im Hi thank you for thinking about me.. his morning I had my u/s and Dr saw 2 follicle one at 10mm and the other very small and possible a 3rd. so he said it's up to me 2 more days of ing.. and then to mature them possible another 5 -6 days of inj. and the chances are only 10 % the problem is my age and the fact that I only have one ovary.. ( I had an operation at 18 to remove my ovary due to a cycts that was enlarged) so I was to discourage and said I want to xxcld ..Dr said it is probably a good idea..I wold be wasting money... I am ery sad .. but need to come to terms with it.. and beleive that my son was truly a miracle... Mary

Hi Mary,
I just picked up your message, I am sorry It took so long for me to post, my Father was here for dinner.
I am so sorry for you cancelled cycle, and for your news. I know how you must be feeling, for I can totally empathize, I have been done that road before myself. I am sorry you didn't have more follicles, and for how you are feeling. I too, had a cancelled IVF cycle, and only made 4 follicles. I understand your reasons for canceling. Also, not every follicle contains an egg, so it was probably for the best, but it's still a drag. Again, I am so sorry. (hug)-
I didn't realize you had surgeryand had an ovary removed. I admire you for trying so diligently with doing IVF, as we both know, it is a long journy, nd we put ourselves out there, and are willing to do it,. Our life revolves around meds, injections, bloodwork, and u/s- I admire your strength and courage, to try.
You have a beautiful son. truly, what a miracle he is. Again, I am sorry for your dissapointment, you are in my thoughts.

take care~
Hugs,
kim

Hi mary,
I too, have not been on-line the past few days..but have been thinking of you.
I am doing well. I had my 1st u/s last Thursday. It was really amazing. My husband and I heard the heartbeat. We have 1 sac, and our 1 little miracle. The first thing my husband asked the u/s tech. was "how many?" he is too funny...and she told us one, but we were very happy. I got released from my RE that day, so I just made an apt. today with a new OBGYN- the office was referred to me from my clinic. I have a gyn, but opted to go with someone new because of the hospital. The new Dr. is affiliated with a wonderful hospital that has a great reputaion, I hope I like the Dr. I feel a little ambivilent, becauseI did like my GYN, he did my laporascopy 2 years ago, to remove 2 bilateral cysts, I just didn't care for his staff, just not sure.

Anyway, thank you for your thoughts. I am feeling so much right now...I am happy, excited, and know I am starting to get scared, and I worry....Is that normal? I am sure itt is being pregant for first time. Any advice?? How are you doing??? How is your family? I hope your feeling better. Talk to you soon I hope! :)

Blakey...I was reading your original post and felt so relieved by your story. I just came from my RE and he said there is something wrong with my ovaries. I produce cysts even on b/c and my bloodwork is all over the place. He too mentioned the possibility of donor eggs which I just wasn't ready for. I was follistim the first time and did 300 units but only produced four eggs. He said he is going to up me to 750 units if my blood work levels out to where it should be. I was so happy to see you had overcome and were able to concieve. Good luck with your little bean.

Dear Bahootie,
Hi! yes, please don't let the cysts worry you. I have endometriosis, and never knew it until I started seeing an RE. When I first had all of my tests, they found 2 bilateral cysts on my ovaries. I did have those cysts removed, because sometimes, if they are too big, they will remove them, also if they are endometil cysts, (which mine were) usually they don't go away, they are usually monitored, and again, if they get too big, they will remove them for our own well being, and health. Alot cysts form from bring on fertility drugs, and even after menstrating every month, but these cysts (functional cysts) usually take care of themselves and will go away on their own, they will resolve themselves. Even after I had my 2 large cysts remved 2 years ago, I had reoccuring ones that came back after my IVF cycles. I have a new endometrial cyst on my right ovary, that has been there for 2 years now, and they are keeping an eye on it. I was still able to proceed with my IVF cycle, and my RE said it woldn't interfere with treatment, or if I was to get pregant. Anyway...I did get pegnant! Also, I though where my cyst was on the right side, I wouldn't produce follicles on that side, not true, I did...so as long as they are monitored, should be okay. What did your Dr. say? Was he concerned they would interfere with your cycle?? I found out, cysts are very common, a lot of women have them. Good luck to you!!

Hi Mary,
thanks for you words. I am trying to stay positive, and know things will go well. I made my apt. with my new oBGYN, apt is not until April 20th, by then I will be 12 weeks. I actually go in on the April 13 for a progesterone level ck, hopefully I will stop proj. injections by then. My levels were at 41, but my RE usually has you take them until 11th week, because by then the placenta takes over .

I will keep posted on my progress. Also, it will be goodnto have some advice from you, when I am feeling a little nervous. :)

Thanks again!! Goodnight, and yes, that is so neat re" your friend and the u/s wow, triplets!! Imagine!
talk to you soon~

Hi Mary-
Nice hearing from you. Wouldn't that be great, if you were pregnant on your own???? Hope so!
I am doing well, thank you. I was 9 weeks on Friday. The past 2 weeks I have experienced some nausea, and fatigue. I don't seem to have any appetitie, and my taste buds are always off. I never no what is going to taste good to me. I do feel fortunate that i have not had any severe ms, but it is enough to know I am not myself. We have started to tell friends our news, it's been fun. I will tell my family at Easter. My Dad knows, I told him 2 weeks ago. My mom passed away 7 yrs. ago, so I do miss here so much, especially now. My Dad was very happy for us. I am the youngest of 6 children, and he didn't know we were doing IVF/fertility treatments, so I think he was very surprised to hear we were expecting...and very happy for us.
I hope your doing well. I will keep in touch with progress. I just hope everything will continue to go well. My 1st u/s was on MArch 15, and I was released from my fertility clinic. Just waiting now for my OB apt, which isen't until April 20, seems so far away. Hope everything is ok.

Take care, and I hope you don't get your period!!!

Kim
