MELISSA- i am suppossed to test on the 5th but i am debating on whether i will or whether i will wait a little while to test. i am so nervous about testing since last time i tested and then a week later i started bleeding so i am thinking i may wait until the week after a/f is late and test cause i am so scared that i will test and then start bleeding again like last time. i hope that everything works out for you this time. dh and i have decided that if it doesnt work this time that we will try again. even though before he was like if it doesnt work this time thats it. he was just hurt after having to terminate the last time. good luck

cmel-its a good idea to read a book on ivf at least you will know what you are dealing with and take care of your ear-slow...girl dont be so nervous everything will be alright just relax... remember that this is not the end of the world....good luck and keep us posted...

Hey guys! Slow i'm praying hard for you!!! Will you do ivf? Anyways happy new year if i dont talk to you guys before then! Hopefully 2007 is our year!!

hey girls star- i know i need to relax and i am most of the time but then when i dont have anything to do i will start getting anxious about it because when i am not busy i cant keep my mind off it..lol..MELISSA_i am not sure if i will do ivf or not. i think that they will want me to go ahead with a few more cycles of clomid and then injectibles before they will want me to move on to ivf. so for awhile anyway i wont be doing ivf. but that can all change im not real sure yet as to what they will want me to do if this cycle doesnt work. i will jsut have to wait and see and then see what my options are first. if it comes down to ivf then we will do it, even though we havent discussed that yet, i am sure if it comes to that then dh will be all for it. he thinks that i am pregnant because he gets sick every morning and my sister has been craving tacos and throwing up everyday, but i havent had any signs at all so we will see.

AF showed yesterday so i go in tomorrow for a day 3 u/s - hopefully i can begin the bcps!! Well just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Hope it brings us all BFPS!!!

melissa= good luck to you and i hope that the new year brings you some happiness soon. i will be praying for you. take care

Hey guys, Happy New Year to everyone!!! Well i had my day 3 baseline yesterday and started the bcps yesterday too! My dr. said i had a chemical pregnancy so basically the embryo implanted but then stopped growing. So i guess the good thing is it can implant! I think its all a #s game and a little bit of luck involved too!He also says its less than 50% chance when you only implant 1 - i guess you have a higher chance 1 out of 3. He is going to keep my meds the same this time around. I just hope my ovaries produce more mature eggs this time around so i have 2 good ones to implant! Right now my ER is tentatively scheduled for Feb 7th!! Hope this is it this time!!! I want this more than anything!!!

Melissa- i am so sorry ot hear that. liek you said though at least now you know that they can implant, its just getting the little embies to stay and grow. i know that everything is going to work out for you though. i hope that this is the cycle for you. hey were is everyone lately. it has been slow on here. i hope that everyone is doing good take care and good luck to all

So sorry I've neglected everyone lately. I've been fighting of a flu and just haven't felt like doing much of anything until today. Melissa, so sorry to hear AF showed. I truly feel that it's gonna happen for you soon though... hang in there. Thank you ladies for your warm wishes. So far so good... no morning sickness (though the flu made up for it) just really tired. My first doc appt is 1/15, and I'm so anxious for it. Just want to know that things really are going as well as they seem. Almost seems too good to be true considering how hard it was TTC in the first place. Anyway, I'll check back when I can. In the meantime, STICKY BABY DUST to everyone needing it. Luv ya'll!

