Last night we saw "LOVE" (the Beatles show by Cirque du Soleil) and it was awesome!! i've been taking my shots and meds like a good little girl Okay, I have to run, and I didn't have time to read any posts (like 30 pages worth in 2 days?!?! WOW!), but when i get back to FL tomorrow night, I'll log on then!! Just stopping by to say hi!! Hope everyone is doing GREAT!

XOXO

I will also tell myself not to get too excited if it's positive due to chemical pregnancy which is common with IVF - as long as you go in with that mindset I think you'll be okay. Jersey was right about the mental stability part! But you better tell us if you do it!

Gracie - I'm sorry she didn't make it I'll be praying for your little boys and have fun at the boil - that sounds soooo good.

Hopeful-glad you are feeling better! can't wait to hear your report tomorrow

Lovelylady - & Happy Triggering! I LOVE this place and you will too.

Rana - my RE wants them under 50 also. Did you wear white pants out last night like I told ya?!

Ritu - your eggies are behaving pretty well too! Congrats on the frosties. You'll be going crazy in the 2ww very soon.

malloned - happy triggering!

Isa - you little jet setter you! Vegas is fun!! Dont party too hard.

i guess the reason for me was because the last meal I had was around 7pm the night before, my er was schedule for 11:45 and the didn't start it until 1pm, so when I woke up i felt really sick to my stomach..so hopefully you will be fine!!!

DH just called and he is trying to find me a Coach purse in Chinatown....it's the least he could do for leaving me alone with the dog, right!!?? Thank you all for the advice and support you have given about my dog situation.

isabel - how spontaneous to go to Vegas!!! I hope you have fun and win some money!!!
pags - I am happy that all 5 fertilized! You give me hope. All week my RE has only seen about 8-10 follies and that has got me worried about how many eggs they will be able to retrieve and fertilize. Good luck, hope you get some good grade blastocysts!!

Retrievals and Transfers are in sight (or past) for many of us, good luck to all of you!!!


Glad that you found a solution for the problem with the dog!!

also 28th street and 8th ave he can find really good deals for your coach purse!! lol

The nurse said that it's not too surprising that I'm so uncomfortable, considering I had 22 eggs. (Don't know how many follicles I had.) She said it'll probably take a week before I feel normal!! Oh well bed rest after ET isn't a bad thing ...

DH is now going to drive me to acupuncture.

Hi all, I'm updating the list since I got pushed out a week with new dates. I'm getting pushed into May for ET.

Cathy .. I love the truck. My husband bought a brand new truck during IVF #1. It was Silver .. so, maybe that was our problem. . However, I bought a new white MDX since then ... so, I'm sure this IIVF will work. Tara.

Also, totally new question ... what did everyone's Drs. tell them about having a glass of wine once starting Stims. I know there is no way after ET .. but, does it impact anything during stimulation?

Hi April buddies!
Pags – Congrats on the fertilization report! I guess me, you and nursesunshine are similar in how many follies we have..I also have 5 good ones so far and I might be triggering tomorrow night. My DH calls them the “fab five”. Glad you are feeling better..keep us posted!

Julia – so what’s your final decision? POAS?? Please let us know! Can’t wait to hear about your BFP!

Hopeful07- can’t wait to hear about the latest report…good luck!

Leslie- Welcome!!! You have found the best place to be during your journey. You will soon be an addict like me. Seriously, it is sooo addicting. My DH worries that I know too much of the process and I am stressing myself out, but I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to be able to have the support that you find here.

Malloned10- how did the trigger go? Monday is around the corner!

Isabel – I am so jealous that you went to Vegas. That is one of my favorite places to go. I will definitely have to check out that show.

Irena – I hope you feel better soon…good luck tomorrow!

Jerseyjandj – do you think you are feeling sick because of the meds or something else Can’t wait until you POAS!

Cathi – love the truck! Oh and here is a little dance for you

Traci – yep got the “period” undies too lol

Little update on me: I had my u/s and b/w and pre-op appt today. Still going strong with my “fab five follies” I have decided to stop stressing about only having 5 and focus on them all having eggs in them and fertilizing! (that is me talking to myself like every 5 minutes) My E2 was 1196 and depending on tomorrow’s numbers I may be doing the trigger tomorrow night .. Today was a crappy day for me..felt a bit down and weepy. I know it is the meds but it still sucks. Anway, hope everyone else is doing fine and I will check in tomorrow!

Just a quick update for me: ET was today and transferred 2 good embies. So I guess that puts my beta around April 26th. The clinic here just wants me to poas that day... I think I'll get a blood test anyways to be safe and probably poas before that

Julia – so what’s your final decision? POAS?? Please let us know! Can’t wait to hear about your BFP!

Hopeful07- can’t wait to hear about the latest report…good luck!

Leslie- Welcome!!! You have found the best place to be during your journey. You will soon be an addict like me. Seriously, it is sooo addicting. My DH worries that I know too much of the process and I am stressing myself out, but I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to be able to have the support that you find here.

Malloned10- how did the trigger go? Monday is around the corner!

Isabel – I am so jealous that you went to Vegas. That is one of my favorite places to go. I will definitely have to check out that show.

Irena – I hope you feel better soon…good luck tomorrow!

Jerseyjandj – do you think you are feeling sick because of the meds or something else Can’t wait until you POAS!

Cathi – love the truck! Oh and here is a little dance for you

Traci – yep got the “period” undies too lol

Little update on me: I had my u/s and b/w and pre-op appt today. Still going strong with my “fab five follies” I have decided to stop stressing about only having 5 and focus on them all having eggs in them and fertilizing! (that is me talking to myself like every 5 minutes) My E2 was 1196 and depending on tomorrow’s numbers I may be doing the trigger tomorrow night .. Today was a crappy day for me..felt a bit down and weepy. I know it is the meds but it still sucks. Anway, hope everyone else is doing fine and I will check in tomorrow!

5 is a good number and your E2 sounds good as well. Remember not the number but the quality. I'll be thinking of you.

Cathy
