The needle looks larger than the Lupron needle, but it's only for 10 days, I can do this!!

You can definitely do it! The pens are so easy!!!

Hi Girls,

I need to start to read the posts again!!! I'm completely lost here... heheh... I'm on a client site and here it's hard to have time to see, but at night I'm going to read and see all news!!!

I got my report today, we have 7 (8 cells) and 9 (4 cells)! I hope they continue to grow!!! My transfer will be Sunday at 08:30!

[praying4my1st]

I had the Hysterogram today and Dr. Schnell said “Well….it actually looks perfect!” She seemed really surprised and was preparing me to get bad news!! So….she went ahead & did the mock transfer and I am good to go!!!! I signed all the consents and will start the process next week! Praise the Lord!!! God is Great!!!

Thank you so much for all your support & prayers! I’m really looking forward to going through this wonderful journey with y'all!!!!

They know that it is still early. I told my mom, my two best friends, and my brother and sil. At least this way, if something bad happens they can be there for us. BUT I'm staying positive!!

I am feeling pretty crappy and nauseous all of the time. I was sick this morning. I woke up feeling bad, ate a cracker and drank a sip of water and then was sick... This is going to be a long first trimester.. But I'm just happy that it is happening.

Beta #3 is Tuesday in Webster at 9:00 am.

Megan... I'm sorry that it didn't work out this time. But I'm glad you are staying upbeat. You have 7 little frozen babies that need their momma! Enjoy the margaritas!!

That is a great number.. Congrats.....Wonderful news

[JNIGRL]

Lua- your report looks great! Grow babies grow!!


Maribeth- Congrats on the great news! With everything happening, those drives wont be bad after all!!!!

[praying4my1st]

Lua - WOW!!!! That is awesome! Congrats!

Janice - I am SO looking forward to the good, bad & ugly!! Those drives will be a piece of cake!

Yeah !!! Stims !!!.. You can do it...


Can I ask a dumb question.. What is a mock transfer.. I have read about y'all talkin about this, but am lost to know what you mean.. Sorry

[Passionscientist]

Maribeth - That is awesome! Were you there today?? I was there for a few hours today with Melanee so I might have seen you! I met another girl who is going through the study from Beaumont also but she wasn't you .

Jenifer - Congratulations!!! When were you there?? I heard one of the nurses call back a Jenifer but wasn't sure if it was you or not.

Hollie - Great 2nd beta!!!

Lua - Your report sounds GREAT!!! You, Jean and Brenda will both be PUPO very soon!!!

babywishes13 - I had the Gonal-F Pen and I loved it! The needles aren't that bad and they are sharper than the Lupron so they actually hurt less to me!

Megan - I am sorry about the BFN. But I'm glad that you can move onto your FET cycle now. Sending you

Nikki - Mock transfer is just like it sounds. It's a pretend Embryo transfer so the doctor can make sure there aren't any problems with doing the transfer beforehand. It's not a big deal just one of those hoops we have to jump through!

So I got to see Melanee's babies on the ultrasound today!! We got to see their heartbeats and they are both measuring perfectly! It was pretty cool and I'm so excited for them!!

[z_momma#1]

Hello Ladies,
I hope all you are doing well in your study! I got the other BFN today, but I okay now I had to take a few days to get it out of my mind, but I an ready to talk FET now in Sept so Ican build my vacation time back up. I wanna just take a month off from work nexrt time! Well I send tons of baby dust all of your ways! best wishes and praise to all that conceive and to us that don't! I'm gonna keep my eyes open for other studies as well, in fact I am looking at one with the SHER institute in Vegas and they have seveal locations (Dallas) being the closes.

You can do it!!!

I have the GonalF powder, but Freedom pharmacy sent a big medteach book with instructions on the GonalF and Follistim pens, so I understand what you're saying about them looking confusing.

Was there a reason they wanted you to start the next night after the baseline? On my calendar I noticed that it says my estimated date of stim start is 5/22....but that's the day of my baseline so I thought it sounded odd....guess it's normal? I kept thinking I'd start on the 25th....so the 22nd is nice that'll just be that much quicker I can get those follies growing! Best of luck on your follies!

[praying4my1st]

Kristen - Yes, I was there this morning from 9 - 1! I was wearing gray slacks & a black top & carrying my go-with-me-everywhere black bag!!! I also had my curly hair down today.I bet I saw you too! Were you the only one who was talking to someone (Melanee) in the waiting room?!? LOL!!!
