Well Syreeta, have been thinking about you all weekend. Sounds like you are finally approaching time....keeping my !!

I have been having alot of those "follicle growing" cramps the past 2 days. Last time this happened I ended up with 20 eggs But, this time I am praying for quality not quantity.
Our DS is getting delivered to the clinic today- they just have to drive it over from the bank which is about 15 mins away. I am getting excited!!!

Hope everyone else is well!
Love to All!

Wow - how exciting is all of this!!

June - I'm so crossing my fingers for you!!! I hope Thursday comes fast!

Kuddley - Crossing my fingers for you for AF to rear her ugly head. What are your plans for after AF comes?

Anna - I'm so happy that you and DH are trying again!!! yeah!!!

Jen - how are you feeling...when do you get to take a test?

Hello to everyone that I missed!

Well, as for me, I go back to the dr. tomorrow. We have our IVF consult at 145, so they said to come early to b/w and u/s done, bc I'm definitely on Day 1 or 2 by now. Stupid body screwed me up ...of all months it does it during my monitoring month...go figure!! Anyway, then they will put me on Clomid for 4-5 days, then more b/w and u/s's. I'm still confused on why exactly I have to go on clomid since I will not use it during IVF. Ohwell, I just do whatever they say at this point.

Syreeta - I'm right behind you. *sigh* I'm on cycle day 37 since my last flow. It sucks. I'm all ready to start and decides to go on vacation. I'm almost to the point of putting in a Tampon just to see if anything is in there stuck. My husband says he knows it'll be any day because he's breaking out in pimples - and that only happens around this time of the month.

Good luck to everyone!

Hi ladies, Sorry I've been out of the loop for a while. We moved last weekend and it took a while to get the computer room set up. This weekend we had a little warning. I was spotting on Saturday morning when I woke up and the doctor met me at the hospital. I thought it was really nothing but apparently I don't take things as seriously as everybody else. They admitted me for the day and monitored both babies and did ultrasounds and bloodwork. The one nurse kept scaring me because everytime I moved in the bed she would come in and ask if I was Ok becuase the monitor showed I was having a contraction. She wouldn't take my word for it that I am just restless in bed. Everything now seems fine but the concensus is that I was doing too much with the unpacking and starting back to work. I have learned my lesson but it's tough becaus ehubby is the kind who thinks that if I'm resting on the couch he should be too. This house has to get put together and I don't like my Mom doing it all.

So I'm am so excited for you Jen, I couldn't find it exactly but I think I read that you put in 3 ebabies? You know I'm praying hard for you.
Anna- The wait for Aunt Flo business is for the birds. I can't wait to hear what you do for a frozen transfer. I'm praying hard for you too.
All my other friends in waiting, You'll be there before you know it.

[SaraNJ]

Anna - Yeah!! That is so exciting that you are going to go for it this month. Hope AF shows up soon.

Kuddley - I have crazy cycles also and I know they can drive you crazy. I was just wondering, since I need to get my period in Dec./Jan. and it usually is not cooperative, could they give you progestrone to start your period so that you can start your IVF cycle?

Hi to everyone else...Sounds like everyone is going to be starting really soon, How exciting!!! I feel like I will be here waiting forever! Hope it's worth it!!

[KuddleyGal]

Hey gals!!

Lin - I am SO SO glad that the babies are okay, and look Missy, you need to now slow your pace down!!

June - Praying you have high quality and high numbers, and how exciting, Thursday will be here in no time!!!

(Here's the story of whats going on with me)
I'm waiting for AF so I can get another HSG and I have to do more blood tests. I am just trotting along doing little things until my insulin levels come down. My RE says that with high insulin levels there is a greater chance of having a m/s so although it is frusterating to wait and wait, I'm willing to keep working hard at getting those numbers down so that I can start the IVF cycle. I'm glad my RE is precautious, he knows this is our only chance since we can't afford another cycle. And I don't qualify for the guarantee program because of my PCOS. Once this cycle finally shows up, HSG. Then next cycle, will be the mock transfer. Then hopefully, by then with my fingers crossed and loads of prayers we will finally be able to start our cycle!!!

