Any SMEPers!!!! 43 Testers! 22 BFP!!!!

[Tasha S.]

Stacer: Wow hun!!! I'm sorry about what you'll have to go through but at the same time YAY!!! You'll most likely be pregnant in the next 3 months!!! Stacer, will you please let me know what the egg retrieval process is like?? My 17-year-old sister has Turner's Syndrome, so the doctors are wanting her to do the egg retrieval process so that she still has the possibility of having children later on if she wants to. My mom is really nervous about it and they just recently cancelled an appointment concerning that. My sister isn't sure what she wants, and she's very young, never had a boyfriend, and now she has to make the decision if she wants to go through with the egg-retrieval, which I imagine would be quite invasive for a virgin!! Please let me know!!! Are you doing alright?! Is DH on board with you?!

Lisa: You look great! Thanks for the pic and thanks for the info!! I want to feel great like you when I'm up to that point of this pregnancy!

Krys: Oh boo for progesterone cream!!!!! LOL!! I know all about the panty-liner thing HAHA! I think I was 5 the first time I got a yeast infection, and my mom would put yogourt on me and make me wear a panty liner. I remember refusing to walk or to sit and telling my mom that was the grossest thing that she could ever do to me lol!!!

Sunny: Fx for you lady!!!

May: Hang in there girly!! I really hope the extra dosage does the trick!!

AFM: I took Kdk's advice and started taking coconut water on a daily basis (it's been 3 days now!)...yesterday and the day before I was having headaches/auras, today is better! Fx the coconut water will do the trick!!

Lisa... You are adorable! Hope you had a blast!

Krystina... When are you testing or do you go back to the docs for that?

 

[Sunny skies]

Lisa, you really look great, glad you've had such a great pregnancy.

May, I hope the increase does the trick. Do you have any side effects on clomid? I'm hoping Famera works for me.

Stacer, thinking of you, glad your staying positive.

Sunny - No side effects whatsoever. The only thing I noticed ISP that I feel very bloated when I O. Possibly because I might be Oing more than one egg or on both sides?

Hope I have no side effects with Femera, I"ve been reading up on clomid and Femera, I don't know if RE would suggest Clomid for me if Femera doesn't work. I hear headaches and reduction in cm are common side effects. Thanks for the info, I guess everyone is different.

So my last test before the final IVF visit is a hysteroscopy. Have you ladies had it or known someone who has had it? I"m pretty sure there is anesthesia of some kind involved which isn't any fun for me. I called today to schedule that but she can't schedule me until monday, and said that it probably wouldn't be until mid April to the end of April to get it done. Aggrivated that it has to take that long to get it schedule. So IVF definitely wont take place until May. Guess that kind of defeats the purpose of making someone call on cd1 to schedule! Starting to lose hope....ugh.


May-good luck on this cycle!! hoping this is the one for you!!!

 

[Sunny skies]

Stacer, sorry you have to wait so,long for the hysteroscopy. I've heard of it but don't know much about it. Any way you can be put on a wait list if there's a cancellation? Waiting is sometimes worse than the actual procedure, hope things move along soon.

Krystina, how are you feeling?

AFM, nothing to report, one week left before I test but I worry AF will come early as my last cycle I got AF 12 DPO. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

 

[krystinab]

Hey ladies Happy Friday

Lisa, you are as cutes as can be! Pregnancy looks good on you! I know I will look like

Sunny, does this seem like the longest 2ww of you life?

Stacer, I agree with Sunny you should be able to get on a wait list! If not, don't worry May is just right around the corner!

May, you are lucky...me and clomid didn't get along. It's crazy cause I had no SE with the follistim...you know I'm cheering for you girl!

Tasha, I'm glad you head is feeling better!

Buttercup, you chart looks great! If it wasn't for those dips on cd4 & 13 I think it would be triphasic ....you have a really good chance!

KDK, what's going on momma?

AFM, nothing really to report. My cramps have subsided but I'm bloated like I'm 5 months pregnant...so not feeling sexy...I'm not going to test before my betas...10 days to go! DH is convinced we are having but all I need is one...LOL

 

[Sunny skies]

Krystina, every TTW drags on but I agree, this one is especially long. Two for one sounds like a great deal...lol good luck.

Hi Ladies... I'm relatively new to this site, but can I join you ladies?? I had a chemical pregnancy in July and then a Mmc in November 2012. We heard the hb at 7weeks and then it was gone at 10weeks. D&C on 11/9.

This is our 2nd cycle TTC and our first with SMEP. I'm 10 or 11dpo and I have been feeling slight cramps and lower back ache. Af due on Thursday. I hope this is the beginning of my bfp!!!

What do you girls think? Can you see a line?? Is it too light?

 

[stacergirl]

Hi goldy and welcome! So sorry to hear about your loss. I do actually see a line though, it is light but maybe will get darker as the days go on!! Best of luck!!

Thanks ladies, I think waiting is the worst part.

Hoping everyone is doing good and that we start seeing some good posts on here!!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

I am doing a bit of guessing here and I think Kristina is at 7-8 DPO now??? How are you feeling? Any symptoms??? I'm cheering for you!

 

[krystinab]

Hey ladies!

Goldy, looks like a BFP to me! Congrats! Praying your line gets darker!!

Sunny, when are you going to get your betas again? For some reason I thougt it was today!!

Stacer, you should look up some other threads. I am sure there are thousands of women on here who've had the hysteroscopy. Did you call to see if you can get on a wait list.

May, how you hold up chika? The clomid still doing you good?

AFM, I am officially 9 dpiui....I have a ton of symptoms but I am sure they are all from the progesterone...but just to entertain everyone I will tell you what they are: severe bloating (I look 4 months pregnant), sore bbs, fatigue, mood swings, cramps, face breakout, heart burn, gas and painful sex. For whatever reason I am still so chill...not anxious at alll...6 more days til betas...pray for a sista!

 

[Sunny skies]

Welcome Goldy, I definately see a faint line. Sounds like SMEP may have worked for you.

Krystina, Sunday is when I should return if AF doesn't arrive. I am so freakin excited for you. I'll be praying for you.

May, any news with your RE search?

Stacer, sorry your stuck waiting.

How are all the preggo ladies doing?

Who else is testing soon?

 

[snowflakes120]

Goldy - I see a line too. I def think congrats are in order for you!

Tasha - When is your gender US? It's gotta be coming up soon! Any maternal instincts on what you think your having?

Sunny - FX that AF doesn't show for you in about a week! I didn't have any side effects from Femara at all. I did get a cyst while on the Clomid for 4 cycles so it is very important to make sure you are being fully monitored with bloodwork and ultrasounds with each cycle if you are going to do Clomid. I also had no CM with Clomid but then again I never had any to begin with!

Krystina - Please tell me you are going to test earlier than your beta!! That's like a whole week away!! I got the faintest BFP on 10dpiui and was confirmed with beta on 11dpiui.

Looks like congratulations are in order....have a H&H 9 months!!!

I had that awful bloating at first too, that was my first clue, lol....soooo excited and cossing finges and toes that this is it for you!

 

[Goldy27]

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm trying not to get too excited but its hard because it is all that i can think about!

My husband said that he saw the line, but that he didnt want to talk about it or get excited until we test again on Thursday (when AF is acutally due). I dont think i can wait until then to test again!! Why do these days go by so slowly?

Krystina-- All those symptoms sound really promising. I will keep my fingers crossed for you! Hoping you get your BFP!!

 

[JohnsonGirl]
