Dec/Jan 08 Cycle Buddies

[esperanza]

Hey everyone,

I've been here on the couch all day! I just quickly went with my brother to rent some movies and back to the couch. I watched "grease"...it was so much fun...John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John....ahhhhhhh

I'm following WashingtonDA's advice, I haven't even taken a shower and I already stink I'm glad DH is won't be here until Saturday. lol.

Mrs. G...definitely a good sign! we SO deserve these babies we're carrying right now.

Michelle--Thank you! I hope you have a great Easter weekend as well.

Amy--yay...16 follies. It's so wonderful to see you get to this point, you've been waiting for so long. Your precious one(s) is /are closer and closer to being in your arms, just like mine!

IS today the first day of Spring? really? c'mon sunshine!

Neffi--how are you feeling hun?

WashingtonDA-- good to hear about your u/s...five fingers waving...how fun and reassuring. I'm sure the b/w values will come back perfect as well.

Luv you all.

I know I have not posted much on this thread, but I am in the "In Our Thoughts" section.

I am officially:

I transferred four beautiful embryos 3 @ 8 cell and 1 @ 7 this last Monday. I have one remaining embryo that just made it to blast and was frozen yesterday. That makes me feel confident that the ones transferred are strong, as this one was the weekest. I just hope I have at least one stubborn enough to stick around.

My BETA is 04/01.

I WISH EVERYONE ALL THE BEST, AND STICKY BABY DUST TO ALL!!!!!!!

[summerbaby]

kbear - welcome back! thanks for letting us know how you are doing! sending you lots of sticky baby dust! Keep up your PMA and take care of yourself and your embryos snuggling in. Hope it is okay that I moved you to the 2ww/test list!

esperanza - sounds like you are doing everything right! think I'll follow your lead and also rent Grease -- great idea - haven't seen it in ages...so nice that your brother is there to help you during this part of the 2ww while DH is away. Hugs to both of you!

Neffi, Mrs G -- how are you both doing?

to ct-michele, washingtonda & andnichole -- so wonderful of you to moms-to-be to keep checking in here to cheer us on to our bfps!

Yes, spring began today -- and I woke up to 8" of snow! Do hope it melts soon! It's very pretty, but I'd rather see flowers starting to bloom instead!

have a great weekend and Happy Easter to everyone!
xx Amy

[Mrs. G]

Kbear - Great news!! I have a good feeling one of them will stick around for ya!

Esperanza - Thats pretty much all I did wednesday and thursday as well. I got up a few times but nothing major. I finally took a shower today.. LOL YUCK! I just didn't want to be up for that long period of time.

Me -Im doing well. I felt some cramping yesterday and mildly today. And occasional nauseous, it got really bad late last night and was gone by morning and earlier today I had to run a couple errands and it hit me really bad at one point again but went away again... ???

Ive had a busier day than I would've liked to for my niece's 18th birthday but Im going to take it easy now. Hope everyone else is doing well!!

Amy - You will be joining us here soon! ER is only a few more days away!!!

Hello all, i'm usually on the feb/march ivf board. I wanted to say hello and for the ones that may not have seen any of my post, my situation is in my siggy.

I wanted to address andnichole. I saw that you did a 3 day transfer and only had 3 eggs. I know that everyone is different and I know that we cannot do anything for the outcome following the transfer. Heck we had no control over anything beforehand. Anyway, I just wanted to know if you felt any kind of way before your test or during a certain period after your transfer? and this is for whomever had a 3 day transfer and is currently preggo. I just want to know what others have "felt" or have gone through.

[CT_Michele]

Keita- I had a 3 day transfer, 2 8-celled and I am now 4 months pregnant with a singleton. It's hard to say if I "felt" anything. The first few days I felt pregnant, but I guess that was just a lot of bloating from the ET and progesterone. After those first few days, I felt nothing, like I was completely normal again. By the end of my 2ww, I felt despressed because I had a gut feeling it didn't work. I tried to stay positive, but hpt's kept coming out negative and my beta was fast approaching. Turns out I was a late implanter and I was pregnant. I really didn't have symptoms for a long time though.

[Neffi211]

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[esperanza]

Happy Easter to you too Neffi! (even though I don't really celebrat it...meaning, I don't do anything too special. I say a prayer and light a candle. In Venezuela Holy Week is very religious, and since I've been living in the US I haven't done much in that regard).

Thanks CT_Michele. that makes me feel better as well regardless...atleast 3day transfers aren't as bad as people make them out to be. and congrats to you

[Mrs. G]

So for those of you ladies that were blessed with BFP's do any of you recall having any early symptoms and about what day past transfer did you experience them?

How early did you test?

Just thought I'd solicit stuff to give us soon to be BFP's an idea. I know it can also be too soon and everyone is different but just wondering.

[esperanza]

hey Mrs. G. Are you planning on POAS? I had decided not to do it, but now I am entertaining the idea. Remember that symptoms are this point can be the PIO.

Just think about this, our babies have already implanted (you also transferred blast, right?), and now they are growing, growing, growing!

[washingtonda]

Esparanza & Ms G -- I see that you ladies are tolding tight. I thought I wouldn't POAS either but as time drew near, I felt like I had to know. Just make sure you don't do it too early and upset yourself over nothing.

How are you ladies feeling?

Just continue to rest when you can and don't overdue it. I rested right up until I was 10-11 weeks.

Today I am 13 weeks and officially in my 2nd Trimester. That is such a good feeling. I know that you guys will be posting these words someday soon yourselfs. Remember PUPO!!!

[CT_Michele]

Well, as most of you know, during my 2ww, I could not help but to POAS. I started very very early. I kinda had a feeling I was pregnant, I thought I had symptoms, but I think they were mostly from the transfer and progesterone. I think I started taking them 5dp3dt and of course it was negative. I waited a few more days and tried again and still negative. I was negative all the way up until the afternoon before the morning of my beta. I was obviously a late implanter. I used so many hpt's that the pharmacy down the street from me ran out of first response. In the beginning of taking the hpt's, my attitude was, "well, it is still too early and I knew it would most likely be negative." By the end I was very upset b/c I thought it hadn't worked. So even though they made me crazy, they actually helped to keep me sane too, if that makes any sense at all. You ladies need to go with your gut, just remember, nothing is for sure until beta...but do let us know if you do...

As for me, I have another ob appt tomorrow. I don't think I will get an u/s, but I am going to ask anyway, I am dying to know if it is boy or girl, and I have read you can find out at my stage, even though my doc says wait until 20 wks. I will let you all know what happens tomorrow.

[andnichole]

Keita: I had some cramping on and off after my transfer but besides that I had no symptoms at all before I POAS. I tested and got a BFP 10dpt. The first time I POAS at the 10 day mark the line was definitely there but light. I also did acupuncture in the weeks leading up to the transfer and then 2 hours after the transfer hoping to increase the odds of implantation. Wishing you luck in getting that BFP!
