Anyone transferring early in August??

[Biddy]

Welcome Monica! Yes, the 2WW is awful! It is ok to go a bit nutty - you are amongst good company believe me!! I have sore boobies and the odd bit of crampy uterus, but thats all.

Emfossum - I put you wrong, sorry. Beta is 22/8!!!! I am going to go to local GP and do a urine test next week (probably every day of the week!!!!!)

[TrueBeliever]

Good Morning Ladies, I like emfossum have been dying to POAS. I have to admit, I feel victim this morning. I used an EPT Certainty digital test and it came back POSITIVE Oh my word, is this really true?? I only have 2 days until beta and trying not to get overly excited until I hear some good numbers. I have not told DH yet, think I will wait to retest tomm and show it to him to see his reaction. Emfossum, you probably can go ahead and POAS today, or at least in the morning. Rosario, I would wait until about Sunday.

Ladies I know whatever part of the progress you are in can be very stressful, and I am living proof that it is easier said than done to keep your mind off the situation or testing. It will get better, the Lord has a plan for us. I am praying for self and each lady on this thread. It is time for our BFPs and Healthy Babies!!!

[Biddy]

OMG
truebeliever - thats fantastic!!! Congradulations!!!!

[emfossum]

Here I am again...up at 4:30 in the morning. I wake and cannot for the life of me get back to sleep. Last night I had a lot of cramping, and this morning I feel fine. My bb's are not as sore so that really scares me. As the days pass I becsome more and more petrified to test. I want to test, but I really don't think I could handle any bad news. I am trying so hard to have PMA, but I am just so darn scared.

On a brighter note CONGRATS truebeliver, you are PREGNANT!!!!
Totally trust that test, especially this close to your beta date. I would!!!
I am so happy for you! I might get up enough guts to test, I am just not as confident for the last couple of days. I need to practice my deep breathing and just have faith.

Welcome fullofhope2!!!- That is great that we share the same ET date at the same clinic. Who performed your transfer? Funny because my DH recognized the same man in the waiting room from the ER, and I think that might have been your DH. Are you planning to POAS soon?

Hi Everybody...

Gosh, its only three days away, my Beta that is, but its just killing me.

I am not exactly sure of what POAS stands for but from its context, I am assuming it is an HPT. Elizabeth, like you, I just don't think I could stand any bad news so I am going to hold out for the Beta. Weekends normally pass pretty quickly and with my husband around, I am sure that we will cram lots of activities into the weekend to make it so.

Elizabeth, my doctor was Schoolcraft and we really liked him. We were encouraged when he told us that we had 10 embryos, all perfect for transfer. We transferred two and are hoping and praying that they stick like glue. Funny it is, when we came in for my transfer, we saw a man sitting in the WR and it must have been your DH, though I was told that there were 3 transfers that morning. Who was your Doc? Were you happy with your care there?

I am a little concerned that I have not been tested for my E2 or P4 levels. How do they know that they are where they should be to support a pregnancy???

Also, I am a little concerned that I still do not have any real symptoms. But I guess that it is still very early and everyone is different....

All of you Ladies now have one more hopeful praying that our little embies stick ;o)

[chenry4413]

Hi All,
Just got news that 2 d5 embies (I presume they are blasts) passed PGD and they are going to transfer them today. I asked about the quality and he said that they are "okay".. not the best but definitely worth transferring. I'll take that! I know that 1 of my previous MC would not have been caught in the PGD screening so I am entering this with a hopeful yet realistic mindset.

Great news Truebeliever!

Goodluck to everyone. I know many of you are in your 2ww. Just keep busy and take it easy!

[Rosario]

alimoyni I took Ovidrel to trigger. I dont know if it was a booster or something else. All i know is that I did take a HPT after retrieval and it was negative. I did it so when I POAS and saw a "+" (if thats the case) i dont go crazy thinking if it was the Ovidrel or a real positive.

Truebeliever Congrats on your positive. Enjoy the next 9 months =] Pass some baby dust to all of us ok?

As for me... I had severe back pain the first couple of days. Nothing major though. Some cramping but today at work it was the worse. I was doing much to have the cramps but then again i thank god i have them right? Cramping = good sign. Since i got my 15 HPT test and beta will be next week Sat I will start POASing... I rather know before hand if i am preggos or not. I cant stand the fact of thinking the nurse would give me bad news if there is any. My boobs are sore sometimes. Is that something i should worry about. I did b/w at work since my clinic doesnt check after ET and my progesterone was 19 (i think) and E2 was in the 130s. I hope they are good numbers. Well lets hope these embies are digging deep inside so they stick well hehe. Good luck to all and I am so sorry i am not doing personals. Just know i have all of you guys in my mind.

