SDTRYING!!! YAAYYYYYYY! Reading your post and thinking about your BFP brought a tear to my eye...I am so so happy for you! Enjoy these moments! I can just imagine you and your DH walking and talking about your baby-to-be! Thrilled for you, really!

Queenie - You are too funny with your shots. Did you beat your 45-minute timeframe? I was pretty worked up for my first lupron shot. Once you're going, though, and you feel like you're finally on your way, they are truly no big deal. Now, the PIO, I'm not so sure about! Good luck, girl! Hope it's getting easier for you!

Sue - You triggered!! That's awesome! Keep us posted!

RubyLee - How did it go yesterday??????

[LB]

SD - SO HAPPY FOR YOU - CONGRATULATIONS!!! I think we will see a long string of these on Friday!

Rinnie - your numbers seem great to me. I had my first b/w yesterday, which was only 4 days past 3dt. My progesterone was 45, which they were happy with, but E2 was only 450 so they put me on estrogen. I am hormone deficient so I am not surprised. I don't know what the levels mean either - are they signs of preg or not too? I go again tomorrow for b/w. I don't know what the hcg boost is for, and I hoping they don't have me do it. I think if they don't tell me to do it tomorrow, then they won't or it won't be out of my system by the 28th.

DH got a stomach bug yesterday and is feeling awful - I hear something has been going around which can last a few days. I feel bad for him, but we slept in separate rooms last night - neither of us want me and the embies to get sick!

[jharris12]

OK, 3 pages since my last post!! You would think since I was at home yesterday I would have been able to keep up! Yesterday was my last day of "rest" after ET. Thank goodness! I actually read an entire book all the way through yesterday!! I haven't done that in ages! And luckily it was a good book! So I go in Thursday for BW to check my progesterone levels, so I will see if I can find out what is a "good" level!

I am sure I won't be able to catch up with everyone personally, too much has gone on in one day!

But first, SD!!! That is amazing!! 76 already!! That is fantastic! I am SO happy for you. And your outlook during this whole process has been so positive, you definitely deserve this!

LB: Hope you DH feels better soon. Why BW again tomorrow?

Ads: Thanks for the list as usual! You are awesome!

hopinginpa: YEAH!! BEdrest is over!! It really didn't have to be as long as it was, but they told me to "take it east for a few days" which my DH instantly translated into "bedrest only for 3 days"!! But I'm back at work today.

Sue:Congrats on triggering!! It gets exciting from here!!

To everyone else, I'm thinking about you all!! Guess I should get back to work since I was out yesterday. Maybe it will make the next 11 days go by sooner?! But I doubt it!

[IrishHope]

Congrats SDTrying!!! great news...

Rinnie - thinking of you and hoping you follow in SDs trail!! I really think all you've done to prepare your body is going to pay off!!

jharris12 - Glad to hear bed rest is over...are you going to POAS? I can't keep track of who is an "addict and who is strong enough to wait for their beta...

Sue - hope all went well with triggering! You are moving right along!! Good luck!!

Neffi211 - hope AF arrives! I feel your pain in the waiting! My AF took 39 days this cycle to arrive...I was going insane!! I swear my acupuncturist helped it arrive - went Saturday at 3pm and by 3am BINGO!

Adsgirl - thanks again for updating the list! Hoping things are looking up for you...

finally had bloodwork/ultrasound this morning - ultrasound looked fine so hopefully I'll get the call to start stimming and we'll be on our way!

Hope everyone else is doing well!!

[queenie77]

SD - that is amazing! I am so excited for you!! Keep rubbing that belly and talking to that little embie!! Lots of hugs to you!

It's going to be a flurry of activity at the end of this week for everyone's beta's...you are all in my thoughts...so exciting!

Ladies:
I've seen a few of you say that your ordered POAS. Where are you ordering them from and are they cheaper than Walgreens??

Also, question regarding baby asparin. How long do you take it? I called my RE, but they havent got back to me. I started taking it when I started Syneral, but there is no end date on me protocol sheet.

