Oh no I was totally just kidding! I hope you know that! Sorry! Its funny- DH and I are the oposite- we have tons of boys names we like but are stuped on girls!

Wow, a lot of activity on a thread since last evening.

Lizzie: my protocol is a little different from yours. I started Lupron (10 units at 7am) on day 22 of my cycle. After I got AF, on day 3 of baseline I started Estrace 3 times a day. After tomorrow's U/S and bloodwork, I'm gonna continue Lupron X1 and Estrace x3 untill 8/14 (2 weeks of Estrace total) . Then looks like our protocols get similar - Saturday (5 days before FET) they'll give me a gigantic dose PIO shot, I'll start Medrol x2, Prometrium x3, Crinone x2, Doxycicline x2 and decrease Estrace to x2, stop Lupron. Whatever the protocols our RE's have, the most important is if they lead us to become mothers - the result we all desire.

Audra - is your RE's office only providing beta number after you've had your second beta? I've read on these forums before that that was the case with somebody else's RE as well. Congrats on your -- may God protect your little one (s).

Silly Girl!! Of course I know that! I know what you mean. I used my boy name with my son I really liked and now I just can't find anything I really like. Good thing I have time!!

casb77- Sorry about you bfn.
Seems like everyone is progressing nicely.
I seem to be the opposite on the names, DH and I had a lot of boy names and couldn't agree on a girls. Good thing we had 2 boys.

Audra – I’m sure your Dr will be able to tell you if it is safe to b/f on the medication. Even if it is not though, your little one will do great either way.

Lizzie – I think I am doing a lot better about it being one. I just had to grieve the other embaby and the fact that it was so close to losing my FIL kind of compounded it. I am very excited about my little bean. I got pretty bloated during my cycle too. I hope this cycle goes fast for you.

Welcome Vickie – So sorry to hear about your loss. Hope this cycle is the one.

Lindsay – Sounds like you are having a better day today – I am glad.

Irena – I hope you are feeling a little better today.

Megan – Glad everything is ok.

Dre – My understanding of embryo glue is that it is a solution that they put the embies in before transfer that is supposed to help them be more likely to implant. It doesn’t actually stick them in place or anything. Some REs think it is useful some don’t. I hope you and your Mom can have a really nice talk about all of this, sometimes it’s hard to know what to say in difficult situations. As far as names for a boy Jacob William – William is my Dad’s name, probably Jake for short. For a girl Virginia Louise – my 2 grandmothers’ names (I’ve had it picked out since middle school!). For short we are thinking probably Lulu or maybe Lucy, but who knows she could be more of a Ginny or a Virginia – we’ll have to see.

Audra – My RE only gives the number if I specifically ask for it. Also my PIO was increased to1.5cc from 1cc about that time and that is where it stayed until last week. Now I’m back down to 1cc. I was worried about the increase, but everything was fine. They just wanted to see it a little higher than it was.

Welcome Casb77 – Hopefully your one little snowbaby will be the little one you have always dreamed of.

Ryan – I love Lily and Sadie and I like Ben too would you go with Benjamin or just Ben? Sorry you didn’t get to get off the PIO, hopefully soon.

Jenna – Good to hear from you. You start Lupron tomorrow right?

Well I felt well enough to drag myself (well and 4 kids) to the gym today. I just swam laps with my dd for a while, but goodness am I out of shape. I have to make getting to the gym more of a priority I think. I weighed myself today for the first time since early June and I am up almost 10lbs! I think I need to slow the wight gain a bit or I’ll wind up gaining 60 lbs again and it’s only 1 baby this time.

Have a good night everyone
Hugs
Kimmy

Martieroo – Back to school? Are you a teacher?

Dre – I think embryo glue is pretty new. Some REs use it and some say it really doesn’t help. It is supposed to somehow help the embryos implant – I think. You showed amazing restraint to not tell your mil. Are you a Target addict too?

Audra – Oh how frustrating to not have the number. What were they thinking!?!? Don’t they know how we obsess over every level of every test – and to not give you the number for your beta! Congrats, though. You are pregnant!

Casb – so sorry about your BFN, but glad you are here and moving forward to the next step.

Lindsay – Definitely keeping up those prayers for you.

Ryan – If you like Cade, you could also use it for a boy’s name. I’ve known a few little boys named Cade.

I had a pretty good day. No news here. Though I do feel like an enormous blimp, this frozen cycle seems to be a whole lot easier than the fresh cycle was. It especially helps to be able to exercise. I’ve been trying to do something every day. Today, DD, DD’s friend, DH, and I went for a bike ride on the greenbelt near our house. Everything was really green and pretty after all of the rain from the tropical storm. Tomorrow I’ll be putting finishing touches on the baby shower I’m helping give. Working on this shower really hasn’t bothered me at all. I was a little worried it would, but I’ve been fine.

Good night everyone!

Hi Ladies - I just wanted to pop by catch up on everyone and say HI!! It sounds like everyone it doing well. How exciting to be thinking about names .

Can't wait to hear about the new beans. Best of luck to all those waiting for ET.

I go today to see what my protocol will be can't wait.

[CNYCPL]

Kimmy- yeah i start the Lupron today. Of course DH is away again so I have to do it myself. Gotta remember all this as its been awhile since ive had to do it.

[southhampton]

Jenna - are you doing FET or IVF?

Samantha

[kimic322]

Linz- I know the feeling. I am waiting for the "stick" too, and I know that it is going to be devastating if it doesn't work. I had a similar friend who got pregnant a month off birth control. Talk about hitting your head into a wall! It's so frustrating.

Did you have lower back pain with the progesterone? My back has been killing me since I started the shots.

I am doing IVF.We are all out of frozen ones. Hopefully this time we will get lots of eggs to freeze so if we ever have to do it again we can do frozen, its so much easier.

[Martieroo]

I am a teacher - I will be at the High School next year!

[casb77]

Does anyone know if royal jelly & bee pollen have any effect on a FET, good or bad? We just have the one frozen totsicle, so if it doesn't survive the thaw or if it just plain doesn't work, we'll go to another fresh cycle right away. To get that three months for optimum results, I restarted the stuff this morning. Any thoughts?
