Vlada--wishing you POSITIVE vibes for the 23rd. It will be here before you know it!!!! ;)

RMSM...hang in, only 4 more days...whew!
I test tomorrow and I am SO in denial.

MANS...uh, YES! I could not figure out why my hubby became so Less than Empathetic when we returned home from the clinic 1 week ago tomorrow...he was so, so kind during the 10 day waiting for it all to Happen! Now that we're home? It's like he forgot that I need to chill...he keeps pushing, pushing, pushing me to get things done here.
But Now I have the answer!
He's swiping my PIO and Vivelle patches & Estradiol & del estrogen
YES...that MUST BE IT
Thank you!

Bean...I miss Lupron injections. They were so easy compared to this #$%@ PIO.
Well, not "EASY" ... they still stung...but it was at least something I could do for myself...and not have to rely on Hubby.

ALL the best to all of you :lol:

Vlada, where do you live (country)? I think most clinics in the U.S. will only transfer 2 at one time...or at least the ones considered the 'top' ones...4 sounds like a heckuva lot of embies...do they still do that in Europe somewhere?

You are brave...putting in 2 tested my fear factor...4 would toss me over the edge!

I hope 1 (or 2) stick, or how ever many you want.

Hey, just think, the 4 embies could divide and all be twins, and you could have EIGHT :twisted:

KIDDING OF COURSE
Best of luck..

Hey Ladies,
I had my first blood test today just to test my HCG level. It was at a 3. The HCG injection was given on August 4, tomorrow will be exactly two weeks ago that I got the injection. The nurse called me this afternoon and said I was borderline and it could go either way. She said when I test on Monday 8/20 they are looking for my HCG to be at least a 6 however the best result would be a 10. I had a three day transfer on Aug. 9 and transferred 2 perfect 8 cell embryos. I'm freaking out about my HCG level is this is bad...does anyone have any info to offer on it. I'm just paranoid that it's a bad sign and she didn't want to tell me.

Woodcliff, you are freaking me out!!!! :shock: :D :shock: :D
I live in Seattle, WA, but my doc put in 4 embies because unfortunately my embies are not a very good quality, my fresh cycle was a BFN in april, so my doc is being agressive on the FET, sooooooo we will see....
Oh and they probably won't divide because we did ICSI, although you never know ha ha ha .
Well, all of my symptoms have disappeared today, my breasts don't hurt i have no cramps just the lowerback pain.

I wish you tons of baby dust on your test!!!! Keep us posted on the results, we are here for you!!!!!! :D
Vlada :D :D :D

VLADA! We just KNOW you're going to have 8!!! :twisted:
Sorry, could not resist!!!

Hey, every doc is different and frankly we almost asked for 3 to be put in, but I think we were just on a buzz high...and we got to day 5, the blasts were in beautiful shape, to the point of hatching, or actually hatching...
I'd have done 4 too if the doc had wanted me too, like yours, due to certain elements regarding the embryos. This is SO FReAKIN hit or miss.
We used Donor Eggs...I'm in my late 40s so NO WAY could they've used mine...paid a bundle for these eggs so thank god we chose the right gal!

OK: here's the deal. I had NO breast tenderness after, say Mon or Tues...I figured I'd overdone it with the grocery bags at my fresh market, and I was out in 95 degree heat walking, I drank 2 lattes every day(my doc said I had great blood flow in the womb, so I figured it was OK. Besides, me without coffee? I tried it for around 6 days then caved...I was NOT a Good Girl...but I never was, why start now? :wink:

I had cramping, and occassional feelings of sharp pains...in my right side...well, that does concern me...no great news yet until I get the ultrasound in 2 weeks to make sure these little suckers are placed properly...if it's an ectopic, I'll be singing a diff. tune after Labor Day...

I was eating lots of junk food...no good reason. My belly is really popped out but I think it's cuz of the junk food! :o NOT the positive HCG levels...

Thank you for your support and baby dust...

4 embies..WOW...WISHING YOU A GREAT WEEKEND!!!

8)

Thanks Vlada for your support! Well tonight I came home after dinner with my family and noticed I'm spotting brownish/pinkish. Now I am really freaking out and am certain it didn't work. I don't know if stress has anything to do with it working or not. My mother passed away 3 weeks ago from cancer during my IVF cycle. It was much quicker than we anticipated but I didn't want to stop my IVF since we were a week away from retrieval and transfer. Since we have male infertility I guess I thought our chances of having it work were pretty good. I must say it's been a terrible month for me. I'm dreading my last blood draw tomorrow because I know it will confirm what I already know.

Good luck to everyone else testing tomorrow!! I hope someone gets good news!

Jenni,
I am too very sorry for everything you are going through, but life always has ups and downs and at the end there is a meaning for everything. I really really hope you get your wish.

Jenni I am so sorry for your loss, as if things aren;t complicated enough for you right now. Try not worry the pinkish/brown spotting could be implantation bleeding. As hard as it is to be positive righht now you should I am sure you mom is on the other side pushing real hard for you. lots of love and prayers.

Jenni_K, i would kill to have that spotting you mention. That seems to always be a positive sign, so don't worry about it. I have yet to hear of anyone with it who isn't pregnant. I didn't have it and I'm waiting for my results today, but I don't think I'd be as nervous if I had. SO hang in there. Things may be turning up for you now. You've been though enough and deserve this so much!!

Hi all I too am in the 2ww and have been going out of my mind, I hpt on Sunday and it was negative so my mood has been moapy all day untill I read this thread. I have my 3dt on 8/10 and my beta is on the 25th but I called the Dr's office to see if I can move it up so I am now going on Weds and I'm scarred to death that this is not going to happen.
