pebbles/bfromthed- So sorry to hear your news, my prayers are with you.
shellbell- how are you feeling?
heather- 1st I would like to thank you for all of your encouraging words and for checking on me. how are you feeling?
Well, ladies I am back on the IVF band wagon, I will be starting Lupron on Monday and going to the RE more often this time.
Heather : hi heather last night i wrote a long message & unfortunately it didnt go through. iam doinh ok still having bad naushea but in the evening.& now once in a while vomitimg also.fron last 2 ,3 days iam having bad gas problem at night around 1am,that i couldnt even sleep i feel chest pain becasue of that from last 2 ,3 days i sleep by sitting from 1am to 4am becasue if i lay down i feel this chest pain.
ALL: IUI was this morning around 930am...everything went well. Count was approx 6.4 million. I took the day off to relax 2day, keep my feet up, and rest....I actually feel absolutely no cramping nor have noticed any spotting from the procedure. Normally, I get cramping and spotting due to irritation...but none of that. I am feeling well and will be keeping you all posted. Thanx for all the support, good wishes, and prayers....will be returning all the positive thoughts.....
sticky vibes and SSBD to all!
Hope you guys are doing ok, just a little busy today.
Just got my 3rd Beta back its 2082!!!
Had some cramping and light spotting yesterday, so I was pretty worried. Seems to be better today. I'm hoping I just overdid it with too much activity on Saturday and that it's not anything serious.
MGS, I was so rooting for you, your post touched me a lot, fearing a low first beta. (and it wasn't even that low) BUT I felt your pain when you were waiting for those beautiful numbers to triple...Congrats.
Heather, You my dear are the rock over here on this forum. You are so organized I don't know how you keep up with it all. Congrats on your pregnancy. You are a wonderful person to keep up with everyone after your BFP.
Babymomas--We had our IUI's at the same time this morning...How funny. We were 9:30 and I think we had about 110 million, isn't it amazing that millions of sperm get placed into you to meet your eggs....AMAZING.
What was your protocol. I did 350 Follistim and I had 9 follies. 5-7 of them ranged in the 20's. My Re wanted to cancel for fear of multiples (more then 2) and I begged him to be aggressive with me. He agreed; with my history and allowed the IUI to take place. He thinks I may have 4 or 5 releases...Oh I also triggered with Ovidrel and did 3 days of Ganerelix before I triggered. My beta is on June 22. How about you. Are you doing progesterone? I am doing inserts twice a day and also taking estrace twice a day.
2WW here we come!!!!!!!
To all BFP's CONGRATULATIONS, it must be an amazing feeling.
To all BFN's Sorry, don't give up.
Pebbles.....Where are you, I'm worried...drop me a line when you get a chance.
Does anyone know how to change it...?
Thanks so much for your message. I'm impressed your insurance covers so much of this, mine doesn't cover any of it. Not a single IVF, IUI, not even the meds.
Definitely keep your spirits up. You are still young enough to keep trying - you will get the good news eventually. You just will.
Hang in there everyone!
babyMomas: good luck to you and DEVASTATED...by theway you have to do another name and just tell people thats you you cant adjust your name good luck!
All: I am off to re's office in the morning for b/w and u/ s I will post with the plan tomorrow afternoon...God Bless sticky vibes and baby dust...seems lie the thread is picking up agian...lets get the momentum rolling ladies!
Just checking in. I have been very busy this week which really took my mind off of TTC. I hope everyone is doing well. Congratulaions to all the BFP's, I am so happy for all of you. I will check back in during the week.
As for me, I am still doing the waiting game as far as my new IVF cycle. I will update as soon as I get some good news.
Babymama/devastated: Glad to hear your IUI's went well..I am praying for the both of you too :~) Sending out some POSITIVE VIBES for the both of you.
All: Had my FET consultation today. RE put me on BCP's beginning today. Then when I get my period, I am to start ESTRADIOL , 2mg, 3x a day. She said since they are going to control everything, she wants to also put me on injectible progesterone. She didn't want to do this cycle since it will be a lot of monitoring on a natural cycle, plus she wants to make sure they are transferred at the right time. I AM SO EXCITED (and scared, but who isn't, right?) She said since the last time they transferred 3 and only 1 made it, she is willing to put in 4 since it's a FET. I am praying my embies grow and all make it through the thawing process. At this point we don't care how many we have, just that I have a healthy nine months. At this point she said that my FET will be mid July!!!!! Seems long, but I know it will go by quick.
Good luck to everyone and SSBD by the truckloads to everyone!!!!
Mwhitcomb: Thanks so much. Sending you positive thoughts back and looking fwd to your FET. Try not to be too nervous. I know that your time will come soon and that you will be blessed with a healthy 9 mos. sticky vibes my friend!
Bfromthed: Thanx for the good wishes. Glad to hear that you will be doing back to back IUI's. I am cheering for you so hard, girl....I know that GOD has a plan for all of us....and that you deserve this BFP enormously....SSBD dear!
Deviasted: Hi there...and welcome to the thread. You will get a lot of support on this site. Everyone is great here. I am actually on only 25 mg of Clomid. I don't take anything else. This is my 6th IUI and if it doesn't do the trick...my partner and I are moving into IVF. I had a pregnancy on IUI # 3, but it was a chemical pregnancy. I lost it at about 2-3 weeks of conception. So...I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed cause my insurance does not cover IVF, and will have to come up with at least 12 grand very soon....My goal is to be pregnant by August 20th...my birthday! There just couldn't be a better gift this year. Again, glad you're here and that we are sharing the same cycle this month. Good luck to u! SSBD!
Heather5: How are you? How's the baby boy? Let us know when the next ultrasound is. hoping you're feeling tremendous and thanks again for all ur support and keeping the list for everyone. Your ability to give to others is wonderful. I can't wait for you to be a mommy!
ALL: Feeling well. IUI today went fine. No symptoms....slept a lot. I think my body felt like it finally had its relief after ending cycle meds and I am glad to be in the 2WW. Thanks to all for all the support and know that all of you are always in my prayers. Let's keep those BFP's coming! SSBD!
agini - I have heard the gas sometimes does this and is painful but I'd say if it persists, to go to your Dr to see what they can do, if any. Not sleeping at night is not good for you my dear...Hang in there.
bfromthed - Sorry about the AF. Hang in there. Glad to see you are back in the game. Let us know what happens for this cycle. any word yet from the Hospital on the IVF cycle?
Shellbell - Awesome #s! I am so excited for you. It seems like yesterday you mentioned starting IVF and you are already preggers..I could just cry as I am soooo happy for you...
Heather - How are you doing?
Devastated - You may have to create new profile as you are unable to 'change' your name once created. Please try and keep the faith as this WILL happen for you. To be trying actively since 06 is a long time and your hard work and dedication will not go for not...Luke 1:37 For nothing is impossible for GOD. Please just keep the faith. All will work out my dear...
Sending lots of SSBD to you all ...
