and the nurse worked out the calendar with me and as it turned out...the week of our egg retrieval and/or transfer would be April 16th, which is the day we leave for Hawaii for a week. Ugh. DH is not willing to change the trip, so we wont be able to start the IVF stuff til next cycle.

So, for now I think we are going to do one more IUI (I am going to ask about Femara) and if that doesnt work, we will move forward with the IVF at the end of April.

I guess it was meant to be...maybe the third time (IUI) will be a charm! Gonna talk to RE today to see which meds to start for this IUI cycle and will keep you posted.

Oh, and my FSH is 5.5...whatever that means for IVF.

XOXO
Jen

[Jackson_Angel]

Ok ~ I'm gonna do this again ~ hit shif & alt and it deleted all (warning to others) ~

ANYWAY ~ I was waiting for AF ~ got it yesterday ~ (sorry for being away no check in for awhile) ~ took daughter out of schhol./DH out of work and went horsebackriding Wednesday ~ VERY ENJOYABLE~ then MEGA wines and HOTTUB soaking ~ MAJOR cramps/headaches..??..anyway ~

went to office today and got bloodtest and ultrasound ~ Left 19/Right 25 ~ now will start Menopur 2 and Follistim 450 Fri~Sat~Sun ~ so can anyone tell me if the above numbers are good..??.. I have NO IDEA ~ ESPECIALLY since I haven't been "measured" since the VERY BEGINNING of my relationship with this IVF in FREEHOLD, NJ ~ ..??..is it me or do they really seem like an egg donor institute instead of IVF..??..

~anyway ~ am HOPING the MAJOR cramps and headaches will GO AWAY ~ since I'm not preggo I've been using the hottub regularly to subside the cramps, and need more MIDOL (blue caps ONLY) ~ they work TREMENDOUSLY!!~

Hope all else is doing well with all!!!

[ms320]

I am so sorry.  Not one IVF has gone smoothly for our group.  No words will make you feel better right now, but please know that I am hoping that next week's u/s will bring good news.  You have always been a pillar of strength for our little community -- please feel free to lean on us as you need.

Mary
