Kbear: Can't wait to hear the good news !!! :o) I bet you cen't think about anything but the call!!

Wow so many new ppl since I went in yesterday for my ET!

Donna: If those 6 continue to develop then that is great. Try not to worry until the doc tells you to worry. YOu need to stay positive!! :)

Jomae: Woohoo girl!!!!! Congrats on being Pupo!! That one was a fighter, huh? And all that worrying for nothing :wink: Glad you are back on the road toward your bfp.

Weezie, Oh no you have gone glitter crazy!!! :lol: That is what all that time by yourself in bedrest will do to you!!

Suga: Did you go ahead and do the shot???

Cinci: Don't worry I think a lot of these girls were feeling the bloating before ET and it just got worse. Stay positive that u are pg AND don't have to worry about all those yucky symptoms!!

TLova: 2 grade A is GREAT!!! Don't pay any attention to symptoms, with the meds it is just too hard to decipher what means what.

Kelly: I always try to prepare myself toward the end of the 2www also. But stay positive and it ain't over until it is over - and it aint over yet!!

jcw: WELCOME!!! wow your 2ww is like 18 days!! I wonder why some clinics have such long waits?? Welcome any way and remember we are all pg until proven otherwise!

Rio: 24 hours down and not tempted... oh these 16 days will fly by :shock:

Alex: Welcome!! Wow, sounds like you will be having somefun over the next few weeks. That will def. make the time fly by!!!

Batty: Yes you can lie on your side any position. I mean think about it your embies had to make it on the bumpy ride home and now it is more about you resting than being still. the embies are free floating until implantation about 48 hours later.

OK, My back is hurting from laying down, but I am about to make some bfast for myself. OH I asked the nurse to check where dh was doing the shot and he was doing them like and inch too low. They are done pretty high. iN fact with my low rise undies I don't even have to take them off. Just wanted to let you know so ya'll can double check when you go in to your clinic. I am sure some of you had the nurse draw circles already.

I am feeling fine. Dh kinda stayed in bed with me most of yesterday. SO I couldn't get online :lol: :( . and dh still has a rash on his back he started to get while taking the doxy. it is kinda getting worse so I will email the nurse today and ask her about it. Alright I need to eat bfast cuz my embies are STARVIN!! great to use that excuse :wink:

LOL Mia!!! Too funny. I am glad they moved it up for ya. Valentines Day ...what a great day, too. I am gonna have the nurse check my shot spot too, now. Thanks for the tip.

Donna: It is still early. I kept on growing more follicles as the days went by...and you will too. I have learned that sometimes more is not better. Quality is the key here. You will do great ....I am sure of it!

Jomae: I am soooo excited for you!!! That is awesome!!! You go PUPO!!!Yayyy!!!! Woohoo!!! LOL Can you tell I am excited?! LOL

KBear: I am sitting here anxiously awaiting your news!

Suga: What did they say about the shot??

Weezie: One handed typing gets easier..LOL Glitter crazy...you must be bored. LOL My aunt is still in the hosp. but seems to be slowly getting better. We are driving down today again to see her. It is an hour drive...so havent gone much. She wants me to rest as much as possible, too. She says that it is my job to grow her great nieces and nephews. LOL

TLova: That is awesome!! Way to go!!! PUPO!!

Cinncinnati: Be oh so glad...that you dont have many symptoms. LOL I have been at times biting Dh's head off too....for no good reason.

Kelly: PMA girlie! You transferred 3 great blast! I will bet you will be BFP for sure!!! Fingers crossed for you!

JCW: You may want to double check your test date too. It seems awful long...like Mia's.

Bat: Hope you are resting well. Cant wait to hear from you. How are the shoulders today?

Rio: Glad you are feeling better about the orgasm thing. Any new news with you?

Alex: Have fun with your brother-in-law! That will sure help the time to go by quickly.

RBJean: Good Luck today with ER. Let us know how it goes.

Julia: Welcome and Baby Dust!

Loopie: My 2ww buddy. Only 1 more week to go girlie! I am gonna poas on Saturday and Sunday. This way I have the weekend with DH to celebrate.

Jomae...my shoulder replacement...was due to a car accident in 1998. I was a passenger and thrown from a convertible and landed on my shoulder at 55 mphs. I am lucky to be alive. I wear my seatbelt now. :wink:

sorry I'm not doing personal posts- this bedrest thing is hard! My back is killing me, the shoulder is a little better.
MIA, glad your test is sooner than u thought. I'd go nuts waiting so long. Mine is just 2 days before yours. I'm thinking of POAS day before the test. If its negative, at least I'll be prepared and I'll try not to get my hopes up if pos. So could we be pregnant tomorrow? 48hrs after Et??

They say if you are 5dpt then implantation happens anywhere between (48 hours) or 2-6 days later. If it is 3dpt...then anywhere between 4-8 days later on average.

my 3rd beta was 304 woo-hoo!
So far my numbers have been:

10dp3dt - 67
12dp3dt - 127
14dp3dt - 304 (considered 4th week)

the nurse also said that the levels are great and she expects them to keep rising, my u/s is scheduled for week of Feb 18th (considered 6th week), I have to continue Climara patches, PIO, and Crinone up to week 10! Talk about a sore bum!

thanks! I can't wait to post more happy faces and BFPs! I have to say I am glad my RE did a 12dp3dt test and told me, I don't think I could last till 14dp3dt! :roll:
Tammy are you going to POAS? if so, which day? Which test will you take (they have different thresholds of Hcg)?

Which prenatal vitamins are you girls taking?