XO,
marline
Heather: Thanks for being so attentive and supportive. I know you've heard it a million times on this thread, but you are awesome. You make every woman on here feel important. That is a really hard thing to do and you have been a blessing to each woman you touch through this outlet. About me, It has not really been full flow. Started spotting on Saturday, then yesterday it was heavier, and today it was back to spotting. Since this is my first IVF I am very confused about when to expect AF if I have a BFN. Well, I say BFN, but I will not do HPT so I will wait for beta. I didn't tell DH about spotting until I got home today and he wants to stay positive until we hear otherwise and I agree. My mantra is "I am pregnant."
mama1981and ALL: You are so right mama! Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." I feel so full with His love right at this moment and I pray to hold onto this feeling. In Him ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Devastated: I can't wait to see what your new name will be. I do hope you come back to the thread. I am sure you can offer a lot of support to other women that are going through this for the first time. I can totally relate to the insurance stuff because I have lifetime 3 IUI's and 2 IVF's. But I am starting to realize that those numbers should have no power over me and how I feel. Worrying will not change the rules or the outcome of my IVF. So, I am trying to be positive, positive, positive. Always easier said than done, but I am making an effort. BTW, can you share your experience with AF after IVF?
All the BFP's: You guys are living proof! Thanks for sharing your stories and congratulations.
Heather, how are you feeling, any nausea yet?
Agini, thanks will know for sure on June 19th which is not that far away!
bfromthed, hope all well and something is hatching :-)
Baby mamas, thank you so much, I am rooting for twins too....will know not this Friday the other Friday...cant wait, come hurry up and join us!!!!
Mamas1981, thanks it does seem like the other day time really flies!!!! well soon enough i will know how many and see the heartbeat.
All- good luck to all cant wait to hear more BFP!
Wishing everyone good luck for upcoming tests or procedures.
Congratulations to everyone who has gotten BFP's!!!! There have certainly been quite a few!! I just can't wait to be back on the BFP list myself!!!
Take care and good luck.
I am going to change my name but I have to make a new account and I will let you all know it's me.
Jennifer, I am so sorry for your loss, I know when I had my misses It felt like it took forever to get back to zero. I can tell you that every one is different but my bio in Dec took a little over a month to drop from 25 to zero..So it could take a while for your numbers to drop. Are you getting your numbers checked once a week? It's hard enough to deal with a loss and now you wait for your numbers to drop to start all over again.
I'm sorry.
As for me, I feel very bloated today and last night I was in a lot of pain. I couldn't even go to the bathroom without crying. It is so much pressure and still there today, but I can deal with it today. I always feel like that after an IUI, It's just been so long that I forgot. I never felt like that with IVF's I wonder what the difference is....
Oh well, I'll be fine by tomorrow and GEEEEEEZ, I have 13 more days to go in this 2ww....
Babymomas--how do you feel today? Are you gonna HPT? I try not to do them, For me, I do not respond well to them, BUT they have so much power over a girl in her 2WW....lol
Shellbell: Girl!!! I wish. I hope we can produce a baby this month, so I don't have to go the IVF route. Can't wait to hear about your twins....hope you get one of each (boy and girl)
Deviasted: I am feeling well, except for extremely sore boobs....how are you feeling over there? as per HPT, not sure....I also hate to do them. I may just wait for AF, since I will just schedule appt with Re after that to start the pill and do IVF sometime in August...SSBD!
smahoney9 - Having and keeping the faith is the only thing that'll keep us going. It is also what allows us to be an inspiration to each other. Welcome back to the east coast my dear... :-)
Babymommas - Thank you for those vibes. I will definately take in mandy's snowblower anytime, lol...Continue to take it easy and stay positive... :-)
Heather - Thank u again for all you do my dear!!!Hope you are doing ok.
xo,
marline
Goodluck everyone.
Thanks to all of you for all of the support!
Snowblowers sending bunches of SSBD to you all who are still ttc

SSBD Hugs
Mandy

the BFP is coming one by one, GOD BLESS THIS THREAD.......
Smahoney, very rare to get a false positive. I am so happy for you! Also spotting when AF would have been do is very normal! Congrats....
smahoney, congratulations that is a real BFP, many women sot and bleed a little right around the time AF would suppose to come.
Congratulationssssssssssss:) Girls ..wow 2 BFP'S this morning.Lucky day.
**********
Thanks again to all of you for all your kind words! They totally make me blush sometimes...but I really do appreciate it! I actually had a little bit of a scare this morning when I went to the bathroom and found blood in the toilet bowl after! Totally freaked me out...but I soon found out it was coming from the rear and not the front (sorry if TMI). So I'm hoping it's just from the constipation I've had for the past few weeks. I called my nurse and she agreed and suggested a stool softener and increasing my water intake. So I'll try that. I have my next appointment on Friday, so if it continues, I can always bring it back up then.
Hope everyone else is doing OK! I'll be reading through the rest of the posts and update the list a little later today!
SSBD to everyone and congrats again to our new BFPs!
All, I gotta say I dont feel pregnant at all, is this the way we are suppose to feel? my only symptoms are breast pain and I am bloated the cramping went away...should i worry?
Thank again!
Phew!!! glad to hear its from the back and not from you know where! I get that alot too we need to drink more water..how are you? are you showing yet? take care and good luck with ur next appt.
Samhoney : iam so sorry about ur rude nurse,i know some people doesnt understand the feelings we r going through.but let me Congratulate u,the BFP u got in degital one wont be false positive, becasue to show postive on didgital one ur HCG level should be high because the digital HPT's always need high level HCG atleast 50 that means u r pregnent my dear no doubt about it.so dont worry about that witch nurse just be happy becasue iam sure ur beta level is good enough.& the spoting u had is normal that is becasue of implantation. tell that nurse once u will have ur beta report ,that dont say negative things untill unless the report shows.takecare,have a healthy 9 months.
Pearl: i think u did HPT early. so dont worry u should do 1 day b4 ur B/W.which HPT u used???? the best HPT is first response early pregnency test, becasue that need very less HCG.but u should atleast wait 14 dpo.so dont worry.u checked early.goodluck & lots of sticky vibes on ur way.
Shellbell : what ever u r feeling & not feeling is so normal.my symtoms started after 8 weeks so dont worry just enjoy ur pregnency.but make sure no lifting,no bending etc etc.takecare.
Mama: thanks 4 ur concern, i mailed my dr about my gas problem & he said i can have any overthecounter medicine except one.he said i might having dairy products thats y, & i dont eat or drink any dairy product, iam not satisfied with my gync dr but i dont have choice.
Bfromthed :; goodluck dear with ur IVF.
Heather : sorry about the scary confussion,i had that problem too,but i knew it is from back becasue i felt pain too.u have to drink lots of water.& try to drink water as soon as u wakeup b4 even u brush that helps.
DEVISTATED : how r u doing???lots of baby dust on ur way.
Hows everything with u...hope DH is taking good care of u:)
Congratulations!!! God is really blessing each of us one by one!!!! I get so happy and encouraged when I see all the BFP's, it gives me so much hope.
As for me, I finally got a call from my nurse today and she is suppose to email me my protocol this afternoon. Will update later.
Ree077 's post on other thread made my day:) she also tested on 11dpo nd got bfn but on 14dpo she got a faint line and now on 16dpo its dark and shes pregnant:) Congrats once again dear..
Good luck everyone ...will be praying for all
Shellbell - I am not feeling any symptoms at all - the cramping went away for me as well. I don't even really have a sore chest, maybe a little, but nothing like what they say you will feel.
I'm so excited by all the good news on here!
