well, i'm afraid i'm going to break the BFP streak you all have going. i just did an HPT and it was negative :cry: :cry: :cry:
I am 6 days past my day5 transfer, so it could be early, but chances are that it's a BFN for me :( :(
I go in for bloodwork on tuesday so i will find out for sure then, but at least i can get all my crying out of my system now and not at work when i get the call

Katie: I can't believe you were in the hospital for 5 days. You poor thing! Sorry to hear this has been rough on you. Glad the baby's fine and your beta look great. Rest up!

21Bat: Keep your chin up. It's still early to tell. Remember, hpts don't pick up HCG until it reaches a certain level. Big hugs to you ...

Bat: The girls are right. They are testing you only 14 days after ER...if they were testing me 14 days after ER then my BFP would have been only 1 day early. It looks like 4 days early cause they are testing me 17 days after ER. Make sence? So I say it is wayyy to early and keep the PMA!

Thanks guys!

I actually looked at the HPT test again and there's a super super light line. you can't see it if you just look at the test, you really have to look closely to see it. so that gave DH and i some hope. but we either didn't see it the first time, or....i read that sometimes the HPTs show a second line later on meaning that it's been sitting out too long. not sure. do you guys think an HPT wouldn't pick up a pregnancy 6 days after a 5day transfer??

i think i'll take another test on tues morning before i go in for blood work.

by the way, congrats to all the other BFPs!!!!

Katie: Sorry to hear about the troubles!! Hopefully it gets better soon!!

Bat: It may be too early! Dont get down just yet! Keep your hopes up! Hopefully everything will turn out for the best!

Marin: ER? How did it go? You in pain or just fine?

RBjean: Good luck with those three little ones!

Weezie: WHOO WOOO!!! I did one 13 days after transfer and it was positive and the beta confirmed it!

KatieG: As for me, the only symptoms I have are enlarged breasts (not a lot though...just full) and I am EXHAUSTED! So lazy that when I am home I am in bed sleeping all the darn time! My husband is having to do all the housework haha. And I have noticed I have to get up at least once in the night to potty which I did not used to have to do...So far no sickness but I think that is too early still.

Bat: You were posting the same time as me...so I want to make sure you see my other post. LOL I am 15 days past ER and I have fuller boobs...and mild cramping too. The really painful cramp you felt was probably implantation! My fingers are crossed. I would keep testing and not expect anything to show up till Monday or Tuesday. They are testing you early...so you cant take a test early.

Bat: I just went back and saw your other post, too. LOL A line is a line. My first one was so faint that you had to look extremely close. After about an hour it darkened a bit! I am thinking this is really great great news for you. I say test again, tomorrow. :D

Hi all

I am lying on the sofa watching 12 hours of TV and movies, intermittently napping with my dog and cat.

Felt really good right after ER today but tonight I think the pain meds they used have worn off and now its hard to stand up straight. Ovaries hurt a lot. Minimal spotting. 12 eggs out of 13 follies. They seem happy with this. They decided not to do ICSI since I have been preg once before with IUI.

Fert report tomorrow afternoon! Keep your fingers crossed for my dozen eggs! Plan is ET on Tuesday 2/12 or Thursday 2/14 (Valentines day!) depending on fert and growth.

Bat- sounds too early to test to me and a faint positive is still a positive! PMA! good luck. keep us updated!

Yeah sounds like we were all posting at the same time! Thanks you guys gave me hope again! And DH is convinced again that I'm pregnant :) he's an eternal optimist :)
Should I test tomorrow or wait til Mon or Tues AM? I have a big important day at work on Monday and will try not to think about it that day, so I think I'll either take the test Tues morning or tomorrow.

Thank you so much for all your posts!!!! It still hasn't sunk in yet...and I haven't told ANYBODY yet!!!!! Can't wait!
DH home later today and still unsure of how to tell him.. have bought a "I love Daddy" bib and a teeny weeny baby-gro so will either have them lying on the bed for when he walks in.. or will just take him into our room (as need a little privacy from his bro!) put his hand on my belly and say "congratulations....." and that way I can totally watch the look on his face....
Will let you know.
Just a quick note to 21Bat... my line on poas was super faint to start with and when they did the beta later that day she said the level was really high and may be twins.... so don't go on the coulour of the line....just go with the fact that there IS a line!!!!!! I just know in my waters it will be a BFP for you.... :D
Good luck to the rest of you... rest and take it easy and know that your liitle soul will find you soon enough x

21bat - It might definitelybe too early totell so please don't give up and keep the PMA and PUPO thoughts! Look at the what happens on a 3 day transfer post, they haave one in there about 5 day and which day it starts being noticeable on the HPT.
Katie- I am so sorry to hear about your ordeal, you poor thing. I am sooglad to hear that the baby is ok. I have been so sleepy, mild cramping, huge belly (like 5 mos). No nausea, feeling fine otherwise. I hope you feel better!
Suga- I saw your ticker and I am confused, my ET was a 3 day and according to my RE I am 5 weeks today (ET 1/21) I think your ET was 2 days before mine but your ticker shows you more days ahead, how did you calculate that?
Marin- praying for a good fert report, take it easy and be good to yourself, great number of eggs! Keep us posted on the report! Fert vibes your way!!!
Tammy- glad to har your aunt is getting better, how are you feeling?
Rbjean- 3 is great!!!
