Nictor - woo hoo....bfp it is! I'm so glad that '4th time' was a charm for you! All my congratulations to you and DH and enjoy that smile from ear-to-ear as long as you can!

To all the stimming ladies (sassy, cheeky, mia) - - sounds like good news all the way around and there's going to be lots of strong embies soon in store for you all. 17 follies, Mia? If I recall, that was a lot more than your prior cycle, right? Good luck!

Serena Anne - ((((hugs)))) to you. It seems like you have a great perspective on life and I wish you and DH the best. Take care.

Angie - good luck staying relaxed over the 5 days...I wish I had some advice on just how to do that, but since I analyzed everything during the 2nd 1/2 of the 2ww, I'm no role model. I just wish you the best! I can't wait to find out.

I couldn't help but take another hpt - only could hold out 3 hours this time, though.....And, I didn't have any more of the type that gave me a strong positive the first time (called Fact Plus early result). All I had was a First Response Early Result, which gave me the faint line yesterday. Got another bfp today and while it was still light, it was slightly darker than yesterday. But, I was still uncertain.....until, I found this site called "twoweekwait.com". They have pictures of positive HPTs at various phases past ovulation, some showing the beta results....and from what I see it makes it look like I have a pretty average result for 10 dp3dt (13 dpo). Kinda a fun site if you want to obsess a bit over your hpt....(not like I've done that at all...errr).

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend....xoxoxo,

- suzhan

Wow, I cannot believe the number of BFP's on this thread since I last posted. wowowowowow.... I'm really happy for you guys.

For the BFN's, so sorry. The pain is almost unbearable but there is still hope don't give up.

I, too, feel like I'll have a BFN this cycle. I'm already feeling the dull AF aches that I normally get. I was really hoping it would work this time since $$$ is running low. We'll probably only do one more IVF cycle then call it quits unless they start offering free treatments (

I'm dreaming) And to be honest, I don't think I can put another month of hormones in my body. I feel like a bloated cow and my dh is going to admit me to a crazy house if we keep going...

Angie65 · Post by **Angie65** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 10:56 pm

Thanks for the wesbsite Suzhan. I think I'll be visiting it pretty soon ! I'm entering that 2nd week obsessive phase now!

Ladies, any ideas when I should do the HPT ?- it was a 2 day transfer and there's no HCG in system as it was a thaw cycle - was thinking Sat which will be 12dp2dt, but I can't wait that long!

Serena- Anne - thought your post was lovely - I am going to re-read it and I wish you all the best.

Serena Anne--I don't think it's weird at all that you bought the truck. It's the best thing you could have done. We do get caught in this weird "time freeze" think where it's all we focus on, so strangely enough I bet it is almost a relief that you don't have to worry about it....But.

I'm so sorry it was BFN. You've been a rock for me through this and I want you to know how much I appreaciate it! I'm wishing you the best of luck and check back now and again if it's not too painful!

hopeful-in-LV · Post by **hopeful-in-LV** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 1:22 am

Serena Anne,
I'm sorry about your BFN. I know it must have been a tough and tiring 5 years. Now you can breathe and spoil yourself and DH without worry. It's good to know you have such a good DH. You have each other and that's a blessing on it's own. I think fostering is a very generous and rewarding thing to do. I've thought about it myself. Adopting also has it's rewards. I hope that you and DH will be able to do that. Best of luck to you and DH.

Jovigal,
Keep up the PMA! It's normal to feel all kinds of things during the 2ww, including AF like symptoms. Good luck w/testing, wishing you a BBBFP! I can't wait to hear about it.

Cheeky,
Did you know Sassy and I are also doing a freeze this month and FET next year? Maybe we'll all be doing the 2ww together!

We are supposed to be doing FET in January. I was thinking of waiting an extra month or 2. I was down about my last BFN and not feeling ready, but getting over it now. So my heart is swaying towards doing FET asap.

Sassy,
Your Mon. appt is very early. Mine is at 9:45. Funny your neice named you sassy. When I was 16 I used to babysit my cousin (2 at the time). He could not say Maria (real name), so he always called me Mia. My other cousins started calling me that too and when DH and MIL heard it they liked it. So DH and most of my inlaws call me Mia too.
Can you imagine if I went up to everyone in the waiting room asking if they are sassy. LOL! I can see it now, they run up to Dr. S asking him "are you sure you should let this girl reproduce?!".

Suzhan,
we have a lot more this time. my last cycle I had 13 follies. From those we got 11 eggs, from those 9 embies. I still have 6 more antrals, I think that's why I'm stimming a little longer, to try to get a few more follies and grow the current ones big and juicy of course.

I can't wait to hear you official BFP news tomorrow, suzhan!
You too nictor and cindy! I know we have a bunch more BFPs coming!