Pearl: Lets pray together! I am also 11dpiui and will be testing on Friday. Dont give up hope.
Shellbell: My cousin who just gave birth to her first child had no symptoms at all except her growing tummy! She had a really good pregnancy without the icky symptoms. So enjoy your 9 months, I wish you well.
Ree- Congrats on your BFP! third is definitely a charm, but lets keep it coming! I wish you a healthy 9 months.
all: I cant thank you guys enough for the stories that you share on this thread. I have learned so much from you guys, more than my REs office! And I really love the support, since being on this site, it have had more happy days than sad days. Thank you guys! SSBD to us all!***********************************************************************************
smahoney - It's not over til it;s over. Myst be very excited to see the first ever 'pregnant' on a HPT. Keep us posted. We are praying for you. Crying earlier means hormone changes/mood swings so that sounds like a good sign as well, lol
bfromthed - 5 left over follies...You are right, it is alwwyas something. But you know what, all happens for a reason. You are a very determined person and I know you put your heart and soul on the ttc journey. God sees and has a plan for you. It may be that you need this month off. $7000 is not bad at all, actually great, news about the IVF. Things will definately work themselves out for the best for you and your DH my dear...
Heather - Sorry about the scare but glad it was not what we don't hope for. Yes staying well hydrated is the key. One thing all my pregnant friends always say is that their Dr's always send them home with stool softeners and a Rx to drink LOTS of water. I am on an 80oz intake of water daily, not even pregnant, and it helps me go regularly without all the DRAMA, lol good luck with your next appt :-)
xo,
marline
Devistated: Welcome to the thread! And best of luck to you this month! It sure sounds like you have a pretty good chance with 5-7 mature follicles and 110 (!) million sperm! I’ll be crossing my fingers that one (or maybe two?) of the little eggies fertilize and implant! SSBD!
Kristine: Welcome to you, too! Cycle day 24 is probably a bit early for a HPT (home pregnancy test), but it all depends on when you ovulated. Do you happen to know when that happened? Most women tend to ovulate within 10 days of their last clomid pill. Wishing you lots of luck this cycle!
Ree: Congratulations!!! That’s such great news! I guess I’ll be adding you straight to the BFP list! That’s awesome! When will you be going in for your blood test?
Turtle: Another newcomer :-) Welcome! I noticed on your profile that you’re 13 dpo, so I went ahead and added you to the list! SSBD!
Jennifer: I am so sorry about your miscarriage. I’ve had two myself, so I know how heartbreaking it can be. I only had a D&C after my first one (the second was a spontaneous miscarriage), and my period came a little after a month after the procedure. I’m not sure how long it will take for the last 83 to go down, but I do know that once your levels are back down below 5, you’ll normally ovulate within the next few days and then get your next period about two weeks after that. Hopefully it will go fast, so you can move on and get ready for your next BFP! Did your doctor say when it was OK to try again?
Prayingforbaby: Congratulations on seeing a heartbeat! That’s such an amazing feeling! I am so happy for you!
Shellbell / MGS:
My cramping didn’t really last that long either. And my BBs are not nearly as tender as they were in the beginning. The only thing that seems to be constant is my super bloated tummy (although it’s not too bad in the morning...it usually gets gradually worse as the day goes on). And I’m with you, shellbell, sometimes, I don’t feel pregnant at all.
Agini: Oh man, I’m sorry to hear about your sleepless nights. When you say chest pain, do you mean heartburn or actual pain in your chest? Either way, I hope it goes away soon so you can get a full night’s rest! Oh and thanks to both you and Shellbell for putting my mind at ease when it comes to the bleeding “back there.” I’ve been drinking a lot of water and eating high-fiber foods today, so hopefully that will help (oh and I also picked up a stool softenere, but haven’t taken one yet).
Fairyzduzt: Yay! I’m so excited you’re about to start a new cycle! Hopefully this will be the one for you! Keep us posted!
Kdm / Pearl:
Best of luck to you both on Friday! Hopefully we’ll have two new names to add to the BFP list!!! (oh, and Pearl, 11 dpo is too early for most women, so don’t even worry about that)
Bfromthed: Oh man! I’m so sorry you’re having to sit out this month. I hope those pesky cysts go away soon, so you can get back to TTC. By the way, I know what you mean about $7,000 being a lot of money, even though it’s a discounted price. It’s just hard nowadays with the economy being so unstable and more and more people losing their jobs. I hope things work out for your DH soon! By the way, whatever happened to the possible free IVF?
Mandy: Congratulations again! I’m just so happy for you! That snowblower of yours really has been working overtime over the past few weeks!!! Keep us posted when get your blood test results, OK?
Smahoney: You’ll have to keep us posted after your blood work tomorrow, too! You’ll certainly show that grumpy nurse of yours, huh?
Silapooh: Yay! That’s such great news! I’m so excited you’re ready to start your next cycle! I have a feeling this will be the one for you!!!
Quinns momma: Holy moly! 7 days to get the results? That’s a long time. Well I’m glad they got you on prometrium then…just to make sure. How is that going? I take 200 mg twice a day and it makes me pretty dizzy (although not every time). I can only imagine how bad it would be on 400 mg!
BabyMamas: Yay! Back in the 2WW! Hopefully all that extra rest after the IUI will do the trick for you! Sending you lots and lots of baby dust!!! Oh, and I have my next appointment on Friday…so I’ll update after that :-)
Mwhitcomb: I’m so excited for you on your upcoming FET! And, you’re right…the time will go a lot faster than you think! July is only a month away! Can’t wait to hear your good news in a few weeks ;-)
Marline: Thanks! Yeah, I’ve definitely been drinking a lot more water today. And I went and picked up a stool softener, too, so hopefully that will take care of the “issue”. Hope you’re doing well!
Kramik: Let us know what your doctor says. I’m kinda curious :-)

Heather girl I know what you mean, that was probably pretty scary. But hey that will help bunches how are you feeling now?
All: I will try to catch back up tonight! We are going to get kys dress today for the wedding next month, man what a week so far its been amazing I am still in shock!!
Thanks to all of you for all of the support!

Heather - you are a God send, thanks for the list. It's great to see where everyone is.
Still no symptoms for me either, I really don't feel pregnant. Sounds like that might be normal, I'm certainly keeping my fingers crossed!!
As always you have been such a great support on this thread. I guess you missed my BFN above so you can remove me from the list. I have emailed my OB-GYN asking him to schedule me for surgery before I have my frosties transferred. I want to make sure that it is not the fibroid that is keeping me from my BFP.
thanks.
MGS: Yeah...I guess not feeling pregnant is pretty normal :-) Less than a week till your ultrasound now! Can't wait to hear how it goes!
Ree: Oh, how exciting! I'll add your EDD to the list!
Smahoney: Did you look up your due date yet? If so, let me know and I'll add that to the list, too :-)
Mandy: Wow, the wedding is just a month away now? I bet Ky will look so beautiful in her little dress! Sounds like you got lots of symptoms already, so I'm sure that's a good sign!

Taking a well-deserved break:
Baby4Shellbie, Beth, Susannah, twinsdesires
Heather, thank you sooo much you are the sweetest....I have to tell you I have the same issue with the bloatedness in the morning its gone but by the day progress i look 4 months pregnant, its funny none of my jeans are fitting me bec I wear all the tight hip jeans and people are starting to ask me are you pregnant and I say no bec I am scared i want to wait until after 3 months atleast....take care and drink lots and lots of water....it happen to me lots of times especially when i strain to go...I dont get it often now bec i drink milk too so that helps to go easier.
