Wow! Thanks Riogirl for keeping the list up to date. It is crazy that we have had so many BFP's! I hope to be on that list in a few weeks!

Aims- It sounds like we are on the same schedule! I am having my ET tomorrow at 8:30. How many are you transfering? I am hoping to do 3 (fingers crossed that embies are growing well). I am nervous!

Sage - I am only transferring 2. I am nervous as well. I hope they stick! Are they having you take valium tomorrow before the transfer? I have to but I'm not sure why. I guess they want me really relaxed!

Aimes- I have to take a valium too. I wish that I didn't...my dh can't come with me tomorrow and I have to drive 2 1/2 hrs!!! So my SIL has to come with me. I would have been fine going alone had it not been for the valium. Also, I need to talk to RE and I am concerned that the valium will make me loopy!

Don't have any time but wanted to let you know that I decided for sure to wait until tomorrow after the b/w to POAS!! I can make it just a few more hours :) The cramping is worrying me - but hooping it is uterus stretching - will be on later :)

Hi everyone. We had our retrieval today and we got 18 eggs. Wohoo. My 1st ivf cycle my previous dr got 9 eggs and my last fresh cycle they got 11 and now 18. Yippeee. We are doing icsi and we will find out tomorrow how many fertilized. We are hoping to do a blast transfer and transfer 3 next tuesday. I am so bloated!

Congrats on all the bfp's

Sage, Aimes, Kerpupples

I think we are all on the same schedule for ET tomorrow. I go in at noon for a 5 day transfer. We are trying to decide how many to do. I am scared to do 3 cause I cant handle 3 at once! Scared to do 2 cause what if one splits and we get 3 anyway! Scared to do only 1 cause what if that 1 doesnt work! Havent decided....

What are you guys going to do?

Wow, the BFPs are contagious! (I hope!)

Marin,

Hi good luck tomorrow!

We are transferring 3 (I hope-don't know how they have progressed since day 1). We only have 3 that fertilized from the 6 eggs that we got. So we are doing a day 3 transfer and I am a gambler...I would be thrilled with twins and to never have to go through this again!

Marin Just my 2 cents because I thought about it a lot....and then I didn't have to. It depends what the quality is. If you have 2 great ones at 5 days, I'd do two, not one because you're not in your 20's. If they're ok, not great, maybe 3...but I know it's scary. You have to go with what you feel. You'll have a good idea though, because it's 5 days.

Rin - good to see you here and glad you are taking good care of yourself!
Suga- U/S coming up soon for us, I can't wait!
Katie- congrats on your little bean! I wish I could see mine!
Sage- I am a gambling woman also so I think your 3 are a very good bet! Good luck and keep us posted!
Marin- Sage is right it is such a gamble, some people put 4 in and get one, some people put 2 in and get 2 so it really depends on the quality of the embryos, we had decided on 3 but then we had a 5 cell one and we decided to give him/her a chance so we did 4! on 3dt!
Jomae- don't POAS! I know you are tempted but don't do it! It is so much better to know for sure then to overanalize your HPT!
Mia- I am proud of you but I would still wait for the confirmation from beta instead of POAS sooner! Don't worry I had cramps too!
doddo- great eggs! let us know the fert report - good luck!
aims- the valium is so low that it just leaves you melow, not sleepy!

For girls going to ET - get your embie pics!!!

BABY DUST!!!

RioGirl- I am glad that the valium is low dosage. I might write out my questions for the RE so that I don't forget anything due to the meds.

Do they always give you pics of the embies? I really hope so!
