Quick Question

Hello Ladies- hoping you can shed some light on this while I wait for a phone call back from DC. I started my Estrogen patches yesterday and today after I went jogging I had some bleeding. It has slowed but is still there. Last time I did patches I didn't have this problem. I'm concerned b/c I'm supposed to be building a lining, not shedding it! Any of you had this happen before? I called my DC but no phone call back yet. Thought i'd inquire here while I was waiting, you girls are always a wealth of knowledge!

Heart Can I join in?

Hi gals -

I wanted to check in here and see if I can join in? Is this DE and IVF site only for those trying to get pregnant or for those who were successful with DE and IVF as well?

I am 15 weeks pregnant with twins (boy and a girl), used a DE and it was my first time trying IVF.

Let me know if I can jump in! Or, if there is another link to those who used DE and pregnant, please let me know.

Take care!

Igloo – Stubborn poop? Hmmm, something I have never been called before and after 15 years in HR that is saying something Congrats!

Faith – I did have trouble this morning as well. Glad bed rest isn’t as bad as expected. When does DH come home? If I remember he was gone for a bout 3 weeks.

Blue – Sending you bucket loads of. Post tomorrow when you can to let us know how it goes. Thanks for the good wishes.

Jen – I didn’t use patches but after I came off the BCP I had a really heavy flow for way longer then usual and I was nervous, because as you said, I was supposed to be building a lining. Everything turned out fine and I will keep my fingers crossed that everything is fine for you.

thefox: of course you are welcome! .
As far as I know, this site is for those who used donor eggs, regardless of whether they are pregnant or had prior babies. Using an ED for IVF is very specialized. So, good to have you here and congratulations on your beautiful babies.

Hi Everyone! Sorry I have not posted in a few days but it has just been crazy around this house! I can't believe how much I've been missing!! I did want to share with everyone that I went for my u/s this morning and I am extremely excited to share my joy with all of you!! TWO perfect, beautiful beans!! YES..TWINS!!! YAY! The nurses were shocked because they could already see 2 strong heartbeats and I'm only 5 weeks!! I feel SO SO blessed! Bean A measured 3 and bean B measured 2.8...bigger than they were expecting! We were all luaghing, hugging and crying this morning!! I feel like I can finally breathe again! One more u/s on the 31st and then I will be graduating to an OBGYN on August 12th! Thank you all so much for being so supportive!! I so wish I had time to write personals but I have to get packing for our trip in the morning! I will be checking in when i can from the road. In the mean time you will all be in my thoughts and prayers and I will be back in 2 weeks!!!
Hugs~Karma

I hoped you guys would remember what happened not even a month ago regarding the removal of users ability to post.

I'm sorry - but this thread is peppered with far to much of the "The moderators are lame" posts to clean up.

Bottom line - we remove stuff that gets people banned folks - it's not here anymore. You don't get to see why the decision was made - because it violated our rules.

At any rate - this thread is closed.