Smahoney, A line is a line....its a BFP! congrats....
KDM, thanks for the thoughts on your friend feeling better now....good luck to you hope you join us soon.
Pearl, good luck to you too hoping and praying you get a BFP!!!
MSG, I guess its ok not to feel anything, good luck soon will be your U/S, keep me posted as you get symptoms and I will do the same...i am very bloated i feel like i am 4 months preggers....
Mommyoftwo, so happy you decide to join us....hers to a happy and healthy nine months...we did say we will be on the same BFP road didnt we?
Good luck to all waiting to test!
CONGRATULATIONS for all new BFPs.
GOOD luck to all in 2ww and TTC lots of baby dust.
As of my update no iui this month as could not track opks something messing my cycles.
Congrats to all the BFP's-looks like there have been alot!
Good luck to everyone else!
well my IUI turned out to be a BFN so now I am moving onto IVF. my RE has me on bcp and I go back the 25th to find out the game plan for july.
to all the BFP's Congrats may your next 9 months be happy ones.
to everybody in the 2ww it has its up's and downs but the end result is well worth it...
to all BFN's stay with the faith because after N comes a P so we will get there.....
Lots of baby dust to us all
KDM805, Silapooh, turtle and everyone else sending babydust blessings: Thanks for your prayers! They totally worked.
mama1981: You were so right, must have been the hormones. Now at least I know what's making me crazy :) LOL I'm not sure if that makes it ok?
mommyoftwo: I got my BFP on the Clear Blue Easy digital yesterday which was 10dpt, which makes it 13dpo. I am praying for good b/w numbers for you tomorrow. Sending love and SSBD your way.
Heather: Even my grumpy nurse sounded like she was in good spirits when she called to give me my results. It must be hard giving the bad news and that is probably why she tends to stay in the negative frame of mind until it is a real positive. But her tune about my spotting totally changed when she saw my beta. She said the spotting is totally normal and not to worry unless I am soaking more than 1 pad an hour. Spotting was minimal today. I am so grateful for this thread because all of the feedback totally helped me to stay positive while I was spotting. I am 11dpt today and I think my EDD is 2/17/09.
CONGRATS TO ALL NEW BFP and GOOLUCK TO THOSE WHO ARE WAITING FOR RESULTS!!!!
Sheelbell ,agini plz give me little details on IVf like wht day they do ret.and waht day is tranfer..just an idea ..
Thanks all for the wishes and support..love u all
Pearl - I did IVF as well. I was on bc for a couple of weeks. I started my stimulation drugs on May 8th. They did the retrieval on May 19th (it can vary, it depends on how your follicles are growing) and for me they did a 5-day transfer on May 24th (they also do 3-day transfers some time). My first blood test after that was June 2nd. I would definitely suggest that you stay on bed rest 2-3 days, not just the 1 day they recommend.
June - My doctor hasn't given me and EDD yet, but I just had my 3rd beta today, so maybe they will tell me today. For now I've been calculating it by the 1st day of my LMP.
smahoney - Congrats! That's great news. I'm so glad the nurse was wrong. I had some spotting last weekend and the nurse said not to worry about it.
mypleatogod - So sorry to hear about the death in your family. My thoughts are with you.
Good luck everyone waiting for news, TTC or moving on to the next step, and keep us updated.
very sick, fever, cold, sore throat, stuffy nose, sneezing, headache, i hate this NY weather...achy all over, can I take any medication?
help!
Hope you feel better!
shellbell: Extra strenth Tylenol is what the RE told me to take since it doesn't have aspirin in it. I hope you get better soon :~)
MSG: WOW those numbers are great!!! YAY....
Shellbelle tylenol only if you can find it then if not only 1 extra strength one. Thats what they told me with both kids. I hope you get better soon!
The sonographer also did the NT scan and the fluid behind the baby's neck was only 1 mm., which is good, and there was a visible nasal bone, which is also good. So based on the sonogram alone, it looks like the chance of downs is pretty low...but I have to wait for the blood test before I get actual ratio.
I'm just so happy right now!
:-)
Kdm805- so sorry about your BFN:-(
Shellbell- sorry you are feeling ill, but like everyone said Tyenole is fine. Hope you feel better.
A ? though...is there a difference between Follistem and Gonal F?
To everyone else, keep the good news coming!!
cwolf: So good to hear from you! And how exciting that you’re about to start a new cycle! I’ll definitely add you to the list! Sending you lots of SSBD for your upcoming FET!
Mandy: Yay! That’s awesome about your number nearly quadrupling! You know, you had your first beta done so early, so I’m not surprised they were a bit low at first. The numbers have to start somewhere, right? My first blood test was not until 10 days past transfer, which would be the same as 15 dpo. Oh and your progesterone is great…so sounds like you’re off to a good start!
Smahoney: That’s wonderful news! 97 is definitely a good number! Glad to hear your formerly grumpy nurse was in better spirits when delivering some happy news ;-) As for the progesterone number, yeah that is a bit low, but what type of progesterone are you on now? I know sometimes when using the vaginal ones, it delivers the hormones directly to the uterus, and the levels aren’t always reflected in the blood stream (as opposed to shots). So you might still have enough down there where it counts. I never used the shots either, and I think that’s part of the reason why my RE never checked my progesterone levels (so it wouldn’t scare me if it looked like it was low). But either way, I guess it’s worth using the shots…just to make sure ;-)
June: Wow! That’s a super high number! Congrats! And yeah, they usually just go back 14 days from the retrieval date to find the LMP for us IVF’ers, since the actual LMP is not always as accurate with all the suppression and stims and such. Can’t wait to hear how your ultrasound goes on the 22nd!!!
Pearl: Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear about your temperature drop and cramps. I really hope AF doesn’t show up! HUGS!
Silapooh: Thank you ;-) Hopefully you’re next!
Kdm: I’m so sorry about the BFN! That just stinks! Don’t give up, though…you will get your BFP!
Kramik: Ooooh, I hope nothing happens before Wednesday! Got my fingers crossed!
MGS: 7,000! Wow! I’m impressed ;-) I’m actually 11 weeks, 2 days today…and counting the days till I get to the second trimester! Although, I always thought it started after the first 12 weeks, but lately I’ve been reading online that it doesn’t start until the 13th or even 14th week (depending on the site)....and I though I was almost there! Sigh!
Shellbell: I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. I’ve also heard that Tylenol is safe. And if you have a fever, it’s probably better that you take one than not, since it also is a fever reducer. Did you call your doctor to see what they say?
Sahiti: I’m sorry you had to cancel your IUI this month. Do you think you may have missed your surge?
Kristine: Yeah, sometimes it’s hard to know unless you’re being monitored or chart you temperatures. But if you did ovulate on June 3, then it’s definitely too early to test…so don’t give up yet. You still have a chance this month!
Mypleatogod: Wishing you all the best for your upcoming IVF cycle! Let us know if you have any questions, as there are quite a few of us here now that have been through IVF. Also, I’m so sorry to hear about the death in your family…
Quinns momma: Sorry to hear you’re feeling so nauseous. But you’re right, it’s definitely worth it. Hopefully it will get better as your pregnancy progresses!
