Dear dear dear Sally....hhhhhhhhaaaaaarrrrrrdddddddyyyy har har har!!! Actually, I was told when you do your first round of IVF the best place to get all of your shots was up the bootie. So, go for it and let me know how that goes! [ ;-) ]
Also, Sally... THAT IS REALLY EXCITING ABOUT THE RE!!! I can't wait to hear you moaning about morning sickness in a couple of months. I'll be like..." shut up Sal, cuz you took your shots in the butt, so what did you expect?" Oh, by the way, thanks for the update from what is exiting your va-jay-jay. It's been too long since we got an update.
Helen, ok, maybe it was a BIT of an exxageration. The bruise is itty bitty, but I feel cool saying I have a bruise. Trust me, there are PLENTY of spots on my belly to stick a needle. No chance of running out of space in the next century...
Renell, Glad you are feeling better!
Jen, Any folly progress??? US on Friday?
Sally,
this is great news!!!!!
I'm also in love with my new RE so I kow how you feel!!
About the shots....THEY ARE IN THE BELLY!!!! hahahahahahaha
you made me laugh!!!!!!
Super sticky baby dust to all of us!!
Sally that is FABULOUS news!!! Your new RE really does sounds like a rockstar!!! I'm so glad he didn't stall and make you go thru numerous tests and procedures that you've probably already endured! I'm so happy for you... I have a good feeling that only positive things (and positive betas!) await after this upcoming IVF! Very nice!!!
Renell, I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better... I was thinking of you today. I think that it's kinda split whether IVF patients get updates on the quality of their embies. Personally my RE has never given me an udpate after the fert report... I have to wait till transfer day. But I'd take it as a good sign that they didn't call you in for a day-3 transfer... your embies must be doing well. You are scheduled for Saturday right?
Lisa, any sign of AF yet for you???
Jen, I think you have your appt tomorrow to find out if adding that follistim has kicked your follies in gear. Good luck and hope we hear some good news from you!!!
OMG OMG OMG.. I am in love with my RE. He rocks my socks like no man has!! (hes not cute, just a really righteous dude).Ok.. where in the h*Ell do I begin?
Ok.. to get it out of the way:
Some weird weird stuff came out of me today.. its CD 2 1/2 (I started at night) and
and Im not upset about it, considering... but it looks like that positive I had on CD 11 was really a true pos. I am currently in the midst of "expelling my chemical".
Strangley, im not upset.. quite the opposite.. i can get pregnant!!!!!! woo hoooooo.
Ok.. Next.. I am going to be doing the antagonist protocol, and I go in for my "mock transfer" in exactly 7 days!
I start my stims in about about a month. No Lupron, no BC pills. He asked me what I wanted to do??? How cool is that? I told him and he was like.. "I totally agree, its nice to have someone come in who not only knows exactly what she wants, but also for it to be right." How Frikkin awesome is that??!! He told me I was going to be taking like a ton of Gonal-f.. and whan I said"ooh.. heard that was expensive" He sid.. "Ok.. what about Follistim?"
I mean, can t get any better? I dare say, I THINK NOT MY DEARS!
And its day 3, hes did a U/S and I have 9 little follies just lurking around, which he is totally happy with. Only bad things: Doesnt think Im going to produce tons of eggs like you rockstar girls, so I may not produce enough to freeze, but he thinks my age is good, etc... and I have a couple of small fibroids but theyre not in the "baby zone"
OMG.. So excited here at Casa Sally. Next week I get my meds, mock transfer and she shows me how to use my injectable things.
Then next cycle.. its IVF time Baby!!!
I have to start off my saying Sally I LOVE YOUR HUMOR GIRL!!!!!!! When I read your post I couldnt stop laughing, and trust me I really tried to stop becuase my belly is swore and it hurts to laugh really hard .....LOL!!!!! Good look on your appt with your new RE, I know all will go well!
Thank you ladies for all of your feedback on the pains I was feeling. Actually today I feel better, it seems that I feel better and better each day. I also called my Re's office and they informed me of the same thing.
Havent heard anything else about my little embies and how they are doing. Are they suppose to call you and give you updated information? Or do they do nt call if nothing has changed?
Sally, oh my you are hilarious. Just love your humour!!! Wishing you lots of luck with your new appt today! Looking forward to the update and I hope you get to start stimming very soon!
Helen, my RE prefers day-3 transfers but of course will consider day-5. Since I've had serious quality issues I elected to do a day-3 (to ensure we have something to transfer) and then freeze any which make it to blast. The only prob is my RE said OHSS tends to hit hardest 4-5 days post retrieval so I think he may push me for a day-5 to allow for better eval of OHSS. Tomorrow is day-3 and I am on the books for a transfer.... I think the odds of it actually happening tomorrow is no better than 50%. I don't feel horrible, but I don't feel okay either. My RE is super conservative and I know he's gonna take the safest approach which could mean no fresh transfer at all. Will know more tomorrow!
