@dragonfaerie sorry I didn't mean to be "impolite". As you can see on my first post, I am new and maybe it's my fault I didn't read the do's and dont's for posting ! I have been trying to conceive for over 10 years so don't assume that I don't understand what everyone is going through. That is why I am on this site for support. Maybe I got too excited to post but I thought this is an open discussion and go here for support. I don't feel very supported right now, tnx!
@yelllow22 don't beat yourself up over that, especially if your clinic didn't make a big deal of it. I've found before when I was in similar situation that a day or two don't really make much of a difference, so I'm sure you're fine. Hang in there and hopefully letting those emotions out felt better!

@Tulips29 k I will delete. Sorry ladies didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just in disbelief since i've never had a positive. I guess i posted on the wrong group in my excitement. Baby dust to all.
lavieestbella - I don't think anyone meant to make you feel unsupported. We can certainly appreciate that you know how we feel after trying to conceive for so long. I think that's part of the reason to do an introduction post so people can get to know your situation. When we don't see that and all of a sudden only start seeing pictures and positive results, it comes across as bragging even though I'm sure that was absolutely not your intent. We would love to support you in this journey because you're right, our little community has each others' backs and wants to see everyone with a BFP. I think maybe you just posted in the wrong thread. This thread is for ladies who have been going through their egg retrieval and transfers in March & April. There is also a board for pregnancy after IF which could be a good option as well. Congrats on your BFP and hopefully you will be able to enjoy every step of this new journey.

@yelllow22 Hey cycle buddy! Thanks for the welcome back! No worries about your meltdown. This is a really hard long process and when you feel that something is not going right it can feel very overwhelming. And sometimes you just need a good cry! @zantster Thank you too! I'm doing better, though I'm feeling pretty run down. Not sure if it's the Lupron, AF, allergies, or what.
Excited for everyone this week!!

@lavieestbella I am sorry that you don't feel supported, it was not our intention in the slightest. I did not assume you do not understand where we all are; I read your post and feel for your pain of TTC for so long. I am excited for your BFP and wish you well and good health over the next few weeks and months.

Just got done my ET and they put two BBs in me not sure if they said 4 or 5 because I was just so excited. The other two embryos I had are not doing so well so we will be seeing if we freeze. Now it's time to relax

@ultratomato yay!!! Lots of sticky thoughts to you!!
So to top off the fun of my incredibly sore ass - I take back everything I said about the PIO being easy - the garbage man was backing down our street and smashed into my SUV, sending it up the curb and smashing in the drivers side. This is not what I needed today. And the company was less than helpful. I live in a Detroit suburb and cars can only be parked on the street during the day. It is not drivable. The Garbage company could not guarantee they will have it picked up before the night restrictions. Grr!!

@ultratomato Congrats, your PUPO! Fx for 2 stickies!
@vssbrm ugh, so sorry to hear about your vehicle. Hang in there with the PIO. It became more tolerable after a few injections, but some days are worse than others. I'm now in my final DAYS of it and I'm having sciatic pain on my left side from inflammation pressing on my nerve per RE. Haven't heard anyone else with my complaint.

@Drove2u congrats on a lovely Beta! @vssbrm OMG I think we may live very close to each other. I'm in Royal Oak. It sounds like you're in Huntington Woods or somewhere nearby. My clinic is IVF Michigan. Oh and I'm very sorry your vehicle was hit. Hopefully the process for being made whole goes smoothly and you'll be back in a good SUV soon. @ultratomato I'm glad everything went well today. Now on to the TWW! @Tulips29 Your time will be here before you know it. @dragonfaerie I'm looking forward to your ET
AFM It's just crazy to think that in less than 24 hours this is actually happening! At work today I overheard a conversation between an excited father-to-be and a veteran mom. She was telling him how amazing she found the experience of being a mom and how he would get so much out of it. I felt like she was talking to me even though she wasn't. It was like I was being sent a message not to be concerned and just go with the flow. Now I'm looking forward to tomorrow more than ever. I've got no fear.

@zanster !!! I live in St. Clair Shores, I go to IVF Michigan!!! Small corner of the Internet! I thought we might be at the same clinic since we are both doing the same study. The thing that threw me is they try to do all their transfers on the same day, so I thought maybe not, but then last week the nurse mentioned they did switch days. I wonder if we have passed each other before. I used to work in Royal Oak for the last 6 years. That is so cool! Good luck tmrw. Let me know how it goes, Thursday can't come soon enough.

@zantster , @Tulips29 , @dragonfaerie Thanks for the support, I decided to move forward and keep taking my pills since the nurse didn't say anything else, and just be positive
@zantster and @vssbrm I have been lurking on this tread from the feb/March IVF FET thread. I go to IVF Michigan too. Just curious who you Doctor is. We have had such a wonderful experience there.
Hi everyone! Goodness, it's so hard to keep up! There are so many great things going on with everyone and I'm so excited to see everyone's progress!
I started red my period today (a couple days early) and had a sonogram and medicine training today and we are starting injections tomorrow. According to my sono today they saw 11 Foliciles! I was surprised because my FSH was 15.5.
i can't believe my shots start tomorrow, I know it will all be a crazy ride the next couple weeks. We are doing s fresh transfer so please say prayers. This is our first IVF/ICSI. TIA!

Excited for everyone this week!!

So to top off the fun of my incredibly sore ass - I take back everything I said about the PIO being easy - the garbage man was backing down our street and smashed into my SUV, sending it up the curb and smashing in the drivers side. This is not what I needed today. And the company was less than helpful. I live in a Detroit suburb and cars can only be parked on the street during the day. It is not drivable. The Garbage company could not guarantee they will have it picked up before the night restrictions. Grr!!

got my first beta which was 174. I get to stop estrace but still doing crinone and PIO. second beta will be on Thursday morning.
congrats @Drove2u my beta is scheduled for cinco de mayo. Keep us posted on ur betas
@vssbrm ugh, so sorry to hear about your vehicle. Hang in there with the PIO. It became more tolerable after a few injections, but some days are worse than others. I'm now in my final DAYS of it and I'm having sciatic pain on my left side from inflammation pressing on my nerve per RE. Haven't heard anyone else with my complaint.

@vssbrm OMG I think we may live very close to each other. I'm in Royal Oak. It sounds like you're in Huntington Woods or somewhere nearby. My clinic is IVF Michigan. Oh and I'm very sorry your vehicle was hit. Hopefully the process for being made whole goes smoothly and you'll be back in a good SUV soon.
@ultratomato I'm glad everything went well today. Now on to the TWW!
@Tulips29 Your time will be here before you know it.
@dragonfaerie I'm looking forward to your ET
AFM It's just crazy to think that in less than 24 hours this is actually happening! At work today I overheard a conversation between an excited father-to-be and a veteran mom. She was telling him how amazing she found the experience of being a mom and how he would get so much out of it. I felt like she was talking to me even though she wasn't. It was like I was being sent a message not to be concerned and just go with the flow. Now I'm looking forward to tomorrow more than ever. I've got no fear.