Bfromthed: I hope the b/c pills will take care of those pesky cysts quickly, so you get to start up again. It’s always frustrating when you’re “forced” to take a month off like that. As for your question about follistim and gonal-f, yeah, they’re basically the same thing. They’re both FSH-only drugs…and so is bravelle…while menopur, repronex and pergonal has a combination of both FSH and LH. Hope that helps.
Agini: Thank you so much! Can’t wait to hear how yours go next week! SSBD!

Taking a well-deserved break:
Baby4Shellbie, Beth, Susannah, twinsdesires
ALL: I am 5dpo and having no major symptoms. AF is not due until 6/23. So, still have a little ways to go. I'm hoping some of these symptoms will pick up....so, we'll see. I do feel extra tired and sleeping better at night. Trying my best to think positive this cycle.
SSBD and sticky vibes to all you homies! lol
5 dpo is too early for any major symptoms, so don't worry about that! Although being tired could be a good sign, indicating that your hormone levels are nice and high this month! So keep those positive thoughts coming! Sending you a BIG truckload of baby dust!
:-)
Heather: How exciting! I can't believe that you are already 11 weeks. And you are due one day after my birthday!!!
cwolfee: What medications are they going to use to prepare you for FET??? My re put me on estraidol/progesterone injectibles.
All: As for me just finishing 1st week of birth control. 2 more to go. AHHHHHH....Can't wait to finish bcp so I can get started. I was prescribed Estraidol (off brand for Estrace) pills. I am supposed to take 3x a day 2mg pills. I will begin taking that day one of my period. How long would I have to do that for? or does that just depend on my sonoultrasound and how my uterus is developing?
I am so happy for all those bfp's and great looking beanies!!!!! Those of us who are on the roll, we will be joining that list soon :~) YAY!!!
Heather that is awesome, I know it was so funny to feel the little ones or watch them on the ultrasound when they had hickups. I have decided I am going to enjoy this one the most since I know for 100% that this is my last one. Yeah with my # doing that and us not expecting a full double I am a little worried about twins since they run in my family allready. I think my first scan will be a week from monday or tuesday.
Snowblowers sending bunches of SSBD to you all who are still ttc

Mandy
well i will be taking break from all medicines and procedures...Moving to IVF in sept..
Good luck everyone else...Hope u all get ur BFP's soon:)
i'll be in touch
I am 6 days post IUI and I was wondering if anyone knew if it was safe to have sex. I know you can't have it after IVF until the blood test BUT I'm trying to remember if the "rules" are different for IUI. I read up on it and I got mixed reviews......
babymomas- How are you feeling? Any signs or symptoms? Do you test on the 22nd?
I have another whole entire week..This is when I start to get antsy and I have a whole huge week ahead of me.....I am feeling kind of full not quite bloated but a full feeling and Yesterday I had major twinges and it felt like my belly button was being pulled on from the inside. Today some twinges here and there but they only last for seconds...and My boobs hurt in the morning when I get up...( I know that is from the progesterone)
Hope you are feeling well.
Sorry to all who got AF or tested negative...It is truly heartbreaking.
Good luck to those who are in the 2WW...
agini--I did the pineapple core for 5 days starting day after my IUI....My opinion; it wasn't that bad......Hope you are feeling well.
Well AF is showing up today, but still light. Ill be calling for baseline u/s tomorrow, and start another cycle of injectables and IUI. Wish me luck!
this 2ww was so WOW. I started having symptoms on 8-9 dpiui. these was cramps. they was hard and very uncomfortable.
10-12dpiui i was having heartburn, a feeling of being hot, pulling sensation in my lower stomach, camping in my legs, backpain, gas( tmi), and a lot of bathroom runs about every 1-1.5 hours,and nausea.
Now at 14dpiui i still feel nauesa at different parts of the day, i get backache when I am laying down, i am tried and wanna sleep bathroom run about every 1-1/2 hour, I continue to get this pulling sensation in my lwer belly but it not as intense as they were.
Reading this thread have giving me hope and freedom to dream high. I pray this time worked because that 2ww is a killer.
When we had the iui done it was 50million sprem observed. and I had two mature follices and two smaller follices... so my fingers are crossed.
please pray for me.. as I have been praying for all of us in sillence.
A very sad thing happened yesterday. i started bleeding and cramping seriously then DH rushed me to ER after everything, i was told i have miscarried with hcg only at 7 very very painful i cant even explain.i cried all through till this morning.
Well this is not to send the wrong vibes to all expecting a BFP becos i know when God says its time to have your child nothing can stop it so i am still beleivig God in His infinite mercies will smile on us someday soon.
for those who have gotten it and remained, so shall it remain till ur due date. amen
and for those close to getting it, keep the faith and hope alive cos it will surely come.
Wish u all truck loads of best of babydusts.
Renee
Kramik - ugh, sorry the timing was off this month. Fingers crossed for next month!
Heather - I guess maybe my EDD would be two days earlier, so 2/9/10, if they go by 14 days before the retrieval.
My u/s is Wednesday, so hopefully it goes well and I will know more then.
Hugs to all that are TTC, BFP, taking a well deserved break, moving to a new step, or just trying to stay positive....
Heather5-thank you for the welcome and adding me back to the list! Congrats on your progress, sounds like your moving right along :)
Kramik / Pearl:
Gosh darn’it! Stupid, stupid, stupid AF! I’m so sorry you guys! She is such an unwelcome guest, yet she keeps showing up uninvited. I’ll have to have a good long talk with her and get her to leave you two alone…for at least nine months or so! Pearl, will you be trying naturally while waiting to start IVF?
Poeticnicky: Welcome to the thread and best of luck this month! Some women have to wait until their periods are late before getting a positive, home pregnancy test, so yeah, you might have just tested too early. Keep us posted after you get your beta results! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Mwhitcomb: Oh how cool that I’m due the day after your birthday! You never know, he or she might just show up a day early ;-) As for your question about the estrogen supplement, I’m not sure, but I was on an estrogen patch all the way up until 11 weeks…but that was a regular IVF cycle, not FET. I guess it would make sense, though, that you use a higher dose at least for the first 10-14 days to build up your uterine lining.
Cwolf: That’s what I’ve been on…crinone. It’s a lot better than PIO shots with their super looong needles and just as effective. Some women say they’re icky because it can cause some lumpy white discharge, but I never had that. My RE instructed me to just use my finger to remove it every 2-3 day and that worked for me. It’s basically a white creamy supplement that once inserted kinda clumps to “stay in place.” So if not removed once in a while, it can cause some buildup (and probably start coming out as discharge). I know, a bit TMI, but just thought I’d let you know ;-)
Mandy: Good luck with your third beta tomorrow! Can’t wait for your first ultrasound to see if there are one or two little beans in there!
Smahoney: Yay! That’s a great increase! Let us know how the blood work went today!
Devistated: I hope the little twinges and tender BBs are from the embryo implanting! Got my fingers crossed!
Bfromthed: Good luck with the injectables next month! Hopefully that'll do the trick for you!
Kdm: How did your baseline go today! Sending you all the baby dust in the world for this next cycle!
MGS: Best of luck on Wednesday! ;-)

Quinns momma: How are you doing?
