terripeachy, lucky #14 That's awesome. You're one step closer to getting your

afm, I haven't spoken with my doctor yet but I have an appointment on Thursday. I'm with Kaiser so results are posted online as soon as they're available. They also try to include an explanation of the results but some of the explanations are either poorly done or I'm just too much of a moron to understand them. I think what I'm looking for and have to wait to hear from my doctor is what all the results mean in relation to one another.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Someday, it is the same thing. They are so scary though.

Terri, great news!! Fx for great grade embies!!

 

[MommytoLBG]

Terri ~ that's wonderful!! Fxd crossed.

Someday ~ I have no clue what any of that means...wishing you the best on your surgery.

 

[moni77]

Wow so many ups and downs while I was away and trying to catch up with you all!

So sorry Galvin - major hugs to you!

AFM - Been doing the IVF shots since last week - scans are showing 6-7 follies on the left and 3 on the right. Next scan on wed with estimated retrieval this weekend.

Hey I'm back on the forums after a long break, we've been NTNP for about 6 months now and it was a case of it happens it happens but now there's a strong possibility I really want that BFP!! Had some light bleeding 8 dpo and now 4 days late with AF but still getting BFNs. It's doing my head it so much and I'm scared to test again!! X

Good Morning Ladies………

I haven’t been on for a few days. I’ve had a sick little boy with gastro so been cleaning up power vomits and power poo’s………seems to be better today luckily

Hi Nikki, Mommy, Rainshiny.......hope your well

Fezzle – How did the appointment with your GP go??? Have you heard from the fertility clinic yet??

Kfs – sorry to see temp drop. Did you make your appointment??

Book – How you feeling??

Galvan – been thinking of you. Where you at with the treatment now??

Peachy – 14 eggs……..you gotta be happy with that. How many did they fertilize and when do you get to transfer??? How exciting!!!!

Someday – how did your appointment go??

Moni – Your in that stage also like Peachy……grow follies grow……give you baby dust too

Welcome isolabella………sounds promising…….

Afm – well apart from cleaning up poo and vomit, it’s been a normal every other kinda weekend. Nausea has ramped up a little but nothing I cant handle. Im actually enjoying this pregnancy unlike with my son.

 

[terripeachy]

Hey Taurus-I'm glad you are ok. With the silence I was getting worried about everyone. So I had 9 mature and six fertilized. Today they called and said tomorrow will be my transfer. I plan on sticking close to the couch for the next couple days. We just went grocery shopping and to the library for movies/books. I'm ready to be PUPO. Hee hee.

I do have to run in to work tomorrow morning to get my computer and drop off some paperwork. My transfer is at 1p. Yeah!

 

[Taurus8484]

So does that mean you have 15 in total??? or only 6 ready to be used....forgive me, I know nothing about IVF....

How exciting!!!!!!!! You excited???

 

[terripeachy]

Good morning!! I had 14 eggs initially. Out of those, nine were ready for fertilization. Of those 9, only six actually fertilized. So I have six ready to go. By tomorrow it may be a different story but let's hope for six. Out of those six, I think they will put 4 back in with hopes of getting one good one. With my age the risk of multiples is very low, but I won't be upset if it happens.

I was freaking out this morning, but now that I'm all set up at the house, I'm feeling more relaxed. Hubs said he wanted to go to work in the morning and I told him he was stupid and as long as he gets here with PLENTY of time to get to the doctors office, he can go. He thinks his job is so important. Like I one can go on without him. Uh, really? Please. Hee hee. I'm happily taking off for four days and don't care one iota. Well I care one iota but that's he extent of it.

 

[Taurus8484]

hahahaha..............glad to hear your all set up and ready to go. Hubby's dont get it........they never do!!!

4 put it..........you could end up with quads!!!!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Hi gals!

Terri- sooo exciting! Get some rest and be ready to incubate!

Galvan- how are you feeling? have started treatment yet?

Moni- so excited for you! Almost time for retrieval!

Isolabella- Welcome! It sounds super duper promising so don't be afraid to keep testing!

Taurus- poor little man. I hope he's feeling better and I'm so glad you are enjoying the pregnancy. Any new food aversions for you? Hubs kissed me after eating a peanut butter m&m and I got the closest to puking I have been so far.

AFM - first visit with OB today. I really like the group. Heard the HB today and the little one doubled in size in a week! Super nauseated all weekend. I sent my Father an email telling him today. I have have had no contact with them since January and let's just say he chose to respond my berating me for the same stupid thing we fell out over months ago. My whole life, it's always been all about them. I tell them I'm getting divorced- they are more concerned that it was embarrassing my grandmother knew first, etc... and then come to find out they told my brother and sister and even though I told them specifically this was not known information because it is still too early!

 

[Nikki1979]

Terri - how exciting!! 6 is a good number. How many are you going to transfer? 2?

