Hey neighbor...I live in Arlington Heights! My doc is Jacobs. Our preg test is scheduled for the 22nd. How long did you take off work before going back? Did you tell anyone at work? I work in a school and a lot of people know since I have been gone so much lately. I am a little nervous about questions when I get back. Any survival tips?

It is hard to stay down, but force yourself to! This is a cruicial time!
How have you been feeling? <y cramping was bad after the retrieval andI was so sore all over. But..after the first week I got better.

Hey wolffie,
we are mirror images of each other. I took 4 days off and thursday was my first day back. Everyone at work knows-- first day back was exhausting. I manage a retail store in Highland Park; on my feet all day. Most of my symptoms have gone except cramping and swollen bbs. My advice is just be open and honest; nothing to be ashamed of. If anything, it is a beautiful process. How is your husband taking all this? Are you doing endometrin or the shots?

Hi Lisa -
My husband is taking all this very well. He is a very positive person. I experienced a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in June. Before we knew it was ectopic we knew there was something wrong but not sure what. My doc thought it was going to result in a miscarriage. Our BHCG was normal but progesterone was not. My husband thought everything was going to be fine while I was trying to save myself emotionally. He is convinced this IVF will be successful. It's wonderful that he is so positive but I am still trying to remain guarded but hopeful. How has your husband been?
I am doing endometrin suppositories 3x daily and progsterone shot every 3 days. Also the vivelle (sp?) patches. What are you doing?
By the way I grew up in HP...ironic.

For the most part I have been feeling fine. Some cramping the last couple days which made me nervous but the doc said it's probabaly still my ovaries recovering from the trauma of the retrieval. My boobs hurt, but that's about it. Did you experience any other symptoms?
Blood is scheduled for the 22nd.
From reading other posts it looks as though things are going really well for you!

Wolffie,
I have been married 3 year to the best guy in the world. how bout you?
I am actually not. I am on prenatal; baby asprin and endometrin and that is it.
Are you? If so how does that work?
I actuall had a ultra sound at the BG office; Marut is also in FCI. Anjabelle who is on this forum also went to the hp for her transfer; Isnt that a crazy coincidence.
I work at Enaz next to Country Kitchen. what do you do
