Neffi - wow we are on the same exact schedule, I go in tomorrow as well for my mock transfer and since this is my second cycle, I can tell you that it is no big deal. I felt no pain or discomfort and went right to work after. It is important to go with a full baldder, it helps them see things better.

Let me know how it goes tomororw. Good luck. lets than a week to go!

Michelle: sorry, but i don't really know anything about progesterone numbers. i started progesterone shots the day after the retrieval and have been doing them since then, i am also taking prometrium suppositories until i test next week. do you have any symptoms, yet? i don't think i'll do a hpt, too scary ...

Keisha: congrats on your frosties, i am so excited for you. now i don't remember, did they transfer any last week? sorry, but my mind is somewhere else these days ...

Tali: good luck on your mock transfer tomorrow, but you know everything will be fine, and i am so excited for you to join us soon.

Mrs. G: much sticky baby dust to you. when do you test again?

to everyone else i have missed, i am so sorry, but i have to get back to work now.

Keisha Congrats on your frosties!!!!!

Pumma, thank you. Im waiting on some HPT's to be delivered and I may test the 24th in the AM to see if it will show up. Ive seen an increase in possible symptoms so I think it may have worked this time!! My Beta is scheduled for the 28th of Dec.

To all my girls in the 2 ww...hang in there, it's getting closer!

Angie, where are you girl? we miss you over here :(

FaithHopeLove---how did your ER go? we haven't heard from you in a while

Wunnam --how are you doing sweet heart?

LB-- I'm SO SO sorry about your little one. Don't loose hope, I've seen some amazing stories on this board. I'm praying for you. HUGS

Angel 505 --Did you have your ET? where are you?

HelloKitty (Keisha) --you made me laugh with your husband's car story :lol: I'm afraid I'll end up doing the same thing, I just have that feeling :oops:

As for me, I've been doing my Lupron shots, and everything seems to be going alright. One of my girlfriends is getting married next week and we had a little gathering at a restaurant to celebrate her a couple of days ago. Well, I had to do my shot in the restaurant's bathroom that day!! I was afraid somebody would walk in and think that I was a drug addict or something. It's kind of funny all of the things we go through with IVF. Tomorrow is my last day of bcp, yeah!

Hey Girls,

Pumma - we put back 3 embies. Hope they are all snuggled in! I understand about not remembering. We have a lot going on around here :P !

Mrs G - Thanks Mrs. G. Our testing dates are close, mine is 12/29...Can't believe it will be next Saturday! When I got my BFP last year, I did test 2 days early. The first one said positive and the second one negative. Test day, positive Beta. So, I know they can be tricky. But like I said I hate to be told that i can't do something, I'm a bad girl :P !


Tali - I'm LOVING the knitting. I am on a mission to make a big fluffy
pink scarf

Michele - How are you doing?

esperanza - My test date is 12/29. I love your story about the bathroom, we have to take those shots when we can :P

Baby dust to you all

Hey all,

I just wanted to say good morning to all before I head off to my last day of work before Christmas break. The kids are going to be crazy at school today, but atleast I will finally have some people to join me in all of my insanity.

This 2ww is driving me crazy. Even though I am super busy, whenever I have a free moment, that is all I am thinking about. On top of of it all, I am now coming down with a cold. I was trying really hard to avoid that, but sometimes it is just impossible when you work in a school.

Pumma- Definitely don't take a hpt is you can't handle a bfn. I have been taking them for the past 3 days and all bfn. I am ok with it though because I know they are not accurate right now. I guess I am usuing them more as my own little at home science experiment. Because I keep getting bfn's I know the trigger shot is out of my system, so no worries of a false positive. So, when I get a bfp, I know it will be a true one. I don't expect it to be accurate for atleast a couple more days, but I can still hope. And no symptoms, but the dr says that is completely normal and not to worry.

Esperanza- All done with finals? I finished last night. I had to email a paper, and when I clicked the send button, I felt so much relief. I am so happy this semester is over! Funny story about the shot! I often wonderered what someone might think if they walked in on my and my dh doing the shot. Luckily, I never had to worry about that.

Hellokitty- congrats on the frosties! I can imagine this entire process is much easier on the body if you have frozen embryos.

To everyone else, hang in there. The holidays are going to fly by and before you knnow it, it will be 2008! All of our January friends will become 2 wwers while the dec buddies will be bfp and lovin' it! Hopefully today is everyones last day of work before a long, merry, holiday weekend! Enjoy!

hello everyone,

i can't wait for monday to arrive, i so hope it will be a bfp. last time i had spotting for the last few days during my 2ww and then it was a bfn, and the time before i only spotted once and it was a bfp. this time i have had no spotting so far, but i am also taking more progestrone ... my butt is starting to hurt, but oh well ... other than that everything is okay. at least i will be at home on monday when they call, i have told my dh he will have to pick up the phone, i am too scared this time. it just almost makes me sick right now, to think about it. anyway, things are good, but again, it's so scary.

esperanza: thanks for updating the list. it helps me a lot to know what people are doing. hope your finals went well and yeah, i had to sneak one or two lupron shots in there as well at the most inconvenient times.

michele: i can't believe you have been doing a hpt every day; i would be way to scared. hope you'll only get a mild cold and i can't wait to hear your bfp.

keisha: good luck to you; i think it's great you have so many blasts left over. great job!!

Mrs. G: what increased symptoms do you have now? let us know, i am dying to hear.

much baby dust to the rest of you, i can't wait to hear all the bfp coming soon.

Looking for Schel!!!

Honey today is your test do and I am waiting to hear all about your BFP!!! Don't make us wait too long. It seems you are the first on this board to test.

Update on me. I am start my last three days of BC tomorrow which means my Lupron injections starts tomorrow ladies. Wish me luck. Also a quick question. I had what they call break through bleed while on BC which started last Friday 12/14. Today is 12/21 (7 days later) and I am still bleeding. The AF is showing no signs of stopping. I usually have AF for 5 days max with the last two days being very light. I feel like my system is all screwed up. My RE seems to think this is okay and told me to continue on. Anyone else out there have this happen and went on to get great embies. I feel that something is not going to be timed right. I go back to RE on 12/28 for US and B2 and should start stimming on 12/29 if all goes well.

Anyone else starting Lupron this weekend and possibly stimming starting next weekend. My tentative dates are ER on 9 Jan and ET on 12 or 14 Jan.

Wishing Happy Holidays and BFPs to all!!!!

IVF #1: POSITIVE - Michaela born 9/19/08
IVF #2: Consult on 10/13/09 - Start BCP Dec since clinic will be closed for the Holiday.

Hey everyone,
I took my beta test a day early yesterday cuz of a snow storm coming in and I'm afraid to drive in snow. I went in yesterday at 1130 am, and was called with the results about 4:30 pm. I was told I am really really pregnant!!!!! My HCG BETA number is 1,442!!!!! It's hard to believe that high number and I even tested a day early :lol: . You know, when I had a chemical pregnancy before I started out with an HCG level of only 14. I don't have to worry this time. I thank God it is finally my turn I pray and wish that all of you ladies will also have your turn soon as well. Thank you for being such a great support for me though this 2 ww. I don't know what I would have done with out you.
