Hi all!!!!

I just wanted to wish everyone luck that was coming up on their 2ww. The hardest is the last few days. But stay strong and remember, some things you can't control.

*HUGS* Kimbers.. You stay strong and don't give up. I'm holding your spot in the Big Belly Club

Hi Jen,

We only had 2 to transfer.. and they were little weaklings at only 4 and 6 cells

So, we shall see.. I, surprisingly, am feeling rather calm (very unlike me

and patient the last couple of days. On the other hand, risking sounding negative, I really don't think it worked for us this time around. And for some strange reason, I feel OK with this now.. I am just relieved to have my normal everyday life back.. to not have to be going to the Clinic every day to be 'Stick&Stir'-red. It's a nice break.
Naturally, I will be prepared to redo this all. I just feel so good to not be all hormonal, for a change.

Jen - is this also your 1st IVF?

Hey Everyone,

I remember reading all the posts weeks ago about how horrible the 2ww is, and you guys were right! THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! Yesterday, I was totally depressed, because my body felt "normal" and I was certain that we weren't pregnant. Today I've talked to several friends (1 of those has a beautiful daughter from IVF) and all of them said they didn't feel pregnant, or felt anything for that matter, this early on.

I've seen other posts were people either just "knew" they were pregnant or they had m/s, and I've had neither. Anyway, I'm feeling better today with at least a little PMA. My test is on Sunday.

Luckily, DH has been SUPER positive, so I'm trying to lean on that.

Sticky baby dust to all!

Jill and Mrs. G - Good luck with your transfers today!!! I wish you lots of sticky vibes!!!

J&C - The 2ww is horrible, and the worst part is, it doesn't get any better! I go in for my test in 45.5 hours. Yup, I am counting hours. That is how bad it gets! I can't wait for Friday and I know that when I leave that dr's office, it is only going to be worse until I get the phone call. Good luck staying positive. I hope Sunday comes here soon!

Good luck Sue Hu and Jen8675309! I hope you have a good weekend in spite of the wait.

The wait is getting to be TOO much!

Good luck to everyone!

Hi Girls ~

I caved this morning. I POAS and got a positive! I am cautiously optimistic because I hope it's not too soon. I triggered 14 days ago, e/r 12 days ago and e/t 9 days ago. Do you think it is an accurate positive??? All along I have not had many doubts about being preg, I definately feel like I've never felt before (twinges, hearburn, feels like my crotch is falling out, etc) I am anxious to hear your feedback.....

Sue ~ Yes, this is my first IVF. In fact, it's my first fertility treatment of any kind. They went straight to IVF because of DH sperm (low count and motil). Are you going to POAS before Monday? You never know, those little beans may surprise you at how strong they are!

Itsgottawork ~ When is your beta? Are you going to POAS?

Good luck to Jill and Mrs. G on e/t today! Welcome to the 2WW!!

Lots of baby dust to all!

well jen.. I'd say CONGRATS!!! That's plenty of time for the trigger to get out of your system. My clinic does Beta on 10dpt.. and you tested on 9... I'd say you are smooth sailing girl!!!!

NO RELAX!! I can't say that enough. The more we doubt, the more we stress.. the harder it is on our lil ones.

*HUGS* WTG!!!!

jen8675309 - Heck yeah I am going to POAS! I actually have been every day this week!

I did a digital the first day so there would be no debate. It said "pregnant" and yesterday and today I did the line test and saw a line each day. I am sure to buy another one tonight for tomorrow morning and might skip Friday as I will go in Friday morning around 7 for my beta test.

I would definitely say you are pregnant. I read on peeonastick.com that the tests can't tell you how pregnant you are, only that you are pregant. You are pregnant! Yahoo!

From what I know (which isn't a ton) the trigger only lasts 12 days so you are definitely in the clear! Enjoy this time! The 24th will be here soon!

Hello Ladies...

I had my retrieval today (not transfer) and they got 12 eggs

I am feeling good about this and hoping to have better quality this time. Well, I will know more tomorrow after fert report.

Good Luck Mrs G today - stick, embabies stick

Take care all!!!

Jen - I forgot to answer the POAS question. Yes, we will test, probably on Sunday.. just so the news is not a total shock when the nurse calls the next day.

Good luck Jill_n_Mark on fert report!!

Girl, You're my "hero" LOL I'm happy for you and congrats! I did a trf of 3 day 8 celled embies. We trf 2. So, that makes me feel better. I know everyone is different and other things can happen, but I see a lot of 5 day transfers rather than 3 day. So, good luck.

Hey Everyone - Today my PMA is up, so I'll take that anyday. I'm in a training class this week, and so far, it's turned from a full day of training into a 1/2 day of training each day. I've been working from home the rest of the day, and I'm just thanking God for the extra time to nap and relax. I'll take that any time that I can get it!

My beta is on Sunday!

itsgottawork - I totally understand the countdown. Let us know when you get that BFP!!

jen - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Your beta is the day after mine....also can't wait to see the beta confirmation!!

Jill_n_Mark - 12 eggs is GREAT!! Let us know how the fert. report turns out. Go embies go!!!!

jen8675309 · Post by **jen8675309** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 1:28 am

Hi Girls!

Hope everyone had a great Wednesday and had plenty of PMA!

Keita ~ Thanks for the congrats! When do you have beta? I am positive that you will have one or two beans stick! Go babies go!!

Sue Hu ~ How are you doing? PMA?

Jenis ~ Thanks! I hope things keep going like they are!! When you were in your 2WW, did you get twinges and occasional stabbing pains in an ovary area? I know cramping is normal, but wasn't sure about these occasional stabbing pains.

Itsgottawork ~ Congrats on your positive HPTs!!! That is so awesome! Can't wait to hear your beta on Fri.!

Jill ~ Hope you are resting well and not in too much pain from e/r. Anxious to hear about your fert report. Did you do ICSI?

Mrs. G ~ How did e/t go?

Now I need to watch Idol.....

Have a great evening everyone!

CONGRATS Jen & Itsgottawork!!!!

Jen - thx for asking. I am trying my best to keep PMA. I have also felt some twinges and tiny stabs of pain and some slight sensations in my ovaries... who knows!

GL to everyone!
Sue

JustJenis · Post by **JustJenis** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 2:53 am

Jen -- I STILL get them. Not as much as I did.. but I still get the cramps that come and go and the sharp pain.
I can't WAIT to get off these PIO shots!! That's my new countdown.
