AGP The Society of RSSBD

Welcome to the room of RSSBD! There is not a single spot of this thread that is not covered in RSSBD! So sit down, roll around, sneak some RSSBD in your pockets...do whatever it takes! The sisters of the AGP never give up!

[kele1129]

Well today is a bit better and also it is farmer's market day! Which means nice fresh greens and a helping of chicken curry on coconut rice! YUMMY! Then back home where Chris and I have hot and heavy plans....yeah right...we are cleaning out the basement...ugh. But hopefully we will come up with a huge pile of stuff to sell on Saturday at our yard sale. Oh and Monday I will get a new belly pic up...hopefully

How is everyone? Tell me some wonderful stories over the next few days ladies. I think we need some positive vibes.

Krista-Can I bother you to put together one of your amazing lists of where everyone is in their cycles? I myself am almost at 15 weeks (Mondays are my week changes)

Glenda-How's the tummy?

Juana-Are you feeling any better?

Sam-I have a wonderful new spicy tangy marinade for salmon, it is my new fave.

Argh...DH is ready to go now so you know what that means...it is time to go!

My love to you all! and of course...

*pulls out a secret stash of RSSBD and sprinkles all my sisters with it*

Greetings Cyber Sis-STARS. Kele, love the new thread...

I am not feeling so well. I had a terrible evening. TMI ALERT!!!

Last night around 9pm I started cramping really bad and when I got up, I started feeling something run down my leg, well needless o say, it was blood. I went to the rest room to cleanup and change undes, when I felt the pressure to urinate. When I sat on the toliet, I felt someting slide out..it was the biggest clot I have ever passed. Needless to say, I freaked out...I called Michael, he was hanging out with some friends, and he came home. We were going to go to the ER because I was cramping, but then they eased up and I had my OB/GYN doc paged. He called me back and told me not to worry unless the bleeding was heavy and the cramps became unbearable. He told me that it is quite normal to experience cramping and bleeding during pregnancy, even clotting. He told me to just relax and rest for the next few days and keep my appoint for Tuesday with my RE and to call if the pain became unbearable or te bleeding was extreme. I can't even tell you all how frightened I was, I couldn't stop crying. I haven't had any more bleeding and my cramps have been very minor. I am praying so hard that everything will be alright on Tuesday..

Sooo today, I am a couch potato! I went to the hair salon this morning and that's it. I still can't keep anything down much. I just made a delicious grilled cheese sandwich and toss it right back up...my Dh is mad because I won't eat, but that's not it at all, I try to eat, but it won't stay down. He told me to just eat a little bit...he is a caring man, but he just doesn't get it...I WANT TO EAT!!! I LOVE TO EAT...LOL...Food just won't stay down...and to make maters worse, I can no longer stomach my favorite food...FRIED CHICKEN!! That just upsets me more than anything..LOL..okay enough about me..

Glenda, thanks for the extra prayers. I really appreciate it!!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers...

Chat later...

[Asking4aMiracle]

OH JUANA I AM SO SORRY!! i know how scary it is TRUST me.......everything will be ok, and i know this is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack type thing but PLEASE DONT freak out!! stay calm, the baby feels every thing you feel, the calmer you are the baby knows and the more you believe that baby is ok, it will be ok. we are all here for you, we love you and your little one and like i said, i know how scary it is and just to give you a heads up, it doesnt go away. im just over 17 weeks and still scared to death that something is not right. even after a great dr visit, its still scary!! you will be ok!!! *hugs* just rest and relax and talk to that little one in there!!

[Juana824]

[Savanha]

Just saw the update.

Tij: I ditto what Amberlee said...I know it isn't easy, but do try as best you can to relax. I want to share this with you...not sure if you've read it before...I know I shared it w/Helen. Anyways, when my mom was preggers w/my sister...she cramped really bad...went to the bathroom & also lost a Clot...she said it was sooooo HUGE she called my Dad & went to ER(they told her to bring the clot in...that is how HUGE it was)-Wow...talk about TIM-sorry all. At any rate...she just lost a clot & my baby sister was born just fine...no problems @ all & easy delivery. So...I hope although a very tmi story it helps to calm you a little. ;o) The resting relaxing is a great idea. Oh yeah...my bff also bled and was so upset...think it was for a couple days, but the doc told her it was alright and she stopped after those 2 days, but spotted every now & then there after. She had her baby girl w/o anes or anything in 2 hrs. ;o) Feel better Lovey...here's a biG Ole' smackeroo sloppy cheek kiss to ya & a giNormOus ((((((HuG))))) to ya. ;o)

Amberlee: I ditto what Tij said...we want to see belly pics. ;o)

Savanha~~

[Juana824]

Thanks Savanah !!!

[kp1212]

Here you go Kele!  Please correct if needed!  

The oldies, but goodies…
Miky- starts Lupron on 8/31, stims on 9/10 (Miky, where have you been hiding? Miss you!)
Rgh-transfer in October?
Magda-FET next cycle
Jen-should be right around retrieval/transfer (Jen..where are you?!)
Savanah-having a BD par-tay with DH for next couple of days, o’d day 22 (9-6)
Sally-begins stims in ~1 week!!!
Sam-day 6 (I think) of stims, making lots of follies (15 so far)!
Krista- trigger shot Sunday 9-7, retrieval on Tues. 9-9 (I pray!)
Latrice-CD19, doing a natural cycle
FaithNHim-recovering from tubal reversal (haven’t seen her around in a while!)
Wanting4-beta was on Wednesday 8-20 (haven’t heard the results!)
Hoping4_2 (Jenea)-???
Evie-CD10, doing clomid and IUI

And of course, our success stories…
Helen-preggo (~21 weeks)
Heather-preggo with Henry and Cadence (~32 weeks)
Kari-preggo with triplets (~17 weeks)
Kele-preggo (~14 5/7weeks); master of the RSSBD!
Amberlee-preggo (~17 weeks)
Anxious2-preggo with twins (13 weeks)
Glenda- preggo (~7 weeks)
Tijuana-preggo (6 4/7 weeks)!!!!!
Ascott-preggo (5 weeks)  

Tijuana,  I'm sorry you had such a had night!  Try try TRY to relax (yes, I know, easier said than done).  You are strong, and your baby is strong as well.  Focus on growing little junior!!!  xoxo!

