Hi, I've also noticed that no one really post like before...even on the other thread I'm on...anyway, how are you? Where are you with your cycle?

Hope everyone is doing well:)

Hello All

No one really posts anymore. How is everyone ?

[Meadow841]

Hello! If my IUI doesn't work this month we are moving onto IVF for my november/december cycle. Good luck to everyone!

[Mybabypooh]

Hi everyone,

I had my Lupron evaluation today and everything went well so, I stop the Lupron and start the Del Estrogen today. My transfer should be approx. Nov 3-5.

Good luck to all and God speed:-)

We are actually going to do another fresh cycle... I have meet my deductible and out of pocket max for the year so we wont have to pay much. Plus after December of this year i will no longer have fertility coverage. I am currently covered under COBRA from my old job that insurance covers fertility. Effective Jan 2010 I will no longer me eligible for this so i will be on my new company's insurance....unfortunately we dont have fertility coverage there.

So this will be our 3rd and final fresh cycle.... we are PRAYING for the best. Good luck to all

I know how you feel.  We have been trying to get pregnant for over 4 years.  We have done it on our own, 4 IUI's, 3 fresh IVF cycles and 1 frozen cycle.  We were successful on our 3rd fresh cycle after our frozen cycle.  It is great that you have some left to do frozen as those are cheaper.  It is hard to go through it, but once you get passed this you will have your focus again and you will know what to do.  Always have hope and never give up.  It is hard, I know.  I have been there, but I refused to give up.  Have faith in God.  He will bless you in His time.  You are young and that is on your side!

[Mybabypooh]

Lyssa8288- Wow, you are so young but, that is a good thing! It will happen soon, have faith and believe that it will happen. This is my 4th attempt and I always feel like giving up but I keep trying:-)

[Lyssa8288]

When we started all this we said we would try three times and thats it... we have done two and decided we will try this one last time....it will be this year for after this year i will no longer have fertility insurance coverage. I meet with my doctor on Friday the 23rd and i'll have to see what he thinks. My sister has offered to be a gestational surrogate for us if this attempt doesnt work. We have 6 frozen embies from my second IVF... and praying we will have additionals from this 3rd try.  We are just trying to cope....all of our brothers and sisters have kids. Most of our friends do to... so its like noone close to me knows what I am going through. Yes I am young (22), DH (26) and i think that makes it even harder! IT shouldnt be this hard for a couple our age to become pregnant!

I am so sorry to hear about your BFN.  I know how heart breaking it is.  Please don't give up hope, it will happen.  I can empathize with you as I have been there so many times before.  Please know we are here for you!  Take care!!!  Jen

[Mybabypooh]

All- thank you so much for all the positive words, it means so much. I started Lupron today and will have my Lupron evaluation on the 14th.

Lyssa8288- so sorry to hear about you BFN :(...cry as much as you want if it makes you feel better..that's what I did.

[fairyzduzt]

lyssa- I am so sorry.Try to stay strong. Are you planning on trying again? I hope you do. Best of luck to you, I will keep you in my prayers!

[Lyssa8288]

I went in for my beta this morning...unfortunately it was BFN AGAIn..... sooo devasting...not sure what to do or think! :(

[jenjen12]

Good luck tomorrow with your beta test!  I am sending you positive sticky vibes!!!!  Please let us know how it goes!!!!

[jenjen12]

Lyssa8288-  I had some symptoms....mostly that I was very tired.  I did have some spotting about 4-5 days before my beta.  I heard some people have that and some don't.  But, I'd never had that before or the lethargy.  Don't read too much into symptoms...some people don't have any at all.  You will know soon enough!  Only 1 more day.  I'm sure it will be positive.  Keep the faith!

Fairyzduzt-Wow....you are right ahead of me!  That is awful that your morning sickness has been so terrible.  Mine seems to be getting worse as far as being nauseated more often and not really wanting to eat or getting nauseaous after I've eaten a little bit.  I have not thrown up yet.  I have not gained any weight or lost any.  I go up a couple of pounds and then go back down...don't know if that is good or bad.  I go for my first OB on Monday and I'll have lots of questions!  It is so exciting to say I am pregnant!  I don't know how long you've been trying to get preggers, but we've been trying 4 years.  I have to remind myself every day that I am pregnant.  I love it, though.  I don't even mind the symptoms, I just thank God, because it's for a good cause!  

