Just do your best to stay calm. Try some breathing techniques while you are at work. Deep breaths in from the nose, let it out through the mouth with control. Very deep breaths! It does really help, but you got to do it for several minutes.

Stacie - You did good sweetie!!! Yay for 18 lovely eggs! KUP on the fert report and rest up!

Mel - I posted in DD and Multiples...so excited for you sweetie!! God is good!!

Amy - Take it easy and enjoy your last day of relaxing! At least you have a short week at work. Sorry about the quesy-ness!
Thanks hun, my stress reliever for today was going to Dh's for lunch since he owns a pizzeria. I got salad but at least I got out of here and now I feel a million times better. Thanks, I'm so relieved my mommy's okay too. I can't live without her and I can't imagine anything ever happening to her. She raised my brother and I and we weren't close to my dad growing up and when they split up, she was my everything and always has been. I'm feeling better and really glad I came to work today. At least work is keeping my mind off things. And when people kept throwing crap at me, guess what I did? I threw it right back in their face. I'm not taking on more work than I can handle right now especially because I need to take it easy. DH keeps reminding me to relax and whatever gets screwed up here at work, gets screwed up. I can only do my best and he's right. Plus praying really helped me as usual.

I hope you are doing okay as well.

Milk away honey!!!! You relax and take it easy. We want to make sure those babies in there are sticking and holding on tight for the next 9.5 months!

Sorry you were feeling bloated and nauseated. Is that normal with progesterone?

I know I haven't been around as long as you have but I am so excited for you!!!! I commented in the June DD room. I was thinking about you on my way to work today. I was wondering when your U/S was because I don't remember you mentioning it this week. Thank the Lord that you and your babies are doing okay. Good luck honey and please keep us posted and don't leave us for a while, we love having you here.

Gerbeme ~ I'm heading over there to look now!

Everyone else or anyone I'm missing I hope you're having a great day!
Yep, I had one butt shot and everytime I tossed and turned, I could already feel it. lol. I did what the nurse said and kept the heating pad on my butt for like 20 min. I was about to use it on my belly anyways so I figured "might as well" and it helped so I didn't feel the oil trying to move around in there. I just felt the soreness at night and today it's not too bad at all. I guess I'll be looking forward to the soreness in each cheek too. BRING ON THE SORENESS!!!!! I'm ready for it!!!!

I'm sorry all I've done is complained the last few days. I've been such a whiner and I hope nobody hates me or is mad at me. I was in sooooo much pain and if I had expected that, it wouldn't have been that bad. The worst part I think was the reaction to darvocet and vomitting. Yuck. So anyways, I'm happy those bad days are over and even though I was miserable, I would do it again in a heartbeat.... I just pray that God gives us our miracle baby/ies and we wont have to go thru that again. But whatever is in God's plan will be. I love you all. Thank you so much for the love and support.

So I'm expecting transfer to be easy breezy... I noticed the girl that had transfer in the recovery room next to me was in and out in 2 hours and I was there for what seemed like 10 hours. lol. Will I get crampy or anything or just not feel anything?

18 is my favorite number and I'm sure yours now too Thank God ER went well and you got so many eggies. Hope they're all mature and will all fertilize so you can have some frosties for sibs. Grow embies grow!!!

I was just thinking the same thing, to comment

Dena - how terrible, but I'm so happy she wasn't hurt. The driver got just what he deserved; they should throw away the keys to his cell while they're at it. I'm glad you're better too; listen to DH, you're no superwoman and the last thing any of us ttc needs is stress, so relax. Don't worry about whining, there's no way we could be mad at ya or hate ya. If we didn't have each other to vent to, we'd go , so all you want, we'll still be here for you

Mel - Haven't checked June DD yet, but I'm going right there. I'm anxious to hear your update.

Traci - Two more days to go but I know you're a momma in the making already The beta's just gonna confirm that

Amy -Queasy? Hmmm!! hope that's a good sign. Milk away and enjoy the rest of the day

Rhonda - Hope you're hanging in there

Rach - You too sisterfriend, I've been thinking about you.

