Hi MSL, MD
Today I saw the baby's heartbeat. 6w3 days. Its a singleton. I wanted twins very much, but my husband wanted a singleton, so he has his wish. I am grateful for what I have. Heartbeat was at 116. Have another sonogram scheduled in 2 weeks. I feel pretty awful though. I'm very nauseaus and feel very light headed and dizzy all the time. Having a really hard time at work. By the time I get home in the evening, I just crash into bed. My poor husband! Hope you two are faring better. Take care.

Hi MSL and Shady
How are you ? I had my ultraound las tuesday. I saw two sacs. but one sac is very small as compare to ohter sac. So i am not sure whether i will have twins or singleton. Next week i have appointment for ultrasound to check it out.
Everyday i am getting tired. After work, I am taking full rest. MY husband is taking care of house and food. I have to take progesteron 2 more weeks. Dr said once i will doine with my progesteron i will be ok little bit. Doctor told me that i need full rest upto we heard the heartbits.
Rest is fine
Take care

Shady Grove, MSL and MD

I am so happy for you all!!!  What great news to hear. It is comforting and encouraging to see all your work has resulted in what you hoped for. I wish you all so much happiness and a quick three months of unpleasantness.  Gosh, what us women have to go through.  Ginger ale and plain crackers do wonders. I hear there are ginger lollypops for this too. 

I'm doing the BW next week. Well see....

Hey I'm new to this. I have been TTC for 2 1/2 years.  I do have a 5 year old.  I just got off clomid from eight months. I went one month and then went to a specialist.  This month I did my first IUI on a natural cycle on July 4th.  I'm  in the 2ww.  I have had some cramping these past 2ww.  I had one egg.  My question is does cramping mean something good? I usally have cramps, but not this early.  They seem a little different.  my BB aresore around the outside and have been for almost the whole two weeks. Also been having lower back pain.  talk to Nurse yesterday, said not to test until After Monday.  I think I will wait until Thursday!!!  Hoping for a BFP!!!! Hoping this is the month for me.  Any help would be great!!

Hi Shelley,

Long time!  How did the cycle go???  I sent many a positive sticky thought to NC for you!!  I hope it was positive! 

We are on hold.  I went in for my b/w and u/s for a baseline after the 19 days of prometrium and my fsh was high and we got cancelled.  So, my ivf nurse put my on bcp's for two weeks and I go in on monday the 24th for a new baseline blood draw and u/s.  I am hoping we can start stimming then.  Last week was really disappointing, but I have this week to wait and see what they say on Monday, hopefully, we can start.

I think of you a lot and am so hoping you receive good news soon!!!!!  Positive thoughts and prayers to you!

Catherine



Hey there Catherine,
So very good to hear from you.  I've thought of
you often !  Wow your trip sounds excellent!
You sound good !  I think that is just what you
needed    I would love to visit AZ one of these
days.  I just got back from Holden Beach NC and
I was a lazy ole dawg !  loved every minute of it
too   .  I am doing the IUI thing on this cycle
with the gonal-F injections.  This is my first go
round with injections so wish me luck.  If my
prayers are not answered on this go round I will
have to really consider the IVF.  I'm not getting
any young and that ole clock is just ticking louder
and louder.  What about you ?? Going for the IVF
again this cycle?  Or just going to take a little break?
Please let me know what your doing and keep me
advised on everything.  I wil be praying hard and
here is to truck loads of baby dust going your way

Howdy doo Catherine,

Sounds like you and I both being pulled back by
our pigs tails...

I didnt get to do anything this month as I gave my
DH one simple task which was to get the insurance
coverage clearance and order the meds.  Well...
just so happen day 3 hit me on July 4th and he had
not done his job and the gonal-F was $579.00 for
a 900 pen.  I was going to need more that 1 pen
sooo I cried with frustration, cried with disappointment
and just cried.  The reason this was such a BIG deal
was because I had used June as my vacation month
and Aug is my 15 year wedding anniv so I am going
to the outer banks for a week soooo JULY was it
sister.  On the bright side I do believe that everything
happens for a reason and GOD is still and always will
be Awesome and in control.  I think DH learn a lil
bit during all of this ordeal he he he ....

YOU.... so now does this mean that the whole this
whole cycle is blown OR if the numbers
come back better ...can you proceed?? Hope I dont
sound dingy but I havent gone thru this yet..
Let me know.  I'll continue praying for you and your
DH.  I havent forgotten about my TTC ladies...
Just havent had much exciting to report.
(thanks to my DH.... he he he .. just kidding  )

God Bless and keep you healthy and productive!
Shelly

Hi there!!  Good to hear from you.  I am sorry about the mess up with the meds and the pen, timing is everything!  If I had a pen or some gonal-f I would send it to you.  I am on the follistem pen, though.  The meds are sooooo expensive!  Hopefully, august will prove to be a relaxing and wonderful time and September will bring good things!

As for me, I am hoping the if the levels are back down then we can just start the shots......not totally sure though, that is my impression.  We shall see!!!!!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!!  Catherine

You are so very sweet Catherine 
It is cool how we (ttc friends) have so much
compassion for one another.

DH has got the meds called in and all we have
to wait for now is AF in Sept.  We are very blessed
as we have learned that the gonal-f will be a
co-pay for us.  GOD IS SO GOOD!
Doing nothing over the past couple of months has
been so hard. I guess it is all part of the journey

You hang in there and keep the Faith!

Bunches and bunches of Baby dust to you 

Shelly

Hey Woman!  YES, he is good!  He does the little things that make pushing forward easier!  Like having you all prepared with meds (that were affordable!) for Sept.!!! 

Happy to have found a great friend like you!

I just heard back from my ivf nurse and she said that if the level has gone down by monday we will go off the pill and start the stim process four days later!!!  THAT is promising!

Keep in touch and enjoy your August!

Dear All,

Thanks for your good wishes. I'm still suffering from terrible nausea. I've thrown up 6 times since this morning (and it's only noon) now. This is my busiest period at work. I haven't told anyone in the office - so when the urge comes, I have to run to the bathroom at the furthest end of the office. It would be comical if it wasn't so painful. The doctor has prescribed a new medicine - Zofran. Let's see if it helps. I also have terrible headaches and am completely out of it in the evenings. The last time I ate a proper meal was almost a month ago. I'm hungry all the time,  but when I smell food, any food, it makes me sick. I keep telling myself - it's worth all the pain. I know it is, but I am suffering like hell. Hope MSL and MD are doing better than me. My last appointment with my IVF clinic is next week, and if all goes well, I will graduate to an OB. Please pray for me.

I went through my 2nd IUI cycle 5 days back....Now I'm just waiting. Though, I keep telling myself I won't think about the result...it just doesn't happen.
I must say, I do feel a lot more relaxed (during the wait period) as compared to my 1st IUI.
I'm sure god has something wonderful planned for all of us.
Love,
Apple

This is the first time I have posted to this site and I want to congratulate everyone who is positive and baby dust to everyone ttc. I had my first transfer yesterday a cell 7 and a cell 9 that was starting to compact. I am so nervous and want to know now. None of my other 7 embryos survived for freezing. so that is a sad thing to me. So hopefully i will have 1st time success. good luck
