I'm still really tired and I slept all day, I believe that's because of medication and pain... it's hurting.. I hope tomorrow it will be better.

Tomorrow I will read all msgs, but today I really need to sleep more...

Great number of eggs Lua . Try to take it easy and drink lots of fluids. Can't wait to hear about your fertilization report tomorrow.

First, congrats on your cycle ! Those counts sound great! I don't know too much about the gel....or the ring for that matter as I'm just starting Lupron but I'm sure some of the other ladies will be able to answer you on that question. I wanted to send you lot of too....and I pray you get a on your beta and that these symptoms are just a side effect of the gel and your worries will be put at ease soon.

I'm so excited since there was a chance they were going to cancell my cycle all together if my E2 level got too high. Thanks for the support.

Congrats Rose!!! I am excited for you!

YAY!!! Hope it doubles and check in and let us know!

I don't know if you all are getting my post because the last time i posted I was totally ignored! not having a pleasant day as you can see!

I'm so sorry I pray you're wrong though and you still get a BFP. I feel I get ignored all the time too on these fast paced boards....I'm sure a lot of ladies do. I even changed my font color to stick out a bit to see if maybe that was it LOL Now I've just figured it's because I'm from GA and all you other ladies are from TX and I'm being ousted from the clique

Seriously though, I think the board is just really really fast and a lot of post get looked over. A lot of close friendships have developed here between the ladies that live near each other and so again....some might just sign on and check to see if that person had an update or whatever. Don't take it personally...I try not to

Again, really hoping and praying that you're wrong and that you get your !!!

Pris, maybe it's just your body gearing up for another month of AF? It's not sure yet what's going on and maybe it'll surprise you with that once it figures out that AF isn't going to work out this month! I've heard that AF cramping is a constant throughout the first few weeks/months of pregnancy...so just try to rest and keep up that PMA!!!

WOW, that's a lot of eggs!!! Congrats! Can't wait to hear about your fertilization report! Get plenty of rest and keep on with that gatorade!

i just got off the phone with integramed. i'm thinking i might do a couple injectable iui's (w/ double inseminations) and then move onto shared risk after my summer break. the price for shared risk is $22,600 for regular ivf, $25,500 for icsi. those prices include 3 fresh cycles and 3 FET's, no meds. 70% refund if no live baby.


sigh

[BottleBrunette]

i'm so sorry z momma. i really hope you get a pleasant surprise


hi indie , how are you today?

Shannon, I totally get where you're coming from. I'm starting Lupron tomorrow and the more board reading or online research I do the more I fear my own chances. I either get overly confident from seeing all the BFP's and think...well sure I'll get a BFP, I only have tubal issues. Or I take a direct opposite stance and after reading all the ladies that get BFN's after having such great cycles, great numbers and no known factors....well of course I'm silly for thinking this will end in a BFP, I'm wasting all this money and I'm still not going to be pregnant So again....I'm trying to not read too much...but trying not to ignore anyone either as I'm excited for everyone and it's hard to just leave it all behind.

It's such an emotional roller coaster, sometimes I just think the less I know the better....that way I'm not overly confident and not killing my chances before even getting started too.

I hope you get to feeling better, and that your cycle does end in a BFP!!!
