Any other DISers trying to concieve? Reread OP for the QOTD!

I really thought that this was the month. AF hasn't shown up and I usually get it before my beta. It is just another month of u/s and iui's. The thing is I responded really well to the HGC. They said one follice was 16 mm and two weren't far behind at 15mm. I know 5 were over 10 mm. With those numbers they were afraid of multiples. It is funny but I thought maybe twins. She said since I responded so well maybe my doctor will up the dose of gonal f. I have to give them a call on 3rd day of cycle.

Hi ladies!

Denae- congrats on the job!

LisaB- Hang in there darlin!

I'm really concerned about Carla! CARLA! If you are around please check in! I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Well, my morning sickness reared it's ugly head. I had felt queasy all weekend, but didn't actually puke. Oh, but I changed all that! This morning I woke up (after a horrible restless night) and zombie-walked to the shower. My stomach felt a little yucky, so when I got out of the shower I ate a piece of toast with some peanut butter. Ok- feeling a little better...

I got ALL ready for work and started to walk out the door, when I thought maybe I should grab a bottle of water for the road. I went to the fridge, opened it up- smelled the hamburgers in there, and HURLED. Gross.

I thought it was all out of my system, but I puked again at work before I came home for lunch. I'm feeling a little better now, but it seems like nothing sounds good to eat. My mom made me (at my request) cheese and garlic biscuits and white rice with milk and sugar. But hey- I haven't thrown it up, so whatever.

Jen- I didn't really buy much at all yesterday. I got a cute little pregnancy calendar that has stickers for milestone days, and I bought some Preggie Pop drops (which aren't really helping, but they taste yummy).

My first Doctor's appt. is July 18. Feels like eons away, but I know it's not. I'll be 8 weeks by then.

I'm going to tell my supervisors at work this week so they don't think I'm throwing up because I'm a drunk or anything.

becky (beckmrk04).

During both pregnancies--I couldn't go anywhere near the refrigerator or I would hurl. My hubby cleaned it out and scrubbed it down several times--but it still had a smell that only I as a pregnant woman could detect. I am NOT looking forward to that again .

But at least hubby can set the kids up with their stuff in teh fridge and the are big enough to fetch it without me having to go anywhere near that.

Now I only hope to be dismally suffering with that in the near future!

 

[beckmrk04]

Lisa- yeah, I'm trying to remind myself that I KNEW what I was getting into! I actually wanted all of this! (Ok. I didn't *really* want the morning sickness, but I guess since it comes with the territory, I'll do what I have to do- which will include avoiding the fridge like it's the bubonic plague). I made DH clean out the fridge today.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Be forewarned--he can soak your fridge in bleach--but you may still notice *the* smell as if he didn't even wipe it down with water.

But it is a nice way to get a sparkling clean fridge!

 

[beckmrk04]

Ok, I guess I should explain- when DH "cleaned" out the fridge, that just means he got rid of the offending burgers, and *maybe* threw out some other rank leftovers that should have been last week's garbage.

He certainly didn't use a cleaner on it.

But, maybe I'll tell him that's the only thing that will help me...

 

[LisaB]

Well I made myself a nice sundae. Eddy's super vanilla ice cream with butterscotch and hot fudge and cool whip. Kevin knew something was up when I went for the fattening stuff cool whip extra creamy instead of fat free. light or sugar free

But, maybe I'll tell him that's the only thing that will help me...

Worked for me!!

But only a couple of flaws with that...

1. It really smelled like something died, so I wasn't lying and he offered.
2. After he scrubbed it down thoroughly and removed all offending product....very shortly there after--it still really smelled like something died. But at least it looked pretty from a distance.

 

[LisaB]

I don't know but I am having such a difficult time with this. I am very emotional about it. It is just so disguriging (still can't spell for crap)

 

[scifihippie]

Nicole, I wanted to say I have a friend on an acupuncture forum who has POF. There is another forum somewhere that she freuquents for POF. She's gotten some amazing support there and there are a lot of success stories for women who got the donor egg speech and ended up conceiving with their own eggs. And there are a lot of successes with donor eggs too. I'll ask her for the link. I think you could get a lot of personal support from women who are in your situation.
Do you mind me asking, what was your FSH and your E2? I have several friends on my acupuncture group that brought down an FSH in the high teens/low twenties into single digits with acupuncture.

LisaB,

Carla's beta is the 29th. I hope her computer problems are fixed by then!!

I don't know but I am having such a difficult time with this. I am very emotional about it.

Maybe you'll feel a little better tomorrow. Don't dread the next cycle - look at it as a brand-new start. Every cycle is different, right?


Going for my IUI tomorrow 8am. I'm sure I'll be online tomorrow afternoon (who wants to work when you can lay on the couch and dream of little eggs, right?)

 

[LisaB]

Still no AF yet. Good luck with your IUI Flying Belle

Hi, everyone. I don't have good news. On Monday, I started bleeding and cramping heavily. I met my RE in the ER and she discovered an empty sac. I'm scheduled for the D&C on July 2nd unless I pass it on my own, which I probably won't because the cramping is gone. The part that makes the angriest is that I was supposed to go the American Idol concert and my RE doesn't think I'll be up for it and said I shouldn't go. Why not just suck the rest of the life out of me?

I told her I wasn't going forward with anything else until she does some other testing on me. But, in all honestly, I don't give a flying fig what's wrong with me. Something is obviously wrong. The embryos are perfect. All of my tests have been fine. I guess I need some other tests, but I'm just not up for it.

 

[lil mermaid]

Carla,

I am so, so sorry.

 

[tiggersmom2]

I'm so very sorry Carla. I'll be keeping you and your hubby in my prayers and hope they can find something and make your baby a reality. I know it will happen someday - it is just taking longer than expected for the perfect baby.

 

[mickeyboat]

Carla -

I am so sorry.

Denae

 

[Maleficent13]

I am sorry.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Carla I am so sorry.

 

[Minnesota!]

Oh Carla - I can't even tell you how sorry I am. "It's not fair" doesn't even touch it. I think further testing is a good thing. It sucks that is the outcome, but hopefully it will prevent future heartbreak.

Becky - don't take this the wrong way, but I am so happy you are sick! It is a great sign that things are progressing wonderfully. So, will you be naming the baby "Coca Cola"? LOL - just read your tag!

Lisa - I am sorry you are having such a rough go.

Hi everyone. Just passing through.

About 4dpo here and hoping that we did the trick. If I got pg, I would be due mid March, but a c/s most likely on 3/4, 3/6. Both very important days to me. Keep your &&&&&..

Good luck to all who have a big week ahead of them - betas, IUI, etc.

 

[Minnesota!]

Carla - thinking again - an empty sac isn't unheard of at this point, is it? I mean, where are you at in your cycle? When does the fetal pole present itself? Will you get another u/s before the D & C?
