First time IVF - Started Lupron last Thurs - Would Love some Buddies

[KrissyB]

Lady - Good luck on Friday!! It's coming up super fast now.

I meant to say I love World Market! I don't have one here, but there is one about an hour away. Terri - there is not one near year. I have looked before for my visits to my sister. But you should def check it out if you ever pass one. There is actually one in Myrtle Beach as well.

 

[sars930]

Terri, I love that you asked yourself why you typed it out. I think your decompression plan sounds just like what the doctor ordered. I find a fast run also helps me when I'm furious.

Booger, too funny. I don't have a World Market near me but I subscribe to their emails and always think of them as World Market. A blogger I read referred to them as Cost Plus World Market and I was like what, the what?! And wondered who called it that. hehe

Jen, I would've murdered him. Murdered. So, glad Charli's surgery is on the calendar. I'm sure it'll go great. She's a trooper.

 

[booger76]

Yes, I highly recommend checking out a World Market if you're ever near one. I was introduced to them when I lived near Albuquerque. I'm not kidding when I say that probably half of my home furnishings are from there............... They are pretty similar to a Pier 1 but they also have good food and wine. And their stuff is pretty reasonably priced, especially if you catch a sale.

Jen, I can only imagine your expression when your husband said that!!! Oh man, that's bad (but gave me a good chuckle). Only a little over a month until Charli's surgery! I hope it goes smoothly!

Beagle - Sorry work is so hectic but hopefully that makes the day go faster.

Krissy -How are you feeling??

 

[KrissyB]

All this talk of world market! We have one by us I've been too for delicious international snacks and wine, and I knew they HAD furniture... But the furniture looked so nice I always assumed it was overly pricey! I'll have to go back and take a look now. We're hoping to move next year and upgrade some furniture so I'll definitely keep it in mind

Booger - Feeling pretty good! Still getting occasional cramps but they're dwindling and my boobs are KILLING me (I have to take a few seconds to just breath after taking off my bra until they settle down lol), but other than that not much to report....
Except I ~THINK~ I might have seen a shadow on a HPT today. I took it on a whim and it wasn't FMU, so I'm very excited to see what tomorrow looks like. Maybe I'll tack on a beta test with my blood work on Friday, although my office won't be thrilled to do it so early.

 

[beaglemom]

Krissy - Yay! Good luck testing tomorrow.

 

[terripeachy]

How exciting Krissy!!!

My sister lives near Abq, so maybe at Christmas I can go there and check it out. The website looks like they have a lot of cool stuff.

Sars-I would love to go running but my insides are still a little sore from my retrieval. Maybe tomorrow or Friday I can get a short one in. I'm getting old. I don't heal like I used to. Ha ha.

So today's update (hubs has been getting home earlier than usual every day) is that all three have 8 cells!! They are supposed to have between 6-8 on day three. I'm getting a little more excited with hopes that one will be normal. No update tomorrow but Friday they will biopsy them for PGS and then we wait for the results. Scary mama. Another small success. Small jump in the air.

 

[KrissyB]

Definitely a line there today. It's light, but it's there and definitely pink. Now please be a sticky bean....

 

[booger76]

Hooray, Krissy!! That line better keep getting darker.

Terri - That's great news about your embryos! I'll make a small jump in the air too - I don't want to shake the ground too much.

 

[KrissyB]

Ack, Terri I missed your post!! CONGRATS!!!!! That is AWESOME news about the three making it to 8 cell! And nice and fast too, hopefully that means they're all winners!
FXed and lots of for your PGS!

 

[sars930]

Lots of good news this morning!

Yay! Krissy, that is awesome. Snuggle down and get comfortable baby.

Terri, Duh, that you're sore! That was stupid of me. And wahooo about your little overachievers! That is awesome news. Let's hope they're all strong, healthy embies. Hope you're feeling a bit more zen.

I had the weirdest dream last night where the baby kicked and it stretched out my skin to the point that the leg was out in the air. And I remember thinking how cool this was in my dream. But in retrospect it felt odd. I'm constantly trying to figure out while awake what is what and if baby is finally head down.

 

[beaglemom]

Congrats to Terri & krissy!

sars - I have weird dreams every night...and I have no clue which body part is which. He stays more on the right & my husband googled it & that is a sign of the baby turning downward.

So quick update from me. I don't know if I said, but my feet hurt a lot when I first get up. But over the past few days my left foot feels actually sore & bruised when I walk & flex it...slowly getting worse over the past week. I didn't think anything of it but a friend said it could be a clot. So I told my husband & he googled & freaked out. So I called my dr today insted of waiting for my appt Wed. And they are sending me for an ultrasound. I just got the call so I am waiting for the referral.