How are you Mommy? Still so excited for you Heather..
Pearl: Sorry to hear about AF : ( It always takes me about 2 days after AF to get my head back on straight. I agree with you 100%, God is in charge and He is a good God. He will give us all a family in His time not ours. I have come to truly believe that if I can just pray to be in His will and not be barreling forward trying to do everything by my own will then I will be rewarded and happy. Sorry for the sermon : )
Kramik: Sorry to hear about AF. I am praying for you to have a BFP next month : )
Heather: Thanks again for the awesome thread.
All ladies TTC: I am sending you SSBD. WOOOOOSSSSHHHHH!!!! Did you feel it?
ALL BFP"S: I am loving this feling!!!!!
My Update: My 3rd beta today was 618, 2nd was 235 two days ago, and 1st was 97 two days before that! AND my prog was 35 today!!!! So, I am actually looking forward to my shot tonight : ) She also said my estrogen was around 700 and she said that is a good number. I am scheduled to have my 1st u/s next Monday which will make me 5 weeks and 3 days. Can anyone tell me what to expect at the scan?
Heather- I am starting gym from today and i have to reduce 15 pounds in 2 months lol..thts the target right now..we will be trying naturally too but thts not the # 1 thing on my mind now..If it happens good if not then also its fine with us , as we r all prapared for IVF..
Its my cousins wedding in india on august 23rd and we were planning to go .Didnt knew at that time tht we will have to do IVF .so my mom wants me to get ivf done from there only and she can take care of me:) I talked to the doctor there and she will call in 2 days with the pan.I booked my tckt for 18th august and IVF in sept.DH will join me in sept 1st week as he couldnt get more than 3 week off .Wish me luck hope it works this time..
Good luck everyone..
I definately wil stay tuned to this thread and hope to share more positives.
Stay blessed
Renee
Quinnsmomma - hope the nausea lightens up and leaves you while your littlebaby continues to grow...
kramik - sorry about AF showing up. That *****. Just means more chances to try this cycle.
Ree - So sorry to hear about your loss. Ic annot even imagine what that must be like for you. try and remain strong and positive. God has a plan and will bless you again soon. We are all thinking of you.
mommyoftwo - i can understand not telling anyone until you see/hear a heart beat. Things are very cautious this early in the game. But remain positive and all will be perfect as you exand you growing family...Good luck to you
bfromthed/mwhitcomb - time is just ticking away while you both are on your bcp. Before you know it, those few weeks will be over and done and you'll be back in the ttc game...I am praying for you both.
ALL - been very busy with work and just getting over the cold I picked up last week.
AF arrived yesterday, so Heather, please update the list as I am CD2 today (6/15). Thanks for being such a supportive bunch of women. Still working on ttc naturally but w/o the stress. Praying each month I get my BFP before going on to IVF. Thanks ladies...
Heather - Hope all is well with you. So nice that you are progressing so nicely-time is just flying by...keep up the inspirational work that you do.
xo,
marline
Heather yeah I can't wait the way my #s are going it makes me wonder... but as long as I have one healthy baby I really dont care if there are twins or the sex. But I guess we will see in a few weeks. I am actually getting really excited now that I know that its real. :o)

July will be 1 year since we stopped going to fertility drs and have been trying on our own - so we have decided to go back - since my insurance is changing effectice July 1st and will cover so fertility treatments instead of paying out of pocket like we did before - Our first appointment is July 7th. So this month is gonna be a good month whether or not I come up pregnant because I just am not going to stress over it. Whatever happens happens. heck I may not even OPk this month - LOL -- we will just mess around and see what happens.
Thanks for thinking of me I was home really sick, just didnt get out of bed much, i got more sick and decided to go to my OBGYN for him to prescribe something bec I had a hard time breathing, I went yesterday and he decided to do an ultrasound and we saw one sack with a tiny thing flickering up and down he said thats the heart beat...so guys no twins for me...anyways I am feeling much better today and I am back to work....still will go to my RE app on Friday they will do another U/S and this time I will actually hear the heart beat instead of seeing an up and down flickering.....SO i take it one sac means one baby? right?
all int he 2WW good luck, sorry who got AF, but on this board everyone sure will soon get there BFP!
I hate colds, particularly in the summer, just seems wrong.
MGS don't worry about no symptoms thats perfectly fine with tan I was that way and he was born normally and 8lbs
As for me lots of symptoms several spells of nausea, heartburn, bbs are tender, and tired and I have had some cramps but they said not to worry since my progesterone is still in the 20s so all is good here. I am actually believing it now is happening so I am so happy, unlike the first one and second one. My jeans are so tight allready, they say the uterus gets bigger faster after two so I am showing some to be 5 weeks it scares me. Drs appt is one day next week after I get my beta thursday we will see what day I am to go to the office.

I am so sorry about my absence from the thread. I have been SO sick with nausea and vomiting....It really is hard for me not to complain because I can barely function, but I am so happy that all is going well. I am still receiving IM progesterone, and don't know if that is making it even worse.
So now It actually looks like I had quads initially. They didn't see a sac initially on the first ultrasound. Turns out irregular guy was fine it was just hiding another one. Apparantly that egg split into two and that is how I had 4. One of the split embryos didn't make it and it is still questionable what the other is doing. they see a third heart beat but don't see the rest of the sac etc. The other two are doing very well with nice strong heartbeats...Thank goodness. I had some bleeding last week thinking it might be the third misscarring, but the heartbeat was still there.
Again, I am so sorry that I have not been able to support everyone. CONGRATS to all of you with positive results. That is so wonderful! Shelbell, I am so happy for you! I will say prayers for all of you trying. Please hang in there and keep the faith!! Good positive juju sent to you all!!
I've missed reading up on everyone...Heather, again, you are amazing and I am so happy that you are having such positive results!! I can't wait to know what you are having!
ugh...any suggestions for nausea or vomiting PLEASE send it my way...sleep is all that is helping....
virtual hugs to you all

I have a question to all who are on clomid?
As from 2 months i could not track opks because no LH surge .I tracked from CD 10-20 and my cycles are 30 days. But i went to blood test for progesterone on CD 22 to make sure iam ovulating or not . The result of progesterone was 20.2. She said iam ovulating normal. My question is even though iam ovulating normal it would have and adverse effect of clomid .Just to know because iam new to fertility medications clomid.
I finally got my protocol. My estimated transfer date is July 24-26 depending on if it's a day 3 or day 5 transfer.
shellbell- I hope you feel better real soon, I know how excited you must have been seeing your baby's heart beat!
Ree077- so sorry to hear the bad news:-(
oeticnicky-sorry about your BFN:-(
deviasted: I am not feeling a thing. ;( Not sure what my body is doing. I have been moody, but I am always b***** when I PMS. lol.......I am trying to stay positive and focusing on relaxing in the evenings when I come home from work. It sounds like you're having a truckload of symptoms, so tons and tons of baby dust and sticky vibes for you. Hope you get on the BFP list next week!
ALL: Nothing much here. I am 8DPO IUI and feeling alright....just having severe moodiness, PMDD symptoms. I am not thinking that anything is happening this cycle....but who knows! Either way, we are ok. If IUI #6 (this one) does not work, we are having an IVF in August! Truckloads of SSBD and sticky vibes for all! Let's keep on adding names to the BFP list.
