NY4thtry- You still have some time before your beta, don't give up. I know a positive htp would be awesome right now, but there has been many false negs. I supppose it is a natural way to prepare, but don't give up. What test did you use? I am glad that your DH is hanging in there. We are here for you as well. Thinking of you and wishing you good thoughts.

Biddy- That is a great number. I hope all fertilize! We decided last night to transfer 4, but it is such a hard decision. I studied all the stats that I could find, and because of age alone we opted for 4. Good luck on your decision.

- It is so interesting how different clinics view bedrest. My instructions are super stringent for 2 days. I can't be in reclining position until tomorrow i need to lie flat oron my side, even meals are bedside. I can only get up to go to the bathroom. I suppose when you invested what we do on this procedure I will suck it up and lie down.

Funny chain of events in my life since last year. I ran the NY marathon in November and qualified for the Boston, I road bike race, and generally I rarely sit around because I love almost anything physical. These days my activity is operating the remote, and typing on my computer. I don't think I could handle this bedrest for too long or I would go insane. It is kind of depressing and I keep having to remind myself that all of this change is worth it. We also have to be prepared for multiples and this alone could change our lifestyle even more.

Kerpupples- Yes, we went to lonetree for both...Dr. Schoolcraft performed the transfer. That facility is amazing...they treat you like royalty. They give us reccomendations, but it was completely up to us. I will be 41 next month, so 3-4 is standard. I would love twins, but only God knows at this time. Wow- your beta is almost here. Sending you good thoughts!

your fert reports are great.

Welcome hopefulinva!! Glad you joined us, and you hit the nail on the head - i do feel like a lump. What is this study?

emfossum,
Now you are in 2ww. How is it going? try to relax and rest as much as u can. It will help. My beta is on Monday. I try to think about good things but my ind can't go anywhere else. I has a negative HPT yesterday 8dp3dt and it made me so sad. I don't think I am gonna hear good news on Monday. I wish you get BFP and lots of baby dust to you.

Yes, I feel and look 4 months preggie!

I know how you feel about going from over active to nought! My life on the farm until now has been daylight to dark. I have (had) muscles most men would die for! And now (at this minute) I cant even put a log on the fire! And here we are looking at planting 3 or 4 eggs with a high possibilty of multiples to look foward to.... Actually going into and thru this whole process was the hardest decision of my life, took the longest to make too!! But I've started it now, and I am comfortable with my decision. I am only 41 years young. Yes, I will be out of action for a couple of years. But I will be back with a vengenance!!

Yea I think we are all still bloated from the large ovaries and progrestrone. Hopefully its all worth it in the end.

Everyone seems to be doing really well, keep the PMA coming.

Just wanted to share my prior POAS experience.

During my last fresh cycle I POAS twice - once 7dp3dt and once 9dp3dt. First one was clearly -, second one was probably + but so faint I didn't believe it. I got a BFP at my beta! So please don't give up all hope if you get an initial BFN.

Lots of big ETs going on - sticky baby dust to all!
