Beth,

Thanks. I needed that because sooo many thoughts are going thru my head right now. I'll shoot a prayer up for your beta tomorrow.

God Bless!!!!!!!

Beth,

How did your test go?

Joanie,
How did the thaw go yesterday?? Did you get to transfer 5?

Thinking of you both and sending my love to you guys!

Allison,

We transferred 4 instead of 5. First they unthawed 5 and 3 survived then they did 2 more and 1 survived, so in total they had 4. It was uneventful. The doctor said that they looked good. I guess we will see. My pregnancy test is next week Wednesday.

The triplets are getting big. How are they doing?

Joanie,
I didn't get a pm from you.
I pm'd you again, but I don't think it went thru? Not sure why :?

I have been thinking of you...glad you got your 4 in! Now they need to settle in nice and comfy! :) I hope you are taking it easy!
Is it Wednesday the 27th?

Allison,
Unfortunately my test came out negative. Not a big surprise to me, but still a little harder to deal with than I thought. Thanks for asking.

Beth,
I am so sorry honey. Even when I knew (I always took HPTs before the blood test) it still was so hard. I had 3 of them so I know the pain. Take care of yourself and I hope you get to try again someday when the time is right.

Joanie,
This last FET we took out 3 and the biggest, a 5AA is the one that did not survive, so they took out another one that wasn't as big. I guess that big one wasn't meant to be as these 3 were! I can't wait to hear your news! Take it easy, don't stress and let us know if you cheat and take a HPT! ;)

The triplets are doing great, keeping me up all hours of the night but I love them so much! Being a mommy is the hardest thing I have ever done but I am loving it!

Beth,

I am going to pm you again and see if it works for me. It says that I have no new messages maybe that part of the system is having a problem.
I know this is hard and we always wonder why are we going through this. Sometimes when people ask me when I am having children I tell them that I am not ready. And I know that once I have one child they are going to ask when am I having the 2nd one. It never ends. All we can do is keep moving and trying. Try to stay positive but it is okay to be negative and throw a little fit sometimes too.




Allison,

Did you feel symptoms during your 2ww (last FET)?

Hey Joanie,
How are you feeling?
I'm still hoping for your BFP! Are you keeping yourself busy or obsessing about your test day?? I hope you are relaxing. (and munching the pineapple)

no pm's yet. the ones I sent sat in my Outbox for a few days, but now they say 'sent'.
Not sure what's up with the system.

I totally understand about the comments. I got so many "when are you going to have a baby??" I wanted to scream. Now, it's when are you going to have another? My mom and dad in laws are the worst! She kind of dumb and doesn't really understand IVF, so we haven't really told either of them much. I know that sounds cruel to call her dumb, but believe me, that's putting it mildly. :wink:

oh, and Allison,
Thank you very much for your support. Even early on when I started this thread. You have been very kind and postive.
We will start again. DH wants to start right away, and me, I would rather take a few months off and just enjoy DD for a while.

Hi ladies
just wanted to pop in and give you all some more hope. We did FET and had a blighted ovum in the Summer which was very traumatic, so I feel for all of you going through negatives or early m/c, its heart breaking. I had little hope for our FET in December and was already planning another fresh DE cycle while on the 2ww. Well we transferred 4 and here I am 12 weeks pregnancy with, so far , and please God, healthy triplets! (full of faith you are now my new heroine!)

so you can really believe it works, it really does.

hugs and strength to all of you

Beth,

I am resting so much that I just had to get in the truck yesterday and ride around the neighborhood for 15 minutes oh and I also went to Subway. This morning I went to McDonald's for breakfast which I never do but I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I have been eating a cup of pineapple/day and yesterday I had a cup and juiced a cup. I ran out of pineapple so when dh gets off I am going to have him pick me some up so I can have my cup 2nite.

Oh and I have a bruise (and it hurts some) on my hip from these shots. I am also plotting out when to take my hpt. I don't want to take it too soon. Last time I took it the day before beta because I didn't want any surprises.

Otherwise, I feel no symptoms whatsoever. Last time I was sooo drugged up.

Oh, I totally understand your mother-in-law comment. There are people in my family I feel the same way about.

Joanie,

Yes my boobs hurt bad even the day of my Beta so I had a good feeling. All my other cycles my boobs stopped hurting days before the test. Can't wait to hear your news! I bet if you took a HPT the day before or the morning of you would be fine. I didnt take one this last cycle and I did every other time so I have actually never seen a +ive HPT! HAHA

Taylor,

congrats on the triplets!! Do you post on the triplet connection site? I am on there all the time. There are so many ladies who can help you answer all the questions I am sure you have! And you can ask me anything anytime!

My email is allisonlezon@yahoo.com

Good luck!!

Hey Beth,

I haven't POAS, although I wanted to this morning and am thinking about buying an hpt at lunch. I don't really have any symptoms except on Saturday and Sunday some cramping oh and breast are slightly tender but I am sure that is from progesterone. I don't know. Sometimes I feel hopeful and other times I don't.