Glenda, great news!  The ms sounds awful though.

AFM, I had another monitor appt. this morning.  The follies on the left are now at 21, 15, 13.5 and 11.  The right follie is only 8.  Lining is at 14.5.  E2 has plateued at 523.  The RE just called me.  We decided to push one more day of stims and try to grow the smaller follicles, then trigger would be Sunday and ER on Tuesday.  If the follicles are no more mature tomorrow, then we will trigger on Sunday and do IUI on Monday and Tuesday.  Of course there is a risk to push the meds one more day, especially since the E2 isn't rising.  My body/ovaries may very well be saying "no more" and will stop responding, and then we could lose the one mature follicle that we have.  Bottom line is that the odds aren't good any way you look at it (RE said ~10-15% for IUI and maybe 20% for IVF).  Not good odds, but they are better odds than if I did nothing!

So, again I ask my girls to keep their fingers and toes crossed, say some prayers and send lots and lots of RSSSSSBD my way!!!

Love you all!!

Krista

[Helen72]

Juana,
as you know, I was bleeding and passing clots for weeks and that did not affect my baby.  I know how stressful seeing red is but I pray that your baby is doing well and growing.  

Krista,
I hope those smaller follies get their act together and mature!!!

Savanha,
good luck to you this cycle!  Are you doing IUI or trying naturally?

[Savanha]

Helen: I'm doing natural this cycle...if no BFP, then IUI. We really didn't have a choice this time due to cycle starting ultra late, etc. So...we will see. Thanks for the encouragment. ;o)

Krista: I'm praying that all will go well and that the one follie won't get bigger then the others. I hope you'll still do a  IUI if so. 'o) Either way...I got it all crossed, but my knees are what I'm counting on. ;o)

Thanks so much for the update.

Anyone in touch with Sal?

Savanha~~

[kp1212]

Yeah, I heard from ol' Sal earlier today.  She lurking around here somewhere!

K

[evie23]

Hello ladies.  Juana just take it easy and try to relax, i'm praying that everything is all good. I hope everyone is doing well. I have a question i am doing clomid day 5-9 but now my sides are very tender. Is that normal?

[kele1129]

Juana- Hang in there girly, that baby knows that it is safe right where it is and won't go anywhere!

Krista- Thanks ever so much for the update, way to make sure we actually look like we TTC around this here thread! *sneaks Krista special follie growing cocktail made especially to give follie an added 'oomph'*

Ugh we have been shoving things in boxes for the yard sale for 7 hours now....I can't begin to explain what packrats DH and I are. But we are getting rid of so much stuff...yay! I have been having to take breaks through out the day bit feel ok really.

Loves an' hugs.

[Glenda306]

Kele--I was pretty sick yesterday, but I've felt better today and now I'm worried because I AM feeling a little better.

Juana--You are still in my prayers.

[kp1212]

Hey!  Where is everybody?!?

Had my last monitor appt today... 4 follicles on the left (21.5, 17.5, 14 and 11) and 1 on the right (8).  Unless the bloodwork comes back today showing my E2 has dropped, then we are going to retrieval my friends!  Trigger tonight (sunday) and ER on Tuesday.  I don't have alot of follicles/eggies to work with, but it only takes one right?!?

I AM SOOOO NERVOUS!  This is my first retrieval!!!

Happy Sunday...today God is resting, but tomorrow and Tuesday he needs to get back to work because I need his help!!!!  :-)

[kele1129]

Krista- I am so happy for you that they are going for the retrieval. I found that after both of mine that I wanted to stay in bed for retrieval day and the day after. And yes it only takes one embie my friend!

Don't be nervous, you know the drill around the AGP, we will be nervous for you and you get to be the excited one!

*hands Krista one last super enriched RSSBD milkshake...with whipped cream and a cherry* Drink that and all will be well. (((((HUGS)))))

Glenda-Don't you be nervous either. I was sick once in the first trimester and that was due to waiting to long to eat so when I did....you get the picture. I just suffered from nausea and these forsaken headaches. So be happy that you are not sick daily...I'm sure Amberlee would trade in a heartbeat. ^_^

Girls I think I might have to break and get a few tops and maybe a pair of jeans...I am feeling so sausaged into my clothes right now. But the good news is that I have a completely free ride for school this year! I recieved enough grants so that I don't have to pay anything (^_^) That is me looking pleased. I am so grateful that I cried when I got the last grant letter.  Maybe the state will follow suit and help with insurance this week. Only 3 more weeks to wait to find out (hopefully) what flavor baby we are growing here....Well back to yard sale packing.

loves and hugs
Kele

[magda_s]

Krista, I'm SO happy for you that you get to do the retrieval.  And there's nothing to it... honest.  My first one was utter bliss because they used some really cool anasthetic.  Sadly the second one was nasty because they used a really nasty anasthetic but that's Syria for you. It's probably the only country left in the world that still uses that kind!!
Have everything crossed for good bloowork results.

Kele, congrats on the grants.  That's brilliant!!
Can't wait to hear if it's a boy or a girl!!!!!!

As for me, I just had my last neuro appointment and it went real well.  I was actually getting rather worried and depressed over the last couple of days because there were a few things I thought were really bad signs but he batted each one right out of the field and has just about convinced me to put this attack behind me and return to life as normal.  Given a few days, i'm sure I'll get there.  It's just been a bit exhausting.

