Yah Helen!!! Awesome news! I am still so excited for you.
Amberlee.. Great news regarding your follies. 20 is a great number! It's getting close to retrieval.. such exciting stuff! Do you feel swollen yet?
Krista.. Don't you fret now, child. Just remember Jen didn't see very many either in the beginning. I bet theres a couple hiding somewhere. Are you stimming now???
Kari...I bet you are freaking just waiting for your beta. I would totally break down and POAS. But then again, I am an absolute control freak, hell.. I tested out my entire beta last month like a big spaz!
Renell.. Ditto what I said to Kari... Good luck on your beta! Hopefully the swollen bellies are swollen for a darn good reason!
(Let us know if you break down and POAS.. I know I won't think less of you. I already plan to POAS before my beta!)
Miky.. Your cyst better go away, so you can be doing IVF when I am. I COMMAND THEE CYST TO GO AWAY!!! Ok, that should do it :)
Jen..How you doin on the TWW so far? It s+u+cks rotten eggs, I know. Head down to Pinks or Roscoe's C+ W's and get yourself some awesomeness!!! (I used to live in LA & Santa Barbara.. back in 1991-92. Went to college at UCSB)
I am actually ovulating today.. and by the feel of it, one on each side. Nice bloating and pain on both sides which always makes for a romantic evening of BDing. But, Ive been busy trying the past 2 nights and then again tonight. that's all I have to report.. but of course in the back of my head I know I'll be on the IVF train in 2 weeks. If not, then I have alot of meds to get rid of!
Hope everyone is doing well..
Sally

I felt like the call will never come. My new beta is 2183 (from 101 a week ago) and progesterone 35.2 (up from 13.2). They were hoping for anything above 1000 so 2183 is a good #. Unfortunately, I mentioned some brownish spotting today :( The nurse told me not to worry about the spotting since brown means old blood. Easier said than done!
My u/s is scheduled for June 2.
My u/s is scheduled for June 2.
well here is half the update, as soon as they call with my blood results ill finish the update, i just wanted to share that i have 20 follies ranging between 9-22mm, woohoo (most are on the higher end between 15-22) YAY. the nurse said that my DR is going to go over my charts again and my blood when it gets in and let me know whether to do 1 or 2 more nights of meds. the nurse believes that i will be doing 2 more nights and retrievel will be on Thursday. im so excited! will give more later...
Thanks girls for the encouragement. I needed it...
Helen, been thinking about you and your appt tomorrow...keep us posted!
Sally, GET BUSY SISTER!
Miky, Been cursing your cyst for you...it worked for me!
Renell and Kari...I can NOT wait for your BFPs!!! Yippee!!!
Asking4...almost there! Hang in there!
Jen, How are you feeling?!?
Dang, I would love for all of you to come over tonight and sit on my back patio with a large glass of wine! Ok, so that obviously isn't possible, but a nice thought anyway.
Night all!

Hey Krista, Helen is right... There may be more follies in hiding. But either way, don't fret as quality is way more important than quantity and you've got some good ones to work with. When is your next monitoring appt?
Asking4, thrilled to hear that so far all looks good! Fingers crossed for news on trigger shot tomorrow! Go follies go!
Miky just a few more days and we'll be hearing that cyst is all gone and you'll get the go-ahead to move forward!
Sally, hope you ate having fun working on getting all knocked up!
Helen, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow my friend!!! Hope you are simply one of the lucky ones that doesn't struggle with the ugly pg symptoms... I hear little boys tend to be less hard on expectant mommies... are you ready for a little boy! =) =) =)
Renell I know just what you mean about the preggo looking belly. My OHSS symptoms subsided for a couple days but they are back. I was so uncomfortable last nite I really didnt get much sleep. I think these swollen bellies of ours this late past trigger is a good sign! Hope you are holding up well!!! My beta is Wed... yours is Thurs right?

Krista,
I started out with 8 follicles and we saw 8 again on my 2nd u/s. I remember coming home from my u/s appt and crying. Then, my 3rd u/s showed that I had 11 and 2 days later 16 were retrieved. It's not unusual for some follies to hide so you may have more than what u/s shows. And even with 6, as long as you have a few good quality embryos (or not so good as in my case) you will be OK. Do NOT throw in the towel yet.
Miky,
I am doing a cyst vanquishing dance for you. I hope it's out on Thursday!!!
Kari, Renell,
your wait is almost over. Sorry about the anxiety but it will only get worth after the BFP.
Asking4aMiracle,
good luck Monday! Your retrieval is almost here, yeeh!!
Sally,
if you are reading this message you should get off line and work on that BFP!! You know what to do :)
I am OK, still zero symptoms of any kind. I am not nauseous, tired or sleepy and my bbs are not sore either. Hoping that no AF is a good sign but will know more tomorrow what's going on.
