bfromthed: Sorry to hear about the surgery...but, glad to know that you will be over-compensating again and be able to squeeze in the IUI's. Ladies...don't worry so much about the sperm count. I got pregnant with 5 million. You just need good swimmers! Bfromthed, I will keep on praying cause I do believe that Spring is the time to be fruitful and reproduce!!!! ;))

ALL: Went to Re yesterday morning. Pregnancy was confirmed. Beta was 11 anumbers do and Progesterone was only 16 ;(...slightly worried....Re wants it at 20. I will back in on Monday and they will repeat Beta and see if Progesterone increased....these numbers do fluctuate and late implantation makes Progesterone lower....So, please keep us in your prayers. I am taking it easy and will keep u guys posted! SSBD and sticky vibes to those of us with BFP's....

They asked me to go back on tuesday for another beta and see if it goes up or down.

i think i'm done for this cycle... just did a HPT and got a BFN... if AF doesn't show up first i'll be going to the dr in the morning for the blood test but i'm sort of out of hope... especially since i've been feeling all of my lovely PMS symptoms for the last couple of days... i'm just so miserable about the whole thing, i don't even know what to do with myself...
maybe i'll just cry myself to sleep...

bfromthed- good luck with the surgery...keep us posted on the IUI in April...will be looking for your posts!

wannahavababy- probably the last thing you want to hear, but stay positive and don't give up hope! I know everyone needs a good cry and with all these hormones running through us...

Update for me:
Had 14 follicles on the right and 12 on the left today. One has matured to 18! I go back tomorrow morning for another appt. They said I'll trigger either tomorrow or Tues....will keep you guys posted...hoping for the best!

Bfromthed-good luck with your surgery...

wannahaveababy-Please hang in there.  Remember though, it is ok to cry, but once done, you must brush yourself off and think forward and try again.  We ar all here for you my dear.

I am officially cd9 today.  just rying to take things one day at a time.  Finding time to study for the 1st part of my cpa exam scheduled for mid april, ugh,  such a hard exam.  Nonetheless, I am wishing you all the best and sending ssbd to you all.

Well today I am CD 31 (not sure how many dpo since I didn't keep track this month) The last 2 months I have had a 29 day cycle. On Saturday I started getting a tingling sensation in my right nipple. Lastnight my bbs started to KILL me - today I keep getting sharp pains in them and have been so hot the last couple of days - I can't even sleep at night cause I am sweating - LOL - - anyone feel like this and get a BFP??

Mar 09, 2009

I haven't checked in for a few days.  I guess I am trying not to think about it so much this month.
Anyway, haven't really noticed anything other than super sore bbs.  But that is most likely the progesterone.
I test on Thursday... so I will update you then.
If this month doesn't work for us... we are on a break from all the stress.  I'm not worried though.  It has to be the right time, and only God knows when that is.

To: ALL/hopeful

It's been a really sad day for us. Hopeful, we're in the same boat. We had a chemical pregnancy (i.e. early miscarriage). I had some strange cramps this morning...this time with spotting. Had appt with Re to re-check beta and progesterone...unfortunately, by the time I got there I had started bleeding and had severe cramping....just like you Hopeful. I can now totally relate to what you're going thru. They did an ultrasound and it showed nothing...soon after I started the heavy bleeding and later they called me to let me know the beta was low...a 2, so I was no longer pregnant. Today is cycle day one. We are getting ready to start a new cycle. SSBD and good wishes to all!

HOPEFUL/BABYMAMAS-i can relate to both of you ive been there last 2007..its really painful,the cramps plus the blood spotting you see in undies makes really frustating..I'll pray for both of you..i know you have given so much effort on this..but dont worry,all things are work for our good though sometimes we cant see how they could..Just want to share what eve read today...
"Even when we receive something that doesnt seem good, we can still be grateful bec we know there is more to it that we can see....What seems like an imperfect gift may be the means by w/c God perfects us..!"

ALL-many thanks for all the positve thoughts you shared in this forum that makes this ttc journey very hopeful..i personally got so many strength to all your insights and encouraging words..pls keep us posted..

