Yogi - Welcome to the board!

Rittie - Congratulations!!! That is so awesome. I know that the idea of twins sounds scary but you'll be fine. You and your DH have about 8 months to prepare yourselves. You probably mentioned this in your earlier post but I don't remember if you did. If you don't mind my asking, how many embies were implanted?

Sam - Congratulations!!! I am so glad that you were able to hear the heartbeat. Did that make it more real for you? For your progesterone level to be so high, does that mean your body is naturally producing it as well?

Herbie - Congratulations on your eight follies! And if you end up having more, even better :) .

Lola and Alicia - I also know how you feel about having a new baby in the family. My brother and his wife just had their second baby and I love him to death. But a part of me was a little sad when I found out they were pregnant again because by then my DH and I had been trying for almost a year and we hadn't gotten anywhere yet. Then I felt guilty for not being completely happy for them - it was ridiculous. I wasn't begrudging them but I kept wondering why can't I get pregnant.

Mia and Champa - lots and lots of baby dust for you both.

Wannababy - I started with Lupron and it wasn't that bad. The needles are tiny and I gave the shot in my thigh. I don't think I am more emotional yet but maybe I should ask my DH, he might have something different to say :) .

Have a good evening.

Congrats Sam! That's wonderful news! A strong healthy baby, what a blessing! :D Your body must be adjusting already, sounds like your body may be set to handle the hormone part all on it's own pretty soon.

Sam/Rittie - CONGRATULATIONS! Image

Lola - Thanks for making me feel normal. If thats possible. Image

Wannababy - Well I hope we prove the Ghost wrong and we don't have to worry about the next time or a frozen ones. Image

Herbie - Wow 8 is great! Keep them coming. I'm surprized the nurse does the u/s. My RE did all mine himself. Good luck at your ER, who knows maybe there is a bunch more. Image

Myhb - Thanks for sharing your story, it really makes me feel not so alone and selfish. I know all about the guilt, because I really was happy for them, I just wanted to be that happy myself.

Mia/Champa - I'm wishing lots of baby dust your way. Image

Love Alicia

Friends I've a great news to share. God has listened to our prayers, I've a BFP :lol:

When the nurse called I couldn't believe my ears.. I think it happens with everybody.. She says my HCG level is good but I've a little lower Progestrone level, but nothing to worry about. They will monitor it. My next BT will be on monday.

Thanks for all ur prayers, good wishes and support.

I know its just a beginning. I am not even sure what will I do know ;)

My good wishes are always with all of you.

YAY!!! Champa, I knew it would happen for you! :D am so happy for you! It should be easier to relax a little now, huh?
I am still waiting in anticipation for my PG test tomorrow :shock: . I can't believe we are at this point. When did they stop your PIO shots? I stopped mine a few days ago. I guess my progesterone level was too high. I don't know if that's good or bad :?:
