IVF until we all get our bfp! 2012-present *13 w/twins & 1 w/triplets!*

[AndreaFlorida]

Thanks so much ladies....I'm gonna do an OPK later today since a website I looked at said make sure you take the OPK far from your dosage time....so we'll see what today holds around 2ish...if it shows dark still I'll call and tell them whats going on an they might want to scan me or something....I am crampy but I kinda think its just the gearing up for O....

Hope all of you on the East Coast are staying safe Prayers to you all!

 

[michelle01]

Hope everyone on the east coast is safe!! Be careful!

Mo - Glad that you got AF so you can start! So sorry about your kitty

Hope everyone else is good!

Morning ladies- storm is starting to show her face. Lots of wind and rain. Friends have sent me pictures from the shore and flooding is ridiculous already and Sandy hasn't even hit yet yikes!

Anyone with their BFP experiencing frequent headaches? It's starting to get really annoying. Usually after every meal and lasting for hours. Ugh.

 

[almosthere]

Oh-keep safe jersey ladies!!!

Lindsay-I get headaches but only at 3:30 from switching over to the infant toddler room lol. Sorry to hear you are experiencing them-getting them from being hungry sounds more on target then after eating that is interesting! hope they ease off soon!

Stay safe!!

I usually get headaches in the evening... It's not too strong but lingering for couple hours.. The joys of being pregnant I guess!!

Lindsay the whole time I was pregnant with my youngest my head hurt really really bad!!! I mean to the point of tears...but keep an eye on that because thats a possible indicator of high bp just keep eyes out for that...mine never got high until the very end of my pregnancy though.....I cannot believe my little boogie is almost 4 years old....I miss when he was tiny (thats why I put the pic of him in DH's hands on avatar) lol....Here he is now....he'll be 4 in January!

Also I have a question....

How can you put pics and put spoilers to them??? I keep trying an its just not working....I guess I'm computer illiterate!

I have had bad headaches all during my first tri, and now they have eased up but I still get mild ones. The others were all day everyday and nothing worked on them. They suck!

Awe cute pics! DrS may know why that isn't working you have the spoilers right just need the image address in between.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I attached them....so I'd have to take them down an upload to another website I suppose to use the spoiler....oopsy....I guess I now know how to do it

 

[MoBaby]

I have my lining check schedule nov 8!! Yay! Also spoke to re today about the embryos and thawing 2 for set but he said I have 2 frozen as singles and 2 together so they will that the singles first one at a time!!!

Thanks, Ladies. Yes I agree Lupron sucks big time. I am already having severe hot flashes on a third dose and woke up several times last night. My schedule is something I am entirely unsure, because they will let me know depending on how the follies grow. I have only about 2, one on each ovary, and my doc has put me on the highest dose of follistem (450/day, 225 morning, and eve). My starting fsh was quite high@ 19.9 and E2 was rather low at 9 ; they will have another ultrasound this Wednesday, so I will know better...keeping my fingers crossed and praying ...Your success stories have made me feel better, I was already regretting the whole idea..

Good luck at your scan on Wednesday!

Mo - I am soooo excited you have started!!!!!!! I feel fine....nothing different really.
Sorry about your cat.....putting any pet down is hard.

Polly - Good luck!!

MrsC - Enjoy your time with DH!!!!!!

Lindsay - I am really truly hoping this storm wont be as bad as they say. Irene kicked our ass last year....I lost power for a day and my basement got destroyed. Thank god we bought a generator after that. Are you prepared?

Almost - I forget where in NJ you are from...are you prepared? lol

Jenn - I hope it does not ruin Halloween for the kids this year either. Last year we had an ice storm which was a mess here with down trees and power lines, so they "re-scheduled" Halloween.....like really? Who does that. So most of the kids did not have Halloween last year. Sad.

Honey - LOL love the names! I dont fully believe in symptoms......some people have them and some dont. Last cycle and this cycle my boobs were sore.....last cycle they were sore up until ET, now they started to be sore right before ET and still are. You just dont know. With all the meds us IVF ladies are on, you really cant read into them much. You just dont know until you test I guess.

As for me........Feel the same......night sweats have been going on last few nights....dont know if its related, but weird......andddd......my ass will never be the same......damn you PIO!
Felt like a druggie this AM....I had my nephew overnight and I had to sneak my PIO into my bathroom...doors locked and everything lol
Oh the things we do to have a baby lol

I really hope this is it for you and all the shots will be worth it!

