Anyway, more later.

Terri - awesome news. Make sure u drink lots of fluids and rest. I hope all of the eggs get fertilized and you get lots of frosties.

Everyone is moving forward...yay!

 

[terripeachy]

Bookwrmgal-congrats on the job!!! Also so happy Amelia is doing well and has a good heartbeat. We were all getting worried about you so thanks for checking in.

Have a great Saturday everyone. Today I start the progesterone so pantiliners and grandma panties time. Booo.

I got my report today. The nurse called and said 'They retrieved 17 eggs, and 14 were mature. How are you feeling?' I said 'I feel a little sore, but how many fertilized?' She said '14.' I was like OH!! HA!!HA!! Last time I had three numbers-retrieved, mature, fertilized, so I was confused. Woop woop. I'm happy, but still not pregnant, so remaining calm.

Freakin awesome Terri!!!

I have a MIL vent. hee hee.
Yesterday my MIL called her son to ask him to find a store in New Mexico (she is going there for a church conference at the end of the month), that sells Lactaid and Braggs Apple Cider vinegar. He's like 'mom, can't you ask the hotel concierge?' She said 'Last time I did that, they sent me all over the city and I never got what I wanted.' So...we looked it up for her and then he said 'Why don't you pack the vinegar?' She said 'I did that last time and it spilled all over my clothes.' *sigh* The store is about 7 miles from the hotel, but that would be an expensive cab ride, so she didn't want to do that. Finally, I called my sister, and said 'Can you take MIL some vinegar and lactaid at the end of the month?' She lives in NM, and said 'sure.' My thinking is that if you have a special diet, you just have to pay the taxi to take you to get your special food instead of inconveniencing everyone. *sigh* She is nuts for nuts, and cannot do anything without calling my hubs. She is totally dependent on his opinion and it's odd. Please oh please, don't let her have to move in with us for at least 10 years. I can't take it! /rant

*peeks in here*

Hi guys! I have a confession to make.. I have been stalking all of you for a week... and I have read every page! So I finally decided I had better register and join in because you are all so lovely and friendly!

I am 37, married since July (DH is 40) and we have been TTC since April. We have an unusual situation as I live in Australia and my husband lives in the US Virgin Islands so I actually travel between the two places every 2 months. I rack up those frequent flyer miles, let me tell you! Eventually I will move there - in a year or two.

I have a 14 yr old DD, and it took me one month off the pill to conceive her, so here I was thinking it's a piece of cake! Apparently not, and when I am only with my husband for 1 or 2 out of 3 cycles, we reduce our chances greatly.

So I am currently DPO 14/15 (I just got home two days ago so technically I am DPO14, but Aussie time tells me I am into day 15. Either way, Ovuview (app) tells me AF is today, and I am feeling crampy and bloated like the nasty witch is on her way, but I have also felt nauseous and so much heartburn for a week, and have been living off pretzels and juice. I have become addicted to POAS, but so far not even the slightest hint of a BFP.

I feel like I know all of you from the last 101 pages!

It's 4am Aussie time.. I am still on Caribbean time lol.. yay jetlag!!

 

[somedayisnow]

Book, congrats on the job! I'm happy you're doing well. I'm feeling better every day.

Terri, Hot damn! 14 is amazing. Now pull those granny panties up to your armpits and do your thang.

Welcome, CaribbeanBaby. Now Australia to the US Virgin Islands is what I call a real long distance relationship.

 

[CaribbeanBaby]

Thanks Someday Yeah, we definitely have a LDR!! Spending my time in Australia, Caribbean, LA, NY, Honolulu, Miami.. who am I to complain, right? #FirstWorldProblems ... But I do complain... I wish I could be with my husband all the time. Or I wish I could bring his little swimmers home with me in a jar so I could try some weird turkey baster methods in his absence! hahaha..

 

[GalvanBaby]

14 fertilized is freaking awesome, Terri!!!

Welcome Caribbean! Fxed!! YOu definitely do have a long distance relationship!!

 

[Nikki1979]

Terri - awesome. Seems like you will have lots of frosties left over for your second and third baby

Carribean - welcome I can only imagine how hard it must be without your DH and ttc is difficult enough as it. I hope you get your bfp soon.

I had a pretty busy weekend. My great uncle is sick and is admitted to the hospital. I have been in and out of the hospital pretty much whole day today. Just praying that he gets better soon.

 

[terripeachy]

Thanks all...

Nikki-My prayers are with you and your great uncle. Hope he gets better soon.

Welcome Caribbean!

 

[terripeachy]

Os Win!!! They swept the Detroit Tigers 3-0. So awesome.

