Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

[DaisyQ]

Thanks jersey. Yes, hot flashes are a common side effect. it's like early menopause over here.

Let us know how your monitoring goes today.

Jchic, how are those injections going?

 

[jerseygirl412]

Hi Daisy.. sorry about the hot flashes, hopefully they won't last long. When do you go in for your u/s and bw? monitoring went well today, very crowded too, it's heartbreaking to think that there are so many of us that go through this struggle. I had 1 12mm in my left ovary, not too sure about the right, the girl doing the u/s was throwing out a bunch of numbers. I'll get the results of the bw sometime this afternoon, and depending on the bloodwork, I have to go back either Sunday morning or Monday morning for more bw and another u/s.

 

[DaisyQ]

Sounds good!

I go in in Wednesday (cd11) for bloodwork and ultrasound. I can feel both ovaries already (swollen/tender feeling), so I'm just hoping I won't be overripe by then.

 

[jerseygirl412]

Daisy...maybe that's a good sign for ovulation!! Got the blood work results back, my thyroid level is perfect, rest of the blood work is great, back Monday morning for another u/s and more blood work!! At least it's a rest for the weekend!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Jersey, do they test thyroid more than once for you? The only tested it during my initial work up.

 

[jerseygirl412]

Daisy.... I have an underactive thyroid that the RE found during my initial testing, the RE put me on Synthroid for that, so they do a test on me to make sure I'm at the accurate dose for the thyroid and that came back perfect!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Ahhhh, gotcha.

 

[BlueStorm]

Daisy that is amazing maybe holding that baby will bring you some good luck!

Sorry I haven't been around much but my in laws are coming for a visit and I was going crazy getting ready.

I have some news...I was asked to be on a talk show called The Revolution. They are doing a segmant about TTC and infertility. the tape date is 4/10 but not sure of the air date yet. I will keep you all posted. I just contacted RMA to let them know incase they ask me about my clinic. I have a meeting with the marketing director to have something prepared incase RMA NJ comes up at all on air. I hope I don't have a panic attack on the show!

 

[DaisyQ]

You should ask for a free cycle at RMA to compensate you for the publicity!! That's exciting BlueStorm - let us know when it airs.

I think I might go hold that baby again this afternoon... she's such a little bundle of love. I'm hoping her baby vibes will kick my reproductive organs into gear. Wake up down there!! C'mon ovaries! C'mon uterus! C'mon tubes! Let's all work together now, you hear? Common purpose! BABY!

[jchic]

Hi! I missed so much! Sorry for the silence! We closed on our house and i have been up to my eyeballs with moving. We didnt hAve cable til yesterday or internet!
How is everyone? Updates!?

Afm- scan on weds showed endometrioma cyst same size, so no change in that. Its about 1.5mm. B/w came back good so. I started follistim injections at 150. And go in tomro for scan. They are giving me massive headaches! Yuck!

 

[jchic]

Blue! Holy smokes you superstar! Are u excited? How did u get on that??? I Agree with daisy- free ivf girl!

 

[jchic]

Daisy.... I have an underactive thyroid that the RE found during my initial testing, the RE put me on Synthroid for that, so they do a test on me to make sure I'm at the accurate dose for the thyroid and that came back perfect!!

I have that too! Hashimotos! I am on 50mg of synthroid And its workin like a charm

 

[marie44]

Bluestorm - congrats on the show! I was just thinking there wasn't enough coverage on assisted conception.
Daisy & Jersey - Yes, the clomid side effects were crazy. The hot flahes were annoying & it can stay in your blood for 7-10 days after taking your last pill. The mood swings were horrible, if i wasn't crying & depressed, i was snapping at everyone & thinking evil thoughts all the time (wth?). I even kicked dh out of the house & i've never done that once in our 8 years together!

AFM - I'm waiting to do my scan on thursday to see if they see anything. I'm a little nervous but mostly excited!

 

[DaisyQ]

OMG, your kicking DH out of the house makes me feel SO much better about going CRAZY and trying to slap him last clomid cycle. I was seriously losing my mind, I was so enraged at him. Anyway. All done with clomid now (yay).

So excited for your scan Marie! And yours Jess - I can't wait to hear how your ovaries are doing!

 

[jchic]

Hey girls! Scan went well. on CD 7 which was yesterday I had 2 12mm follies, 1 11mm follie and 11 under 10. I was told to take injections last night and tonight then back in tomorrow AM for a scan and more b/w. I am thinking the IUI will be Thurs and Fri or Fri and Sat. just my thoughts, who knows?!

 

[DaisyQ]

Jchic, we are likely going to be tww buddies. I expect my iuis on the same dates. Sounds like you are having an awesome response to the injectables.

 

[BlueStorm]

Jchic - A friend got an email about them looking for someone to be on the show, she forwarded it to me and i send my info. After a bunch of questions and stuff they asked me to be on.

So happy your responding so nicely to the meds! It won't be long now. I think your IUI will be before the weekend

Marie - Thanks I am excited to talk about my infertility on the show and hope to see more coverage on this type of stuff!

Hope everyone else is doing well. I know I said I would start a front page but I've just been sooo busy at work and home so I haven't had a chance to do it, just trying to catch up today on threads and journals. If I get time tonight I will do it I promise

 

[jerseygirl412]

Hi Ladies...sorry I've been feeling a little under weather!! There's so much excitement going on so happy for you Blue!! Marie...I'm so excited for you!! Daisy and Jchic we will be 2ww buddies, I have to take my trigger shot tonight...3 eggs on the left and one on the right so hopefully the DH's reaches one!! I'm going in tomorrow for my first IUI and Wednesday for my 2nd

Lots and lots of

 

[DaisyQ]

Yay Jersey! Lots and lots of dust! Wow so eggs mature even faster with injectables eh? I thought CD 12 was super early for an IUI in my case - you are going in on CD 9 & 10? Love the shorter wait...
