Just wondering if anyone will be at the CORM-Webster office on Monday morning? My cd3 b/w & body exam is scheduled at 7:30 am. I hope I will be able to get my results that day! I'm so scared something is going to be wrong that will make me ineligible to continue in the study! Hopefully, I'll get to meet some of you ladies finally!
Hollie - I know you are scheduled for an u/s on Monday to see your baby(ies) - do you have to go to Webster for that? Has anyone heard anything about Lua??? I'm really getting concerned about her!!!

Bright and early tomorrow morning I should know something by 2 or 3pm when my blood work gets back...and of course I'll know how many follies I have after my appt but it takes me 2 hours to drive back home so I'll update you guys when I get back Praying I have lots of 18's and those 9's caught up. I have enough GonalF to last me 5 days, and enough Menopur to last me 2-3 more....so hoping I don't need to go longer than that. Thanks for asking!!! The last few days it's been strange. I have no appetite and I've been so nauseous.....hoping that is a good sign of something LOL

Congrats in the twins Jennifer! How awesome!!!
Congrats Mandi! I can't wait to hear about your beta! Good Luck to the ER's today Shannon and babywishes! Courtney doesn't have her internet hooked up yet b/c she just moved last week so I am posting for her-LOL I gave her the trigger last night at 7 and I must be a pro b/c she said it didn't hurt at all! Her and my brother have to be at CORM at 5:15AM tomorrow!!! They live about an hour away and considering my brother is NOT a morning person that should be interesting! LOL I'm not sure if any of you will be there yet by the time she leaves-I can't remember how long you have to stay. But my brother and mom will be in the waiting room and Courtney will be wearing a pink track suit-LOLGood Luck to everyone and keep those coming!!!Kari

Ok I am getting nervious. I am still having brown spotting (it has been 4 days now). I called CORM and left a message with the doctor's answering service this morning (I should have called earlier
). I will be there in the morning for my BETA. I am just really nervous because I miscarried (chemical pregnancy not sure) in December after 6 weeks. Now that I actually saw a BFP on the HPT, it has my mind racing that this may be happening again. Do you think they will call back today????Mandi ![]()

I've been viewing this thread now for quite some time and it's high time I join in the excitement! I'm currently in the study at CORM in Webster, Texas. I'ts been great to follow all of your stories and I'm so excited for all of the great results. I'm currently on my stim meds and I go Monday to CORM at 6:45am for blood work. When I went in last week for b/w and u/s to make sure that I could start stims on Friday (5/30) I had a cyst. They said that it looked like it was disentegrating and that I should go ahead and start stims. They also said that I already have so many follicles ( I guess because of PCOS?) that they cut my follistim down to 150 before I even got started. I work with Kari, so she and I get to share alot of stories everyday. I needed some opinions today though...I've been stimming now for 2 days and I have a lot of spotting. Did anyone else spot during the stim meds? I'm wondering if it's the cyst dissolving or something? I go tomorrow and I'll ask the nurse then, but it had me worried and I wanted to see what you all thought?
Looks like I'm right on schedule with Stacey and Melissa - let's go girls!! I'm thinking happy thought for all of us going through this. ![]()

I just got off the phone with Dr. Schnell. She said that it could be 2 embryos still fighting each other over implantation. She also said there is probably just a lot of activity going on right now. She told me to just take it easy. I feel better now. I hope everything turns out ok.

Update on Lua...sortof...
Hey everyone,
I asked some folks if they knew anything about Lua and her OHSS and of course due to patient confidentiality they can't tell me much of anything, but the important thing that I wanted to know was that she is ok. So I asked her to try and get word to Lua or her husband that we were all thinking about her and hoping she is doing better and praying for a quick and speedy recovery!!! Please keep her in your prayers that she gets over the OHSS soon!! Kristen

Thanks for asking about me Kristin! I am doing well on stims! Of course this is only day 3 so ask me again in a few days
I go in for bloodwork tomorrow morning at 8:45 so hopefully my levels will come back good! I am feeling so confident about this cycle, but sometimes I read thing or analogies about IVF working and it burst my bubble Makes me so sad! I need to stay positive and only read inspiring things![]()
