Of course the pineapple! Can't possibly forget about that!!

I haven't heard anything about brazil nuts...really?

3 heartbeats....amazing! You must be so exhausted!

What kind of specialist?

I know, time is just flying by...
I start shots in about 3 weeks. it'll be here before i know it.

take care of yourself and rest!!

Joanie!
I have been worried about you!
How are you feeling?

My ER is sometime the beginning of June (??) and I start my shots this weekend. I have been on BCP for a looooong time, and it is making me emotional and tired...can't wait to be off of it and be emotional and tired for a good reason!

Take it easy, I hope you are relaxing and getting lots of sleep!

Hey

Post by joanie74 »

I am great. I was just really tired but now I am energetic. I have been walking everyday and watching my diet and I feel like a new woman.

Let me know exactly when your ER and ET are so that I can have you in my thoughts and prayers.

I will be keeping in touch.

Hi Joanie,

Good for you! Glad you have some energy! You must be in your 2nd trimester?
Walking is the best for you, and drink lots and lots of water, especially in your last trimester, when things start to swell...... :wink:

I will keep you posted, as soon as I find out! Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers...I have a feeling I am going to need a lot of those!!

Thanks for keeping in touch...hey -- what is your due date?

Joanie, already got the pineapple! yum.
My ET is sceduled for Wednesday (day 5), so hopefully that means the little embies are dividing and healthy! I will keep you updated!


thanks, IVFMum, for your story. My DH and I are struggling with whether or not to freeze any embies we have left over. Our FET didn't work, so we are kind of sour on that. But JOANIE is also proof it works!!

Hey Joanie,

Er went fine. I am feeling very bloated. And very tired. Last I heard we had 7 embies growing and dividing. My ET is Wednesday, tomorrow morning!
We will only put 2 in, and I guess we will decide about freezing when we see how many made it to day 5.

How are you feeling these days?
Have you bought any baby things?

Thanksfor all the baby dust and cheers, Joanie.
I am going to need them!

My transfer went fine 4 of my 7 made it to day 5...we transfered 2, and the other 2 were not in really good shape, so we made the decision not to freeze. the 2 we did transfer looked really good and big.
I test on the 28th...now comes the dreaded waiting game.
