Babygurl - I'm sorry your numbers aren't rising as expected. But, hang in there and think positive.

AdsGirl - Great to hear 12 out of 14 fertilized! How many do you plan to transfer?

Emmy - CONGRATS on the TWINS! That's wonderful!

Dakota - When I get constipated, I drink 2 miniature cans of prune juice and it works well for me. I drink it with a straw so I won't have to taste it so much.....it goes straight to the back of the throat. My RE recommends colace, but I like to keep things as natural as possible.

Hopeful - It's great that you got to see your little one today! I'll have my first u/s tomorrow.....I'm really looking forward to it.

Jude - WELCOME! Wow, I didn't know you could do cycles back to back without doing BCPs. My clinic always has you do BCPs between every cycle. I pray that this is your time.

Thanks to all who responded about the suppositories. I'm learning to just deal with it. :roll:

Enjoy the rest of your day, ladies!

HopefulinIL - CONGRATS!! That must have been quite a thrill to see that heartbeat! Wow...I can't even imagine it. So happy for you!

Dakota - when's your second beta? Tomorrow? Can't wait to ehar the number! Are you still POAS?

Emmy - Congrats on the twins! Are you going to find out the gender eventually or will you wait and be surprised? That is just so exciting!

Jude - welcome to the board...I'm also having my ET Saturday, so we'll be in it together! Will you get a fert report in the morning? Does your doc have you go on bedrest? I will be on 4 days of bedrest...ugh...

Turtles - I can't remember...when is your beta scheduled for?

So now that we are to this point, my DH and I are having a REALLY hard time deciding how many to transfer. Was this a hard decision for the rest of you? I had thought we would transfer three, but now we are thinking maybe we might just do two. Assuming the embryos are great quality (nothing to indicate we wouldn't have a few great ones at this point)...and considering how well everything has gone to this point, we feel our chances of getting pregnant are really good. The though of triplets doesn't scare me too much, but we still want to make the responsible choice, which seems like it would be to transfer 2. Any words of wisdom out there? We are both really struggling with this. Thanks, girls...

Adsgirl - my beta is on July 3rd. Hmm, I would consider when you decide that 5 day blasts are suppose to do better for chances of getting pregnant. Personally, the idea of three scares the crap out of me, but that is because of my limitations with my leg( or should I say my lack of a leg :wink:) That is going to be a hard decision. What did you doc suggest? My doc would only put back 2. Wishing you clear head for you choice. How are your PIO shots going?

Well, I am going to go roast some chicken with potatoes and zucchini. I have have been missing my veggies :) My DH made me a sandwich for lunch and then said he was done with the kitchen duties. :roll: I am just glad I didn't starve :wink:

Jude- Welcome!!! Congrats on 7 eggs!! Lucky #7 :D When do you get your fertility report? GL, let us know the prgress.

HopefulIL- WOW! That is fabulous news!!! Just think, you went from a beta of 13 to now a heartbeat. That is so wonderful!!! Congrats to you and DH, I bet you are on cloud 9.

MzTia- Countdown until tomorrow!!! How are you holding up?? R U going insane :o

Adgirl- I hope all is well and you and DH are able to decide comfortably how many to transfer. I am sure your going to make the right decision for you guys.

Turtles- If I relied on DH for food I'd get hotdogs & mac n cheese everyday.

I am a nervous wreck about today's beta. I had a horrible dream last night. I went in for an US and there was nothing, not even a sac, no sign of anything. So they pulled my chart and the nurse started yelling that I was never pg and they had my chart mixed up with someone else's so they kept giving me her beta's as mine was only 5. I wish that they didnt make me go so long inbetween beta's and I had this done yesterday instead of today.

Thanks for all the suggestions on my bathroom problems :shock: I would do the prune juice in a heartbeat, but I am IR and am not premitted to have any type of juice. I may have to break out the greasy bacon and eggs. By being on Metformin, that just lubes me all up, but it makes me really sick, that is why I have been avoiding it. :roll:

Well, wish me luck today!! I am leaving here in a few hours and should know in about 4-6 hours.

Dakota - man you have the craziest dreams. I never remember my dreams. My husband gave me mac and cheese but he bought it at the deli. He can't even make mac and cheese from a box :shock: He is so happy to be out of kitchen duty. Good luck with that beta today. I'll be thinking of you.

Well, I am feeling yucky today. Kinda nauseous. I started the estrogen patches yesterday. Is this a side effect?

Dakota - Can't wait to hear those beta numbers today!

So I didn't hear anything about my embies yesterday, and I've just been going crazy with anticipation of finding out how they're doing...so I just called the doc's office...of course, none of the nurses were available, so now I have to wait for someone to call me back. I can't believe ET is still two days away! This is taking forever!

I'm going to take a minute to try to update the list...

I got to see my little bean today! I was so elated to see the little heartbeat flicker! I almost became emotional. DH was excited as well. The baby measured on target and everything is coming along fine, except my ovaries are still swollen. That's probably why it looks like I'm already showing. RE told me to drink plenty of Gatorade. I'm 6wks and 4days along. And get this.....my due date is Feb 14th....the same as my RE's birthday (how neat). DH also proposed to me on that day. :) Anyway, I'll get another u/s next week, then I'll be released to my OB (whom I already have an appt with). They gave me a pic of my little bean...I can't stop looking at it! DH and I are truly blessed! THANK YOU GOD!!!
