I'd be more worried about nad's safety than yours.

yeah, I might put a hurtin' on him

'the' hammer? sounds like she's been known to use it before...

ooooh, did someone say 'update pics'?

Irons77 · 04-16-2008, 03:07 PM

Hey are you slacking in here? Hope all is well

Fitgirl70 · 04-16-2008, 03:53 PM

Hey peeps. Yep, the hammer is comin out! I know how to whip it out and use it and yes, I've been known to use it before!

The more I use it, the more it gets used.

All is well in Fitty's life. So, here's the update: We'll be doing the retrieval on Monday and then the transfer on Saturday. Hopefully we'll have baby(ies) soon.

Yes, diet and everything is still on track, just trying to mostly eat healthy for now and then see what happens in a couple of weeks.

Pics? No updated pics just yet....maybe soon! Just depends on how fat I get. No one wants to see the growing belly unless thuurs a reason for the growth.

b_reed23 · 04-16-2008, 11:26 PM

What does your diet look like Fitty?? I increased my carbs to make up for the tiredness I've been feeling, and I don't feel that much different, except my weight has stayed the same, and I feel "softer" it kind sucks....

Fitgirl70 · 04-17-2008, 03:26 PM

I'm trying to eat a LOT of fruits and veggies.

It sort of looks like this:
M1: one or more cups of coffee, either fiber one cereal or a health nut english muffin w/ peanut butter and a banana.
M2: I try to have another piece of fruit here, but depending on how busy I am, sometimes it doesn't happen. Sometimes I have another health nut english muffin w/ some Omega Balance spread on it.
M3: try to have a protein and veggies here, sometimes just a turkey sandwich
M4: Depends here, sometimes a string cheese and an apple, sometimes a small bag of baked chips, sometimes just fruit. Yesterday's snack was a Muscle Milk protein bar.
M5: whatever I happen to cook for dinner. It usually consists of a large salad and then my protein and veggies.
M6: I have been as of late, trying to have more fruit at night instead of the cookies or brownies or whatever other crap is in the house.

Speaking of being soft and gaining weight. I have gained 6 pounds through this cycle. I am so bloated from all of the meds right now. I can't wait until Monday when we have the retrieval so I can feel a little better for a bit.

Working out today -- for the first time this week. The meds make me so tired.

What carbs have you increased? Good carbs?

b_reed23 · 04-17-2008, 11:48 PM

yeah, good carbs, sometimes bad ones work there way in though....

nadirmg · 04-18-2008, 12:51 PM

damn those meds!

omega spread? is that smart balance butter? it's gooood stuff!

Fitgirl70 · 04-22-2008, 10:25 AM

Hi all! Well, the retrieval went wonderfully yesterday. Back at work today and I'll find out today how many eggies we got. They were, on Friday when I had my sonogram, thinking that we would get about 7 or 8...that would be great as long as we could get some nice mature eggies there.

Our transfer will be this Saturday.

Please keep us in your prayers. This could very possibly be our last chance.
We go forward from here.

Thanks everyone for asking and keeping us in your thoughts. We really appreciate it. It is wonderful to have friends like you all.
Tam

Good luck fitty!! I have my fingers & toes crossed for you!

Irons77 · 04-22-2008, 11:27 AM

Wish you the best of luck, Fitty

Fitgirl70 · 04-23-2008, 01:46 PM

just checkin' in....all is well here.

I think I may actually get in some cardio this afternoon...

..I know...

.don't die

b_reed23 · 04-23-2008, 11:34 PM

You are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers Fitty!!!!! Remember...this is not the end of the road, possibley the beginning of another...there are always other options if this one doesn't pan out! Here's hoping for mature Eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fitgirl70 · 04-24-2008, 07:47 AM

Thanks Jellybean! You're so wonderful.

This very well may be our last chance though. We will no adopt. Although I think if you can and you want to go through with it, by all means, do. Adoption is not for us. It's just not something we want to venture in to.

If this IVF is not successful, we will probably stop. It's really hard on your body, it takes a lot of time and we're not getting any younger. At this point as it is, we'll be almost 60 putting the child through college. Now, that's not to say we didn't think about that when we started - we did....we just want this to be successful. We know whatever is in God's plan for us, will be.

Sorry, I'm rambling!

Love you all, hope all is well with everyone.

b_reed23 · 04-28-2008, 11:31 PM

so....how was the transfer??????????????????????????

Fitgirl70 · 04-29-2008, 08:34 AM

The transfer went perfect. We put back 3 and we did assisted hatching on one of them. The assisted hatching helps the embryo break out of it's shell and implant into the uterus.

We're hopeful and I'm actually feeling really good except for sore boobs and an ever expanding waist line. I think most of the bloating right now is because of the progesterone that I'm still on.

We have our blood test on the 6th to determine whether or not I'm pregnant.

We are thankful for technology, thankful for medicine and thankful for the genius that is my doctor.

We'll see what happens now. I'm being cautiously optimistic.
