That's great Jen. Whey do you have to wait til the 19th when I only have to wait til the 14th? Surely it's only a 10 day wait from blast??

Mandeeq, good luck for tomorrow.

Hello girls,

Again, a quick post, and I might miss personals, and for that I'm really sorry.

Jul1e: as you can see, you were already in the 2ww since yesterday; I added the info you requested. Congratulations on getting your two blasts home!

mommytobe: congratulations on getting your sweethearts home! And yeah, I posted twice on this thread on the studies about bedrest. The girls summarized it well; won't make a difference and can cause you to make blood clots in the legs and even impair implantation.

Tanya: SO THRILLED that your u/s showed us your two little beanies in top shape! Yaaaay! Did you see a heartbeat at this point? I know you were hoping for that... And about finding the sex, well... DH and I decided that we didn't want to know. At the end of the whole pregnancy, after being monitored and all, there are very few surprises left. And having that last surprise, that wonderful excitement when the baby comes out adds to the thrill. So we definitely don't want to know in advance. Had NO intention to paint the nursery pink or blue anyway! LOL And little pyjamas are quite unisex anyway...

Shantala: glad to have news! I'll reply to your pm as soon as I can. Doing the AF jig for you big time! You must be pretty impatient to begin your cycle sweetie! Hope the July-June thread is treating you well, or they're gonna hear me!

gbnut: so sorry that you're having cramps sweetie... but as many girls mentioned here, it's perfectly normal. Your body is going through some pretty major changes here, and it's making another human being! Surely that's bound to make you feel a few twinges here and there!

mandeeq: still thinking of you real hard! Can't wait to hear the results! You've been very brave, and you've had the longest 2ww on the thread so far! Hang in there girl! You're almost there! I'm very proud of you sweetie!

jen: awwwwwwww! a GORGEOUS lining! That's gotta make you proud! LOL That was soooo cute! Congratulations on getting your two frosties back home safe and sound! Glad you're planning to take some fun time with your sis! That sounds nice!

babysoft: it's your first IVF cycle and as a veteran (sadly! ), I can tell you that the first thing you have to learn is to NEVER build up your expectations too precisely in terms of key dates or key numbers. You'll end up extra stressed and extra disappointed. Just look at my case... sure I got 21 follies retrieved. I ended up with 9 embies, though. Jul1e was super disappointed when she got 7 follies retrieved compared to her 16 last time. She also got 7 embies and then she was ecstatic! You must let go, it's the most important thing. It will limit the damages of the roller coaster ride big time. Worrying and wishing for this date or that number won't change the outcome, but it will sure make your life more miserable.

ltaylor: I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. *hugs* You have all my sympathy, and your bf too.

literatriz: Let me get it out of the way.. PMApsy and Sophie are one person! ME! *evil laugh* And about the hormones, I almost wish they keep misbehaving, because it's a strong sign that I'm pregnant.

Okay, sorry if I've missed anyone... and about me, well, I had a normal night last night, and it was truly a blessing! I felt more rested in the morning! Still peeing somewhat often and my tummy still hurts from occasional cramps in the ovaries, the uterus, the cervix, and so on. But the nerves are not too too specific for pain in that area, so it might be all misleading. I'm almost disappointed, in a way, that the OHSS symptoms are decreasing a little bit. Hehehe but it doesn't mean I'm not pregnant, though.

About the dark areolas, I think my question was no clear. I already know that pregnant woman have that, so no need to tell me you have that now if you're pregnant! I just wanted to know if some of you guys had that during your 2ww while taking progesterone but not knowing if you were pregnant. I've not seen dark areolas as a side effect of progesterone, so that's why I'm curious, especially that I didn't have that side effect last time; this is totally new. And maybe a good sign.

Okay, gotta run!

Take care ladies!

Sophie

[jenn]

OOOPS! I double posted.

Sophie- mine were dark but only a couple of days. Now they aren't. My symptoms come and go! Cramps most days, but they didn't start until Tuesday of last week. I cramped after ER and ET, but these are different cramps since Tuesday. B@@bs sore one day, not the next, tired one day, not the next. I really think since we are on the progesterone, that is what happens, and I try not to think about them too much! Good luck to you. Glad you are feeling better!

WOO HOO

[arizonakiwi]

Thank you for all your kind words and support, I'm busy with work today but will catch up with you all tomorrow.

Love Angela

[PMApsy]

hello jenn!

CONGRATULATIONS on your official BFP! WOOHOO!!!! Sorry for the delay; we posted at the same time! That number looks fab, geez, I sense a twin alert comiiiiiiing! (notice how your beta is similar to Tanya's!!!) oooooh this is exciting! When is your first scan?

And please... repeat that "my symptoms come and go and it's normal" statement as often as you can! Some preggos around here will be reassured! And I hope that includes me next week!

And well, as for the mysterious darkened and enlarged areolas... turns out it's progesterone that causes it, too (and not HCG or another pregnancy hormone as I hoped). So it turns out that I was right to be cautiously excited about this, lol! Could just be the pessaries. Ah, just 9 more days to wait!

Angela... so sorry you had to stay at work. What a horrible day it must have been! I really feel for you darling... *HUGS*

Take care sweeties,

Sophie

[mommytobe]

[jen779]

Hey Girls! just a quick post...I have to get back to my sweet husband!

Jenn...Congrats on your official BFP!!! I agree with Sophie, looks like possible TWINS!!! Hope your feeling great!

Julie...I don't know why they are making me wait so long, so I will probably test with an HPT around the same time you are testing. How are you feeling...anything different yet?

Sophie..I think that is great that you and your husband are going to wait til the birth to know the sex. I am WAY TOO IMPATIENT to wait. I commend you for that!

Sorry for anyone I missed! Talk more later.

Hi Ladies

Blimey, there are a lot of goods news on this thread….no, sorry, fantastic news!!! Keep up the good work girls!!

Tans – forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS!! (sorry I know it’s a bit late!) I read your post the other day and my heart made a little flip. So so pleased for you.

Julie – well done on getting your embies back!! And good luck with the 2ww!

Jen – congrats on getting your 2 blasts home! Wow, top quality. Sounds like you’ve got the next 2 weeks planned. Good on you!!

Jenn – congratulations honey on your BFP!!!! Woohoooooo!!!!! Your numbers sounds awesome! How many days post transfer were you when you got your beta??

Sophie – hey hun!! How are you holding up?? Thanks for doing the AF jig for me….I need it!!! I’m actually on the awaiting tmt thread at the moment (not the june/july thread) but think I might have to go and join the june/july thread. Hhmm, I’ll see. I do feel very at home here and at the awaiting tmt thread. Would be hard to keep up with 3 threads!! Lol! Thanks for looking out for me….i’ll tell them that I have sis sophie coming to beat them up if they don’t treat me nicely! Hehe…

Well as for me, still waiting on AF. Did an HPT this morning, which was obviously negative but just wanted to rule that out. Come on AF I need you!!!! Anybody, please feel free to do a jig for me!!!! She needs to show her face by the 16th June, otherwise my EC and ET will fall into my holiday ban at work, which will make things very stressful and very awkward for me!! Ggrrrr..

Hi to everyone else I have missed…thinking of you all!!
