Thanks everyone for the congrats. I am going in Wed for my 2nd beta, they wanted me to wait til Friday, but I've waited enough, and asked to come in Wed. I am off that day so I really wanted to go in. I don't know how many betas my clinic does, I've never made it past two.....so we will see. I am just so happy, but still a little nervous that it won't rise! But like everything else, I just have to wait and see!

LB--I can't beleive this worked out for both of us this time! We'll have to meet up every year and do the beach and water slides and everything else that we can think of!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a dream come true!!!!!!!! I am so happy!

To all those waiting for beta.....I know how bad it is, I can't wait to hear more BFPs coming in in the next week!

IMBlessed: You are breaking all the betas numbers!!! UNBELIEVABLE!
You must be so happy. I would be jumping up and down but only on the inside because it would not be so good for the embies. Congrats again !!
It sounds like you're going to be blessed with more than one!

Neffi CONGRATUALTIONS!!!!
I'm so happy with you & IMblessed that the 3rd time is a charm. Bodes well for a few of us :)

Prawnster Have an amazing time!! I was in Marbella & Tenerife last year...the weather is like California...love it!
I think it's an implantation stain & I agree with ForMaggie....go to your regular doc and get a beta. Was it 3 day or 5? I guess 3 day would be too early.

Maggie You make me laugh....and Cocosmomma no fingerling potatoes for us...too much starch & sugar.

MzTia Pupo!!! & lots of stickies to those 2 little fighters!!

Irish Sounds like hell! I was getting those awful constipation pains one night so I can't even imagine OHSS. Don't worry about that emby...it's well protected.

Turtles I'm loving your numbers!! let us know the date.

My E2 was 1332!!! That is the highest I have ever been. I am sooo happy :D They said they are pushing me one more day and expect ER to be Thur. Yippeee!! :D:D I think they do more 3 day transfers here so that would be Sun. They lowered my GonalF to 150 tonight and tomorrow morning, but kept the lupron at 20units. I go back in tomorrow.

<b>Prawnster</b> I am definitely bloated. I read about others being so bloated so I went and bought some maternity shorts and wore them today. They are soooo comfortable ;) I might need to buy some more. I am like you that I feel guilty about my son when so many other girls here don’t have any. He is so excited about getting a sibling though it is too cute. He keeps kissing and hugging my belly. I gave him a hug back one time and he said that he wasn’t hugging me, he was hugging the eggs. :)

<b>Valerie</b> I like your picture of the turtles hatching. I am glad you are feeling better. Good luck next cycle.

<b>IMBlessed</b> Great second beta number. I bet you can’t wait to see your little bean. Congrats.

<b>IrishHope</b> Have you taken any meds for gas? My clinic gave a list of meds we could take and some gas meds were on there. You should ask your doc. I think gas pain is some of the worst pains. I hope things start looking up for you.

Well ladies.....I was just getting ready for bed, I went to the bathroom, and I'm spotting! It is very light, but of course now I'm freaking out! Why can't I at least have one day of happiness? I know that lots of people spot and it means nothing, but this early? I will see what it looks like in the morning, if I get any sleep!

SDTRYING-- when did you spot????

Hi Everyone - wow, what a crazy Monday, lots going on on the board today...its hard to keep up! I just wanted to say hello to everyone and happy to see all the positive stuff going on..its so encouraging! I am just hanging on and hoping that my embies are snuggling in tight and like Dakota, I am trying to stay sane during this wait and I am so impatient too...I had an old HPT under my bathroom sink so on Saturday I peed on it just to see it say 'Pregnant' (since the trigger was still in my system)...i know, its so silly, but it made me giggle...am i the only one guilty of doing this?? lol

ForMaggie - your post about the chickens and the food sounded dreamy..made the crappy pizza i had for dinner tonight pale in comparison...LOL

MzTia - congrats on being PUPO!! YAY!!

Neffi - Yay on your beta!! So exciting!!

To everyone else, hope you are doing great!!

Neffi: I'm getting ready for bed as well and saw your post. PLEASE stay calm, it's what's best for the embies. I'm sure you're fine and it's just spotting and only spotting. I know it's nerve wrecking to see that.
In the morning, there won't be anymore.
Take deep breaths and do some meditation.
Thinking about you and sending you loads of strength !!

Indie: I'm so very sorry it did not work out this time. We all hope the first time is going to be the one but realistically it often is not.
Give yourself some time to reconstruct yourself emotionally, physically and spiritually and try again if possible.
Best of luck for the future, your time will be coming very soon.

Big hugs....

Neffi--Don't panic! I have been spotting throughout. At first, I was wild with anxiety but I learned from my doctor that spotting in an IVF pregnancy is VERY common. In fact, about 40% of IVFers who go on to deliver bundles of joy experience bleeding in the first trimester. Some estimates are even higher. One possible explanantion is that your endometrium is extraordinarily cozy and lush--an awfully nice place for baby! So relax and enjoy that BFP. Your time has finally come. :D

IndieBlue--I am so sorry. Have you had your beta? I am not sure what the policy is in your clinic, but my clinic requires women to have betas even if AF has seemingly arrived. It's not common, but some women have a full bleed even when they are pregnant. You may want to get checked just in case. I really wanted this to work for you and I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Take care of yourself.

Thank you ladies :) I really really wanted this to work as well and thought it would since everything went so well. I still have to have my BETA tomorrow, as I'm in a study and they require it. I even have to continue the Crinone/progesterone and then go back next week for a 'final visit'. So while I'd love to just say "I'M DONE, and leave me alone LOL" I can't.

Right now I don't see that we'll be able to do another cycle...and I keep thinking I just don't know if I could go through another let down this BIG....but maybe time will heal these wounds and the money will come from somewhere and we'll manage to try one more time.

I have to believe though, that if it was meant to be it would have worked....and maybe God just doesn't have this planned for us. I'll continue to pray though...who knows :)

WOW, I'm thinking now I should have checked back with these boards last night. A lot happened since my last post.

Neffi: How are you this morning? I hope that nasty spotting isn't showing it's head still. I too have heard plenty of pregnant woman spot suring a lot of their pregnancy. Don't start giving up hope now!!

Indie: I'm SOOO sorry it didn't work out for you. I'm thinking 3 embies on the first try may not have been the magic number for several of us. Just know that there are several of us here that are going through the exact same thing. We are here for you whatever you decide. I hope you get the chance to try again. Me and my DH are trying to get a loan to try a second time. We pay completely out of pocket, so this has been hard. But I know that if God wants this to work, He will make a way for us. Just keep the Faith, and all things will work out. I am also sorry the study makes you continue. That just isn't fair.

queenie: Hope those little embies are getting attached!! I think it's cool you got to see "pregnant" even if it was from the trigger!!

turtles: What a fantastic E2!!! Congratulations!! ANd only a couple days away from ER!! Hope those eggs are healthy and ready to make you PUPO!! You are almost there!! And we are right here cheering you on! :D

TO everyone else, I hope you are having a Terrific Tuesday! I still haven't heard from the bank, but I will keep you posted. I am impatient, so I will call them today!! :lol:
