jim- my 1st beta was 900 and then 2nd 3 days later was 4000. I thought I heard the nurse wrong at 1st. I posted earlier that I am 7 weeks, but I'm retarded and I am really only 6 weeks. I can't focus very well with the MS, I get nausea really bad but no vomiting thankfully. I feel like I am in a fog most of the day. U/S is scheduled for next Thursday which is forever away....
sameera- I wake up every morning and I get up thinking 'oh its not that bad' then I get in the shower and it hits me. Someone told me to keep crackers on your nightstand and eat a few and wait 15 min before getting out of bed. I guess MS is a good sign??
sdtrying- any more covert betas??
jentiff- congrats on the positive beta! Praying your numbers keep going up! my EDD is Jan 13th.
How is everyone else? Who all is on 2WW now?
God Bless!

Good morning ladies.
First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY TURTLESONASTUMP!!
How is everybody? I still have 10 days left of my 2ww, and I think so far I'm doing okay. Luckily with having 2 short 4 day work weeks for it should help! Holiday weekends always go by quick, so I am hoping this one will, too!! Just trying to finds ways to stay busy. I'm at work, and that's not even helping at the moment! Hard to concentrate!!
chelly: I'm in my 2ww. But I see you were able to get through your initial 2ww, and now you are on your US wait!! How many embies did you transfer? A 900 for your 1st beta? Then to 4000?!! That is amazing! I know what you mean about feeling like you are in a fog. I have felt that way the past 2 days myself. Good luck!
sameera: I am sorry to hear the morning sickness isn't getting better. It's amzing how we are never satified, huh?! I hope you feel better. Can't wait to hear about your 2nd US!!
Dri-Jim: Thanks for that link! That was really cool! Based on my ER, my DD should be Feb 3, but we transferred 3, and if they all take, it could be Dec 16!! WOW! That is really cool! And we are all glad to hear Dri and the baby are doing well!
JennTiff: Congrats on your increased beta!
Rubylee: How are you hanging in there today?? Still resting?
Everyone else, how are you all?

Jharris - Well I really do hope your 2ww is over soon!
and you are right about being satisfied cause it's very difficult.
Chelly - your morning sickness is a good sign definitely - but it's the most awful thing ugh! I wish pregnancy didn't bring that one symptom!!!
You can try crackers and stuff and let me know if that helped you? LOL cause I would try it too.
Turtles - Happy Birthday!

Becca-
Hey, thanks for all the well wishes. How are you doing and what stage are you at right now?
Sameera-
Thx, as usual. How are you feeling these days?
Chelly-
WOW! That beta really shot up, huh? Maybe multiples? Hey, don't freak abut the US (like I did!). Looks like your #'s are good so it's really all in God's hands. I think it's important for all of to KNOW that a baby doesn't make or break us. If it happens it is wonderful, but in no way should it not happening diminish what we have with our husband or wife. You know?
JH-
Glad you found it useful. Share i with others when you can. I really liked the site myself. Dri's doing fine. I'd still like to know how to post a picture (jpeg) on here!
Ruby,
Are you self-injecting? If not, ice the bad boy down, turn your head the other way and have your helper inject it like they're holding a dart. Have them talk to you while they're puching in the medicine and then do the 1-1,000 to 5-1,000 thing. Then have them do the massaging too.
If you're doing it yourself I can't help you dear.
Either way, it's worth it.

sameera- I do crackers and ginger ale during the day, the last 2 days the MS has worn off around 4 or 5, so I am starving by dinner. I eat a small dinner, but then I have to eat a PB & J sandwich around 8 or 9. I am such a piggy!
jharris- I only transferred 2 embies, DH thinks both of them took. are you going to POAS? we will support you either way!
I think the wait for the u/s has been worse for me than the initial 2ww. I was contemplating calling the RE to see if I can get in sooner, but I feel guilty calling in to work. Oh well, guess I'll wait.....
God Bless-
Michele

Jim - Thanks for the reply. DH has done all of them, and they aren't too bad for me really. He just has to push to hard he is worried he is hurting me. He does have to go out of town though and I will be on my own 
. Someone on another board said I should heat up water in the microwave and set the vile in for 3 mins. I'll try that.

Hey Rubylee: Well my needle is a 22 gage, so it's a little bigger, but we haven't had any problems. Of course I'm not looking while he's doing it either! But I ice the area (I use a bag of frozen broccoli!) for about 10-15 minutes first, and he has found it easier for me to lay on my side on the couch or bed with the side getting the shot facing up to do the shot. He takes one hand and holds the needle like a dart, and the other hand to kind of spread the skin and hold it skin down flat. He asks if I'm ready, and then sticks it in, like he's throwing a dart! And since I am numb from the ice, I usually can't feel it. Hope that helps!
Dri-Jim: It shows at the top of the reply form an "insert image". My guess is if you have an image on like Photobucket or something that has it's own URL, you might be able to add it in. I will have to try that![/img]

How long have you been doing the injections and what are your #'s? I was going away for work a couple weeks ago and Dri had good #'s, so the doctor switched her to Crinone. Maybe they could do the same for you?
