Tanner I can imagine how you feel, can you figure out if it has been 2 weeks since you had sex, up to the day of the implantation which would have been yesterday because you could take a test if its been 2 weeks since you the day it could have happened, I would get excited too, let me know what happens, I have absolutely no cramps at all, but lots of bleeding and blood clots, I hope it doesn't last really long?? I will call them in the morning though and see what they say?? talk to you soon.

Thanks Tanner for your thoughts! I hope everything is going okay for you too. It could be implantation bleeding, I have heard, that is very common, so you never know!!! All the best to you, hope your feeling better also...sorry for your frustrations with your cycle also...but it will happen!!! Sending you positive thoughts...I will let you guys know!! Good night!!

well it look slike you two will both have something to tell me mon hope all goes well for both of you, im be here awaiting to find out what lies ahead for me, even if ist neg i just dont carei wanna start the injections again. i wont test yet i wait to see if i get any preggers symptoms i have none, except breaking out and that could be pms too.

sooo Kim do you have any good news?? I finally called and talked to them today, yes its normal to start bleeding she said usually within a few days of stopping the meds you bleed they told me, but if I wanted to start shots today and come in for my u/s and b/w I could, well I got upset and said ya know I am pretty upset that it was canceled I said I think you started my meds way to high and she said yah that is a little high, I will talk to the dr and call back, well then she called back and said they were really sorry it was canceled but that is the dose they start everyone with, which didn't make me feel any better, how could that be when everyone is different so now I have even more doubts about that place!!! so had a bad day today cried a lot, then the nurse pract, tried to call me a few times today so I will call her back tomorrow and just see what she has to say. I can't imagine they start everyone with such a high does, she said next time they would start me with 75, and I told them I don't think there be a next time. I am still bleeding so bad!! so tanner how are you doing any symptoms today?? Let me know.

Hi Cheryl, and Tanner :)
You guys.....I am pregant!
I still can not beleive it !! It is like a dream, and dosn't seem real!! I had my bloodtest early this am, and had my nurse LM on my home answering machine. I waited all day, and my husband too. I got home at 7:45 pm- And we listened to the message, I was so nervous... and then my nurse say congratulations to you both, I was in shock, and still am. My hCG was at 287 I never know what the numbers mean, but she said that was great. They like to see above 100-200
Progesterone level was at 29

I just can't beleive it guys! thank you both for your thoguhts...I just pray that everything will go well the next 9 months. It is so early on right now, but I am enjoying this moment.
I will tell you both that it is going to happen for you!!!1 Keep beleiving, and keep trying, it will happen. I was starting to doubt if it would happen for me, especially being older, and after trying for so long, but it did!!! I know it will for you both too, I just know it!!!!! Thinking of you...thank again!!!! I hope your both doing okay...I know their is going to be good news in the future for you both!!

Big hugs,
Kim

EVERYOEN IS DIF AND I DONT BELIEVE THEY WOULD START EVERYONE OUT ITH THAT HIGH OF MED, LOOK AT ME I WASNT AND MY DR TOLD ME B/C OF MY SIZE AND AGE THEY WOULD NEVER START SOMEONE OUT SO HIGH.

HOPE U HAVE A BETTER DAY FOR TUES

Hi Tanner and Cheryl,
I hope you guys are doing okay.
Thank you both for you well wishes, and thoughts, your both so nice.
I still feel like it is a dream. you hit it perfectly Tanner, when you said I was glad not to hear neg. news, because your right, we have been dissapointed in the past, and have gone throguh a lot of hurtles to get here. Even before I started with my fertility clinic, I found out I had moderate endometreosis, and bilateral cysts. I had surgery to remove them, and then had to wait a couple of months before starting treatment, due to having my ovaries, "wake up" so to speak...then we found out my husband had a low count, and that is why we moved on to IVF/ICSI after the 4 iUI's-
I agree, I think sometimes it is a hit or miss with some of the protocols that the Doctors prescribe, and they are looking to say something, to cover what they did wrong. Sometimes, they have you beleiveing things, that aren't true. It's hard for us, becasue any women going through what we have gone through knows we are vulnerable, and we will beleive what they tell us, but they can be wrong! Cheryl, have you thought about switching Dr.'s? I agree with you Tanner.

