Oh Hollie -

Call me if you want!

I am sorry -

I can't wait to hear how your appointment goes today!

Will this be your last appointment with CORM?

Megan

Thanks ladies. I promise I wasn't feeling so strong when I first found out, but it's easier to talk about it now. I hope that this is my last visit to CORM. I love everybody there, but it's a 2 hour drive for me. Plus I'm happy that I'll be off of the nasty gel! And I'm tired of writing in that diary!

I'll try to update when I get home this evening if I'm not worn out. Which I might be worn out because I slept horribly last night, not from worrying, just being uncomfortable and tummy not feeling good.

But I've already had time to deal with the sad feelings, so I want to be happy today to see the baby moving around. It was nice to have my mom show me what happened. She didn't say anything. She just kept looking and I knew what was going on. I was really sad, but now I'm thankful to have a healthy baby in there. So hopefully today I'll get the good news that the baby is doing well.

I am so sorry to hear that. That is my fear and is why I didn't want to tell everyone that we are having twins so soon. I afraid now that we told everyone I will lose one. I pray everynight that they will both be safe inside my tummy..

Hollie I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for a wonderful u/s for you today.

Hey Kari, how'd your appt go today? When's your u/s?

[KDJAJ]

I went and gave my blood and now I am just waiting on my phone call to tell me what my level was and when to come back and if they are changing my meds or not.
She said I will either come back tomorrow or Friday and plan on being there a lot this weekend too. So we will just see how it goes. I really hope cutting out the Follistim didn't cause me to slow down. When I woke up this morning I could feel my ovaries though so I guess they are getting bigger in there.

I will post as soon as they call me and let you guys know!

Hollie - I am so sorry that one of your little beans didn't make it. I can imagine that must have been very tough to hear. You are right though, now you must focus on the other one and be thankful that they are still there. Sending you . I hope your U/S went well today, please let us know.

Kari and Sheri - Yeah for stims! Sounds like you both are getting closer! oh and Kari - I didn't get my first ultrasound till Friday and I triggered on Saturday...so don't worry if you haven't had one yet. She won't let you trigger any earlier than Saturday from what I understand.

Ryan - Welcome to the "Sleeping Big O" club!!! Did you hurt afterwards? I felt like my uterus was going to fly out of my body! Bizarre!! Congrats on the HUGE 2nd beta!! Now I have beta envy...lol.

Megan and Nikki - Try squats too!

Jean - How are you doing?? Miss you!! How are the twins!?!?!

Courtney and Kari - You guys book a party with me and I'll make sure you guys have a great time...and MOM can come too...HI MOM!!!

Yay, you're getting close!!! I didn't really feel anything until yesterday. The u/s was VERY uncomfortable. It felt like my ovaries were actually "hurting". Then last night, it hurt to sit. Today I'm fine though. I have to go back again tomorrow. My E2 today was 1218.

When things calm down that sounds like a great idea.
When is your first ultrasound? I can't wait!

Kari - We need to do that party thing. We might learn a few things from Little "Big O". LOL The doctor's need to call you soon. Man it's like they get later and later everytime.

[curbanovsky]

Nevermind my question. I'm just getting anxious about you and your bean count and Kari getting her HCG shot. I'm getting impatient.

LOL...YOU'RE getting anxious!! I could gnaw through brick right now...

Well taking me off the Follistim really slowed me down. Monday my estrogen was 405 and today it was 590. So she said to go ahead and add back in the Follistim but only 75 instead of 150 and then stay on the Menopur and Lupron like normal. I go back Friday at 10:00 for more b/w and finally an u/s!

Stacey- isn't this when you go for your u/s? I know Cheli's is at 1:30. I told her to just put me on speakerphone so I could listen! LOL

[hopeful23]

I have a question for those of you on the Progesterone Ring. Do you have alot of yellowish discharge? I am finding it alot, and was told it was probably due to the ring, but I wanted to see if others are experiencing this as well, or if I am just a freak of nature..

Kari - They did they same thing to me...I shot up from 450 to 1500 in two days so they had me do the Menopur only for a night and then lowered my Follistim the next day. The day after I hit 1500, I was only at 1600...so it sounds like you were just going a little too fast and they didn't want to risk it. From what I've heard, there have been quite a few girls with OHSS so they are being a little more conservative.