I'm happy, but now I'm definitely going to have to go to the ALCS! I think we'll try to go to one game out of 7 (ok, maybe two). My future baby is going to be wearing clothes that are too small because I'm spending all my money on baseball. HA!!HA!! I guess I better get my sewing machine out and start making some diapers and such. hee hee.

Fertility report-14/14 still growing strong. Can you believe it? I think that's amaze balls and I don't really believe it. Could my increased meds really mean that much of a difference? I had to tell hubs to lay off his beer on Thursday night after the game. Now he probably thinks that it doesn't matter that he drank several beers after the game. *sigh* Um..newsflash, it's not hard to get 14 sperm. hee hee.

 

[BBbliss]

Terri this is amazing!!! I'm so happy for you! So so happy

I'm ordering my meds this wk and also noticed they will have me on more then last time also. Can you tell me what the difference on dose was for you? I know everyone is different... I get me tests back tomorrow and really praying I'm still ok

Congratulations again! Yay!!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Bbliss-This time I had 225 Gonal F and 187.5 Menopur (2.5 powders) for 8 or 9 days. The second to last day I had 187.5 Gonal F and 187.5 Menopur. The final day I had 150 Gonal F and 150 Menopur (2 powders). I had 17 eggs, 14 mature and fertilizing.

The first time I did 150 Gonal F and 150 Menopur the entire time. I had 14 eggs, 9 mature, 6 fertilized, 3 1/2 were hanging on for dear life for a 5 day transfer of 3 embryos.

No emotional difference in the meds. Well, the first day I had a headache, but that could be anything.

 

[Rainshiny]

Someday, you totally made me cry into my cornflakes last Friday when you said adoption was magical! That was the sweetest thing!! Thank you for sharing that.

Book, so glad your scan went well. G/l with blood pressure. Congrats on the job!!!

Nikki, I'm sorry your great uncle is ill- sending healing thoughts. Remember to take care of yourself too.

Welcome, carribean! You could store his sperm I think. 😃

Have fun with the bedroom action fez!
Terri, you are producing like a mother hen over there!! That rocks.

Crazy busy weekend here! SW asked about more of our feelings. It was fine I guess. One more visit- individual meetings- Thursday.

 

[BBbliss]

Terri thank you for taking the time, mine was very close to yours. 150 gonal and 150 menopur and up 225 menapur at the end. 14 follicles 8 retrieved and fertilized and 2 day 5blasts and a chemical. This time they are starting me with 225 gonal and not sure what menopur will be. I think they were waiting to see my cd3 bloods are now, I just got them back and I know they are great, but my AMH went down from 5.4 to 2.5ng/mL in 15 months I know it's amazing for 45 but just comes to show how fast things change

 

[KBrain3377]

Hi ladies -

I'm trying to read up and catch up with everyone. Wow - so much going on!!! So exciting, it really seems that almost everyone is progressing here. Wouldn't it be amazing if we get a load of BFP in the next few weeks?

I'm still really exhausted and I think it's depressing me somewhat - I just can't keep up with anything. Between work and my DS (15 months) I have no energy for anything else, not even for my DH who is being so amazing and understanding. But my little man is just amazing, he's saying a few new words every day now, it's such a great time. Most days if I wasn't so drained and going to bed at 9pm, I wouldn't really know I'm pregnant (well except for the lovely progesterone Crinone I have to insert nightly )

BBliss and Kfs - good luck with your IVFs this round, I'll be stalking your updates!

Rain - I also think that adoption is an amazing act of pure love, and I love the idea of "outsourcing" the pregnancy part - it's kind of true!

Terri -waaahooo!!!! Holy Cr*p! 14 fertilized eggs is ridiculous! Wait, why does your husband need to lay off the beer on Thursday then, if they are already fertilized? Maybe I'm just really confused, but I thought I knew how IVF worked

Someday, glad to hear you're recovering so well, how are you feeling now?

Welcome Carribean! This is a great bunch of women, I'm sure you'll love it here. Your LDR is inspirational, makes you think that some of us have it so easy getting to see our DH every day. On the other hand, there are some days when I'd trade seeing my DH for a trip to the Virgin Islands! I live in Chicago, so those days are about every November - March. And absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

Nikki - so sorry about your uncle, hope he gets better soon. It's so hard when an older family member is sick, life kind of comes to a standstill.

Spud - any update on the BFP????

Book - glad to see you back, and congrats on the job!

Sorry such a long post ladies, I'll try to keep them shorter.

 

[BBbliss]

Thank you KB! I'm also going to try to learn about all of you

Sorry my post ended kind of short Terri , I was called to go back to work haha, but I wanted to say I hope to be as lucky as you

Any more fertilization update?
