Denise - Best of luck to you with the stims and follie test. Grow Grow Grow!! It's interesting to see how well the stims make them grow. Thanks for you support and prayers.

Susan - Praying for you for a positive BFP ! So sorry you have to wait until Monday for the results - our Fertility Clinic is open 7 days a week and give same day results for blood tests. Try to have some fun on the weekend to help keep you mind off of things

bigwhitehapydog - Congratulations on your ET as well. Get plenty of rest and lots of low key distraction activities and May 3rd will be here before you know it.

daly - Praying for you for a positive BFP! Thanks for the sticky vibes!

Vicky - Thanks for the support! Best wishes for your FET on the 26th!

Croella - So sorry about your news. I would suggest a second opinion. We are here if you need anything.

Amysharon - So sorry about this time. Best of luck to you in May.

Vlada - Hope you are hanging in there - won't be long now!

Karia - Good luck with the stims on the 26th.

JenJen - Good luck to you when things start. The Dr's are prettty good at designing the treatment protocol and they do monitor you closely and will make any necessary adjustments.

Donna - Hang in there! In 2005 I actually waited to do my first HPT 2 days before the blood test and had a positive that time - did one the day before and it got more positive and was then positive on the day of the blood test. I was actually pregnant with my first daughter Meagan! Best wishes for a BFP!

We are hanging in there. Trying to rest which is a little hard with a 16mo old wanting to be with me all of the time. But the weather is supposed to beautiful this weekend so hopefully we can do some low key things outdoors with DH. Take care everyone!

Love,
Christine

Hello Ladies. It is 5:30 in the morning. I need your advice.

I took two tests this morning,. I am 9 days p3dt.

The Clear blue easy digital said NOT PREGNANT

Then I took a first response early detention.

It shows the second line. It is really, I mean really faint but it is for sure there. I even woke up my son and asked him if he saw the second line. He said yea mom, but it is really light.

So is that A BFP for me?

I am so nervous and excited I feel like Puking!!!
Heeeeellllllppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

Hi Donna,

Exciting times! I had good luck with First Response tests for all four of my Pregnancies (although 3 ended in misc). Those tests are supposed to work as early as 5 days before your expected AF. I would suggest test once a day in the morning when your urine at wake up time is the least diluted so will have the best hormone level reading. When I tested the last time the line started out very faint and each day I tested the line got darker and darker. It's wonderful that the First Response has detected HCG already! That other test may not be as sensitive so early.
It may be too early - maybe try testing each day now and see if that line remains. You are getting so close and we are praying that your dream comes true! Bless you!

Love,
Christine

Donna lets hope that line gets darker.

Just a quick on efrom me to say blood done but will not get results to Monday. the blood clinc say that without the permission from Dr they cant give it and since he is on Holiday until Monday i just have to wait.

Thank you all for your support it means a lot to me.

Susan - Have a wonderful weekend and try to keep busy and have fun. I know the wait is hard - but weekends tend to go by fast anyways - so Monday will be here before you know it! Praying for you and a wonderful BFP!

Love,

Hi Everyone,

I have a question. I am on day 3 of stims and am having a bit of pain on the side with the ovarian cyst that the doctor said wouldn't pose a problem for me. I didn't have any ovarian pains last cycle until around day 7 of stims. Does this mean the cyst is growing? I go in on Monday for my first follie scan and am afraid that this is going to end my cycle. Advice?

[melly]

Well ladies today is the first day I've been up and around, our ET was to be on 04/17 however that was canceled due to OHSS. I had to freeze my little embries I had most of the fluid drained on 04/18, they removed 3 liters & I was told I only had a light case of OHSS. I was so uncomfortable I couldn't stand it. None of my clothes fit, does anyone know if or how long it usually takes for the swelling to go down? Well I hope all of you ladies are moving right along with your cycles and wish you nothing but the best, as for me I'm off to rest a little more...

Baby Dust To All!

Denise - I had a cyst on my right ovary before I started treatment and had to have it surgically removed before they would proceed with any treatment. I don't believe what you are feeling is the cyst growing - you sometimes can feel the stim meds working. Just think - they are making multiple follicles grow inside of your ovaries and you may just be feeling it more on the ovary with the cyst. I definitely felt it more and more as the days went by on the stims - I had 26 follicles the first time and 16 this time and I felt a lot of pressure in that area. But for peace of mind I'm sure you could call your Dr just to make sure. Wishing you many lovely eggies very soon! Take Care!

melly - So sorry you had to go through OHSS. I don't know much about the issue but I want to wish you a speedy recovery. Best wishes for the next try.

Love,
Christine

Hi girls,
Well this morning I did a home preg test and got a really faint BFP. 3 hours later I did another one and its much darker. I am 7 days since transfer, could this be a false positive? Has anyone had a false positive from the trigger shot?

[Vlada]

OMG, OMG I am freaking out, we just did the HCG shot (yes, it took two of us) and I am paranoyed that we did it wrong because it didn't hurt at all! Usually when I had my IUIs and the nurse was giving me the injection it would hurt and it didn't ! It took us forever to mix and put all the liquid in the seringe, may be it stopped working during that time? Or may be DH didn't do the shot right?
I just can't imagine after going through all this and not ovulating right or that my ER will go wrong because i won't ovulate because if the shot, ahhhhhhhhhhh
