Hi Everyone

Not doing to bad trying not to thing about it, pretty hard when activity levels are so low.
Is anyone going to POAS, if so when Im going back to work on Monday and would love to know before then but worried Sunday or Monday am may be to soon, my test is booked in for 1st August, but would like to know before as I do not fancy going to the clinic not knowing as they tell you there and then, no phone call later

Hi Ladies-
I'm getting a late start here. I asked my dr's office if he offered a list of contacts that have gone through ifv, they said because of the hipa laws they were not able to utilize that anymore, bummer - but this is a great site that I've found!
This is my first ivf cycle (after 6 failed ai's).
We tried for over a year to get pregnant. I had a 3 day transfer on Thurs. 7/17..... 4 were retrieved and 2 were transfered. Unfortuanatly the other 2 didn't make it to freeze. I'm very excited to go in on Monday 7/28 to find out if I'm pregnant or not! It's been so hard waiting.....

Hi jaz,
ur situation sounds like mine..i'm also 33, and have had 3 failed iui (ai's). i think i have some endo too, but never diagnosed. i had my ET on 7/18, so i test around the time you do. I retrieved 8, but only 4 fertilized, and 2 transferred. Still trying to find out about the 2 left...my RN is a bit flaky i think, and she gets patient mixed up. Anyway...keep us posted on how ur doing during this 2ww (two week wait). POAS is pee on a stink (home pregnany test)...i love these abbreviations :)

Hey Guys:

Lots of Hugs and baby dust for everybody :P

I am so glad to have found you guys - Had my 3 day transfer last Friday and this waiting time is getting to me now - I think.
Am trying to be positive but cannot help but think abt it all the time.
For my Cycle 9 eggs were retrieved but only one fertilized - 8 cell ; grade 3(RE said grade 4 is the best).
Day after the transfer for 2-3 days I had "fluttering" feeling on the right side but I know it was too early for any signs but for past two days I feel nothing - just tired which could be because of the progesterone.
Am so glad/happy to be here to share my thoughts, feelings, symptoms (if any) with you guys. Just needed someone to talk to other that DH, since we have not told anyone else about it for now.
I do talk to the embiee everyday whenever I can :) give it pep-talk to attach to me - hehehhe - see how I am passing my time - you must think I am crazy ...... but hey if talking to plants can make them grow than why not you own embryo I say :lol:

Am trying not to go for HPT on Sunday - my beat is next Tuesday but I am not sure if I can do that ....

This is my first IVF cycle - IUI was not possible in our case.

Hope everyone's beta comes out to be positive !!!!!!!!

love
Priya

Babyloves-
Thanks so much for the translation! They are very helpful. I'm going in for a blood test.... I've read a lot about the beta numbers? I know everything is such a numbers game. I guess this what they determines if we are pregnant or not?
I can't believe your endo was never diagnosed?
We got a call on day 6 (Sunday), about not freezing the other 2. They should of called you by now. I'm in TX not sure where you are? I saw that you were cramping a bit too. I get them on and off, seems more in the mornings. I was bored off my mind thurs - sun. I was kind of glad coming back to work on monday!

Hi Priya-
Your hummor is great!
What a wonderful idea to talk to the embryo. I will have to try that tonight. I'm at work right now and they might think I'm nuts if I did it here haha
Yes, it is awesome to share your thoughts in feelings on this site. All of us share such similar stories, I'm so glad I found it!
K sorry I have to ask what HPT is?

Jaz - my beta is on tuesday - 7/29 - right after urs
Lisa - why is ur beta on 1/8? I had ET on friday - 18/7 as well -
babyloves - mine ET was same time as urs.
Exciting !!!!!

Where are all of u guys located at - if u don't mind my asking.
I am in Boston,MA - cycle with BostonIVF.

I think if we are to do HPT than Sunday would be the right day.
But then there are 50-50 chances of false +ve/-ve and actual result.

I read on one of the web-sites that since embryo is already inside the uterus - we all a technically pregnant :p - reading that put a nice smile on my face . :lol:

Hi everyone,

welcome priya and Jaz, I'm Kerry. I live near Chester in England.

I had a nice day with my neice yesterday, we took a nice walk to our local shops and watched dvds and pretty much chilled. I also sent my neice with my husband to do some food shopping. Luckily he bought lots of goodies.

Today I feel like I'm having my first down day, I was afraid it would come and I dont know why I feel like this. My breasts are really sore and I wish it was because I am pregnant but hey its just too early.

I spoke with my sister today and asked her when she did her first test following ET. She had her embryo put in on a saturday the same as me and she first tested the following saturday and got a negative but then left it to the tuesday and got a really good positive. I'm going to try to leave it to sunday or monday, but I'm going crazy.

My friends are taking me to silly billies today, a childrens play area, probably not the best place but her two sisters are coming so we'll catch up and it atleast gets me out of the house.

My urine test is supposed to be on the 1st of august too.
I hope your all feeling well today, take care
Kerry x

Hey Kerry:
Hope u r feeling fine now.
Glad to hear you had a nice time with you niece yesterday.
Have u tried acupuncture? If not try it I have heard its relaxing and will help take your mind off things. I am going to have the first session today - will let you know how it goes.
Try not to worry (yeah right !!!!) - everything will be fine :) - I am rooting for everyone at this side of the world.
A big hug for you :P
I know this waiting period is a killer - I have taken off work and am going crazy as well here .....
lots of love to everyone:
Priya
