December-January Cycle Buddy's Our New beginnings

[SilvaCharm]

Hi, ladies.

I'm cramping really, really bad right now. What's this all about???

[hopeful-in-LV]

ok.. I'm back ... they're teasing me. RE called back to say he wants to look at them again at 12:30 and will let me know if today or tomorrow will be better. He said we have 5 good blasts. Which is what we had last cyle from 11 eggs, go figure. I'm happy with that because we should have enough for at least 1 more FET. Anyway, I'm in limbo for now.

Silva... are you taking progesterone shots? suppositories? My Dr. told me my cramping after my ET was from those meds. Apparently progesterone puts your body in a pre-menstrual state with menstrual symptoms. I know.. cruel joke when one is waiting to take a pregnancy test. I had cramps with my last ET and I was BFP, so hopefully no need to worry.

Keep us posted.

hugs,
Ange

Silva,
I am a week until my test and i have been getting cramps/ dull aches for the last couple of days. I too have been really worried and have been on the internet virtually all day and, unfortunately for some, it means a BFP and others, a BFN...not much help really is it??

It really is driving me mad and every little niggle i am worrying. R ur cramps/pains constant or are they on and off...mine are?!

Ems...i really wouldn't worry if i were u - ur embies r best in the best place and they r now where they should naturally be so they'll b snuggling in nicely...just relax and try not to worry (easier said than done)

LOL Vickie x x x

[hopeful-in-LV]

Ange... I sent you a PM.

Shantala... yes the dog video. I guess I'm just embarassed cause I'm not used to watching myself on film.

Erin... 5 is great, much better than 1. I know you'll get plenty of strong healthy embies out of it.

oooo mia, can't wait to hear what the clinic says... good luck!

sorry to be a tease... We are good to go for Fr at 8:30. Good, now I can do a few tasks today.

Sassy did I miss something? I thought your RE was going to call you this AM? maybe I'm wrong. anyway I'm still hopeful for you.

[SilvaCharm]

Hi, Ange...I guess that makes me feel a little better. I have been taking the shots and the suppositories.

It just made me really nervouse b/c today is the first time I've had any really bad cramps...I mean to the point where I was doubled-over in pain. It was lighter cramping this morning, then it was really intense around lunch for about 2 hours. Don't have my heating pad with me @ work , so I drunk a cup of hot tea and now I'm feeling much better.

Vickie, I've had a little twinge here and there, but nothing really bothersome until today. This is driving me mad, too. I hate this not knowing what the heck is going on! Is enough to drive a girl totally insane.

Thanks, ladies for getting back to me. I'm not as frazzled as I was b4

[AuntyPebbles]

Silva im pleased your feeling better i know the cramping can be really worrying like some of the other lady's have said it's very common to get cramping if your pregnant so i hope for you this is a very good sign, i know it's hard to keep positive

My clinic always give me a heated saline bag to use after EC but with strict instructions not to use it after ET...did anyone mention to you not to use heated pad after ET?..

anyway i hope this is the last of your cramping...

love Aunty

[sassynlv]

Mia: little rollercoaster today, no? ah, see below, but maybe we will in the end be recovery room buddies

sc: sorry, nothing to add to the 2ww conversation, never had any cramping (maybe a good sign as i had a bfn ). Good luck!

well ladies, i am officially in "limbo hell".

RE called me @ noon (nice guy... knew i would be dying, so called me early instead of tonight). one out of the 8 did grow some overnight. For those familiar w/blasts... it started compacting, but didn't fully compact. So, at least it is something... still not promising, though. RE says his fingers are crossed. But here is the tortuous part... they are scheduling me for a "tenative" transfer for tomorrow. I will get there, lying on the table, and then they will look at the embryo and see if it has expanded. If not, i will just go home (me and my ugly cry), and if so, then they will transfer it. Would MUCH rather get bad news at home, then in the middle of the clinic. WAAAAAA, why can't it just be easy for once??? Just for once? Freak! with all the complications i have had... just once??

dh won't be able to come.. he moved a trial around my ET expected for today, so absolutely cannot change his schedule for tomorrow . Haven't decided if i want someone w/me or would rather be alone if bad news. I'll tell you, if by some miracle this slow embryo actually is chromosomally nl, and produces a baby... i am going to ring it's little neck for putting his momma through this!

thanks again for all the support, what would i do w/o you?

[AuntyPebbles]

Sassy oh boy you really are going through it arnt you, your right why does it have to be this hard its so unfair you have been so aptient and been through so much already you really deserve soemthing great to happen.
Did your Dr say they are still watching the others just incase ?....

i am thinking of you and will be sitting here all day tomorrow waiting to hear your good news i wish i could come with you...will be with you in spirit

QUOTE" I'll tell you, if by some miracle this slow embryo actually is chromosomally nl, and produces a baby... i am going to ring it's little neck for putting his momma through this! " LMAO you so have a right too....

love Aunty

Sorry it took so long. Well...Beta was 257! That is at 9 days after FET. I am so excited because last time I was pregnant it was only 42, so I feel this is a good number. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and good wishes. I am sending buckets and buckets of sticky baby dust to all of you.
