Nerms, I feel the same way about my embbies. I had a strange feeling yesterday once they told me how many fertilized. Like, oh, those are my little babies. My friend said, OMG, you could have 7 kids :shock: I don't know about that. 2 is good for me. It's a strange feeling, knowing that our children are in a little petri dish right now. I try not to think about that stuff too much, but every once in a while it all hits me. I'm so thankful that we have the oppurtunity to do this. It's all truly amazing.

Keddie, good luck today. I can't wait to find out. I have a good feeling you'll be our first BFP!!!

Been laying low the past couple days, trying to keep my mind off of the whole process. These days of bed rest and house rest (arrest) have been a nice break but considering the circumstances not very relaxing. We test on Sunday 9/30 - fingers crossed. :-)

I wish there were some signs of something/anything happening in there. Just a couple of random abdomen pain twinges but not much else. DH swears that my chest is getting bigger. I think he's dreaming!

Going back to work tomorrow, that'll help keep me and my mind busy.

Getting used to the progesterone shots, they don't hurt as much and now that I'm not taking the baby aspirin there's less bruising. yay! Icing before and after seems to be working for me.

I also had constipation and bloating following the ER but it went away after a couple of days. I certainly felt like i had done a serious ab workout the 3 and 4 day after but then all of sudden i felt normal again. weird.

Donna/Christie/Nerms -- congrats on all the embies. loads of luck & dust to you all!!!!

Glad to hear everything is A-OK with your US ... Keep us posted when you can :D

Hi Christie,
Glad to hear that your feeling better and better each day .... and no, it's NOT weird, I feel that way about my Follies :o ... I find myself rubbing my tummy all the time lately :D ... Oh, and the HCG shot wasn't so bad .... I had my son's friend's Mother do it for me (she's the school nurse) ... my hubby was nervous about doing that 1 :lol:

Well tomorrow will also be a busy day around here for many of us ... Wishing everyone all the best

DH did the progesterone shot on me last night. It actually didn't hurt anymore than the other shots and it's not that sore yet. The hcg shot starting getting sore within 10 min. and was sore for a couple days. I'm not so nervous about the progesterone shots now. I just make sure he grabs a huge chunk of skin. I really think having some extra padding back there helps :D

Good luck again Kelly. I can't wait to hear some good news!!!

I'm waiting for my call today to see what time I go in tomorrow for the ET. I want to see if they have an update on my little embbies!!! I hope they all make it until tomorrow.

Girls, You make me want to start crying again, I'm so thankful for all your well wishes!!! :D

They just called me about an hour and a half ago saying I'm pregnant! I couldn't believe it! I couldn't even answer the poor girl I just started balling. I still can't believe it! I was totally prepared for bad news.

I just want you know how helpful you all have been to me. Now I'll be watching and praying for all of you, keep that positive attitude as best you can... :D I wasn't too good at that part I would go back and fourth. You all are gonna be wonderful mommas, going thru all this is enough proof for me!

I'll check back in soon!, I'm at work and not getting a darned thing done but I've read all your recent stats and I'm thinking of all of you too!


Love, Kelly

Hey Christie! Yes, I'm not getting anything done, I just can't think!

I am so dumb for not taking the day off and now I"m stuck here at work because the other lady I work with called off even though she knew I was getting my news today, grrr..

Anyway , they said my number was 177.... what does this mean, I'm such a dork I don't know what any of this stuff means!

Hi Everyone,

A Huge Congrat's Kelly


Good Luck Christie

Good Luck on the retrieval Love

Good Luck Kim sounds like we'll be on the same schedule.

Update: I went for my u/s today, had a small cyst on L ovary but OK to start meds. I begin Gonal F and Menopure on 9/29 second u/s on 10/1. Finally feels like things are starting to happen. Hopefully, I can get through all these shots anyone else have problems with bruising from the shots?

Baby Dust to all!!

Hi Tilly,

Glad to hear that your able to begin your meds soon
Hopefully, I can get through all these shots anyone else have problems with bruising from the shots?
Yup, that's me .... I'm just 1 big bruise :( .... I noticed that only when they "hurt going in" was when I would get a bruise ... I'm guessing it has to do with technique (my hubby did my daily shots for me)... I'm the biggest wuss there is so, you'll get through it just fine :wink: ... just remember, take it one day at a time :D