Hugs to all

[kp1212]

Kele, That's great news about the grants!!!  Yippe!!  Must be a load off your mind.  I hate to be stingy, but does that have to be the last serving of RSSSBD for me?  I still have quite a few hurdles to jump!  ;-)

Magda, Glad you are hanging in there with the stupid neuro stuff.  What a royal pain in the arss!  And I can't wait for your FET...I have a good feeling for you!!!  

Thanks for the support girlies!  I am quickly heading (aka plunging) into neurotic/nervous mode!!!  

[wanting4#1]

Hi Everyone!  I am sure that I have missed a ton (heck, I don't even recognize most of the names that are posting right now!)  I know that there is no way to catch up, so I'll just start fresh and hope that I catch most of you!! :)


Juana - I am so sorry that you are experiencing this, but I agree with all that relaxing and taking your mind off is the best thing that you can do!  The last I checked your numbers were out of this world - any idea how many babies you have in there?  Thanks for the nice note welcoming me back, too!

Krista - good luck with the retrieval! Plan on resting and getting spoiled afterwards - that's what my DH did! :)  Also, for your update, I didn't get beta last month - AF showed and now I am on CD17 and I have either O'd or will any minute!

Kele - It's nice to have things come together, isn't it?  I would love to be able to go back to school and finish my degree in Interpreting, but it's not in the cards for me! I have a great deal of admiration for people like you, so keep it up! :)

Magda - I hope that this is 'the' cycle for you.  You deserve a break from all that you have had to put up with!

Savanha - I'm also doing natural cycles now, so I hope that we both get our BFPs this month!

Helen - glad to hear that things are going so well in your pregnancy now!  That's a place I hope to be very soon!

AFM, vacation was wonderful!  I didn't want to come home....I was made to live in the hot weather and DH is not, so here we are; stuck in boring ol' Columbus! Ick!  But it was really nice taking a break from all of this 'mental' stuff with ttc!  We were just together and laughing (heck, I didn't even know what CD I was on until I just looked!)  Hopefully, this will be the month for us, but I know that if not this month, soon and that's really helped ease my anxiety about the whole thing!

TTFN! :)

[Juana824]

Lisa - Thanks and your welcome. They are not sure since they cannot detect a fetal pole. I will know more on Tuesday.

Magda - Get some rest...you have had quite some trying days this week! HOpe everything is smooth sailing from here on out!

Krista - Still rooting for ya lady! I am sure things will work out just fine!!

Where is Alaska Sam??? She has been MIA this weekend! Sally too...

AFM - I am still sick as ever. I pray that this is still a sign of good things to come. I am tired and really hate that my vacationis over and it's back to work I go!!

Oh yea, Kele...Congrats on your grants! That's awesome!!

Well I think my dinner is trying to make a return...I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Peace Love and Baby Dust to All!!

Tijuana

[blessedmomof3]

Hey ladies,

Sorry I haven't been around much, jsut was so devistated when AF arrived. but I'm better now and back for more!!!!!! I'm 9DPO and not sure if I should even try this month. I mean they do say that it is a waste of time for us. DH got another SA done last week and I am real confused about the results, so we are going to see a specialist his GP is recomending. Hopefuly they can shed some light for us. I'm hoping it's good. From the way I read it, it looks as though we have a 50/50 chance, but I'm afraid to get my hopes up again. Count is good, and motility doesn't look too bad. Any opinions are welcomed.

Volume 2
Count 123,500,000
Appearance Grey/Trans
Viscosity Increased
WBC 6-10
Motile 80%
Forward Motile Grade 4+
Normal Sperm 56%
Neck 10%
Tail 4%

[kp1212]

Hoping, I'm certainly no expert, but the SA looks good to me!  My DH has had a couple, with much less positive results.  His motility is only 15%!  Good luck!!

Wanting, Sorry about the beast AF.  We'll keep our fingers crossed that this is the month!

AFM...I JUST GOT MY TRIGGER SHOT!!!

WOO HOO!!!  Never thought I would be so excited about getting a huge ol' needle stuck in my bootie, but WHOOP!  There it is!

Appt for retrieval is 7:00 am on Tuesday!

[Helen72]

Hoping 4_2,
with over 123 mln count your dh must be a superman  :)

Krista,
I am so excited you made it to retrieval this time.  Hoping for a few good embryos for you!!

Juana,
I hope you and your baby are doing well.

Kele,
congrats on getting grant money!  Collge is so difficult to afford these days.  I guess it's time for you to start buying prego cloth.  The good news is that regular cloth these days looks just like prego cloth.

wanting,
good luck to you next cycle!

[Jen7900]

Hi All,

I had retrieval today! Had 10 eggs retrieved and should get the report on how many fertilized tomorrow morning, so will keep you posted. Transfer is on Wednesday, so cross your fingers for good news!

Krista - SO excited for you! Good luck on Tuesday!

Juana and Savanha - thank you for the notes...I apologize for not responding sooner. Today was so tiring and I haven't read through all of the posts yet to catch up! Will do some "homework" tomorrow and be back!

[blessedmomof3]

10 is good. I got 10 my first IVF and got BFP. Are they going to call everyday with a report? Keep us posted.

[sasparilla]

Morning everyone!!!

Krista.. So happy for you, my friend!  Finally, a frikkin trigger.. Yoiu deserve a giant gold star and a BFP for your diligence. I am beside myself with excitement for you!

Jen.. Yah to retreival!!!  How many are you going to transfer? And will it be a 3dt or a 5 dt?  Gimme the details!

Magda.. I hope your IV therapy has made you feerl better, just in time for your FET.

Hoping.. Your SA looks good.. that's a whole bunch of swiimers.

Juana.. When's your next U/S.  I hope everything goes well. thinking of you..

Wanting.. Glad you had a nice vacation.  I am so jealous  :)

Savahna.. Hope you have fun going "au naturelle" this month.  Thank goodness you are Oing.  Darn eggie sure took its time, huh?

