Wannababy --- I started having nausea yesterday, I am not throwing up yet, but it is not very pleasant. When is your next Beta and your first ultrasound?

Mia ---- how are you doing with the stims? Is everything going well?

I am going to visit my friend today, we used to work together, she has a 2 year old daughter and almost 1 year old twin boys. I won't tell her yet, it will be very hard to keep the secret though. I am waiting till Christmas.

Sam ---- when is exactly your gender determination ultrasound? I cannot wait to hear the results!

Love Lola

Lola, how exciting! I'm so happy for you! And they both have strong heartbeats too. That is very good news.

Stimming is going pretty good. I feel a little icky today and have been feeling stuff happening in my ovaries. I get to start Gannirelix today.. Yay.... er.

those suckers sting! I do an US/and BT tomorrow, so I'll finally get to see how the follies are doing. It's so strange, I'm glad I'm not doing an ET this month. I am almost afraid to do another ET. I'm afraid of getting disapointed again. I know it's silly. I've got to keep up the PMA.

Lola--TWINS!!!! OMG! What a blessing! Congratulations! Do you still have your cyst? If so, does it hurt? Are you still doing PIO injections? I had an acupuncture appt today and my acupuncturist is preparing me for nausea as I have acid reflux. She said it's all related. How are you handling the nausea?

Hopeful-I'm glad to hear that your stimming is going well. I will do the follie dance for you!

Suzhan- Pulling is a good thing. I have/had a similar sensation around and below my navel. Sounds good........ Keep yourself busy and as always, keep us posted! Work was an excellent distraction for me too.

I had my bw today. My new numbers are 589 13dp3dt. My next appt is next Wednesday 12/6 for bw and ultrasound. I guess I should be able to hear a heartbeat then, huh?

I'm preparing for 2 more BFP (Suzhan and Bobo)!

Lola,

That is wonderful news. I am so happy for the two of you. Two will be harder to keep a secret as you may show earlier. I was so tired the whole three months that I actually thought something was wrong with me. I even posted the questions, I literally could barely move. Just to let you know what is in store for you : ) Remember to take care of you and your pregnant so now everyone gets to cater to you. It is quite fun.

Can't wait for the rest to join us. You are all well on your way and it looks like Nov/Dec is a great fertile month!

Hello girls!

Wannababy --- Your numbers look very strong! I think you may be having multiples as well!!!!

I don't know about my beta on 13dp3dt, but the day before (12dp3dt) it was 443. And that's from 3 babies (I will find out about the third one next week). I don't know if the cyst is still there. I have and never had any pain from it. I am actually on progesteron suppositories, I am so happy I don't have to do the shots anymore. The suppositories are kinda messy, but I wear thin pads and it does not really bother me. The nausea comes and goes and it is not too bad, at least not yet. I feel it like 3 times a day for an hour. I don't really enjoy eating, but I force myself to eat. Oh, I also read that we need to eat a lot of protein, especially when expecting twins. I cannot wait for your first ultrasound, it is so exciting!

Sam --- Thank you for your wishes and your advice. So when is your ultrasound? It must be so exciting to find out the gender!

Mia --- Good luck with your US/BT today, I wish you lots of nice quality follies!

Suzhan --- I feel that pulling sometimes too, even now. I also feel it at night, when I turn and twist. It is a good sign!

This will be so great, we will all have babies around the same time! I hope and pray this one will be BFP, you are so nice and caring and you finally deserve it after all! I am going to be at my mother in law's this weekend until Tuesday, so I won't be able to cheer you up the day before your test (we have to buy her a new computer for Christmas), but I will be thinking of you a lot! We are going there for the weekend and my clinic is closer from there, so I will just stay till Tuesday until my next U/S.

Emily --- I believe it will happen for you too! Just pray and it will happen. January feels like a nice fresh month to start. Just get a lot of rest during the Holidays!

Bobo --- keep us posted on how are things going! Would you like me to add your details to our progress chart? Let me know, it would be nice to have another BFP on there soon!

Girls, have a nice Thursday and try not to stress out about the Holidays and everything around it. I still have not done much Christmas shopping, but I try to relax and take everything step by step. I try to concentrate on my babies and I pray that they will make it through the first trimester. I have 5 more weeks to go...
May all your dreams come true!!!!

