Bookwrmgal and Galvan - Hope the cramping and spotting eases up. I think its just the baby snuggling in real good. I do understand being anxious because as moms we tend to worry about our babies even before they are born.
Rainshiny - I am so sorry it didn't work. I am also planning to adopt in 2-3 years if I don't conceive and have even started looking at adoption agencies. Good luck to you
Taurus - only 3 days until your scan. How exciting!!

 

[kfs1]

Rainshiny - I'm so sorry that things didn't work out for you. I hope you're doing OK. I think it's amazing that you're doing to adopt. Best of luck to you and yours.

Galvan - Hope you're feeling better. Hang in there today.

I went back to the doctors today and I have follies ranging from 16-17mm and a few smaller ones. I have to go back tomorrow because I need to have at least three at 18mm. I should have that by tomorrow, so I will take my shot on Wednesday evening which will push the eggs out of the follicles, and they will retrieve them on Friday (I'm guessing). Then they fertilize them and put two back in after five days. I hope I get a lot of eggs. I'm hoping for a minimum of 8. That will give me a good chance to freeze a few for next time if it doesn't work the first time, or I want more kids in the future. I'm getting SO close. Now I'm not feeling about about my shots considering I have two more days at the most!

kfs1-Can you get excited now?? What are you thinking? hee hee.

 

[Fezzle]

Ooh- terri, it sounds like it's all coming together now!

 

[kfs1]

Very excited for you Terri!

As I said on the other thread, I STUPIDLY tested this morning and it was negative so it's not looking good. I know it's still early (which is why I'm SO mad at myself) but it really does feel like AF is on her way.

 

[GalvanBaby]

The bleeding stopped! I see my RE this afternoon!

Kfs, your chart looks triphasic!!

Terri, awesome news!! Are you doing a 3 day or 5 day transfer?

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Rain Sorry it didn't work out with ED. Please check in with us and let us know how you are doing. Lots and lots of luck with adoption!

Taurus- you are so close to scan day!

Galvan - I'm so relieved the bleeding stopped! Try and take it easy!

Terri- You are so close! I am so excited it is coming together for you! I so know what you mean about the feeling like your uterus is falling out. I also had to laugh about the belly band. I had to start wearing my too big for me shorts (like 3 sizes too big) because my normal clothes are tight at the stomach.

Kfs - don't give up! Your chart still looks amazing!

AFM - the cramping is gone. Still some spotting but it's barely brown tinged cm once or twice a day. My records were faxed over to the new OB group so I'm waiting for them to call me back for an appointment. Beyond the food aversions, I don't feel pregnant today. I am finding that I am only really able to stomach carbs, cheese, and cereal. No puking or anything yet- just a very definite aversion.

 

[terripeachy]

Galvan- The goal is to do a five day transfer, but if there's an emergency-like nothing looks like it's going to make 5 days-they will do the 3 day transfer. I work 10 minutes away from the center, so if I have to rush over there, and do it, I'll be ready.

Now that I think about it, I guess I better drive to work the days after the transfer. I don't want to transfer and then worry about the vibration and bumps on my moto. HA!!HA!! Wouldn't that be a waste of money! I'm glad your bleeding stopped.

Boookwrmgal-That's good that you're not throwing up. I am dreading that part. I would prefer food aversions vs. throwing up, but that also makes me really sad. It's for a good cause!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Terri lol. It is definitely something to dread. I think for me it's because I am not someone prone to puking. Of course the nausea gets so bad at times that I wish I would

 

[MommytoLBG]

Taurus ~ only a few days more! so exciting!! And about the belly band...I was already "showing" a bit this last time. So I had to chuckle at that.

Galvan ~ glad the bleeding stopped! What a relief for you.

Book ~ the worst part of pregnancy...the nausea...i know the exact feeling. But at this point, I am so ready to go thru it all again. And enjoy every aspect of pregnancy. Hang in there!

Kfs ~ its early...no bumming yet.

