Hello!
Yay! Can I join in?? We just got home from our first ultrasound, and there's two kicking around in there!! So so excited I can hardly think!! It's what we wanted, but I was afraid to hope that we'd so lucky... They're both about the same size; I don't remember how big she said they were. (I'm ...

Hi Jamato--
I am in the same boat: My first beta (10 days/3 day transfer) was 85, and the second was 293. I've been driving myself crazy trying to get any sort of confirmation that a jump like that could mean twins. I'm definitely thrilled to be where I'm at, but it's so tough not to let curiosity ...

I had a fairly mild/moderate case after my retrieval -- definitely not fun. They retrieved 19 eggs and I was worried I'd be cancelled, but everything turned out fine. (The whole uncomfortable deal actually turned into a BFP!)

Anyway, I was told to drink lots of Gatorade, which did help. Try not to ...

Sorry for not responding sooner. I was kind in a funk and avoiding all things baby-related. Anyway, my test date was actually yesterday, and it was positive! I was quite surprised... (and thrilled, needless to say!) The first beta was 85, and the second was 293. Progesterone looked fairly good, so ...

Hello from Minnesota

Hello!

I have been lurking on this site for awhile, and feel silly that I haven't posted sooner! I feel like I know a lot of you
As much as I'd like to think the cycle worked this time, I really don't think it did. I'm already thinking about round #2. I'm not wanting to be negative; maybe I'm just ...

Tolbee--
I was also told to drink 3 - 4 liters of Gatorade a day -- no water -- after my retrieval and transfer. I had a mild case of OHSS, and it seemed to do the trick (although it sure is difficult choking down that much liquid when you're already so bloated that you can't fit into your pants ...