[emfossum]

Three days and counting!!! I think I may POAS on Sunday morning, at least that is my plan. Most of us on not in our right minds in our 2ww so anything can happen. LOL

Fullofhope2 - We had our ET at 9:15 that morning. We were there at 7:30 because I had pre and post AP. So it may have been my DH in the WR. Another coincidence is that I also had 10 fertilized embies, and Dr. Schoolcraft must have been doing all the transfers that day. My RE is Guftason, but they are work as a team. I also think very highly of the staff, the facility, and the treatment. I will be happier if this was successful. I guess it would be nice to know exactly what our levels are right now, but I trust they know what they are doing. I am taking Vivelle and pio caps so I assume that is enough to support the pregnancy. I also had a 14mm lining so I think that was pretty good, and my E2 was almost 1600 after my trigger. I am trying to keep a PMA today because the last couple of days have been running me ragged. How are you feeling? Oh and thank you for the prayers, I'll send some your way as well.

Rosario - So sorry about the darn cramps, and back ache. I hope you get some relief soon! You will forget about it when you get your BFP!

Talk with you all soon... sending all of you lots of love.

[fullofhope2]

Hi All!

Congrats Truebeliever - so great to hear and so encouraging! Hope your baby dust spreads this way too ;o)

Chenry - hope your transfer went great today. If you are day 5, then they are truly blasts - congrats - please keep us posted!

Elizabeth - What a very small world...I had my transfer at 9:45 to accommodate my pre and post AP too. I am on PIO, Vivelle, and Estrace and spoke to my nurse today who said that b/w the Estrace and Vivelle, I am for sure receiving enough E2. And as for my P4, she said that given that I have had no problems absorbing it, she expects that my levels on Monday will be good. You have some great numbers...all the better for those little embies of yours!!!

I am feeling just fine and really have no symptoms at all. From time to time, I feel some very very mild cramping but thats it. I spoke to a friend of mine who is preggers with triplets through CCRM and she said that she too had no symptoms for the first few weeks. Between her and my nurse who said that it is also normal to not have symptoms (as it is to have them), I was totally reassured.

I am so glad the weekend is here so that I can relax with my DH and try not to think too much about Monday's test.

Praying for all of us....

They are studying two forms of progesterone supplements - a gel and a vaginal ring. The gel has already been approved by the FDA, but the ring, which is a time released progesterone, has not been approved in that form. So, I am doing the ring and it's ok so far. I am having a tough time with the TWW. I go Tuesday for my beta and I am so worried it is going to be negative. I just don't have any "feelings" like it worked. I don't know. I hope I am really wrong. Not feeling quite so hopeful...I guess this is fairly normal on the in vitro roller coaster, huh?

[fullofhope2]

Hopeful in Virginia,

Don't be discouraged....I have had relatively no symptoms and my Beta is on Monday. I today asked my nurse if that is normal and she said yes. I also spoke to my friend who is expecting triplets from IVF and she too said that she felt nothing until a few weeks after she knew she was pregnant. Stay hopeful and positive so that you can exude good energy on those embies of yours....

[HopefulinVA]

Thanks for the encouragement. I guess it's just tough not to let doubt slip in. It's so cute that you and others call them embies. That's what I call them too, and didn't even know anyone else used that! I think that's adorable! It is great to be able to be candid about this stuff with folks that truly understand! Thanks again!!

[emfossum]

Good morning, well I think I got 5 whole hours of sleep. Maybe my body is preparing me for those early morning feedings.


Ndgo82- How are you feeling and when is your next beta?

Truebeliever - Can't wait to get your beta numbers!! You are so close.

Fullofhope2 - The issue with my strange symptoms are that they may be symptoms from the Vivelle, and pio caps. I found out early when I was pregnant with my dd and I had completely different symptoms. So I would have to agree that it doesn't only vary about symptons from some to none, but for each pregnancy. So the wait continues....aargh.

Ronnie- Hope you are sleeping better.

Alimoyni- Wishing you luck. Stick embies stick!

Biddy - I hope you are taking it easy and not working the sheep during this time.

Triss22 - Your almost there. Sending you sticky thoughts.

Rosario - I really hope your back eases up soon.

Hopefulinva- I understand your worry, I change my thoughts from positive to negative every day. Today I am choosing to be positive. I still don't think I will test until tomorrow.

Sha1 - Hoping you are doing well.

Chenry4413- I read your story on another post and appreciate you sharing. Your odds are so much better because of the testing. We ended up transferring 4 because of the likeliness of chromosonal problems just due to age. Do you know if they offer PGD on frozen embies? We may want to use those in the future unless we have twins.

[HopefulinVA]

Thank you as well for the words of encouragement. My mood swings hourly it seems - I'm up, I'm down, like a yo-yo. But alot of that is probably the progesterone pumping into me or being nervous about the beta test on Tues. I don't think I'm going to POAS. I didn't the first time I did in vitro (in 2005). I think I can wait, although it is driving me nuts!!!! But on a positive note...i pray that we all get sticky embies and healthy babies too!!

[alimoyni]

I wasnt going to POAS, but my beta is on Friday and I dont want to get the call at work and be upset if its negative, so I will test that morning or thursday so I am more mentally prepared.

Take a nap emfossum

Good luck to everyone whose betas are coming any day now!!