[blessedmomof3]

I hope the urologist says the same thing. The thing that has me confused is my RE said we could not get PG naturaly becuase he has clumping issues. But from the SA I see where the clumping issue is, but it doesn't seem to be effcting the swimming too much. I hope the uroloigist will do a more in depth SA to see just what precent are clumping. Maybe it's improved??? I don't know. We will see.

[alaskacouple]

GOOD MORNIN' MY SISTAS'!!

Sorry I have been mia (didn't anyone tell you Sal and I were having a pool party?) JK!
It was a very busy weekend..... some of you know that a very good friend of ours will be heading off to GA Saturday the 13th, for his month of training before going to Afghanistan.... so the four of us 'partied' all weekend - with me being the DD. Yep, what fun, watching dh and his best friend, and my gf drinking in front of me....yippee.... That was friday night, and we were up till 3am playing poker. Saturday was a dh and me day.... sleeping in,,,,vegging on the couch together and watching movies and eatin popcorn.... then Sunday was our friends official going away party....lots of people.... lots of football..... lots and lots of food...... and of course...... lots of alcohol.  That party started at noon and was still in full swing when we left at 10:30 (some of us had to work today!)

I am CD10 of meds, and waiting for RE to call on results from u/s.... thinking I will start Ganirelix today.... again 15 follies and all are measuring 13-14..... YIPPEE!

Tijuana - sending you lots of hugs and tons of prayers!!!  {{{ XOXOXO }}}

Krista - YEAH on the trigger and retrieval!!  GO GF!!

Jen - wow 10 eggs!  I hope I get that many! ...... FERTILIZE baby!!!!

Need to do some work.... will catch up more later......

Love to all!!!!

Sam :-))  T.T.F.N.

[wanting4#1]

Jen - congrats on the 10 eggs!  That's great - keep us posted on the fert. report!!

Krista - you go, girl!  I know what you mean about getting excited over getting a shot.  When I stopped using meds and started trying naturally, I felt like I wasn't doing enough!  At least with the shots, I felt like I was ACTIVELY assisting the process...now, it's all 'la-ti-da! la-ti-da!'

Juana - I hope you start feeling better! I've heard that B-6 (I think) can help with morning sickness....

Sam - still praying for your friend's safe return and your numbers look promising as well!  I've posted an IVF prayer that I wrote in my journal, if anyone is interested! I still say it every time I pray because it really 'fits' so many of us! :)

Hoping - sorry, but I know NOTHING about SA!  I'm surprised that I don't obsess more over it, but I guess I know that I can't control it or DH's behavior either, so I don't concern myself with his numbers too much! (Other than to know that the docs weren't concerned about his boys!)

I hope I didn't overlook anyone (where's Miky? Anyone?)....will check in later!

Ciao!

[alaskacouple]

Yahoo!!!

Just as I thought.... RE called,,, have to administor Ganirelix ASAP (good thing I threw it in my purse this am.).... have to do another u/s tomorrow evening, and then probably trigger shot Wednesday am for retrieval on 9/11 in the afternoon.....

15 follies.... 9 on right and 6 on left (where the cyst is).....

Also, RE said he can drain the cyst after retrieving eggs..... hmmmm.... anyone ever done that?  It is an endometrioma cyst....

[Juana824]

Hey Y'all!!

Just dropped by to show some "quick love" to my sis-STARS...

I will log on a little later...I'm so drained...emotionally and physically!!

Love to all ..Sam and Krista...I am praying that all goes well for you all this week!!

[Helen72]

Sam,
I have everything crossed for you this cycle.  I soooo much hopes thsi works!!!!!  
My friend fyrefly had her cyst drained before she started ivf and she told me it was really painful.  But since you'll be out of it, I think that you will be OK.  
p.s. I posted an update on HeathJo on pregnancy 35+ forum;  I saw you were asking about her.  We talk every few days.

Krista,
good luck to you tomorrow!!!  I am so glad you made it to retrieval.

[sasparilla]

G/L on your ultrasound tomottow Juana!  What time is it?  Please post when you can.

Congrats on your super follies, Sam!  I use Cetrotide instead of Ganireliex, does your Gan hurt?  My cetrotide is a stinger! Oh.. and totally take advantage of being out, for them to get to that cyst!

And as always, Krista, my home fry.. tomorrow is the big day!!!  C'mon eggies, be there for Mommy! or as Tim Gunn would say "Make it work!" <--- project runway reference, if you don't watch

[Savanha]

Hey Ladies...

Checking On My GurrrrrlZ...

Lisa: I totally agree with you about that feeling ..."like you aren't doing enough when meds/injections aren't involved." ;o) It's you, me & Sal au natural this month. Also, I dropped Miky a pm, but haven't heard anything. Here's special "us natural cycle gurls need all the help we can get since we aren't being stuck... Oh wait...I forgot to add w/needles (ha) help we can get" RSSBD. Now...if you laugh...cover up that special area, cause that is were MOST of that dust will fall...It just KNOWS where to land & get snuggly. ;o)

Now...above all, try not to worry...just enjoy the RIDE. ;o) Make sure you at least have d/h post that you are doing great & what "OUR" results are. ;o) Make sure you take a LONG RSSSsssssBD shower tonight before bed & don't go drying in the cracks & whatNOT...gurrrrrrl...you gon need ALL that. (ha) xoxoxo

Kele: Congrats on the school coverage! YaY That is Fantastic! I hope that is a sign of things to come so that those "other" worries can get gone. ;o) I hope your yard sale prep is over and that when you have it, you all get boat loads of dinero! ;o) Ooooowe...happy baby mamma clothes shopping and don' t forget, you can rubber band a pair of pants til the seam bust. ;o) Can't wait to hear our baby news. Let's see, I felt Helen was having a girl and she is...YOu, I feel it's a boy & Amberlee a girl. Interested in seeing how close I get. ;o)

[Jen7900]

You ladies are so wonderful...truly supers SiSTARS!!