From the main forums page, you can click on the link called "Expecting". From there you can opt any due date month. It is listed above all the different threads for expecting (Expecting 35+, Expecting with Multiples, etc. ).

Here's the link: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/for...splay.php?f=21

Good luck!

That is how it was explained to me, somelse may want to chime in and clarify further.

Hope that helps a bit
Perfect that's the same info I heard too!

Today a good friend of mine had her second baby via c section this morning. A beautiful, precious baby girl. I can't wait to go see her.

You know, its times like these where I reflect and look at this journey and I am truly so happy for her. This morning I saw her and she had the baby still in her belly, a few hours later, her life is now changed and she has a baby in her life again.

The past few weeks I have been helping her prepare for the arrival of her baby. And after my dissappointment of my failed IVF cycle, this truly helped me. I know that my time will come where I will be preparing for the birth of my child. As she was leaving for the hospital she said "your next"...she has been a support to me even though she was able to conceive naturally.

I know its sometimes hard for us to digest seeing others have babies, especially after all we go thru. But to truly appreciate the miracle of conception and life if a beautiful thing no matter who it is.

So as I prepare to go off to the hospital and to go to see the babies in the nursery, still knowing that I desperately want that so much; being bitter won't help. Embracing the moment makes it so much more enjoyable.

In times where we think of others becoming pregnant and it not being us; yes we can have our moments of sorrow, but then reflect that one day it WILL be us. Our time will come when we see our beautiful babies come in to this world.

Good thing I'm not on the stim's yet, the hormone's may have then gotten to me at the hospital if I was .

Had B/W yesterday am. My RE's office called last night. My b/w looks "great" and they kept me on 225 Follistim with 5 units lupron. Tomorrow I have my u/s and b/w. Retrieval should be this weekend! I am thrilled/exchited/scared/hopeful. But most importantly, Ready.

Will keep you all posted on how many follies I have cooking.

Awww thank you. You are so sweet too. I u.

I hope it's been textbook, lol. Anything can happen and I pray God takes care of me during all of this no matter what happens. I am really getting anxious for tomorrow morning to get my fert report on my embabies.

Luckily DH is home with me this evening so I wont be biting my nails and anxious. lol. I'll just watch lots of tv and try to forget all about it. Which reminds me, I need to go to get some movies for this weekend or tomorrow. DH and I are going to need to watch LOTS of movies especially if DH expects me to sit on my butt for 4 days. DH almost kicked my butt last night. I must say I am so blessed to have an amazing husband. So DH has been doing EVERYTHING, including doing dishes which he hates to do. He refuses to use the dishwasher. If I forgot something upstairs and I was downstairs, he'd go get it right away. Usually I'm the busy bee running all over and I let DH relax, but no way, not now. He wouldn't let me lift a thing. Then he went out to take my mom to ER yesterday and he was about to do the dishes when she called... So he specifically told me "DO NOT TOUCH THE DISHES" well when I got up to make my soup - dinner to take my antibiotic with I was waiting anyways and did the dishes. He got soooooo mad when he got home and they were done. I tried lying but he can see my smirk and said my friend did them. He was sooooo cute! I am so blessed to have him in my life and if it is only the two of us forever, then I'll still have more than I ever needed and forever be grateful.

Ok, I am ready to go home now. YAY, only 30 more min.

Thanks Donna, you are so sweet. And yes, if I was there, I would have kicked that drivers behind!!!!! I have a loud mouth when I need it and I definitely would have been loud at that moment! Nobody would have been able to pull me away, that's for darn sure. I'll protect my family no matter what and if anyone harms them, I will go postal. lol.

