jenolina: I am so sorry. I hope that everything works out and that you can figure out a way to try again. You will be in my thoughts.

Stephanie: Those are fantastic numbers! I hope you have a great, easy pregnancy.

Valerie68: Congrats! It sounds like fantastic news. Maybe you will even get pregnant with twins or triplets. My husband and I used to say twins would be great, if we had a boy and girl then we could just quit after that.

Kas101: I have my beta on Sept 3 and I have already been POAS. I haven't been able to help myself. I bought 7 tests and started taking them 5dp3dt. I know this is way to early but it gives me something to look forward to everyday. But on the other hand I have gotten all negatives so instead of making me feel better I have started doubting whether this cycle will work or not. Good Luck when you do POAS.

I am on my 7dp3dt and I will continue to POAS until Wed. I bought 5 dollar store tests and 2 first response. I have been using the dollar store tests the last 3 days but I think I will try the first response tomorrow. I looked up their sensitivity online and it said the dollar store detected 20 and the first response is 15-20. So I am hoping I will have better luck with it. Has anyone else found out this early with a hpt?

Good morning!!

Jenolina~ I was so sad to read about your BFN...made me cry. It is always so hard to receive such news. I hope you and DH get some time to grieve and feel better! I also wish you good luck and that you get to do it again soon. I hope you get to build a good life in CA and that DH finds a job real soon! A solution will come clear to you as time goes by. For now, just deal with this and don't think about the future, only when your heart has healed and your mind has cleared.
Best of luck and tons of hugs!!!

Shellbell~ I have never POAS in my life! I wish I could tell you something about them from experience. From what I read, you should start seeing something in the next day or so. Have you POAS again this morning? Have you had any symptoms?
I wish you the best and hope you get to see that second line real soon.

How is everybody doing? I was up at 4:30 this morning and could not go back to sleep. But I just took a nap and slept for 2 hrs. I'm having a little bit of cramping and some back pain...still very early though!
Anybody with symptoms? I'm just resting for now.

The thread is very quiet today...
Thinking about all of you!

Hugs,

Val

hi ladies..i haven't possted here in a while..finding that i'm so far behind this group (stimming late sept)..and just feeling kinda disconnected..i've been reading the posts, i've jsut missed so much it's hard to respond.

but i'm so happy to hear about the successes..and also sorrry for those who haven't realized their dream yet. i'm getting nervous, fearful, and excited as my stims approach.

anyways, i have a couple questions that i wonder if anyone here can help me with?.. i read your post stephanie about dhea, and looked it up. thanks so much for sharing that..

so i'm 36, have high FSH (day 3 good, day 10 at 11.2), but regular periods, normal estrogen levels. so do i have "diminished ovarian reserve" or "premature ovarian aging"??.. would DHEA work for me? as quite honestly- i want to run out today and buy some..i'll call my clinic on monday and ask, but i guess i really don't understand whether high fsh puts me in some other category that i don't know about..

and another question- is high FSh considered 'hormonal' or 'ovulatory' infertility?

any help would be greatly appreciated . love and baby dust, karen

Hey Guys,
Im back!! Hard to keep up with all the action going on here. Sounds like everyone is moving and grooving.

I am now 4dp5dt with 3 blasts. I had to take a break from the forum to adjust my MA. With my miscarriage history, I guess instead of feeling excitement like you all do after ET, I actaully felt a strong sense of fear and I had to really put myslef back together.

But I am back with a PMA and good loving vibes to send to all of you no matter where you are in your cycle.

At the moment I dont feel pregnant at all. I have had some twinges and very lught cramping and stuff, but its hard to know if thats from my PIO shots, estradoil pills, or just reccoping from ET still. I am not real worried at this point because I know some woman never feel anything and still get a BFP. But also because my outcome is out of my control so isnetad of worrying I have decided to fill my time up with wishful thinking.

Heres a pic of my 3 beans if you guys are interested. I use this pic to visualize with everyday and sned my 3 beans positive growing goodness. As you can see the bottom one was already hatching.

send good vibes and baby bust to all-

Toobee~ Sooo glad to see you back! Those are some beautiful blasts you have there. I asked for some pictures but my lab doesn't want to do that because it disturbs them too much.

Did you have symptoms during your previous pregnancies? I've heard that each pregnancy is different and that the same woman may not have the same symptoms each time. I hope I get some ....maybe not as bad as the first time, but something to give me a clue.

I'm so glad you have found your PMA again and that can only help your little beans!

Love and hugs,

Val

Shellbell It seems you are my partner in POAS!!!!

I am i day behind you in ER and ET and i bought a first reponse test, firstly to check that my trigger shot had gone (tested a few days ago and it was clear) and so that when/if i get a positive i wont be thinking its not real!!!!!

So i was planning to POAS tomorrow but as my DH pointed out - why wait??? If you want to, just do it, so i did and of course it was a BFN which i was expecting this early but i find it exciting to do it anyway!! It gives me something to do, stops me obsessing and hell, I've paid a LOT of money for this so why shouldn't i be the first to know!!!!

Are you having any symptoms yet? Personally i dont feel any different except the progesterone is making me break in pimples on my face and chest (yuk!!)[/b]

Hi Girls

I am finally off my 48 hours bed rest. It feels good to be out of bed. My beta will be next sat 9/6 and I can't wait. I'm not feeling any symptoms yet what about anyone else in the 2ww? Today I am 2dp5dt. Are any of you going to POAS? My DH doesn't want me to because of the chance of false positive or negative.