Here's the update...
Great news! 9 of the 10 eggs were fertilized!! We are doing a 3dT, so Wed morning I go back in. For now, we just wait, and wait, and wait. RE said he wants to transfer at least 3, but DH and I are pushing for 4-5; mostly because we are seriously running low on funding for this process.

Savanha - 10?? GIRRRLLLL...you are trippin! But I love your notes and posts...they always make me smile :)

Thank you again for all the support. I will keep you posted as I know anything!

XOXO

[anxious2]

Good luck today Juana, I know you will be getting good news.

[sasparilla]

Hi Ladies.. Just heard from Krista..

They got 3 eggies at ER!!!  She mentioned one was ruptured, which I'm thinking that means it had already been released at ER.. not sure though.  She's on her way home and is all f*** up from the anesthesia.

Here's a giant prayer to the goddess of fertility for Krista!

[kele1129]

I'm glad Krista got some eggs! *blows some RSSBD in Krista's direction*

Juana- I was thinking of you all through my morning class....everything will be fine.

[blessedmomof3]

YEA for Krista!!!!

[Asking4aMiracle]

Savanha~~

[Juana824]

Hello ladies.

I am sorry to report that I have been sent home to wait to miscarry my baby. I am so numb, I don't know what to do. I can't even cry.

[alaskacouple]

T- sweety, I am so sorry!

Words cannot express how sad I am for you and dh.... I wish I could take away your pain an sorrow......

Please know that we are here for you, anytime....

sending you so many  {{{ HUGS }}}}

[sasparilla]

Oh T.. I am so very very sorry.. words just can't express how sad I am for you and your husband. Are they sure?? Like 1 million times sure????
Please please use us all here as shoulders to lean on if you need us.. we love you so much T.  

[Asking4aMiracle]

OH MY GOD JUANA, i dont know what to say!!! i hope and PRAY they are WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is not right!! im heartbroken, i have goosebumps all over and tears down my cheeks, i am SO sorry. i wish i could comfort you right now although you probably want to be alone! i cant believe this is happening. its seems so not real. i am terribly sorry sweetheart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know my words arent much right now, i hope someone else can say something more meaningful.....im in shock for you!! im here if you need to let it out!!!!

[Juana824]

Thank you all. They saw a yolk sac but still no fetal pole or heartbeat. Now the tears are flowing. I don't know what to do right now, I want to scream. My heart is breaking. I am trying to remain positive and praying that the doctors are wrong, but its so hard. I have to go back in three weeks, if I haven't miscarried, they will do another u/s and schedule a D&C.

Love you all!!

[sasparilla]

Sam. you and I were posting at the same time.


T... I have a little story.. maybe it will bring you some hope:

I was in a buddy group on another site for my last IVF.  There was a girl named Gin in my BG with me.  She had the exact same thing happen to you.. 3 U/S's and no H/B, fetal pole, etc...  So, they told her to stop her meds (actually they told her this after her 1st U/S) and refused to prescribe more.  She was told she would miscarry on her own.  Well, about 8 weeks into it, she still had not miscarried.. so they wanted surgery for her.  She went in for her procedure and while she was actually on the table they did one last U/S (she was almost 9 weeks at the time) and lo and behold.. there by the grace of God was a baby.. heartbeat, fetal pole and all the proper things.  She was measuring a little over a week behind, but it was viable!  She is still pregnant and  around 16 weeks now and everything is on track.

[Juana824]

Thanks Sal, it does bring me hope. The thing that really pissed me off was the RE. I was trying to ask him a question and he just cut me off. I was so pissed I shut down and stopped listening to him, he even had the nerve to say, I just know these things, I have been doing this a long time!!! I told DH. I AM READY TO LEAVE!! RE saw I was upset and stopped talking. I am praying so hard that he is wrong. He couldn't really tell me how many weeks I am,...I am at a loss for words right now...

[blessedmomof3]

T-

I am so truely sorry. What a jerk!!!! I realy hope they are wrong. I have read lots of stories where the baby develops late and turns out to be a healthy viable pregnancy. I will ben praying that is your case.

[Glenda306]

Juana--God is in control--not the doctors.  I have been there twice and I can relate to your pain.  I am sooooo sorry.  If you need to talk, I'm here.

[kele1129]

T-I refuse to believe it is a "loss" until nature makes it known. Please have faith that there is still a chance. We love ya Juana and will be here for you every step of the way.

[GUESITO]

You will be surprised how many Dr's send patients home to miscarry and it never happens.... They can be wrong!  

Give it some time and I know is hard but try to stay positive for your babies sake. Don't let the anxiety and anger get the best of you.


I wish you the best leave it in god's hands and Im sure it will all be Ok.

Pray, Pray, Pray


(((((((Big Hugs))))))

[kp1212]

Hi Tijuana,
Oh lovey, I am so sad for you.  Like Amberlee, I have goosebumps and tears right now too.  I wish I could say something deep and meaningful, but alas, I'm fresh out of words.  Really and truly I am sorry you are going through this.  I'm with Sal and the rest of the girls...DON'T GIVE UP!!!  We are all sending prayers on your, Michael and the little bean's behalf.  

Thanks Sal for posting for me.  They got 3 eggs from the 3 follies but said one was "ruptured" or "fractured" or something along those lines.  I was pretty out of it so I don't remember.  They did say the 2 left are good and mature, so hopefully they are doing the horizontal mambo with DH's swimmers right now in the petri dish.  I'll post a fert report tomorrow.  In the meantime, I am resting and taking it easy.  Actually I feel fine...no pain or discomfort (shhh...I'm milking this for all it's worth!).  

Again, Ti, I am thinking of you.  We do love you sis-STAR!  Don't forget it!

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers!  I love you guys!

Krista

[ascott]

Juana: I am so sorry. Please don't give up. I know this is easier said than done, but try to think of all the stories you have heard or maybe read about wrong diagnosis. Are you feeling any cramping? Did they do any bloodwork today to see if your levels are going back up. Sometimes these Dr.s think they are GOD. Or they forget we have a GOD. I know you are broken right now. I don't know what I would do if I was in your spot, or if I get there. All of us are just a U/S away from feeling as you do. So please know we love you and are here for you.

