Cycle Buddies 2009

[kramik107]

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

Sending tons of SSBD to all.

I really hope this is it for you....will keep you in my thoughts tonight!

I'm headed to Egg Retrieval tomorrow...very, very nervous...took the day off, so will check in when I get back home...plan on sleeping the day away...anyone with experience with ER, it would be great to hear from you!

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

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

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

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


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

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

[wannahavababy]

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

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

[Tucsonmama]

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

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

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

[misslissah]

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

[kramik107]

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

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

[bfromthed]

Test! :) I cat wait til we cn get back into the game! Good luck ladies God Bless! :)

[cb_hoping]

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

[BabyMamas09]

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

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

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

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

SSBD and sticky vibes to all!

[hannah1505]

Fingers crossed for al those that are still in the 2WW -

Hannah1505 - where is the clinic at that does free IVF when you donate half your eggs? Do you know the name of it?

[Baby4Shellbie]

Hello Everyone,

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

Any insight would be helpful!  Thanks!!

[Baby4Shellbie]

Hey there...my period was about a week late on Lupron as well.  My nurse told me it could be up to 10-12 days late...hope that helps!!

[bfromthed]

kramik:Sorry to hear about af coming.....

Shellbie: Glad to know you are feeling better today! Good luck I will be watching for you post!

All; Ladies I hope all is well and know just because we are "taking a break" that I still pray for you guys on a daily basis and hope you are not forgetting about me! Peace much love and God Bless!

[Baby4Shellbie]

Thank you so much!  I will be thinking and praying for you too!  Best of luck with your surgery...get some good take out and just relax!

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