Re: Summer Board 2011

UGH!! When does this craziness end?? Today at work, I had a gush of blood. Ran to the bathroom and was literally stuck on the toilet. Gushing blood and clots! I left work and went to my OB who checked my cervix and saw that it was closed and sent me for an u/s. The tech would not let me see what ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Hello Ladies!

I had my second u/s today and baby is measuring 7weeks 1 day (I am 6 weeks 6 days). I saw the heart flickering on the screen and it was so beautiful to see, but even better to hear. What an amazing sound! RE says everything looks great and he wants to see me once more in 10 days and ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Wow, it's been super quiet here. I've been around, stalking every few days to get updates on everyone. I went for my first ultrasound today and saw one perfectly round sac. I tell ya that the internet is both a blessing and a curse and I cannot believe how frightened I have become knowing all of the ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Hi ladies-

I've been MIA because I havent felt very positive and didnt want to share that negativity. Anyway, I went for my beta today at 11dp3dt and it was only 38.6. I was afraid of that. I either wanted a definite positive or definite negative (I soo need a glass of wine or two) not somewhere in ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Hi ladies-

ET went really smoothly yesterday. We transferred the only two embies I had, which were a 6 cell and 10 cell with 10% fragmentation. The RE who did the transfer told me that a few cells had multiple nuclei, which supposedly still gives us a solid chance of a pregnancy, but I'm not ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

I'm back online! Glad to hear that all of you Northeast ladies are safe and sound. We just had power restored about 2 hours ago! I got my fert report yesterday and out of the 4 eggs, 2 made it to fertilize and the RE said that he expects them to continue growing. I have been praying ever since that ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Hi All-

Egg retrieval went much better than expected! I am happy to say that they got 4 eggs! I know that normally 4 is not a great number, but considering the fact that 3 follies has been the number for the last week- 1 extra is fantastic! So now I sit and wait. The clinic is going to be closed ...
