Will be praying for you...
As for me,AF showed up on 19th and nurse confirmed negative yesterday..I am on CD4 now and will be starting CLOMID tomm.(Day 5) and scheduled for ultrasound and trigger shot on 30th of this month and IUI on 1st if all goes well...I was little disappointed but i just know that everything happens for a reason..may be god knows that i really want to have twins and last time i had only 1 follicle..LOL.. may be this is the cycle whn i can have more follis as RE increased clomid from 50mg to 200mg..lets see if it works..
sorry I have been MIA, both of the kids have been sick and its just been crazy!! I am now on CD 6 and go for the mid-cycle scan on May 1 to see where we are at. The progesterone helped!! I didn't have any spotting this past cycle so I am thankful for that. I hope you all had a great weekend and here the weather is finally nice so I am sure it will be a great one for us. I am doing the 150 of clomid again this cycle.
As for everyone else, how are you all doing??
Heather I am glad to see your back.
Shellbelle when is your appt? I don't understand anything about it.... lol.... i would just love to talk chad into the iui this time but I just don't see it. As we have both about decided that this will be our last medicated cycle for a few months since money is getting tight and they lost a job that they were planning on doing this spring... Construction is just way down.

Pearl: Awe…thank you! I’d love to be able to give you guys some good news tomorrow! I’m very sorry to hear about AF, though…she is such an unwelcome guest!!! I really hope you get two super strong eggies this month and that you get your “double” (twin) BFP this cycle!

Iam offiicially cd1 today. yes AF reared her ugly head this month, in full force at that. I was in so much pain that I had to take a nap on the floor in my office while my pain meds kicked in. Not a good look but i had so much work to do and did not want to drive home just to come back (if i went home, would not want to come back for the day, lol)
nonetheless, i feel better now...\
Sorry I have been a bit out of commission for the past week. I have been focusing on studying for my cpa exam. Please pray for me that I pass, one part at a time...Yeah, like we all don;t have enough to worry about with TTC, now we have to actually live our normal lives :-)
Heather-I have been praying for you! You so deserve this as you are the rock that helps support all of this during these trials...

Shellbell: How are your shots going? Hopefully everything is well, and I am hoping and praying to see a BFP for you too!!!!
As for me... FINALLY after taking provera for 5 days my period finally came today! So you can add me to the list as CD1. It's been about 5 years since I have taken chlomid, so I will be checking my ovulation day with predictors. I don't think I can handle taking my temperature too, so I'll just stick with the opk's. Any suggestions as to what else I can do to improve my chances with clomid? I am taking the 50 mg pill from days 3-7, and had a miscarriage a month ago. I just want all the best possibilities :~)))) Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated :~)
YOU BOTH ARE SOOOO DESERVING OF THIS!!!!!
I HAVE BEEN PRAYING SO HARD FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS GOOD NEWS, IT GIVES ME HOPE FOR US ALL!!!!
GOD IS GOOD AND ONLY HE CAN ANSWER PRAYERS AND DO MIRACLES, IN HIS TIMING. TODAY OS YOUR DAY LADIES!

As for me still on natural cycle..im 10 days delayed for my AF..im hoping it will not show up..LOL!! no sore bbs yet but ive noticed this past few days im always craving for a particular food,always hungry even if ive just eaten and iv been nauseated every morning before i get out of my bed but i do not vomit...huh!!!im planning to get hpt tom morning..!still hoping...im irregular thats why im confused always when to take my hpt..i havent got any ovulation kit here in our place its so hard to find one..any sponsors out there???huh!
truck of loads of SSBD to all those who are waiting like me..and to all who are BFP enjoy your journey to motherhood!God bless us all!!!!!!
Shellbelle how is everything going? Just thinking about you!
As for me CD 9 finishing my clomid tonight and just praying for a miracle, that it will happen this time because if not my hubby just told me that we are going to have to quit the clomid and RE visits until our budget gets back to normal. I am just so disappointed, trying not to start crying again. I just didn't figure after all the problems I have had that it would have taken this long. Just please say a prayer for me that I will have the strength to go through this and if a bfn appears again that I will be able to somewhat move on from all of this and hopefully that we can get on with the normal things in life so we can get back to TTC again this winter.