Have a great day and this board is very lucky!!!
SDtrying, I also cracked up on your sig..."covert" so funny!

SDtrying - Congratulations on your BFP!!!

I haven't posted in a while, but have been reading up on everyone. I finally received my schedule and I go in for an U/S this Friday and start Lupron next Monday! I'm so excited to get going again, hoping the 2nd time is a charm

Hope everyone else is well.

[Rubylee]

SD- Wooooohooooo!!! Sounds like a bfp to me. Congratulations! I am so happy for you guys. Take it easy moving! You have the best excuse to not have to do any grunt work

JHarris - Wow, you were right, this bed rest is rough. I still have today and tomorrow and my body is aching. a girl in the waiting room yesterday said her RE told her no showers, no laying on your side; you have to be on your back flat. Was that the case for you?

AdsGirl - thank you for the updated list and checking in on me! My beta is 5/30

The ET went great! with the help of our RE we decided to put 2 of DH's in and one donor. DH were 8 cell grade 3 and 5 cell grade 2, donor was 8 cell grade 3. Though DH's are kicking booty now, RE is concerned about them because out of 18 only 3 fert, then one arrested at day 2. This way we up our chances for a bfp and if DH's don't take our next step is to do donor iui anyway. We both feel really good about it. so now I have 3 little ones getting snuggly!!

[jharris12]

OK, I am going to try and do better about staying caught up! Of course I only posted a few hours ago and feel like I need to catch up again!

Hey Rubylee: Glad to hear the ET went well!! That is great! 3 sounds like the lucky number for a bunch of us! It sounds like you made a very wise decision on what to transfer! I am so glad the bed rest part is done! My whole body was aching from just laying there. The nurse at my RE's office said to lie down for the 1st 24 hours, and that I could move positions, and only get up to go to the bathroom. I sleep on my side, so there was no way I was going to be able to avoid that, and the nurse didn't say I couldn't. She told me that after 24 hours, I could get up and take a quick shower, and maybe sit at the dinner table, but continue to lay down as much as possible, and keep activity to a minimum day 3 as well. But they never told me to lay flat. She said reclined was fine. Did I mention I am glad that part is over?! Good luck though. And take it easy. It was very hard to type in that position!

angram: Congrats on getting your schedule! You are on your way now!!

kimmysq: I haven't ordered them online, but I have seen them talk about Amazon.com and I know there were others. I think they were buying in bulk! And with the baby aspirin, I'm not entirely sure how long we are supposed to take it, but my RE gave me the prescription for 3 months worth.

IrishHope: I am going to do my best NOT to POAS. My DH doesn't want me to, and I'm afraid doing it will just drive me crazy. But I guess I will just have to wait and see how my resolve is later next week! Glad your US looks good! Good luck on starting stims!

[Rinnie]

Wooo Hooo SD !!!!! Sounds like a BFP to me. Wow, that little guy got in there & got busy You should celebrate big time. This process is so many ifs, ands and buts that when you get a Yeah!, you need to take time & enjoy it. Congrats!! I hope we all join you.

Sue Good luck on the Trigger...it's no big deal.

Hoping Thanks! You know they say "oh, that's really good" to everything, so after awhile you start to wonder what exactly does it mean?

LB The estrogen pills will kick it up quickly. I've been on estrace. I hope you don't have that booster....that'll really throw off the POAS'ing & we can't have that & hope DH feels better, but stay away!

jharris12 Keep busy....that's all I can say It gets craaaazy.

Irish Thanks for the support & lets hope you'll be stimming asap!

Kimmy I just keep taking the baby asprin..I think you take it for awhile....it helps the uterus lining. It's such a small amount it won't bother you.

angram Congrats you'll be on your way soon!

Ruby I agree with jharris12.....3 is the lucky number! Sounds perfect what you did, and now you're covered. I have my fingers crossed.
I think Love Bug went on a shopping spree to Target after her ET, so who knows the right thing to do?


Love Bug Thinking of you....hope you're holding up ok!