Toobee- Your blasts look beautiful. Maybe you will have triplets . I hope that this is your time and you get your BFP.

Jenolina, Much Hope and baby crazy - I am so sorry that you have to go through all of this and that you didn't get the BFP you deserve. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Val- How are you feeling after your transfer? Feeling any symptoms yet? I hope you are doing well. With such good blasts to transfer I am sure you will get a BFP.

Stephanie- Great beta numbes you are probably having 2 or 3.

To those stiming GROW GROW GROW.....

Go team August!

Hey Val- Good to be back

1st pregnancy that ended in m/c: I was 3 weeks late before I knew, and my bb's were so sore they hurt when I walked and I felt very full and tiredAlso, I could no longer button my shirts and that seemed to happen overnight. I had no symptoms. In fact is was my BF who told me I should test cause my BBs looked so huge ad she couldnt stop laughing. She was rght- We found out just before my Real Estate Exam- And oh, I was pg with twins, and if you saw how huge my boobs were you would have guessed it(i dont do real estate anymore, was a terrible sales person)

2nd pregnancy that ended in m/c:: Nothing until bbs were sore...and blaoted

3rd preganacythat ended in m/c:: unfortuantley this ws an eptopic and was quite dramatic....my symptoms where sore shoulders, arms, bleeding, cramps, and lethargy. I had emergency surgery for this one. I had classic symptoms or text book symptoms for an eptopic pregnancy, I knew before my Gyno did-

I have "O" symptoms, except for what I previosuly posted. I definelty do not feel pregnant.

valerie68 · Post by **valerie68** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 9:12 pm

Here are my symptoms from the first time.
Extreme tiredness, night sweats to the point that the sheets were wet, extreme thirst, tons of burping ( definitely not lady like ) elevated temp, orgasms in my sleep

( can never be unhappy for that one! ), towards the end of 2ww I was starving all the time and even raided my BF's fridge when I visited her, headaches, aversion to smells and sugar.

That is why I would say to DH that there was something seriously wrong with me if I was not prego.
Could it be because it was a chemical? I have no idea.

That's my experience so far.

Amanda~ Did you do a 3dt? If so, you would not feel anything yet, it's too soon...your embies would be about hatching now and then they start implanting...Good luck. Hope symptoms start showing up real soon.

Toobee~Thanks for sharing your symptoms! I would LOVE to get bigger boobs as I struggle to fill a 32 A, although they are slightly bigger than usual for the past week. I'll take it!

YEAH ! GO TEAM AUGUST !!

Val

toobee · Post by **toobee** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 9:21 pm

Sounds preggo to me! Boy that was reall quick Valerie! You were implanted yesterday right???

oragsms in your sleep???

Ya know I actaully read that its common for woman who are carrying twins! Gassines is also a sign, looking back i had that too. So sounds like your gonna get a BFP, maybe BFTP,(big fat twin or triplet posistive)

Some woman expereince symptoms the moment they concieve (or implanted in our case)

valerie68 · Post by **valerie68** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 9:25 pm

Toobee~ You must have read too fast, those symptoms were from the first time!

I'm still pretty much symptom free....twinges and back pain is all so far.

AmandaM · Post by **AmandaM** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 9:29 pm

Valerie

I did a 5 day transfer on Thurs. So today is day 2 post 5 day transfer.

Hey everyone,

My symptoms are that I have been extremely tired this past week. I ended up taking daily naps. I haven't been as tired today.

I also have sore BB. I have had some twinges/cramps. I am with you Kas with the pimples on the face. My skin looked great while on antibiotics now it is a mess

I don't have any idea what it all means. I am more relaxed this cycle, but I also can't concentrate on my homework.

I was trying to hold out POAS, but ended going for it today. Of course it was neg. but that was to be expected. I have a bunch of tests I ordered so I will probably try daily

toobee- Glad your back!! thanks for the great pictures. They are so cool to see. My clinic doesn't do 5 day so it is cool to see what blasts look like.

Karen - Great to hear from you. Sorry I can't help you with any of your questions. Hopefully someone else can.

jenolina - I am so sorry for your BFN. Big hugs to you and your DH. I hope you guys get settled in Cal. and your DH finds a great job. Take time to get your head strait and figure out the next step. Good luck and I'll pray for you.

karma_k- I try to always put heat on the spot afterward and this seems to help some. Hope that helps.

Well, better go try again to study. I have been trying to get laundry done in case we lose power from Hurricane Gustav. I have also been trying to straighten up some. We are expecting relatives to stay during the storm. At least 4 adults and 2 kids

It does look like it is going away from Mobile, but we will still feel the effects from it.

I feel bad because I keep thinking I hope this doesn't affect our trip

Valerie,
sorry bout that-- i just misunderstood-

toobee · Post by **toobee** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 9:40 pm

turtlesonastump

Glad you liked the pics- I was wondering wheter to post them, but thought ti may help some visualizze. Plus I think its kool to see what they look like at that stage---so wiered a baby can come from such an itty bitty thing

sorry bout those symptoms--- yuck, I think tired is the worst. Are you on PIO??? cause that can cause acne.

I woke up with a HUGE pimple on my lower cheek- and thats from the PIO think, cause my skin looked very clear, actaulyy great this whole time until the last two days. I m feeling more lazy then tired...hard to focus or concentrate cause I got my beans on my brain!!!

AUG/SEPT BUDDIES!