Quick question about IVF retrival process. I am scheduled to go this week, but was under the impression I could go back to work the next day. Am I fooling myself?? Very new to forums and all the abreviations, but I am on day 8 of follicle stimulation and doing well so my MD says. I currently have 15 significantly measurable follicles with 5-6 others that have promise. Have had frustrating journey with fertility, but much shorter than many of you. I am fertility age challenged and clueless about much of this process apparantly. Your wisdom and support are appreciated...
thanks in advance
Everyone: I'm going to attempt updating the list...I know it's been a few days ;-) Be back soon!
Mwhitcomb, thanks for checking in on me I am doing ok feeling positive with all the BFPS!! I started Lupron already next app is May 4th if alls well to start stimms then. Wishing you a BFP on clomid this cycle.
mommyoftwo- doing ok, hope all is well with you, lets hope this is ur last clomid cycle and you will get ur BFP!
**********
Marline: Best of luck with your CPA exam!!! And best of luck this new cycle! Hopefully you’ll get to celebrate both passing the exam AND a big fat positive very soon!!!
BabyMamas: How are you doing? We’ve missed you too! I hope your new computer gets here soon! I’m not too sure about twins. I think my numbers are more indicative of a singleton…but maybe for Agini ;-)
Pearl: An IVF cycle usually costs about $10,000 and up. It really depends on the place you have it done and how well you respond to the drugs (less drugs, less money; more drugs, more money!). I know it s u c k s BIG TIME when insurance doesn’t cover IVF (we were in the same boat)…but hopefully your IUI will bring you your BFP so you won’t have to worry about it!
Agin: Yeah, I hear you! I’m nervous too! Let us know as soon as you get the results… and I’ll do the same ;-)
Ingy / Baby4Shellbie / Shellbell:
Sending all three of you lots of SSBD for your upcoming IVF/FET cycles!! Got my fingers crossed that we’ll be able to add all three of your names to the BFP list VERY soon!!! SSBD!!!
Texasangel: You are so sweet! I really hope Menopur works for you next month! Let me know when you start your new cycle if you want me to add you back on the list ;-)
Mandy: You’ll definitely be in my thoughts and prayers! I think I might get me my own snowblower and direct it straight towards your house ;-) Hopefully you’ll get your BFP this cycle!!!
Bfromthed: I’ll definitely keep praying for all of you! I have a feeling it will be your turn to see those two little lines very soon ;-) Let us know when you start your next IUI cycle!!!
Jennifer: So good to hear from you! How is your pregnancy coming along? Do you have your first ultrasound scheduled yet?
Kramik: Yeah, I would love to have all of our cycle buddies join the pregnancy forum!!! Looks like you’re getting close to ovulation this month (CD14), so it could just be a couple of weeks before you join us on the BFP list! Fingers crossed!!! ;-)
Quinns Momma: Thinking of you and your upcoming surgery… Hope all goes well!
Lisa: How are you doing in your cycle? Are you tracking ovulation this month? Either way, I hope it’s a successful one ;-) Come on BFP!!!
Mwhitcomb: So good to hear from you! And I’m glad your period finally came so you can get started on your next (BFP) cycle! I’ve only been on clomid once, so I don’t really have too many suggestions. All I know is not to take an OPK until it’s been a couple of days since your last clomid pill, since some women get a false positive if taken too close to the last pill. Best of luck this cycle. Hopefully you’ll get another (“sticky”) BFP in a few short weeks!!!
Beth: Did you test??? Let us know how it went! Got my fingers crossed for a BFP!!! By the way, since you’re irregular, have you ever considered BBT charting? It takes a little bit of effort, but it can really help you better understand your cycles…and it will definitely let you know if and when you ovulated and when its time to take a HPT!...Just a thought.
WhiteSwan: I have you listed as 32 dpo!!! Any good news to share?
Cheyenne / fairyzduzt:
Thank you so much! Let me know where you guys are in your cycle and I’ll add you both to the list!
**********
OK! It’s been a little while since last time I updated the list, so I hope I got everything right. If not, let me know and I’ll update the info next time ;-)
SSBD to everyone!