Beautifully said. I have tears in my eyes. You know I used to be the one that said "why not me" and now I think "what a miracle" and I'm so happy for others. I think we just need to keep our faith and know that one day, it will be our time and we will embrace that moment even more. God bless you, you are such an amazing person and always so strong. I know those hormones get to all of us and it's the hardest thing but I'm so proud of you. Your friend will love you more for being there with her even though you are dealing with all these difficult times.

I was really mad at my SIL before but now we have become so much closer and I'm truly happy for her and her hubby. I went thru alot and I regret feeling how I did but I've prayed and apologized to God that now I feel so much better about the whole situation. Even if IVF doesn't work for us, I will be there for her every step of the way with whatever she needs from us and I guess we can live in their moments of happiness which helps us too. My SIL keeps saying how she cant wait for us to get preg too, she keeps calling to check on me and telling me good luck and everything, honestly I'm amazed because I never thought we'd be close again after our fued last year. We were very close before the fued and then we both must have gotten hormonal and You all know what happens then... lol. I think we are truly growing as individuals dealing with this infertility journey and if anything it is making us stronger women and we appreciate the little things in life so much more.

Jenn, you continue you amaze me, please dont ever change. I cannot wait for God to give you that miracle you so much deserve. And I cannot wait to be here to see it all.

Dena- It sounds as you have a wonderful, supportive husband. Find some good, light hearted movies to watch this weekend. Put your feet up, pop some popcorn and enjoy . I can't wait to hear how your embabies are doing tomorrow!!

My friend who I was talking about has been so supportive during my entire IVF process and has gone thru it with me. She was one of the lucky ones that said she wanted to get pregnant, and next thing you knew she was. Every day, she asks how am I doing, where am I in the process and helping me thru it.

The journey thru IVF like you said makes a stronger individuals. We are brought down this path for a reason. We may not know why now, and we may not be happy that we have to do it; but there is reason for it.

I was talking to my mother last night and I told her that you become very resilient going thru any medical fertility treatments.

I can't be sad I'm not pregnant yet; I can enjoy the life God has given me and being fortuante for the things I do have. Our time will come and one day we will look back and say wow, that was a journey but it was all worth it!

Well said. Jenn.. You are amazing..It is great to have yo around..

Dena.. relax and depp breathe as Rhonda said.. It will calm you down...

I am on Day 2 of Lupron... and I dont have any bad side effects..prob bcoz it is still early... I think like my RE said I read too much on the Internet and expect the worst.. he has banned me from reading anything abt IVF as I already know all that I need to know and trying to dig into everything is not going to help.... I only check this forum and dont browse anything else

After 10 days of Lupron I have my Baseline and I should start stims the next day.. I cant beleive I have only 3 more days on BCP. Time does fly...

God bless everybody with BFPs..

I only check this forum and dont browse anything else

After 10 days of Lupron I have my Baseline and I should start stims the next day.. I cant beleive I have only 3 more days on BCP. Time does fly...

God bless everybody with BFPs..
Thanks Uma!

Good to hear you aren't experiencing any side effects of the Lupron.

Its great that you aren't going to be looking up symptoms etc...for IVF on the internet. I am doing the same thing on this cycle too. Last cycle I was a junkie looking up every side effect, twinge, comparison, you name it. Oh no, not this time. I can make you go crazy, lol!

I got 5 my days of BCP and start Lupron in in 2 more days so our ER's and ET's should be really close to one another

I had to be on lupron for 27 days before my Baseline, and the only reaction I had was bloating. but it came and went. A little less of an appetite too. but that was it. Best of luck!

So anyways, I'm happy those bad days are over and even though I was miserable, I would do it again in a heartbeat.... I just pray that God gives us our miracle baby/ies and we wont have to go thru that again. But whatever is in God's plan will be. I love you all. Thank you so much for the love and support.

So I'm expecting transfer to be easy breezy... I noticed the girl that had transfer in the recovery room next to me was in and out in 2 hours and I was there for what seemed like 10 hours. lol. Will I get crampy or anything or just not feel anything?
Don't worry about venting...that's what we're here for!

