Sorry to hear that! Waiting is so difficult! I hope the next TTC cycle is worth the wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705791 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:59:02 +0000 kentuckygirl 705791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So as of my last update I thought I was going to be able to actively TTC on my upcoming cycle since my cyst was much smaller. Unfortunately my estrogen levels are too high. I am still waiting on AF after being on BC last cycle. Today is CD 39 and I typically have been having around 26 day cycles for the past year and a half so I am frustrated. Looks like whenever my next cycle starts I will probably have to go back on BC for another cycle. So I am stuck waiting again. I will be thinking of you all but probably not be around HB much. I need to create some distance since I can't even try for quite a few weeks. Take care my friends, I'll be back in a month or so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705771 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:54:25 +0000 kentuckygirl 705771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: I don't have any info to share about E2 levels but wanted to send you tons of best wishes for ER! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705768 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:53:30 +0000 kentuckygirl 705768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: I am so sorry to hear your first round didn't work but so very hopeful for your FET!!!! Best of luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705654 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:32:58 +0000 Shutterbug 705654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: yay that's great news! I'm glad you don't have to wait, and I'm sure you've heard this a million times in the last few days, but I've heard that FETs are sometimes more successful because you're not packed full of fertility meds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705638 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:27:12 +0000 Mrs.Someone 705638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Glad that the pregnancy seems to be starting off well. Maybe try to exorcize the word "infertile" from your description of yourself? It might help you heal a bit. In C + B terms, see a positive energy field surrounding it ;)</p> <p>Thats one thing I'm glad I haven't labeled myself as, I try to think of it as a challenge instead of an improbability. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705612 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:19:45 +0000 spaniellove 705612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: That must be so exciting to know that the injections and meds are almost behind you! As @raintreebee asked, are the E2 and follicles still in a reasonable ratio? I think your E2 is supposed to be around 200 for every mature follicle. </p> <p>@raintreebee: Is your RE making you downreg and then doing the transfer or talking about transferring in a couple weeks? How do you feel about the plan?</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: I feel a little better after getting my second beta and knowing the doubling time is good, but am still struggling with the thought patterns I've developed as an infertile. Like putting up a mental wall when it comes to anything related to babies or pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705390 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:15:09 +0000 raintreebee 705390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you everyone for thinking of me. It's been a rough few days, but I am feeling better. Our doctor called and said we shouldn't think of the cycle being over since we only transferred one, and we still have two beautiful embryos to whom we need to give a chance. So now the plan is to go straight into a FET cycle this month (where they transfer the frozen embryo). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705148 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:48:12 +0000 Mrs. Polish 705148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: I'm so sorry to hear this. Thinking of you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705144 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:47:26 +0000 Mrs. Polish 705144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: I've never been at this point, but I wanted to say that I'm thinking about you, and good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-705140 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:45:29 +0000 raintreebee 705140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: Excited that your ER is on Friday. My E2s didn't dipped but at one point they didn't rise as much as we'd hoped. My doc upped the meds a little, and then the E2s started to rise significantly. What is your E2 compared to # of follicles? I think the E2 can rise a lot in a short amount of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-704693 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:41:22 +0000 PastaAndPotato 704693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hey ladies, just wanted to check-in. today is day 11 of stims, and it looks like i'll probably be triggering tonight w/ ER on friday! the only concern that they have is that my E2s dipped a little yesterday, so we're making sure today that they go back up. did anyone else have this happen? my doc said that its not a "terrible" thing, that things are still looking "good" just not "ideal." so, fingers crossed that this all works out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-704662 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:34:30 +0000 MK0180 704662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Good luck with the testing and it sounds like you are on a solid plan :) LOL at dildo cams.... so true so true </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-704530 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:59:26 +0000 Mrs.Someone 704530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Thanks! Thats a good term too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-704459 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:42:18 +0000 twodoghouse 704459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Good luck with the testing. Sounds like you have a great plan of action. Love the term dildo cam! We call it the "robotic camera penis" in our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-704437 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:37:34 +0000 Mrs.Someone 704437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Suzimo: @ineebee: @Shutterbug: Thanks ladies! The ND got a laugh out of "dildo cam" too! We agreed that its probably best she didn't use the term with patients though :)</p> <p>@spaniellove: I agree, but I'm going to wait until all the tests are in and see what turns up. Of course if its a blocked tube or something, it may not be necessary. How are you feeling today btw? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-703763 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:03:43 +0000 Shutterbug 703763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: exciting! I just did all that testing this past cycle. And I called it a "dildo cam" to DH too and he was dying laughing. He thought I invented the term, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-703664 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:26:58 +0000 spaniellove 703664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Sounds like a good idea to consider seeing the RE just in case...you're not obligated to do anything with them, but at least you can find out what they think and get another opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-703572 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:45:41 +0000 ineebee 703572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. someone: That is the best term! It reminds me of how intimidated my husband was when he first saw it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-703499 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 17:57:34 +0000 Suzimo 703499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. someone: I have never heard of it referred to as a "dildo cam" LOL. It sounds like you have a solid plan. I always hate how long all of this stuff takes. I really want to see an RE next month and am now trying to make sure I make the appointment at the right time so I don't have to wait another cycle. Hang in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-703294 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:15:10 +0000 Mrs.Someone 703294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had a "what's next" appointment with my ND. She ordered a pelvic ultrasound, HSG, SA, and is re-doing the cd3 and 7dpo labwork. She also suggested consulting with an RE to see what they would suggest (even if I didn't want to do anything yet). So it will take a month or so for all the stuff to get done, then (if not pregnant) we'll figure out a treatment plan. At that point I'll decide whether or not to make an appointment with an RE. I like that the ND is very proactive with testing to figure out whats going on. </p> <p>Time to make my appointment with the dildo cam, yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-699044 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:53:56 +0000 PastaAndPotato 699044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: i'm so sorry - thinking of you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-698974 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:32:46 +0000 ineebee 698974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: I'm so so sad to hear this.

There is not much to say that will make it better but just worry about you for a few days, treat yourself to something special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-698772 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 10:21:25 +0000 Caly 698772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: I am so incredibly sorry. I know nothing I could say can ease your sadness...you're in my thoughts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-698508 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:10:36 +0000 twodoghouse 698508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: Sending you lots of love today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-698493 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:07:24 +0000 Suzimo 698493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: also sending you (((hugs))). Hang in there and I agree that you should do something really nice for your self maybe some shopping or a mani pedi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-698486 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:06:13 +0000 MK0180 698486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: I'm so sorry about your results. Big hugs to you xo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-44/page/3#post-698484 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:05:11 +0000 spaniellove 698484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: Oh hon I am so sorry to hear this. I was really hoping the outcome would be different. This is such a tough time for you right now and you have every right to feel the things you're feeling. It might seem like you've tried everything so how could there ever be hope again? One day you'll be able to see the future again, but right now all that matters is you. Sending huge huge hugs. </p>
