Indie I wish I knew more and had more to contribute. But I do think honing in on what you respond best to is helpful even if you end up doing IVF, right?

TF I'm thinking of you- possibly your last night not pregnant in a long time! I'm sending lots of good vibes in your direction and I hope there'll be something helpful I can do for you over the next few days/weeks!!!

Indie - I'm no help but I know you'll get your baby soon!

 

Hugs ladies. Hope your weekend is good/great/wonderful/exciting!

Indie - Nope. Next cycle. I wish it was this one. Sorry, I'm a lame cycle buddy. I'm sure your cycle will be nearly over by the time I eventually ovulate. Need to save up a few extra $ and I purposely have not taken clients during the time I expect to have all of my monitoring appts. Hmm I want to wait and see how you respond to follistim before thinking about ivf for you. Am I allowed to do that? :)

 

TF - Thinking and praying for you guys!!!

 

AFM - Really hoping last cycle was so long because I had my lap on CD4 and all my insides got confused from all of the poking around. I wish I could have it like most people. AF the first week, ovulate the second week. Try again if 2 weeks if that fails. Blah. I can't stop dreaming of injectables twins either.

Time for bed. Will be back for personals tomorrow. But, need to wish tf massive well wishes for tomorrow! I can't wait to hear all about it. Lots of love to you and your embaby!

Thinking of you today, Toothfairy!

Devilish: I was referring to there being a push in the media to discourage twin pregnancies, but that is so true about the hockey baby boom! That, combined with the crazy cold crappy weather explains why EVERY woman I saw at Ikea yesterday was pregnant. Even DH noticed it and got freaked out smile.gif. Btw, did you end up doing your Clomid cycle yet? How did that go?

Thank you all for sending so much love!! I feel so much more calm today than I did Friday. I'll update when I'm home watching movies! The transfer is at 11. Woohoo.


Sila- I hope it is the LAP that messed you up. You'd been having somewhat shorter cycles before that, right? Could've been suppressed from the BCPs too. The first day of full AF is the worst, treat yourself to something nice smile.gif

Indie- I'd agree with Sila, see how you respond to the follistim. For us I think the main benefit of IVF is getting the eggs out of the toxic endometriosis environment. That doesn't mean that with more, healthier eggs that IUI won't find a good one to make it through.

Devilish & Lida- so funny about the hockey baby boom. I thought we'd have mini baby booms when wee lost power for a week! What else is there to do??

Gtree- we didn't do PGD- hopefully they pick a healthy one! We don't want to know the gender either!

t minus 2 hours till toothfairy is PUPO!!

thanks for that reminder about toxicity, tf. i'm anxious to have an u/s to see if they see any evidence of endo. that does make a huge difference. i guess since i haven't felt endo-y for so long i forgot about that part!

Lidamama84: I'm on my 2nd cycle with 100mg of clomid. Last cycle, on 50mg, I O'd on cd 25, this cycle it was cd 14. Which is spectacularly early for me (Christmas baby FTW!) I'm going to stick to the 100mg next cycle, even if the doctor recommends the 150mg. I think at that level I will get all the negative side effects that I don't have now.

Done! Expanded blastocyst AA quality transferred with 2 early blastocysts BB to freeze. The camera didn't work so I didn't get a photo of the blast but I got one of them putting it in. Just laying here feeling like I might pee myself... 5 more minutes to go.

So since they couldn't give us a picture of the embryo we got this one of my uterus, the bright spot in the center is the embryo.

My knowledge level is still very low, but this is my understanding...

 

My first u/s I had 2 on the right side and 4 on the left. My last u/s my RE said the 4 on the left looked great (18,12,16,14), but the right he only saw one small one and he said "I don't think that one will make it".

 

Good luck! Keep us posted as you move forward.

TF - Isn't that the most amazing thing you have ever seen?!  You just watched your baby fly across your uterus and have a picture of it.  Rest up while that babe nestles in.

Tf - wishing you everything the best... Have been sending both you and your embaby healing energy for 3 days - hope it helps!
Indie, fkj - have been doing you both as well..
Lol will try and move thru everyone over time - hope you don't mind it's very relaxing for me and takes my mind off counting the days till I waste my next hpt lol!
If you want details go to my profile for Sally's website or google 'reconnective healing/frequencies' - I did the course because it felt so good 😃

TF - Ahhh I see your baby!!! So what movies are you watching today? Do you have tomorrow off or just the one day of rest? When is your beta? Sorry I'm not sure how to do the math with a 5 day transfer. Oh yeah. I forgot I took the bcps...

 

Dolphin - That's great! I'm really hoping for a better response with injectables. Even on 150mg (the highest) of Clomid I only ever got one follicle.
