May-June 2011 IVF'ers

Dear ladies

Ahh! after using medication for a month; i could bring down my thyroid and hence i would start my ICSI IVF cycle from May 2011. :). I will be put on Lupron from May. Sperm has already been collected and slow frozen; so it is just with eggs now. Fingers crossed. will keep you all posted. very happy for now and excited.

good luck to you all. anyone starting in may too?

would there be adverse side effects due to lupron?

thanks

Trying-wow thats ao amazing!!! Congratulations!!! Im soo happy for you and DH!!! When is your next ultrasound? Ours is next monday, 6 more days! I cant wait! (Ill be 6w5d by then) How are you feeling so far? Im exhausted!!! some days im hungry all the time and some days not really hungry at all. and nauseous here and there. I have a feeling by looking at your numbers that I only have only perfect bean in there lol. By you having a beta 4x mine only 2 days later im thinking thats a pretty good judge of twins lol. I was close to your first 2 numbers though (268 and 681) which is weird. I guess beta really isnt an indicator for how many are in there lol. I cant wait for the 11th for our next ultrasound, im just so excited! to see how it has grown and see the heartbeat!!

HopefulBetsy-Im so sorry for your loss. I know this is a difficult time to get through. Im very happy that your parents will lend you the money to try again. Its hard to stay positive when all you feel is sadness but try to push through the sadness knowing that there is a baby out there for you. My mother told me that almost everyday to keep my spirits up, she'd say whether its a baby from adoption or a baby in the universe waiting to be in your belly there is a baby out there for you. You'll be in my prayers.

PLS and Hoping2b-I hope your betas go well today! Have either of you POAS? Please let us know!

I had bloodwork again this morning so Ill call this afternoon for my beta and see where we stand.

Here's to Hoping! Love and Babydust to all!

Well...if you read my earlier post about the number 2 coincidence, it rings true!

Just saw Baby A and Baby B on the ultrasound.  Separate gestational sacs with yok sacs and teeny tiny fetal pole (both viable and both snuggled in nicely).  Said they should be able to see the heartbeat next week.  They both measured 5 weeks4 days.  DH's voice was cracking (not sure if it was that emotional or if it was panic...lol)

Guess I should start cutting diaper coupons and start stockpiling pretty soon!

Happy days.....enjoy the holiday weekend.  Looking forward to our annual crabbing trip, though I will not be partaking in the huge feast this year......I can only have 6oz two times a week....:0/  Plenty of time for crab after babies are here.....

HopefulBetsy:  I am so sorry for your loss.  I can only imagine what you are feeling....I only had those thoughts going through this process.  However, I do know what it is like to lose a baby early (by natural pregnancy) and it is a deeply saddening experience.  I am praying you can find peace and success with the next attempt.
