Hi Jenifer,

Sorry the ring is uncomfortable but hopefully you can stop using it after week 10, right? Hang in there you only have a short while more to go!

I don't have the ring I have the gel. Today when I went to wipe I had (TMI) and for lack of a better description --paper mache coming out down there. Gross!!! I guess there is no easy progestrone available. The shots hurt and bruise, the ring is uncomfortable and the gel gets all clogged up and starts coming out in globs.

Just remember it is all for a great cause!!!

I hear ya! I don't know that I would have be able to do the PIO shots. Sorry to hear about your gel stuff.

I think we have to go 12 weeks. I have my last appt at CORM on my 11 wk...so I guess we'll see what happens.

Has the ring always been uncomfortable for you or only more uncomfortable as you grow?

I have had mine in for one week and honestly I don't even know it is there. I keep reminding myself that I need to take it out and change it tomorrow.

I must say that I am LOVING the ring especially after experiencing all of the PIO shots I have had the past two cycles. The ring was certainly a WELCOMED change !

I was that way in the beginning so It must be as I grow.... and with twins there's lots of growing! I worry that I am going to forget to, so I set it out on the bathroom counter the night before...

Hello ladies. I've been doing a lot of resting and not much typing, but I've been keeping up with you all. They did call yesterday and they were able to freeze 1 lonely embryo. It does add a little pressure to making sure these take! One more week until my Beta. Seems like FOREVER.

Kristen - your egg report sounds great!! I'll pray for lots of fertilization!

Courtney - CONGRATS girl! For you, I'll pray for twins! Since a little birdie told me that's what you want...

Kari - thanks for all of the support and I'll see you at work Wednesday.

Melissa - glad to hear you're back at work and doing well. Hoping for BFP for all of us!

Stacey (TX) - yes, sounds like our DH are the same! He's asking that I stay home from work another day. I'm sure my body needs it. Still waiting for our BFP's!

Better get back to bed...hang in there ladies!

Well, sadly for my birthday I received (sorry, tmi) bloody cm I guess AF is trying to break through. Since I got a positive at 6dpt, 7dpt and 8dpt then negatives on 8dpt and today, 9dpt....I guess she's trying to make her presence known

It's slacked off a lot....almost clear again, so who knows what she's doing LOL But I'll keep my eye on her till Wednesday when I have my Beta and we'll take it from there

Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers and I hope we all get a BFP in the near future.

Shannon, I'm sorry But I know how you feel....Wednesday is going to be horrible for me, especially since I have to wear pads until it's a confirmed negative...blechhh! Plus I have to go back for the 'final visit' after Beta, great....I really want to sit around and hash out why this didn't work

Question for those of you with the ring...

I am just wondering if you noticed anything "different" when you inserted the second ring?

Things felt different when I inserted my second one this morning and while I am not grasping at straws for signs of a pregnancy I just found it weird.
