Well I just want to thank everybody for all of their support!!!! They retrieved 16 eggs and 11 eggs were mature. Todd ICSI'd 11 of the mature eggs today. I will let you know tomorrow if I get the ring or the gel.... Thanks again for all the support!!! You are all a wonderful group of people!!!Kari - I know you can make it through this....Just know you are and have been doing the best you can to get a BFP....If you really want to be a mom someday you will....We are all a lot stronger people because we have had to go through this.....And don't forget that it is ok to be sad. You have to be sad to be able to grieve before you can move onto the next step. If you need anything let me know. And go buy the book today....i promise you will feel a 100 percent better and you can see this process in a whole new light.Thanks again everybody!!!Mandi

Okay, I spoke too soon on the Lupron side effects LOL Does anyone else feel bruised and like they have a knot where the injection goes? This is only my 5th one...and it HURT! None of the others have hurt...is it just because I'm doing more and more? I'm alternating sides, about 1-2 inches away from my belly button on my tummy. Like I said tonights hurt and the rash appeared like last night and then it felt like I had a knot and it feels bruised
 Just wondering if I did something wrong. Where do you all do your stim shots? Same place? That's going to hurt after a while LOL.....does it have to be each side of your belly button or can I just make a complete circle out of all these shots LOL

The only time I ever had that problem was when I hit a nerve and got a nice big bruise and it hurt pretty bad. But I never had a rash or knot. Hope that goes away doesn't sound pleasant!

Out of town for a few days!
Hey everyone, just wanted to say that I'll be out of town for a few days on a business trip to California! I'm not happy about traveling, but I will get to meet Kate and AzooDude from this board while I'm out there so I'm excited about that! I'll try to post on my free time, but I'm hoping I won't have much of that
.So if anything really exciting happens, can someone update the list for me?? Just wanted to wish Rose good luck tomorrow and Kari, I'm hoping you do ok tomorrow at your appointment. I'll actually be at CORM tomorrow for a 10:30 appointment if anyone else is going to be there. I'll probably be in black pants and a red/white funky looking shirt, so if you are going to be there, let me know!! Talk to everyone soon!

Kristen - I have a question you may be able to help with....on Friday I signed my Duramed IVF Study Consents & Dr. Schnell told me to call the Beaumont office Monday to schedule my blood work & labs - so when I called today, the nurse said I wasn't for sure in the study and that I would still need to go through more screening - like the blood work & labs!?! I already had my blood work & labs in January so it seems that if there were any problems they would have already told me. Can you shed some light on this? I scheduled an appt. for Thursday, but it's going to drive me crazy to wait that long!!! This emotional roller coaster is sooo hard!!!

hey ladies,
congrats to all BFP!!! and hugs to all the ladies like me BFN!!!! Have any of you heard of the embryo glue? well if not look it up(google) well I said I'll be researching and this sounds awesome to me cause my embie's didn't implant(bfn), and if any of you ladies were from houston Dr. Schnell performs this procedure and if any of you have frosties here goes your next try. Just thought I would pass this on to the BFNer's of the study.

Thank you Kristen and Marcia I think I will move down under my belly button for a while....this spot left a nice BIG bruise by this morning...it's sore too. Don't want to continue to do a shot there....so I'll just move it. Only 2 more days till I get my baseline and then I'll have to start adding stims....I'm sure this bruise will pale in comparison after that LOL Thank you again for the answers!
