Cycle Buddies 2009 - the saga continues

[Heather5]

Hi girls! Hope you're all doing well! It's been a little while since last time I posted, and before I give you guys my update, I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words in posts, messages and notes I have recieved! I really appreciate all the support! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. As many of you know, we've had family in town for the past 16 days, and then my husband was laid off in the middle of their visit, which forced us to make a decision whether or not to continue with the IVF. We have decided to go ahead with it, since insurance wouldn't have covered it anyway...and my DH has a temporary contracting job at the moment, so hopefully everything will work out.

I've also had to "sneak" out and get a whole bunch of tests done, since we haven't told our family we're planning on doing IVF, so that was an added stress. But I'm now finally done with everything, and our visitors have left, so I'm officially back!!!! I started lupron 20 units two days ago, and had my trial transfer and water sono that same day. I also got my protocol, and I will be on 3 repronex vials and 1 menopur vial a day once I start the stims. I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing, but also excited. I just REALLY hope it works!

OK! Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do....I'll post again later once I've read through the posts on the old thread. Also, if everyone could please give me their current cycle days and info, I'll start a new list.

SSBD!

Heather :-)

prayingforpatience -  your good thoughts worked.

I got a BFP! at the RE's office today. They asked me to take a HPT before going for a beta-HCG.

I will get the report of beta tomm. Hope everything goes well.

Good luck tomorrow! I'll send good thoughts your way.

The wait is killing me, but I do not want to get disappointed. I had a similar problem with my first iui and got af on 19dpiui and the delay was because of a cyst.
This time I had two follies, one was mature and another was very small at 13 at the time of iui. Am hoping the other follie did not grow over time and became a cyst release some hormones.
Anyway I will get to know tomm. I will update.

Thanks for listening to me. I feel so good after having joined this forum.

I don't know how you're patient enough to wait. :)   I would go ahead and test with it being that far from your iui.

Am 23 dp iui today and no af in sight. But had a temp dip in the morning and I cried a lot, DH tried his best to console me. Am so confused. RE is not available, so I have to wait for af until Friday or go for b/w on Friday. I don't want to test and see a bfn. Could it be just a long cycle..?

Went in again on monday (so 5 days after my last beta) and the number went all the way up to 504! They were really happy, as was I, and I get to see the little peanut on tuesday in my 6 week ultrasound. Keeping my fingers crossed.