[Juana824]

Thank you all,  I am not giving up, I just got knocked off my square today, but I am right back up.

On my profile page in my photos there is a picture of a four year old little boy, he is my heart!! when his mom was pregnant, she was bleeding so she went to the ER. After an ultrasound, they told her nothing was there and she should go home and rest and prepare for a miscarriage. Needless to say, that didn't happen. Yes, I received some bad news today and was numb for a minute, but I am all good! I am keeping the faith and remaining prayerful that what God has for me, it is for me!!!

Love you all!!

[Asking4aMiracle]

i LOVE seeing how strong you are, it makes me feel so good!! there are a lot of strong women here (so many of you still going on after failed IVFs, miscariages, unexplained infertility, stupid REs and Nurses, pregnant friends and stepdaughters) it really is amazing to be apart of such a diverse and STRONG group of women!!! i love you all so much and i am proud to be an AGPer!!!!!!

*GROUP HUG*

[evie23]

TI I am so sorry to hear that you got bad news. Sorry i am posting so late I just got home from work. I still have you in my prayers.

[Jen7900]

T - your optimism and strength is amazing. I pray that this baby pulls through and proves the RE wrong. Hang in there sister.

[ascott]

Juana: I have thought about you all evening. I once told you how I admired you for your faith. I want you to know things will get better, with your faith how can it not. I am posting you a prayer another young lady I have gotten to know here, posted for me when I was heartbroken. Please stay strong the storm will pass.

Many nights we pray. With no proof anyone could hear, and our hearts a hopeful song We barely understand. Now we are not afraid. Although we know there's much to fear.We were moving mountains long before we know we could. Who knows what miracle you can achieve when you believe. Somehow you will. You will when you believe In this time of fear. When prayer so often proves in vain. Hope seems like the summer birds,too swiftly flown away They don't always happen when you ask, and it's easy to give in to your fear. But when you're blinded by your pain, you can't see your way safe through the rain. But you will when you Believe

[kp1212]

Sam,
You triggering today???

I am waiting for the fert report from yesterday...  (ugh-waiting s*u*c*k*s!)

[Savanha]

Tijuana...

I'm so sorry that you had to experience what you did with that stupid RE. I am a total optimist, so I am yet holding on Sis. I am soooo glad to see your strength! Hang on Gf...don't give up. I absolutely love the story of the young lady Sal shared with you. I agree with the other AGP Sis-Stars...hang on...don't give up. Again...these RE's need training in compassion...nobody impressed by their "degree...knowledge" when they obviously have NO WISDOM. ;o) XOXOXO.

Hope those two Pm novels weren't too much reading. It's all LuB. ;o)

Savanha~~

[Savanha]

Kris...

I have everything crossed for ya this am...praying for good news. Come on embies...stay strong!!

[kp1212]

I'm dying waiting for the fertilization report!

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[kele1129]

Man, I totally thought that you were posting the fert. report....

I  am such a space case lately, today I showed up for class 5 HOURS early! What an idiot I am.  My brain is just so busy thinking a million different other things, Worrying for T, Wondering how Krista's eggies are doin', Our neighbors dog passed away last night and she is a wreck, our apartment is full of boxes that are waiting for a yard sale...and there I was sitting in a classroom all by my lonesome getting annoyed that no one else was there...*sigh*

[Juana824]

Oh Kele! I am sorry to laugh, but that's funny!! LOL GF...You have so much going on!!

Please don't worry for me, I am just fine. I have come to terms that what will be will be. I am continuing on with the pregnancy as if I didn't get a bad report, I am still taking my vitamins and taking care of my body and working on my mind. No I am not in denial, I am just not going to worry about what I can't control!!

I am sorry to hear about your neighbor's dog passing away, my great aunt just lost her poodle (I think) of eleven years and she was distraught.

Krista - You know how FCI is!! I hope they put you out of your misery son!

Go Evie GO! hope all goes well with your IUI today...

Jen, When is the ET?? Is it today? Good luck to you!

Sam - Thinking of you and hoping all goes well!!

Savanah - I love reading you novels - wink*

Ascott, Glenda, Jen, Amberlee, Hoping and anyone I may have missed (charge it to my head and not my heart) -Thank you again for your notes, prayers and kind words!

They give me strength.

Amberlee, I agree...this is a wonderful group of women!! WE ROCK!!!

[Savanha]

Krista...

You ARE SO RIGHT...waiting is awful. ;o) Sorry...I was trying to convince myself. Hey...can you call them? When I was waiting...I'd make like I forgot and may have missed the call. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. ;o) (ha)

Kele: Gurrrrrrrrl...you are a school loving somebody...go woman. I'm like Tij...that was too funny...had to laugh! I need that type desire for more schooling. ;o)

Tij: LOVE THAT POWER!!!  Keep taking care ma'. ;o)

Evie: Hope your IUI gives ya a BFP. ;o)

Sal or anyone heard from Jen? I thought today was ET day for her. What about Sammy...Oh wait...think her ER is tomorrow.  

Hope everyone is hanging in. Not sure why I am all crampy today...I just Ov'd on Saturday, which was CD22. Not sure what is going on with this body. ;o)

Savanha~~

[alaskacouple]

Will write more later ladies....

[wanting4#1]

Hi Everyone - just wanted to let you all know that I am lurking around the post, but since I don't have much to report (no meds, no appts., already o'd....just good ol' fashion waiting!), I don't want to tie up space.  However, I did want to let everyone know that I am thinking about you and praying for you!

Juana, I am so very sorry.  I can't express anything more or different than what has already been said, but I wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and praying that all goes well!  You are a strong, brave and encouraging person and I am very glad that I have gotten the chance to 'know' you! (all of you, really!)

