Lotus - I am so sorry you are going through this hun! Sending you tons of love and healing energy

Babyd- I was worried about you when we didn't hear from your yesterday...aww look at that lil bub! I am so sorry this is carrying on but I am praying for a positive outcome. Also, it is good you have your OB that you can lean on and trust during a time like this.

 

[L4hope]

Lotus again so sorry for all that you're going through! I can't remember if you have any specific IF diagnosis? I have a coworker who was getting if treatment and not successful. Then her regular OB suggested removing the one ovary/tube that she was having a lot of problems with. She was hesitant but went ahead with the surgery. A few months later she got pregnant naturally. I know nothing makes what you're going through any easier but know there is still hope!

BabyD I'm so sorry you are still in limbo. I can only imagine the emotions you are feeling. I'm glad you have an OB that you trust as another medical opinion.

I just have endometriosis and when we did the Kruger Strict criteria SA, we found that the sperm has difficultly fertilizing the egg. That's why we used ICSI. Who knows, though. It could work.

I'm so sorry Lotus. I wish I could do or say more to help. I hope you are able to find a company that provides coverage. Hardly anyone does on the west side of the country, my RE says, although it is very common on the East Coast. We got a loan to do the fresh IVF, and I'm so glad we got frosties. If these last four don't work I don't know what we'll do.

BabyD- 50/50 isn't awesome, but it is still a great chance of success!! I hope the little one keeps growing strong!

Off to the clinic for my endometrial biopsy in about half an hour. Really hoping it is over quickly! Nothing I hate more than that f**ing speculum!

 

[alicatt]

Lotus - glad to hear from you and to hear that the surgery went well. Are they going to test the mass they removed? I hope so! It will tell them a lot about what is going on. I'm also glad your DH is there for you now. I'm sure that in time you will be able to exercise and meditate and come to terms with this, but for now it is totally natural to be in pain both physically and mentally. So do what you need to do to work through it and if that is what you need to do. Big

BabyD - 50/50 is way better than what your RE was stating, and I'd take those odds right now I'm a positive person by nature, so I'd look at this as a glass is half full type situation and think as positive as I can. I'm pulling for you to have a happy ending here!

Edamame - best of luck with the biopsy, let us know how it goes!!! I'm supposed to have 2 in 10-15 days time. Here is hoping that it is easy and it leads to a BFP!!!

AFM - I increased my dose to 2 patches of estrogen today (the vivelle dot). Even before I increased the dose I had a HUGE tension headache. I think perhaps it was caused by the paint fumes in my house. I had all the common areas painted the past few days, and I think it got to me. I am still dealing with a headache now too. I go to see the FS in the morning to see how my lining is going. I think at this point it should be in the 6-8mm stage. I guess we'll see tomorrow!

to everyone else! I hope everyone is stimming and feeling well!

 

[Edamame]

Alicatt- sorry you got such a bad headache- I hope you are done painting! Good luck tomorrow, looking forward to hearing how your lining looks! The scratch was not as quick as I was expecting. He put the speculum in, then the biopsy straw/rod thingy, and scraped for a full minute. I thought it was going to be more like a pap smear. It hurt and made me very crampy instantly. Fortunately there was another doctor there to hold my hand. I tried to take deep slow breaths while it was happening, and once it was done I recovered fairly quickly, although I'm spotting and a bit crampy still. They gave me four ibuprofen and said I can take four more this evening. So, not the most fun I've had, but definitely doable!

WHEW! Sorry that sounded a little rougher then you imagined, but it's over now and I'm sure you'll feel a lot better tomorrow! Let's hope it is all worth it in the end I'll let you all know how my lining is tomorrow, here is hoping for it to be coming along on schedule!

[WannabeeMum]

Lotus - that sounds terrible. I'm hoping that you have a quick recovery and am so happy to hear that DH is by your side. What a traumatic experience you've been through. Hopefully the worst is over and your OB can find out what happened and put a plan in place to get you your

BabyD - a 50% chance is great! I've heard of people having successful pregnancies with a lot less chance than that. I am keeping my FX'd for you.

Mo - good luck tomorrow!

[Turkey16]

Hey Everybody!! Waiting for doc right now. Just asked the nurse practitioner about the highlights/hair dye while stimming and she said no problem up to the transfer....after that its a no-no for the first 12 weeks. Just thought I'd share. Hope everyone is having a good day!!

 

[MoBaby]

Good day all- I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. Lining was a lot better but still at 6 mm when it's usually under 4 on day 3. No more cysts. They want me to have another (the fifth one!) saline ultrasoUnd on Monday to make sure there is nothing in the uterus. I can't start any meds until then. The nurse said she would go over the ultrasound with my dr who isn't even in the office!I'm pissed because the nurse knew about the saline ultrasoud for weeks now and just threw it on me... I work an hour away on Monday and I am the only one covering my dept on Monday do how am I supposed to arrange that??? I'm a bit mad.

You're gonna be just fine!!! I'm doing four "jabs" a day, and other than being a pain in the butt (or the belly I suppose!!) it really is no big deal...you get used to it super quick!!!!

That IS annoying. I guess you have to figure out a way to make it work...is the RE office open early?? Can you get there and back before you start at work?? Maybe they could do it Tuesday? Or do you work then too? Hmmm...wish I had a solution for you. The no more cyst news is good at least!!

That IS exciting Ever!!!! Good Luck!! When you say "6 days of progesterone" is that suppositories, or the dreaded shots?? I have the shots in my future and they're definitely giving me the heebie-jeebies already!!