I had 2 embryos transferred. No, I do not no yet if theirs 1 or 2 that impanted, wow...I am just taking it one day at a time, because as I said, I still can't beleive it!

Yes, I cried! after hearing the message, I just couldn't believe what I was hearing...I have waited a long time, and was begining to think maybe it wouldn't happen.

Thank you both! Tanner, I hope things are better with your cycle, you too cheryl. You are both strong, and I know your time will come!!!! Sending you lots and lots of positve thoughts, and encouragement!! Talk to you soon~
I go in tomorrow
Hugs to you both,
Kim

kim-i think ur gonna have to comeout of disbelief and start belieiving its finally ur time. i know its easier said than done, how long did u actually try. i bet you ve been through alot of ups downs emotionally an physically and money wise on top of it, but it was all worht it. u actually never said when ur af was due or if ur having symptoms yet? not much of an update for me, still waiting time to pass. cheryl i hope ur doing better today feel like were loosing u as a talking buddy here, u used to be on faithfully every day. keep ur chin up, it will happen

Hi you guys, I am here still, I had a better day today, a/f is still so bad. It is the best one yet no cramps at all, its the weirdest one yet!! We actually looked into another clinic, the prices actually look much lower too, we started at FPNC because I was reccommended by someone who was pregnant with twins at the time and she said how much she loved it, I still haven't talked to the NP I just didn't want to talk about anything today since I was feeling better. I know they won't do anything to change it so I don't know if its worth my stress. But we are going to try and take some time and figure it out later what we are going to do, figure out the financial situation. Its true though we listen to everything and anything because you just want it to work ya know but I am learning so much especially with how my body works so I will for sure ask more questions, so we'll see, you haven't lost me, I am so happy for you Kim I was thinking about you today, can't even imagine to finally hear a positive, Tanner when is your a/f actually do, have you tested or anything yet to see if you are maybe preggers?? well good night, I will talk to you both later. :-)

no i havent tested yet too afradi one minute i think i am preggers the next i dont think so, so ill call dr tommorrow and probaly get tested mon and get to start provera yeah-i hate that med-it makes me a devil. i think its a good idea or looking into a new place a change just might do the trick-talk to you soon

Sooo my sister in law is pregnant again!! :-( everyone kept it a secret until now, everyone knew when we were all in florida together and they didn't tell me so I wouldn't be stressed out right before we started which I know is very nice, but I feel stupid and pathetic and sad, I am sure she was excited but kept it in because of me, they were only trying for 3 months and with the first one that is 2 she got pregnant first month off the pill after being on it for like 15 years, so I am happy for her but very sad!! I have a question you know how things turned out at my clinic do you think now that they know my body I should do it there again since they now know or should we try some where else?? I am nervous going another place they use different meds and they may react different this place will lower the dose and maybe know more about what they are doing what would you do???? Also to ease my mind we have decided to wait until July to do this one more time, and if it fails we are going to look at doing IVF in January of next year, that way it will give us a year to save and hopefully only have to take a small loan out, just setting those dates have eased my mind a little, well fingers crossed for you, you may not need those shots this month!! that would be so exciting, let me know thanks for letting me vent a little I am happy for my sister in law just sad its not us, you know what I mean, me