Good luck to everyone testing monday, tuesday and wednesday!! That's like most of our 2ww list all in the next few days, how exciting!

Rochelle · Post by **Rochelle** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 4:31 am

I want to wish everyone good luck tomorrow. I actually looked at my calendar wrong and am not testing until the 5th. One more day to wait!!!! I didn't take a hpt yet. I so want to take it, but I didn't want to get my hopes up. Well, I still feel very bloated and my boobs hurt and still feel some mild fluttering in my lower abdomen. And AF didn't come. It was supposed to come today. Can you still get AF even though you are on Progesterone and also on an Estrogen patch? I don't know. I guess I can hold off not taking the hpt. I only have 2 more days to go. The wait is killing me.

Did anyone of you guys wait 5 days to do the transfer, or did most of you do 3 days? Just curious. For some reason, I waited 5 days.
Good luck everyone, and congratulations all the bfp's!!!!

Serena Anne-- So sorry to hear about the news. I wish you and your husband all the best in the coming years. Good luck!

cinders101 · Post by **cinders101** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 1:17 pm

Suzhan: Good luck today!! I hope your numbers are strong!! It's 5:15 and I no longer sleep!! Ever since I started this process, I get up to pee a few hundered times a night, and most often I can't get back to sleep. Hopefully these sleepless nights are getting me ready for motherhood!! I'll post as soon as I hear.

Rochelle: You are so strong for not testing at home!! I couldn't take it anymore. I wish you the best of luck tommorrow!! I did a day 3 too. Day 5 is supposed to be good because your embryos are more developed and has a higher success rate. Good luck to you!!

Casy P · Post by **Casy P** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 1:41 pm

Well Guys! It's a BFP for me! Looks like today is a good day for testing! Clinic only does a hpt, but it was definately a positive. Can't believe how lucky I am, I cannot imagine how some of you girls survive thro this again and again. You trully are great women and I Thank You for all being here for me.
Will check in again later. xx

Congratulations Casey P on your BFP!!!!!!, I wish you the best following 9 months!!!!!

suzhan · Post by **suzhan** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 2:29 pm

Way to go Casy! Enjoy the happiness and get ready for the next 8-1/2 months!

Cindy - I was up at 2:30 and 5:45, so I know what you mean! I'm up about 2-3x/night to wee, I was 4-5x/night just a couple of days ago. I agree - it's training for the 'real deal'. Mia (I think?) suggested trying warm milk with cinnamon. I'm not a huge milk fan but I tried it for the past two nights and I really liked it. Best yet, within 20 minutes, I was back asleep. Our clinic won't call your results until about 3 pm or even later if they're busy - ugh! Good luck to you too! Here's to a very strong beta!

Jovi - hang in there! I understand completely the 'ups and downs' and by no means was a role model, but try to maintain the pma.

Noodle - I too have heard of having sex prior to ET - - we had to this time (actually right after ER, a couple of days before ET) because RE thought I may have already ovulated some of my egg's. Not the most pleasant thing in the world since being sore from ER. But heck , the things we do to get preggo, right? Your DH will appreciate it later because you'll be 'on restriction' for quite a while after!

Rochelle - I did a 3dt and ditto Cinders' comments on difference between day 3 and day 5. I did my first hpt at 8dpt3dt and it was negative, then positive at 9dp3dt. It's a personal choice to do so or not, but a lot of peeps say "Don't Do It!" because of the emotional downer of getting a negative when we test too early. All your symptoms seem like positive signs to me....hang in there - you're almost there and will know tomorrow!

Mia - I thought your follicle count sounded a lot higher than August - congrat's! Your next scan must be soon - keep us posted on ER day! And thanks so much for the good wishes for today - I feel really positive, but I know the hpt is absolutely not definitive and I need the doubling beta. I pray I haven't gotten my hopes up too much and the beta looks good today!

Angie - enjoy the website! There's also 'peeonastick.com' - hee hee...Silly little fact on that website - you can actually use an opk to test for hcg - apparently lh and hcg are almost the same and an opk will pick up the hcg instead of the lh. Kinda strange, huh? That page will give you the most sensitive hpt's so if you're going to test early, make sure you get a really sensitive one. In terms of when, I'd say 12dp2dt would be a more certain time...any earlier and you risk a false negative. I didn't get my positive hpt until 9dp3dt, which would be equivalent to 10dp2dt for you.

OOOOOO....ladies, we just had an earthquake - small one, but shaked our house! I'm off to check out how big & where.

Good luck everyone, xoxoxoxox

Casy P, congratulations on your BFP!
We need BFP list to grow!!!

I had bw on Thu and my level was 2016. I did my last bw test today and hopefully they will tell me when my 1st scan is going to be. I can't wait!
