Em - you are always so good with keeping track of everyone, so are you Sandy!
I'm hopeless. I try to keep up but with so much happening I forget!

Mo - I think you got this one! Just try not to stress too much, I know, easier said than done. :haha: I think your lines look to be getting darker, if only slightly, but that is normal. I found that I had to compare every other days lines to really see a difference, and for me the afternoon POAS was always darker than the morning POAS (and was as dark as the next days FMU). So that looks to be what you are seeing too. I hope that helps!

Mells - amazing news, and I love the ghost. Were you able to send your DH a picture of the 'ghost'? I am glad you were able to get in touch with him! I bet he is grinning from ear to ear! :happydance:

Turkey - GL with your hysteroscopy today! I bet it will go swimmingly, and hopefully you get to get started (although part of me hopes you have to wait so we can be cycle buddies, but that is purely selfish of me)!

Brandy and Blue - when do we get to see a glimpse? US please! We want to know if you guys are having twins, triplets? :headspin:

Em and Sweet - so glad you guys keep popping in to say :hi: I hope you both are doing well and the babies are progressing beautifully

AFM - its not as cold today in Canada, which is good, after living in FL for so long, I'm a big wimp. I was begging for a fire in the fireplace last night, but my brother though I was a lunatic! :haha: I will wait to see what the tests show, but :coffee: I hate waiting! Otherwise, I'm not sure what the plan will be with my FS if my AMH is really that high. I may have to get on a diet and start metformin to get things back to normal. I will say that since my D&C I have not been eating the best, I guess it is due to the sadness, and so on. I am working to curb that and will start now to improve things. :hugs:
 
I know Ali they Can keep track of personals I can't haha. I have to answer threads as they pop up!

I another beta today so I'm on pins and needles. My ultrasound isn't until 8/16 at 7 weeks :-(

Waiting definitely sucks doesn't it. It will be very interesting I hear about you amh. I really don't know much about it but I didn't think it could rise but who knows right! I bet the sadness is hard. I found this past year when I had the chemical and all my DD's health issues I really stared eating poorly and gained weight. And didn't lose any before this cycle which wasn't really wise but that's ok

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I certainly try! I also hope that I at least congratulate the BFPs!!! :wacko: So pardon me if I forgot anyone. I didn't mean to! :hugs:

I remember those days well, I was on pins and needles for 3 weeks while my baby had less than stellar increases (although still within normal limits), and then was slow to develop. It was heartwrenching. In some ways I was happy it ended when it did, I'm not sure I could have taken much more of the uncertainty! Course having it blossom and continue to grow would have been much better!

I found this on AMH (see image in next post as the data I pasted didn't look very good).



My previous levels were in ng/ml and were 5.6 and then a few months later 3.8 (or something like that). I really only remember that one was 5.? and the other was 3.? But it did go down between May and October or was it October and December last year? :shrug: It is all a blur. The nurse said that it was higher than my previous number, but they were using some different lab that is supposed to give way more accurate results. So I'm not sure :shrug: I'll let you know what I find out!

From what I have read, it is possible to improve your AMH with the use of supplements, so someone with an AMH of 0.5 could conceivably bring it to 1.2 or something like that if they take DHEA or CoQ10 or some of the other things that can improve your egg quality. But for mine to sky rocket (as the nurse implied) that is not normal. So I am a little worried. :dohh:
 
The AMH info didn't post very well so I made a screen shot, here it is:

Hey Ali...I would LOVE to be cycle buddies with you!! I'd have my own personal IVF expert. I'm sitting in surgical center right now waiting for my hysteroscopy. So nervous. If things go well, I still won't be starting up til after my next period...hopefully mid-August. Guess there's no chance you'll be ready by then, huh...sigh. Has AF even arrived?? I feel like I recall you saying your HCG had zeroed out, no?? It's tough to keep up with this super-speedy thread!

On another note, don't beat yourself up about the eating thing...I am in (or maybe was in) the same boat. I'd stopped exercising when I was pregnant and I ate with abandon!! After the miscarriage, I carried on exactly the same. Took me a while (and about 15 pounds!) before I got my motivation back. I started running again and I gotta say its done me a WORLD of good. I look better, but way more importantly I feel better. It's like therapy to me. Start small...take your pups for a walk...don't look at it as dieting, that'll only depress you!!! Look at it as helping you sort things out, and getting ready to get AND STAY (!!!) PREGNANT!!!

Yes, my HCG has zeroed out, at least mostly, it was 5 last week, so I'm assuming its 0 now. I'm hoping to do my fresh IVF in Sept/Oct, I want to be on the supplements and get my body prepped and it will take a while. I'm already plus sized (size 18) and 40 (41 in Oct) so I really need to get back to a lower weight. I'm not a crazed dieter, I am not looking at is as a diet, but just limiting my carb intake, and eating more veggies and fruits and getting some exercise. Nothing too drastic! I brought a Zumba DVD with me to the cottage, and there is a giant lake out there that needs swimming :) At least once I get on vacation (next week).

So I doubt we'll be IVF cycle buddies, but maybe I'll be a month behind you?

GL with your hysteroscopy!
 
Everything looks great...HURRAY!!! Bloodwork next week to check for ovulation and to time the start of the estrace. I'm so, so happy!!! Thanks for all the support gals!!! xo
 
Great news Turkey!!! So you are doing a FET? I get so confused with what everyone is doing :wacko:
 
Nope...fresh cycle, but we may have to freeze depending on how long the testing takes. I don't care if its fresh, frozen or fried at this point!!! Just so happy to be starting again!!!
