Kbear - 4 was our lucky number too! :D 3 great ones and one a little behind. We got a singleton, seems like you are at good odds for twinsies :D :D I know that 4/1 seems like an eternity away, but remember you are:

Hello IVF Sisters!

Glad to hear everyone is doing so good!

J&C ~ Whew Hoo! Welcome to the POAS club! :D Please please tell us about your great news once you test tomorrow morning!!

Sue ~ Where are you? Doing ok? Remember, PUPO!

Brs888 ~ Super beta! April 3rd will be here before you know it!

Keita ~ How are you feeling? Hope all is well.

I am doing good. This evening I am super tired and a bit crampy, but feeling really positive! I'll rest this evening and tonight. I have a bizarre feeling that there is more than one bean in me! :D (Don't know why, maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me!)

Have a great evening!

Hi Ladies!

Thanks for those that were checking in on me. Very sweet. I am OK. I had a little breakdown yesterday, nerves I guess. (DH was here and he was wonderful, so that helped.) But I did feel very overly-emotional... pms maybe? :-/

This is definitely going to be a tough 2 days until I POAS on Sunday.. yikes!
I am still not feeling "it", but I'll be OK. ;-)

CONGRATS ItsGottaWork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome, so happy for you!

GL to everyone and Happy Easter, if you celebrate.

Mrs. G ~ Are you getting lots of rest? Hopefully you are feeling better today.
I am feeling better thanks for asking! Ive had some cramping the past couple of days just mild and nauseous. I hope thats a good sign! Im so excited and anxious and scared at the same time. Today was the first day i got up and out of the house since the transfer on Wednesday. Ive been bed rest ever since... Good thing I needed it. Im going to rest up over the weekend and pray one of the embies is getting cozy in there!!

Well, I POAS this morning, and it is POSITIVE!!! I can't believe it. I just keep staring at it. After 5 years of TTC, I've never seen a positive HPT.

We're cautiously optimistic and are looking forward to tomorrow's beta.

Sue - I don't feel anything either. Not a thing. It's our turn this time. PMA!

J&C hey how are you doing?
Congrats on the bfp. I know you're happy...the first BFP ever! that is great.

I look at your siggy too and love looking at it. I said that to Jen too. LOL i don't think a lot of us did a 3dt. So that is good to see a lot of positives from that. I guess b/c all i've heaard of are 5 day transfers. you know. so congrats and good luck on your beta.

I am SOOOO Proud of everyone. I can't tell you how happy I am to see others sharing in the BFP feeling. It truly is an AMAZING journey.

We went this morning for our 2nd ultrasound and we VERY surprised that we got to HEAR the babies heartbeat. OMG Ladies.. THAT is the moment it hit me that I'm not just getting fat, that my bump has a strong heartbeat. I pray that all of you have your dream come true. I know I've said it before but I can't seem to help but think that our positive mind and strong hearts have helped our little fighter grow!

*HUGS* Y'all are amazing. We go in for the next 2 saturdays for ultrasounds then to the OB April 15th.

Hello Ladies!

First of all.. CONGRATS J&C.. that is so awesome for you guys!!

I, however, was right about my gut feeling, unfortunately. I POAS-ed this AM (as opposed to my original plan of tomorrow since DH is working all day tom.) and... it was -ve :-((.

So, after a good cry-out this AM, we got up and enjoyed the beautifully sunny day. It's still difficult but it will get easier everyday... and then in a month or so we will go for #2.

I am truly happy for everyone else.. it definitely gives me hope!!
