WOW!!! I can't believe all of the BFP!!! I hope that they continue right through the month! Congrats to all of you. If any of you feel like I do, I am sure you thought that the day might never come

Well, I go in tomorrow for my second scan. My ovaries are bothering me today. It is painful to walk my dogs, bend over, etc. Is this something that is common??

By the way, I am so glad the board is back up and running. Thanks Riogirl for keeping the list updated! It is so helpful.

CONGRATS!!! TAMMY and CINCI

WOO-HOO!!! You cheaters!! I hope your betas are very strong!!! For now celebrate!!!

I am in shock at all the BFPs!! I can't wait to add mine to the list!!

Rio: I have not had a big lump, but I have read that other girls do have it sometimes.. Are you doing the shot high enough?? And no ma'am I will not be POAS any time soon!! I think I am just lying to myself and saying it would not be conclusive so I won't be tempted. One more week. This last week has really flown by. i am trying to enjoy this time you know? Before I know.

dcu: Welcome! I know it is not uncommon, that is why they double check to make sure the embryo actually went in. I wouldn't worry though. I am sure Ghost will be able to give you some stats..

Loopie: Are you still staying strong?? don't let these POAS addicts influence you!!

Weezie: why are you on patches?? I am feeling great! no moodiness. but I was feeling light headed today, I think b/c I have not been drinking my water today like I am supposed to I have been doing mild cleaning and if you are up to it I say do it. Sometimes a messy house is more stress then cleaning it.

Hello lovely ladies... so glad to be a part of this thread..... if the BFP's are anything to go by it looks pretty good!!!!!!!!
WELL DONE to all of you whose wish has come true so far it keeps my spirits up!!!
An extra special HURRAYYYY!!!!! to Kelly whose path is sooo similar to my own and gives me such hope that there can be a happy ending..... do you mind me asking was it dh's sperm or donor?? also,did you have to wait long for donor eggs??

Just a quick update.. as you know yesterday was my final BT day but I am waiting until Monday to go in in the hope that AF hasn't started by then
In the past 6 attempts AF has started on the night of my final BT ( as though my body was just waiting to HEAR that it hadn't worked before it started... ) and on 1 other attempt it started the night after the "sorry it hasn't worked" phonecall...
SOOO I have got through yesterday with no bleeding so if I get through today then things are looking good ... just need to stay very busy today to keep my mind off thing.... and will keep you guys posted x x

My goodness - congrats Tammy Cinci that is wonderful news!!! It sounds like you are both in good shape for your beta results!!!

Alex, we used donor sperm just to be safe. We figured that we wouldn't be trying this much longer so we went for it. I am so happy that we did because it worked!!! I am excited for my beta tomorrow - wondering what it is now.

Best of luck to all the ladies on this board - it looks like the odds are good this month!!!!

Hi,
This is my first time to do IVF. We put two eggs in on Sunday, the 3rd. I've been having intermittent cramping and from what I've read this pretty normal. All day today, I felt like I was going to get my period any minute! Has anyone else experienced this and got a BFP? I guess I'm just wondering how much cramping can be expected or is normal. I'm trying to stay positive until I go in for my first Beta on Tuesday, the 12th. But, very anxious!

Thanks! I have been reading this site for a while and the forums are so great and supportive!

[Marin]

Wow. How frustrating last night! I ended up posting everything >3 times. yikes.

Anyway, things are amazing on this board!! So many BFPs!! Congratulations to everyone!! So happy for all of you.

Stephanie- from other peoples posts, it seems that any signs can happen in the 2WW and may or may not mean anything significant. So, dont worry. You are PUPO.

My E2 today doubled to 1815, endometrium 12.5. 9 on the right, 4 on the left. They seem to think this is ok. So, tonight, TRIGGER at 9PM. This is the first IM injection so I am not looking forward to it but knowing all of you did it and lived makes me feel a bit better. Done with the Gonal F now, still taking Lupron 5U. Bloodwork tomorrow AM, ER on Sat at 9AM! Wheeee! You were right, time just flies by!! So I guess that means ET 2/12 or 2/14.

hi everyone, boy I fell behind in posts today. Glad it seems to be working again, though.

Marin: I had 16-17 eggs and ER was super easy. Felt A-OK after too - just some mild cramping yesterday and today. Went back to work today. I get the fert report tomorrow, so I'm keeping a bright PMA for strong embies!! My DH was super anxious about giving a live donation at the clinic for ER. So he did it at home and brought the sample in. No probs. Much less stressful that way for some of our DHs. Your E2 looks great. Bet it goes up a lot again by tomorrow. Keep us posted on your ER date!

Alex: I'm sending calm vibes your way. I know it's hard but try to take deep breaths and relax during your 2WW. Maybe try meditating to clear your head. I praying for a BFP for you.

Kildean: I'm sure you'll be joining our awesome BFP list in no time. Hang in there!

Kelly: Great Beta - looking good!

TammyS: I'm praying your home test was right and I'm sure it was! Hang in there until your Beta and it will confirm your good news. You deserve it!

Beth: GOOD LUCK on your ET tomorrow!! I'll be praying for you.

Lovebug: Welcome and good luck on your stims. You'll be at ER before you know it. That's how I felt.

Hopin: Sorry to hear you're sick. It seems that has happened to a few people after ET. Maybe this ordeal lowers our defenses a little. TAke care of yourself!

Rio: I know what you mean. I was totally buggin' when the board wasn't working. It's kind of my lifeline right now (other than my DH who is fab).

Weezie: Cheer up I'll have to do some reading up on the rat year stuff ... sounds interesting.

Cinncinati: Crossing my fingers and toes for you.

Hi to everyone else too!!