WTF....So frustrating.
As for me, today not much going on, still feel full and maybe some type of cramps Not AF cramps these ones are higher and Just boobs feeling real heavy in the A.M. and when I put my bra on WAAA LAAAA all gone. I was googling so much stuff yesterday and it drove crazy. I was thinking about HPT'ing even though I don't respond well to them, I just thought, Maybe it will work this time. IF I do and it's a huge big fat IF, I'll do it over the weekend.
All the moms to be, Hope you are feeling wonderful.
Poeticnicky--Sorry for your negative. It hurts like hell, but when you get ready to start a new cycle, the excitement will find it's way back to you...Good Luck.
MGS: You are a little ahead of me, but I haven't really had any symptoms yet either. I have had sore bbs here and there. I am afraid to start wishing for symptoms as I don't really want to feel sick. But I can totally relate to wanting to feel pregnant. I am finding relief in the fact that I am not bleeding at all.
Sunshine: I hope you feel better soon. I had hyperemesis with a previous pregnancy years ago and it was awful. If you start to feel dehydrated get to your RE right away. They also have better medications now but I think they only prescribe them if you can't keep anything down at all. Congratulations on your pregnancy and good luck with the nausea.
Poeticnicky: Sorry to hear about AF. I have to tell you I felt so positive about you getting your BFP next month when I read your post. You had "BFP" three times and you didn't have "BFN" at all. And that was in a post telling us about a BFN. You are awesome. I just love to see it when strong women are able to stay positive no matter what happens.
Pearl: I had bleeding starting 6dpt and bled on and off for about 4-5 days. I had spotting at first and then I had some heavier bleeding w/ red blood but never a full flow. The major difference was that I never got any real AF cramps. When I called RE my nurse told me to come in just to confirm that it was negative. Then I got my BFP 10 dpt and all my beta's have been awesome. I am waiting for my u/s next week. I haven't had any bleeding since the day I had my BFP except after intercourse and that was bright red as well, but RE said it was from the cervix. I don't want to give you false hope but I thought I should share my experience. Did you do an hpt?
Silapooh: Good luck to you this month!
Silapooh, thank you so much and I am so happy you got your protocol I know this will be your BFP cycle....good luck and I will pray for you.....
Babymamas, good luck and hope you get a BFP and dont have to go to IVF.
Smahoney, Its a wonderful feeling OMG!!!! but I was scared bec it was so tiny....good luck on you U/S you must me counting every hr.
MGS, how are you?
Heather, I am so happy for you, cant wait to finish this 3 months of worrying....
Shellbell - My appointment for the u/s is this afternoon, so I'm a bit anxious, but otherwise ok. So glad you are feeling better!
Pearl, thinking of you and hoping for good things.
All - best of luck to all on this board. Seems like we are always waiting for some news, here's hoping everyone gets the news they want.
Shellbell thanks for the wishes hon..i will let you all know by noon..
Good luck everyone else waiting for BFP:)
any news? good luck!
Thanks for all the good wishes.
Deviasted/ALL: Those are great symtpoms...and I have some good news. I am starting to feel more symptomatic...my boobs feel extremely heavy. They are starting to hurt more. Also, I felt some mild cramping earlier today....hoping that little tiny dot is finding its way and attaching to the uteran wall. I am also feeling extremely tired and felt even some dizzy spells today. So, I really hope #6 is the one for me! Keep me posted on your symptoms. Sending positive vibes and thoughts to everyone. Let's keep on adding names to the BFP list!
Cargo loads of baby dust to us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for me, I went to the bathroom about an hour ago and I saw blood in the progesterone discharge on the pad (sorry TMI) My heart fell to the floor. I put a new progesterone in and blood was on the applicator. I woke up this morning with zero symptoms. No full feeling, no high cramps and no heavy boobs...I thought something might be wrong but I didn't think I'd see any signs of AF until the weekend. Remembering back to IVF's I have gotten AF on day 9 post IVF before. I always thought it was to early but it happened. I am cycle day 25 and 9 days post IUI so it seems to be AF. I feel like throwing up, I feel so bad.
Does anyone think different then me. I realize I am reaching here, I guess I'm just looking for a positive thought.
poeticnicky- Wow just when you think!!!!!!!!! Now you have another 5 days to be wondering. Are your cycle days normally 30 or above? Good Luck to you and thanks for your prayers. You as well as all the ladies in our world are in mine.
Your right it is another 5 days of waiting and wondering. IT *****!!!!! but thanks again for showing me some love and care. I hope and pray all is well with you.
DEVISTATED : spoting might be from implantation. so just keep faith up.goodluck.
poeticnicky : goodluck to u too.hope u get ur BFP/
Devistated and Poeticknicky - best of luck to both of you. The waiting is so incredibly hard. Try to do something to take your mind off of it - a girls night, massage, a good movie (make sure it has a happy ending).
Thinking of everyone and wishing good luck to all.
ALL: I am C/D 22 and 10 dpo IUI. My boobs are definitely sore. They feel like they have a heartbeat of their own. I still feel pretty bloated and have not felt any cramping today.....but did feel some last night on and off......I am hoping this is good news for me. Keeping you all in my prayers and sending some special vibes to everyone. Sorry about the BFN's. Keep trying. Don't give up your dream. We'll all get there! ;)
It seems like your symptoms are right on time. Do you do beta tests if you don't get AF next tuesday?
Enjoy your day and keep feeling all of those wonderful signs....
If no signs of AF, I will be doing a HPT on tuesday morning. If +, I am going straight into Re's office for a beta. I already made appt... I have to check numbers and start progesterone right away if beta is slow...afraid of a chemical pregnancy all over again :(
Deviasted: Glad to hear of the good news. I have my fingers and toes all crossed for you. I hope our names are both added to the BFP list next week. Keep me updated and take it easy....!!
Agini: How are u feeling, dear? Do u have one or two in there?
MGS: I’m so happy for you! Congrats on a good, strong heartbeat!
Quinns momma: Holy moly! All-day morning sickness does not sound like fun. I hope things start to get better soon! Don’t they say it usually starts to ease up towards the end of the first trimester? I sure hope so!
Smahoney: Great numbers! Sounds like things are definitely moving in the right direction for you! As for your scan on Monday, it will probably just be to make sure they see the sac in your uterus. It’ll probably be too early for anything else, but you might possibly see the yolk sac inside. The fetal pole, which is the beginning stage of the fetus is usually not visible until the sixth week.
Poeticnicky: Wow! What a crazy week, huh? I really hope the first beta was just a fluke and that you’ll get some happy news on Monday! I’ll continue to keep my fingers crossed for you!
Shellbell: Congrats on seeing your little bean and the heartbeat! With one sac, it’s most probably just one baby…unless one embryo split, forming identical twins. But then I would think they would have seen two heartbeats. Hope you’re feeling better from your cold!
Pearl: OMG! I can’t believe they left you hanging yesterday afternoon! Did they call today? Sounds like you have a good plan for August/September if this month does not work out…but I’m still hoping for some good news today! Keep us posted, OK?
Renee (Ree): Glad to hear you’re feeling a little better after all that happened. Hopefully, you’ll get another “sticky” BFP very soon!
