Runner Kate-That is great news! 2-8cell embies is great, I remember your post where you were concerned about your numbers - good job keeping the PMA! I have to warn you that the wait for that 1st u/s is almost as bad as the 2WW! :shock: But you will be so excited to see your little one, we heard the HB and I cried! :D Good luck with your singleton or twinsies!!! :D
To all girls- BFP dust!

Runnerkate- That is so exciting!!! :D You give me hope since you had only 6 eggs!! Do you remember how many follicles you had before you began stims??? I am sure you over the moon with excitement, so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!

And thanks everyone for the well wishes. I hadnt read the board until today, everyone's kind words mean so much. I really think DH and I made the right decision, but am still sad to not go through this with you ladies!! Hopefully, everyone will still be around when I start back up...and everyone will have little baby bumps!!!

Courtney :)

Only a couple of more days to go before testing. In about 48 hours I should know either way what the outcome is. Getting kind of nervous. Although cramping is probably "normal" I would like to have the results for peace of mind.

CONGRATULATIONS RUNNERKATE!!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes ladies!

I just went for my second b/w and u/s and I have been stimming now for 7 days. It seems like my doctor wasn't impressed with the results. I have 12 follicles ranging in size from 11.5-4.5. She kept saying she felt like we should be getting more follicles and that the ones I had should be bigger so I am pretty upset:( They said if they don't keep growing they would have to cancel my cycle. So I am trying to stay positive but it has been really difficult today!

J&C-I know your feeling like me right now! Grow follicles grow!!
K-Bear- I guess we are going through the same thing right now. It is good to know I am not the only one with these fears:)
Keita-good luck on your b/w and u/s!
Just Jenis-Thanks so much for your words of encouragement. I can't believe they actually mentioned canceling and then you got pregers!
Sue Hu-Good luck with your trigger!
BRS888-congrats on a successful transfer!
Riogirl-It was great to hear about your story! It gives me hope!
Indierad-thanks for the updates. I am new here so this really helps!
Kbat-good luck! only a few more days!
itsgottawork-Wow! Congratulations on a successful retrieval!
RunnerKate-Congratulations to you on your BFP!! :D

I hope I didn't get any of ya'll wrong or miss anyone. I am still trying to keep track of your names and history! Thanks again for all your kind words and support:)

Jenis and kbat, hang in there girls. I'm praying for BFPs for you. I'm going nuts over whether or not my 3rd beta will have doubled tomorrow. I just POAS'd to see if a line was showing up and finally, a super faint line...but a line nonetheless. Yesterday there wasn't one so maybe that means my beta is increasing enough that I can actually consider myself pregnant...at least for now.

hugs girls...you're almost there!

I'm feeling nice and bloated today, which I hope is good news for tomorrow. Tomorrow is my next "stick and stir" first thing in the morning, and we're praying that our follies have grown. If not, they may do an IUI instead which we've never done, but I'll be disappointed in that too. DH will go with me, and he's just as freaked out as I am. I may work from home tomorrow if its bad news. Please keep your fingers crossed for us!


June - I'm so with you. Go follies go!!!!

RunnerKate - CONGRATS on the BFP!!! :D It's great to start seeing some positive pregnancies here. It gives me hope.

itsgottawork - WOW - that's a wonderful # of eggs. Keep us updated on the fertility report.

indie - Thank you for the calendar!! It's fun to see where everyone is in their cycle.

Cornybaby - I'm still praying for you!! Praying....praying....praying.

june2--hang in there. When I switched clinics, the first one w/ the new clinic they were ready to convert me to an IUI on Day 9. When I questioned it saying that w/ the first 3 cycles I usually stimulated for between 11-14 days, they ended up keeping me on IVF. I am not sure how long you have been stimming for, but perhaps you can convince them to go an extra few days. This current cycle I only had about 3-4 follicles (im a poor responder :( ), but this cycle they grew about 4 mm practically overnight. (went in and they were at about 14 and 15 and the next day they were at about 18/19.

Hang in there....

cornybaby--sending you best wishes and hoping that your beta keeps rising!!!

25 eggs on Monday, 3 embryos on Tuesday. :shock:
I am very disappointed with the numbers. I am hoping they all last until the transfer tomorrow. I don't know what the deal is. Last time I had 24 eggs and 12 fertilized so this is discouraging. I have a call in to hear back from my RE so we can discuss and I am anxiously awaiting to hear from the hospital that everything is still on for the transfer tomorrow. I don't know what time it will be at and I am getting nervous.

In the mean time, I love hearing about the BFPs and look forward to hearing about more!

Good luck everyone!