Terri ~ thanks for the laugh about the vibrations! SO close! Friday???

AFM, nothing going on...just patiently waiting.

 

[Rainshiny]

Bookworm and galvan- I'm so glad you're feeling better. Book- congrats on graduating to OB.
Terri- so excited for your retrieval! It's amazing. And just a few days away.
Taurus -waiting to hear how the scan goes!
KFs-FX FX for you!!

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. For some reason I'm totally ok with where I'm headed-we already have almost all the initial paperwork done. I feel like I tried what I wanted to try and if we want to do embryo donation again later that is an option. Im seeing my RE in two weeks to find out options for autoimmune issues since I think that is a factor. I'm happy to stop those shots and get my life back for a while. Maybe it's the hormone afterglow (hope not) but I'm feeling ready and motivated for the next phase. It will also be a bit of a pain in the ass, but in a different way (dealing with social workers-haha). If you hear of any extra children out there let us know 😄
I'm gonna keep stalking the thread!

 

[GalvanBaby]

So I am still bleeding, it is closer to spotting than flow though. I decided not to drive the 4 hours to my RE, and found an OB here that is high risk and was recommended by a friend who was high risk. She saw me immediately. My cervix is 100% closed, uterus is growing, and i have some blood. She prescribed me meds to relax my uterus so it won't contract, meds for constipation(wonderful progesterone), and she said to stick to 200 mg progesterone per day. I am ordered strict bedrest for the next 3 days. I go for blood work tomorrow, prenatal and another beta. Then, I go to see her Friday unless the bleeding hasn't stopped by Thursday. U/s Monday!

 

[Fezzle]

I'm glad you had someone check you out! Fx it stops!

I just started spotting so I think I'm out.

 

[kfs1]

Fezzle - Ugh. I hope the spotting is just a fluke. Fx that AF stays away.

Galvan - It's nice to hear that your new doc took you seriously - sometimes they can just blow you off, ya know? And it's great that you now have a great local doctor in addition to your RE. Now stay off those feet and relax!!

 

[terripeachy]

Galvan-Great news about the new doctor. Woohoo..

Rainshiny-Glad you're at peace with your decision. I hope everything is easy from here on out.

Mommy2-Glad I could make you chuckle a little.

Things are not coming along for me at all. I thought that I would trigger tomorrow, but it's not happening. The nurse called and said I'm to stay on my remaining medicine and go back to the office on Thursday. THURSDAY!! So, if I trigger Thursday, I'll have a Saturday retrieval. I just told my boss that I'd be out on Friday. Grrr...hee hee. PLUS, I just ordered more menopur on Sunday thinking that I only had one more day to be on it. The prescription was written for 5 vials, and I take 3 vials at a time, so obviously, not enough for two days. I got the meds today, so once again, not enough. Well, I paid a copay of $45 for 5 vials, when before I paid a copay of $45 for 20 or 25 vials! Now I need to order more and I'm going to have to pay ANOTHER copay. I called the nurse and told her that I want to get MORE medicine than I need if I have to keep paying copays for it. Hopefully she'll call me tomorrow morning or later tonight, although I think they may be closed, and tell me how much to order. Wasting money really makes me angry. I feel so broke already and then stupid stuff like that makes it even worse! And now I have to figure out what to cook for dinner. FML. hee hee.

So now at a minimum, retrieval on Saturday, and I'll take a few days off early next week if need be, and then another couple days for transfer/after transfer. I guess the good news is I will probably be able to ride early next week. HA!!HA!!

So much happens on this thread whilst I’m sleeping…….suppose that’s what happens when you are on half way round the world……

Hi Nikki……….where are you at with your cycle??

