kfs - you still did the IUI though so there is always a hope......fingers crossed for you xx

Welcome RainShiny......hope your eggs catch too xx

Hello everyone else...........hope everyone is well.....
 
Hey Rainshiny! I hope this tww is the best ever for you...

Galvan-Thanks for asking! I started BCPs on July 04, and finished them on July 23. Went in for u/s on the 24th, and today was my first day of injections (Menopur and Gonal-F). People were saying that the Menopur injection stung, so I was a little concerned, but after just finishing it, it wasn't bad at all. :shrug: Not sure what others are talking about. Or maybe my IUI pooch is helping a girl out by not causing any pain. I have to take this combination for 3 days, and then I go in for bloodwork and u/s and they will either change the combination or leave everything the same depending on how my follies are growing. The plan is to have egg retrieval around 8/5-8/7. Not long now!
 
kfs- I haven't barely told anyone yet about the ART because I want to wait to know if it's working yet. I will tell my work if I'm pregnant since they might wonder about all the appointments otherwise. Through the IUI process, I didn't tell work, and managed to have most of the appointments early morning/weekends or took s/l and called them Drs. appts which is what they were. I would tell close friends and family most of the cycles though.

And our story is basically we lost track of time--we met in early 30s, then I went to grad school for 2 years, then it took a year to find a permanent job (blame it on the economy!), then she found out she needed fibroid surgery before starting, we got married, bought a house, and finally started around 39! I had no clue it would be hard to get pregnant. My mom had her last child at 41.

I'm feeling like I have a low-grade fever (2dp5dt) again today. Anyone else have that? I'm hoping it's because the good kind of aliens are invading...
 
Great Betas Galvan :happydance: Good luck with your second set.

Welcome to the new ladies and wishing you lots of :dust:
 
Rainshiny - thanks for sharing your story. Yep - the economy hurt us a bit, too. It took my husband a while to find a permanent position. We would have started to try earlier for sure. I'm right there with you! Who knew it was so hard to get pregnant? If I would have known, I wouldn't have bothered with stupid BC pills all those years.

Terri - I CANNOT believe your egg retrieval is so soon! Wow - so exciting!!!

Stupid sucky temp drop this morning. I have absolutely no clue what that means, especially since I'm on progesterone which is supposed to keep your temps up, right? arrrrgh.
 
kfs1-I know what you are going through with the temperature drop. I don't get how IUI affects temperatures at all. You'd think that things would be a smidge different because of your shots beforehand, but afterwards, everything should look lovely. It's such a frustrating event. I guess that's why you never know the results until you take a test or get bloodwork done. You surely can't go by a chart.
 
Thanks, Terri. I totally understand why you were so frustrated during your IUIs now. I'm a crankypants, too, and I feel like a fat whale from all of these meds. Grrrr.
 
The menopur burned bad, but if I let it set for 10 minutes after mixing it it didn't hurt at all.

Beta results will be in 4 hours. So nervous, but the nausea helps the confidence.
 
My betas were only
118.16. Progesterone 26.5.


I am feeling hopeless now. :'(
 
Well, your hcg didn't double, but what about it being a slow riser? I don't think you reported your progesterone before. Is that number a good one? Don't give up yet...think positively. :hugs: You still have a chance.

My menopur didn't sting, but I put it in pretty slowly. I was expecting it to sting also, but nothing. Maybe my pain tolerance is high. :shrug:
 
I decided to request my progesterone to be checked this time, and it is good. I have been googling, and have a found a few ladies who had successful pregnancies. I am still nervous, but my RE says not to worry. He said that 84 hours is not too far out of the doubling range, so we will watch it and see.
 
kfs1 – see what your temp does tomorrow??? Maybe its just one of those random temps that happens every now and then

Galvan – think positive……..Ive seen a lot of stories on hear about slow rising HCG…..a lot…..when are you next beta??
 
Wednesday. I am trying to stay positive because of the stories I have seen on here and other sites as well. I have been researching it for about an hour now. I am also vey nauseated still so that is keeping me optimistic. I start losiing symptoms, and then I will start to lose hope. That wa show I knew I had lost my other baby. :(
 
We will all stay positive together......its not over yet Galvan.....this is still hope xx
 
I knew I shouldn't be worried. Maybe I should be an RE! Just kidding. I think it's still so early that the levels aren't ready to rise full speed ahead just yet, but they will today and tomorrow, that's for sure. Sending tons of :dust: your way, Galvan!
 
I am not going to lose faith. God doesn't give us more thn we can handle, and I don't think I can handle another lose, so I am sure this is my rainbow baby. :)
 
Thinking positive thoughts for you Galvan!!!
 
Galvan - I have a choke hold on hope for you!!! I am just going to believe this baby is a slow riser!! :hugs:

kfs- could that be an implantation dip??? :coffee: we will wait and see... positive thoughts for you too twinnie...
 
Galvan :hugs: my 2nd betas were slow. My 3rd and 4th more than made up for it so don't lose hope. Also, my symptoms went away for almost a week and came back with a vengeance today so even if you have an off day or 2 symptom-wise try not to worry too much.

AFM - I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding Saturday. The cat was out of the bag after a few friends guessed something must be up because I was drinking Shirley Temples when they bought me drinks (for those who don't know what they are - it's grenadine, lemon-lime soda, and a cherry). The standing in the hot sun, spanx, and dancing like a fool every 4 or 5 songs caused me to have more brown spotting yesterday and today. I was incredibly docile yesterday and today though. Nausea came back with a vengeance this afternoon. No vomiting yet but the dry heaves are pretty wretched