Big {{HUGS}},
Lisa

[kele1129]

Glad that I could make my sisters laugh...even if it was at my expense.  Well now I am going to my class, that for the record starts at 2 not 9...*double sigh*

Juana- You are amazing and give me  and all the other ladies here strength. Thank you for being the person that you are.

[kp1212]

Fertilization report (drum roll please)....

Two of two eggies fertilized!!!  They said they both look good so far!  WOO HOO!!!!!

Congrats Krista! So happy for you...That is so awesome!!!

[Asking4aMiracle]

Krista thats AWESOME!!!! i bet youre through the roof!! im so happy, ill be much happier though when you get the call....BFP!!!! wow, you might get twins!!

[Asking4aMiracle]

(just wanna leave ya with a laugh, my nipples keep leaking and i think its funny) i might just be weird though!

[Juana824]

Now come on Amberlee...you know you are weird...LOL

[blessedmomof3]

Krista, congrats!!!!! I'm so happy for you and I have a good feeling about this.

Jauna, I would be doing the same thing. Do not give up, when I was going through my thing in June I said to my belly (where the baby was) AS long as you want to fight I will let you. And I did everything in my power to give that pregnancy a chance. You are a strong christain woman and I love you for it!!!!


Well, I can't say my life is boring right now. On top of getting the news about my father, we just learned that DH's niece just got arrested for robbing a house. This is her 3rd offense so she will probly be going away a long time. Oh and she has 3 kids and her DH was with her so he is going away as well. So, today MIL and I have been trying to find out where the kids are and if we need to take them. They are 10, 3 and 1. MIL says she can take the oldest but doesn't think she can handle the 2 youngest. So, DH and I discussed it, and if no one else steps up, we will. We do not want them in fostercare, and we would like to keep them close to their sister. If we have to take these kids we will not be TTC for at least 2 years until Noah is in school and Sophie is 3. Part of me hopes we don't have to, but part of me feels like this is why I'm here.

[kele1129]

Krista- YAY! *hands Krista a celebratory virgin margarita treated liberally with RSSBD*

Hoping-I feel in either case you will be a mommy to a child(ren) that need you.

Amberlee- You slay me...leaky nip gal. ^_^

[Asking4aMiracle]

hehe, i tasted it too, its just sweet. and it stains!! imma make DH taste it later!!

i love you guys!!

[Helen72]

Krista,
100% fertilization rate is great!!  I am so happy for you.
Good luck with your transfer.

Sam,
your retrieval is almost here.  Good luck to you, my friend!!  

[Savanha]

Amberlee: You are straight "WILE"...I LOVE it. ;o)  

Savanha~~

[kp1212]

GADS Amberlee!!  You are a wacko, but lovebale!  ;-)

Everyone, as always, thanks for all the cheerleading!  I forgot to tell you girls this (true story)...

As I am being strapped onto the table for retrieval on Tuesday and the anesthesiologist put the good stuff in the IV, my last thought (I am serious) before going to la-la land was about all of you girls out there in cyber land!  :-)

[sasparilla]

That's sweet Krista.. love you long time!!!

I remember when I was about to go under for my IVF, I yelled to everyone in the room "THANKS FOR COMING TO MY PARTY!"    Then at ET, I hugged every single person in the room.. and I'm NOT a touchy person.  


Amberlee..  You are crazy silly!  You are gonna make extra Breast Milk!!!  That baby will never go hungry  :)

Juana.. How you doin today?  Thinking of you.

Sam... Super double crazy good luck for your retreival!!!!  Please tell us what you say/do when going under (I hope you say something silly)

Jen.. How did transfer go?????

Hoping.. what a terrible thing... but maybe it's a good thing too?  Seems like a sign to me.  And if you want, I'll take the littlest one  :)

Savahna.. How you doin?  I hope you and Dh get a BFP for this natural cycle.

Magda.. Where are you??? Haven't heard from you in awhile, just want to make sure you're okay.

AFM... Today is 10DPO and big fat neagtives on my HPT's.. but I'll keep testing until AF shows then on to stims!!!!
Also,  I found 4 baby kittens (3 weeks old) yesterday.  Took them to ASPCA, they told me they were going to put them to sleep (A=s=s=h=oles!!!) The receptionist at my vet was nice enough to take 2 to help feed and I have the other two.  I am feeding them with a bottle every 3 hours (even in the middle of the night).  They are sooo adorable.  I'll put some pics of them up.  
So now I have something to do for the next 4-5 weeks until they are old enough to adopt out.  And NO, I will not be keeping any.  We have 3 dogs and 2 cats.. no more animals or I'll turn into a crazy, childless animal horder that doesn't bathe and has a dirty house and watched satellite TV all day.

[alaskacouple]

Hey All....back to the real world...

Couldn't write much this am, as was late to work (truck vs. moose on the highway.... they both lost.... tow truck for vehicle and charity to come clean up moose) and then had to head to United Way thingy...

A couple of coworkers and I just spent the last 3.5 hours washing windows, shampooing carpets, and cleaning pictures/walls..... this Senior center looked like it hadn't seen a dust cloth in a year! ICK!

Krista - HOORAY!!  I am so happy to hear of the 100% fertilization! Wow! Grow M's .... Grow M's..... Grow M's.....

Hoping - my heart goes out to your second nephew(s) and neice(s). They need a responsible adult in their life who can show them morals and give them love and support.... God Bless you....

T- you have so much spirit! You are a true inspiration! {{ hugs }}

Amberlee -- you crack me up.... when my gf was preggo, her husband used to think it was funny to make her milk drop, until she started "hosing" him from across the room!!

Helen - thanks for the wishes! Love your new photo :-))

I don't think I will be at work tomorrow.... I am having vision problems.... just can't SEE myself working :-))  

Our appt. time couldn't be changed....so we are thinking of driving down tomorrow night, get a hotel and drive back Friday after the appt..... who knows what dh wants to do..... for all i know, we may be getting up at the crack of dawn on Friday morning....

