RBJean ...It may or may not be too early on Sunday. I would wait till Monday or Tues. Good Luck!!! :D

I dont have time for personals. I have been pretty short of breath and having heart beat really loud in my head and bad headaches and heartburn. I called the doc...he wants me to go to the emergency room. I will catch up with you all later.

Tammy- I hope you feel better soon!

RBJean- You may get a faint+ on Sunday, but don't be discouraged if you get a BFN, it could be too early. I know I am going to POAS at least a few days early. DH is away a lot and want to give him the good news in person!!

Hi everyone!!
So sorry i haven't been on much lately! I haven't been feeling so good :( morning sickness is starting I think.
I got my second Beta yesterday and it was 187, so they're happy with that. My next blood test to see if they can lower my meds is on Tuesday and my first u/s at 6.5 weeks is 2/29!! Very excited for that!

Tammy - So sorry to hear you're feeling bad. I hope you feel better soon!! Take care of yourself! Keep us posted.

Mia - Congrats on the official BFP! So you did POAS?? :) Tell us the story of how DH reacted? Hope you had a wonderful v-day. Next year will be very different with a baby in the family :)
I'll have to join the pregnancy board with you and rio now!

Congrats to all the other BFPs!!!

RBJean - don't POAS - that's my advice :) I did it 6dp5dt and it was negative and abot an hour later a very faint line showed up. so i was back at square one not knowing whether i as pregnant or not. It was torture!!

Lovebug - we did a day 5 transfer with 1 blast. Day 5 transfer is supposed to be better because it's at the blast stage, but day 3 can be just as successful
Me - 24; DH - 26,

SO... DH came home on Thursday and was really pissed b/c right before he left his manager started all this crap (dh just filed a complaint today with EEOC due to discrimination). So he was so angry but said he was trying to not let it ruin our vday celebration... SO I said well I have a gift for you maybe it will make you feel better. He opened it and saw the shirt and like I thought he didn't get he laughed then he picked it up and underneath the shirt was my pee stick, it took him a while and then he just laughed and said where did you get this. I was like it is real. He says no its not - and it took me about 3 minutes to convince him I am pg! Then he was just in so much shock he didn't react at all. SO I was a bit bummed b/c I expected something bigger - So we decided we needed to go and celebrate and we went to The Melting Pot - fondue place (w/o reservations) and they said if we wanted to wait an hour and a half they could get us a table - so we sat at the bar. Then when we started eating I think it started to sink in and he started kinda tearing up as he was saying a toast to me. :) We are still really not believing it. But dh started talking about which room we would use for the nursery and he is really excited - it just took a bit to sink in!! I got to tell our good friend tonight (we decided to just tell her for a while) and she was soooo excited and it felt really good to telll someone and talk about it!!

I am swamped trying to prepare for my classes tomorrow - so I can't do personals. I will try to get on tomorrow.

JCW - so sorry to hear your news, good luck for the future though. I am thinking of you

Jomae - congratulations! So pleased for you!

Riogirl - for the stats - I am going for my blood test on fri 22/02
I daren't use a stick, I have looked at so many negatives over the past couple of years I don't trust it.

Love bug - I did a 5 day transfer but they only transferred 1. They couldn't decide which of my 4 embies was the best to transfer so they decided to wait a couple more days - as it was one didn't make it.


Sage/Marin - I have been so bored just lying around. My doctor said I could just go about my daily life but I read somewhere about resting so decided it couldn't hurt.
Don't mind missing out on the housework tho!

Good luck to everyone

Hi all...not much time to post as we have tons of errands to run and it's DHs only day off, but I wanted to give an update. I had my u/s this morning and confirmed my ER for Monday. Yay! 6 follies...3 on each side, measuring 17-21mm. Hard to believe that I was the 2nd person to post on this thread and yet I am bringing up the rear! Oh well...I guess your body is just ready when it's ready. Anyway, I'll be PUPO on Monday and I can't wait. I just feel so good about this cycle and I know it is finally my turn. It just has to be!

Congrats to everyone with BFPs...and for those that got disappointed this time around...hang in there. You're angels are just trying to figure out their timing. :D Have a great weekend everyone...

hugs...

Hi Ladies...I was having short of breath problems and the doc told me to go to the emergency room last night...so we did. They couldnt really find anything wrong and my beta at 18dp3dt was 1806. The IVF doc told the hospital to send me home and have me come the clinic in the morning for an ultrasound to look for fluid. They found no fluid....but did see one sac already and with my high beta numbers and with it being really early for an ultrasound they said that it is still possible another sac will still form. I am sooo excited that we got to see at least 1 bean today. The doc said that if it is just one that it will be very healthy and strong due to the beta numbers and already showing up on ultrasound at 5 weeks 1 day pregnant! I go back on Wed Feb 27th for another ultrasound and then I will be released to my high risk OB/GYN doc. I dont have to go back on Monday now for another beta...I am done with those. Yayyy!!! As far as the short of breath problems ...it may just be because I am soo bloated. He wanted me to go back to the emergency room and have them run more tests....but I am gonna wait to see a heart specialist on Monday that I know...and see what he says. Just to be on the safe side. I have a baby to worry about now. :D

Tammy-What a relief - and you got an early pic of your little bean! Congrats!
Mia- Your DH probably had so many emotions on v-day that it took him some time to snap to it! Glad you had a great evening, sorry work is stressful for him right now.

Cornybaby: We are on the same schedule! :D :D I have my ER on Monday too!! You sound like you have more specifics that I do, all I know is that because of my PCOS I have a lot of big follies, which is good.

Please post on Monday if you can, and let me know how you are doing. We can be 2ww buddies, and keep each other sane! :0) Do you know if they are thinking about a 5 day or a 3 day ET?

Mia: Men never react the way we want them too, but I love the melting pot! At least you were able to make a night of it. :lol:
