Sage- Good luck at ER. It should be a piece of cake. Enjoy the meds! I know I did :wink:

JWC & SM- ConGrAtULatIoNs!!!!

EMS= good luck at ET. I'm sure your little frosties will be so happy to snuggle down in your warm, cozy tummy!!

Rio- I would call the RE again. If you are feeling that bad maybe you should be checked over. Even if it's not OHSS, the RE should check for anything else that may be making you feel this way and at least put your mind at ease.
About the amnio, I'm haven't even considered it. Unless, I am having major complications, no need. If there is something wrong with the baby that cannot be fixed, why know? I wouldn't terminate, so..... But that is only my opinion.

Marin- I'm using 22g 1.5 inch. They get better. I used to warm the oil in my bra before and now we just load it and shoot it. Is DH doing these for you, or you doing them yourself? Oh yeah...all the way in

You ladies are on a roll. I can't wait till my BFP is added to the list on the 19th. Did any of you ladies with the BFP's feel achy in the lower abdominal and achy in the upper thighs. I've been having this off on during this 2ww. I want to test at home but I'm scared although I do believe that I am pregnant. This has to be the best group for the BFPs. I've went through the other threads and haven't seen no where near this many.

Kildean23, that is so funny. When I was going through my 2ww I did get achiness in my upper thighs but since I didn't hear of that happening to anyone else I thought it was in my head. Maybe not!! I had cramps in my lower abdomen and achy thighs. Those were my only symptoms.
I got my very strong BFP 9pd5pt!
Best of luck!!!!

LOOPIE & JCW CONGRATULATIONS.

I been for scan today. Now got 20 follies on each side. I now have to go to clinic every day. There not being to negative at the mo, but it doesnt sound good to me. Or maybe im being paranoid because of ohss last time. Does anyone know the largest number they will do EC at. My meds dosage has been lowered. My follies are at a nice size but theres just so many of them. Still better than last time i had 40 on each side last time.

chait! welcome- your numbers indicate that you are BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!- btw- what is a morola?

i'm back from the blood test and waiting again.....grrrrr I stopped at "whole paycheck" and picked up some pregnancy tea, and perused the wellness aisle- but decided not to go crazy, yet.

i have a friend coming over to wait with me- she's been through a lot of the same stuff- lots of IUI and chlomid, but not IVF, went off everything ended up with a HUGE! nat baby boy in july - so we'll sit and watch some smushy tv and wait for the call- hope it's what i think it is.....

Sage- fingers crossed for a good fert report, we had 4 mature eggs and got 4 beautiful and excellent embies, so you are looking good! Sorry you don't feel good :(

Lovebug- I felt my ovaries also, quite tender. How many follies did they see or are they going by estradiol levels? Good luck and grow follies!!!

to all BFPs: There is an unofficial Oct 08 bump buddies post on the pregnant after treatment! :D

CONGRATS CHAIT and SM!!!!! I am loving all these BFP's! My first beta was today. I am 17dpo and 524!!! I dont go back till next Monday for my next beta. Strange. Then I have my ultrasound around Feb 29. Then she said they release me to a regular OB/GYN! Wow. My old doc told me 12 weeks....till they release me. I will only be 7 weeks, then. I have no idea if I need a high risk doc or not. I am 40 and have slightly high blood pressure. At this point ...I have no idea if it is multiples or not either. Are you ladies picking a high risk doc or regular? They are leaving it up to me and told me to pick one quickly!? They also told me that I have 3 blasts frozen...out of 5.

Rio: I am so glad you got the Oct 08 group started. I am so excited to continue this journey with you girls.

Sage: Sorry you dont feel good. I am praying for a great report tomorrow.

Lovebug: Sore ovaries is normal. No worries.

Dawn: That is alot of follies...but I have heard where they will do ER with there being alot more...so no worries. You will be fine.

Mia: What's up? Thinking of poas yet??? LOL

Loopie: WOOHOOO!!!!! I am sooo happy for you! Morula is a stage that the embryo goes through when dividing. I believe it is the stage right before blast.

Kildean: When do you test again? Are you gonna poas?

SM: 907! And I thought mine was high?! LOL

Marin: I am using a 22g 1.5 inches long too.
