KIMBERS: I am so sorry for your sad news. Your positive attitude is great. I am glad that you will be ready for a second try. Image

JILL N MARK: Congrats on 12 eggs, that is great. We are all praying for a great fertilization report. Image

ITSGOTTAWORK & KEITA: Image

SUE HU: I know what you mean about twinges and little pains, I have never been so aware of my ovaries and uterus before. Image

J&C: I feel you on the 2ww being horrible. Are you going to POAS? Image

MRS G: Congrats on your transfer: I wish you: Image

RUNNERKATE: How are things going, we: Image


I talked to my RN yesterday, and my one remaining embryo that we did not transfer is still going strong. They will decide today or tomorrow if it will be frozen or not. This one was the weakest, so that makes me hopeful that the ones in me are just as strong. I wish I could take a nap and wake up on BETA day!!! Image

OK..got the fert report. Out of the 12 eggs retrieved, we have 8 embryos!! :P :P :P They will let me know tomorrow for certain if we will do 3dt (Sat) or 5dt (Mon). Please keep my embabies in your prayers. I pray they all continue to grow and divide normally. I really am being positive this time, but just in case....I would like to have some to freeze.

OK..will update tomorrow as I know more.

Take care everyone!

Hi Girls ~

Jill ~ 8 is wonderful!!! How many will you transfer? You will surely have many embabies to freeze! I will certainly say a prayer for your little babies!

Kbear ~ How is your one remaining embryo? Hope they are staying strong!

Jenis ~ Thanks for letting me know that you are still experiencing cramps/pains. That really eases my mind!!! I spoke to my nurse today and she also told me that those pains are normal. She said it might be my ovaries/follicles twisting. She said when those stabbing pains happen again to change positions, that maybe something is twisted. She also told me that I was probably doing too much. Today I rested more and feel A LOT better!

Sue ~ How are you doing today?

J&C ~ Our betas are so close together! Will you POAS? Good luck!

Mrs. G ~ Are you getting lots of rest? Hopefully you are feeling better today.

Keita ~ Hey Girl! Glad to hear you are doing good!

Take care everyone!!

Hey Girlies - My PMA is up again today, really not much new here. I told a friend today that I feel like a sitting duck - the embies have either attached and are doing well, or I'm waiting around (and doing these lovely PIO shots) for nothing. What else can a girl do? LOL.

I wish I could figure out all of the pretty banners and pictures. They're very pretty and encouraging!! Thanks to everyone that knows how to include those in their posts.


kbear and jen - I've decided that I'm going to POAS Saturday morning. I broke down and bought a HPT today, so there is one in the house!! :shock: My beta is on Sunday, but I think I'd rather at least potentially know beforehand. SCARY STUFF!!

Jill_n_Mark - GREAT news on the 8 embies. Grow embies grow!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D 8 smilies for 8 healthy, growing like they're suppose to, embies!!

SORRY KEITA, I got mixed up. I know your BFP IS COMING SOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Image

JEN: Image


I got the call yesterday, my one remaining embryo made it to blastocyst and is now frozen. More than anything, I am even more confident about the ones they transferred being strong, as this one was the weakest. Now, I just have to pray that at least one of those "Embies" is stubborn enough to stick around. I have been calmer this 2ww so far. I can't guarantee it will continue, but so far, so good. I still have sore breasts, but I had that going into ET, other than that not too much going on.

STICKY BABY DUST TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey Kbear. goodness we are in the same situation aren't we. Well I had 3 fertilized and 2 made it 3 day trf and they were "perfect" 8-celled embryos and the third one was a little behind the other two. I got the call Tuesday that it made it to blast and it was "perfect". So, when the nurse I called I said the one that was behind the other two made it to blast. She said yep. Girl, I was like that was only God. LOL So, we were in somewhat the same situation good luck to you too.

Happy Good Friday Everyone! I just got the call....all 8 embabies made it thru the night and we are transferring on Monday, 3/24 :P

Congrats Itsgottawork! What a great BETA #..you might have more than 1 in there :)

Jen - Congrats on the Positive HPT...that is a great sign and your BETA is just days away. :P

Ok, well I will be transferring 2 blast most likely. I just pray they all make it over the weekend. Last cycle, I had 15 and all but 3 stopped growing, so we transferred all 3. I am fine with 2 blasts if they are good quality and hope to have some to freeze. Ok, I am rambling...

Have a Great Weekend and Happy Easter!