I hope I didn't intrude on an already created group...so sorry! I just saw all of the activity and thought I might get some of the answers I am trying to find...
I know you just posted a list of status...would you explain what all of the abreviations mean. I am trying to find someone who is at a similar stage that I am, but don't know what my abreviations would read...
thanks...again feel so silly asking...and I am a nurse at that...although I am the baby nurse, so once you all are successful, I would be happy to answer all of your questions!!
Thanks again and I hope I wasn't intruding..
Cannot wait to hear your new numbers. I am sure they are great!
Sunshine: You are not intruding at all! We love to get new cycle buddies! I'll definitely add you to the list. IVF cycles are a little harder to list, though, since they usually run over two cycles and may or may not include a regular period. Did you have a period before starting the stims? If so, what day did it start? As for all the list abbreviations, this is how it works: The first day of bleeding is considered CD1 (Cycle Day 1), the next day is CD2 and so on. Once ovulation occurs, the day after will be 1 dpo (day past ovulation) or dpiui (day past IUI), then 2 dpo and so on. For IVF'ers, we would use dpr and dpt instead (days past retrieval and days past transfer). Hope that makes sense :-)
Quinns momma: You are too funny! Well, let's hope you get that BFP a couple of weeks after the surgery then ;-)
:-)
So although I am FAC (fertility age challanged) I now know that I am CD11 and will have my retrival on Thursday. My tummy/back are sore. Normal for IVF stim? Getting more nervous about the outcome of this whole process. Was fine until today and now as I get closer, I am worried they are going to find the problem. (currently I am unexplained infertility). It is encouraging to hear all of the successes that are occuring on this site. Hopefully I too will have the same news next month. How do y'all keep your anxiety in check? Trying to stay sane and not drive my husband crazy..he is so awesome! Thanks for including me and I look forward to keeping up with everyone's progress!
Thanks so much for your friend jesture and your kind note... I was reluctant to join in the past thinking I could just "handle" this by myself, but it sure does help to have the support of others who are going through the same processes. I had to have surgery for stage one endometriosis and then had 1 failed IUI attempt. Because of my age, my MD didn't want for us to wait and suggested IFV. We agreed and felt we would prefer to up our odds. I have been stimulting or whatever for just over a week, and will go for the retrival on Thursday. I too was on BCP and Lupron. Now I am still on Lupron(a smaller dose), Menopur and Follistim. Is this similar to your regimen? How are you feeling besides a human pin cushion? Anyways...trying to stay positive. Hoping for a BFP...(not really sure what that stands for but a postive test I am assuming...oh, and what is a RE and AF...not too hip yet with the phrasing. Thanks for the tutoring...; )
...oh and RE is Reproductive Endocrinologist (fertility specialist) and AF is Aunt Flow (period).
Jennifer: Thank you so much! I don't know about twins, though, I think my numbers are a bit low for that. Now Agini, on the other hand...she's got some high numbers!!! Only a week before your ultrasound!!! How exciting!
:-)
Take good care of yourself:)
İm CD25 and now in 2WW but dont know when i ovulated. İ hate not knowing my body. İ had EWCM about 3-4 days ago but no cramps and i always do get cramps. Then yesterday i had cramps with creamyish CM. So when did i ovulate? When i had EWCM or when i had cramps. İ should record temp but tried that once before and didnt get on very well with it. Will just have to wait out the 2WW and hope for a BFP.
:)
Congratulation to all the BFP and I hope there are more to come!!
Agini: I am so very excited for you, as well. It sounds like you also have a couple in there! Great numbers....toasting to a healthy and happy nine months for u as well. Hope I can join you and Heather soon....keep us all posted on your progress!
We're hoping for the good news to come in three......who's going to be the next BFP then? Will keep an eye out for everyone.
As per me, I am 11 DPO. AF is due on Saturday, May 2nd and praying that she stays away for nine months....So I can join Heather and Agini and others....My boobs are sore and I've had some minimal cramping 2day, so keeping hopes up. If no signs of AF, I am planning on doing a HPT on Saturday morning, 5/2 after ending work week. Unfortunately, our computer will not be arriving until Wednesday, May 6th....So, can't post results until (at least) Monday, May 4th from the office. I check Fed Ex everyday to see when that sucker will be here....and then I try to get into Medhelp everyday too....but it's hard cause my work puter will bumps me off medhelp nearly everyday....but,no worries ladies....I will keep trying and keep you guys posted. I keep praying for all of us every night before I go to sleep and hope that we can all get our little angels soon....Sending you all SSBD and sticky vibes.
Go HEATHER and AGINI!!!!! We're all joining you soon!!!
Babymamas, hope all is well with you, good to see you get to check up on us, wishing and praying you get your BFP!
ALL: Today is cd 28 and I am just n standby for 1f (due in 2 days) I hope I have went 44 days before! Praying to hear more bfp's God Bless ladies :)
I will post tomorrow:-) Thanks
Silapooh - Good luck for tomm.b/w.Wil be praying for you Hope you get your BFP :)
Pearl: Thank you so much! I won't have my first ultrasound until 7 weeks, so I have to wait all the way until May 14th!!! As for the IUI timing, it usually depends on what the RE feels is the best time to trigger. If you're ready for trigger during the day, the IUI would be the day after, but if you trigger at night, it would be a day and a half after. Most women ovulate about 38 hours or so after trigger, so many REs try to time it at 36 hours...but 24 hours (like you did last time) is pretty common too.
BabyMamas: OK, I'll try my best! LOL! I'll find out for sure mid-May...but I'm kinda thinking one (based on the numbers). Glad to hear your BBs are hurting and you're cramping ;-) Sounds like some pretty good signs to me! Come on BFP!!!
Lisa: Good question...I'm not really sure what's a better indication of ovulation...but as long as you're BDing on a somewhat regular basis, you should have it covered no matter when it actually happened! So here's to a Big Fat Positive for you veeeeery soon!
Jessime: I'm so sorry you've been feeling a bit down lately...I think we've all been there. And an 8-month pregnant 14-year-old!!! That's just not fair! Sending you a BIG hug and lots of SSBD! I hope this month proves to be the one for you!
bfromthed: Yay! You're almost there! Who would have thought I'd ever be cheering for AF to arrive...LOL...but in your case it's good, because we need you back TTC so we can soon add you to the BFP list!
Lilyanne: Did you have your transfer yet? Keep us posted, OK!
WhiteSwan: Send me an update on where you are in your cycle and I'll add you back to the list. SSBD!
Quinns Momma: Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow!!!

Everyone: I'm going totally bonkers just sitting around waiting for my ultrasound in 2 weeks!!! My AF-type cramping has more or less stopped, which I'm a little bit worried about...but I can't remember how long it lasted last time. My BBs are still tender, but not as sore as they were last time I got pregnant. I'm not sure if that has something to do with it being IVF and using artificial progesterone vs. the real thing or what; but let me tell you, the last couple of days, the prometrium has been KICKING MY A S S! I'm on crinone (vaginal progesterone) once a day and prometrium (oral progesterone twice a day, and it wasn't too bad in the beginning, but now the prometrium is making me soooo wooozy, I can barely walk straight!!! It starts about an hour after taking the pill and last for quite a while! Crazy!