 

[terripeachy]

beagle-I hope it's not a clot. How scary. But, I don't know why your foot would be bruised, so maybe blood is starting to pool somewhere. Hopefully they can get you in to the doctor today or early tomorrow.

Krissy-Great news!! I can't wait to see a strong line! I'm going to go back and look for when you said your official date, so I REALLY can't wait for that, but line porn is always fab. Oh yeah, September 04. hee hee.

 

[beaglemom]

The ultrasound tech said she did not see a clot. My foot is not bruised when you look at it...but feels bruised. And now today it looks like my ankle is swollen too. I guess I will wait to see what the dr says.

 

[KrissyB]

Terri - Oh I'm definitely not waiting that long now lol. I already called my clinic and asked if I could get a beta done tomorrow (I was already scheduled to come in for a hormone level check - otherwise I might have waited just a few more days). Last time I waited and tortured myself for a week squinting at HPTs. I want NUMBERS this time Here's today's test though

 

[booger76]

Beagle - Glad there's no clot! Phew. I have read where swelling of the feet and ankles gets to be pretty common late in pregnancy so maybe it's just that? But weird you'd be having pain too. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Krissy - That's an awesome line! Good luck with tomorrow's beta.

sars - Gotta love the weird dreams. And trying to figure out if something was just a dream or if it really happened (like when you first wake up). I hope baby turns for you soon! I keep wondering the same thing - where is she at? I go back to the doctor on Monday and I'm guessing they'll start checking for that kind of thing. It's just weird to feel the movements and not know what's punching/kicking what.

Nothing eventful going on here. I woke up this morning all excited because I thought it was Friday. Bummer. But at least it's almost Friday......I went home for lunch and my dog had drug her bed all around the living room. I often joke with DH that we should set up his game camera so that we can spy on her during the day.

 

[terripeachy]

Krissy-That's not a squinter at all. Yeah!! numbers are always good. Congrats!! Such good news today.

 

[beaglemom]

booger - my husband wants to hook up the baby monitor in the living room to watch the dogs one day. But I am sure they mostly sleep. My dr does not really feel around for anything...just measures my belly. So not sure when they start feeling for positions.

Krissy - great line...just fyi on me, I always had lighter lines on the cheap tests vs frer. So your line looks great for a cheapie.

As for my leg...no call back from my dr. Swelling I wasn't too concerned & actually only noticed last night. It was the pain that worried me as well...and a friend said could be a clot. I haven't had too much swelling all together...but also weird only on the one leg. But they did scan them both to be sure.

Speaking of wishing for Friday, I was kind of hoping my dr would call & say stay off my feet a few days so maybe I could be home from work. But oh well.

 

[Amy1976]

Krissy - Congratulations!! Such great news. So excited for you!!

Terri - I'm so happy for you!! Keep on growing little embryos. Whoo whoo!!

 

[LadySosa]

Hi ladies!

CONGRATS Krissy!! That is wonderful news!

YAY Terri! Good news for you too! I feel good about this time! I am on Crinone vaginal inserts and estradiol 9mg/day (3mg morn, noon, night). Since my fertility treatment coverage ends as of 9/1 I stocked up on all my meds now. Fingers crossed this transfer works cause if it doesn't, I'm out of embryos and fertility insurance! So it will be costly to go again.

Oh, and Booger, I ALSO SAY "Cost Plus World Market!!" Haha. I was laughing so hard reading that. The first time I said it my hubs stared at me like I was crazy. He was like, "You mean, World Market??" Even after I realized the rest of the world (almost) calls it just World Market, its a habit to call it the whole thing. And, I love that place. They have really unique furnishings and its a good place for gifts.

Also, re: your coworkers, DH and I were just talking about this the other day how just minor quirks of coworkers grate on your nerves because we spend so much time with them. Sometimes it seems more time with them than family. Hang in there, you're almost there! A friend told me one time that once you have a kid, work troubles become way less significant and won't bother you as much. I am looking forward to that, haha.

Beagle- sorry about your feet. That sounds horrible. I can't imagine feeling like you have a bruise on the bottom on your feet. I hope its nothing serious.

Sars - haha that also made me laugh about your hubs staring lovingly in your eyes. That is really sweet though. Such a weird dream! I am a firm believer that dreams really are meaningful. Maybe the dream is picking up on your thoughts/worries about baby's movement.

Jen - that is great that Charli has a surgery date set! I bet you will be happy not to have to dilate her little bum anymore!

Jkb - wow girl, you are getting so close! Cant wait for the big news!

Afm, tomorrow is the big day! Two embryos loaded up in me! Then we are off to the condo at the beach for the weekend to relax. Looking forward to that.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
