sage,
i dont know much about assisted hatcing but we also signed consent forms allowing them to do if it necessary. what i do know if that there's a higher chance of the embryo splitting (resulting in you having twins from one embryo) because it was hatched with "Assistance" and not naturally :)

Sage: The only thing I know is that there is a greater risk for the embryo to split and get identitcal twins. My re said if he needs to do it he will. BUt I had a 5 day transfer, so no AH for me.

Ems: WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooo FET on the 12th. It wil be here before you know it. Don't leave us again :) Come back and update us!

Weezie: It looks like your busy week will make the last week fly by!! I am jealous you get your beta before me :( no fair!

Katie: Glad you had time to do something creative! DH has no idea what day I test, so hopefully I will be able to surprise him! Did your clinic say that it is ok as long as you pee? Still seems strange if you are in a lot of pain still. Maybe you should give them another call and ask at what point should I be concerned? 25lbs!?

I just made the best shrimp soup ever!!! Never made it before, but it is yummy... I can have shrimp right?? jeez it is so hard to keep up with what I allowed to eat!

(looks like my first post didn't go through...what's wrong with the site today?)

anyway,
SAGE - i dont know much about assisted hatching, but they told us that there's a higher chance of the embryo splitting (resulting in identical twins) because the egg was hatched "with assistance" and not naturally.
we also had to sign consent forms giving them permission to do it if they felt the need to.

Marin: Your numbers look good. I bet you seem them start to go up pretty quick now and you'll be at ER in no time! Keep us posted.

Suga:
Twins would be amazing!!

KellyM: Keep your chin up and stay strong! Sorry to heard you have been down. I'm sending PMA vibes to you ...

Rio:
I'm thinking double beta for you tomorrow. Good luck!

A quick update. Trigger shot went well last night. A little bleeding, which made me paranoid that the medicine leaked out a little. I have never had the level of paranoia that I seem to have at every new IVF step! ER is 1:30 tomorrow for me.

I'm thinking of the rest of you too! It's funny how much I look forward to checking on "my girls" at the end of the day. I've been pretty good about not checking at work which has been easy since things have been a little hectic.

Rio: I'm thinking double betas for you tomorrow!!

KellyM: Sorry to hear you've been down. Keep your head up. I know it's hard to keep your PMA through all these ups and downs, but we're all sending positive vibes your way.

I'm thinking of everyone else too! It's funny how much I look forward to checking on "my girls" at the end of the day. I'm pretty good about not checking during work, which is easy since things have been so hectic.

My update: Trigger went well last night. DH did pretty good, though he was so nervous. Bled a little and made me paranoid that some medicine leaked out. ER at 1:30 tomorrow!!

21bat: no symptoms here. I am not expecting any though. The PIO is giving me big sore boobs with enlarged nipples. occasional cramp in my ovary area. That is it.

I hope the site is working right by tomorrow. This is getting frustrating :evil:

Good luck RBJean with ER tomorrow!!!

bat- about the 2WW... I am very gassy and just today I had slight cramping. It was only 2x and it only lasted for a few minutes. In fact, I have some right now. I read where someone posted the PIO may be culprit for the gas. I hope so and I hope it goes away when we stop the shots.