:(
I guess we can do IUI,, for the next round since we cannot afford another IVF treatment. how does IUI work and how many of you have gotten pregnant from IUI on the first time? If you got pregnant from IUI on more than one try how many trys did it take and were any of those 39 or older? I'm just trying to figure out if its even worth attempting at my age.. 39..getting prepared! Thnx, Monica
So wish me luck..I kind of feel funny asking for that, but what the hey..you all are so positive and supportive. I go tomorrow for my Egg retrival..very nervous that they will not find eggs in all of those Follicles. Anyone know how common that is?? I have like 15 ripe and ready to go follicles with 5 others that are a little smaller. I worry because I am "unexplained" that I will find out the reason is no eggs or that his sperm is repulsed or something by my eggs..I also fear the natural diaster that "could" happen and that they would not be responsible and all this would be for not. I even avoided assisting with the whole Swine Flu craze (I am a nurse at the hospital) thinking I didn't want to catch it before anesthesia tomorrow..How crazy are these thoughts, or am I just way hyper anxious. Please tell me that I am no the only crazy person out there!!
I am so happy to hear about the successes and I am even more proud of the group that has had less hopeful news, because you are maintaining your happy positive thoughts!
keep that up!! Thanks for your support!
Heather-I know it is hard to do but try not to think about it too much. I agree with texasangel to try and take the pills at night so that you fall asleep a bit after the crazy symptooms kick in. I am SOOOOOOO EXCITED for you my dear :-) All will be perfect when you go for the ultrasound in a couple weeks. Grow baby grow. You are definitely in my prayers :-)
All-I have not been on in a bit as I am very swamped with work, studying, etc. I am glad to hear you the GREAT news on the forum. It gives us hope that a BFP is in line for all of us so deserving ladies. Being patient is half the battle as we want it to happen NOW :-)
I wish you all the best. Sending lots of hugs, kisses and prayers thru out. SSBD!!!!
xo,
marline
The little ones will probably grow a little more tonight and you might get a few from those also guessing you already did your trigger shot yesterday? I have been through IVF 3 times waiting for my 2nd beta test tomorrow. my number was to low yesterday.
Anything can happen anytime,, don't sit around being afraid of natural disaster, live your life. Focus on being a mommy and relax :) Good luck with the surgery tomorrow. You should have your hubby go out and buy you an electric heat pad for after the egg ret. Works wonders!
Big hugs!
Mommica
Sunshine: Best of luck tomorrow!!! Crossing my fingers for lots of mature eggs and that they all turn into strong, viable embies!!!
A_Muse4u: That's such great news that you won't need the lap surgery! Wishing you all the best for your DET in June!!!
Monica: Have you checked if your insurance covers IUIs? I would start by checking how much it would cost you per month (including any meds) and then make a decision. I've done several IUIs without getting pregnant, but there are plenty of success stories out there as well. BUT hopefully everything will look just perfect tomorrow, so you won't have to worry about any of it! Sending you lots and lots of SSBD!!
Mommica- Thank you so much for your comments about my IFV progress. I have not know anyone who has IVF out in the "real world" that I could have struck up a conversation about the # of Follicles their maturity and the thickness of their uterus lining. It has all been a very mystery to me how this works. Although my husband is wonderful, he still doesn't entirely understand everything I am feeling. I should just believe it will work and have faith, but that is very hard...all I hear is that my age 38 is working against meI was nervous about the forum concept but subsequently have really seen the benefits of the support. For someone who has had such a journey as you have, you inspire me with your optimism. All the ladies on this thread amaze me. Thank you for letting me be a part of it. Good luck tomorrow. i will say a big prayer for you! Quick question...Would you do ICSI even if your husband has good sperm motility and quantity? Would you do assisted hatching? ah...so many questions..
Heather..Thanks for your support...Again, I am so happy for you! I just know I will be there soon....I hope ; ) (my attempt at optimistic thought) I am wishing you well with the progesterone...I start on saturday so will look to you for tips.
Marline - thanks so much for your prayers. I can feel the good juju and karma coming my way...come on little follicles you can do it!!!
Chris
babymamas: iam so so sorry .dont loose hope.i know its very frustrating & painful but be strong.& get ready 4 next.goodluck.takecare.
Sunshine: If you feel OK after the procedure, please give us an update! We're dying to know how things went!!!
Mommica: You too! Let us know how it went today! Got my fingers crossed for a nice, strong number!
Hopeful: I took your name off the list, since I had you as 22 dpiui. Give us an update and I'll add you back on (hopefully to the BFP list!)

