Where is everyone? Its like a ghost town anymore. I remember we would have 5 pages of postings in one day!!!

Jude- I'm think about you girl. How'd the POAS go this am?

HopefulIL- Thanks for the info on the shot. I did get that info from you before. I ice the butt everynigh before shots and heat it up afterwards, but I still keep getting the welts and bruises. I dont know?? I'll suck it up and deal with it because its for a good cause.

Hope all is well with everyone. I am going to go crawl under my desk now and take a nap. 1pm, like clock work!!!

Dakota- The dr. will let you go for so long with welts and bruises. As of next Monday I am down to 2 injections per week (Mon. & Thurs) and Endometrin 5 days a week 3 times a day. I take the suppositories any day over the bruising! :D I'm not sure where levels are supposed to be for twins but my RE was telling me they like to see the "singletons" at 25 of above. Good luck on the injections! Eventually it will stop hurting as bad. :evil: Evil shots! HA HA HA
ER- 5/21 ET- 5/24
6/9- BFP

Holy crap!!! So my nurse calls me while I'm in a patient's house - I get back out to the car to find a message - gulp! I listen and she's saying "Oh no girl, I am NOT going to leave this on your machine!! Call me at this no....." So I call, talk to her and she tells me my beta is

She tells me that is great, and I'm "very pregnant!!". Did I mention I love my nurse?!!

Jude:
what a great beta number!!!
Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ads girl: I am so excited that you got a BFP! Congrats. I thought your RE's office was so nice when I was back in WI.

Dakota:
I remember when I was pg with my son. The only way I could describe the "tiredness" to my husband was..."felt like I took alot of nighttime cough syrup"...exhausted the first trimester...I can't imagine with twins how tired you must be. However, so exciting!

cwrj00: How rude of that nurse, but what wonderful news you got!!! Congrats on the twins.

hopefulinillinois: So happy your betas have continued to rise.
Such good news for all!!

As for me, I am scheduled for another FET on July 30th. I have 8 embies, froze at 3day, on ice.

Have a great weekend.

Jude - CONGRATULATIONS, I just knew it!!! :):):) I know it was worse for you, but I thought your beta was never going to get here.

Dakota - Thanks for the link :) Well today I was do damn tired that I left work at 12:30 and came home to nap. My sleepless nights had just gotten to me, so I told my boss I needed to sleep :) I took a 2 hour nap and feel a little better, although I think I could sleep a few more hours. My goodness, what are we going to do when our little ones are waking us up every couple of ours.. :shock:

hopeful - I'm so happy to hear you're doing well and that your beta is climbing so quickly, congrats!

OK I'm down to 4 days. Is it just me or does time CRAWL!! :)

YAAAYYYY!! Awesome news, Jude! That is an amazing beta number! Holy crap! How many days past ER? 16? Anyway...congratulations...I am so so so happy for you!

PIO shots: I have been icing, but had not been doing any heat. DH picked up a heating pad for me today...That was really sweet...can't wait to use it. Hoping it helps.

Dakota - I'm super tired, too. Today was my first day back at work where I was really interacting with a lot of other people...and several people were asking me "are you ok?" "you don't seem like yourself" I wanted to scream that it's because I'm tired, nauseated and pregnant...my sore butt isn't helping anything...and all of you people are annoying the crap out of me!! Anyway - I didn't do that. Wanted to. But didn't.

First thing I did when I walked in to the house tonight was come to the computer to check in on Jude :) ...next I will be laying down. Cooking dinner? Absolutely not! I'll eat whatever my DH brings me. ha ha

Kimmy - Thanks so much for checking in on us! You must be getting excited for your next FET...how many do you plan to transfer? Thanks for the note. Hoping for a BFP for you this time around! :) Are you doing AP?

Back for my next beta Sunday...Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks so much for the congrats all of you, it is so nice to see
:)

Hopeful, I'm glad your beta is rising after the low start too! That's so cool that you have a due date!! I hope Wednesday comes soon for you so you get to see your lil one again.

Angram - how many years is your anniversary? I know what you mean about poor DH! Mine has about given up on anything energetic happening at all over here!! Thanks for the congrats! You're right, now it is another wait! At least this one is short, I go back for beta #2 on Monday. Not too long til your ultrasound now...hurry up time!

