Feb/Mar 08 Cycle Buddies

[cornybaby]

Jenis - the betas were 9 and 11 dp3dt. Makes sense that it didn't show up on the HPT since it was below 25. We're staying positive...but also realistic. We just walked to the store to buy more HPTs. I just have to see one with 2 lines on it. I'll do one in the morning to see if the line shows up and gets darker.

[JustJenis]

Corny.. I'm not saying this just to make you feel better.. although I hope it does. BUT I've read ALOT on the boards and seems those that test early on.. have very low betas that grow. Ya know?

You pee till your heart is content!! *HUGS*

[IrishHope]

Cornybaby - whoa! it ain't over yet babes!! oohI hope so badly you see 2 big fat hot pink lines tomorrow morning!! keep us posted!

[J&C]

cornybaby - What a roller coaster! I am saying a prayer for you tonight. Praying for that little bean to stay stuck!!

kbear - I totally understand. I'm happy for others, but I am SOOOOO ready for it to be my turn. My sister is expecting baby #2 next month, and that's just nearly killing me. She's also very selfish, which doesn't help matters. Even though I love her, sometimes I just want to smack her.

I too am so glad to have found this message board. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have this message board to learn from and to vent on now and then. Thanks to everyone for the support!!

My massage tonight was heaven. We keep praying for the follies to grow!

[RunnerKate]

Cornybaby...try to keep hopeful! It's still a good sign that you can GET pregnant!

I posted this on the 2 ww, so you might see this twice (IrishHope, etc.), but last night/yesterday/8 hours ago I caved. I haven't slept a wink all night.

I took a HPT and.....got 2 lines. I am cautiously optomistic.

It is 15 days past egg retrieval, 12 days past embryo transfer, and 17 days since my HCG shot. Do you think any of these hormones could be messing with the result?

I need to be asleep...not posting on-line at 4 am?!!!

[JustJenis]

Kate...

I would seriously be jumping for joy. That isn't the hcg shot my dear. It's well past that. Think about it.. it's 12 dpt!!!!! That's GREAT!!


*HUGS* Grats girl!! Stop second guessing it.

[RunnerKate]

I just took another one this morning....the line was darker this time. My hubby refuses to look at them until we get the beta.

(inner screaming of yeah!!)

Hi Everyone!
RunnerKate - this is excellent news!!! Congratulations!!! As IrishHope said, I'd definitely be jumping for joy too!

CornyBaby - I am so sorry to hear you are going through so many ups and downs! I do hope it all works out for you and your beta numbers continue to grow!

kimbers - I hope your retrieval went well too yesterday!

JustJenis - I love your attitude! I read your message just before I left for the ER and it put me in such a great mindset! Thanks so much!

kbear4211 - I LOVE all your pics/fonts/special designs! These cycles are definitely a rollar coaster! Hang in there. Soon it WILL be your turn.

june2 - Welcome to the site. Good luck with your stimming!

keita1981 - That is horrible about that other doc. It is so frustrating!!! I hope all goes well with your Friday appointment and that this is your cycle!
Good luck with your stims too!

J&C - Good luck with your stims too!!! I hope your follicles continue to grow nice and strong! And, I am glad you enjoyed your massage!

Brandy - Congrats on your transfer! I don't know much about cell count but am hoping this works for you!

Sue Hu - I hope you get your trigger date soon!

Thanks for all your well wishes for the ER. It went very well. They said there were only 15 follicles but then the embryologist came out and said we had 25 eggs! I won't know until today how many were mature and if they fertilized or not but I am feeling pretty optimistic.
I am still a little crampy and definitely bloated but overall I feel much better than last time!

Babydust to all! I can't wait to hear about more BFPs! I won't get to test until 3/21 now. I am SO looking forward to Easter!

[kbear4211]

RUNNER KATE:



Your HCG shot should be out of your system completely, this is definitely a BFP!!!

I am so happy for you.

[RunnerKate]

Thanks so much kbear4211, itsgottawork, and Just Jenis...I hope it is true!

Everyone else! Keep up the PMA!

[cornybaby]

Runnerkate...congratulations! How exciting! When do you test? Is it tomorrow?

I POAS'd again and it's still negative. I'm starting to think either I have defective pee or they read someone else's results to me on the phone. Nonetheless, we're still hoping for a miracle doubling of the beta tomorrow. We need a 46! That's not much to ask for, right???

hugs and babydust....

[RunnerKate]

Cornybaby--when did you do the ER/ET? Maybe the home pregnancy tests aren't sensitive enough?

[brs888]

I will definitely keep you in my prayers, CornyBaby! I am sure this in between stage is pretty tough for you, but hang in there.

RunnerKate, I don't even know you, and I have tears in my eyes (I'll blame it on all of these hormones!) Congratulations and enjoy every minute of it!

Brandy

[indie_rad]

Kate - congratulations!! This is so awesome. I am so happy for you

Cornybaby - I am so happy to see that your blood test was +ve. Maybe the HPT wasn't sensitive enough. I will be praying for your beta numbers to keep doubling.

itsgottawork - 25 eggs.. thats a great number.. hoping for a great fert report for you. How you feeling after ER? Give yourself as much rest as you can. When is ET?

Good luck to all the stimmers.. hoping for lots of follies for all. I will try to post an updated calender later today to capture where everyone is at.

Have a great day ladies.

Runner Kate - congrats on your BFP! how many embies did you transfer?

Here is a site that tells you the sensitivity of all HPTs:

Corny- some don't pick up Hcg levels until 50!!! So you might be peeing on the wrong stick PMA!!!