Feeling fine and hanging out with my honey! Rare weekday occurance. Completed my egg retrival this am and they collected 12 eggs...Hopefully they are young and spry and are having very romantic moments with my husbands swimmers! We recommended candles and mood music to the embryologist but based on his emotionless expression, I don't think that is going to be happening.
Anyone have numbers on the percentages of the eggs retreived to fertilization rates? Thanks for all of the support and good vibes sent my way. I can only say that your positive messages are really helping my moral..Thank you.
BabyMomma - I am so sorry to hear your news...I know what you are going through and like everyone is saying..hang in there and keep trying. I really believe that we all will have our successes one way or another!!
Mommica- Any news?? I couldn't get you out of my mind last night...sent you lots of good juju!! Fingers are crossed!
Will let you know tomorrow my fertilization rate...Hoping for high numbers...No wammies (for those of you over 35)
hugs
chris
As for the injection, it's really not that bad...even though it might sound a bit scary at first.
Best of luck with everything, and let us know how it goes tomorrow!!!
SSBD!
By the way, that's too funny about suggesting the music and candlelight :-) Too bad the embryologist didn't have a sense of humor. LOL!
Take it easy over the next couple of days, and keep us posted when you get your updates!!!
Here's and Anonymous Encouragement Poem for all of us who had not so good news this week:
"When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When she might have won had she stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit."
I hope this helps!
Please ladies pray for us...by the way because of yje broken foot I have gained some weight and because of pcos he said this can throw my cycles off....wow....So again I am cd 31 no signs of af so last month was 44 days who knows how long in between this one will go!
Thanks,
Beatrice
Chris
bfromthed: No way!!! Are you serious? That would be awesome!!! I'll definitely keep you and your DH in my prayers! :-)
Mommica: Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that... Sending you a BIG cyber hug! There's probably not much we can say or do to help you feel any better right now, but please know that we're here for you if you need us...
BabyMamas: I would check with your RE about the long-term side effects. I don't think there are any major ones for clomid, but I'm not really sure. I do know that they say to use it for up to six months (or something like that), but that's based on the fact that if it hasn't worked for you in six months, chances are you need a different approach to get pregnant. But since it did in fact work for you earlier this year, this shouldn't apply to you. I do know that clomid can thin your lining after a few months, though...but I'm sure your RE is checking for that. You could always ask to be switched to femara, though. Femara is just as easy to take and has less side effects than clomid. Just a thought.. :-)
Sunshine: I'm actually not sure what the normal fertilization rate is, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your five beautiful embies will continue to grow and prosper until your transfer!!!
Hope everyone's having a great weekend!
SSBD!
I wasn't sure if I had posted letting you know I am taking a bit of a break. Mentally, I think I need to think of something other than TTC, it's consumed my whole life...I will be out there watching occasionally. Heather, FYI I am CD 4 today...
Will let you all know when I come back!
Hope this IUI works..pray for me
Also update on ky and tan.
Tan he is ok nothing going on dr visit went well!
Ky WON!!!! She won her division and all of her optionals but 1 so we were estatic I will add a pic of her up when I get them. This is her first pageant that she has won that was on facial beauty only! We are so excited her crown and sash are just plain gorgeous and she gets to represent the state for a year!! :o)
I will be on here tomorrow to get updated!!
Sending the snowblower to all of you with extra extra extra super sticky baby dust
Hugs

I am doing my first ivf cycle, did my trigger shot last night, set for retrivial monday morning. Like sunshine I am very nervous about the outcome, even though RE says I have lots of follies, what if their not good? So many worries. But I guess what will be will be. Congrats to all that have gotten BFP .
Sunshine-Not sure what the normal fertilization rate is but just want you to know that 5 is great!. Some ppl get none. I know it's not what we want to hear, but remember it only takes one. With 5, you'll still have the opportunity to freeze some and try again, just in case. Sending + vibes your way my dear :-)
mommica-I saw the BFP list and you are our latest addition. CONGRATS to you and your family! Keep us posted on your progress. Praying for a happy and healthy nine months and healthy baby:-)
Pearl1980-Glad to hear the IUI happened. I know what you mean about the procedure being a bit more painful with a tilted cervix. For some reason, it happens but I normally just breathe thru it and pray until it's over as it is not a pretty thing to go thru. Keeping you in my prayers that you get a BFP!
bfromthed-I'll definitely be praying for you. God's timing is wonderful and exact. This would truly be a blessing, among other ones you've received. I really hope and pray all works out for you. I know you'll keep us posted :-)
fairyzduzt-Good luck with the retrieval on Monday. Let us know how it goes. You know we'll be rooting for you :-)
Baby4Shelbie-Sometimes taking a break is what we need. TTC can be and is really emotionally and physically draining on us. Just drop in every now and then to let us know how you are :-)
Heather-The BFP list is just growing and growing. I am so happy you are on it!!!Patiently waiting to join it as well :-) How are you feeling ?
All-Nothing much different going on here. Still working and studying. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I am able to pass my CPA exams. It's very important to me and my main focus right now. TTC is still the focus too. Trying to save $$ for the IVF. Possibly going to try acupuncture and see. In the meantime, enjoying natural cycle of bd and tracking ovulation. Not really using a o kit but I know I normally o around days 12-15 so I have been bd every other day since CD 8. My DH is now on Fertility Blend for men as well. I'll get on the one for women soon. Pray for us...
SSBD to you all!
xo,
marline
Fingers crossed for all those waiting on BFP.
And for the rest of you, I am so positive about year 2009. This year is gonna bring happy news to all of us.
As for me, I am 12 weeks today. Will have the NT scan this weekend. Doc asked us not to "tell" anyone till the scan is done. I'm waiting to break the news to friends!
bfromthed: Wow, sounds like AF is being really stubborn this month! When was the last time you tested?
kramik: Wohooo! Back in the 2WW! I bet you ovulated yesterday, so I'm going to add you as 1 dpo to the list...let me know if you think it needs to change. But yeah, it's probably a good idea to BD again today, like you said...just in case! SSBD!!!
A_Muse4U: Sounds like you and your DH enjoyed your "cinco the mayo" weekend! I wish you all the best and hope everything works out so you can have your DET this summer!!!
Fairyzduzt: Best of luck today!!! Let us know how everything went when you have a chance!
Pearl: I have a tilted cervix too. I've found that it's actually pretty common. Lots of women on this forum seem to have a tilted cervix. It does make it a bit more difficult to get the catheter in for IUIs (and IVF transfers), but from what I've read and heard, it does not affect your chances of conceiving at all! Best of luck this month!!!
Marline: I wish you all the luck in the world for your CPA exams! I know you'll do great ;-) And of course, I'm also sending you lots of super sticky baby dust for a BFP this month! You never know, maybe the more relaxed approach is what will bring you those two little lines!!!
BabyMamas: Oh, I see...that's too bad about your donor not being available right now. As for the IVF cycle, it generally spans two months. The first month is to gradually suppress the ovaries, so that the meds will be as effective as possible (most people are on b/c pills, then lupron this month). And the second month is when you actually do all the stims, retrieval, transfer and pregnancy test. Hope that makes sense. Best of luck on Wednesday, and keep us posted after your appointment!
Mandy: Wow! Sounds like you probably had three good eggs by the time you ovulated yesterday! Best of luck this 2WW!!! Also, congrats to Ky! That's awesome!
Baby4Shellbie: I totally understand! I feel like TTC has been the main focus of my life for the past three years now (since my first miscarriage), and I know that's not healthy...so taking a little break will probably do you and your DH good! Take some time to enjoy life and each other. We'll still be here when you're ready to come back :-)
Sunshine: Any news on your five beautiful embies?
Quinns Momma: How are you doing?

