Aims: Aww a vday baby :) Wow 13 fertilized that is great!

Tammy: not yet.. but I can't guarantee tomorrow will be POAS free day!

Kildean: Girl so much for keeping me strong :) CONGRATS!!!! Test again tomorrow and see if the line is darker. it should get darker every day from what I have read if you test early!! I am soooo happy for you! Praise God!!!

Suga: Glad you are doing ok - and glad you feel some signs of pregnancy - that is always comforting :)

Kimbers: I did BCP in the morning, and then Lupron at night. Every RE has different preferences.

I had a busy evening. My sis forgot to pick up my nephew at daycare so they called me and then we were worried about sis, and then we hear from her and she forgot her dh had asked her to pick him up!!! She felt like a horrible mother, and of course I had to make fun of her a bit!

Ok girls one more day of waiting left for me!!! Now that Kildean failed me :) Iam not sure if I can be strong...

HOLY COW LADIES!!! I can't believe all the BFPs! You all are defying the odds and I love it! Congratulations to all of you. I've been lying low for a while, and on the road for work. Last week in St. Louis and now in AZ, but I finally have a chance to check in. Anyway, just wanted to say congrats to all of you who got your BFPs and for those of you still waiting or stimming...sticky baby dust to you all! A quick update on me...I started stimming on the 7th and my first u/s to count the follies is the 14th. I'm hoping for ER on the 18th or 20th. :D Fingers crossed for lots of follies this time! Last time I only ended up with 5. Again...congrats to all of the BFPs. What a great way to start out the new year! :wink:

are you girls with BFPs telling people already or waiting a while?? We told our parents and I told one lady at work. I think we'll wait a bit longer to tell everyone else, but I wanna tell the world now!! :)

Hi Ladies,

Firstly many congrats to Kildean on your BFP also to all you others who have had your betas confirmed.

JCW- hang in there, praying for good news.

Well I have bad news, my worst nightmare happened and none of my 2 frosties were good to go back in. Both survived the thaw but did not develop over night so et was cancelled. We are going to carry on but not until after May as we have a big family holiday in Spain. We are going to look forward to that and start again in the summer.

I really hope the rest of the 2ww people get the bfp's and you all go on to have happy healthy babies

Ems - so sorry for you, that's awful. I hope you have a really good holiday in Spain. Perhaps the break will make you feel a little better and all set to go for May. Fingers crossed it will be the one for you!

Good Luck

Aims- what a great fertlity report!!! :D You will be joining all of us BFP's before you know it.

Kim- I took bcp whenever and did lupron at night because I was having DH give them to me.

Suga- My first u/s is 2/26. So I'm a week and a day behind you.

Kildean- way to go. 8) When is the official test date?

EMS - I'm very sorry to read about your embies. Take care of yourself and hopefully May will bring you all the joy you deserve!!!

Bat- DH is telling everyone. I'm not too happy with that. But he's so excited, I decided to let him do. We are NOT however telling his kids. Once they and the evil ex find out it will be very very bad for me. I can only expect the worst harrassment of my life.

Well, I'm going back to lay down. I can't sit for very long. I feel so tight. Especially right below my sternum.....rrrrr....

Weezie: I would n't tell the skids until you can't hide it - you know? Then change your number, so the ex has only your dh's number and tell dh not to tell you what she says or when she calls. Do not let her harass you!

Ems: I am so sorry to hear about your embies :( I know this is tough and to be told right before ET. Some time off sounds good ( I obsess a bit much when doing tmts) Hope you get some rest and prepare your body and mind for a successful summer IVF!

jcw: How is the 2ww treating you???

21bat: I have been having cramps since yesterday - on and off - but they feel more like AF cramps... I might test today - I mean I am 15dpER, so I think it would be accurate. We'll see. 24 more hours is really not that much longer to wait...

Well I have had AF cramps throughout the night still peeing a lot, but I am staying positive- THIS WILL BE MY TIME!! I ordered the Dad=to=Be tshirt hope it comes in tomorrow and I will wrap it up and give it to dh. I think I will set the camera so it is filming his reaction :) PMA PMA PMA!!! I am so glad I started this lucky board!! LOL!!

Hi Runner Kate,

I had only 6 mature follicles/eggs retrieved on Monday. I am having ET of the 3 embies that made it. I am glad that I kept going. I had planned on transferring 3 in the first place, just don't get the benefit of having extras...

I've read this everyday since I started this whole process, but have only posted a couple of times.
I went in yesterday for my Beta, and got a 351!! My husband and I are beside ourselves and to be honest, in total shock still!
Anyone have any insight on what the beta numbers mean? At what point, do you think its twins!
I think we set a record with BFPs this month!
Congrats to everyone and baby dust to all!

Thanks for everyone's support. I have ET tomorrow at 8am. I am still having cramping from ER. I am not sure if this is normal or not.

Congratulations to everyone with BFP! I hope to join you with the good news in a couple weeks.

RunnerKate- don't cancel it! It only takes 1!

Kildean and stephanieJ:

Mia - one more day! Don't POAS! Stay strong it is worth it! There is nothing like knowing for sure and not second guessing it! When I POAS after getting my 600 beta the line wasn't even that dark, had I POAS before my betas I would have second guessed any result, listen to batty!
EMS - I am so sorry about your frosties, my heart aches, I wish you much baby dust for your next cycle! Enjoy time with family! Then it will be your BFP!
bat we only told parents and our bosses who knew about IVF, everyone else will have to wait! I used the calculator on this site and it matched what my RE said my due date was. Weird to think you have been preggers longer than you have had your embies :shock:
corny keep us posted! Praying for lots of healthy follies! Keep us posted, we want you on our list of BFPs!!!!
aims - great fert report! how many are you transfering?
weezie - how you feeling momma?
Tammy got the list updated, I try to keep the last posted list updated by always editing, the trick is remembering the page I posted in! How are you feeling?
Me still a little moody with anyone other than DH or the babies (our dogs). I don't have nausea but I do get dizzy, still keep looking for symptoms :oops: like fondling my boobs to make sure my nipples are still sore :oops: :lol: Any of you girls on Crinone? Counting down the 30 days of PIO still left. I am very excited about the u/s! I cannot wait and I hope I can see a heartbeat since we wil be 6 weeks and 3 days (hoping for 2 heartbeats!). I think it is one, DH thinks twins and my mom thinks more - ouch! I wish that the meds weren't messing with my body so much so that I could just feel pregnant! :D