Marline: Sorry to heart about AF. She has some nerve showing up at your house! I hope she’ll take a hint and stay away for at least nine months after this visit! SSBD!
Mandy: Best of luck with your third beta today! I’m sure it will be a good, strong number!
Kramik: That’s great news about your new insurance! I’m still hoping for some good news this month, but if not, at least you have a new game plan starting in July ;-)
Fairyzduzt: I’m so sorry to hear about the death in your family. That is so sad. I can totally understand postponing your IVF for a month. Keep us posted, OK?
Chris (sunshine): Holy moly! Triplets!!! I’m so sorry one didn’t make it and that the third one is questionable…but I’m glad to hear the other two are doing well and looking healthy! As for the nausea, unfortunately, I don’t really have any suggestions…but hopefully it’ll get better now that you’re getting closer to the second trimester. Hugs back!
Silapooh: Yay! So glad to hear you got your protocol! Can’t wait to celebrate a BFP with you at the end of July!
Sahiti: I know some women have problems detecting their LH surge, even though they are in fact ovulating. A progesterone of 20.2 is excellent! So the clomid definitely worked for you this month! Anything over 10 indicates a good ovulation!
BabyMamas: Yay! Your symptoms sound very promising! I definitely hope #6 is the lucky one for you! Sending you a truckload of SUPER STICKY baby dust!!! Oh, and my next ultrasound is in about two weeks…so we’ll see if they’ll be able to see anything then ;-)
Devistated: Oh no! I hope it’s not AF. Let’s hope it’s implantation bleeding instead! Got my fingers crossed!
Bfromthed: Yeah, I know…but you’ll be back before you know it! In the meantime, maybe take the opportunity to do all those things you’re not suppose to do when TTC ;-)
Agini: Good luck tomorrow! I think I remember that your ultrasound was on the same day as my sister’s birthday…the 19th…right? Can’t wait to hear how it goes!
SSBD to everyone!

I would love to join this group. You are all so postive! I am on Clomid Cycle # 4. I had a scan on Monday and had 3 follies! 18/16/15!! I did HCG shot on Tuesday 6/16 and IUI this morning. I am now in my 2WW. It is torture.
Jamie: Welcome to the thread! I'll add your info next time I update the list! Your follicle sizes sound great! They should have all been mature by the time you triggered! Best of luck this month! I hope it's a BFP in the making!
No blood on the applicator, I feel like new money. SWEEEEW!
So that makes last siting of blood early this morning only on T.P.
Anyone who has gotten a BFP--Ladies, Did any of you have a rash under your breasts?
I've had it for two days. (wondering if it's a good sign) and I also keep feeling a gush and I think it's AF and when I check it's not. It's just what I believe to be the progesterone discharging BUT it gushes out once in a while??? Feels like water.
Thanks
babymomas09--How do you feel today? I am still blood free and I'm feeling crampy.
Heather5: Thanks for all the good wishes. I am very excited and looking fwd to testing Tues if no AF. I do feel that I am preggers....but I've been wrong before. lol Sending you some sticky vibes and looking fwd to hearing about your next US...so interested in finding out gender....;)
You should definitely switch and tell them exactly why you are switching. I have to assume that these clinics are suffering in this economy as well, so the fact that they are losing patients because of bad service should be a big deal.
I still have my fingers and toes crossed for you. How are you feeling now? Any more signs of anything?
Pearl, I am so sorry, thats so unfair I would call them and so tell them off, thats really not nice you do deserve an answer even if its not positive.....I would tell them off OMG! i am raging for you, gave me their # let me tell them off for you... Anyways I am hoping and praying its a positive.....take care sweetie.
All- good luck in the 2ww.
All BFN-so sorry and keeping the faith that next cycle will be a positive one.
I read both test within 3 to 5 min.....any input would be great thanks!!
Everyone thanks for the positive words you all r awesome...
COngrats everyone who got BFP's ,got to see the little bean and hear the heartbeats:)
Goodluck to all waiting for BFP's ..we will get it soon..yayyy:)
yeah I know its weird huh. I just talked to the nurse and she said she was happy with my #'s and being I have no history of a eptopic pregnancy that they arent too worried. I have a scan a week from monday since I will be 6 weeks on the weekend. So all is good here. I was worried about the #'s but he said they were on track and a little higher than normal so I am not to worried anymore. Unless I start having major cramps ( I am having lt ones on the rt side but I ovulated on the rt side) or any other major symptoms I should be ok no more betas so I don't have to freak out anymore. :o) My due date is (as of right now) 02/20/2010 and I tend to go into labor at around 37 weeks so we might have our babies close together. I had tons of symptoms but now they are few and stronger. I have bad indegestion and sickness to certain smells and I really don't have an appetite. Everyonce in a while I will have tender bbs but not constantly. And I have found out if I wait and eat about 2 hours after I get up I don't get sick. So all is well here. How are you feeling?
Shellbell - I still don't really have any symptoms, aside from being fairly tired during the day. I've felt dizzy a few times when I stand up too quickly, but no nausea or anything like that, so far anyway. I hope yours doesn't increase at all.
Pearl - I'm so sorry it was negative, but I think it's great you are so excited for ivf. I felt the same way after many months of trying, clomid, etc., I felt like I was being more proactive and it felt good when we started ivf. Best of luck to you! Make sure you rest a lot after the transfer - that's my big thing. I think you need 2-3 days of bedrest after transfer, even though the dr's don't tell you it's needed.
Patience - Sounds to me like BFP!!! I had the same thing, where the lines were light, really light, but they kept getting darker. I've never done IUI, so I don't know the timing, but when would AF be due for you? Keep us updated!
All - I'm so sorry for those that haven't received the news they wanted yet, it will come. I'm thinking of you and sending strong sticky vibes your way.
Pearl. When is your IVF schedule maybe we will be cycling together. We will get our BFP at the same time.
ALL: the ladies who got BFN our time is coming it hard to think not this month. But there is a blessing in store for us this month... Together we will keep each other going..sticky baby vibes to all of us still going for the BFP!!!!!
sending love and baby dust to all of you..
Nicky
Cd 2. clomid 50mg to start on cd 5
MSG: your numbers look great!
Babysmama: Feeling tired and sleepy are very good signs of pregnancy. I AM SO EXCITED! This is so your month :~) I'll continue praying for you and ssbd!
All: one more week of b/c pills! YAY!!!! I am so happy for those big fat positives, and I continue to pray for those in the 2ww and those who are waiting to start and get their BFP!!!! Sending tons and tons of sticky baby dust to everyone!!!!
Devistated : thats a good news , iam sure it must be implantation spoting.about rash iam not sure, but i got this bumps around my nipple area sorry for TMI thats a good sign its called oilgland which helps to moist ur that place.when is ur B/W????

ALL : my update:- 19th june is very lucky for me ;- my b'day .so many things to celeberate today,went 4 my 1st trimister U/S,everything is so far so good,we able to see our baby so clear today, baby was fliping around during U/S it was owsome,& when nurse took a picture to give us baby had one hand on forhead, they did NT test also everything is fine, gues what nurse even tell us the sex ,she said its too early but still basied on her 10 years experience she is guesing its a boy,huhoooooooooooooooooo. we r so happy so happy.
What was the nurse basing her prediction that it's a boy on? Heartrate or did she actually see something indicating it was a boy?