feeling much better today, off progesterone since Friday,, already started flow, tons of cramping,,ugh!!! back at work today but a little wacked out on extra strengh midol!
haven't been able to eat to much and feels like I already lost a few lbs,, those hormones blow me up about 10 lbs each cycle..
Heather;
thank you so much for your status updates on everyone, its nice to see so many BFPs,, gives me hope,, :) thinking of IUI or donor eggs,, haven't really decided yet. I have been looking online all weekend and not sure to stay at my current RE or move to an office that will do 5 day transfer with pgd testing if I don't use donor, I was looking at the one in LA that charges 5800 for IVF not including icsi or assisted hatching. they also have a donor program. have to make a decision soon! lots to think about.
congrats on your bfp! Keep the posts going!
Agini,
thank you for all your support, congrats on your BFP!
Silapooh,
Yes we are going to try again, we can be cycle buddies!

All- Thanks you so much!
I will keep you all posted. I am getting excited about IVF....hoping for a heathy pair!Thanks for all your prayers. Sending some back to all of u....SSBD and sticky vibes...
HEATHER-how are you doing ?thanks for the info bout the fertility.com i will check that out..its kind weird..im just the only one in this thread that have very long cycle at 51 LOL! 19 days delayed..its really hard to have irregular period..huh!my family make fun with me coz everytime im on delayed status..i wore maternity dress..LOL!the question is until when..??LOL! i already started my BBT charting..tnx alot..take care always..
BABYMAMAS-hi how are you?ive read that you ask bout the effect of fertility drugs..as for me,last wk i went to my doc to check out my red spots/itchy on my butt..and she found out that the drugs that i took for the past few months have side effects..Duphaston,Progynova..Gonal-f.."erythema nodosum" and..urticaria acne."is the term..i dont know if you have experience it..??maybe its case to case basis..but for me..i got these skin allergies..she gave me some medicines and they are gone now..whew!
SILAPOOH-thanks for the poem uve shared!..its really hard isnt it..ttc is really a big challenge to us..sometimes im really depressed..but im still fighting..lots of prayers are big of helps..!
BFROMTHED-sorry AF arrived again..its kind a disappointing to have when we expect was BFP..huh! but maybe..thats a sign to move on to the next step..me too have cancelled/failed IUI..and we cant still afford IVF..huh! as of now were on natural cycle..im still on break from this treatment since last march..maybe its not the time for us..but keep hoping coz there is something instore for us..maybe its not the way we wanted..but there is still hopes..just wait for God's sign..take care
BABYSHELLBIE-me too im on break..thats why i can relate to your feelings..lets hope and pray that God will give us the answer soon..!take care..
MOMMICA-welcome to the thread! how are you doing right now?sis you got pregnant before?its really alarming when were on our 30's ..isnt it?me too im worried if i will still conceived coz im 34 and have irregular period..SSBD to you!
ALL- Congrats again to all our BFP's!..and to all having egg retrievals..our big hopes that you will get lots of fertilized follies..
....and to all my classmate on ttc..to all BFN..whew! be reminded that.."
"For i know the PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future..Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,and I WILL LISTEN TO YOU..You will seek me and find me when YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.."Jeremiah 29:11-13...
Let me share to all of you..
As i was still on my break from this fertility treatment since march at present, me and my DH have decided to have a break since my RE told me that i have a less chance to conceived bcoz of low number of eggs/poor egg quality inside my ovaries.
To my surprise... just a few weeks after my last visit from my RE my cousin called me up! and told me that her friend who is a doctor told her that there is a baby to be born 3 weeks from now and the birth mother was looking for adoptive mother bec she cant take good care of the baby..and my cousin ask me if i wanted the baby??..i dont know if this is the answer to my prayers???..since me and my Dh have decided to have a break for a while..thats why we have decided that we will get the baby..and if my cousin will called me up again..we will finalize the adoption..we will pursue this..
I am not saying that, we lose our hopes and dreams in this ttc..but as of this moment, we are already open for some possibilities that God will offer us.. maybe this is the time to face the reality..but still hoping and praying that if the baby is really meant for us..it will come..even if she/he will not grow in my tummy..surely she/he will grow in our hearts..
Please pray for us..
Just checking in. CD32, no signs yet of AF yet. Started work now so havnt been able to come on as much, but when i can, i do.
Hope every1 is well.
:)

