Good Morning Ladies,

Wow what a big day it was yesterday all around.

Jharris-Best of luck at the bank today, I am sure it will work out and you will be on those wonderful shots soon.

Adsgirl-Grats on stimming I just know those follies are growng big and plump.

Irish-I can only imagine how awful the OHSS is but you are preggo that is so fantastic. I will be thinking of you NOT in the hospital.

Queenie, Dakota, Prawnster-YAY PUPO. I feel alot of BFP's coming to close out the month.

LB-What could be more wonderful then hearing the heartbeat you are wel on your way now.

Neffi- How exciting to see that line on that HPT. I am thinking about POAS'ing just to see a line from the trigger how silly is that.

Emmy-Fantastic BETA, could there be twins )

SueQiwi- I am so happy to hear you will be starting again. This will be your time.

Hopeful-That BETA looks like it is doubling to me. That embie just wanted to get nice and snuggled and comfy and looks like it is now.

As for me I am just sitting near the phone waiting for my fert report. It is hard cause hubbys swimmer really aren't that great. His were so Bad Wed that the lab lasy asked me if we considered adoption how awful is that. You would think they would be more positive. Oh well poo on her it only takes one. I know those swimmers just jumped with excitement when they saw my eggs and couldn't wait to jump on in.

Have a great relaxing weekend!!!

Emmy - Holy Beta! Good for you!

Adsgirl - hope your follies are growing big and strong!! Hopefully you feel well and not too uncomfy...

LB - wow a heartbeat! I'm jealous - time cant'go by fast enough- I just want to know things are ok...

Neffi - Congrats! Even after my doc called and told me I had one HPT in the house and pee'd on it just so I coudl for ONCE see a positive! hahaha!

SueQiwi - I am glad you seem to have gotten teh tears out and are ready to move ahead! It is normal to feel so "sad/heavy" - I don't think I fully was ok for a few weeks after our first BFN but we are strong women! You can do it!!

MzTia - hope your phone call was great! Sometimes people say the most inappropriate things - ignore that woman!

I feel a little better today - am still hugely bloated and get winded if I walk up or down stairs...I am so hoping I will skate past the "gettign worse" stage my doc described and day by day keep getting better. Anyone know how long OHSS tyipcally lasts?

It's beautiful here so at least I can sit in the yard vs. my bed :D

Hope everyone has a great wknd...beta tomorrow hopefully!

WOW! Ya'll are rocken' out the BFP!!! Man o man. The may/june thread didnt start off so well, but it looks like it going out with a bang!! This is so exciting!!! COngrats to all!!

Prawnster- How did it go yesterday??

Queenie- Yeah, PUPO you are girl!! I hope you are taking it easy this weekend. I am, but I am getting board.

MzTia- Congrats on the 7 eggs!!! I cant wait for your report today. I hope there was a HUGE party last night.

Irish- I hope you're feeling well.

Emmy- WOW...WOW. Thats all I can seem to get out...WOW!!! Congrats :D

HopefulIL- That is fantastic news!!! I am so happy that your BETA is climbing. It may be slow, but girl its going up and thats all that matters!!! You are beating the odds starting out with a 13 and are now where you are. Now thats what I call HOPE!!

I'm just laying around taking it easy, talking to my little o's, trying to give them encouragement. One day down, 9 more to go. I said I was not going to, but I think I may test Fri next week. It will be 8dp5dt, so I am guessing I'll know by then, Although, the blast were only at a stage 1 (stage 6 is when they hatch), but I should still at least see a faint line by then.

I hope all is doing well. This 2ww is the pits :roll:

<b>Emmy</b> Wow, What a beta number :shock: That is <u>great!!</u> Congrats!!

<b>SueQiwi</b> Glad you are feeling better. Having a good cry always helps. (Though my husband doesn’t always understand this) Big hugs to you and hope your next cycle is the one!!

<b>hopefulinillinois</b> Glad your numbers are going up. Keep that PMA

<b>MzTia</b> I can’t believe the lab lady asked you that. Shame on her. Are you doing ICSI? Hope you get your call soon.

<b>Jharris</b> - Good luck at the bank today. Hope it is all good news.

<b>Valerie</b> Its funny that my name fits so perfectly now. I have had it for years now and it had nothing to do with fertility. My husband needed a fantasy football name and he knows I love turtles. Well, his brother saw some turtles on a stump while they were boating and suggested that name. My husband used it and then I took over the name because I loved it. It is great when you need a screen name because nobody uses it :wink:

<b>IrishHope</b> Glad you are feeling a little better today. Hope your OHSS is over with. I have no idea how long it lasts. Good luck and have a good weekend!