Mo - I am so sorry about your cat, that would not have been easy. Hope you are OK..

Ahhh a storm I hate them, hope you are all safe and it is not to bad.

MrsC - Have a great time away and enjoy

AFM - Its been a long weekend, I have a scan tomorrow morning due to bleeding all weekend, not a period but more than spotting and did not stop until this morning and my next scan was not till week 12 so after some hassle with the hospital I got it all booked.

How did the scan go? Fx everything is ok.

There is a slight chance...he has low morph an motility and I have one small tube an the other side the ovary is attached to fallopian tube an cannot be removed .....we've been trying forever though....but not a cycle of just Femara.....lol

We did about 5 of Clomid an it didnt work on its own, then was sent to the RE off base. He first started me on Femara and the Follistim and then a trigger first cycle, second cycle I overstimmed and had 8 mature follies an they wouldn't trigger.....now after a break after my cycle was cancelled back in July here we go again with another issue LOL....I normally always O on my own he was just thinking if I had more follies to drop I'd have better chances of getting one of them.....we shall see I might call them in the morning and let them know how dark my OPK is tonight....I haven't even taken my dose of Femara yet...I guess I should go run an do that since I normally take it around 6:30 every night an its 6:40! LOL I stopped birth control on past Monday the 22nd...so who knows...but bad news is I'm withdrawel bleeding right now so no BD'ing I'll call tomorrow an see if they want to scan me tomorrow though just in case....but on Friday all my follicles were less than 4 so TINY...

I'm TOTALLY wrong my appt wasn't Friday it was Thursday morning....sooo tomorrow morning will have been 4 days but still to go from 4mm to over 18 in 4 days is almost unheard of I'd think....soooo who knows :\

Fx for you and I hope your cycle won't get cancelled again. I'm glad you are still hanging around.

Ladies who are in the storm please be safe!

[AndreaFlorida]

I'll have to get better pics of my older son on Wednesday for Trick-or-Treating I didn't get one of him in his outfit the other day he was too busy running around LOL he's very hyper and has ADHD ....I figured I'd make them really really cute Wednesday I'm gonna go try to find some yellow tights....all I could find were black ones...but they look OK I suppose! My OPK hasn't changed an I felt cervix so I am assuming I'm not gonna O yet, its closed.... YAY which is a great thing 2 more days and I'll have more answers....

I'm so glad to be back part of this thread I've really missed a LOT of updates....I've often browsed back and seen people get their 's how amazing

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Morning All, I hope you all had nice, relaxing weekends!

How are all of you on the east coast doing with Sandy out there? I know we have a LOT of NJ women on here. Stay safe!

MrsC. . . I hope you have a wonderful mini vacay with your hubby!

Mo. . . I’m so sorry about your kitty! One of my kitties is now 15 and I can’t imagine not having him with me. I was devastated when I lost his sister a few years ago. That’s great news about your embryos! Fingers, toes, and everything else crossed that this is your cycle!

Lindsay. . . I hope you feel better! My friend who doesn’t normally get migraines had them throughout her entire pregnancy.

Andrea. . . Your little guys is adorable! Love his costume!

Polly. . . Good luck on Wednesday!

Two. . . how was your scan?

Prayin. . . I hope you are enjoying getting all settled into y our new house!

Azlissa. . . when is your appointment with your RE? Hopefully everything goes as you want and you can get started again.

Pink, Broody, Jenn, Drs, Want, Almost. . . How are you all feeling?

Honey and Stinas. . . fingers crossed for both of you!!

Bubu. . . Fingers crossed for your transfer!

I’m REALLY sorry if I missed anyone! I am thinking of all of you!

AFM. . . nothing really new to report. I am hoping to hear back from the finance department on a couple questions I have. I am going to use a program called Attain to pay for the DE cycles. You pay a one time fee and have 3 chances with frozen eggs and unlimited frozen embryo transfers from the donor eggs. I don’t know if the fee includes the cost of the eggs though. One sheet says it does, another doesn’t say. I also need to get ahold of them to pay the deposit in order to be able to view the donors. I can see basic profiles but not complete. From what I can see there is one donor I would really like to use. She is 5’2” with red hair and blue eyes. I am 5’1” with red hair and blue eyes. So far she is the only one I can see who has red hair of any kind and for me, that is something I want.

 

[michelle01]

YAY Mobaby!!

MrsC - Hope you enjoyed your vacation
