TammyS--

We also did three. I think that is a good number. We did becasue our third that made it to blast was only grade B, so chances for that one arent as high. Anyway, Good luck, I hope everything works out for you. The transfer is a breeze! What time do you go tomorrow???

Neffi: We are to be there at 1:30 pm. However, the good news the idiot acupuncturist who has been stringing me along with appts or not and not calling back and (long story)...is fired by me. I called someone else who is 5 minutes from the clinic (45 min from home still) and I left him a message today (sunday) and he called me right back. He even told me he would get me in today! I opted for tomorrow morning at 11:00 which would allow us enough time to eat lunch and go get my embabies. He is also not only cheaper, but covered 40% by my benefits too!!! Yayy! So I am thinking tomorrow before the transfer for an hour or so and then on Wednesday and maybe Friday.

Did you transfer all blasts??? 2 grade A and 1 grade B???

TammyS--

the grading systems for blasts, according to my RE, Is Grade D the best then C,B,A. We transferred One D, One C and one B. I know the grades seem backwards. So anyway....good luck, I'm glad you found someone new to do your acupuncture. i didnt do acupuncture, but maybe I will in the future. Although I dont plan on doing this again anytime soon/......PMA :D :D :D :D

Tammy,
I'm sooo very excited for you! However many you decide to transfer tomorrow just be aware there is a possiblity of each one sticking and attaching, however also know the more you transfer the higher success rate of at least one sticking an attaching. I wish and pray for a smooth wonderful transfer for you tomorrow.

TammyS: Wishing you all the best today with your transfer!!! The acupuncture will totally relax you and then you will be ready to go get your embies! I'm glad you found a good acupuncturist. The other guy sounded awful! Rest up and enjoy your time off from work!

Hello Ladies,

How are you all doing?

Washingtonda- accupunture is even advisory during the first trimester, but do it with someone specializing in fertilty field, otherwise it is too risky. I would recommend a chinese accupuncturist, they are trained for years vs few months here and they come from a country where accupunture has been done for 4K years!
Sleeping on your tummy is ok now, when there is no big belly yet, so enjoy it while you can :)
And how are you feeling? how are the suppositories working for you? I am wondering wheather I should ask my doc to switch from shots to suppositories, cause my butt is really REALLY sore and blue.

Neffi- your test day is almost here. I test 2 days after you and am going crazy already. how are you? Do you have any symptoms, did you try hpt? i felt nauseaous this morning, but this may as well be from the hcg booster shot I took on Sat night :(

TammyS- good luck today. Accupunture is very good to have on the transfer day, before and after (twice). Before it increases the blooodflow in your utersus, after it is mainly for relaxation. then anothe rone 3 days later, and then once a week till the end of your 1st trimester. good luck and relax.

hey everyone

the mood of this thread seems to be so electric,everything and everyone seems to be moving an an increased pace

first off Esperanza let me say how very sorry i am about your bfn but its great to know that you're already looking ahead with anticipation to your next cycle(i envy u your spirit)

washingtonda,about the suppositries i am doing cyclogest x2 a day,started them right after ER and was told to insert them rectally until ET, after hearing about the mess u get with them vaginally and th added inconvenience of having to lie down for at least 15mins,i am happy to report that none of this has been a concern for me because of the method used for insertion

As for everything else with me i had ER on thursday and 7 eggs were retrieved,3 managed to be fertilised via icsi...truned up for ET yesterday and was told that 1 of the 3 did not make it,i was kinda disappointed but was told by the doctor that the remaining 2 being transferred were 8 cell so God willing one or both of them will decide they want to stay with "momma"

to all you other ladies nearing the end of your two week wait lots and and lots of stick vibes to u

Tammy how did ET go...how many did u transfer?

laglenik - Thanks for the response. My nurse advised me that I did not have to lye down after the suppositories. I plan to do it if I have the time and if I don't , I'm not gonna worry too much about it. Good luck during your 2WW. I know it's tough but just stay positive.

TammyS - Good luck at ET today. Please let us know how things went. Now your in that dreadful 2WW. Just rest and take it easy. All will be just fine.

LostGirl - Did you have your U/S today? How did it go?

Andnichole and Neffi211- How are things going with your 2WW. Are you having any sort of symptoms. When do you girls test?

Schel/CT_Michelle - What's the latest on you two. Are there any more U/S scheduled or are you just awaiting appointments with your new OBGYNs.

As for me. I am feeling great. I just got my telephone all and my second Beta was 2132!!! Whoo Hooo!!! I go back for my third and last beta on Wednesday. They talked about scheduling my first U/S for the 7th or 8th by my DH will be out of the state visiting his parents so I asked if we could wait until the 11th. They didn't see any problem with that and said that I should probably see the heartbeat at that time too since I will be 7 weeks.
