OMG Donnell,
Congrats on your BFP!!! I am sooooo happy for you. Please keep in touch. My email address is coolmomincanton@msn.com

Thank you for thinking of me. I hope I am next. Last April I got pregnant. So, Maybe this April will be the same without the miscarriage.

Maybe our 6th time will be the charm.

Tammy,
Can you have your friend contact me, maybe we can be cycle buddies.

Thank you,

Donna
8th IVF Cycle, BFP

Morning all!

I'm on the Feb/March board and came looking for some wisdom. I had my 5day blast transfer on 2/26 and have been a tad crampy off and on and last night I woke up with cramps and couldn't sleep on my belly. Which is where I usually like to sleep. Also, NOTHING taste good. I'm hungry but it either makes me sick to my tummy or just have no taste at all.

Just wanted to know if any of this is familiar to any of you? I test on March 6th.. seems like SOOOO far away LOL!

Thanks guys!

Hi Jenis - It is normal to feel cramps and uncomfortable. I was really sowllen from stimms so my belly was big even before my BFP! You are taking PIO shots right? Those made me a little moody and also gives you pregnancy symptoms. I couldn't eat much and I couldn't even eat things I loved. Don't worry about any of those symptoms, even a small amount of bleeding is ok, but call your RE if it is with painful cramps and red blood. I know the 2WW is a killer! I am sorry to tell you that the 2WW is just the start! Then it is the 2WW for your ultrasound, then the next step. You never stop worrying!!! :shock: :shock: Good luck and baby dust for your BFP!!!!

hey Rio! Been laying low for a couple of days. Lost my PMA yesterday, but I have it back now. :D Was so bloated on Monday/Tues that I couldn't get comfortable, but that has gone away and now I am just fighting off a cold. My RE is evil and doesn't give the results of beta until the 2nd one, so my first one is this Saturday...just 2 days! Still no POAS for me. Luckily DH has been home every night so I haven't been tempted. He won't be home Sunday night, which is the only time I'm worried I'll cave. I think I'm going to go see a movie or something so I am out of the house and not tempted. I've been wanting to see 27 Dresses...that sounds like a good chick flick to go see solo. Thanks so much for your support and checking in on us. I've been reading up on all of you over on the Oct Mommies to Be thread. I can't wait to be posting on that side too!

Corny- Stay strong and don't POAS!!! My Re did the same thing to me, didn't tel me until the second beta. At the same time that the wait is a killer, you know if your beta doubled or stayed the same or decreased, so it is great to have that extra layer of certainty! Keep the PMA and stay busy!!

Love - I updated the list! I need your BFP and Corny's now :D Don't POAS!!!!! It is much better to know for sure and not second guess everything!!!

Hey Rio, sorry I disappeared for so long! I decided not to agonize over it the way I did last time and I've been away from the boards.

Details:

2/12 ER - 18 mature eggs retrieved
2/15 ET - 3 embryos xfered (10 cell, 8 cell, 6 cell), 9 frozen
2/26 1st Beta - BFP!!! Hormone level 144

I have my second beta tomorrow.

I had acupuncture done this time and I think that may have helped.

Thanks RIO!!! It's so nice to see all those BFP infront of me :D
On a sadder note, I feel like I am having period cramps :cry: . I do remember reading that a lot of women thought they were getting AF, and they ended up getting BFP!

Monday can not come soon enough!!

I caved and POAS...it was BFN. I was having cramps like my period all eavning last night, but now they are gone. I am sad :(

I am not going to do it again, and just wait for the BETA on Monday. This is my first IVF, but between everything and the OHSS, I feel totally bumbed right now my DH and I have to go out to lunch with my boss and her DH. Sucks. I just want to climb into bed and have a good mental breakdown :?

Oh well....we'll see on Monday.

Love- Sorry to hear about the POAS, but those things can be evil. Please try and keep just a little PMA because it is not over yet, you could have tested too soon. I understand you are anxious but wait for your beta... there are plenty of false negatives, AF hasn't come yet, right?
