First of all we have talked so long I just though it would be nice if I told you my name... It is Courtney. Of course you absolutly do not have to tell me yours if you want to keep it private! But I figured what could it hurt.
Anyhow, I am happy with my Projes. level. My boobs don't hurt at all. Only the first few days before and after transfer. I am a little low today. I just feel so like myself I can't imagine it worked?? I mean I know people don't have any feelings yet, but it is SO hard to wait. If it does not work do you know how long they make you wait to do another cycle? I know it would be at least 1 month, and then with the IVF another two. So at least three months to be back here. It is just so hard to think about. I would do it, but I just want so much for this to work. And it scares me that my embryos where only two cell at the time of transfer. Even though they told me they where only two cell because they checked on them so early the morning of transfer and they where the best they could have been at that point, it still worries me. I am trying to be positive, but you know how hard that is... I wish I where in your shoes right now, you have been truely blessed, and I know you deserve it after everthing you have been through.
Anyway on the bright side it has already been a week and a day since the ER and time goes pretty fast. I just hope my numbers are REALLY high next Thursday and they can maybe tell if it is ok and not a false positive. I wonder how high of a HCG level the ovidrill can give you? I have no clue but will have to check if my first test is Positive. Ok, I am rambling on... Well have a good weekend. I will check back with you next week. I think my DH and I are going to go out to dinner some where at Easton tonight to get my mind of things.
Hi Courtney...my name is Liz. It is funny to talk with someone soooo much and not know their first name!
I know exactly how you feel. I wish I had words of wisdom, but I don't. You saw how high my numbers were....I still don't feel different. I have an occasional cramp, my boobs are sore off and on, and I am thirsty...that is it. Nothing that screams "I am Pregnant!" I would actually welcome something to make me feel different. I'll probably take that back in a few weeks, but right now I need some reassurance.
How was Easton? I love to go out there on nice nights...eat a little...shop a little. It is great!
Hang in there. Time does go quickly. Next Thursday will be here before you know it. I know you won't know for sure then, but at least you will have some idea. I think your prog. number is sooooo great. that has to be a good sign!
I am thinking of you.
I will let you know what happens after my scan on Monday. I can't wait. I am just soooo terrified that something will go wrong. I am a nervous wreck.
Thanks for the advice. I was just talking to my DH tonight saying I felt totally normal. So it is very good to know you feel the same!
I can't wait to hear about Monday. I wonder what they will be able to see??? With the numbers you have I bet everything will be great. Maybe both took?? You are young and the blasts where really good! That would be great!
Well we ended up going to dinner at Rusty Bucket here in New Albany where I live last night for dinner. It was nice, then came home and watched a movie together. Took our minds off things!
Hi Courtney...I just got back...we have two!!! He didn't expect to see much, but we actually saw one heartbeat. I am a nervous wreck about the one that we didn't see the heartbeat. Dr. G said to stop worrying, so I will try.
How are you doing! I know it is stressful...believe me, I am still crazy. Thursday will be here before you know it and you will hopefully have some idea of what to expect. I am praying for you!!!!
I love the Rusty Bucket...we go to the one in Worthington Hills all the time!
WOW, TWO!!!! That is SOO exciting. How is your DH doing? I know he was nervous about it.
I think it is early for the heartbeat. I have seen a lot of post that the second one starts later. Don't worry yet. Did you cry when you heard it? I just told my DH... He knows all about you!! When is your next scan?
I am not doing great today. I know I need to be positive, but I keep thinking the worst for some reason. What if?? You know how it is.
Keep me posted! You start school next week, are you ready?
Hey I have a question.. Do you think my chances are not as good cause mine where transfered on day 2? I am afaird cause they where only 2 cell and grade 2 not 1. You transfered blast grade 1... I just think that seems better.