beth0414: adoption is a awesome idea, my husbands' best friend and his wife adopted their first child (a girl) because they were having difficulty TTC. About a year after the adoption his wife got pregnant with their second child (a boy). They are so happy right now!
bfromthed: hopefully AF does not arrive:-)
Heather & agini: How are you doing? Hope you have a beautiful and healthy pregnancy!
Heather: I should be starting my cycle very soon. I will be using donor eggs so I don't have to do the retrieval portion of the cycle. Right now I am just waiting for AF to come on, she is being very stubborn right now.
Heather how are you???? Thanks she did awesome I couldn't have been prouder and she even won some money back! That makes it even better.
WOOHOO Shellbelle its getting closer! I am still praying for you.
As for me, I am realaxing, and trying not to think of what will happen. I am just hoping that one of the three follicles that I had this month will implant. Its been a long year for us. I had some pretty bad cramping yesterday called the RE and they said that was probably a good thing so lets hope! Trying not to think the HCG shot made me sick but now I am feeling lots better.
Sending the snowblower to all of you with extra extra extra super sticky baby dust
Hugs

Baby Dust to You All...............
BabyMamas: OMG! You're doing IVF! That's so exciting!!! Can't wait to celebrate your BFP and your two little beans this fall ;-) Best of luck with your consult today! Let us know how it went when you have a chance!
fairyzduzt: Congrats on your four fertilized embies! I hope they all make it to transfer day!!! Keep us posted, OK?
bfromthed: Wow! Two weeks!!! That's a long time to wait for a blood test! Well, let's hope for some good news coming up, whether it's an unexpected BFP this cycle or a free IVF!!!
Mandy: Sending you a truckload of SSBD (since I don't have access to a snowblower), so that one of your eggies fertilizes and implants this month!!!
Silapooh: Isn't it typical that when we DON'T want AF to arrive, she has the nerve to show up early, yet when we WANT her to get there, she's always taking her sweet time. What a BRAT! Anyway, I'm so excited for you on your upcoming donor cycle! Hopefully you'll get to celebrate your well-deserved BFP very soon!!!
Agini: How are you doing? Any new symptoms yet? I still only have tender breasts (but even that fluctuates sometimes)...and some mild cramps here and there. I kinda wish I had more symptoms, though, so I could "feel" more pregnant, if you know what I mean.
Shellbell: Best of luck starting your stims tomorrow!!! Can't wait to hear how you respond!
Lisa: Good to hear from you! Sounds like you're entering the busy tourist season. Maybe the work distractions will help you get your sticky BFP! Keep us posted when you have a chance, OK?
Beth: Oh, that is such exciting news! I hope the adoption goes through, and that you finally get to hold that little baby in your arms. You're right, a baby is just as loved, whether born from your womb or your heart :-) Good luck with everything and let us know how things go!
Mommica: Wow! Lots of big decision to make... I have to say that the LA clinic has some pretty good rates, so that's a big plus...as long as their stats are comparable, of course. Best of luck with everything! I really hope this next cycle will bring your your BFP, whether you end up doing a regular IVF or a donor cycle! SSBD!!!

At work thought I would drop in read some encouraging news! I am so overwhelmed with all the different treatments and prices and the decision to use a donor or not to use a donor!!! I almost want to take a break and let God take over.. I think I read it in one of these threads,, funny saying in this situation.. "If you want to make God laugh,,,,, tell him your plans!" Funny I see myself being so driven and passionate about becoming a parent again with my husband, and I believe in letting God drive but sometimes it feels like he isn't going fast enough for me so I try to take situations into my own hands. I think that if God had other plans for me, he would take away the feeling of wanting to create a life with my husband. I had my first baby when I was 17 & raised her on my own. It was difficult, but I wouldn't trade the experience for the world She is growing up to be an amazing woman! I come from a large family, all the women in my family have lots of children. My Great Grandmother had 11! 10 boys and 1 girl! My Grandmother stoped at 3 and my mom had 6! All of my sisters have 3 or more and my brothers each have 2. I only have 1, by choice, up until the past couple years. I could have had more but decided not to. Now its not happening.. You are all so amazing in this thread. You are all helping me make it through this!
Thank you and God bless all of you.
Heather, thanks alot I will keep you posted,
Mommypftwo- thinking about you, good luck I have a feeling this will be it for you with those wonderful follies. seding you back a truck load of SSBD!
Agini, Thank you so much for all the positive vibes. you and Heather are great inspiration.
SSBD to all.
No meds this month, gonna try natural.
mama1981-for reminding me that it just takes one....That is so right and I am praying that I have success.
Silapooh-for your awesome poem. So important to keep the faith..I appreciate you sharing that with me.
Heather- For your contined support of all of us. you are an amazing woman and I thank you for helping us through all of this.
Shellbell- Good luck with your stims tomorrow...may there be lots of busy follies
Mommica - You are so brave and strong, whether it feels that way or not. Your answer will come to you soon. Hang in there!
to all - thanks for everything...I am currently on bedrest. They transferred 3 embryos today. Does anyone have experience with grading? I had 1 3AA and two 1AA with assisted hatching. Are these grades viable from your experience? Finally, I want to share a quote I came across. I think it is quite nice.
'May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.'
Oh, and I just watched the Secret...I suggest it for those who need added positive thoughts and vibes! I am going to watch it again tomorrow and the next day so I can keep a positive juju going.
thanks everyone... have a great evening...

