WOW it is so hard to keep up. I am sick :cry: Have the flu, so I haven't been keeping up too much with posting. I just wanted to say, hang in there everyone, and lots of baby dust and big follie wishes for everyone!

Tammy: I also wanted to let you know that I started out with EXACTLY what you are describing, and then it turned into spotting (brownish) VERY lightly, and only in the afternoon and about once per day, hardly anything. After I got my BFP, my doc said it could have been implantation bleeding. Nothing to worry about! Good luck to you and I will be praying and sending tons of baby vibes your way!

To all the 2ww, DON'T DO IT! HPTs only accurately pick up hcg levels 16% of the time when taken before the 5th week! Plus, even if you don't get a positive result on the stick you could still be preggers, so it doesn't even answer anything! Don't torture yourself! Just try to be patient and keep referring to yourself as pregnant and treat yourself like you have baby(ies) in there!! The power of thought is crazy!

To all the BFP ladies, congratulations I look forward to seeing all of you on the October Bump Buddies thread when it gets started (I am too superstitious to start it yet! :shock: )

To those who didn't conceive this time, try to stay positive, it will work for you, it is just a matter of time. This was me second IVF and I feel VERY lucky it worked, so hang in there, and try not to get too down. Lots of warm wishes and heartfelt hugs your way.

To all those stimming, keep up the positive thinking and hold onto that thought that it only takes 1! And don't forget to buy a pineapple for ET +5!! :)

Thanks to everyone who helped me through this cycle, and reminded me everyday that there are others who have it harder than me, and many who understand what the world of infertility is like. You ladies are a god send!

I hope everyone is having a great day. Nothing exciting going on here. I started my patches today and I don't know if it's the patches or the PIO, but I am moody as hell :twisted: DH seems to be working my very last nerve! Well, guess I'll go take a nap. Maybe I'll wake up in a better mood :wink:

Congrats to Hopin and Kelly!!!


Well I was bad. I just went to lunch and POAS! :oops: My beta is tomorrow and just couldn't wait anymore. Had a rough day at work and needed some good news. Well the HPT was +++, very dark lines. So whats the odds it's a false +++. I am 12dp3dt, so its been a while since i took the hcg shots. Anyways....it's a good start... :D

Cincinnati: I think I would be more afraid of a false negative, then a positive. I heard they are pretty rare- so dont get all your hopes up, but I think you can relax and enjoy being "a little pregnant" :?

Beth: Good luck tomorrow! I hope evrything goes well!

Is anyone else doing thier ER around the 15th?

guess the reply post worked!

by the way, congrats on the BFPs, ladies!!!

what i was going to post was this....it's really bothering me, so i wanted to get a reply...just had my et today, transferred one good one. (i have a small uterus and multiples would be bad)...when the doc (not mine, they are a group and they change it up) tried to transfer the embie the first time, it had gotten stuck in the catheter...they flushed it out and re-implanted it. the doc said that this happens sometimes and it does not affect the embryo....any one experience this? i really wanted to post this for ghost. when and if my question does get posted, so will my other 2 or 3 attempts..and i will clutter up the board...sorry!

again, congrats to the BFPs....and baby dust to us TTC!!!!
