Re: Lovebug Check In
I'm so sorry I slacked this weekend - we have family in from out of town and life has gotten crazy - and it's going to be that way tomorrow too, so I figured I'd post this now while I have a few minutes ... hopefully I got all the weekend updates!
Hope everyone is doing well, and everything goes smoothly tomorrow.
(((hugs))) to everyone who needs them.

"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian." --Dennis Wholey
Aegis, you're doing a fabulous job with the check-in - Thanks!
Hugs to all the Lovebugs
I'm in the 2ww at 1dp5dt. Any suggestions on how to relax and what to do when you're waiting?
Update: I guess I don't get my fert report until tomorrow. I'm kinda annoyed since it seems like everyone else gets their's the day after ER. I had nightmares last night that none fertilized, so I'm not looking forward to trying to sleep tonight without any news. Other than that, I am still pretty sore when I stand up, sit down, or empty my bladder. The symptoms don't really seem like OHSS though and I have been chugging Gatorade non-stop. Really glad this ER occurred over a long weekend...
Beta#1 (12dp3dt)= 353, Beta#2 (15dp3dt)= 1466, Beta#3 (22dp3dt)= 14,139, First u/s: TWINS!!
After 10 weeks of bedrest, our two little ladies joined us at 28w6d
Congrats to the BFPs and hugs to those who need them.
HCG shot tonight and ER Tuesday!
I really suck at staying pregnant
Love, luck, and hugs to all the lovebugs!
I am in the 2ww and it of course is driving me insane. This is such a cruel form of torture!
My beta will be this friday 2/24 and it can not come soon enough!
Aegis you are amazing for doing this! Can you fix my beta date? You missed the 2 in 24! You are a rock star!
Dx: DH - Azoo, Me - Mild PCOS
DH - sperm found! Seems to produce only for a few days every 70 days!

FET #1, transfered 2 embies 2/16/12 = BFFN; 1 snowbaby left in cryo

SAIF/PAIF always welcome
a special GL and prayers to my IF sister Gregermis
check out my blog!
Aegis, I hope you are enjoying having your family in town! Wow, looks like there are a lot of us finishing our cycles this week! Best of luck to all those with ER's, ET's and beta's this week!!!
PIO shots are going well. Transfer is now just 3 days away (on the 22nd). Cleaned a lot this afternoon. On Tues. I was planning on cooking meals for the 2 days of bedrest. Thinking a roast w/veggies and a light chicken/ celery/ green onion soup. For appetizers, was thinking to cook some whole artichokes, brocollini and make a blue cheese salad w/champagne vinegarette & pears. Also need to stock up on a few movies & magazine to look at those days.
-------------------------
TTC Since 10/2007 with no luck and a 'go with the flow' attitude
1/1010 FINALLY decided to have testing done, dx MFI
7/2010 - DH starts Clomid to increase testosterone and hopefully sperm count
10/2010 - Still low (but improved) sperm count.
11/30/10 - IUI #1 and only = BFN
February 2011 - IVF #1 w/ ICSI =
Chemical PG (Beta 1: 10, Beta 2: 19, Beta 3: 17) :-(
April 2011 - IVF #2 w/ ICSI = BFN :-(
September 2011 - IVF #3 w/ ICSI = BFFN
November 2011 - AMH level tested - .83 (normal for age range)
February 2012 - IVF #4 w/ ICSI = (best response ever yet still) BFFN
April 2012 - DNA testing - NORMAL, RE suggests cycling again with own eggs or using DE
On Break indefinitely...not sure we can afford the emotional and financial roller coaster anymore.
*PAIFW/SAIFW*
Aegis, you are doing wonderfully and it's much appreciated!!
Good luck all you Love Bugs!
Beta is Wednesday and this has by far been the hardest 2ww I have ever had. I tested yesterday and today. Yesterday was a bfn, and this morning was a bfn. It's still early, but I thought I would get a FRER to test. I held my pee for 5 hours and did it and...I don't know. I think I am seeing a 2nd shadow line but that hopeful part of me thinks it's a faint faint 2nd line. I think in the evening of 6dp5dt it would be darker. I mean, it's so light I have two put a bright light in it and squint to see it. Ha! So yeah, I think it's a shadow. Anyhoo, POASing tomorrow morning. I am an addict!
TTC since March/April 2010
DX: MFI - less than 1 million sperm, 26% motility
DH put on anastrozole to increase counts
June/July 2011 100 mg Clomid + TS IUI#1 & IUI 2 - BFN :-(
Forced break due to DH getting spinal surgery in August 2011
IVF - January 2012: BFN
FET in April 2012 - BFP at 6dp5dt! Beta #1 at 9dp5dt: 82.5, Beta #2 at 12dp5dt: 352 Beta #3 at 19dp5dt: 6000, saw heartbeat and one little bean at 5W6D!
After nearly 3 years of waiting our LO was born December 18th 2012!
Ok - I'm really getting the "testing" bug right now. This waiting is UNREAL. I don't really feel that many symptoms other than having to pee all the time and chest pain. I don't know if that is all that different from normal with all the drugs that have been in my system.
To POAS or not POAS...that is the question!
Aegis--as everyone has said, you do a fabulous job managing this check in!
Update:
We have 5 embryos growing and get our day 2 fert report tomorrow. I'm starting to get super excited about the embryos. I definitely didn't have this much enthusiasm during the first IVF cycle, so this is a nice change.
Good luck to everyone!!

I'm going to try to hold off testing until Friday. Try being the key word...

No worries, Aegis! We so appreciate that you post the list so often so that we can all keep up with each other.
Still in the 2ww. I am feeling pretty calm, but not very hopeful about it. My beta is Friday, although there is a chance I won't get the results that day. I will definitely test that morning at least. Last time, I was glad I had advance warning of bad news. I don't feel much of anything, same as last time, although I have been really tired. I have a cold though, so that could be why.

Good Luck LoveBugs!
I'm still on stimms.
That is awesome, hartigan!! Congratulations, and I am sure you will have some beautiful numbers tomorrow to go with your BFP!
Congratulations Hartigan!!! FX for some amazing #'s!!!
My cycle was canceled ....due to being overstimulated. Our u/s was Saturday...and ER was scheduled for Monday, yesterday. The nurse called us with the news saturday evening...and said it would be too painful for me if we proceed. It's frustrating knowing I have so many little eggs in there that are ready...and nothing to do with them. Still waiting for the Dr. to call with our next steps.
Good luck to everyone this week!!