Peachy – so did you do another ultrasound??? Is that what you mean when you say not coming along for you??? Sorry they are stuffing you around with your meds…..breathe and think long term it will be worth it

Kfs1 – so looking at FF you have a 12-13 day LP, so you’re not out yet and your temps haven’t dropped….fingers crossed for you

Galvan – I remember when I was around 14 weeks with my son I had a bleed. I had to go into the clinic anyways as I because I am negative blood group I had to have an Anti D injection with any bleed. They checked my cervix whilst I was there. I remember the Doc saying they needed to make sure my cervix was still closed as even a slightly open cervix wasn’t good, so the fact that your cervix is completely closed is a good thing. Just try and relax….I know harder done

Book – spotting around this stage is very normal. In fact it’s a good sign apparently. Mean bubba in snuggling right in. Im with you on the food aversions……anything to do with red meat has me gagging.

Mommy – Where are you in your cycle??? Sorry, you may have said but my memory is gone these days

Hi Rain

Fezzle – hoping you’re not……hoping it’s IB…..your cycles are different lengths, have they given you a reason for that??

afm - 2 days til my scan. I would say Im about 80% excited, 20% nervous. I think everything is progressing well.........the only thing that is making me nervous is my lack of vomiting. I was so sick with my son......dont get me wrong, I would be greatful for a vomitless pregnancy but still.......I still have the food aversions I had with him but not quite so bad. The smell or sight of red meat only has me gagging this time where as with him it would make me vomit......anyways, guess I will know in a couple of days

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Ugh Terri, that bites! I would be so annoyed by the additional co-pays. I'm glad you have a silver lining with possibility of riding soon

Galvan - I am so glad you got in to see a Dr quickly and you have a plan of action. Fx to you. Now go relax!

Fezzle- Fx that it's not AF coming.

Taurus- ugh red meat here too.

AFM- I am so annoyed today. I think the nausea and the hormones are in overdrive as well but yesterday morning I called the OB group. I was told they couldn't schedule me until they got my records. I called my RE and they sent the records within a couple of hours. No one called me today. I called this morning to verify they received the fax- nothing!
Plus, my job contract is up in November and the prospects have been very slim in the library world- lots of competition for few jobs. I figured worst case I would go back to school for a school library media/teaching cert and we can live off of federal school loans plus DH's income for a year ( not ideal, especially with a baby, but it's an option). I contacted my old grad program for info and keep getting shuffled off to different people! For a graduate program in INFO STUDIES you would think they would have more easily accessible information! Ugh!

 

[terripeachy]

Bookwrmgal-I had to laugh about the information for the info. studies department. How true! hee hee. I hate when doctors offices don't get the information we need. I had my work nurse take my blood for the prolactin, and then the office never got the paperwork from her. I was SOO irritated with her. I hate our work nurse. Sorry things are so crazy, but hopefully they will get them tomorrow and you can make an appointment.

Taurus-Good morning! I have been going in for scans every other day, but I got excited today when the doctor initially said to come back tomorrow. When the nurse called, she talked to MY doctor and he said to come back Thursday. I have to listen to my doctor versus the rotating doctor, so Thursday it is. I guess if it works out for the best, I won't be mad, but still...the good news is that my estrogen is now around 1616 (they want it to keep rising), and my progesterone is still low, so all is fine with my body.

Sorry you guys are gagging at the idea of red meat. I'm having that for dinner tomorrow night. I guess I better enjoy it!

 

[Fezzle]

Taurus- I'm still at the initial tests with the GP stage, so they haven't looked into anything like different length cycles. The big question has been if I'm ovulating or not! Now that it looks like I am, thanks to the Metformin I've been taking for the last few months, I'm guessing once I get referred to the fertility clinic they'll look at those sorts of things. This morning I was still spotting but no AF yet.

I was craving red meat yesterday and ended up getting us some juicy fillet steaks instead of the chicken we were supposed to have!

 

[GalvanBaby]

Good morning ladies! Good night, Taurus. LOL

I have been 14 hours with no bleeding! I went and did bloods this morning. I will get the results around 3pmCST. I am so nervous to see the HCG #, but can't wait at the same time. LOL They should be above 2000 now.
