I am new here, my husband and I start stims on Oct 1st. We have been trying for the last two years and I have endo. This is our last stop on this train after discovering that I only have one ovary and it had a large endometrioma on it. I had a lap in March and we did three back to back stimmed IUI's. I respond well but we just can't seem to get a connection. After the last iui our RE moved from Indiana to Texas to start a new practice so we are treking there. We are very excited but afraid to be hopeful. I would love some buddies to cycle with and to support to. I never knew so many people faced this problem, never knew it would be us.
Helen, I think you made the right decision by going to the wedding. Nero is right, if you hadn't gone you would have been stressed about that. Thanks for the water tip....today was actually a little less uncomfortable. I will keep you posted!
I agree with meemo! Helen you did the right thing! I'm so happy to see all this good news and progress.
Nero, hope you're feeling better and not too sick.
Jerseygirl...good luck with the ER. I had mine yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. DH took hood care of me. Complaints: sore stomachs (crampy) and constipated :s feeling much better today and was able to go in to work. Feel very bloated though. BUT it doesn't matter because we have 7 fertilized (lucky #7) eggs :) looks like we're doing a 5 day transfer. Crossing my fingers!!
Question ladies...I thought we only had to wait 2 weeks - which I know is going to seem like an eternity to see of we're pregnant but yesterday a nurse told me about another test two weeks later called the viability test?? At which point she said we could than tell people we're pregnant?! Is that right? Will we have to wait a
month?! :(
My thoughts are with all of you,
JB xooxoxo
That is what i thought anyway, then an ultrasound to determine how many have implanted and heartbeat. I am interestd what a viability test is though???
Meemo- I am sorry you feel so crappy. Maybe you will get a bunch of good eggs and your body will be ready to grow those babies.
Well the transfer went well, we transferred two and were able to freeze 3. I'm feeling okay, just SUPER nervous. I hardly slept last night. excuse me if this is too much info, but I kept waking up in the middle of the night thinking that I was bleeding. I have had two miscarriages and can not stop thinking that it is going to happen again. I know that I must try as hard a possible not think this way and really focus on our hope to be future babies:)
Meemo~I am so sorry that you have to go through this right now, I also had a set back after we did an IUI back in June because I ended up with a HUGE cyst and can understand your frustrations with having to put things on hold, but like you said at least you are able to produce a lot of eggs!
Wishes~It looks like we're exactly at the same point!
Crossing my fingers for everyone:)
I had my ER today and they got 27 follicles. They are still worried about OHSS though. I was told I had the biggest ovaries they have ever seen. Hmmm...is that a bad thing??? They said they will call me tomorrow and let me know how many fertalized. They are keeping an eye on me the next few days (With OHSS you can put 2-5 pounds on a day) as long as everything looks ok we will do the transfer in a few days. If my symptoms get worse we will have to wait six weeks for the ET.
Just sitting around relaxing tonight and tomorrow. I am in a lot of pain.I got sick from the Kodine too so food isn't too appetizing.
I wanted to share my great news! My test came back positive today! I go back Friday to make sure my numbers are going up.There really aren't any words to describe how I feel right now! I'm still shocked. Now I'm hoping and praying for a healthy baby. I was so scared I had made the wrong decision of just putting in 1 but I'm glad we followed are first choice.
Thanks for all the support I couldn't have gotten thru this without you ladies. You are all in my prayers and I hope we get some more positives!I'll post my 2nd beta results Friday!

Wanted to let you all know that our first IVF was not a success. I got my period the day before my test. I am obviously am so disappointed, angry and down right sad. Last night was the first time I have seen my husband so upset. Through two miscarriages he has always kept it together, however another let down has truly crushed us both.
I don't know where we are going to go from here. We still have three to use, but something is just not right and we need to figure it out before moving forward.
Hope you are all doing well. Nero congrats! Hope to hear good news from you guys soon:)