As for me I just got back from the clinic. My lining was great at 12.2. My right side had 14.2, 13.4, 11.4 and <b>4</b> <=9.1. On the left I had 17.4, 13.5, and 12.8. I am so happy. There was a scary moment when she was looking at the left side which is always hard to find. At first she measured one follie at 30 or so. :shock: She kept saying that couldn’t be right. So she did abdominal u/s and we saw that it was 3 follies so close together it was hard to distinguish between them. Whew :wink: She also said I would definitely need pain meds after retrieval because it was going to be really hard for the doc to get the left side eggs. Ugh :mad: Can’t wait to hear what my E2 level was. Hope they call soon with instructions.

WOOHOO :D They called and my E2 was 774!!! That is a lot better than last time at 155. I am so happy. It is funny that my hormones are higher but I am not as emotional as last time. Makes my husband happier also :wink: So I keep everything the same amount and go back in on Monday.

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!!

HopefulinIllinois and Emmy - Congrats on your growing beta numbers!! Emmy, how many embies did you transfer? Could it be triplets?? Kudos to both of you!

Neffi - Sounds like the making of a BFP!! i am SO SO happy for you!

SueQuiwi - Great to hear from you...glad you took time to heal...hopefully you will be back in the swing of things soon

Irishhope - Thinking of you and hope you are feeling better in no time. I can't believe what you are going through...but hopefully it will all be worth it for your BFP! Can't wait to hear your beta!!

Turtles - Glad to hear things are going so well! 30!! That would have been outrageous! My E2 is at 128 or 178 (can't remember which) after two days on stims. I am going back again tomorrow morning. Looking forward to the update!! Have you had any side effects on the stims? I haven't been feeling well at all...kind of sick to my stomach and very Blah. Hope you are feeling better than me!

Dakota and Queenie - PUPO!! YAY!! Prawnster, too, right?? I didn't see a post...hope all is well, Prawnster!

LB - The heartbeat! I can't imagine it! It gives me chills just to think about it! You must be elated!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend...so exciting to read all of the updates!

Mztia: I can't believe the insensitivity that some people have !!! :evil:
Here we are trying so hard to have our own children, you just went through ER and that's the best they have to say !! I'm sorry but it infuriates me.
Don't pay any attention to them and I know you'll have lots a great embies. Like Adsgirl said, keep the PMA and let us know about your report. You're in my thoughts.

More personals later because I got to go.

Evening Girls,

Sorry I haven't posted until now but DH has been hogging the computer as working from home, grrh, how dare he...

Well all is good with me, I had 2 3day 8 cell embryos put back and am hoping they are getting cosy. I will have to wait for a report on the other 12, to see if they meet the frostie criteria - but thats fine and would be a bonus.
I sat on the sofa for most of yesterday but have been up and about today but just careful not to do any heavy lifting etc. I am still quite bloated, so just keep drinking lots of water. I have to wait until the 27th to do a HPT test as my clinic don't do betas and also I will be on hols then in spain at Eurocamp (hope can access internet).

Queenie & Dakota - Glad you are both home safe and sound with your beanies. Look after yourselves and enjoy having your little visitors on board. I have a feeling that we will be the LUCKY 3 together.

Ads - Thanks for asking about me, as you can see from above all is well. Hope you are feeling okay.

IrishHope - I really feel for you as I have very mild OHSS and am finding it difficult. I really hope you start to feel better soon. I am so pleased that you got a BFP and can't wait to hear your beta. You know before these little darlings are even born, they are noisy!! Congrats.

Turtlesonastump - fab fert report, you must be very happy, well done you. I will have to ask EggBert to do some serious mating and fast. That way I can give you all some mini EggBert's and protect everyone's eggs.

LB - Fantastic news that you saw the heartbeat - look after yourself

MzTia - 9 Eggs, great result. You obviously had a lab lady who was related to my Dragon Doctor! I can't believe these so called professionals make such flippant but damaging remarks. They should be picked up on and not allowed to work!!! Bit harsh I know but how stupid and insensitive they are. Well I proved my Dragon Doctor wrong so I think you are right and your DH swimmers will be of olympic standard due to their eagerness.

Neffi211 - What can I say, yipeeeeeee

emmy, wow i think there is at least 2 if not 3. Well done!

To everyone else, hope all is well.

Oh forgot to ask - when is implantation (if it does) supposed to happen? I keep reading so many different answers.

thanks :?:

Prawnster, if I am not mistaken, implantation can start as soon as the embryo is 6 days old. That is when they "hatch", give or take. If you've transfered 8 celled on day 3 then they are on schedule and can start implanation as soon as tomorrow or Monday!! How exciting!!

There is a thread on here somewhere that is the day and a life of the 3 day embryo.
