Tammy,
CONGRATS on your BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So your official test is on the 11th? What HPT did you use? I am thinking of taking a test this weekend...my blood test is on the 12th, so this weekend is probably ok? not too early? i want to make sure to get the most sensitive HPT test I can.

I posted a big post yesterday for everyone but it looks like it never posted!

Hope everyone else is doing well and congrats on everyone else's BFPs!!

[Marin]

so just did the trigger shot. Put Emla gel on the site for 30 minutes and then iced the crap out of it until it was numb. I did not feel the needle go in at all and only a little bit felt the fluid go in. A few drops of blood after but not so bad. I used a 22 gauge 1 1/2 inch needle.

IM just kind of grosses me out.

[TammyS]

Bat: I know what you mean...I wrote this huge personals post and it never posted. So frustrating. I used Answer the one that says it is good up to 5 days before your missed period. I would wait till Sunday if you can. Good Luck!

Cincin and Tammy- Huge CONGRATS on the BFP....i can believe how many are coming...keep up the good work ladies

Marlin- GOOD LUCK FOR ER....sounds like your ET will be around the same day as mine...praying for lots of healthy eggs

Alex....FINGERS CROSSED for your BFP on monday...STAY AWAY AF

Stephaniej- Im sure your embie will be fine and snuggling down as we speak...if there were any problems your dr would have advised you if any problems.

Tammy- Congrats and thanks not making me the only cheater...lol

Alex- Hang in there, your a much stronger woman than I.

I just want to say to everyone, that you are all wonderful and help me so much.

Getting ready to leave to go to Cinci for my beta, I live in central KY and knew lots of people that got lucky at this clinic in Cinci.....so we drive a little for our appointments...no biggie.

TAmmy and Cinci- CHEATERS!!! I can't believe you POAS! Well, I guess since the results were great it's okay. Congratulations. I can't wait to get the official post from both of you.

Bat- hang tough with me girl. I was up last night at 2:30 and just couldn't sleep and I actually contemplated POAS for the first time. But, today is a new day and I've reverted back to my first decision not to.

RBJean- what's the word??

Beth- I hope you have your feet up and are relaxing.

Mia- I started Viville dots (estrogen) I put 2 on yesterday and switch 'em every other day.

to all you 2WW'ers. Stay strong. Sticky vibes to all. and....



Nothing new here. I guess I'm not tempted to POAS because I have absolutely NO symptoms. Nothing. I just can't wait for Tuesday to come so I can know something one way or the other.

I know I've missed several of you...I'm sorry. I'm at the tire store and the sales guy keeps talking to me. I can't concentrate!!! Argh.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

HIP HIP HORRAY!!!!!!!!!!!! For Katie and Hopin and Cinci and TAMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My only symptom is that i am exhausted- slept for 12 hours last night. OMG I cannot believe how much I want a bfp - it's killing me- I almost didn't want to get up at all this morning. I am afraid to POAS b/c I don't want to see a - , so I guess I am staying strong.
Weezie - I know what you're going through. I am attempting a PMA, but it just doesn't seem to be working

I'm really bumming instead of bumpin today - who knows - maybe I will POAS tomorrow and get it over with....I am usually pretty good with suspense, but this is really too much.

wish i had better news from Charm City

BUMPIN' 08

[weezie]

Loopie- don't POAS. You test Monday, right? Stay strong with me. But I know what you mean about being bummed out. I don't know if it's being bummed or just having no enthusiasm. But it is a relief to know that I'm not the only one with no symptoms. I find I get tired easily. But I wonder if it's because I'm taking it so easy. I feel like a bum.

Hope this makes your day a little brighter.....

[riogirl71]

Loopie- don't do it! Don't POAS! Stay strong and keep the PMA, bumpin' 08 remember? C'mon girl, BFP thoughts!
Weezie- don't let the lack of symptoms worry you, come people have nothing and get a BFP, you never know! Good job keeping the PMA!
Mia- I am proud of you for not POAS
RbJean- fert report?
Marin-good luck with ER, let us know, hope everything goes wonderful!
hopin- you feeling better?
jomae- how are you doing?
stephanie- I had cramps the whole time on and off every day, don't worry!
suga- how are you doing? when do you find out how many?
kelly/katie- how are you doing? got u/s dates?

to all girls which pre natal vitamin are you taking? I heard you want Vit A to be all beta carotene...

Me- can't wait for the weekend! work was really busy, I am so tired! worked until 10:30 at night last night! Waiting for the U/S!

[RBJean]

Well, I received the fert report from the embryologist today and I'm pretty bummed out. Out of 13 mature eggs, only 1 has fertilized as of today (all ICSI). Their best guess is that this is due to morphology issues??? My DH has pretty low counts and most sperm have morphology issues, but I thought ICSI bypassed that?? The 1 that fertilized is a "level 2" (middle) as far as quality and she said it looked good. But we were hoping to transfer 2 blasts to up our chances that isn't going to happen. They moved my ET to tomorrow morning (which is day 3).

I'm trying to keep positive but this was kind of a blow for us. We're praying for our 1 strong embie though.

Bat - did you experience something similar?? Did they have any explanations for you?

[Rinnie]

Oh my gawd...all the BFP's!!!! I'm so happy for all you Ladies

Tammy Woo hooo...so pleased for you girl!!!

Mia I wanted to ask you a question. I saw on another post that you were going to order your Meds from England. Did you do that? I'm trying to do some research to get the costs down a bit for the next one. Thanks!

Hi everyone. Happy Friday!
I started my Gonal F shots last night. Anyone want to give me some in site as to how I should/could feel because of the Gonal F? I wish all my shots where like the Gonal F. The needle is so small that its almost kind of cute.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
Have a great weekend!

[riogirl71]

21- you should look at the post that says this is what happens on a 5 day transfer (I think yours was a 5 day) because that will help to tell after which date it would be ok to test, also check out
http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hpt.html
for the sensitivity of the HPTs... but my best advice is don't POAS!
cooking I was on follistim which I think is similar, I had some bloating, a little moody but nothing too bad, in my opinion the stimms were pretty mild.
Rbjean- I am so sorry about your fert report, but please keep your PMA because it only does take one special embie. Have you and DH considered donor sperm? If so, you might be able to just do an IUI, but hopefully not necessary because you have one little fighter!!! Good luck and I will be praying for your little guy! My DH has low count but I thought that with ICSI they picked the good swimmers, I am not sure... We did ICSI and got the 4 mature eggs fertilized, so I thought ICSI took care of that.

[Marin]

Cookinggirl- I agree the Gonal F needle is tiny and all I felt was sometimes stinging at the end of the medication. Bruised twice. Not a big deal. My only symptoms were crankiness and sore nipples! I am not that bloated so far but I have fewer follies than most people I think (8 on the right, 4 on the left).

Good luck!!

[riogirl71]

Marin - I disagree - I think you have a great number of follies! I had 10!
