Sorry to hear that brandy. But on the brighter side, at least they found them and are taking care of them prior to ivf. I would've hate to have seen a failed cycle because of the polyps which could have been taken care of before. Hope all goes well on Friday. At least you're making strides!!

 

[Tasha S.]

Awww, so sorry Brandy!!! But at least you can get it done before and it won't interfere with IVF, will it?! Wow, I'm always amazed at how fast the medical system is in the States! All the best hun!

 

[~Brandy~]

No it wont interfere or delay the process thankfully


Atleast since they are knocking me out I will get some amazing sleep haha.. Then I get to come home and go back to bed w00t.

 

[Tasha S.]

Thinking of you today Brandy!!!! All the best! Let us know how it goes! xoxo

Stacer, how are you doing with the injections?!

 

[stacergirl]

Hi Ladies, hope you are well.
Brandy-glad it wont' interfere with your IVF cycle. The meds are pretty good, not going to lie!

Tasha-hope you are feeling well and staying busy. I feel like i might as well be PG with all of these restrictions on me (no caffeine, working out strenously, drinking, etc). Hopefully i"ll get the BFP And it will pay off.

Update on me. I had bloodwork done WEdnesday and my estrogen went up so that was good and they kept me at the same dose. I went in today and I have follicles growing!! YAY!! Howeve I still have one ahead of the others which would be normal if I wasn't doing IVF, so I might have to stimm for more days, potentially up until next friday. which would be 15 days of stimming! Yikes!! I'm just slow to respond. I only have meds to get me through tuesday (which I paid another $2000 for last week! UGH!!) so If I do stil til Friday I'll be forking up another $1000-$2000!!! EEESssshhhh! I'm all for stimming longer if my success rate is higher since i've already invested so much money and time into this cycle, but its just so expensive. However, if I do stim til Friday, then that would work well for DH because Egg retrieval would be on or around Sunday next week. So there are pluses to stimming longer. I"m already down 17 injections, can't believe it!! I will most likely add a 3 injection into my daily routine so that i don't ovulate today or tomorrow. So that means about 16 more stimming injections, then the trigger injection, and then up to 6 of the progesterone injections until i'm done with injections! LOL craziness. I can't believe i"m doing this!


Hope you ladies enjoy your weekend.

Well I am back and all rested up! They thought I had 2 polyps turns out there were 4 in there so I think thats good that they went ahead and did the surgical one and knocked me totally out lol.

Ya the injections are going to be quite the task. I am on BC right now but I switch to lupron injections in 6 days.. My husband cant wait to poke me! He asks everyday can I do it now!? LOL no babe have to wait.

 

[Tasha S.]

Stacer: I'm so sorry about all the costs!!! And about the injections, keep at it!! You're practically superwoman!! I hope so much that you get your BFP out of this!!

Brandy: Glad that's over!! Wow, do you think those polyps could be responsible for making it hard to conceive?! I wonder. You should be all good to go now! LOL. My twin sister (a nurse) sounds exactly like your hubby, she loves injections! Cruel!

Sunny: Thinking of you!! How's this cycle going?!

May: Miss you hun! xox

 

[Sunny skies]

Stacer, what a brave women you are with all those injections. I really hope this is it for you, I'll be praying for you.

Brandy, good luck, hope removing those polyps does the trick and its smooth sailing with your IVF cycle.

Tasha, your an eggplant already...wow. How's the pregnancy and school going? Would love to see a bump pic.

AFM, in the second week of my TWW. Trying not to symptom spot. I'll be testing Sat if AF doesn't show. If this cycle doesn't work I'm going to speak to re about iui but have to get DH on board, he still thinks we can do it on our own.

 

[~Brandy~]

I am thinking that now that might have been the issue with why I hadnt conceived in the last 3 years and the one time I did it led to a MC.... Since I have 2 other children and never a fertility issue that could very well explain it.

My DH's tests have all been amazing so it's surely not him. The guy could get rich donating sperm probably.

 

[Tasha S.]

Brandy: I really think that might have been the cause! I'm excited for you to start stimming soon!!

Sunny: I tried uploading a bump pic for you, I hope it worked! I'm doing well, the pregnancy is going a lot smoother now (i.e. contractions have stopped, pheww! I was having them everyday there for a few weeks! Too early for that!), and I'm crazy busy with school so time does seem to be flying! Four more intensive weeks of class and then just one online one...I'm looking forward to slowing down, all this running around is enough to tire anyone out! Ooooh, fingers crossed for Saturday!!!!! Please let us know!! I'll be praying!

 

[Tasha S.]

Sunny: B&B isn't letting me make attachments, it's bugging up! Sorry! I'll try maybe tomorrow!

 

[~Brandy~]

Sunny: B&B isn't letting me make attachments, it's bugging up! Sorry! I'll try maybe tomorrow!

Cant wait to see how exciting!!

 

[stacergirl]

Tasha- thanks girl. I'm glad this pregnancy is flying by! That is great. I too pray this ends up in a BFP, and if it does I hope I flies by like yours. I'm anxious to see you baby bump.

Sunny-got EVERYTHING crossed for you!! Let us know how it goes!!! how many days did you DTD?

Brandy- I really hope that is what was preventing you from getting PG...you're going to be knee deep in ivf before you even know it!

 

[mammaspath]

[dove830]

How cute are you??!!

 

[Sunny skies]

Tasha, love the pics, thanks for sharing.

Amy, your one busy lady, glad your doing well, thanks for checking in.

Stacer, we did every other day leading to o and then the day of. Hope it was enough. I'm feeling the itch to test, and I've been so good lately. I may test Fri. Don't know if I can wait for Sat for blood test at re office.

May and Krystina, how are you?

 

[stacergirl]

Tasha-super duper cute! You're so tiny!! Even with the belly! Looking good!

Sunny-sounds like you guys were really busy! That's great!! Fx for you!!

 

[MandaAnda]

Sunny, I got both BFPs at 10DPO. I so wouldn't have the patience! Best of luck! xx

I had another ultrasound and bloodwork this morning. I got a 21, 17, a couple 15, 14 and 13 mm follicles. Doc said my endomentrium is a little thinner than they'd like to see it on trigger day, but if my progesterone is high that I'll trigger today, otherwise I'll trigger tomorrow. So that means ER will be Thurs or Friday. Dh really wants it thurs bc it's hard for him to get out of work Friday but obviously will if its that day. I would prefer Friday that way I have the weekend to rest, but doesn't matter to me either way. A little bummed that my doc won't be doing the ER, it will be the doc who's on call. Hopefully that will still turn out good. You know how it is when you build a relationship with your doc though. Really really hoping this works. I feel like I'm not getting much support from dh or friends/fam (the ones that do know) so feeling a little down. Just want to get it over with and find out the results!!!
