Weezie and Batty You two girls are soo bad. I leave you for one day and you go and POAS!! :) CONGRATS!! I hope the line just gets darker. No POAS for me!! The anxiety of it is the shot or not would kill me more than the wait!!!

Wow. I love this site. This is my first time so reading all the positive feedback is great!
Is/has anyone on this site taken 150uis of Gonal F? The reason I ask is because my pen reads that it as 450ui'sand I have been taking 150uis a day for 3 days so I thought the pen should have been empty today...but it wasnt. It had about 75uis left and now I am nervous that I dodnt give myself the right amount. Thoughts?
Thank you for all the support and positive stories.
Oh one last thing...I have not been given an ER date yet? Is that something that was given to you in advance or did you get it as your cycle progressed?

Cooking: ER date will be given the closer you get to it...and no worries my pharmacist said there is always extra medication in those things.

Mia: Get your rest and take it easy!

Rio: Dh and I are still sick with the flu...but getting better. I am starting to wonder if I have moved on to morning sickness. LOL

Alex: I wish I could see his face! Must update us as soon as he gets home...or soon after. LOL

Bat: Definetly tomorrow morning. Good Luck.

Marin: 12 is great! WTG! Let us know the fert report tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking around for the past few weeks. I decided to post today to let you ladies know don't give up. The first two times I was under so much stress and didn't realize it until this 3rd cycle. I made sure my plate was completely EMPTY before getting back to IVF. I'm so glad Dh & I took a break. Although we are not out of the woods yet this is surely a great start.

Wish: COngrats again!! 5!!! holy cow!!! You might get your own show!! :)

Tammy: Yeah!! m/s how fun!! LOL!! Sorry you have had to spend your first bit pg with the flu :( no fun!! Hope you get to feeling better soon!!

Cooking: Yes there is meds left over. in fact I took mine out by taking a subcu syringe and poking the top of the pen (where the needle) goes and then I took out the meds. YOu have to inject air 1st though. I was able to scavenge a bit from all of my pens!! SOme ppl are given ER dates in advance, but my clinic kept quiet about it until 2 days before. When I asked they did give me an estimated ER date. Good luck :)

Tammy - hope you and DH feel better soon!! Take care of yourselves. At what point in the pregnancy do you feel morning sickness?? get some rest and relax! Thanks for all your great advice as always :)

Alex - congrats on your BFP!!!! How exciting!!

Mia - i know, i couldn't hold back fro POAS!! I was actually totally fine all week and yesterday i decided that i had to know! Now i wish i hadn't taken the test. the past few hours have been such a rollercoaster of emotions. first i was sure i wasn't pregnanct, then later i saw the very faint line on the HPT, so i have no clue anymore, i'm back to square one. DH thinks i shouldn't have taken this one and shouldn't take anymore until I go to the doctor on tuesday for bloodwork.

my bloating decreased in the past 2 days ... is that unusual??

Marin - keep us posted on the fert report. 12 eggs is great!

Katie - hope you feel better soon !! take care of yourself and your little baby!!

WOW - we are on a roll here!!!

Mia- how was your anniversary celebration? I got really tired and dizzy also.
21bat- I never got nausea, I think some of us don't - good job not POAS!!! I am proud of you!
Tammy- hope you feel better soon so you guys can celebrate!
loopie- how are you doing?

:oops: embarrasing question, any of you girls had sex yet? My RE said still no sex, last night I had another dream and unfortunately another "O" talk about painful! Oh my gosh, I got cramps after it and it was not pleasant, I don't think I would even want to have sex when it hurts this bad... :oops:

Bat: When I googled m/s...mostly they say the 6th week...however they said that it is possible in the 4th week. I am considered 4 weeks and 2 days. LOL I was mostly joking...I have the flu. However, the vomiting and diarrhea has stopped ...and the nausea lingers ...so it makes me wonder. Hmmm. It seems it is not common till the 6th week, though. If it is multiples ...they said it could be worse. Bat, I say poas Sunday morning....cause I really think you are pregnant and need that confirmation to be able to concentrate on your big day on Monday. However, do what is right for you. Whatever you decide...we are pulling for you.

Rio and Mia: I had dizzyness last week too...it may be more related to the meds than pregnancy though....cause implantation had not yet even occurred for me when I had it.

Rio: Enough with the dreams already. My DH wants me to ask Monday when we can ....I tried to explain that it was not a good idea. Ugh.

Bat- as the others have said a line is a line so I think it will be a BFP for you...I would have to test again then I would know one way or the other and be prepared for Mon/Tue but do what is right for you....good luck whatever you decide

Wishluck- many CONGRATS on your BFP- 5 babies-wow....

Mia- its sounding good for you....hang in there PMA PMA

Rio- our DR's advise no sex until after the 12th week to be on the safe side. I probably would not want to before then either as im a nervous wreck anyway but also we have to carry on with the pessaries until then so it would be quite messy ugh :oops:

Marin- 12 eggs hurrah....im sure you will have lots of perfect embies. I remember feeling very sore once the meds had worn off. Not suprising considering all the poking and proding that ER entails.TAKE IT EASY

XXX :D

Congrats ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so happy for you

Marin- glad ER went well- looking forward to the fert report!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIO- I think J&K did IUI-she was on Chlomid and I think their doc wasn't paying attention -none is an ident, i think.....
I watched another show about quints- they had a nat kid when she was 17, and docs put her on chlomid at like 21 or 22 and ended up with 5 premies???

weezie!!!!!!!!!you POAS!!!! but who cares- it says BFP- and tuesday you'll get the news for sure!!! congratulations!

oh Katie- 5 days in the hospital- I am glad you're doing better- sheesh- they should have caught this sooner for you- but so happy you and the little'ns are doing well now

bat- hang in there- keep up your vites and shots- and tues will be here before you know it!!!

Tammy-have you been poas every day to watch the line??? how many days after ER did you do the 1st one?

mia- tempted??????

wish luck! congrats on the BFP- wonderful news!!!!!

I had my 3dt on the 30th and I have not peed yet-today is 14dpER I AM GOING CRAZY!!!!! I have 1 more day until i go in for the beta, and now I'm kinda anxious to just do it- i have one stick laying around in the bathroom, and each time I go in, i just look at it, then put it aside and pee, but now that everyone is doing it- perhaps i will just give it a shot...in a few hours at least - i dunno
what to do?????i've made it this far, but then again....( i don't even know what kind it is)

i am really hoping for BFPs for us all

much love and good thoughts

Loopie: I tested 13dp ER. It was very faint...but have done one every day since... and it gets darker everyday. Although I would say this morning it is the same as yesterday, which is that the 2 lines are now the same color. I am now 16dp ER. My doc goes by 2 weeks after ET which is tomorrow and is why I felt comfortable poas. You should be good now with any test...although it may be faint...if it is not an early test.

OK. Got the fert report.

12 eggs total: 6 fertilized. 4 did nothing so far, 1 disintegrated just now, 1 got fertilized by 2 overzealous sperm!

So, tomorrow they will tell me if the 6 are still growing or not. Grade etc... If at 3 days, there are more than we need, they will freeze the rest.

Is 50% ok? I have no frame of reference really. Maybe there isnt a good and bad but more a grey line?

I really want to see what they look like!
