Mrs G: I was told that I might not get it at all. I kinda got it.... very light spotting for 2 days. Which I dont even count. lol Call your doc to make sure and ease your mind.

CT_Michele: love the ultrasound...sooo cool. It's really starting to look
like a baby.

Schel: No corndogs and no sausage? What about Bob Evans sausage? Any idea?

Unexplained: I cant believe you took the wrong train home. You poor thing. Sounds like something I would do. I am still on bedrest...but typing with one hand"(one finger), now. lol I have been reading, though.

Weezie: We transferred 3 @ 3 days.

Colesmom and Blondzella: What is up ladies?

Neffi: Your 2 ww is almost over. Yayyy! My test falls on a Monday, too, and I am also poas on Sat (but next week). So I would tell you dont do it but I cant. lol

Esperanza: How is school? Hope it is going great.

Washingtonda: Your numbers sure look like twins! When do you go back again? That wouldve scared me too....just reading your post...I was holding my breathe for good news at the end of it. Whewww!

Andnichole: I think your smart not poas any earlier than 2 days early. That is what I have always done with IUI, too.

Amy, Laglenik, Kristin, Jomae, Hellokitty, MLB, ICSI Girl, Princess, and everyone else: How are you ladies doing? Love to hear from you. :D

TammyS: I am hoping to hold out til Monday to POAS.

Thankfully I have been swamped at work this week so I haven't had a lot of time to sit around and think about the optimal day to test. :D It is crazy how the 2WW can drive you batty. On the one hand I want to know right now but at the same time I like being blissfully happy that I could be pregnant and if I am not I will be very sad. I am almost afraid to find out. Yet, the urge to POAS grows with each passing day!

At what day did everyone on here test? Today I am 8DP3DT so I know it would be too early but I have read about people testing at 10 days past a 3 day transfer and getting a positive result.

Weezie: We transferred 2 at Day 3.

Definately no corndogs but if you have eaten em already don't worry about it and just don't eat no more (I ate a couple mini corndogs before I found out). The sausage I'm not sure about. I would think it's a no no cause it's processed and you should try and stay away from processed foods which is really really hard. However, If you do eat it make sure it's cooked really good and well heated through out to kill possible harmful bacteria. I'll try and do some more research.

Just jumping on really quick before heading out.

I had my 3rd and last Beta today and it came in at 4616!!! Doc say these numbers are fantastic.

They wanted to schedule my U/S for one day next week but DH leaves on Friday to go home to visit his family in CA and won't be back until the 8th so they scheduled us for the 12th at 9:30.

Please continue to pray for me and my little one(s) I'll do the same for all of you.

For all my 2WWs, hang in there. I know your time is getting short.

For all the Pregger Mom's take care of those little ones.

For all the stimming gals, as you can see from this thread alone, IVF does and can work.

To my ET and ER girls, your up next.

To all the buds that are waiting for AF or to start stimming, the time will be here before you know it.

And for my girl Esperanza, my 2WW bud, can't wait for you to get started again. Remember, we're having these babies in 2008!!! :wink:
Me, 40 - DH, 47
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.

another question for my mommas-

I have been to three dr's due to my recent sickness (my ob, the clinic and my general). They all recommend water and gatorade to stay hydrated. I have never been a gatorade drinker, but I hear it keeps you hydrated because of the electrolytes in it. My only concern, that I forgot to ask the dr's and don't want to pester them with phone calls about is, what about the dyes in them? The one I drank today has red #40, and all the baby books I have read say stay away from food dyes and artificial colors. What have your doctors said? I am sure if they all reccommedned gatorade, it must be fine, right?

Neffi- how are you feeling? you are testing on Mon (I hope I am correct this time). I have a test on Fri and wanted to do hpt this morning but it turned out I dont have any. So I will try tomorrow morning. I am a bit worried because I dont really have any symptoms :(

Mrs G - we had a bad storm in Chicago yesterday too, it was minus 7F this morning! No idea about the BCP and period. I was always getting it 3 days after stopping BCP.

Andnichole- how is your 2ww going? I wanted to test this morning (11DP3DT) but turned out I am out of pee sticks. Will do it tomorrow morning.

Washingtonda- looks like TWINS!! congrats!

CT-MIchelle- I dont know if I am a momma yet, but I would not drink gatorade with red#40 in big quantities. Try a different taste. Gatorade used to have non-color flavored drinks too, i dont know it is still carries them. They tasted the same.

Blondzella- Didnt you test today?

Got to go to my evening classes. I dont know if I will be able to concentrate on marketing for 3 hrs if I keep thinking of a pee stick...

I was on two cycles of BC before IVF....The first, it took 8DAYS! thenit finally came full force. The second cycle, it took 7 days, and I only spotted. It really depends on what pill they have you on..Michele is right, you might not get it all, which is fine, they can check your lining to make sure its okay to start your Feb cycle. I would call them and tell them whats going on. Are you having any symptoms of AF? I didnt have any the sencond time, which is why I thought it might not come at all.
Hmm I will keep that in mind. Well a few days ago I felt like it was coming, i had real light brown discharge which is my typical indicator that the witch is on her way and she still has yet to show. Im going to call my nurse tomorrow because my calendar starts tomorrow so she may want me to start the estrogen regardless...

Today marks day 7 so maybe she will show up tonight or early in the morning? Thanks for the responses!! :D I'll keep you posted! Im so excited that February is about here!!!

Michelle, why don't you ask your doctors about drinking "smart water" instead? Do you know what I am talking about? they have electrolytes AND no dyes. Check out these links:

Hi Unexplained! I hear you about the concentration. After my bfn I've been able to concentrate more, but I am still distracted :P :P

What are you studying? Marketing?

I'm thinking of you and my other ladies about to test!!! We need to add more BFPs to our list! CMON!!!!!

Luv to all.

Hi dear! You bet we are having our precious ones this year! 2008 is our year!
My mom got her visa approved to come visit us this year (she's down in Venezuela). I was SO happy to get the news because that means that she will be able to come be with me when I am about to have the baby(ies) :wink:

Those numbers are beautiful. Congratulations!
