Hey girls Just wanted to get updates on what's happenin with you. I am on the verge of the 2WW. I hope I don't drive myself crazy with "symptoms" this time!!!

Renee- How's the meds working for you. What happens the next time you go to the Doctor's??

Sheri- Is this the cycle that you were in Oklahoma, I can't remember!!Well, anyway, how's everything with you? I hope good.

Anybody else have a success story about ttc for a long period of time and then it happened naturally? I think that would give our spirits all a little boost. Please tell...I'm all ears!!

Hey girl!!

I'm taking Lupron now.. down to 5 Units.. AF showed today so today is officially day one of the actual IVF cycle.. I should be starting stimulation injections on Friday.. The nurse is going to call tomorrow to let me know when my appt is.. Thurs or Fri.. I am assuming they will do a baseline u/s and blood work.. To make sure everything is great! I sure hope so cuz i'm so flippin' excited!!
Next week I will have ultrasounds and blood work almost DAILY!! Maybe it'll help the week go fast.. the week after that is the estimated EGG RETRIEVAL and TRANSFER!! then on to 2 week wait!! Man u girls have no idea how excited I am.. I've never felt so nervous, excited, scared, and GREAT about this!! I have so many emotions running through me!!

Glad you are doing well!! 2ww stinks!! I am hoping and praying for a natural BFP for you!! Try not to obsess too much.. Even though I know its so hard!! Just try to keep yourself busy.. pamper yourself!!

Have a good week!!

Andrea, it was last cycle that I was in Oklahoma. This cycle we are back into baby making mode! I should be ovulating this weekend, so I will soon be in the 2ww! Everything is going great! It will be even better if I get a BFP! How are you doing? You should be close to ovulating now, huh? I hope you get your BFP too!

Renee, you are soooo close! I'm getting excited for you. I just know this will work for you and you will be getting your BFP!

Here's some for us all! I will be for all of us!

***Yes, if anyone has any success stories, we would love to hear them!

I agree CARRIE.. She's just so rude and inconsiderate!! Of course she comes at the wrong times.. ALWAYS!! I'm sorry she showed on DH's birthday... atleast you get to get started though !!

Sorry af showed on DH's birthday. Yeah, it would have been nice for her to wait one more day. She always comes at a bad time! (Not that anytime is a good time) New cycles bring new opportunities though! Good luck to you this cycle! You never know, it may just be the one!

Thanks Sheri!

Another update.. Lots of follies growing.. ranging 9-11!! Doc says everything looks great!! Another appt tomorrow morning!!

How are the rest of you ladies doing ??

Renee- how did your appt. go today?? I'm getting excited for you!!!

Sheri- how's your 2WW coming along? how many dpo are you and are you having any sx?

Carrie- I hope everything is good with you. Are you trying anything diff. with this cy?

I think I'm at around 5dpo. Still waiting on sx, I know I shouldn't go off of sx only, but it is hard!! I am having a bit of CM and heavy bbs sometimes. I want more though!!!! I made a new thread in the 2WW forum for the girls who just got their BFP's and asked if they would tell what sx they had that were diff than the BFN cycles. Hopefully I get some responses. I know we just had about 3 new BFP's so we'll see!!

nothing really different for me this cycle....I ordered the Fertility blend for both of us, they had a 3 month supply package for men and women together that was on clearence sale, so it wasn't very expensive. I am waiting for those to come in the mail, but it is supposed to take 3 months to notice a difference anyways.....other than that, I don't know what else we could do different, other than standing on my head

Hey Andrea..

My appt went great.. I'll be going in daily this week I believe for blood work and ultrasounds.. The doc says everything looks perfect!! He was numbering off a bunch of different size follicles during the ultrasound.. I think the highest was 13 so far.. So they are definately growing!! He decreased my stim meds tonight.. so i'm responding good to them so far!! That's about it.. another appt tomorrow to see how much they have grown again.. check my labs again.. I'm hoping ER is Monday!! Then I'd be off work Monday!! and THURSDAY ( for the transfer ) and Friday for rest.. then of coursethe weekend.. that would be grrrrrrrrrreat!!

so.. as for you.. 5 dpo .. hmm.. I've never been pregnant so I probably wouldn't know a symptom if I had one.. but I definately am wishing you LOTS OF SYMPTOMS.. MORNING SICKNESS and ALL!!

Renee- It sounds like things are going great for you! Grow follies, grow!

Carrie- I hope the fertility blend does the trick for you and your dh. I know there are success stories out there! Hopefully you will be the next one! Good luck!

Andrea- It is hard not to obsess over sxs! I sure hope this is your month! Your sxs are sounding good so far.

Me, well I'm 4 dpo and feel absolutely nothing! I guess it would be a little early for sxs considering the bean probably wouldn't have even implanted yet. I will be on the lookout and will keep you all posted!

Good luck and to all!