Taurus - glad that this pregnancy is much better than the first. Maybe you are having a girl this time around. Do you have a preference?

Bookwrmgal - congrats on hearing the hearbeat again. I am so sorry about your dad. I had a recent falling out with my sister and the worst thing is that I don't know what I did. She stopped calling me and whenever I call she says she is busy.

Isobella - your symptoms sound promising. Some women just get late BFPs. Fxed for you.

 

[Taurus8484]

Book - no, no new food aversions. I did discover a major aversion to toddler vomit though. I had a little vomit myself cleaning one particular large vomit up. And I cooked him home made fish fingers last night as I know they are his favourite and he hadnt eaten in 2 days and Im glad I did as he ate most of them, but the smell whilst cooking them............turned very green around the gills

Wonderful news you have too.......yay!!!!...about bubba I mean, not your father

Nikki - half half. Half of me would love a little girl, the other half would love a brother for Jaxon to have the sort of relationship only brothers have.......but at my age I would love a happy healthy baby

 

[GalvanBaby]

I just got the results from the CT scan today.The tumor is 2cm and classified 1A meaning it is localized only so great! I have 3 choices take out the one ovary, take out both ovaries, or take it all out. If I take out the one ovary, I have 20% chance that the tumor will reappear on my left ovary, so I will have to have an u/s every 6 months. I don't know what to do, if I take out both can I still get pregnant with IVF?

 

[Nikki1979]

Galvan - I guess you will be able to using donor eggs. I am so sorry you are going through this

 

[Nikki1979]

Taurus - same with me..IF I get pregnant, all I want is a healthy baby.

 

[Rainshiny]

Galvan--good to hear an update from you! I think if you take out both ovaries you will not be able to produce any eggs for IVF. I'd leave one and get the ultrasounds, if you're doing IVF you'll be going in for them anyway!

Taurus--sorry your son was sick, ew! Glad he's feeling better. You too.

Book--nice growth on your bean! An yay for OB appt.! It sucks for people to fault people for nothing. At some point, what can you do? It happened with my sister, and eventually, it turned out her husband was abusing her, and she got out, thank god. After some time, you try again, and hope that they come around. (You meant you'd told him about divorce years ago right? I was worried for a second!)

Moni--nice folly development! G/L for the retrieval!

Isobel--FX for you...

Nikki and Fez--hey there!

kfs--We haven't heard from you...I hope you are doing ok!

Terri--whooop whooop! So exciting!! Are you sure you want quads?? Just saying...If you have a couple high quality ones, 3 might be enough, then you can do the rest next time! lol

I'm one phone call away from turning in adoption paperwork for the home study...on a different path than everyone, but still going for the !! Next we start to put together our pictures and letter to birth mother I think. Then we decide what (if any) types of prenatal drug exposures we are ok with--wild right?? I feel like with having a child whatever way, you sort of just decide what cliff to jump off of first.

 

[Taurus8484]

Galvan - I agree with Rain.....if you do IVF you will be getting ultrasounds on regular occasions and Im sure if they know your history they will keep an eye on it. But ultimately it is your decision and you need to make one that you and your partner are happy with. I would think you would need at least 1 ovary for IVF.

Rain - I think you are doing a wonderful thing and I really hope you get a little bubba soon. I really do believe its not DNA that makes a parent, but the parent themselves. You can be a mother and not be a mother. Hope that makes sense. Did you not chose to go down IVF??? I see you did a few IUI's.

 

[GalvanBaby]

We have 2 volunteers for eggs, so that is not an issue. We had already planned IVF with donor eggs next year. I am just not sure if I am ready for menopause yet.

 

[kfs1]

Taurus - Ugh. So sorry that your son was sick. Glad to hear he's feeling better.

Welcome Isobella!

Moni - Grow, grow, grow follies!

Bookworm - Great news about that strong heartbeat!! So sorry that your family didn't react positively to your news. I still think it's good that you told them because it sounds like they would find a way to negatively use that against you if hadn't. Anyway, focus on the positive in your life. No room for that nonsense!

Galvan - I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this. Even if you move forward with donor eggs using IVF, as Rainshiny said, they'll be closely monitoring you for sure so you'd probably be OK with leaving one ovary if you're not ready for menopause. I would talk to your RE about it for sure.

Rainshiny - Congratulations on moving forward with the adoption process! You're going to make some little baby a very happy one someday for sure.

AF arrived last night. Feeling much better after relaxing over the weekend. Not quite sure what I'm doing this month as I believe my RE might be on vacation??? so I may have to do another round of IUI before moving on to IVF since I haven't had an in-depth conversation with her about the process. Waiting to hear back from the nurse today.

In another news, my DH may have torn his meniscus over the weekend trying to attempt the golf swing from Happy Gilmore of all things. We have to wait until his MRI on Friday to be sure though. We were planning to move forward with surgery for his varicocele but I guess that will have to be on hold now.
