I'll be using GonalF 450, Menopur 75, Lupron 14 day kit and the trigger shot (started with a N?) Just trying to figure out how much it would be if I ordered it myself, versus going with their 'discount' of 3000.00

The Gonal F and Menopur really varies depending on how well you stim. I'll be using like 4x the amount as Melanee but I'm older. I can tell you that the Lupron 14 day supply should be enough to get you through your stims.

i just got the call. i start stims on thursday the 17th instead of the 16th. ER on the 28th!


pris, how about lunch on the 22nd?

[foxracergirl97]

What is the max that everyone has used on the stims. I am looking into buying elsewhere also....Just give us an estimate so we have something to go on!
Thanks everyone! You are all so great!

I'm getting there! I'm looking forward to having some time off wirk with all of this stuff so I can sleep. I am so tired all the time. There are 3 of us that are pretty much on the same schedule right? I hope we all get our bfps. How are you dong on the lupron?

There is another girl, Jencat that has mthfr. I know she was on heparin with her cycle. She has had some of the testing done and has had an ectopic. Maybe she can give you some more insight.

We are excited and nervous for the fertilization report tomorrow...hopefully everything will continue to go okay! I wish everyone good luck with wherever you are in your cycle! We have some great ladies on here and I am grateful to belong to this little IF family. Thanks again and love ya'll!

Melanee, it was so nice to meet you and your dh this weekend. You are both too cute. That is a great ER report that you have. I hope and pray you get a wonderful fert report tomorrow. I will be thinking about you both tomorrow! Hopefully we can all get together this weekend if you're up to it.

Thanks sweetheart!! It was so great to meet you guys as well! Thanks for the support! It was great to sit down and chat with you guys and I hope that everything goes well with you guys. I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to get together this weekend. We are doing the transfer on Saturday probably so I don't know if you guys will be here on Friday or what...that would be the best for us. After you guys left Chris was saying that he was glad to be able to sit down and chat with your hubby, he said he was really cool and down to earth to talk to. Let me know how your doing, And hugs to you too!

wow, 250 lbs of crawdads! sounds like quite a party. you know i was thinking i was going to ask my re if i can do some immune testing. this mthfr seems to be very common in infertile women. plus, i already had an early loss. i'm going to ask tomorrow.

Glad you had such a great time last weekend. Last PP I went to was when I was living up north that my x-roommate dragged me to last year and we had a blast.

We will be there on Friday morning for my appt. I'm not sure what we're doing the rest of the day. I'm supposed to stay at my sister's house on Friday night so I'll see if she has anything planned for us yet. Maybe we can do something Friday. I'll let you and Kristen know sometime soon.
My dh is very logical, practical and just a big teddy bear. I love him! He can be intimidating to some people b/c he's just a big guy, but he's just a really nice guy. He thought you were really sweet and thought Chris was cool, easy to talk to and genuine. DH said that he felt like an old man next to y'all. He said that y'all were 4 and 6 when he graduated high school!!! Ok I feel old! LOL. Talk to you soon!
I pray that you get a wonderful fert report tomorrow!

Shannon, they give you the bcps to take control of your cycle to the day. At least that's what they told me. BCPs can be evil pills...

[Saschia]

ooo i disnt know that i was le then why take them at all... huggs
I bet I havnt takin bcp's for almost 13 years..LOL not looking forward to any funny business from them....
i had takin clomid before and i had hot flashes like i was going through menopause..lol

Heather, lunch on the 22nd sounds great. Just let me know what time.

[babybearjmd]

It shouldn't be any worse than the clomid. I was hungry and mean on desogen. On the portia, I was just a little moody and a little hungrier than usual. Of course I gained a few pounds on both...
