Barbara, thanks for the info with the ultrasound. My office told me they may not be able to see anything with the first ultrasound (and I was surprised by that because I thought I remembered that they saw the sac when I was pregnant with my son). I didn't document everything with that pregnancy thou...

Lyd, I'm sorry you are in that dreaded 2 ww period; it is so hard and gets harder and harder with more experience. Are you traveling anywhere for the holidays? I ended up traveling during my 2 ww this time and it helped (although of course it was always on my mind!). Post as much as you need to; thi...

Hi guys. Quick update on my 2nd beta: it was 466! It didn't quite double from 260, but it was definitely over the 1.5 times mark, so I think they were happy with that. My ultrasound is scheduled for Friday, 12/23. I am so excited. I'm sure this week will feel pretty long, but hopefully the wait will...

Hi Lyd! I'm glad you are on bedrest today and taking it easy. I'm sure it's hard to hear everything going on downstairs, but it's great to have had some drugs to help you relax :D I am a working mom and I always have mixed feelings about it; mostly because I never have enough time to get anything do...

Hi ladies! Lyd, great embryos! That is so awesome and it sounds like your chances will be so great for at least one to take! Now, it's the hard waiting period. At least you will start POAS so you will see everything change as you go. Please keep us posted! Kerpupples, sorry to hear you are feeling b...

I'm totally stocking our thread today! LYD, thanks for the information on your ET. Since you are on Pacific time, it sounds like we may not get your full update until later. We are definitely thinking about you though! Barbara, great news on your Ultrasound! I'm so happy for you and now you can stop...

LYD, I hope you ET goes super well today and you are able to take it easy! How did all your embryos look? Your fertilization rate sounded great. You'll have to keep us posted on how you feel the next 2 weeks. The waiting is so hard! Michele, how are you doing? I've been thinking of you tons... Neffi...

My first Beta is in and is 260!!! Next Beta will be on Friday. So happy today

Michele, my heart breaks for you and your DH. I am so sorry to hear your news. I wish there was something we could do to help you get through this difficult time. I'm glad you are staying home the rest of the week; I can only imagine how emotional the next few days will be for you. I am so glad you ...

Michele, wow, I'm so sorry to hear your DH is in such pain. I can't imagine being awake during a procedure when you are not supposed to be! I hope you are able to pamper him a little bit and that you two will have any additional help that you may need over the next few days. I hope the drugs are abl...

Hi ladies! So much news over the last few days. Lyd , great ER numbers! Sounds awesome for your DH's sperm count too; woo hoo! Let us know how many fertilize when you get your call. It's so hard waiting for that call... Michele , I'm so sorry to hear how your day went today! I am so bummed for your ...

Hello again! Barbara, I'm sorry for the spotting you are seeing, but if it's brown, maybe it's just old blood from when you were spotting before? They said everything was fine when you went in before, right? I know what you mean about Friday being so far away. When you have your next milestone to wa...

Super quick post here because I am still out of town and traveling today, BUT, I POAS x3 now and have seen a faint line each time!!!! I am so excited and of course nervous too:) I will keep taking tests morning and night until my beta on Wednesday. I'll write personals later, but quickly reading up ...

Hey gals! Sounds like everybody is doing pretty well at the point in your cycle you are. Keep us posted with your monitoring appointments and how you are feeling now that you are getting into the stims. Barbara, I can totally appreciate how afraid of going to the bathroom you are. It's so hard not t...

Hi Barbara. I'm so sorry to hear about the spotting, but I bet it's pretty normal. There have been so many posts about spotting being normal. Of course, it's always a good idea to call your doctor's office and hear it from them :D I had spotting with my pregnancy at about 6 weeks or so (it was the d...