Transfer was super easy compared to ER! The worst part was my very full bladder...honest! You'll be fine!

Will keep you all posted on how many follies I have cooking.
Sounds great! Can't wait to hear how many eggies they get!

I would like to heavily consider IVF as we`re behind on growing our large family and we`ve been TTC for 4 years with hypothyroidism. Anybody with this lovely health issue do IVF? I have my eye on doing this in Prague as it`s far cheaper and try for twins.

Morning ladies!
Mel - Congratulations!!!

Rhonda - I got teary eyed thinking of you and your DH reading posts together. I'm so sorry, again. I'm glad to hear you are still going to be around, and maybe, you never know, we can be on a good cycle together in the new year with Kim and Donna and whoever else is pushed out til January.

Stacie - Congrats on the basket full of eggies! That nurse was a downer - don't pay her any attention. Hope the little ones are fertilizing and splitting away!

Mominwaiting - for the good update!! You are so close to retrieval.

Amy - How are you doing?? I hope you have totally recovered from the retrieval drama. Only about a week or so left to wait, right?

Dena - You've been through a lot!! I'm so glad your mom is ok and that you are feeling better after the icky retrieval. Sending you tons of , too.

Mrssomuchmoore - This room is rocking. I hope your stay is short.

Sending lots of to everyone and anyone I missed.

Hi and I have hypothyroidism and even though it's been under control for a long time now, I am still not able to get pregnant with Clomid, Injectables, Iuis or on our own. I am in the process of IVF right now and will have my transfer either today or Saturday depending on my Dr's phone call in about 30-45 min I'll know which day exactly. I'm hoping this will help you to conceive a child as well as help me. I also had high prolactin which might have messed with my thyroid and my prolactin has been under control now. The Dr. seemed to think that the prolactin started causing my hypothyroidism and I think she caught it early enough where it didn't get super bad (I was at a 2.5 level) but for TTC they want it between a level of 1-2 and the last time mine was checked it was at 1.45. Just make sure you take your thyroid medication every morning before eating and don't eat for an hour after. I think it took me a while to get used to it and I am finally strict on how I take it, that way it's more effective on my system.

If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to ask. Everyone here is so amazing and supportive. You will learn so much here.

Good morning sisterfriends! I'm in such a great mood today. I'm so hyper and just so optimistic that IVF is going to work for us. I cannot wait to get the call from my Dr letting us know how our embabies are doing. I'm positive it's going to be great news and I'm going to stay positive and optimistic. I can't wait to have my embabies back in my belly.

I got the new Joel Osteen book on audio (It's your time), of course I pre-ordered it. He is just so encouraging and I love listening to him. I know alot of people don't like him and that's their own business but I love him. He is so inspiring to me to help me have a better outlook on life. I have his other 2 audio books on my iphone and when I really feel down, I try to listen to him and my attitude immediately changes. I feel like God is putting it in my heart to listen to him so I'm not negative and sad or depressed. Anyways, this morning I felt like he was speaking to me directly on my journey and I got so teary eyed. He was saying to stay positive no matter what and keep praying and keep your hope and faith in God. What you desire, is coming soon. And I just felt so inspired and I'm going to keep listening to this and I'm sure I'm going to learn so much and understand so much more by listening to his amazing words.

I'm so pumped. I'm so, I don't know, excited and overwhelmed and I know God loves us all and he will bless us. We just have to believe, be patient and know that our miracles are coming soon.

Thank you honey. How are you feeling/doing? I'm so glad you are going to try again in January. I know God will bring you a healthy baby soon and I can't wait to see it.

Dena, you enthusiasm, excitement and attitude during your journey thru IVF is definitely going to be bringing you a BFP VERY SOON!!!!

You are such a breath of fresh air and I love coming on in the morning to read your posts.

I admire your energy.

Keep it up girl!!! You are a few shorts weeks away from fulfilling your dream and your BFP!!!!