I thought the exact same thing. When we were told we were doing a three day transfer I was really upset. I heas heard so many success stories with 5 . I posted the question on here and a bunch of people responded that they had early transfers and were pg. Dr. Kennard also reassured me that ORM has the same success rate...they just put one less embryo back with day 5. I know it is impossible not to think the worst...believe me...I fight with myself everyday and my DH is going crazy with my negative thoughts, but you have to be positive. Right now you have three embies in you looking for a home. The chances that at least one of them will stay are very high.
You are emotional because your progesterone is sooooo high. You just can't help it!
My next scan is Tuesday, I will be 6 weeks, 6 days soooo hopefully we will see the other heartbeat then. Now that I have seen two...I really want them both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My DH is okay, I think he was less suprised than I was.
Keep me posted...I am hear if you want to chat. I know these last couple days are the hardest.
How are you doing today after the big news? I thought about it and read back at your posts. Remember one was ready to attach and he did not say anything about the other. Maybe it is just a little behind.... I have been thinking a lot about you and praying that everything works out for both babies!
Are you ready for next week? You start back at school/work on Wednesday right? What grade do you teach? That must be fun working with kids. Well I guess I am assuming the are kids. You might teach at OSU or something!!
Well I have definitally hit a low today. I try and be positive and then I get the feeling that will never work and I will never be pregnant. It sucks to feel that way. But I just can't help it. I am getting my hair done tonight (color) so that will pre-occupy some of my time which is good. I am in your boat now. Or your OLD boat. I just keep thinking what if it did not work. Do you know how long ORM makes you wait to try again? I have never asked and don't want to. But bare min. it would be 3 months to get back to where I am today. Plus all the meds, scans, blood work and the ER and ET all again. Seems crazy. I guess I can't think that way, but I can't help it. Crazy right?
Anwyway, I hope you DH is adjusting to the news. You know twins will be hard I am sure, but SO worth it.
Talk soon. Only 1 more full day. I have to say I am tempted to take the HPT in the am before the test. I know my first might be a false +, but I spoke to someone else on this that used the booster and her first HCG was only 48, and they said it would be lower if it was just the shot. But they did a second test and it went way up... SO I am hoping for something over 50!
I am NOT ready to go back to school. I am just starting to get really tired and I can't imagine being on my feet all day after having such a lazy summer. I teach 7th grade. They are great in the beginning of the year, but by May...I am ready to send them on. Good thing I won't be there in May this year! What do you do?
I know how you feel. The night before my test I was convinced it didn't work. Surprise, surprise! THe waiting is impossible, but it seems that is all we do. We wait to have tests so we can start, then we wait to start BCPs then we wait to get AF, then we wait until the follies are ready, then we wait for ER, then ET, then the 2 WW , then wait for you first scan, then the second....It is never ending! I am praying and sending lots of sticky vibes your way. PMA, PMA!
Hang in there....At least you get to have your hair done tonight....that is one of my favorite things to do!
Well today I and last night I have off and on AF pains. Very Very slight. And I am not sure, but I might have had a spot of blood this am. Just is in the TP... No where else. I am not sure. I will have to check later. I know with my projestrone being so high and taking my last booster on Sunday I would not get AF until about 9 days after that booster if I am not preg.
I know no words can help right now, but I feel like it just did not work... I feel like I will never be preg. It sucks.
7th grade. WOW those kids would be hard sometimes I bet! I work for a Bank in Client Relations. I bacisly handle customer events for Nationwide and Schottenstein. Any evens there I will handle tickets/arrangements for client development. It is fine, but I want to be a stay at home mom. I always have. I can't wait for the day to quit! My DH tells me I can leave when ever, but what would I do???? So I am staying until something happens.
Well take care. I will let you know what happens tomorrow.
I got got back from my Blood Draw... I can hardly wait. Anyany I never did end up spotting. Not sure what that was, but I am good. I have very mild PMS like cramps... Nothing major and went I relax they go away. So I am feeling better today. I was think this am, it is like a coin toss, 50% either way. It is strange...