Hi guys,
yes, it is tarting to hit me...We tried for 5 years. As far as when i would have gotten my period, probably would have been last Sunday. Since I am taking progesterone injections, (I have been taking them since my retrieval) to prepare and support the lining, so I wouldn't really see AF until I had stopped them.
Cheryl, I am glad you are feeling better. I know that must have been hard to hear about your sister-in-law. I know your happy for her, of course...but I know how your feeling, because you want it to happen to you so much...and it will. I beleive it's a different time for everyone. You both are younger, and I think it is a good idea sometimes to take a break from all of it, I felt that way after a IVF cycle..I would take a couple of months off, to give my body a rest.
I think we're your young, you can wait...and decide what your next step will be. How are you feeling tanner? I know it has been a tough month for you also,,,but it will get better, I just know it, hang in there kido! ;)
I think if you stay with your present Dr. and clinic, I would meet with them, for a consultation. I would ask some questions about your last cycle, and what they thought happened/re: the meds possibly being too high??! I would ask them what they would plan to do differently the next time round etc...to prevent you from developing too many follicles..too quickly...see how you feel after meeting with them, you may feel better about everything, nd want to put your trust in them again. they should and will modify things for sure, because they know now how your body responded, and will know what to to differently.. Go with your gutt, and your intuition You will know how you feel after the consult. My Dr. always would want to meet and discuss with me the cyle, if it was cancelled, or if it wasn't successful,...always a goodidea to "re-group" make sure your both on the same page, so to speak. If you don't feel good after the meeting, or the plan they have regimated for you in the future...I would possibly get a 2nd opinion. Again, sometimes it's just the little tweaks our dr.s do with our protocl, that can make a huge difference in the outcome, so see how you feel after meeting with them. You'll know if you want to stay or look elsewhere.
Good luck in whatever you decide.

Good luck to you too Tanner. I am sure your anxious to see what's going to hppen, so you can focus on your next step too. Every step you guys take, is one step closer in your journey...try to view it that way.....it's all about choices, and we are so blessed to be ble to have options in what we want to do. It will be okay......regardless, of what happens..I know you both will be Mothers someday!

Have a great night!!

Kim :)

Thank you Kim for that and you are right that does make sense to talk with him again and see how I feel, I know once some time passes I may feel better, I am so happy for you, you give such great advice, you will make a great mom I am sure you are so ready!! I hope you continue to tell us your journey, I look forward to it. If you don't mind me asking were any of your cycles canceled before its time?? I keep trying to go back and read but its to much for me, it took my cousin 3 cycles of IVF for it to finally work as well she now has twins but they are older I think about 6 now, so that is scary for me too, because for sure its one shot for us unless we win the lottery!!! anyway in the meantime we will try on our own who knows after almost 3 years maybe it will work. good luck and hope you are feeling great.

i first off just have to sayi love this brd and u guys are amazing i really enjoy coming here and it will defintely help once i start again b/c i will need big time support, kim you are newer to our post and glad u came i as well hope u stay with us frequently throughout the week to keep us updated in urself and to give such wonderful insight on our dilemas. i agree with kim cheryl u need to meet with ur dr, thats what i tried explaining to you after it was cancelled, u just wanna hear what their plan is, y they think things went they way they did and get ur questions answered by ur dr, alls we can give is what we thought might be happening, but only they know for sure why they do the things they do. i know me and hubby felt so dif after meeting w our dr and knew we had come to the right place. if u feel uneasy after the meeting or it feels like they are covering themselves u can always seek help elsewhere and take everything with u to the next place they are ur records and u have every right to them and it will help the next place too. i like ur idea about jan and saving money i just dont know if i could be that patient especially since u've spent so many yrs already trying, ive been at this the least amount of time out of us, and it kills me. im sorry to hear about ur sister in law, that would have thrown me over the edge, i have 3 new people at work just found out and im so jealous and watching their bellies grow its hard. i dont understand why it happens so easy for some and problems for the rest, it just isnt fair. my cousin also had her baby yesterday and she was the hardest for me to get over(long story) so i went to see him today and hes cute alls i could think was this was suppose to be me, not her. i know one day i will be there, but im just a very impatient person and liek things in the now. well take care of the both of you, i will be ocntacting my drs office tommorrow and see what they say. take care-kel
