Nicole - I'm so glad that you don't have any cysts! Hopefully the pain will subside for you!

Cheli - Great follie check!! That would be wonderful if you got to trigger early! Please keep us posted!

Faith - That's great that 5 fertilized! The gel sounds kinda icky...poor thing! Keep us posted on your embies!

Kristen - I'm so glad they got the money figured out for you and even better they may have found the cause of your headaches! It stinks that you have the clotting problems, but hopefully w/knowing what it is and treatment you will feel much better! Are you looking forward to tomorrow?

Well, the nurse just called me back, she didn't give me my E2 levels, but just said that they were good and my next monitoring appt is Saturday at 8:30am. That's just two Lupron and two stim shots from now!

[Chinadoll08]

Melis74, I am so glad to hear that your levels were good today! We are getting closer and closer

I am excited about my appointment tomorrow, but I must admit extremely nervous. I just want to see numerous, beautiful follicles!

I see that you have two min pins! We have a min pin and a border collie. Our two furbabies are so much fun! Our Min Pin pretty much rules the roost around here and bosses the Border Collie around on a daily basis But they love one another!

I recently got my BFP but I am having dull lower abdominal pain on both sides. It feels like ovary pain. However sometimes it is a sharp pain maybe 3-4 times in an hour but goes away really quick. Just kind of worried. I finally stopped spotting but I had brown spotting for a total of 6 days. I called the nurse and she recommended I stay home from work. I am taking it very easy. She told me to drink lots of gatorade and increase my fiber intake. Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this after their positive BFP. Any input would be appreciated....Oh and the nurse told me that she couldn't really do anything right now until I have my ultasound which is 2 weeks away. She said to call if the symptoms get worse.
Thanks again,
Mandi
Babydust to everybody and good luck to all the ER's and ET's coming up!!!!

I did hear from the nurse today and my estrogen is up to 1030 and so meds will stay the same. I go in Sat at 7am for b/w & u/s and then maybe even trigger Saturday?!?

Courtney - can't wait to meet you Saturday morning. Hope your embies continue to do awesome! Kari tells me everyday how good you're doing.

Stacey - Good luck on the appt tomorrow. I hope they find lots of BIG eggies growing.

Melissa - sounds like we'll both find out more info Sat. good luck.

Kristen - sorry we didn't get to meet this morning, but I did see you... I really hope they're able to get a handle on the bood issues.

Indie Blue - sounds like you're eggs are doing great! Sorry you're having to deal with the gel. That makes me wish even harder that I get the ring!

You all are in my thoughts and prayers every night!

[Chinadoll08]

Yeah Cheli, you are ahead of schedule!! I am so happy for you! How many follicles did you see on the screen today?

I am trying to stay calm but man it is hard!

Hey Stacey! Thanks for the happy thoughts! This is what I had today:
Right - 11,12,13,14,14,16
Left - 10,10,13,14,14,17

I SO know what you mean about staying calm! I'm just SO excited about the thought of finally becomng a mommy that I can't focus. I keep telling myself to remain realistic about things, but it's hard.

Thank you While I was kind of hoping for the ring, after she explained it to me I'm kind of glad that I didn't get it. She said that since it's up there for a week at a time, that sometimes it gets coated with mucous and it's really slippery to get out....I was thinking "eewwww" LOL I could just see myself in strange positions trying to get it out before the u/s and such LOL

Still....either one I would have worked with. I put the gel in this morning at the earliest possible time and then I went back to bed....it seems to be working so far , I guess I'll just try and lay down after my dose everyday and see how that works out.

I heard somewhere?, maybe here? That the medicine/progesterone is absorbed pretty much within the first 10-20 minutes from this stuff and that the gel is just a bio-adhesive/carrier....so again, hoping the lying down helps that whole process

Stacey - Yep, I had one MinPin(Cocoa) since '04 and volunteer w/MinPin Rescue fostering, transporting, etc. My DH & I decided that w/having a baby it was time to have a permanent fur-brother/sister for Cocoa so we have adopted my last foster, Charley. I am done w/fostering for now, but maybe once the baby gets older we will think about it again...Positive thinking!! I'm anxiously awaiting your results from today!

Cheli - You could possibly trigger on Saturday?! That's wonderful news!! It sounds like everything is right where it needs to be! I'm so happy for you! Please, let us know what they tell you tomorrow!

Babywishes & Shannon - Good luck w/your transfers today!! Let us know how it went!

Kristen & Nicole - Today is your stim day, woohoo!

Mandi - I've never had a bfp, so I can't answer your question, but wanted you to know that I'm for you and hoping everything is fine!

Stacey(GA) - Good luck w/your ER tomorrow! How have you been feeling? Please let us know how it goes!

Courtney & Faith - Good luck w/your transfers tomorrow, please keep us updated!!

Lua - How are you feeling? Are you still in the hospital? Thinking of you!

Nothing to report here, just waiting for tomorrow's monitoring appt. I have been feeling crampy today...hopefully that means my follies are cooking up a storm...not too much tho!

[lua]

Hi Melissa,

No, thanks God now I'm at home... just resting and sometimes crying... just trying to understand it happend... but it seems to be impossible to find a reason. Well...

Now, to try to avoid this kind of terrible thoughts I'm trying to think about next month and the FET...

Does anyone knows how does it work and how they do it at CORM (the protocol)? Just to put some hope on my mind

I'm praying for all of you! I know that you will get your BFP!

[Passionscientist]

Lua - I'm so glad to hear from you and that you are home resting!!! You had me so worried!! I'm not entirely sure on the FET at CORM, but I know Megan (MartieRoo) and Kari are both prepping for a FET so they may know. I'm so glad that you've got the snowbabies and you know that you got pregnant with this group so it looks really good for you this time around. Keep us updated!!!

Kristen

I had my U/S this morning and we have one beautiful little bean. However, when Dr. Schnell first started the scan she saw two sacs but only one had a heart beat. We are sad that we lost one of the babies but we are also so thankful that we have another one that is doing awesome! The heart rate was 119 and measured 5cm and 6w3d.

[Chinadoll08]

So glad that you got to see your little bean today Heather! I am sure it was an amazing moment

I had m u/s and bloodwork this morning and as expected I have one follicle who is a complete oveachiever, so he is at 25.7 already! I really hate that he will be post mature by the time I am ready for ER, but what can you do. As my Meditation CD keeps telling me, "My body is doing exactly what it is meant to be doing at this very moment." So...with that being said I do have 6 other follicles who are doing well, so I am praying that I get at least 6 beautiful eggs. I have a 7 a.m. appointment tomorrow to do bloodwork and u/s and meet with the Dr. before I trigger tomorrow I also got my E2 back and it is at 875 or something like that as of this morning. So hopefully in the next couple days things will continue to do what they need to do and we will be having our retrieval on Monday! I am still so optimistic about this cycle even with my small amount of eggs!

YEAH Stacey! I had an overachiever last time I did injectibles and it does suck! But as long as there are plenty there once that one goes, you will be great! Sounds like with your estrogen that you might even have more than 6. We just have to remember that it only takes one to get prego! I will look for you tomorrow morning at 7am too. Kari and Courtney will be there too. I will have my blonde hair in a ponytail and my glasses on, I'm sure. Hope to see you there! That's great that you get to trigger tomorrow too! Sounds like we will be in surgery together Monday morning.
