Hi girls,
Sorry been MIA on this thread - I've been over on the 2ww, but I think I probably should now be on the "needs a hug" list below. AF is on her way, so I had my beta bumped up to tomorrow AM instead of Thursday. Just need to get it confirmed and over with (not even bothering wasting a pee stick).  We are doing a natural cycle before the next IVF, so I'll be in the June/July group with a number of you that have had delays. I am ready for a break, need to get these nasty meds out of my skin! I wish all of you starting, stimming or in the 2ww much luck and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Quote:

Hi girls! Things are sure starting to move here! That's great!
Karla - I had horrible acne with my BCP's. Not cool at all, but normal.  I can't believe you're going on vaca with your SIL while she's pregnant, though hopefully you'll be pregnant by then! That would be so exciting. Are you going to tell them if you're BFP right away?Linz - You're just a follie overachiever! At least that's what my office keeps calling me. I'm sorry you're facing possible OHSS, and unfortunately, I don't think there is a lot to do to prevent it (except altering stims beforehand), but afterwards...well, you already know about drinking Gatorade. My clinic also has me measuring all the stuff I drink and all the urine that comes out. I'm weighing myself daily, and they are calling me daily asking me for all the numbers. I'm not sure if your clinic does this, but they gave me albumin in the IV right after ER to help prevent OHSS. Hopefully this won't happen to you and it might not! The nurse was telling me about her friend who had over 100 follies (can you imagine???) who didn't have a problem with OHSS and did a ET 5 days later! BTW, you can quit the cleaning frenzy, you're making the rest of us look bad!!!  Melanie - Sounds like you had a great ER and lots of good eggs! Congrats! MissKris - That's great that you're starting stims today! You're getting close! Elizabeth - You can join the "Follie Overachiever's Club" too. Wow! That really sucks that your ER is postponed again, especially since you're nowhere near home. At least you can take advantage of those awesome eating places a couple more days! Inourdreams - I'm so sorry your cycle isn't going to continue. I absolutely know how hard that is. You must be devestated I'm sure. And the hormones sure don't help... Just get through your ER for now. I'm thinking of you today!

Hey Katy- I've been following all you guys on the 2ww thread and you just hang in there for one more day! I know we always prepare ourselves for the worst- but look at CathyH- she was sure it was BFN and had spotting at look at that BFP she has! So we'll keep teh prayers coming for now. Let us know how everything goes tomorrow.
Kelly- My husband would be ROFL if he saw that anyone said that my cleaning was making them look bad! Oh my! He is the main cleaner- this is just a slight burst for me! Today I've been really good at sitting on the couch, with laptop and gatorade, and pants unbuttoned. My RE has already said they will keep a close eye on this-with the weight and measurements- not sure about measuring the fluid intake/outake- we'll have to see. I go back tomorrow at 1:00 for one last check, final instructions, and hopefully the okay to trigger. I hope I can avoid OHSS and get to transfer- but I guess if not, I'll have someone I know in the thread for a FET next month! Oh and I cannot imagine having 100 follicles! Crazy! Half that many is bad enough! I think I'm getting more bloated my the hour..........  OOh it is getting nasty here! Major dark clouds and storms rolling thourgh teh midwest! How are you feeling today? What have you been up to?

Linz - Hang in there with all of those follies. All I can say is keep drinking. I am not that far behind you. I should have my ER sometime this weekend or early next week.
 Kelly - How are you feeling? I hope your FET comes very fast. I bet you are counting the days. Karla - You should have seen my face while on BCPs - horrible sight. I hope it gets better for you soon, only a couple of days left on those nasty pills. Katy - Good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes. Keep your head up. inourdreams - I am so sorry about your road block but time will fly by and your time will be hear before you know it. Josephine (Tracy) - Good luck with ER! Let us know how it goes. vinjosmom - Hopefully your ER will get scheduled soon. I have had a time keeping up with everyone so if I missed someone, I am sorry. I go in tom. morning for a follie check and bloodwork. Hopefully, I will have ER sometime this weekend or the beginning of next week.

Katy- I agree with Kelly & Lindsay...Don't lose hope...wait until you get your call tomorrow...I agree w/ Lindsay...Cathyh was sure she had a BFN & got the surprise of her life today!! I'm
for you & we are here for you!!!! Kelly~ How are you doing my dear...? I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had break outs on these pills...Seems like several of us have endured this problem....I've never taken Lupron (so I don't know how I'll react), but I do ok on Follistim....I don't know what dosage I'll be on though...with my last IUI I was only the lowest dose a day....50 I think.... Yes, dear SIL has striked again y'all....& I had a total stinkin' melt down-- I'll have to fill you guys in later...I am mentally worn out-- its honestly so stupid & I acted so childish...I don't even know what's wrong with me today....LOL...OH well enough complaining!..... Lindsay~ On the cleaning front...Girl your DH sounds like my DH. He cleans mostly...I help but I hate it. I'm not a dirty person, but on Saturdays I would rather go goof & run errands & clean later...LOL....

As of right now...I'm not sure if I'm going to go on vacay after all....I need to think on it a bit more!.....If we do go & we have a BFP...I don't know if we'll tell them....? B/C of what happened last year it makes me nervous to tell people until I see a heartbeat & feel comfortable that the pregnancy is viable....I might strangle SIL before vacay even gets here!...LOL...OK, I know, I know....I'm bad!!!!
