andnichole - hope you are feeling fine after the ER - great that 3 follies all had eggs! look forward to hearing about how everything is going. It made me smile to read about how excited you were to get to the ER stage - great PMA, keep it going!

esperanza - almost there!! the 2ww is so very, very long. -- but you are in the home stretch, you can do it! You are right, the progesterone can give you tons of symptoms and on the other hand, some women don't feel a thing - right - right - right. There is nothing that can tell you if it worked except for a test - so until that day is here, try your best to keep up the PMA and keep thinking PUPO...rest as much as you can, take a nice walk in the fresh air to help you concentrate, and take care of yourself. your day will be here soon.

princessb - congratulations!!!!

colesmom - good luck today with your ER! rest, drink lots of water, and take care until ET!

washingtonda - thinking of you and hoping to read about a BFP at the end of the week!!!

Sorry for the long wait on the u/s report. School starts Monday and our Teaching Assistant training started Thursday and it has been insane since. My U/S showed a heartbeat. Very cool. The pic she captured looked like Michelle's, but there was a brief moment she had a more clear image. Not sure why she didn't hold out for a more distinct image - but perhaps it is better to stay farther away...not sure.

Yesterday was full of tears and temporary sadness. My parents were coming up (5 hr trip) to help celebrate my birthday (which is today) and I cleaned the house all morning

Just before they got here, I started bleeding red blood. I called the nurse at my Dr's office and she said go to the ER if I filled a regular liner in 1/2 hour. I didn't quite, but Mom and DH wern't taking any chances if there was something that could be done. I argued that there isn't anything anyone can do - but I was outnumbered. So...spent 3 hrs in the ER and got bloodwork and an u/s. They wouldn't let me see the U/S and spent a ton of time doing it. The final report was that the fetus is ok (Heart rate = 150) but there was some evidence of bleeding in the region of the placenta (DUH!). I am supposed to go back to the ER if I fill 3 regular size liners in one hour or if the discharge is lumpy. Well, since I am on crinone cream (progesterone suppository) it is always lumpy! I will go to see my doctor tomorrow morning.

So...to those ladies that are in early pregnancy - I guess bleeding is somewhat normal - but it is really scary. Actually, I feel like perhaps one of the ladies on this thread had an episode of bleeding early on.

Today I will take it easy and do all the grading I was supposed to do Thurs/Fri night and Sat. Then, Mom will make a birthday cake. Assuming there is no significant bleeding today, I will consider that my best birthday present.

OK - now for personals

Andnicole - it is great that you were able to retrieve 3 follies. Are we still waiting for a fert report, or did I miss it?

Colesmom - how did the ER go?

PrincessB - CONGRATULATIONS!!

You must be over the moon.

Unexplained - I had an ER for Thu on my list, but no update after that?? How did it go?

Doreen and Esperenza - how are you doing ladies? It is so tough to wait...

Neffi - 14 eggs - that is wonderful. Can't wait to hear the fert report.

Pricecake - my heart is broken for you. I am glad to hear that you will cycle again. Hopefully you can do something just to pamper yourself right now. You deserve it.

Lots of ER's and Beta's coming up! GOOD LUCK.

MELISSA:

I'm sorry you had to go through such a scary situation. Believe me, I understand exactly how you feel But hey! it sounds like your baby is holding on...strong child like his/her mama

Enjoy your day, your parents, your cake, and the pampering from dh.

Andnichole YAY! I remember when you were afraid they would cancel your cycle. I'm telling ya, it pays off to keep a positive attitude (I should follow my own advice) PMA!!!

Colesmom: best wishes today hun. Rest up and drink LOTS of liquids.

Tammy S--your time is coming!

Pricecake--how are you doing sweety?

PricessB and Amy-- Thank you so much for your words of encouragement, they are helpful. You two are right; I am praying and feeling pretty PUPO!

I haven't POAS and I had said I wouldn't, but I'm feeling tempted now. I don't think DH will let me anyway:twisted: Right now I'm depending on him because my car is broken and I don't drive stick (i.e. his car!) ...no walking distance pharmacies around here.
Please keep the words of encouragement coming!

WashingtonDA--how are you making it, my 2ww partner?

Pricecake - So very sorry that it was not what we were all hoping for you. Take time for yourself but don't give up. It is a hard road but I know we all will be blessed with our little ones. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

OK, I am officially on the 2ww. I had the transfer yesterday, they transferred 2 pretty good embies (on the border between grade A and B) and froze 6. My lining is 9.9 (is it ok?) I slept most of yesterday (at least 18 hrs) and today I am ready to get up and do something but the doc told to me to stay in bed till Tues.
So I lie in bed with my 2 cats and a laptop and hope to survive till Tues, and then till the test day. In all the commotion yesterday we lost our embies' pic and all the paperwork from the doc, so I dont even know what day the test day is

Will call on Tues. Maybe we left the pic in the procedure room... It was a really nice picture.
I know that all of you who are getting closer to the test day are getting anxious, but I envy you that you are close, I have 2 VEEEEEEEEEEEry long weeks of uncertainty ahead. I really wish it would work out this time. Third time is a charm...

Hi Ladies

Unexplained - Awesome, you have two beautiful embie babies snuggling in. This whole process is nerve wrecking. I'm sure they have your photo of your babies and will get them back to you. Rest up and get yourself pampered!!