I took my last PIO shot tonight!!!!  Yippeeeee!!!!

jen- You are right behind me my due date is april 29th. I am 10 weeks today and will be release to my regular ob/gyn on the 19th. At my first u/s my little ones heartbeat was 160 at each u/s it increased and my last one it was 190, my tech said she would guess a girl because of the heartrate. ( only time will tell ). So glad to hear that you are doing well. I have had the worst morning sickness, I have lost a total of 18 lbs in the last 6 weeks dr. is not very happy about that so I have started a med that is suppose to help with the vomiting. I hope it does. Take care of your self, I'll be looking forward to hear how you are progressing.

Mybabypooh -I got my BFP on my 2nd fresh cycle, it is diffrent for each of us stay positive. Best of luck to you, I hope this is your time to get your BFP.

Lyssa - Can't wait to read your BFP.

[Lyssa8288]

Mybabypooh- Good luck on your 4th cycle... Im currently on my 2 IVF cycle...Monday is my test...Im nervous! Keep us posted on your progress!

JenJen12- I feel fine... alot calmer and better than I did the first time around. I am better prepared this time! I dont really have any symptoms. Did you have any before testing? I am SOO nervous and anxious.

I have three sisters and they all have kids...two of them are pregnant right now too.... and its hard for me! I Am very happy for them but i SOO wish it was me. Is that bad?

I am sick of the PIO shots to ...it gets annoying. Take care and rest!

[jenjen12]

Good luck to you on your 4th IVF.  I did 3 fresh and 1 FET.  I got BFP on this last fresh cycle.  Stay positive and keep the faith.  You will see your dreams come true!!

[jenjen12]

How are you feeling?  Any symptoms?  You don't have too much longer!!!  Are you getting nervous?  

I am doing well....so very tired, though.  I am 7 wks 1 day!  My due date is May 18th.  I think it is perfect....to be pregnant during the winter....no so hot!

I am still taking my PIO shots!  I am sick of them.  I only have about 2 days left...my doctor told me to take the remaining amount and then stop.  

[Mybabypooh]

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and I am acutally on my 4th IVF cycle. I am presently on BCP and will start lupron on OCT 6. Good luck to everyone!

[Lyssa8288]

CONGRATS! I can only imagine how happy and emotional you were when you heard the heartbeat! So you had 3 blast transferred and pregnant with a singleton? Thats great! I had a baby dream last night... I went for my test on monday and it was POSITIVE...i went back Wednesday and my numbers were increasing just as the expected! It was great!! i didnt want to wake up! :) Good luck monday! SO when is your due date? How many weeks are you ??

[jenjen12]

My u/s went great!  We are pregnant with a singleton!  Heart rate was 130 bpm, and they said they would guess a boy because of the lower heart rate.  The range they look for is 120-150, so we were right there!  It was very exciting to hear the heart beat.  The clinic staff was so nice. I cried when we left.  They released us to go to our regular doctor.  My first appt is Monday!!!  

You keep resting up!!

[Lyssa8288]

I am feeling fine. ANXIOUS. hoping and Praying that i have a positive test this time. I work in an office as an accountant so i am sitting all day i have a foot stool and even put my feet up! Good luck at your ultrasound today! Im sure everything will go great!  I will say a prayer for you. My test is next monday....i cant wait..I tested at home last time but I am trying not to this time!

Keep my posted on everything!

[jenjen12]

Hey there!  How are you feeling?  My clinic asks you to do 48 hours of the same.  I usually took extra days off for good measure and juse eased back into regular activity.  We had 3 blasts left to freeze.  No, I never took a HPT prior to a blood test at the clinic.  I just couldn't.  But, when I went this last time they did a rapid blood test on me and found out I was pregnant before the actual level came back.  They called me on speaker phone to tell me, but then I had to act surprised when the doctor called me.  I was so happy, I have to say.  They saved the rapid test for me to use in the baby book.

I go tomorrow afternoon for my u/s.....send up some prayers!  I am so ready to be released to my OB  doctor.  Keep resting!!!

[Lyssa8288]

They say to be a "coach potato" for 48 hours after transfer... Did you have any additional embies to freeze this cycle? we wound up freezing 6. Did you wait for your Preg test at your clinic? or did you give in and test at home? I gave in last time but i am TRYING to wait this time..
