Vicki- If I could bottle it and send it to you I would! Sorry to hear things are so hectic for you with work. I know the feeling. The lupron doesn't need to be refrigerated until after you open it, so it shouldn't need to be sent on ice. I have to get back to work my self, so talk to you later. |

Vicki- did you get your lupron yet? I went for my u/s and blood work today and I have no cysts. Yeah!!!! Now I am just waiting for af to arrive. How are things with you? |

Hi Vicki- How are you doing? Did you start your lupron yet? |

Hi ladies, |

Vicki- It's not just you it was the site. I thought maybe it was me too, but I noticed not one person had posted since the 10th. I actually sent an e-mail to the people who do the site on Sat. They actually responded and said they would work on fixing it. It took them a long time to fix, I wonder how long they didn't know about the problem. |

Thank goodness I don't have that problem. Working for your husband can be good at times. It seems as though my RE's office loves to play jokes however. They seem to love to schedule my bw & us for Saturdays and Wednesdays the two days we're not working. Always in the early am so I get to get up extra early on the days I can sleep late. It takes about 1 - 1.5 hours from the house to their office. If my appointments at 7 or 7:30 I can be in and out and back to work before we open at 9 on the days I do have to work. You think I would at least be able to use this as an excuse to miss work. |

Vicki- I really had no intention of telling anyone at work except for two women that I am pretty close with. I didn't even tell anyone the last time I was pregnant and had the miscarriage at 11 weeks, but I know some of the nosey few suspected. They would look very closely and stare at my baby bump. I showed really quickly last time and really had to watch what I clothes I put on. It wasn't something I cared to talk to about and still don't like discussing it openly. My principal didn't even know about it until my supervisor spilled the beans because I had excessive absences due to complications with the miscarriage. I wasn't happy about having to tell her about the IVF but I knew that I would have to be late quite a bit to go in for scans and b/w. So I figured I had no choice , otherwise I wouldn't have told her about what I was doing either. Oh well! Well at least if you are late you only have to answer to dh so that can't be too bad! |

Just an update- I am in full swing right now. My RE has me going for daily b/w. He is being extra cautious because last time I did just gonal-f my E2 was slow to rise then all of sudden escalated really quickly. So besides my stomach being black and blue my arms are going to be too. |

Hi Lyly, |

I am so aggrevated today and not feeling well either. I went to the lab for b/w this morning for an E2. It was suppossed to be done as a stat so they would have the results by 3pm and give me my dosage for meds tonight. I told the woman 2 times that it was a stat and she needed to call for a pickup plus the paperwork had a bright pink sticker that said "Time sensitve Stat" on it and she put it in the pile with everyone elses. When I questioned her she said "oh I didn't know that, I will do my best , but it is really busy so if I can I will" I told her that they absolutely needed the results today and that is why I told her when I walked in to call it in, but she was just like "if I get to it". Well needless to say my doctor didn't get my results so he had me waiting till now to get my instructions. He has no choice but to tell me to take the same dosage as yesterday. I am so angry that I drove 25 minutes to get bloodwork for nothing. What a waste of gas miles and a copay. Not too mention the woman talked about what was going on with me in front of all the patients. I am calling the main office for the lab on Monday and complaining and I refuse to pay my copay for the bloodwork. Today was a complete waste. I could have slept in and not wasted my money since I have to go tomorrow and they will have tomorrow's results before todays. Anyway enough venting. I am so bloated and feeling sick to my stomach. My jeans didn't even fit today. They felt tight when I put them on but had to open them by the end of the day. I had the bloating on the clomid and gonal before, but I don't remember feeling sick. How is it going with the lupron, did you start tonight? |

Hi Vicki- I am going to call the labs main office tomorrow and complain. My retrieval was originally estimated to be this Friday the 25th, but last time I went in he was figuring I would trigger Thurs and ER would be Sat morning. I will know more tomorrow when I go in for another scan. I had trouble sleeping when I first started the lupron too. Sorry about the headache I took some extra stregth tylenol and it helped me. The list of approved meds you got, is that for during pregnancy or just while doing IVF meds? My RE never said anything to me, but some of the other girls were told to take nothing but tylenol. It didn't really matter for me because that is all I take if anything since I have been trying. I do miss my ibuprofen though it works so well. That is so exciting that you are starting your stims tomorrow. You are going a long time without a check. I had to come back in for b/w and u/s after 2 days of initial stims and have had bloodwork everyday and u/s about every other day since. I don't know which is better. I am glad they are monitoring me closely, but at the same time it is draining and costly. They use the b/w to adjust my meds as needed. They increased my dosage of gonal and repronex on the third night then increased the gonal again on the 4th night. So now I have been on the same amount for 3 nights. I guess that is why they don't give a calendar. They want you to go by what they tell you because it can change. They figure if you have it written down and it changes you may get confused. Good luck with all your stims and I am praying we both see this cycle through to end! No interruptions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Exactly, No Interruptions. On my calendar they actually have a place to change your doseages as neccessary, and towards the end they have a lot of question marks as far as the actual retrieval date etc. I figure after next friday I'll be there every other day or daily depending on the size of my follicles. The tylenol does seem to help with the worst of the headaches anyhow. Last time, they didn't have to adjust the amount of my meds so I'm hoping for the same this time. |

With me they are always adjusting my meds. First they increased it slowly now they are decreasing it! My E2 went from 343 to 640 from yesterday to today. So now I am going back down on the gonal-f to where I started and of course more b/w tomorrow. I don't go in for another scan till Wednesday. So far I have about 8 or so nice size follies on the left and 2 that he could see on the right. He was having trouble seeing my right ovary. For some reason the partner seems to have trouble viewing my right ovary. My regular guy should be back on Wednesday so hopefully he will get a better look at my right side. I am glad the tylenol helped. It does't take it away completely but makes it more manageable. Good luck with all the shots tonight! |

The girls all say my left ovary likes to hide from the us. All they do is press on the side and scoot it over so they can see it. 10 follies so far, yea! have they told you how large they are? Last time I had one that was huge it was 16-18 while all the others were still 12-14. When my estrogen dropped it was the first to collapse. Your actual doctor does the us for you? Left the house without the tylenol this morning so we had to stop at the drugstore on the way into work. The headache was already starting to develop. |