MLB - Happy Birthday! I'm so happy that you were able to know that baby is all okay. Your absolutely right, bleeding is very common in early pregnancy and can scare the bajevus out of a person. You sound like you have it together. Glad your parents was there for you. Rest up and keep us posted.

Andnichole - Three follies are a great number! Praying hard for an excellant fert report for you.

esperanza and washingtonda - You both derserve big hand claps sweetie!! You ladies have been doing great so far. Almost there and if you can hold out for beta, do so. I know I couldn't but I'm a very different type of cookie

!! Those so called symptoms are found in BFN and BFP....don't try to figure them out! Praying for those BFP for both of you

Neffi - 14 embies....wowsers!! Can't wait to hear your fert report!

colesmom - how did everything go? Let us know when you feel up to it.

TammyS - Thinking of you and hoping time flies by!!

As for me, only dealing with a yucky bladder infection. Hate it,

! Re says it is common in pregnancy...stocking up on cranberry juice. Next u/s this Thursday and praying baby is A-Ok! DH calls me his little worry wart, duh??? Gotta love him

Baby dust to all of you ladies

Well the fert. report is in...10 fertilized eggs!!!! I am happy with that number. RE said they all look really good! I said to Dh this morning....I'll be happy if the number is 10, and it is, so I have nothing to complain about. I just hope they all keep growing so I can have many to freeze. I am feeling much better today after ER. Just a little crampy, but it was pretty easy. I am off work tomorrow too..so I can have some time to relax. Transfer is scheduled for thursday (day 5 transfer) as long as things progress as expected.

Andnichole--I'm so glad you had 3 eggs, waiting for the fert report....

Hellokitty, yuck

a bladder infection, hope you are feeling better

MLB-- what a scare, happy birthday, I'm glad things are okay for your liitle one

TammyS-- how are you??

Esperanza and Washingtonda-- hope your keeping sane through the 2ww

Unexplained-- rest and enjoy your time in bed....those embies will thank you

Okay, I'll check back later girls....thinking of all of you

washingtonda · Post by **washingtonda** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 5:31 pm

Hey girls I'm gonna POAS today. I can't take it anymore. I am 7dp6dt I should get a pretty positive result huh.

This 2WW is killing me.

washingtonda · Post by **washingtonda** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 6:55 pm

HEY GIRLS!! I COULDN'T WAIT SO I JUST DID A FIRST RESPONSE HPT AND IT'S A POSITIVE. THE SECOND LINE STARTED TO FILL IN ALMOST AS SOON AS I SAT THE TEST ON THE COUNTER. IT IS NO FAINT LINE EITHER. IT'S NOT AS DARK AS THE MAIN LINE BUT IT IS PRETTY CLOSE. MY DH IS TRYING TO GET A GOOD PICTURE SO I CAN POST TO LET YOU'LL SEE.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THAT THIS MAY BE THE REAL THING. I DID MY TRIGGER (HCG) ON JAN 5TH WHICH WAS 15 DAYS AGO. I AM 7DP6DT. THEY TRANSFERRED 2 BLAST EMBRYOS WITH ASSISTED HATCHING. COULD THIS RESULT BE GOOD COUNTING THE DAYS OF EVERYTHING. WE BOUGHT TWO DIFFERENT TEST (FIRST RESPONSE AND EPT CERTAINTY). I WON'T DO ANY MORE TODAY BUT WILL DO ONE EVERYDAY UNTIL MY ACTUAL TEST DAY.

PREGNANT LADIES PLEASE ANSWER BACK.

CONGRATULATIONS WASHINGTONDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hellokitty · Post by **hellokitty** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 7:27 pm

Washingtonda - That is a BFP, sweetie!!! Enjoy it!!!

PrincessB · Post by **PrincessB** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 7:29 pm

OH MY GOSH!
Washingtonda- I am sooo Happy for you

DH just walked in right when i read your post and I was crying. He said "I'm happy too" and I was like "No, one of my other girls got a BFP!"

It sounds like it's a solid yes for you!!! Just be ready to deal with the emotions. lol

washingtonda · Post by **washingtonda** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 7:34 pm

THANKS GIRLS. I AM FULL OF EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW. I AM GOING TO POST A PICTURE OF MY HPT AS SOON AS MY HUSBAND GET A GOOD ONE. OUR CAMERA AIN'T THE BEST SO HE'S PLAYING WITH IT A LITTLE.

THE LINE WAS VERY DARK AND STARTED TO APPEAR AS SOON AS I SAT IT DOWN ON THE SINK.

DO YOU'LL THINK THAT THE TIMING IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THAT TRIGGER SHOT TO BE OUT OF MY SYSTEM IF I TOOK THAT ON 1/5/08?

I'D BE SO DISAPPOINTED IF THIS IS A FALSE POSITIVE.

PRINCESSB - DID YOU GET A POSITIVE EVRY TIME YOU POAS. I HAVE FOUR TEST LEFT SO I PLAN TO DO ONE EVERY MORNING UNTIL MY TEST DAY ON THURSDAY.

WILL BE POSTING PIC SOON.

hellokitty · Post by **hellokitty** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 7:35 pm

Neffi - Congrats on 10 embie babies. I'm sure you will have some to freeze. Praying for those embies to keep growing for you and DH. Rest up!!
