Gabbie - I loved the location - we stayed at Bay Lake, but they use the same transportation. I loved watching the fireworks from my balcony and hearing the music from the water parade. The food court is kinda small, but it worked. Enjoy!

Thanks for the suport. She had breast cancer 2 years ago and beat it. It was a huge shock that it came back so fast. She is 44. and has a DD11.

oh man, praying for her.

Just an update on me - on clomid and bravele this cycle - went in for a U/S on Monday and had 3 follicles measuring 12, 11, 10mm so they are having me do 2 more shots of bravele and then come back on Thursday to recheck and hopefully at least 2 are at 18mm so I can do the trigger shot - fingers crossed!

sounds great, pixie dust for big ole follies on Thursday!

E, are you going to wait to test at the doctor, or are you going to POAS? My post-retrieval instructions said not to test, and I'm such a rule follower that I didn't. I walked in to have the blood test and one of the docs was on the elevator laughing at the fact that I still hadn't tested, and then all the lab girls were making fun of me. Don't send me home with papers that say not to test if you think I should! Since you don't have the ovidrel issue I would imagine your tests will be a little more accurate than mine would have been early on.

wow, that's totally inappropriate!!! I'm sure you could laugh about it now since you got a positive result, but I'd imagine that would have REALLY STUNG if it had gone the other way...kwim?

Believe me the thought has crossed my mind, especially over the past couple of days. I'm thinking that I really want to enjoy this time. I'm pretty sure I have a good grasp of reality and we're also very hopeful for the future. Realistically if all I have is this time then I want to enjoy it to the fullest, on the counter side if this is the beginning of something wonderful I don't want to miss a minute of it! The progesterone has also been known to give false results so I don't want to chance it. OMG I just realized I have 4 more days! I'm going to go puke now

Prayers and hugs to you all.

I just realized....it's corny, but hey, it might just work.

When we go see the fertility dx, Chinese New Year is starting up....the year of the Rabbit. Verryyy lucky!

So who knows? Maybe it might just be fate for us to get this started now....at least that's what I tell myself. lol.

Girl I was shocked when I counted! Believe me! I really hope that's what will happen on Sunday. We are keeping positive . It's funny, Mike was talking bout having people over for the game on Sunday but i thought it might be better just to chill since we really don't know how it's going to go that morning. If we are in a "positive" mood then we can always do a last minute thing

MEN! They just don't get it. I was in the mentality of we are not planning a dang diggity THING...not a THING during the days leading up to my blood test. LOL

Ugh....so I think AF's arrival is imminent.

Saw a small amount of spotting just now. Really upsetting because I'm never usually this late after O'ing. I still have to go in for bloodwork tomorrow morning.

On to Clomid/IUI #3 I guess. The doc said that after this round we will move onto IVF because she thinks the small remaining endometriosis on my left side is our issue. It's not large enough to warrant surgery, but she doesn't think injectibles and IUI will help.

Good idea about chilling! It's funny how the football mentality in Chicago has completely taken over and everything else is secondary. Go Bears!

oh man....so it could be preventing fertilization? I hope the spotting is NOT your period....any cramping?

heck you should have seen Louisiana! The Saints is all anyone talked about. We are all pretty depressed that they didn't even make the playoffs. "we was robbed, I tell ya!"

Thanks. Last week, my RE told us that she's not convinced that fertilization has been occuring, so it could be preventing it. No cramping yet. I've had an odd uncomfortable feeling in my lower abdomen since last Wednesday though. Last month was my first AF since starting Clomid and it was TERRIBLE! I was in bed for basically two days because the cramping was so severe. Plus, the RE's office told me I couldn't take Advil until they got a negative blood test. Luckily I was off of work for the holidays. I'm just hoping that this month won't be as bad.

Ugg honey that just sux! Spotting is the number one nerve starter for all of us. My dr actually cleared me for Tylenol but absolutely no advil. I popped a couple tylenol last night cause my butt was uncomfortable and I wanted to sleep. I still have my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks E. I called my RE office to see if they wanted me to postpone coming in until Friday. That way they could do the bloodwork and Day 2-4 ultrasound in one visit (assuming AF starts full blown by tomorrow) but the nurse said absolutely not that bloodwork must happen tomorrow and we will go from there. She said spotting isn't a BFN yet, so I'm trying to stay positive.

I'm really praying for you to get great news on Sunday!

 

[Falltime]

Good luck! Are you planning to do IUI with the trigger or just try naturally?

Thanks! This is my first medicated cycle and we will be trying naturally
