Cycle buddies Start Sept. 2010

[rmartinez2009]

Looking for anyone beginning their IVF cycles  around September 2010 told i needed to reach out and connect with someone who is going through the same thing as the DH and I. Please contact me if possible. Very interested in the success stories also since this will be our first time.

Okay so AF finally showed up. I start my BCP tomorrow and Lupron on the 19th. But they did say that insurance is giving them a hard time so I might not get my meds in time. They said that they will keep me on the BCP until I receive my meds. They said that it does not have a negative impact at all. What a process, huh? Anyway, I am so excited.

Where is everyone?????? it's tooo quiet :-)  Thinking of you all.

Terri- I hope you went back today to have your blood drawn. I have been in your shoes, and I don't wish my out come on anyone. June was our first IVF cycle and it resulted in a pos with Beta of 26 which was very low, went back two days later and they said it rose to 89 which was a great sign to them. But a woman nows her body, I knew something was wrong so when they told me I didnt have to come back until my u/s I said no I will be back on Friday. I went back and it had only went to 91, they knew then that the out look wasnt good and that I was correct.

So, my advise to you is follow your gut and stay positive. You never know what may happen I have read stories of people with a 5 who had twins! Go back and let them make sure all is ok.

I agree with nmenyo- stand up for yourself and make them tell you what is going on and what your options are. It's your body.

I am out of my month wait before I start FET. So, I'm waiting on AF as we speak. My boobs have been hurting for a week ( so of course im praying that we did it on our own) and I'm looking for signs that she is on the way ( or not) so we can move forward.

Glad you joined us, this is a great group of women with a wealth of knowledge!

Just checking in...I don't have anything new to report. I tested positive for strep b, again. Doc is treating me and DH this time. If I test positive again, then I will be on suppression therapy the entire cycle. I'm not surprised based on what I've been reading. I'm a possible carrier for this bacteria but it is treatable. I'll stop BCP this Saturday then baseline US next Wednesday then starting stims on Friday..Yeahhhhhhh Lupron...you all know what I really mean. Stay positive and focused ladies and eat plenty of pineapples!

So i had my doctors appointment this morning all looked good. My nurse called this afternoon to confirm that i start stims tomorrow evening. Called my mom whom still just wants to argue over the fact that I am not coming on the 15th to visit.(sorry I need to vent) So i called my middle sister to tell her about my appointment since she is the only one on my side of the family who gives a junk about me. well then we talked for a while and we both get a message: Our baby sister is Pregnant again. Oh and to top it off my mother is elated about it, it makes me so upset just fyi the baby sister has been married 3 times and has never even had a job and lives in a small camper, She is 23 years old. she has 2 other children who live with their father and she doesn't visit.
I cannot understand why people have to be so hateful to those who are successful around them and why my mother must care so much about the one who has done nothing with her life and throw me and my middle sister under the bus. SORRY SORRY SORRY. i know you guys don't wanna here about this but jeez.

On another note i have decided the rants are due to  the meds. And yipee about sisi's retrieval and yipee my retreival is in 14 days, and I have the week of retrieval off and the week of transfer off of work so that we can try to minimize stress.

How are you ladies doing and maybe we should update everyone on the status of each of us since its been so quiet on here lately.

Lots of Love and SSBD

I am so sorry to hear about your family situation. I know you must feel so aweful. It's just not fair. We found out on the same day that my sister-in-law and younger cousin were pregnant. And to top it off my SIL's due date was the same as ours was before the m/c. Talk about a kick in the pants, huh? TWO WEEKS, wow that went by fast. I hope mine goes by that fast. I am super excited that you have the week off. That will help so much. I know it's family and not the same but we are all here for you and our journeys. I am sorry your family is not as supportive. I wish I could give you a big hugggggg.

As for me I am just moving along with the BCP. 2 down, 19 to go :-) Still waiting for insurance approval, but hopefully that will come soon. It's been a quiet week for me.

I am thinking of everyone and hope all is well.  SSBD

Hey ladies!!! Nothing really new for me! Still waiting for AF to show...15dpo so hopefully tomorrow. Then we will probably have the shg in about 10-12 days (xxx fingers crossed xxx) all goes well and i will probably start superfact near the end of September. Time sure seems to be dragging...i feel like i really have nothing to say, but i do check on you all frequently!!

rmartinez2009- No worries about venting! That is what we are all here for...to help, listen and support. No matter what we are going through! I know life doesn't seem fair... but everything does happen for a reason (at least that is what everyone keeps telling me... lol).
