Noodle: Congrats!!! 4 eggs is great!! Be sure and let us know when your ET is.
Suzhan: I know it was busy. We got there at 7AM and there were like 6 couples waiting in the parking lot. We luckily got in after only 10 mins or so. I too have been peeing several times a night. 4-5 times a week all last week. Now it is only 1-2. But, I did read that your urine should be held for 4 hours before testing. So, you could try not drinking anything for 4 hours and then go and see how that works. I took my HPT's at like 5AM because that was the 2nd time I got up and I wanted the first morning urine. I hope you get a BFP on monday!!!
NOV 06 IVF girls....
Cheekymonkey - I am so so so pleased for you...see that PMA payed off! I am so over the moon for you and have prayed every day see all will be fine and if ET is put off then that is because it is meant to be...everything genuinelly does happen for a reason! 2007 is the year for you! love to your DH and you and good luck for Tuesday.... 
And thanks for your kind words I am glad I could be of some assistance.

oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh.....9dpt3dt....and got + on a HPT today
I finally managed to 'hold out' for 4 hours (ouch!) and took the test on two different hpts - one was a faint line, the other was quite positive. I'm trying not to get overly excited, since I know this is not definitive and I have to see if I get two doubling betas between today and Monday, but this is a huge glimmer of hope finally!
Just had to let you guys know, since I was so down yesterday morning after the (-) test.
Thank you thank you thank you for all the pma!

Suzhan OMG! I knew you would get it. See all you needed was to wait a little bit longer. Yeah!!
noodle, congrats on your 4 embies! Good luck with ET!
Cheeky, That's good news. I'm happy for you. Stopping the dance now, exploding is not good.
You and I are close to the same size range now, except my lead follies are only a little over 15 mm. I had US #2 today. I have a few new follies in the 10mm range, so I have 17 follies now, yeah! And 6 more antrals that may grow to a usable size too because my RE wants to stim me a couple extra days. Looks like I might have ET on Thurs or Fri instead of wednesday.

Hey gals...
cheeky: fantastic news!! It appears all our dances kicked in at the same time! You must be sick of stimmin! I am SOOO happy for you.
Noodle: congrats on your 4 embies! What is this about having sex the night before ET. Am i missing something? I have never heard that before, can you fill me in???
Suzhan: Very good news!! especially as it was neg before. Everything crossed for you!
Serena: Testing today??? Thinking of you...
Mia: 17 follies??? that is fantastic! Hmmm, if they stim you a day or two longer, we just may be sharing the recovery room!!!
So BW yest showed that i got the cetrotide in time to prevent ovulation. Yeah!!! Didn't want to lose any of those beautiful follies! BUT, may need more BW than nl until retrieval. D5 E2 today was 2000, US showed a lead follie at 18mm (overachieving follie!), but most 11-15mm. I seem to have 12-13 growing w/another 10 antrals (guess i grew a few since baseline ). My #s are significantly better than in the past. Waiting to find out really when retrieval will be, maybe pushed up a day or two since i am moving faster on this protocol (thus, a shared recovery room w/Mia???)
so to the boat load of people testing on Mon...wishing you all the luck in the world!

Suzhan---My fingers are crossed!
Noodle---Please, please don't tell my husband that you got to have sex the night before the transfer! And can we get the number of your doctor (ha!)...Can't really remember the last time we were "allowed" to. How sad, huh? This is one crazy process

Sassy, BW everyday, awww, you poor thing. My veins would never go for that. They have actually tried to go on strike a couple of times. 18mm follie, wow, she's ready to go! Your other follies are around the same size as mine. You caught up w/me quick! Didn't I start like 2 days before you? 
I think the ganirellix slowed me down a bit. But I guess that's the idea, to prevent ohss? What is centrotide, is it like ganirellix, but differnent brand? They are going to have to order more Ganirellix for me if they stim me longer. I only have one more dose. I asked what size the follies have to be for ER and they said at least 16mm so I think we are both good. We shouldn't have any trouble getting there in the next few days. I bet we do ER on the same day. 
You'll have to tell me what you look like cause I'll be eyeballing everyone, they're going to think I'm creepy. 
I'm a 5'1" Filipina, shoulder lenght hair, 37, but I'm often told I look like 21 to 28 (I sure do feel my age lately though).
I've heard of some RE's suggesting sex before ET. It's supposed to make your body think it's concieving naturally. I've also heard some say not to have sex because anything that goes in there can change the Ph balance, which may or may not be bad for the embies. I guess you can do what ever makes you feel more positive. Or whatever your RE sugests.

Mia: Dr. D told me today he thinks i will ER on Fri. I think we US on the same days, only they have been scheduling me VERY early. My appts for Mon and Wed are both around 7am. If you are there that early... i am about 5'7", about 135lb (all right, about 140 now that i am gaining a lb a day!!! ), caucasian, long straight dark brown hair that i usually pull back off my face, 35yo but also told i look younger. If there are lots of girls, just stand in the middle of the waiting room and yell "sassy???". heeheehee. Or even better, just go around asking, "hey, are you sassy?"...you might get some interesting answers ! To make things easier, my real name is Catherine (my niece called me sassy since she couldn't say my name, and i remain "aunt sassy" to all my nieces and nephews).
The lupron seems to have really kicked my ovaries into high gear...i will be stimming 3 days less than on #1 IVF, so it seems i am catching up to you. Oh, as you guessed, cetrotide and ganirelix are just different brands.
Angie: Hang in there, i guess that is why that torture is called the "dreaded" 2ww! It sucks!

Sorry that I didn't post right after my test. It was a BFN 
I had expected it because I started spotting on Friday. We are not going to try IVF again. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband who is supportive and we are moving on. For the first time in five years, I won't have to count days hoping that AF won't come. No more pregnancy tests and no more drugs and needles. We are going to enjoy our lives. Actually, we bought a new truck yesterday. My husband had been looking for years and we kept putting it off because I kept thinking that I might get pregnant, drop to part-time or quit working and than we would be in trouble financially. Now, we don't have to worry about that, so what the hey!! I know that it was a weird day to buy it since we just found out the news, but it wasn't like we weren't considering this for a while.
I want to be a foster parent in the future. I will have to talk my husband in to it as he is not sure. We may or may not adopt in a few years. We will just enjoy the many children in our lives around us and be happy.
I wish you all the best of luck and hope that you will be able to have children of your own. If not, I pray for you all to have the strength "to climb those mountains" and move on. Lots of baby dust and prayers.

Vicky77 - My clinic have told me that if they collect more than 20 follicles then they freeze them all because of the high risk of OHSS, and from all of my scans they seem to think I will deffinatley get more than 20! I do not know for deffinate but it is looking very likely!! I hope I don't get it but if they at least finally get these follies out then I don't really mind!!
How are you doing? hope things are well with you!!
Sassynlv - Wow, how strange is it that you could be in at the same time as Mia!!! It is a very small world!!!! I hope that your EC is soon so that you too can get on your 2ww and get that BFP!!!