Dakota - Thanks! I am 16 days past retrieval, and I checked out the chart you linked for Angram! Hmmm, I could fit into any category :shock:

Kimmy, thanks for the congrats. We were on the 2WW thread together last time. I really hope and pray that this time you get your BFP. How many frosties are you going to thaw?

Adsgirl, thanks so much! I know what you mean about wanting to check on people and make sure things are good. Now I'll be waiting for you to post your even bigger numbers tomorrow! Hope DH fed you well
:)

Take care all

Jude - We just celebrated our 2 year anniversary and have been actually TTC for 25 months, started a little early :) I can't wait to hear your next beta on Monday, I bet it's crazy high!

AdsGirl - I hope the wait hasn't been too bad for you, can't wait for your results in the morning.

Well today was officially my first day with m/s and I was pretty much feeling crappy all damn day. I know, I asked for it...actually begged for it :) I can't seem to get enough food, but nothing really tastes good either. I snacked all day long, but nothing seemed to help. Went to the store and bought some ginger ale, so maybe that will help. Also haven't been sleeping, so I'm guessing the exhaustion isn't helping the m/s any. Anyhoo, I'll take anything thrown at me at this point, having this baby is the most important thing and DH said he didn't want to hear any complaining, after all this is exactly what I wanted :)

Hope everyone else is doing well and having a great weekend.

Hey ladies! Just another tired day for me, but not much to report. I go in for my 3rd beta tomorrow (sorry to keep you waiting, Jude! They had to schedule me for Sunday since they had no procedures today and wouldn't be in). I go in at 8 am, should have my results by 10. I can't wait. Also - hopefully I'll have an idea of when my U/S will be. I think maybe the 25th, but I don't know anything for sure.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I'm waiting til the U/S to join the pregnant after treatment forum...even though my due date will be March, I will probably join the Feb Mommies Board with all my May/June peeps!

Angram - Tsk Tsk, fancy starting trying early! :wink: Hope the ginger ale helps some with the m/s - but glad you got it! (where else would you wish that on someone!!)

Adsgirl - oh rats! I thought yesterday was Sunday, so I was waiting on your beta, and now it is sunday then it's wait til tomorrow!!! well, I go in for my repeat at 7.15am tomorrow but we don't normally get results til at least midday or later. I bet your numbers will be great!! If you go to the Feb 09 mummies to be board, I'll be coming too (I hope), and you know, if its twins, it'll be a feb date anyhow! This is getting very exciting isn't it. I am nervous for monday now.

So just waiting around, and chilling out at home this weekend. Me and DH went out to eat last night, and OMG everything tasted soooooooo good. I hope this is because of a heightened sense of smell! If it is, and it continues, I'm going to get fat very soon!! Oh well! Today I have to go and buy a pressie for a friends baby shower, when I got the invite, I knew it was going to be hard because of how close to this cycle it was, but I am so glad to be going with a positive instead of a negative. Thank you god!!

Hope everyone else is doing okay and having a nice weekend :)

Jude & Adsgirl - I'm also going crazy waiting for your next beta's, my goodness time has absolutely come to a standstill this past week, for each of us!! :)

Jude - I'm there with ya on some food tasting sooo good, I've been finishing my entire plate when we go out to eat. The problem I've been having is that absolutely nothing sounds good to make at the house. I go shopping every Sunday and I'm not able to think of a single meal! Meat definitely doesn't sound good, so I'm going to have to scrounge the web looking for some ideas :)

Dakota - Where are you this weekend, have you already moved over to the twins pregnant board? :) Hope you're doing well.

Angram- Whoohoo on the m/s!!! I'm with you, I cant sleep at night, well as soon as I hit the bed I am out, but I wake up around the same time every night and cant go back to sleep, then I am just flat out exhausted the next day.

Jude-Enjoy your shower. It will be so nice to sit there a be secretly pregnant :lol: Did you have fun shopping?

Well, no m/s for me!!! I am 7 weeks today. Also, the soreness in my boobs completley went away. Wed cant get here soon enough, I am so nervous!!!! I am dieing to see my babies again and to make sure they are ok.
