My calendar says a ER on May 13 so we will see if that stays the same. I can't wait to get to Colorado and see what they say.

After our appt we are going to the baseball game. I'm so looking forward to a funnel cake. So sorry ladies to mention food but I just couldn't resist.

They are culturing 7 embryos for a 5 day transfer on Sat (provided OHSS doesn't kick in too bad), and froze the other 10. So we'll see... I won't know until transfer day if my OHSS is going to be a problem since they'll do another u/s then, unless I have major symptoms before then. Hopefully not and the ET will proceed as planned!

Take care and good luck to all of us!

Those are fantastic numbers, congrats! Drink lots of liquids and take care of yourself. Rest up for the big day! I'm looking forward to hearing how it all goes.

Sorry I'm terrible at this "post quick reply" thing. What I was woohooing was Shasta18's fertilization report. Those are some numbers!

Hope everyone is doing well. I can't believe we're actually, finally, in the throws of May - OUR MONTH! So much activity here - I love it. I'm having my FET in one week from tomorrow! Can't wait to join the 2ww gang.

Hey ladies!! My has decided to be late. I am suppose to go to the RE on Friday to get the ok to start stims. So far is 2 days late and no sign of arriving!

I am hoping this does not mess up my cycle. AH yes-- the emotional stress of IF.
I was watching Cold Case on Sunday and cried my little eyes out. DH was sweet-- he just handed me the ice cream I bought!! LOL

to us all!!!

Sarah, sorry about AF. Go figure. The one time you want her to show up on time she decides to be lazy. Ughhh. Hopefully she'll show her face soon. Still planning on going to the RE on Friday?

I'll be going to the RE on Thurs to check my lining - make sure it's getting nice 'n juicy for the transfer on the 14th. These FETs are so different from the fresh cycles. Far fewer visits. That's a good thing! :-)

[Haras]

Yep- still planning on going to RE on Friday. Knowning my luck she will appear the day of!

Shasta18-- great numbers!!!

to us ALL!!

OMG- I have had total memory loss and I am SOO glad ya'll mentioned the ppwk!! We have to turn it in on Friday when we go!

I love this board and all you ladies!!!

[IndieBlue]

YAY Shasta! Great report!!! Awesome numbers too ;0)

[Yogagrrl]

Hi everyone,

Elizabeth- you have to tell me what you think of CCRM, I was thinking about going there if this is a failure. Actually had a phone consult scheduled for a few weeks ago but cancelled it so that I could do another cycle here (I really like my RE and love the office, but am getting frustrated by lack of answers).

Shasta- OMG! I can't believe how many eggs you got! Not to mention, how many more they had to go in and check/drain. Take good care of yourself! (but, great report! I am jealous of your numbers - but not in a bad way:-))

Smee- sorry for your conversion to IUI. I am sure that is disappointing - but try not to be disappointed! This can be your chance to get a BFP without having needles passed into the walls of your coochie! It is an opportunity!!!!

Pris - great report!!!

Wow, we are really flying through the ERs and ETs so congrats to all of you who are PUPO! Try to stay busy during the dreaded 2ww. To everyone else - have fun with the shots (I look forward to them too) and to the first time IVFers - the trigger shot is soooo not terrible! Stress the PIO more,lol.

Sue

Hello ladies!!! Our first IVF cycle didn't turn out how we had hoped & prayed, but we're scheduled for FET towards the end of May.

I spoke to the embryologist a few weeks ago and we are going to thaw out all 6 snowbabies in hopes to transfer 3. that this cycle is a success & that we get to hold our healthy, precious baby/babies in '09!

Can't wait to hear of all everyone's s. Good Luck to everyone!!
