oh Girls what a crazy day...each time I log in I see a BFP adn then a BFN...mixed emotions obviously...

Crogers - congrats! Great beta!

Kimmysq - I am so sorry - glad you are jumping back on the horse!
thinking of you...

I am still days away from beta on 6/18 - I did just call my nurse b/c the last 2 days I have terrible "pulling" but not low more on teh sides of my belly button - she said I'm probably OHSS now which is considered late OHSS onset...she did mention more people w/ late OHSS it can be a sign of pregnancy b/c your E2 levels are rising so I am keeping my fingers crossed and drinking gatorade/water...I am so "winded" when I walk up stairs etc. all OHSS related...

again to all the BFPs Congrats and hugs to all the BFNs! your day will come!!

Kim -thanks for sharing...

I sent a request to Ghost and he pretty much said late OHSS means I am....I am still so cautious since beta is 6/18...too bad tomororw is only 9dpt - too early for a HPT

Crogers and Leigh31, that's great news on the BFPs!!!! What good numbers, congratulations!!!
Sending you both 'doubling beta' vibes.

Kim, thanks for the hugs, and sending them right back at ya.
We'll be up and running very soon - come on AF!!

Irishhope - you'll be POAS very soon then! Did you have a 2/3 or 5 day transfer? Fingers crossed for you.

jude7702 - thanks! we did a 3 day transfer on 6/3...I've heard about OHSS pain but man, it is no joke...hoping I can go to work tomorrow but sitting/or lying down is most comfy - walking and standing up straight is rough...ok off to drink more gatorade!

Have a goodnight all!

Congrats, Crogers!! What a fantastic beta! How many days post transfer are you?

Kimmy: Today I am 9 days post a 5 day transfer. My clinic seems to test early. We transferred 2 embryos on 6/2. I began intramuscular progesterone shots (1 cc on 5/28) that immediately increased to 2 ccs on 5/29, which I am still taking. I am also taking oral Estrace (4 mg per day). Please let me know if you have any more questions. I will be more than happy to help in any way that I can.

IrishHope: I hope that OHSS subsides. But, I have also heard that it is a good sign! I'll definitely be praying for you.

Best wishes to all of you.

Hate to break in to your thread. Wanted to congratulate everyone on their BFP!! It seems like you guys have had a lot lately.

Question- I know it is too early for me to be pregnant (just did a transfer on Monday), but I am having horrible leg cramps. Does anyone know if this is a side effect of the progesterone? I don't remember having this before.

Thanks-
Heather

hrobinson- I have had leg cramps today and it seems like I did one other day. I am BFP so maybe this is an indication that you are. I sure hope so. Good luck and keep me posted.

Crogers- Congratulaions on a BFP!!!!! Thank you for responding to my question. the leg cramps seem to have subsided, at least for the morning. I absolutley hate the 2ww. I have also noticed that I am not sleeping at night....which for me is super rare. I think though, that I may just be reading into things.
If I am correct, they embies implant between days 6 - 8? If that is so, then they would not even implant unitl Saturday at the earliest.

Crogers- Your beta is really good. Are you guys hoping for twins?

Hi!
I'm an old timer, but may i join you girls?
I'm almost at the end of my 2ww- my test is on 17/6
We're trying for #2 - transferred 1 embie on 30/5( 1 survived the thaw out of 2 we had frozen) ..
I did an hpt 2 days back and it came up negative, so i pretty much know the result- just that af hasnt arrived and i am also exhausted- am still on progesterone and Estrace.
I dont know whether to give up or hang in there..
I am tired of constantly thinking abt it- so thought i could turn to you all for support..

Good Luck to all those waiting for their betas..
hugs,
smita

Crescendo- CONGRATULATIONS!!! Did you do a fresh cycle or a FET? Did you do a trigger shot? Just making sure that is out of your system.

hrobinson- I would love twins!! I really don't care how many I get I just want healthy babies. I wasn't able to sleep a couple of days last week and that is very rare for me. I sleep like a baby and I woke up 3 days in a row and wasn't able to go back to sleep. Could be a sign but you never know.

You seem to have a great outlook and I hope you get a BFP!!! Good luck!

I did donor cycle so no trigger shot. I am so excited and scared. I have been pregnant before twice naturally with my own eggs but sadly both of those ended in m/c that's why I decided to do donor egg.