Lola

Lola- are you saying that you may be having trips? I didn't understand what you meant? At what point did they take you off of PIO? I have a feeling that I am having twins. DH thinks its a singleton! I'm not nauseous, but I'm not a fan of food lately. I feel like I am force feeding myself.

hopeful-in-LV · Post by **hopeful-in-LV** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 1:38 am

Hi everyone, My 1st US and follie count went well today. I feel optimistic about my follies now. I have 15 good size follies plus a few more antrals that could still grow. My follies are all closer in size this time, between 10 and 12 mm. Larger than at the same stage with mt 1st stim cycle. At my 1st scan w/my 1st cycel they we're between 7 and 11 mm.

wannababy, that would be so crazy if you had multiples too. Good crazy, I mean.

At this rate, in a few years, the REs are going to probably do only single transfers.

Lola · Post by **Lola** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 3:43 am

Wannababy ---- I am actually still carrying 3 babies. All three of the embies took. We saw 3 sacks with three babies in it. The only reason why I say TWINS is that the third one still does not have a heartbeat and is very very tiny. The other two are good size and have strong heartbeats. They told me that the third one won't probably make it and it will either get absorbed by the uterus or I will miscarry him. So they think it is only going to be twins, but there is a small chance that the little one will still get a heartbeat too. So I will see more at my next ultrasound on Tuesday!
What is the PIO, I hear it all the time, you mean the progesteron suppositories? I am still on them until the end of the first trimester. I am off the estrogen now.
The nausea started when I was 6 weeks and 1 day. I did not feel it before then. So you may get it soon. It comes and goes, but when it comes, I have to force myself to eat too. At least I am not vomiting (yet...

).
I thought it was a singleton and my hubby though it is twins. He always wanted twins and he won the bet.

Mia --- that is so great that your follies look good! Way to go! I was reading a lot of protein makes good quality eggs, so I was eating a lot of protein during my stims, lots of milk, fish, eggs, etc. I don't know if it helped, but it definitely did not hurt. Maybe you should try it!

Have a nice evening girls, Lolita

lola,
I posted yesterday but not sure what happened to it but here is a bit advice. I had a hard time eating protien as it turned my stomach but new it was important. I ended up using protien powder in fruit shakes which helped a lot!! I was also switched to the supposotories three times a day. They make you extremely tired, nasause, amd dizzy. They are high dosages. Be careful driving and don't freek out if youare tired beyond what is expected. Once they reduced them, I started feeling better. It is still a nice break from the injections.

heys guys it,s dec 1, 2006 my time is 7:30 am leaving for my pgt hope to have good news when i come back bye bye

golfrswife · Post by **golfrswife** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 2:03 pm

Lola - How are you feeling? I'll be anxious to hear how your appt goes on Tuesday. I am really looking forward to starting again. With all this good news going around. I hope it will be my time too!

Bobo- You are in my thoughts today. Good luck girl!

Suzhan - How are you doing? Just a few more days til you test! How exciting! I can't wait to hear the great news! Good luck to you!!!

Lola · Post by **Lola** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 5:28 pm

Bobo ---- good luck with your test and keep us posted! We are waiting for the good news!!!!!!!!!!

Sam --- thanks for your advice, I will switch to the shakes if I won't be able to handle it. Yesterday night we went for ice skating with my hubby and the fresh air really helps my nausea. It still comes and goes, but it comes more often now.

Emily ---- I really hope the next one will be your lucky one too! You deserve it!

I am feeling more nauseated now, but I can still eat, which is important. On Tuesday I will find out about the third heartbeat. They told me that there is 10% chance it will still catch up with the other two, but he is very tiny and I will probably lose him. I guess my side effects are still ok considering I am probably still carrying three!

Girls, I am leaving tomorrow morning to stay at our MIL house till Tuesday. So if you don't hear from me, I will write again on Tuesday.

Sorry in advance for the 'downer' post, but I took the evil hpt today and got a bfn. My first beta is tomorrow, but they don't give me the result until the second on Monday. Also, all my 'symptoms' have vanished. So, while I know there's still a small chance, I'm mentally preparing myself for this. I'm not sure how I'm going to take it, so if I don't post for a while, please understand.

Thanks as always, ladies, for your support during this process. I wish everyone the best of luck.

- Suzhan

Suzhan,
I am so sorry, I know how this must feel. This is so unfair. You don't deserve this torture at all. Please hang in there. Don't give up the hope yet. You just never know. Please, keep in touch, we are here for you!
Lola

First IVF in August,
