Neffi - Congrats!! Don't worry too much about the spotting...stay positive! I think it's awesome that you got them to do your second beta two days early! I'll be thinking about you tomorrow...

IndieBlue - Oh, Indie...I am so so sorry to hear that AF came...I agree with ForMaggie, though, there's a chance that it may not truly be AF. Keep your head up. Let us know how the beta goes tomorrow. What was the study you were doing? Anything specific in terms of treatment that was drastically different? I'm just heartbroken to hear your news and will be praying for a surprise on your beta tomorrow! I think I'll wait to update the list until your beta results.

Turtles - Sounds like you are moving right along! How many days will you have stimmed if you trigger today? Let me know how the trigger shot goes...mine will be coming up very soon...and I'm scared to death of that shot! Your follies sound like they're doing great...and your E2 level also! Fantastic! Can't wait to be in the 2ww with you!

Queenie - You are too funny, POAS just to see pregnant! I love it! Are you going to keep POAS so you know when the trigger is gone? Are you buying in bulk? :)

ForMaggie - Do you have an u/s soon?

IrishHope - How are you feeling today? I am so sorry for what you're going through...and to go to the ER and not even be seen...ARGH! How frustrating. Keep taking it easy...I am praying for you that this doesn't last weeks!

MzTia - Congrats on the ET...you are PUPO!! YAY!

Prawnster - Hope that was implantation bleeding!! Hoping, praying and wishing for you!!! Have you been on bedrest after ET? For how long?

ImBlessed - Awesome beta numbers, girl! Gives me chills to read the great beta numbers and think of the happiness you must be feeling. Hope to join you there soon! Can't wait to hear the beta update tomorrow!

Emmy - what's the latest? When will you go in for an u/s? Still so happy for you!

jharris - I really hope the loan comes through and you are able to keep moving forward on this path...anxiously awaiting your update! I can't remember, did you have any frosties?

I went in for my 3rd check today after 6 days of stims. The cyst still hasn't changed much and doesn't seem to be interfering with my follies, which is great! Today, she measured 10 follies, but there were several more that she didn't measure. The 10 she measured were all over 11. They ranged from 11 to 16, with most between 12 and 14. They seem to be pacing themselves well! They will call me later with my E2 and let me know if I need to change anything, but it sounds like I won't go back until Thursday...my guess is that I will trigger Friday or Saturday...we'll see!

DH went with me today for my appointment. He generally likes to be goofy and make up new words to sing to songs...about whatever random thing...like about the dog, or about how hungry he is, or about the weather, etc. Well, today on our way to our appointment, he started singing to the tune of Disco Inferno ("Burn, Baby, Burn...Disco Inferno"), but instead he sang, "Grow, Follies, Grow...Follie Inferno...Grow, Follies, Grow...Follie Inferno..." I laughed and told him it didn't sound ilke a very hospitable environment...a follie inferno...but he assured me it was...for example, "the follies are growing like wildfire (i.e., an inferno)" or "there's a fire in your belly that's making those follies grow." It was so funny, and now I'm going to have "Follie Inferno" in my head all day! Nothing like a little fire in your belly!

Hope you all are having a great day!

Hello Ladies

Indie I am so so sorry to hear your news. I just know how devastating it can be. But you never know just wait until that BETA to be sure. Hopefully you will find the strength to try again.

Jharris Good luck with the bank call today.

Irish how are you feeling today? Much improved i hope.

Well I am on day 2 of 4 of bedrest and other then my hips killing me it isn't too bad. I have a question to you count your dpo from the day of retrieval or the day after? I have my BETA scheduled for Friday June 27th. They gave me the choice of Friday or Monday like i would wait an extra 3 days, I just chuckled.

Today doesn't seem as good as yesterday on the boards here so big hugs out to you all.

Have a great day!!

Hey ladies--

Well i am feeling much better....I read alot about spotting and even though I know its very common, i still don't want it to happen to ME! Anyway, it was a light brownish mucuslike stuff, but it is now gone. I don;t know what it was, and I really don't care, I just don't want it to come back! Today is day 28 of my cycle so I should have gotten AF around today so i guess that is pretty normal. I am a little crampy, but I have been since ER. Anyway, I just can't wait for tomorrow to know that my numbers are rsing to ease my mind!

Indie-- I am so sorry to hear your news. BFN is so hard to deal with, time does heal, take time to greive and do something special!

Got my E2 results...629 after 6 days of stimming...is that ok? Seems low? She is not changing anything right now...but I'm nervous...going back Thursday. She said everything looks good right now. Should I expect E2 to continue to double? I was 128 after 2 days, 317 after 4 days and now 629 after 6 days. A little worried...should I be?

turtle- looking even better girl!! Fantastic E2 #'s, shouldnt be too much longer!!

ForMaggie- How wonderful to see your little bean. I am so happy for you.

Neffi- Yeah girl!!! 109 is fab!!

MzTia- Welcome to the 2ww wonder. Hope you are resting well.

Irish- OH NO!!! You have been through so much, I am so sorry. I hope you are feeling well and getting the gas out, without much trouble.

Prawnster -Sounds like things are going well in your 2ww and I am sure you've had implanation.

ImBlessed- WOW! What a great beta #2!!

Val- glad to hear you are feeling good.

