Hello ladies.. I've been on statue duty even holding in the pee... I had ET on Monday so today makes 48 hrs of bedrest that have been driving me crazy!! I already want to POAS, I won't, but it's a thought.
I had a Day6 transfer and put back 2, yes two, excellent blasts. Think a Day 6 was not a good idea? It has me a little confused but the embryologist said they were beautiful, ofcourse, I got pics. I hope it really does improve my chances. I put two hoping one will stick and now the idea of having them both stick is much more exciing than I even knew. I have BETA on the 31st, 8 days away. It's sooo loooong..... well, I'll be POAS soon, I just know it.

ndgo2-- I drank lots and lots of gatorade and soy protein shakes. I got very bloated, couldn't bend or drive right but it was tolerable. You're doing great!!! Grow follies grow... Don't worry about numbers, I was told I had 13 and they took 22 at ER. Besides, we only need one.

venus25---Great news! Are you resting? These are them, these are the little sticky beans you've been waiting for. Tell them to hang on and grow, grow grow. Now you're PUPO.
So will you be POAS? C'mon, I need a buddy. My DH has prevented it, but I'm ging to do it anyways. It'll be our little secret :twisted: I can't wait, or don't want to.

Thanks ladies! I'm so excited!!

babyscoming - ha ha ha... You're funny. I'm sorry - although I'd love to be your "partner in crime," I'm not going to POAS. I know it's soooooooooo hard but I would just question any result I got and drive myself crazier:) So hang in there!! (However, if you POAS - definitely tell us!!!!) :D

Hey guys,
Congratulations Venus that's great!!! I had an 8, and a 6 and a 5 cell transferred - and it worked for me! I hope your other ones keep going and make it to frosties :)

Babyscoming, Congratulations to you as well!! That's funny that u were even trying to hold off on peeing! Glad you got to put 2 beautiful blasts back, that's great! :)

ndgo - I hope it's not too much longer for you now, so you don't have to be so uncomfortable. Just think, by the end of next week I expect you'll be PUPO too!!

Jennifer - glad your follies are behaving and growing nicely! Maybe just one more week then!

Rosario - yay for starting stims!!! Hope that all looks good at your appt. on Saturday, keep us posted.

Well, I am just waiting the enormously long wait until my first ultrasound! Still, I am down to 6 1/2 days now!! Am sooooo tired, it's only 8.30pm now, but I didn't get a chance to get any kip today, so think I'm going to pack myself off to bed early. Ah, lovely!

Just an update:
This is day 6 stimming and my US didn't show anyhting new...looks like the right ovary has about -8-9 follies and they continue to grow, with the largest one at 12 so far. My left ovary isn't really doing too much - not sure we'll get anything from that side. My E2 was at 430 as of yesterday. Does anyone know of that's good?

They have me going in every day for blood and a sonogram every other day.


This is our last try with my own eggs - fingers crossed everyone...

Quick update- I had b/w u/s today and they saw a couple 20mm follies, some at 17,15,13. My e2 level yesterday was 1800+. I've been doing this since the 13th and I've just about had it. The re said I'm close- wtf!!!
Close? Come on man. They should have stimmed me at regular dose then I would have been ready last week.
Anyway I have to wait and see what they say later on today.

Good Luck ladies :(

O.K. so I just talked with the re and she said
my e2 level was 3500 or something and that I
will be triggering this Saturday and ER should be Monday :)
I was so stressed out about this long wait that I
started to doubt my chances of getting a BFP but I need
to just calm down.

Plus I'm a newport girl and have'nt
seen a cigarett in like five months :wink:

Wish me Luck. :D

Hi ladies! All is well here. Just hanging out in my 2ww and talking to my 3 embies :oops: I can't help it. I didn't get a call from the lab today about my remaining 3 embies in the lab :roll: so I don't know if they made it to being frosties. I left a message so I'll hear back on Monday. I am honestly just more focused on the three embies in my uterus!!!! :D

Jude - that is so awesome about your BFP and transferring 3 like me! It gives me even more hope!!! Hang in there on waiting for your u/s - it is just a few days away!!

ndgo82 - Hang in there girl and good luck on Monday with ER!!! I know you have waited awhile. Enjoy being shot free on Sunda!!

babyscoming - congratulations on transferring the 2 blasts!!! Fingers crossed for your beta test on 7/31 (mine is the next day)!!

steph2, Jennifer, and Rosario - good luck with the stimming! Keep us updated. Jennifer, the 13 follies sound great. You're getting there. Stay positive.

Hoping to soon join you BFPs!!!! How did your u/s go Bella 123? You have another one next Thursday??

Have a great weekend!

Hi guys,

Just another update: looks like my strong start may not end in a strong finish... My HCG should be tomorrow with retrieval on Wednesday and I only hav emaybe 4-5 on the right side that will be at 17+mm come retreival time and none on the left. I have lot of follies on the both sides but the left especially are very small. They did say it is possible to get mature eggs from small follies. I'll keep you updated.

It's in God's hands....

Hi ladies!

I haven't been around lately...just trying to catch up with life :) I am doing well, still have cramping , not as bad as it has been, and i am utterly exhausted! I took a nap last night at 6:30 until 8 then went right back to bed at 10 :) I have my second US Wednesday , we should get to see the heartbeat :) I an soooooooooo excited!!! We had one 10 days ago and saw the sac and the yolk, too early for the heartbeat. the re also said my ovaries were still quite full of fluid and boy she is right, I have a little pouch that has not gone away since transfer. Oh well, its just going ot be getting bigger for much better reasons right? :)

Jude - you have been waiting for what seems like forever for your US! i am so excited it is this week for you! woo hoo How is your cramping? Have they subsided a bit?

ng- good luck! You will do great!

jennifer - i know its hard, but it only takes one! you never know what they find once you are in there for ER!

rosario - i was pretty lucky, I didn't bruise very much but it did hurt on whatever sided I used until I came back to that side. contact your re just to make sure to ease your mind. we have enough stress, you don't have to worry about anything extra :)

venus - congrats and take it easy!!! woo hoo

babyscoming - good luck to you and pamper yourself

anyone else stimming, hang in there you are almost there!!!!

love to all!
