Faith - You are probably constipated...that happens a lot with all of the drugs and stuff. Try Janice's Poop Paste recipe or you can take some Dulcolax stool softener too. Hope that helps!

Wow!!! I've missed a lot of activity over the weekend. Hope the ERs went well. And I see we have another bean count and BFP. That's great news ladies. I hope everybody is doing well. Thanks for the Lua update Kristen.

Hi Girls!

I brought the laptop so I could keep up with you guys!

I talked to my mom and Courtney had 19 eggs! Now the waiting part comes until tomorrow morning to see how many were good and how many fertilize!

Shannon and Babywishes sounds like you guys had some great ER's yourself! Those are great numbers!!!

I did have some cramping, spotting and waddling-lol after my ER last time - I made 28 eggs so I was VERY uncomfortable! LOL Courtney asked me if she would feel better once she got the eggs out and I told her No-it hurts worse! LOL

Sounds like everyone is doing great! I am just SLOWLY going along eating my BCP for now.

Cheli it's about time you quit being a stalker and joined in! I can't wait to hear your E2 today. What did they say about the spotting?


Mandi- that's pretty exciting you might have 2 in there! I can't wait for your big beta #!

Kristen- that is funny about your shot! It's amazing the random places we have given ourselves injections!

Ok so here's a random poll question for you: Did all of you do your enema? I didn't do it for the last study b/c I am pretty regular but the conversation I had with Courtney yesterday about it just had me in stitches! Did any of you see the pics of the lady on the box and be like Oh hell NO! LOL

Have a great day!
Kari

That's pretty funny. I didn't do the enema, and never had plans to. I took the stool softeners, drank the protein shakes, and drank so much Gatorade that I thought I would die, but that's where I drew the line. I can honestly say that I don't think that had any effect on my outcome (of the trial) LOL.

I am officially pregnant! I had my ultrasound yesterday in Webster instead of today. The u/s tech wasn't going to be in today, so they asked me to come in yesterday. The dr did my scan. She saw two sacs and two HB. Baby A looked great with HB 131 and CRL of 6.4 mm, right on track. Baby B doesn't look very good, and the RE doesn't think it will make it. The HB was 119 and CRL was 4.6mm, quite a bit behind where it should be. And Baby B sac was very small compared with Baby A.

So it will be a bit sad if Baby B doesn't make it. But we are very happy and relieved that the pregnancy is viable and Baby A is doing very well.

I have to go to the Beaumont office again today to get some paperwork and go over some things with the nurse. The dr was too busy yesterday to do it.

Hollie, congratulations, you are !!!!

[babywishes13]

I just got my fertilization report, and out of the 18 eggs, 16 were mature, and 13 fertilized! I'm really excited and happy!

[SheriS]

Congrats Hollie!! You are !!!

[IndieBlue]

Hollie: Congrats times two

Kari: I haven't done the enema...but then I've heard it's more for precaution. The meds they pump you full of during ER are supposed to be pretty constipating...so I think they like to head it off before hand. I don't plan on taking one and it's not required at my clinic.

Kristen: Thanks....I had a 'movement' last night and one again this morning...so I don't think that I'm constipated? My follicles have sprouted though, so maybe that is where the lower pressure is coming from. I was pretty sore when she started poking around. I do plan on eating some high fiber stuff today though....just to make sure things are moving well before ER.

She'll call me around 2 or 3 to let me know whether to trigger tonight or shoot up another day LOL My lining was 16 and my follies were as follows

Right: 21, 15, 13, 9, 6, 6
Left: 20, 16.5, 16, 16, 15, 15, 14, 13.7

And I'm thinking one of those 20's is my cyst. It was at 16.? the other day...Friday, so it's probably grown in to a 20 or so by now. Don't they like to have everything over 18? And do they mature anymore after trigger? I guess one more day wouldn't be too bad....I just hate to drive all the way back to the office tomorrow for another u/s....that's a lot of gas and a lot of drive time.

[KDJAJ]

LMAO Rose!!! Yea I had never had to do one before and I wasn't about to start. I was like Umm...No.

Congrats Hollie! Hopefully your second little bean will catch up!

Babywishes - That is an AWESOME fert report!!! Way to go!!!

Those are awesome #'s girl..
Good Luck sweetie !!!!!

[nikki_tx]

Ok... so here we go again ladies

Yes I am still bleeding, so I called the RE office Saturday because my (.)(.) were starting to hurt and get sore like they do a few days before AF shows. So I told this to RE office and explain how confused I am and how will I know if it's AF or still bleeding from the appart healing from surgery and removal of the balloon.
So about a half hour later RE office called me back and said that she went ahead and called my DR and he said this is definitely AF, but he is concerned that I have been bleeding this long.. Hello I have been telling them this...So I have to monitor it today and may have to go into lab for blood work again if it has not slowed.

The burse on duty did not know what to do since I am in study and she did not know the protocol for the study patients, so they put my chart on the study corrdinators desk this am, but still have not heard from them at all

[babybearjmd]

babywishes13, that is a great fert report!!! Congrats!!! I hope those embabies grow, grow, grow!!!

Hollie, congrats on your u/s! I hope that baby B makes it. I'm so happy that baby A is doing so well!

KDJAJ, I did not to the enema. I so did not want to do that. I took poop paste and stool softener starting the day before ER and continued for about 4 days after. I also drank gatorade. I pretty much ate what i wanted after and it took about 2 days for a **.

Faith, the pressure of your follicles can cause some pain. I had pain when I moved around. I could feel it when I took a step. The follies can give you a very full feeling. It could also be constipation, but I didn't get that until after ER.

Mandi, congrats on your positive HPT!!!!

I'll catch up on others later!

Hi everyone!
