Hey Karla!

I see you down there! Hope you're having a good weekend! Has visited you yet?????

[kaym82]

Thanks Cari-- great reminder!!!

Ok you guys-- I'm sitting here getting real frustrated about now....The last few months AF has started late; however I'd have symptoms by now...lots & lots of cramps, moodiness, etc.....At the beginning of the week I had some cramps & I assumed they'd get worse & AF would be here by now.....I'm worried now I'll have to go on Provera to get her started. My RE won't give you Provera until you are at day 37 w/ a neg. POAS. I'm at day 32 now....if I wait until day 37 & have to start Provera for ten days...ARG!! ...I know I'm being very impatient, huh???

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far....My DH is about to paint our bedroom & I think he is trying to sucker me into helping.....LOL....

I don't think you are being impatient!! I told my RE, when he said it would be over a month before my ET,that life is so funny! When my husband and I were trying for almost three years, there really wasn't that much of a rush. Year after year past and we were okay to just still be "trying." Then, I start this IVF process and I can't even wait a month!

Funny how we work sometimes huh? Hang in there; will show her face soon!!

Karla,

I know how you feel. Provera sucks but don't worry it will all be worth it!! IF is full of hurry up and wait! It can get so frustrating! Will keep my fingers crossed that comes soon!

Good advice. Another great thing about Activia yogurt, I found it helps tremendously with constipation that comes with the PIO's. It really gets things moving

Hey girls!! I've only missed a day. Wow so much is going on.

Giggles--I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to hear your report.

Karla--I hope you don't have to go on Provera either since you've already got everything ready and your heart set on this time. 10 days sounds like an eternity.

You girls were killing me with the ice cream stories that when I was reading back I had DH go out to get us some Brusters ice cream. You guys were making me so hungry. It was fabulous.

I have 5 more days until suppression check and hopefully will start stimming next weekend.

I've been having some Lupron related headaches but nothing too bad.

[Giggles178]

Just wanted to say thank you gals for my ER thread. This is such a support during IF and it really helps to have people rooting for you and going through it with you!

Karla- I hope AF starts soon. I totally feel you on this one. I was right w/ you until last week. I went to day 52! My Re had me do b/w and to make sure I had already O'd (I had), so then she knew it would come soon. S/t I think the more you wnat her the less she will come. she comes. Maybe you could trying bd'ing or wearing some cute white panties!!

Giggles-

I finally got my calender, and am not much of a lady of may either as my er is 6/07!! Hope I can stay too. You all are paving the way....

for you all!!

Thanks.

You can also get some pills at Walmart or Walgreens that are called Culturelle, they are the same as yogurt...but in pill form They are GREAT and I try to keep them in my system, taking 2 when AF approaches or I'm on antibiotic. I can't eat yogurt everyday....I've kind of lost my taste for it, but the pills go down easy and I know I'm getting my good bacteria that way

OMGoodness...you did not go to day 52!!!! Are you serious! I haven't broken my record yet, I've went 36 before....but I'm on 32 or 33 today. We've bd too....that wasn't any help LOL Although my husband is always glad to 'help'....aren't they all LOL I even completely forgot about her today and got out and dug in the garden, wore white and everything.....she's just being difficult!!! I can not believe that you actually went that long though!!! WOW!!!

I didn't even think about Yogurt .. I'm going to put Activa on my list of things to stock up on (along with Pineapple, grapefruit juice, and gatorade.

It just occured to me reading this that Provera is for stimulating my period and not just to further supress. I can't believe how confusing this can all be.

Not to make it all about me .. but, I feel the need to rant. I started this second IVF journey on Lupron almost SIX weeks ago now. Interestingly enough .. I haven't had too many Lupron related side affects. After my SECOND baseline showed I wasn't yet supressed, I started Provera and took my last one on Thrusday. So, should start any day (explains the brownie mix and donuts). In my first IVF I went for my baseline TWICE because I had cysts. So, for me starting Stims will be a big hurdle. I hope I can start early to mid next week. In otherwords .. I have been shooting lupron for six weeks and have another two or so to go .. I have now utilized every area of my tummy.

Ok .. thank you for the rant.

Have a great night everyone.
