Hey girls, I see there are some new ladies on here since I've been gone. Welcome all and good luck to you. I will try to catch up on you. Sorry I haven't been able to keep up with the updates on the front page, I will try to get to that soon!
 
How long were you told to abstain for before ER for DH's sperm count? Was it 2 days?
 
Hello ladies,

i am back sooner than i expected. i have some questions that maybe some one can enlighten me or share experiences.

from my last cycle that ended in late july, i got my period after wards on August 1. it lasted a week (less than normal for me) and it seemed like a normal period. I still have slight bleeding & spotting but not a full flow (sorry for being so graphic)

Yesterday was my 5 yr annversary. went out for pancakes and breakfast. hubby and i had the exact same breakfast, to the last glass of coffee. Around 1 PM i got the sickest urge of nausea and headaches and dizziness. I have never experienced such nausea. DH arranged dinner at the restaurant we had our reception in on our wedding day. I felt absolutely horrible knowing i felt so sick and hubby had this all planned out. We went hoping for the best and that the food was going to take away this sickness...DEAD WRONG! i ended up getting sick during dinner and had to excuse myself. I couldn't hold anything down (twice!). DH was so dissappointed and so was i. I tried to attribute it to something form breakfast, but DH and i had the exact same things to eat and he was not sick at all. AFter dinner drank lots of water to stay hydrated. after a while i ate a dessert at home and felt ok ..but then a few hours later, again--headache, nausea, dizzy. no upset stomach at all.

Now here is my question..even though i am not trying to get my hopes up, is it possibly i may be pregnant even though i just had my period? Could i be still coming down from my cycle of hormone treatment (it has been almost 3 weeks since i stopped)? Last week i got a stomach bug so bad i had to leave work upset stomach, naseau, you name it. lost 5 lbs that time. gained it back and lost them again after my episode last night.

Have you guys experienced anything similar after hormone therapy? and just incase, my cycle was cancelled due to overstimulation. i took into consideration the responses about whether or not to abstain from sex after cancelling a cycle and we kept to it for 99% of the time
 
Poms, first, I am sorry to hear you arent feeling well. Have you tested? Do you think the hormones effected your cycle, etc? I am not really sure how that would work, but IF you are prego, I would take a test to make sure! Wouldnt that be a great anniversary!

i did a pt before i got my period BFN. i think i had a mixture of a bad period and stomach bug last week..so not sure..RN didnt think it had to do with thehormones. i am goinh to take a test soon again..it doesnt make sense to me.
 
Hey RMA ladies:) on another thread I brought up the topic of an in-person group. I have been looking and there really aren't any fertility support groups that aren't run by a therapist lol. I was hoping to do a once a month "meet up" for some of us NJ ladies (sorry if you're not in NJ:( )! I have 2 others that are in with me! Let me know if you are interested!!!
 
Good luck POMS! I hope u get that :BFP: !!

Quick update with me...I had my retrieval yesterday (aug 12). They retrieved 32 eggs!!! Of which, 25 fertilized! I'm so happy! Now I just need those embies to GROWWWW!!! Found out the day before my retrieval that my progesterone levels increased too early so I won't be having a transfer this month :( Theyll be doing PGD Friday with whatever embryos make it...then freezing for a transfer next month.

So hoping this works!!!

I'm SO bloated and uncomfortable today....I seriously think I look 3 months prego already!!! Ughhh! Anyone else experiencing this??

Hope we all get our :BFP: soon!!! :)

Yay 49!!! Your numbers were high like mine!! I had 21 retrieved. And YESSSS I was looking like 3 months preggo!! I went down 7 lbs since retrieval on Friday. Don't worry. Did they tell you about OHSS and Sri king Gatorade etc??
 
Lindsay...

Yes they told me to drink 2l of water/Gatorade everyday. I normally drink a lot of water as it is so that's no problem. They said as long as I'm going to the bathroom as often as I should with drinking that much I should be ok. I remember being bloated for about a week with my last retrieval but not this much!! So it took about a week for u to be back to norm?? Did u find Gatorade helped more than water?? When's ur transfer? R u Doing pgd? How many are they implanting?? So exciting!!

Hey! They gave us the same directions lol! I usually do more water than Gatorade but try to drink 2 small bottles of Gatorade a day. It's hard because I don't drink a lot is fluid usually haha! No my retrieval was Friday and I felt WAY less bloated yesterday! Totally better today!
My transfer is Thursday in Morristown. Very excited! They are transferring 2. We are part of the chromosome study. Sorry what is pgd?
What about you! When is transfer/which RMA do you go to/how many transferring?!!
 
That's great!!! Thursday will be here before u know it!! Fingers crossed!!!:happydance:

My transfer was cancelled for this month because of my progesterone levels so it will be sometime in mid September. PGD is preimplantation genetic testing. I've had 2 IUIs (both BFN), and this is my 4 cycle of IVF (1 BFN, 2 m/c). They don't know what was causing the m/c's so that's why they wanted to move forward with testing the embryos before implanting in case it was a problem with the embryos. So, I'm SO glad we have a good number or embies...hopefully that will mean we have a better chance of getting some good embryos for sept!!!:baby:

My main doc is dr hock in somerset, but I do monitoring in eatontown so I usually only saw dr hock on Monday's in somerset
 
I'm sorry I did read that. Best of luck this time- huge numbers, girl!!!
I go to Somerset too!! Who is your nurse?! Where in NJ do u live?? I have Dr Maguire but I met Dr Hock in morning monitoring. My nurse is Christine:)