Hi everyone, so sorry to hear about the MC's but keep your hope alive! I had an MC, an ectopic, a baby boy (almost 3) another MC, and am now at 10dpIVF w/Clomid, as the other meds couldn't stim more than 1 egg (32 previous IVF attempts CX). Clomid 100 mg stimmed 3 eggs, Dr transferred 2 of 3 grade 5, 8 cell embryos. I'm taking 1.5 cc progesterone & am 1/2way thru the 2-WW. I had a lot of the nasty, pregnancy-like symptoms last week but not so much the last day or so, so I'm a little worried. FYI-egg retrieval hurts way more than they say!
Thanks, for listening!

Thanks everyone for all your support. You gals sure know how to help people keep strong everyday thru this very arduous process of trying to conceive and maintain a healthy pregnancy. I did a lot of crying yesterday. It cleanses our souls, I hear....

Today is c/d 2. Tomorrow I have an appt with Re at 8:15am to do screening. I am hoping that everything looks conducive to us starting a new cycle. I plan on sticking with Clomid at 25 mg for now, since it worked this past cycle. I am bleeding profusely. My endometrium was 12 mm thick and there was a cyst that we hope is shrinking. I will keep you guys posted. Thanks again for all your prayers and ssbd and sticky vibes to all of u.

To: all

Well I am cd 32 (not sure how many days past ovulation -- I wanna say 17dpo) But this month I didn't test for ovulation or keep track of temps. So I am patiently waiting for AF to arrive - didn't take a Preg test yet as I don't want to be disappointed to see a BFN. I am feeling crampy today and my bbs have been hurting since Saturday. I so hope this is my BFP month - my husband and I have been trying for 3 1/2 years and 2 miscarriages so this would be the best -- we would be on cloud 9.

Sending tons of SSBD to all.

My fingers, arms, legs and everything else is crossed for you. I'm in the 2WW stage myself and at 10dpo. Not sure what to think at this stage. Had cramps on 7dpo and 8dpo but they have since then ceased and I only have the tingling, burning sensation on the outer areas of my breast near my armpits. I wasn't TTC at all. I gave it up years ago after having my tubes reversed, 2 IUI's and 2 IVF's -- ALL FAILED. Haven't tried to conceive now in the last 3.5 years. Just gave it up. It took a toll on me emotionally and I just wanted to be done with it all. Now here I am almost 4 years later and I think I may be but too nerveous to get my hopes up high. So here's WISHING you, myself and all the other ladies here HAPPY BABY DUST.

DOn't be nerveous Shellbie. Just pray and relax. I did IVF twice and I remember the egg retrieval part like it was yesterday. You will feel some discomfort for sure but it's all worth it dear in the end if you get a BFP. Anyhow, I found that the best thing for me was to relax. So try not to tense up so much. Just relax and it will be over before you know it.

kramik107 & TurboTia: Hope this is THE month for you! Lotsa Baby Dust!!

Baby4Shellbie: Hope your ER is easy and hope there are lots n lotsa eggs waiting to get knocked up :)

About me, I am on 15dpiui. CD 29. AF normally arrives punctually on CD 28 but no sign of her now. Took a HPT and can see a faint line. I am even more worried now because this is what happened last time too. HCG levels weren't high enough which is why the line continued to be faint in 5w,6w. It was actually a chemical preg but it didn't happen the natural way, so we waited few weeks, and then they called it a missed miscarriage and I had it medically terminated after a long 10 weeks! :(

I DREAD these faint lines..they don't spell hope for me.. I'd rather get a BFN and try again next time. I don't see the doc until Saturday. I don't want another MTP.. please God :-(

wannahavababy

Mar 10, 2009

so my BFN is confirmed... now just waiting for AF to show up... It frustrates me when she shows up late once I know that it's all over... but i'm expecting that i'll be hosting her by tomorrow... thanks for the encouragement all of you... i'm trying but it's still hard... i had my hopes up so high this cycle and now they were all dashed...
Heather, just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you and I hope everything is ok...

please help, i have been on lupron for 12 days now af was do 4 days ago she still has'nt showed i'm stressed what should i do? i'm wanting to start stims already, has anyone had this happen before? had your period late, b/c i'm usually like clockwork every 28 days.

