ANMLZ: You're not really smoking while TTC are you? I don't know anything about that medicine.

Alika-Honey: Congrats

Bubu: I hope everything goes well and that this is the LAST hurdle you need to get over

Jenn-MrsC: Hooray for babies sleeping.

Lindsay: Have a great trip!

Hi everyone!

Not much going on here. Just sick, exhausted and constipated ALL of the time. It's really wearing on me I feel bad when I complain, because I want this more than anything, just didn't think it would be this hard for this long.

Have a great day!
~Angie

Bubu glad you were able to make arrangements do quickly.

Hey Kathy!

 

[anmlz86]

Angie- no no no. Never smoked at all my entire life. Can't say much about the exposure since both of my parents smoke unfortunately. Hate to limit the time I actually get to spend with them. We just call it our smoke break since it seems the actual smokers take a break every hour when we have to sit in one place for hours with no break, boo.

Bubu - Oh man....2013 was a really shitty year for you! I hope it ends on a good note! Good luck with everything!

Kathy - I feel fine....no different really besides sore boobs and butt. lol Whats going on with you? Are you going to do another cycle?

Honey - I have only heard of 3,5, & 6 DT. Good luck!

Angie - Im sure it will calm down eventually!

No news here. Went to endocrinologist today. Luckily it was only an hour and a half total....much better than the usual 3+hrs. He wants to see me every four weeks, so I guess ill just have to get used to it or book the first apt.
This time next week I will know if its one or two and the way things are going! I am nervous. Scared it will happen all over again! Trying not to stress out about it all, but its hard. DH and I were talking yesterday.....its funny how for everyone else its like "oh yay we are pregnant"...and thats it.....us, its a whole process to just get to the pregnant stage, then its another process after that to see if it even works out....its very stressful! Oh well....thats our life I guess...suck it up and live it!

Hi Ladies, just a quick Update! We have 11 blastocysts and transferred one that according to our Doctor looks picture Perfect.

I am resting now and praying for the best!

 

[Stinas]

Allika - Yay! Congrats on being PUPO!!

Hi ladies,
Can I join here? I am beginning the IVF process this month. I am starting BC pills tomorrow twice a day for 10 days. I have residual cysts from last cycle. I have been ttc for 22 months and done 6 iui's. I never got a BFP and we are pretty much unexplained. I am so scared of this, but excited. I was curious have any of you done the BC pills before your IVF?

Congratulations to all of you who have gotten your BFP and had your babies!

Hi I'm doing good....surgery this time was a breeze...they didn't even have to do a d&c...Dr Boher went in and just picked out the remaining placenta...not sure exactly if I had any polyps because my other half couldn't remember what the doc said exactly....he can be a dope sometimes I tell him all the time he is lucky he is cute! hahahaha! Tomorrow I have my appointment with Dr. Morris and she will go over the results of the surgery and give me my next steps....I am done with my birth control pills on Saturday so I'm wondering if they are going to wait for my third day and I will begin the entire process again. hopefully that is what happens because I would then have about 10-12 days of stimming and hopefully an awesome number at ER!!!

I understand exactly how you feel I am so scared this time around!!! The anxiety is killing me this time because I try to be strong on the outside while on the inside I'm a complete mess...we can only pray and try to be stress free...easier said than done but we have to move forward You will be perfect this time around...I have complete faith

Welcome Chris! And to answer your question, yes to the bcp before ivf. Pretty much everyone is placed on bcp for ivf because it helps them to control your cycle. And at the dosage you're on it, it seems they want to try to get rid of those cysts. Hope that helps hun

Allika- again, congrats and good luck!

Hope everyone is having a good day!!

Hi Chris!! WELCOME!!!! You joined an awesome group of ladies!!!!!! I have always done BC pills before stating the entire process....it's more for them to know what exact days your on so they can plan everything perfectly.

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Congrats on being pupo Allika!!!!


Hi Lindsay!!!! miss ya!!

 

[Stinas]

Chris - Welcome!!! This is an amazing thread!!! Tons of great people! I did BCP's before every cycle....I think its pretty common....they do it in order to keep your hormones at a certain level before starting stimming. Good luck!

Kathy - Thank you for having hope! It is hard not to be scared...but I still just wish it was easy.
So your pretty close in starting! Yay!!! Good luck with everything! and all men dont have a brain when it comes to remembering things! I literally have to put the laundry basket in front of the stairs in order for dh to bring it downstairs....and let me tell you, on a normal day, he just pushes it aside to get through lol I enjoy milking the whole pregnancy cant pick heavy things up thing.

Thanks Michelle. Nothing much really, just an increase on my starting dose and change of the FSH. Last time I started with 150iu of menopur this time it's 225iu of follitism. Follie check is on Monday.