Sunshine, thanks for the quote, keep us all going strong. I am so excited for you I will pray and pray that you get a BFP!!! dont know about grading but I wish you tons and tons of luck!
Suzannah, I heard cramping is normal and its a good sign of pregnancy when the uterus is stretching to accommodate the baby! sending lots of SSBD and hoping you get a BFP!

Fairydut, gook luck! just relax and enjoy the 2WW, hoping and praying you get a BFP!

Agini, thanks so much for thinking about me, excited and nervous I know you remember that feeling! when do you go for your ultrasound?
mommyoftwo- thinking about you and hoping and praying you get a BFP, those were some great follies you had I have this strange feeling you will get your BFP!
Babymamas, I am so excited you will be doing IVF, lets hope and pray this next iui will be the charm and dont have to go thru IVF, sending you lots and lots of SSBD!
All; My prayers go out to all of you, trust in GOD pray and have faith, he will smile on all us. lets hope and pray its going to be soon.
All, enjoy the weekend and I will check in on Monday after my appointment, Monday will be 4 days of stimms, cant wait to see how many follies are there.
I am back on birth control pill on Sunday, so my cycle should probably start in a couple of weeeks.
As for me: I am 6 DPO and had some dark red spotting and I am on progesterone so maybe it is a good thing. I have had some mild cramps but I figure its just from the progesterone. I also have been sicker this time from the HCG shot than anyother but to tell you all that I think its this cycle would be a lie, I just don't think it will happen this cycle either. So well! I just hope someone gets a bfp this month!
Sending the snowblower to all of you with extra extra extra super sticky baby dust
Lots of Hugs
Mandy

Mandy: I’m so sorry you’re feeling a bit down right now. Are you sure the spotting is not implantation? As for your DH…that really does stink. Guys just don’t get it sometimes. The hand-made keychain and card was sweet, though ;-)
Sunshine: Congrats on the two little embies! I know the grading can differ from clinic to clinic, but from what I’ve heard, AA is the best rating! Only one of my two embies were graded (the other one was a bit too early) and it was a 1BB, so you’re definitely off to a great start! SSBD!!!
Bfromthed: Finally! She sure was taking her sweet time this month (AF, that is)! Best of luck tomorrow! Let us know what the plan is when you get back!
Lisa: I’m so sorry about AF…but hopefully May will be the magic month for you!
Twinsdesires: Oh no…I’m so sorry to hear that! I know how discouraging it is to get one disappointment after another, but don’t give up! Sit down and have a long talk with your RE about your different options, and hopefully, he or she will be able to get you that BFP next time!
Fairyzduzt: Cramping is perfectly normal after transfer and could actually be a good sign (implantation!). Best of luck!!!
Silapooh: Yay! Almost there! Sending you lots of SSBD for your next cycle! :-)
Shellbell: How did it go today? Let us know as soon as you have a chance, OK?
BabyMamas: I totally understand. You’ve deserved a little break. Have fun this month and do all the things you won’t be able to do once you get pregnant (because you WILL get pregnant very soon!)
Wannahaveababy: Best of luck tomorrow!!! I hope it’s a BFP for you!
Beth: Keep us posted on the adoption!
Quinns Momma: Best of luck this month! Hopefully, you’ll have a muuuuuch longer cycle this time around (like…nine months or so!)
Mommica: I hope you’ve had some time to process all the information. I totally know what you mean about things not moving fast enough. For the last three years, I’ve seen my sister and best friend have their first and second children, while I was still trying for number one (I had two miscarriages during that time), and for a while there, I just wanted to “pause” the world, so I could catch up! Silly, I know, but that’s just how I felt. Sounds like you’ve done a wonderful job raising your daughter! I hope you get to give her a sibling very soon!

Heather/All, Went for my scan this morning after 4 days of stimms and Re saw about 10 follies, he thinks there are more but hiding, anyways they are all ranging from 8mm to 12mm, he increase the gonal F dose and I have to go back Wednesday for another scan. Tonight will be 300iu of gonal and 75ui menupor. Heather is this good for day 4 scan?
Sometimes we all need a well deserved break. We all understand your frustration but, eventually things will all work out. I guess God has a different plan for us all. I've been trying for 4 years and was devastated when I was told that my only chance at having a child was by using an egg donor. I took a break for over a year and now I am back trying. This will be my second IVF cycle and of couse it hurts when you get that BFN but I have to try again because the next cycle might be the one. So ladies, take your well deserved break and you will know when you are ready to try again. God Bless and stay encouraged!
Hope you all had a nice Hot Mamacitas day!!! Hugs to all of you and lots and lots of baby dust!!!
Heather5: Thanks for all that you are. You are simply amazing....
SSBD and sticky vibes to all!!
