Femara Friends!

[Prayerful]

Thanks Chook. I've been resting all day today and actually took tomorrow off work because I wasn't sure how I would feel. Definitely trying to keep it low stress. I don't think I'll find out until maybe Friday whether it will be a 3 day or 5 day transfer.

Congrats NC... your little girl is almost here!

Brandy: Yes the longest part will most likely be waiting to be chosen. The birth mom chooses us. Our agency has a website that our profile will go on and the birthparents from around the country can look through them. There are hundreds of profiles though so really our best bet to be picked is if someone we know knows someone who’s daughter, or whoever, is thinking of placing her child. This part could take years.

Chook: It is so good too hear that everything is going well so far. I pray that the next 7 months so just as well.

Prayerful: Congratz on your 9 eggs! That is great! Can’t wait to hear how many embrios you get! How many are you thinking of transferring?

Nc: congrats on your little girl!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you! Might a silly question but do you get "moved up on the list" at all as others are chosen? Or closer to the front of the book I should say?

 

[Prayerful]

Well, I got my fert report a little bit ago... Of the 9 collected, only 6 were mature, and 5 fertilized through ICSI. I'll get another update sometime tomorrow morning. Praying all 5 continue to thrive!

I don't think so. What happenes is they go to the website and can search my different criteria. If my profile matches whatever they decided to search by then it will come up. I don't think there is a list to move up. You can check out other people's profiles and how it works at itsaboutlove.org

Five is still great! I hope they all keep growing!

No problems! Anyone who isn't part of it would be oblivious. I am open to any questions. Feel free to ask!

Good luck next time shugga! Must be a relief for your body to be responding.

Where are you up to sugar pi? Have you been able to start your cycle yet? X

How are you doing prayerful? X

How old is your little ninja now cridge??? X

Chook - little ninja was measuring 3 days behind from the get-go as well. It seemed odd since I knew exactly when I ovulated, but he was fine. He always measured a little small, and he was 7# 3oz. when he was born (which I think is perfect, but small as far as I'm concerned). So no worries! He's 10 months now.... crrrraaaazy!! It goes by way too fast!!!

 

[Prayerful]

I got another report this morning. I have two 4 cell embies, one 3 cell, one 2 cell, and one that is only a 1 cell. Transfer will be tomorrow at 9:30! We will be transferring two.

 

[karenh]

Yay! Good luck!

Hi Girls , sorry I was slow to respond, so things have been amazing. I have to admit at the beginning in the the sleepless fog I wondered what I was thinking and I doubted myself at every moment. Now I see this beautiful little girl who is so charming and soo funny. We are having a little social for her on Sun. This pic is from last weekend

[Prayerful]

So adorable, MK!

 

[nc1998]

Fx'd for you, prayerful! Hope the transfer goes well and it's your turn for a baby!

 

[Prayerful]

We transferred two 8-cell embryos on Saturday morning! OTD is Oct 4. Here is a pic just prior to transfer...

 

[sugarpi24]

Prayerful: Yay, your embies look good! I hope they stick!

Cridge- yes it really is a relief to know this medicine is helping me out, I LOVE IT LOL

 

[shuggababies]

Chook, I am so glad to see your update! Sounds like things are going well.

Brandy - congratulations on your twin girls! How fun!

Karen - how exciting that you are getting close to being approved! I am sure you will pass with flying colors.

prayerful - good luck with the next ivf steps... fx'd for you!

shugga - isn't it great to have a regular ovulatory cycle? I actually didn't take femara the cycle I got pregnant (had the flu!) but I think just having been on it for a few months made me actually ovulate that month, although late.

mk - how can your baby be 1?! I totally remember when you posted her newborn pics - seems so recent.

afm - I am 34 weeks with our little girl (don't think I ever told you guys the baby's sex). She has been doing well on all of the scans and we are getting really excited to meet her! We already have two little boys, so we have had fun getting pink stuff this time around.

nc1998: yes the feeling is great to know something works for me

 

[shuggababies]

Karen- How exciting!! It sounds like the process is moving along for you. Whats after that?

Shugga- That’s a great relief when you can get your cycles on track and O’ing. I was all over the board too but with femara it was a very steady 28 day cycle with ovulation on 13-14! FX this will be it for you!


AFM- I haven’t updated in a while! I am almost out of my first trimester!! I have seen the babies 5 times on ultrasound and I get to see them again tomorrow. I love seeing them wiggle around and I count their fingers and toes.. Makes me melt just thinking about it. We found out 2 days ago that we are having twin GIRLS! I bought their furniture for their nurseries and will begin painting and decorating next month.. I am still in awe that I am pregnant and surviving the first trimester.
Thank You,

Brandy- yes Im so excited about the whole process