Hey Ladies - well i had my consult today - i'm a little down today and emotional - my fsh and lh levels were really low this time around which was odd, my dr. wants to do another sonohistogram - i guess they like to repeat every 6 months and also we are going to do an MRI to check to make sure there is no swelling around my pitituary gland so i'm all freaked out. Its just hard b/c im only 29 and it just doesnt make sense. I'm not responding as well to the meds either for someone my age - i'm taking 6 vials where usually 3 would be plenty and the response from this last cycle didnt really improve to much with the extra meds. Also my embie are sometimes sluggish when growing too so i'm so fearful and hopeless right now. If i could just get more embies so i could have more to transfer i'd have greater chances. My dr. is going to lower the lupron to 2.5 once i start stimming so i hope that helps - maybe i was being supressed to much and this will help, but than again i have the risk of ovulating prematurely, ugh!! He said if i really wanted to he would do a day 3 tranfer for me but he said he' had higher success rates with the day 5, he also said if i wanted to switch to follistim instead of gonal f i could but again they are about the same but you never know i could react differently? Basically i said i wll stay on the same meds this time, but if there is a next time i would switch it up!! Anyway sorry for venting its been a depressing day for me and i just needed someone to talk too!My dh left today to help move his mom to FL and wont be back till late sunday night. I just feel so bad b/c i want our own kids and i feel not like a wonan b/c i cant conceive naturally like i should be, i so want to give my dh kids and it kills me i cant, i just cant live w/out a family - its really devastating time for me right now! Well i have to get up super early to go give bllod work - it for my yearly physical. Thanks for listening! Hope all is well! I have an ear appt tomorrow - my ear is still swollen and bruised from when i went to the accupunturist. Next thursday is the hystersonogram and them tomorrow an im calling regarding the MRI - i feel like all my days off consist of b/w or dr.appts -not fun! Step hope yuo are feeling better! Cant wait to hear how your appt goes on the 15th! Hey Slow!

Mel-hang in there ...i am sorry that you feel like that but you know what when the right time come comes it will happen for you ....and only god know when its going to come.....dont be upset we are all here for you...slow-whats up girl hw you doing...step-i think you will not get any morng sick but may be this flu will continue to stay this whats happening to my friend ...rest of you BABY DUST

step- so sorry about the flu. i have had it for 2 days now. poor dh ahs been doing the cooking and cleaning. i havent been sleeping much because i can breathe and because i am coughing so much. my tonsils are swollen and i have been having fever and chills. i can handle all of it except the stuffy head. i cant stand not being able to breathe. i ache everywhere. MELISSA-i am so sorry that you are down. i know that this is taking a toll on you as it does to all of us. i think that we run ourselves down so bad ttc. i think that is why i am sick i am just so run down from all of it. i know that it gets depressing at times and it feels like it is never going to hapen for us, but i do think that timing is everything and when the time is right then we will get pregnant. maybe lowering the lupron will help and not make your embies so sluggish. i wish you the best of luck with everything. STAR-i havent tested yet. i wont test until a/f is late. i dont feel like i am pregnant, but right now it is hard to tell if i am having any signs because i ache everywhere. lol well take care all and good luck.

Hey Ladies - well my dr. appt for my ear went well - i ended up having a huge cyst behind my ear that was full of puss - yuck i know, he had to numb the area and then cut it open to drian and he also stiched a tube from behind my ear so it can drain, not fun!!! i go back to the ear dr. tuesday to have the tube taken out and then i have a physical on Thursday! I'm on antibiotics right now so its a good thing i'm on the bcps right now and not stimming - i also am taking perkasit(spelling wrong) and it makes me itch!! Thanks girls for the support!! Slow so you are wiating till tomorrow or monday to test?? Praying a bfp comes your way!

cmel-good to know that your ear problem is sorted....but mine has started out of nowhere! well yesterday my left ear was burning a bit so thought it was because of the straightning iron i have used the night before on my hair there was lots of steam coming out of it and maybe it got burn...but i am using it for 2 years and nothing of this kind ever happened.....to make it short i couldnt sleep last night because of the pain and i can see bit if the skin peeling off...ouch....took 2 panadol and could sleep after 1 hour....i gotup and saw my ear swollen and my husbant could see lots of puss were it was peeling yesterday.dh took me straight to dr and the dr couldnt figure out either that why it happened.....because of the puss dr said it is infected so he gave me some antibiotics and cream and painkeller....i hope it get better still painfull to touch .....if it does'nt get better in 3 days i have to see a surgen....

Star where on your ear was the puss?? They should check for cysts!!! Hope your ear feels better soon!!!

cmel-it is on the boney part of my ear and i could see it...it looks bit better now dr told me not to break the blister .let see if continue getting better and the infection dry up.....Hope you all are doing fine....Take care