Love to all my sistas!

[alaskacouple]

Hoping....

dibs on the little one :-)  Sophie?

[Asking4aMiracle]

*just a little comic relief* anything to put a smile on my sisters faces!!

[alaskacouple]

ahhh...I see Sal beat me to it :-))

[blessedmomof3]

sas,

That is neat about the kittens. I had a kitten once that I found. It was just a week old. I hand raised her, I can't believe they were going to put those poor babies to sleep!!!!

Maybe I'm getting all worked up over these kids for nothing. We don't even know if we will need to take them. We just don't want them to end up in foster care., but if someone else in the family steps up we don't want to fight for them. I know we are doing the right thing, and I feel good about it. I'm just mad to be put in this situation, but maybe MIL is right. Maybe this is what GOD has been preparing me for, and maybe it's my calling. If we do take them, I will raise them like my own. I know they will be so much better off here, then where they are. I haven't been around Sophie much (the 1 year old) but I realy bonded w/ Noah (the 3 yr old) last summer while his mom was in rehab. So, I think they will adjust well. We are going to the court house tomorrow to see if anyone has stepped up for them or not. SO we will know then what's going to happen. I'll let you all know what happens.

Oh wow! Hoping, I pray all goes well with the babies. It's good that the family is willing to take them in to keep them from being separated.

Sally aka CatLady - I am doing well. Thanks for asking. Still can't keep anything down...that really *****..I haven't had anything but a half a bread stick from pizza hut and I ended up tossing that up. Oh well...

Amberlee...you are a NUT!!! There is something seriously wrong with you...your going to make your DH throw up and then you will throw up and...it's just gonna be NASTY!! LOL

Krista - The last thing I remember was telling one of the nurses that she was so short, I was like "Wow, you are shorter than me!!" She just started laughing...I am 5' 2"...LOL Also, I was told that when they walked me back to my room, I tried to leave the building. They said I told them I was going to the garage!!! IT WAS THE DRUGS

Hey Sam!! Watch out for the moose and deer on your way to retrieval!! Crossing everything for you!!

Well I am off to visit with some relatives who came to visit from Alabama. Please send some prayers up for my Aunt, her breast cancer surgery is tomorrow!!

Love you all!!!

Hi guys, here's the update...

We transferred 4 gorgeous embies this morning! They were all A and A- quality (2 of each), which is much better than the last cycle with C grade embies. Now we wait...

Krista - 2 of 2 is a GREAT fert report! Fingers crossed that both grow beautifully!

Just wanted to update you all!

[Juana824]

Good luck to you Jen!
Can't wait to hear the results!!

[FaithNHim]

Congrats Jen......now take it easy and TRY not to stress or worry.

( I know that is easier said than done but we will help ya:) )

[kele1129]

Go Jen Go! Well actually ...lay down Jen lay down! ^_^

[sasparilla]

Awesome Jen!  And I agree w/Kele.. go lay down and try to rest.  

Krista.. What's the word sista?


Im tired.  Those kittens are messing up my sleep schedule, big time!

[kp1212]

Great news Jen!!!  Four embies...wow!

I am waiting (why do I feel like I am ALWAYS waiting these days) to hear if we will transfer tomorrow or Sunday.  I'm sure it will be tomorrow considering we only have 2 to work with.  Still just praying that the little embies are doing there thing in the ol' petri dish!

DH and I had a nice dinner last night and celebrated being the parents of two embryos!

Sal...MEOW!

[Juana824]

Hello ladies. Just popping in. Hope all is well with everyone. Chat ith you guys later!

[kp1212]

Heard from the clinic...we are transferring 2 embies tomorrow!!!  Hooray!  They wouldn't give me a lab report, but said they must look good (otherwise there would be a note saying the transfer is pending).  So, I show up at 9:40 for a 10:40 transfer!!!

I can't believe it...

How very lucky and blessed I feel right now!  Wish me luck!

p.s.  is the transfer easy?  what happens?  :-0

[Helen72]

Krista,
I am sooo happy for you!!  All you need is one good embryo and it looks like you've got 2.  Transfer is really easy, just like an IUI or your annual exam.  And they will probably show you the picture of your little embryos.  I still have the pic they gave me from my transfer  :)
They also gave me a low dose of valium for relaxation but I don't think it affected me at all.    
Good luck tomorrow!!!

[Asking4aMiracle]

OH YAY!!!! Krista im so happy!!!! you should be on the same table that they took the eggs from, you will be awake, they will have an abdominal u/s while he puts the embryos in, they should show you were they went and then you go and rest for about an hour and you go home and lay in bed for 2 days!! (at least that was what happened to me, every RE has a different plan) but its much easier then the retrieval. and no pain afterward!! oh im so excited for you!! Congrats!!!!!!

[sasparilla]

Yipeee Krista!!!  Ditto what everyone else says, but also remember to have a VERY VERY full bladder!!!!  Did you have a mock transfer? It's just like that.. I hugged the whole room when it was done like a spaz!


Sam.. Good luck on retreival tomorrow!!!!!  Please rest up after  :)


Has anyone heard from Miky?  She has disappeared and Im worried.


I'm off to a Phillies baseball game tonight, so smell y'all later.

[blessedmomof3]

Good luck tomorrow Krista!!!!! 2 Embies YAY!!!!


I'm exhausted ladies. MIL and I went to the court house this morn and gave our names saying we want the kids. They told us the kids are not in the system at this time and if they hear anything they will contact us. I went to the mall and had some much needed retail therapy. Now, I'm stressed I spent too much....LOL. MIL went to the hosue and said the kids were there w/ some woman and that they looked clean and fed. So, as of right now they are fine. She plans on checking in on them again on Tues. I guess right now that's all we can do.

[Savanha]

Heeeeeeeeeey....LayyyyyyyyyyDies...

Gettin' kinda long...New SpoT...see ya there.

Cheers~
