[lilyV]

karenh - thanks so much for your insight. I do o and did every cycle, released 1-4 or so eggs but nothing. do you o later when on femara then clomid? I'm so sorry af got you. gl in whatever journey your life takes you..

J_Lynn - thanks for your comment on fostering, leading to adoption. I'll keep this in the back burner...

Karen - What does Oregon offer? I know that here, you actually get paid to adopt through the state (monthly stipend). Same for fostering, but if Oregon doesn't offer... that's too bad! Good luck with everything!

Here you can foster or you can adopt. They are completely different programs. We have been through both. We really don't want to deal with them again. Some day some how we will get the money needed for international adoption. Our first fundraiser is a garage sale this saturday, and I have already gotten a good responce. I am excited!

 

[Cridge]

Ooh yeah - international adoption is very pricey!! GL with your garage sale! I hope you're able to earn the money quickly so you can get on it!!

I am really tripping myself out. Today I am 7dpo and I have been having cramping in my uterus and my mind has convinced me I'm pregnant and that it is not AF symptoms. This is so not psychologically healthy to do to myself *sigh*

CD8 was reported with 1.2cm and a 1.1cm follicles on my right ovary. I've gotten these results or better from clomid. Plus she didn't tell me I have any others... Does this get better?

That's really early to do a follie check, isn't it? I never had mine done before day 10 - they can go by .3cm a day and by day 10 you could have a 1.8 and 1.7 which still isn't huge but by day 12 or 13 it could be well over 2. So yeah, I would say those are good. My doctor never does it earlier than day 12 - I only had mine done this last time on cd10 because day 12 fell on a Sunday and the clinic wasn't open. So I did it on Friday (cd10) and then again on Monday (cd13)

 

[lilyV]

Mine do it on cd3 and then start on cd8. the meds are taken cd3-7. I go every other day from cd8 until I get close, like from 1.7cm and then they wanna see me every day. I get b/w and u/s done same day.

thanks for your optimism, J_Lynn. Appreciate it

 

[ESwemba84]

What JLynn said......I didn't get mine until CD 14.

Also, JLynn, I'm 5 DPO (7 DP Trigger) and I'm getting very minor cramp like pains. Unlike you, I'm convinced its AF coming early. I hope you're right and I'm wrong!

Whoooooooa girl I wouldn't want those ultrasound bills! I'd tell my doctor I hope he's doing it pro-bono lol Each ultrasound costs me like $70 :/ Ugh! So two a month is my max. My trigger shot is $70, and I couldn't do it every-other day for a week and then every-other. Whoalawdy lol

But seriously - I think you'll be fine and those follies will get bigger by the day

 

[babybemine]

yeah it seems like af may be coming right on track. sucky thing is not going to recheck hcg until friday. by then it may be to late (if hcg is back to 0) to use meds this cycle. hmmm

 

[Prayerful]

Hi ladies! I haven't been on the computer for the past week or so, and I missed you! Hope you are all doing well!

Karen - I'm sorry to hear AF arrived. I pray your hubby comes around to the idea of adoption soon and that the funds become available quickly.

J_Lynn - I didn't realize foster to adopt was a less expensive route. Hopefully it doesn't come to that for us but if it does, I am glad to know that information.

MMW - I can't remember (and am too lazy to go back and try to look it up! ) but how many embryos did you transfer?

Tonya - Oh, you are so close to holding that little one in your arms! Still so excited for you!

Lily - That is a lot of scans! Why do they do it so frequently? When I was doing Femara or Clomid cycles I went in only on day 11, or a day off from that depending on scheduling issues.

As J_Lynn mentioned, the follies will continue to grow and should get to a decent size in the next 3-4 days.

Babybemine - Would they let you restart meds right away once HCG is back to zero, or would they make you sit out another month anyway? Could you call and ask to be able to do your HCG earlier just in case?

Lola - I hope you don't mind my asking, but how are things going with the baby boy?

We transferred one, and are having one baby. It didn't split naturally or anything.

 

[lilyV]

ESwemba84 - hope you're wrong, and Femara is a success for you

J_Lynn - we don't pay for them here in Ontario I get 6-9 u/s a cycle.. Progesterone is not covered by our public health care, and neither does my company's insurance. I pay $86 out of pocket for it. Progesterone suppositories are $36 for 10-12, can't remember how many exactly.

Prayerful - Here, the clinic's done it this often to monitor the growth of the follicles. If I'd be doing IUI or IVF, it'd be the same I believe.

Lola - I hope you don't mind my asking, but how are things going with the baby boy?

Things are going well, we are working on getting him to self soothe because he no longer takes a night feeding but wakes up looking for his pacifier, so we got him a sound machine, he is asleep quickly with minimal fuss, where as previously he had to be rocked until unconscience! I think he must be growing because he has slept A LOT today, hope it doesnt interfere wiht his night time sleepy.

 

[Prayerful]

We are thinking of transferring two... not sure yet though. It is such a big decision.

 

[Prayerful]

I'm glad to hear it is going well! So good too that you don't have to get up with him much during the night!

well, at first we were getting up to feed him but by the time we got the bottle ready, he was back to sleep, so we just stopped interupting his sleep to attempt to feed him