Thank you all for the vibes... come on sister, where are you at?

[J*e*n*_78]

Hi guys!!

Anna you cracked me up with the tampon line!! You know, you should plan a weekend of camping..... in the middle of nowhere... and sure enough will come.
Syreeta.. you too!! Or a float trip, Looooooves float trips!!

Lin... Take it easy!! Kick hubby off the couch if you must! Moving is one of the most stressful things though so I know it is hard.

Oh my.... I feel like tomorrow is the real start to everything. Get my sonohyst and TET. I just hope everything is OK with me. I don't think i can handle anything else right now!! It all becomes so real when you ready yourself to write that first big check to the hospital. Uggh. Maybe it is tax deductible? They ARE medical expenses after all?! Have a good tuesday everyone... I'll keep you all posted! Good luck to everyone else this week!!!!!!!!!!

[Junebug]

Ugh- have been waiting for call from clinic to see if b/w nd u/s are ok and if I go in for ER on Thursday.
I hate waiting like this! Makes me paranoid that there is a problem...

Wish I could wave my magic wand and make the phone ring!!

[J*e*n*_78]

Hi all!!

June you are so close! I am so excited for you and all will go well!!

Baby- Hubby and I are excited too and were coming up with names over lunch today! I know it is premature but we can't help it! Gotta stay optimistic!!

sonohyst and US went well today thank goodness. She found nothing wrong with me thus far. Just need to wait for our b/w to come back. Can't say I was a fan of the crampy feeling the sonohyst gave me. Ha!! Have a good day ladies!!

[baby407]

Jen 78- you are moving right along so happy for you!!! I know it is good to be optimistic I am just afraid I guess... thanks for your point of view it made me think differently.

June- Hope you get that call soon keep us posted!!!

[Junebug]

Oh, all is well.
I have 16 large/measurable eggs and a bunch of smaller ones. HCG is at 1:15 am and then ER is on for Thursday at 1:15 pm.

Not sure how good DH will be at giving the IM at 1:15 in the morning. Even though he is an old pro by now- he will be 1/2 asleep

[SaraNJ]

June - That is great news! Good luck to you and your dh tomorrrow!!!

Question for the Cornell ladies - I want to go and speak to one of their psychologists about donor sperm back up and just make sure we have thought about everything before we go ahead with it. There are 3 psychologists at Cornell and I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation of who to go to? Thanks!

[Tripp]

Hey everyone...

June- How exciting! Maybe you'll be half asleep too and won't notice him plunging a huge needle into you.

Jen78- Glad everything went well today! One more thing down...

Baby- That is just incredible that it's all covered! What a blessing!!!

Aunt Flo is really on vacation right now. Hope she decides to visit you girls really soon. You must be going crazy!!!! I always thought how ironic the whole thing is.. After praying for years that she WOULDN"T show, now we can't wait!

Lynn- take it easy! The house will eventually get organized. I know it's hard. My house has never been so dirty. Men...

Mel- How'd things go today?

Jen- How are you holding up? Any attachment pains maybe?

I hope I got everyone. We had another u/s today. They are 2 lb 7 oz and 2 lb 4 oz. They really look like babies. It's so crazy. Our due date is Dec 28th. Everything looks good so far!

[KuddleyGal]

Hello All -

June - Great... Wonderful... OUTSTANDING news!!! Can you and hubby stay up a little later and maybe watch a movie or two so he won't be groggy and tried?
Oh I am so excited for you..

Jen78 - Glad all went well with your dr. appt. You know for me the sonohystogram was not bad at all, it was the HSG that was the killer. So now what is your next step?

Anna- you still waiting like me still?

I'm getting desperate, buying the pads didn't work. I am half tempted to get one of those dollar store hpt's and see if that won't trigger it.. If I go past CD48, then that is what I may do. Funny how we have to play tricks with our mind and body sometimes.

I got a tooth yanked out my mouth today. I'd normally not complain if it didn't take over 45 min to come out. I have a wonderful dentist who kept apologizing but my roots were just stuck. So I now have 2 stitches and a really swollen face. Thank goodness for pain meds.
