Thanks for the info. I really appreciate your updates. We will all keep praying for all of us. I didn't have the dreaded AF, last mo. So, this mo, instead of having our 2nd DET, we are still waiting for the dreaded AF. Doc said, last wk., that if my . doesn't come down, this wk., then we have 2 go in for another u/s & c what is goin' on w/my bod. Last wk., the doc got our hopes up. He sent me for a bt 2cf I came out +. It was -. For a moment DH & I thought our dreams came true. I, too, will keep y'all posted. If we don't have our DET, this mo., then we have 2wait4 the nxt cycle, too. BBD2E O:-)
Well, after hearing yesterday that the laparoscopy wouldn't be until 4/10 I almost had a cow. I called and asked if there was anything that could be done and then by today I had decided that I could wait and that it may do me good to take a "break". But, I was blessed today with a phone call that my RE was going to open up his schedle and get me in on 3/11!!!!! I'm so excited. So, my next ER will be the week of 4/20 if all goes well! I am so relieved!!
Tab- Not to worry. It really isn't as overwhelming as it seems when you first start. If you have any questions, please ask. My best advice is to just be organized and try to keep your stress down. Involve yourself in other activities so this doesn't become your only focus. Take care and please keep in touch!
hello all i have been reading all these posts it is so overwhelming, i start lupron oon feb 29th im a nervous wreck i need to hear some good success stories, and med regimen please help me relax!!!
Spoke with my RE today. He wants to do laparoscopy to r/u endometriosis. Just in case that could prohibit imbedding. That will occur in March, hopefully early March. Then I have 2 week post op check up. At that point I can start another fresh cycle. He also wants us to consider putting back 3 embryo's. Not sure about that! More to come!
It would be great to have someone to cycle with.......... good luck and I'll keep you updated on how things go, my first ultrasound and bloodwork is scheduled for March 6th. Keep your chin up, I'm convinced it will happen for both of us. Take care!
Thanks for your support! You are right...you think you get that far and you've got it in the bag! I'm hoping to start BCP again soon, too! I"ll keep you posted as we may be cycling close together. Talk to you soon!
I am so sorry you got a BFN- it's so hard when everything goes so great until that test.... I just started my BCP and am looking at a ER somewhere in the middle of March. I'll keep checking to see how your follow-up appointment goes and what the doc says about the next step. Keep us posted.......
I noticed no one is really posting here anymore...but I just wanted to let everyone know I got BFN.....bummer! I meet with my doctor next Tuesday to discuss his next recommendations. I'm looking forward to that. Maybe I can get a better understanding of how everything can go great and then you get BFN. Only God knows and I have to trust that the timing is not His yet. But, I still believe it will happen and we are not giving up! Best of luck to everyone!
Just wondered what kind of symptoms you have during your 2ww. They told me I would have some cramping and possible spotting. I had cramping, but no spotting. I was very tired Friday, which is the day they told me the embies should be implanting....and I felt sick too. I feel a lot better today, but still some mild cramping. I do not want to read into everything, but some feed back would be nice. Thanks ladies!
My ET went great. My doc said I had to great 8 cell embies and my chances were great! We even got a photo of our little ones!!!
I'm on bedrest now for the next few days....and I love'n it!!!! Now I'm on the dreaded 2WW! I'm very hopeful though. They told me the embies should implant Friday!!! I'll keep yall posted and I'll keep an eye on how everyone else is doing!!!
Today I had my 2nd u/s and lab work done after starting follistum. The first appt I had 8 on the right and 9 on the left. Today she said there were more than 12 on the right and left. I hope that is okay. I am waiting to hear from the doctor for the results of my bloodwork today and what the next step will be.
I will keep you all updated!
Good luck with your transfer.......keeping my fingers crossed that at least one of the embryo's stick- can't wait to hear about your BFP. I am so glad to know what the plan is, feels better knowing that we are on our way to a fresh cycle......Will definately keep you all updated!!!!
Thanks A muse4u. I will keep in touch. You are all in my thoughts and I hope for lots of BFPs! Right now I am taking some Chinese herbs and royal jelly. I will have my fsh and afc done next month to see where I am at.
Andrea
My ET is on for tomorrow at noon. I have 5 that are great quality and ready to go. I believe that they will only transfer 2 and freeze the rest. I'm so excited!!!!
Mikeal'smom: I'm so happy that you have to go ahead!!!!! Pretty soon you will be where some of the rest of us are!!! March will be here before you know it!!!! I will be praying for your success!
I'll keep yall posted!
I went to have a follow up with my RE this morning to go over the next step after my husband's tests, and at the begining of my next cycle I will start my birth control pills, it'll be a week or so as I just O'd in the middle of this past week. It looks like we'll be doing transfer somewhere in the beginning to middle of March. My doctor says she still wants to do ICSI and now we just have to make sure the insurance is going to pay for it.
Keeping my fingers crossed for those of you who just had retrivals and transfers and those of you that have procedures coming up- ssbd coming your way!!!!
Sorry to hear about your cancellation. :...( Stay in touch!

We're just waiting for AF to hit. Then, we can go in to our Doc & see if we're good to go for DET #2 hopefully next mo. That'll be an awesome Valentine blessing for both of us! I'll stay posted. Take care, you all! :)
I heard from the embryologist today and 7 of our 14 fertilized!!!! I will hear more tomorrow on how they are progressing. Keep the prayers coming that they will come along well. I'm still sore today! I hope it gets better as the day progresses. I have to go to work tomorrow~
Anyone with experience with retrievals....how long were you sore? Thanks!
Wow - 14 eggs! OMG! Amazing.
My transfer went well. Thanks for the support and prayers.
I'm 41, and for me, I'll take the 2 I have to work with.
One of them they rated as an A+. The other one they said was not quite as good..so we'll see what happens. I'm keeping a positive thought.
I can use all of your prayers too!
Good luck on your transfer Jen.
I had my ER today!!! It went well. They were able to retrieve 14 eggs!!!! I'm feeling ok. My lower abdomen is very sore. Overall I feel pretty good.

Im 24 and my DH is 31 (very healthy) with 1 health 7 yrs old girl 2 miscarriages and 1 ectopic pregnancy on my right tube in which ruptured. i had a hydrosalphix on my left and had to be removed. Im not sure which Meds im using until tomorrow. Any advised would be appreciated.

All- They have "officially" scheduled me for my ER on Saturday!!!! I went today and he decided he wanted to push me one more day. I go back tomorrow for more blood work and u/s. Then they'll call me with the time for the Ovidrel shot, then I go back on Friday for blood work. Lots of driving!!!!
