Cycle Buddies 2009 - the saga continues

[Heather5]

Hi girls! Hope you're all doing well! It's been a little while since last time I posted, and before I give you guys my update, I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words in posts, messages and notes I have recieved! I really appreciate all the support! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. As many of you know, we've had family in town for the past 16 days, and then my husband was laid off in the middle of their visit, which forced us to make a decision whether or not to continue with the IVF. We have decided to go ahead with it, since insurance wouldn't have covered it anyway...and my DH has a temporary contracting job at the moment, so hopefully everything will work out.

I've also had to "sneak" out and get a whole bunch of tests done, since we haven't told our family we're planning on doing IVF, so that was an added stress. But I'm now finally done with everything, and our visitors have left, so I'm officially back!!!! I started lupron 20 units two days ago, and had my trial transfer and water sono that same day. I also got my protocol, and I will be on 3 repronex vials and 1 menopur vial a day once I start the stims. I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing, but also excited. I just REALLY hope it works!

OK! Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do....I'll post again later once I've read through the posts on the old thread. Also, if everyone could please give me their current cycle days and info, I'll start a new list.

SSBD!

Heather :-)

Just found out on monday that IVF worked! I am PREGNANT! The only problem is that my beta numbers are rising slowly, so i am hoping they pick up some speed quickly because it is starting to worry me.

I had some spotting late in the night on 5dpiui and then on 6dpiui. I called up RE and was told that "its normal, sometime it happens, etc". But am really worried since 5/6dpiui is too early for implantation. The spotting stopped later in the evening on 6dpiui and am fine now. But still am worried, never had this before and this is my 4th iui.

hoping4mybaby - thanks for the kind words.  I've had a few woe is me days, but now I'm trying to look forward to the future.  I'm blessed enough to already be a mom so spending time with my son this past weekend has helped ease some of the pain.

berrykkiss - Welcome!  Sending prayers your way.  I also have some health issues that I've been putting aside so I understand the urgency.  Hopefully, you'll get your BFP soon.  Good luck to you.
