[fertilesoul]

Congrats Dr. Squid for 12 mature eggs. You are getting closer and closer

 

[L4hope]

Drsquid 12 eggs is great! I hope you get most of them fertilized!!

Babyonmyown, that's great you are getting everything started. I'm actually moving on to ivf too. It looks like we might be on a similar schedule. I have day 3scan and bloodwork tomorrow, should start bcp Saturday, and sonohystagram next wednesday. I don't know about you, but my head is spinning!!

 

[notoptimistic]

drsquid - looking forward to hearing how many of your eggs fertilized! This is so exciting.

Without a doubt my head is spinning!! I am a little overwhelmed at this point! It will be nice to have you going through it at the same time!

UGH, just got off the phone with the RE's office. They don't have any available Dr's to do my Hysteroscopy next week (too many on Vacay) so now I am waiting for a call back from the nurse. I am terrified they are going to say I have to wait a cycle which will drive me nuts because that would put me in going back to school time (I'm a teacher). I can't miss a lot of school at that time of year for different appointments.

oy what a morning.. got a text from the news saying that transbay bart is shut down due to a fire.. so i got up at 6:15 to drive to the city for a 9am court time.. only to get a call from the lawyer at 7 saying i didnt have to be at court til 1 pm. bart is still closed and there is a giants game at 12:45. im thinking about leaving 2 hrs early... sigh he coulnt have called last night... im actualy feeling ok today.. a bit bloaty but not too bad. mild crampy. got a call from my doc.. 11 fertilized.. i said, ok that is good, he was like.. no that is fantastic. he is actually happy.. i made a joke about not counting my embryos til they hatch at which point he started going on about blasts, and i had to tell him i was joking..

 

[daydream]

drsquid - I forgot you were up in the bay area! I saw all the stuff about BART on the news and am so glad I work in the south bay and didn't have to deal with it. I hope it all gets cleared up soon so you don't have to deal with too much traffic and hassle.

 

[drsquid]

daydream- im just glad it wasnt yesterday!!!

We can freak out about all of this together. I can't believe they would let too many doctors off at the same time. I would be so mad if that happened at my office. I hope they find a way to fit you in!! I'm a teacher too so I completely understand about timing and right mow is the best timing for us! Let me know how you make out...fingers crossed!

Wow, 11 fertilized?! That's awesome!!! I'm sorry about the BART stuff, my best friend lives in San Fran and I heard about it from him.

I can't believe they do either! I am getting annoyed that I haven't heard back from them yet too. I know they have a ton of patients, but I want to know what to do. If they can't fit me in, I want to know if I can go somewhere else or something.

What grade do you teach? I teach second grade and we get out of school on Tuesday. I am BEYOND ready to be done for the year!

 

[L4hope]

I say if they don't get back to you in the next couple hours call back and see what's going on. With all the money we are paying for this, they can handle it!

Second grade is a fun age! I am a hearing itinerant so I see kiddos from K-12th grade. Admittedly the little one are my favorite. I feel you on be ready for summer break! The kids just get wild and turned off. I was done on the 4th and have been trying to relax and get my house good and clean!

I called again and the nurse said they are going to find a way to work me in. I should hear back by the end of today but if not then I will call back again. )

[AMP26]

11 fertilized?!?! that is awesome news!!!!! Grow babies grow!!

As for fertility clinics, I bug mine constantly... I figure they're used to us crazy ladies, so I never feel bad about it! I called my doctor about 6 times the other day trying to figure everything out with my meds! I was so worried about the cost and it wound up being a 1/4 of what I thought it would be... Lol!! I'm on my third day of Gonal F & I go in for a scan tomorrow so I'm excited to see what's growing in there!

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

LoL AMP,

I do a lot of e-mailing the nurse because I can't call during the day (I have my second grade students with me). Luckily I didn't have to bug them again, they called and scheduled both the Sounding and the Hysteroscopy (sp) for Thursday morning. Has anyone had either of those things? What should I expect? I have to talk to them when I go in next week about cost. I don't know what everything will cost me.

 

[daydream]

AMP - Yay! How has the gonal f been treating you? I can't wait to hear how your scan goes.

Chiles - Yay for a raspberry! You'll be out of first tri before you know it.

I used to bug our RE's office all the time. And even after being pregnant, I had so many questions and was calling all the time. They're really nice, so thankfully they don't mind.

If I am lucky I may be able to find out the end of next month or for sure early august of whats inside of me!

 

[L4hope]

Babyonmyown, so glad to hear they are going to fit you in next week! I have my sonohystogram next wed. I'm hoping it won't be too bad. I've seen mixed reviews on pain and cramping from it.

Amp it's such a relief when something costs less than you think! We were freaking out initially with doing iui but then my insurance ended up covering the "male" part of it. I was so excited!!

Chilis, wow you I can't believe you are at 8 weeks already..so exciting!
