Good Morning Ladies... I am only 2dp5dt and I am already feeling all the anxiety. I can not believe time seems as it is keeping still. DH and I plan to go out today but otehr than that i do not have much planned. I am hoping work next week will keep my mind on something else.. Yes I am claiming it, PUPO. My beta is in 8 days on a Sunday and I am SOOOO looking forward to it. Any others out there in the 2WW, does your clinic have you on any meds? I am taking E2 pills twice a day and proj inserts. What are youladies doing to stay busy and tp keep your mind on whats going on inside?
Tris I was also discouraged when I found out the numbers, but you only need one good egg for a pregnancy. I had 13 follicles going in and only came out with 5 mature eggs. It will work out, just have hope.
Emfossum and Tris22, good luck on your ET today. Now you can join the 2WW with us anxious women...LOL

tris22 When i went for ER i also only got 8 eggs retrieved! To top everything all eight got fertilized so stay positive. You will be just fine! How many follies did you have?
Guys as for me I am having ET tomorrow at 9am. Nurse says there the doctor will decide how many to transfer. I am hoping i can convince him to do at least 4. God knows that if this doesnt work I probably wont be able to do another cycle for a very long time. I am staying very positive though. I feel very good about all this. Pray for me guys. I will probably update you guys tomorrow after ET!

Rosario - My ER was Mon, and ET was today, and they refer to that as 5DT. So I am pretty sure day of retrieval doesn't count. How are your 8 embies doing?
Tris - Congrats on your ER. More always sound better, but all you really need is a couple of good ones.
Well I am officially on the 2ww. We transferred 4 blasts this morning. They are planning to freeze 1 today, and maybe some more tomorrow. My clinic is super strict about bedrest. I can only get up to go to the bathroom. It makes it hard to type because I need to be completly flat.
Elizabeth - wow, 4 blasts! That's a high number for a first ET. I've heard CCRM has a tendency to do this to increase their success rates and thus has a high percentage of multiples. Are you OK with multiples? Also, did you have to go down to Lone Tree for your ER and ET?
Only 2 days until my beta! We postponed our camping trip in order to get some housework done. It's not keeping my mind occupied very well though!

I had my ER today. 11 eggs retrieved. 10 look good according to embryologist. ET 13th.
ROSARIO - Good stuff! Like you, I am wondering about doing 4. Although I want to have a few frosties just in case, and am thinking only half the frosties will make it to ET. Big decision.
EMFOSSUM - Well done - Neat DNA! Credit to you and DH. You might have to do us a post of your healthy lifestyle!
NY4THTRY - seems there are alot of us in our 40s doing well in this thread - dont give up!
TRIS22 - good luk with BETA. What a month!
TRUEBELIEVER - Good luck with patietience in the 2ww. (congrads on the PUPO just quietly!)

Hi everyone,
This seems like a good place to be since I'm new to forums and IVF. Just completed our first cycle. I am also waiting for my beta results. I am using a progesterone supplement as part of a study. I am really hurting too. My abdomen is swollen and bloated - a lot! We had a total of 20 eggs, 13 fertilized and only 6 made the final cut. They transferred 2 4-celled embryos on Friday. Has anyone had any success with progesterone? I've had 2 miscarriages (one at 13 weeks, one at 4 weeks) and been TTC for over 9 years. So, we have a lot riding on this one. I'm trying hard not to be too optimistic or pessimistic about it, but it's so hard. I didn't think I'd be so obsessed so soon. But, it could be hormones, or the discomfort or combos of all of it. I am def stressed right now and trying to rest at the same time. Does anyone else feel like a reproductive lump???