Queenie- I wanted to POAS, but DH put his foot down last night and said he was tired of me obsessing over every ich, cramp, twing and ache. He said "your not a dr, so stop". When is your beta? R U going to POAS before then?

Indie- I am SO So sorry!!! :cry: Lots of hugs for you ((hugs)) ((hugs)). I was really routin you on. I'll still keep my fingers crossed and prayers for you for Wed. I have heard of people getting full force AF and being pg. GL.

Adsgirl- Sounds like your follie are growing real nice. Your silly DH, I had to laugh!! On day 8 my E2 was only in the 500's, but by day 10 it was over 1000. I read that your E2 #'s are to increase 50-100% every other day. Your #'s sound good.

I didnt sleep last night. Another sign of AF :? These PIO shots usually knock me out, but not last night and the cramps are getting stronger and are now ALL day long. Not 3-4 mins out of a half hour. The one thing that is a little different is it feels like my cervix is tight, there is pressure there. I hate reading every little thing. I would be much happier if I didnt feel a thing but the cramps, strong ones are very discouraging and it makes it real hard to keep the PMA, but boy am I trying. "sigh" :roll:

<b>Indie</b> Oh man, I am so sorry :cry: I hope AF is a fluke and you get a good beta number tomorrow. If not have a good cry, big glass of wine and sort yourself out. I will be thinking of you. Good luck

<b>Adsgirl</b> That sounds like a good E2 number. Mine for day 8 was 774. Looking good!! I now have the Follie Inferno song stuck in my head. Too cute. My husband is always singing weird songs too. What type of trigger shot do you have? I take ovidrel and it is a sub-q like stims. I have taken it before for IUI’s and it didn’t hurt. I am worried about PIO because my husband has a thing about shots and hurting me. I need to buy some oranges for him to practice on ;)

Well, went in again today and things look great. The nurse said she thinks that <b>seven</b> follies will be ready for ER :D:D:D The seven are between 15 and 22. Just waiting for instructions. Hope everyone else is having a good day.

Hello Girls

just a quick post as i must sort out some washing that needs doing for Hols on Sunday and then some ironing.

Thank you valerie for your kind words and I really do appreciate all the support you lovely ladies give. I am glad you feel yourself again - it really does take over your life doesn't it, i don't get anything done anymore and am addicted to the internet!

AdsGirl - I only rested on sofa on the day of ET and then was up and about the following day. I think i would go mad otherwise. Glad to hear you are moving along nicely. Love the DH song, he sounds nicely daft like mine - perhaps they have been secretly on our drugs!!

IndieBlue - so sorry to hear your sad news, my thoughts are with you

Rinnie - My et was day 3. Hope you are okay

Neffi - please stay as calm as possible, spotting is so common. Not what we like seeing but happens to so many pregnant ladies I've known.

turtlesonastump - GL for your Er on Thursday. How old is your son? He sound so cute!

Dakota and Queenie - glad to hear you are hanging in there on this awful 2ww. I have had quite bad stomach cramps today also and am quite bloated at the mo as especially evening. I think it must be the progesterone. I also remember having constant stomach ache and heavy feeling in my pelvis on my last IVF. It started approx a 6 or 7 days post ET and carried on through to about eight weeks pregnant. The trouble is they can mean so many different things so we must try as hard as poss to ignore I suppose. My fingers and toes are crossed for you.

Hello to everyone else and loads of love

Louise :wink:

WooHoo!! I have a date and time for ER. It will be Thursday at 8:30 am. My E2 was 1779 today. I will trigger tonight at 9:30. I have to go back in tomorrow for bloodwork to make sure HCG is a good number. I asked if they did 3 or 5 day transfer and they said they rarely do 5 day so Sunday will be transfer day. It is going to be weird not doing any shots tomorrow. Told my husband Thu. would be the day he would have to start giving me the PIO shots. He had a panicked look on his face. :shock: I really need to buy some oranges for him to practice some.

<b>Prawnster</b> My son is 4 about to turn 5 in August. We started trying for #2 when he was one years old. I keep telling him he is going to be a great big brother. He keeps saying "I know mama" :wink:

<b>Adgirl</b> I have stimmed 11 days today. I still have Grow Follie Grow stuck in my head :) How you feeling on stims? Today I have been really feeling my ovaries. I ache and can't find a comfortable position when I lay down.

Hope everyone is doing great.

Neffi - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! What a great beta - and I know that # is going to rise tomorrow. My first beta was only 84, and I had a little spotting also, and some cramping along the way.

Take deep breaths.....this is your turn.

Let us know that doubled # tomorrow. I'm so excited for you!!! :D

Hi Girls -

Sorry I have been off for a while. But home computer died :( .

I am truly sorry Indie. There is not much else to say other than I am thinking of you and I hope you're doing okay.

Neffi - Congrats to you. I am sure your numbers will be great tomorrow. I will be checking in.

I just got back from my ultrasound and IT'S TWINS!!! I don't even know what to say, I am so shocked. RE said they both looked great. I didn't get the heart rates but he said both were very strong and the sacs looked perfect. I did get to see the hearts beat and it was truly amazing. I just sat there laughing, I couldn't even cry. DH is out of town so I called him right there, wand inserted and all. He lost it. He was just screaming and crying. Wow, what a day!
