Elizabethski: when was your ET again? (sorry, you have to refresh my memory!

) I had mine tuesday the 29....I am not feeling anything at all either, but I think it is still way too early. Don't forget, some people don't have any symptoms at all and still get BFPs! Think positive and keep yourself busy!

Hi ladies!
Well i've been up since 5:30 am cuz that's i when did my POAS: it was unbelievably POSITIVE!!!! I was SOOO surprised that i went to check it like 5 times and still have it sitting on the counter (kinda gross i know). i've never had that clear of a plus sign on ovulation kits either..told DH but he was fast asleep so I spent some time sharing at him in his sleep as i was overcome with love

...made us a nice breakfast and feel really good. anyway..i have my fingers crossed for tommorrow. I'm slightly worried still about AF like cramps...are these normal? No spotting tho'. My last shot in the behind is today whether i'm pg or not. my clinic changes to suppostories if beta +. I pay out of pocket, they're like $275, but who's counting. I think the worrying part is never over with IVF until our angel is in our arms. Thanks for thinking of me...i think about all of you guys too...wishing for much success for each and every one of you!!! Venus...can't wait to hear about you tomm! Jharris--one more week left!

New here, not IVF pro by now since we have done it several times.

I have PCOS, hubby has Male Factor.

ER 7/27, ET 7/30. RE grades embies 1-5 with 5 being excellent. We transferred 3 grde 5 embies yesterday. I am home in bed for the next week.

Any suggestions on this to do to increase our chances of it taking? What do I watch for?

Babyloves!!! CONGRATS!!!! I have been thinking of you and SOOOO happy for you! you must just be on cloud nine. Take today and just be with DH in all your glory! I hear that crampy AF feeling is common...AF just wont arrive so I wouldn't worry about it. Congrats again!

oh forgot. ER resulted in 16 of which 10 were fertilized. 3 were transferred. They are watching the remaining 7 to see if any will be blasts for freezing.

Baby - that is awesome - wow 2 bfps at shady grove so far!! Remind me did you do a 3 or 5 day. You put 2 in right? That is the first ive heard about sg switching to suppositories. Did your doc tell that? I asked the nurse a few weeks ago and said i had to keep doign the shots. I am so uncomfortable from them!!!!

First off...CONGRATULATIONS NicoleMarie...I think I missed your first post, but after reading everyone's comments, I realized...You are starting the ball rolling!!!
Venus and Babyloves...good luck tomorrow ladies. I'm feeling really good about all of our odds and you two deserve the BFPs
Welcome sweetmomi and onemorebaby...this post has been so helpful; I'm sure you'll agree
Hommy & Ndgo82-great numbers...odds look good
elizabethski173...maybe you won't even need frosties

jharris...i keep thinking I feel my embies snuggling, but who knows

I have been waking up often in the middle of the night ...any of you?
Let's refresh our memories for our betas...this coming week is going to be busy. Talk to you all soon
Beta: 8/6/08

Good Luck for all those beta's.
Congrats on those BFP'S

kim14 · Post by **kim14** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 9:49 pm

beta 8/11 - any of you running a slight fever? I am hovering around 99.

Oh I am so happy to read about BFP's!!!!! Babyloves, Huge Congrats to you and your hubbie!!! You are gonna be a mama in 9 months!!! How amazing that must feel!

RN2005: My ET was on Monday, the 28th, so it is still somewhat early for lots of symptoms..(or at least that is what I am telling myself!) Maybe we will both start having symptoms around the same time or perhaps we will be of the lucky group that never have any at all! When is your beta?

Ladies, we have so many beta's coming up, we need to keep a running tally:

Venus: TOMORROW!!! YIPPEE!! Babydust Babydust Babydust
Onemorebaby: August 7 (is that right?)
Elisabeth and Kim: August 11
JHarris and Hommy: When is yours?

I'm off to do a yoga cd that I just bought. I should finish it before my DH gets home because the instructor has a totally hot body and resembles more of a chipendale than a yoga teacher, but hey, the studio recommended it, so what could I do??!!!

ndgo82 · Post by **ndgo82** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 10:18 pm

I should be getting beta around August 11th also, but
after a five day transfer I'm not so sure.

babyloves · Post by **babyloves** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 11:11 pm

Thanks elisabeth, kim, ndgo82, antoak, rn2005! I'll feel more secure if tomm's beta is ++..will let u know.
Kim: yeah, sg has been strange...i called my RN linda (who's kinda flaky) today as i'm running low on prog whethter to order some shots, etc. She said that i could switch to supps if beta + tomm...i hope she's right. Anyway, still have a couple of doses of im prog left in case she was wrong. I must say i wouldn't mind the supps. Oh, i did a 3d and put in 2, don't think with my age they would have done more
sweetmomi: welcome! It sounds like u did really well with ET, etc..take it easy for the 1st 4-5 days..pineapple and its core i've heard are good for implantation. Some people like to talk to their embies which is cute!
elisabeth: the chippendale yoga CD sounds good

[/b]venus: still not POASing? good luck tomm!

I just wanted to crash your thread and say CONGRATS BABYLOVES !!!, sounds like a solid BFP coming your way tomorrow. There are no false positives....so get used to the idea of becoming a Mommy. So happy for you and look forward to seeing your beta tomorrow.

Kim14~ Just wanted to congratulate you on transferring two blasts and making it through all your ordeals. I've got my fingers crossed for you and wish you a BFP soon. The temperature could be caused by the progesterone or the fact that you're pregnant! My temp was up the last time too! Good luck and I'll keep checking on you.

I don't know the rest of you but wanted to wish you the best of luck and keep bringing good news. I want to see tons of BFPs.

Valerie

Valerie: thank you for kind words...i hope all that you said will come true. I really pray for you that this time you'll get your BFP!! You are such a kind and loving person, and really deserve to have a baby in your arms to give all ur sweetness too! Talk more on the other thread...

rn2005 · Post by **rn2005** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 12:20 am
