Ok Vlad you are craking me up :P I probably shouldn't tell you this but the 1st time my DH and I went to our clinic they had a success album like people who sent in thank you letters and pics of the kids and there was a VERY large number of quads my DH had a panic attack the 1st thing he asked the doc was why so many quads! Doc says some women have other infertility issues so we will put in more eggs, but told DH not to worry they would only put 2 in me.

Oh my god you have got to stop I am laughing so damn hard I think I am going to laugh my embies loose! :lol: :lol: I am sure it is fine but a girl I work with took a pregnancy test after about 2 weeks she was natual and hers cam back + she is having twins! Just seems weird unless you have quite a bit of Hcg for it to come back positive so soon! :twisted: :twisted: So I think you have turned me into an addict I took another HPT again today still a definate positive one of my marks on both kinds of test were faint so I had 1 strong and 1 faint but it was + . Again the gal in my office her tests (yes she did multiple) did the same thimg at first but she tested again about three days later and it was a stong mark for both so that might be something to watch as we progress. I WILL not test again! ok maybe just one more since I do have an extra but I think I am going to wait until Thursday.

Hi Ladies!!!

Well, I have been a "lurker' to this thread since it started. My story... TTC for 12 years. First through IVF this month (technically second but 10 years ago we knew the embies were not transfer quality).

Had my transfer Monday, August 13th 5dpo (blastos - 2 grade A). I have been CRAZY this week with my emotions. I have been cranky, irritable, sad, depressed (thinking "how could it happen for me after all this time?!?!), anxious, excited... Whoa!!! What a circus BUT at least I have been keeping it mostly to myself :?

My symptoms...

Day of transfer (5dpo or dt): mild cramping-stayed on my back ALL day
6dpo or 1dpt: mild cramping for half the day - went to the pool then the grocery late afternoon (did NOT swim)
7dpo or 2dpt: nothing (thought it was over)
8dpo or 3dpt: still nothing but slightly sore bbs (but they came and went even BEFORE transfer) Dr. called and told me how much ET and PIO to take today and Monday and said "come in WEDNESDAY for your BETA" I said "WEDNESDAY?? My paper says THURSDAY!!!" I thought oh, no one day earlier, even THEY don't think it took!!! (crazy stuff you think in this)
9dpo or 4dpt: STILL nothing but slight sore bbs and a pinch "down there" every now and again
10dpo or 5dpt: (Sat) Thought it was over so I vacuumed in the AM and WHOA!!!! Cramping, cramping, crampinig... thought I ruined it all...
11dpo or 6dpt: (Sun) STILL cramping, cramping, cramping... no blood - stayed on the couch the WHOLE weekend. DARN!!! Thought it was over.
12dpo or 7dpt: NOTHING and I couldn't take it anymore!!! I went to CVS and did it - I bought an early detection test. BFP!!!

OK, I know about the HPTs but I couldn't take it anymore. I still have AF type cramping on and off today but NOW I have white CM (TMI???) coming out. No spotting at all and I thought THAT was a bad sign but maybe not afterall...

SO - I go in officially on Wed the 22nd and at least I have an HPT under my belt (doing the second test in the morning... I know, I know but I still have one in the box and it can't just sit there CAN IT!!??) :wink:

Through all of this I have to give glory to God because not only have I been praying for this for 12 years - so have all my friends (DH couldn't care less if we never had another but he's exicted now - nervous too - about twins!!! :twisted:

So sticky vibes and baby dust to you all in the waiting game... love to you all!!!

So I am a little disappointed right now I got to looking at the calander and I realized that I had counted my 12 days wrong and should be testing on Friday instead of Saturday so I call the clinic and they say no you need to test on Sunday 14dpt because you did a 3dt not a 5dt so I should have just kept my mouth shut because now I just added another day on to my sentence

Hey is anyone else swollen up like they are 4 months preg, I sure am literally some people in my office buliding asked me if I was pregnant today! and I am quite uncomfortable I also feel like my left ovary is swollen I am even walking funny because of all of this?

Hi Aliann,
I was very very swollen during my fresh cycle, FET is much easier for me, so i hope your swelling will go down.

I am new to this site, but reading everyone's posts has been helpful. I had my transfer 2 days ago; I have been having cramps on and off since then, but last night I had SEVERE cramping. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Hi Ellenm:

Well, I had so much cramping that I thought it was all over. Let's see... I had a 5dt (blastos - 2 grade A) on. of course, CD 5, and I cramped from late that day and for two more days. These cramps were like period cramps - not too, too bad. Then on day 4 after the transfer (Fri - my transefer was Mon 8/13) I had nothing. I thought, ok good, my uterus calmed down. But Sat, Sun and Tues were all different stories. I had such bad cramps that I had to lay down ALL weekend and on Tues I think I brought them back on by cooking a brunch for my SIL and her kids and my son that after they left at 2 I stayed on the couch ALL day. My lower back hurt so bad I so badly wanted to take tylenol or SOMETHING to knock me out!!! But of course I didn't but THEN at 4:30 I wiped and there was pink blood and I freaked!!! When it happened a second time I called the RE (it was 45 min after hours so they paged her). She called me and when I told her my symptoms - the bad cramping, back ache and spotting - she IMMEDIATELY came back with "That's normal" like why are you bothering me with THAT? Oiy, well I went in for my beta the next morning (yesterday) and it was positive. Exactly 4 weeks post LMP and my hcg was 485!!!

So you see... I think the cramping is implantation. Just take it easy and don't run, jog or lift things over 10 pounds and in the meantime we'll be here during you dreaded 2ww...

Sticky baby vibes and blessings and prayers,

Cocoa

Cocoa, congratulations! I hope I did not forget to say that...as I was pasting the message bd link I thought "Wait, is Cocoa pregnant? Is she having twins?"

Duh. I have NO MEMORY these days...

So yes, the multiple/twins board on the list at the bottom of this link...

Lots of good What to Buy for Twins.
Sweet thing is this: From what I've read, many moms put the kiddies in the same crib after birth...I read a doc say it's ok until the kids can roll over (on top of one another!)...but apparently there are "screens" to separate the kids, or special pillows to keep them in place.
Oh, Joy! (Or Oy, Joy!)

Anybody feel like they were going to start their period every day for 3 days, then found out they were pregnant?

I've got three more days until the test so I would like to hear if anyone has experienced the above.

Thanks,
Locked
