[pep23]

Hi girls!! First of all thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your sweet messages and congratulations!! It means so much to have you guys to share the good news with!! I feel like I've been bad about personals the past week as my head was completely off somewhere else during the 2ww so I am going to attempt to catch up on all the action but my you all have been busy!!!

Anna and Yarnista- Waiting on pins and needles to hear your news!!!! Best of luck to both of you today!!

Nimble- So glad that EC is over but I know it feels like the minute you are over one hurdle, there is another one right afterwards. Keep up the PMA sweetie!! Almost there!! I'm praying you get a great fert report tomorrow to put your mind at ease before the ET. I hope that everything goes smoothly for you from here on out!!

Mrs B- So now you are on another 2ww waiting for your scan!!! The waiting game really never ends! That will be so exciting though. I bet you can't wait!

Kandice- I really wish you all the best today at Beta #4. It definitely doesn't hurt anything to stay optimistic!! Will be thinking of you today…

Shantala- So good to see you on here doing well and positive as ever! You go girl!! And it was not me on myspace. I unfortunately deleted my account before I found this forum. Now I wish I would have saved it!! Going to Egypt sounds amazing! What a wonderful trip to look forward to!

Nerms- Thanks so much for your message sweetie!!!! I hope that in 11 more days we will be celebrating your BFP!! How is the 2ww treating you? How are you feeling? And about your 3 day vs 5 day transfer, I did a 3 day and ended up with a BFP…I'm sure you will too!!!

Quita- Welcome!! I bet you are anxiously awaiting Saturday!! Best of luck to you!

Natalie- Good luck at EC today!! Hopefully you can come home and rest up afterwards. Can't wait to hear your update…

Rae- Thanks for jumping up and down but be careful how much jumping your doing with that little one on board!

Nicki- Thanks for the fireworks!!!! The pen is soooo easy for the injections. I loved it. Well…love may be a bit strong!! But if I had a choice I would prefer using that instead of needles like I used for downregging. Good luck!!!! Glad you and DH had a lovely weekend. You deserve it!

Stephanie- I hope that our same names means the same results…BFP!! Only a week away from EC, are you getting excited?!? And I did the same thing leading up until EC…rubbing my tummy and talking to the eggies!! At ET they gave us a picture of our 2 embies we put back and we kept it by our bedside and DH and I would say good nite to them! Us ivf girls are loony aren't we??

Anie- I had headaches when I was stimming too but they didn't last long so hopefully yours will go away soon. Are you using the Follistim pen? My RE told me I didn't need to refrigerate once I had loaded the pen. So that way it was never cold going in. I know that stuff can sting!!! You may want to check if you can just keep it in your medicine cabinet?

Vicky- How's it feel to be back on the Lupron? Funny how injections really do become second nature to us huh??

Holly- 11 eggies is fantastic!! Hope you are resting today! Can't wait to hear your update tomorrow!

Sonya- Four shots a day!! Wow you really are a pin cushion! It will be worth it though right?? Only two more days until EC!!!!

Sorry if I missed anyone as I'm sure I did. This group has gotten so big!!! But I do hope everyone is doing well!!

XO
Steph

[smattison]

Quita-Good Luck with you 2WW!

Shantala-Mine is www.myspace.com/smattison829

Mama, Sha-Good luck today and let us know when you can on how many you have???

Kandice-What else is there if we don’t have hope??? You just might be surprised and boy what a great surprise it would be…GOOD LUCK!!!!

AuntyPebbles-On your myspace are those pictures you have drawn??? Wow they are great!!!

Steph-I am very excited and anxious …boy are we ever looney!!! I think that is a understatement.

Nimble-Positive is good and they are all going to survive!!!

Hope everyone else is doing great and lots of PMA!!

Well I just got back from the Dr. I had BW and U/S. The nurse only measured 6 on each side (total 12) and they were at 9+mm-12mm. She seemed really happy with this. I do not know my estrogen level yet she will call me today by 4p and let me know and change my meds if necessary. I feel so fat, I tried on 3 pair of pants this morning and none of them fit. I only have about 3 pair that I can wear right now and that sucks with 7 days in a week…LOL Today is a better day than I have had I a while. I feel tired but positive!

Baby Dust Everyone!!!

[nicolamark]

Yes, smattison!!! you stay positive babe!!!!

[nicolamark]

Can u tell ive had time off work???
Been posting more!!!
and feel less tired too, I think juggling work with IVF is knackering!!! x x

x x

[smattison]

Does anyone know what a good estrogen level is. My doc just called and said it was 524 and that it was good?? I am on Day 6 of stimming.

[nicolamark]

No sorry babe!! I cant help you on that one!! x xx

[nimble]

Steph, sorry hun can't help you on that one, my clinic didn't tell me nought!!

Nicky you sound so much more up beat in the last few days, obviously the rest has worked wonders, just think in 8mnths time, you will be off permantely

I think that we should have IVF leave bit like paternity or adoption leave when we go through cycles how cool would that be and we would be so less stressed.

Still no news on Anna or Yarnista?? I'm like a yoyo between tv and pc!!

nims x

[sokru8]

Hey Ladies!!!

I had a great u/s today 11follies at 20mm and I will trigger tonight I think. Waiting for confirmation from the nurse!
I am working on updating our list and I will do personals after that!

XOXO
Sonya

Steph, has it sunk it yet...? Cloud nine is pretty cool, huh? I'm trying hard not to jiggle baby too much being so excited for all the good news....
