Rio: Yep ...I am gonna test on Saturday and Sunday. My beta is Monday, that way DH and I are together all weekend to celebrate. That is PMA for ya. LOL I am using Answer HPT which claims you can test 5 days before missed AF. I am on the Cal-Nate prenatals. They are script...and I love them. No sickies from them.

Kbear- sweetie - I am so sorry! My heart broke when I read your post :cry: take the day with DH and I am praying that your next cycle brings you your BFP, please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Dawn- great news on your cyst! I am so glad for you!

http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hpt.html

The above link lists the sensitivity of all the HPT tests, some need 50 Hcg, some need 15Hcg, I think that if you test after 10dp3dt it should be ok, I couldn't find "Answer". So if anyone is going to POAS, pick a sensitive one! :shock: :shock:

So ladys I got a call today I got a BFP----I'm so happy I am waiting till DH comes home (plus he is in a meeting) I had no clue they were going to tell me already. My beta today was 188. I am thankful. Guess thats why im so huge still. I am thinking of a clever way to tell DH.

KBear-I am so sorry for your disappointing news. I hope that you keep trying, I know how hard it can be :(

Katie-Congrats!!!!! I can't wait to hear more BFP's

Riogirl- Could you add me to the list?? :D I am planning for a ER on 2/14 :D

Well I began my gonal f on Saturday 150 for 2 days and now starting 75 for today and tomorrow. Wednesday I will go in for a scan and blood work. Fingers crossed that I have a bunch of follicles growing! Did all of you ask specifically for your RE's to tell you your estrodial levels?? Mine never has, but I plan on asking them to call with it after each appointment.

Hope all is well with everyone. There are so many of us it is hard to keep up!! I am just psyched to be started!!

So happy for you hun. I have always wanted to tell dh in a creative way. GO to the store buy him a baby bib that says I love my daddy and then put somewhere you know he will go today, like in a drawer, or in the pantry. and then say hun can you get the noodles out of the pantry :wink: !! That would be cute!

Sage: I asked my nurse to call me or email me withe E2 levels each time. grow follies grow!!!

Tammy: Nice PMA :)

Dawn YEAHH!!! So glad the cyst is gone!!!

I went out to lunch with dh today but now I am back in bed. I was careful to walk slowly and not lift a thing :) Oh The re called and they froze one embie! So hopefully the twins will get a sibiling in a couple of years!! :wink:

kbear- so sorry to hear about your news :( take care of yourself.

Katie - Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)

I talked to the embryologist today, they froze 5 embies. 2 perfect ICSI ones and 3 a bit lower quality from the regular batch. We're happy with that.

Sage- there is a calendar on page 80 of this post that I have updated and your date is already in there – grow follies! I always asked what my estradiol levels were to make sure.
Mia- twins! :D :D Oh I wanna have twins too! Maybe we will be twin bump buddies! I am so glad you got one frozen! I wish we had frosties too!
21- sorry your shoulder hurts good news on your frosties!

Thank you for making me feel so welcome!

Kbear - so sorry about your news

Katie - congratulatins!!

Good luck/congratulations to everyone else (since I'm so rubbish as lists etc).

As for me, the reason my test date is quite late is that my clinic usually test on the 16th day but it's shut for Chinese New Year so has been put back until Saturday. The wait is killing me. Am currently feeling very gassy which is causing back ache/stomach ache (sorry if TMI!) - does anyone else feel like this? (and the back ache isn't good since it makes it feel like AF is coming... and we don't want that!)