Tucsonmama

Mar 10, 2009

To: tab6

lupron delayed my AF by over a week the first time I took it, and I am usually extremely regular.  The IVF was CX.  Second time, my doc recommended a lower doseage & for less days.  We're back to trying clomid again as the lupron/menopur combo wasn't working well.  Check w/your doc to see if you should reduce to bring your period on.  Good luck!!!

Babie4shelbie-my ER hurt for 4 days, lots of cramps, but great sleep!  I rented the entire first season of "24" to keep my mind off everything.  Wishing you lots of Happy Baby Dust!

I took a HPT today-neg-so we'll wait as today was 11dpIVF and my blood test is on the 16th.  Doubtful, though!

Mar 11, 2009

I'm on cd5..... Af arrived on saturday and i had cramps worse than ever. I went for a scan on tuesday expecting to be able to start the cycle again but they found a lot of cysts and told me i have to have a rest cycle... i'm very disappointed but there isnt anything i can do.... trying 1 more iui and if cysts develop again we have to move to ivf...

kramik107

Mar 11, 2009

STILL NO AF TODAY - and was too chicken to test this morning. But I have convinced myself that no AF tomorrow I will DEFINATELY test in the AM. I will keep everyone posted.

I am pretty much symptomless - had some cramps on and off but today no cramps at all - and my bbs are somewhat sore feel a little bigger and occasionally have some tingling of my nipple on the right one - so hopefully this little bit of nothing turns out to be my BFP.

I tested yesterday... not supposed to test until Thursday. Anyway it was BFN. Yesterday was 15 dpiui #1, 13 or 14 dpo.
Then yesterday afternoon, I had terrible cramps. The type of cramps I normally have day 2 or 3 of my cycle. Still haven't started... but if AF doesn't arrive then I will test again tomorrow.

To: kramik/cbhoping/ALL

kramik: I am excited for u. It looks promising. Sending you some extra BD!

cbhoping: That's exactly what happened to me. I tested negative, then had bad cramping for two days and when I tested again...I was preggers...and then, unfortunately, I lost it! It was a chemical pregnancy...that is a very early miscarriage. :((

I am wishing you the best of luck, SSBD, and tons of sticky vibes. ;)

ALL: I had RE visit today. Screening was good. Corpus Luteum is gone...endometrium is still thick and needs to thin some more...fortunately, I am still flowing. But, I was cleared to start a new cycle...and this gives me hope. I am supposed to start Clomid on Friday (cycle days 5-9, instead of 3-7 due to the miscarriage and heavy flow). I go back in on cycle day 10, next wednesday to see how the follies are developing and my E2 levels. I am hoping these numbers look good. We're ordering more sperm Friday. I am really looking fwd to this month's IUI. It's really helping me cope with the loss this month. I will keep you guys posted..

SSBD and sticky vibes to all!

Hello Everyone,

First off thank you for all of your well wishes, thoughts and prayers. The ER yesterday was very painful (still at home on my couch today...but as some of you said, the drugs are GOOOD!) When I woke up they told me I had 16 eggs! I was so excited!! Today I found out only 4 were mature and from those 4, only 3 fertilized. They are going to watch them tomorrow and do a day 3 transfer. I know I should be thankful for at least having three, but I still am so disappointed! From 16 to 3! I thought at the least 1/2 would fertilize. Has anyone had success with Day 3 transfer? My understanding is they do it b/c the chances of the quality of eggs at that point doesn't matter with so few.

Any insight would be helpful! Thanks!!

Hi everyone! My husband and I have been ttc for 13 months. We started round 2 of 50mg Clomid Oct. 1. My first cycle we tested positive with the OPKs but got BFN for HPT and started AF Sept. 29...we are hoping this will be our lucky cycle! I have been unfortunate to have tons of side effects on clomid but if it will allow us to get pregnant then it is all worth it. Best of luck to everyone!
