Congratulation Smiles!! I think it could be twins. I did my beta today and it was 51. I had ET on 8/23.

MzTia
- Glad things are going more smoothly this cycle. I was much more relaxed this cycle. your follies sound good.

Amanda -
I keep having AF like cramps. The doc said that it was my uterus making room for the baby. Good luck!!

horsegrl - Thanks! Keep the PMA. Now I have to worry about Hanna messing with my vacation in Orlando :(

msfixit, Chris, toobee, and valerie - Thanks!!

kerpupples- Congrats on being PUPO!! Hope your 2ww flies by for you.

Renee
- I never had enough for a frozen as each cycle I only had 2 that made it to transfer. The second cycle worked for me.

Well, I better get packing. We have to get up early to get to the airport. Don't know if I will be able to chat with you while on vacation. I can read the message on my phone though. Good luck everyone!! Lot of sticky dust to everyone!!

Smiles - Congrats on your BFP. You have now given me a little bit of encouragement. I have been POAS'ing and still am getting a negative. I have my Beta on Friday so now I have a little more hope then I did before reading your post. I think you have a good possibility for twins but I have also seen ladies have beta's in 800 range and only have a singleton.

Turtles - Have fun on your vacation. Hope Hanna stays away and doesn't ruin anything for you.

MzTia - Sounds like you have some really good follies growing. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

horsegrl - Glad to see you are hanging in there on the 2ww. I now do believe that the 2nd week is the hardest.

Amanda - Glad to see you are a little more chipper. I also had AF like cramps on Monday and Tuesday. I also had some brownish discharge (sorry if TMI). I have not had any issues today. Will be praying for a BFP for you on Saturday.

Msfixit - Seems some else has found the free smily page. I just love smileys. I think that is just my nature, as you may be able to tell with my screen name to_have_fun (actually I was thinking of vacation when I came up with my screen name) I also have had some form of the word crazy on my email address and every license plate that I have had since I was 19. I just like smile and having a good time. Well, I guess that is enough about me. Good luck on ER. Can't wait to see how many eggies you get.

to_have_fun - YEAH! I just love that smiley page! Thanks for sharing :D . Aren't they fun? ;)
What you described - the AF like cramps with a brownish discharge around 10 days past ovulation - are the CLASSIC symptoms of implantation!! :lol: I think you're going to get great news on Friday :)
Thanks for the well wishes for my ER. I'm starting to freak out about possible OHSS. I have 17 follicles and I have PCOS, so I'm at a high risk for it. Keeping fingers crossed... :?

turtles - Ahhh to enjoy vacation knowing that you're preggers... What a feeling! :)

Toobee~ OK girl, it's time to bring it on!!! I wish you a BFP tomorrow on your beta and I hope your dream will come true. Sending you all the sticky baby dust!! You're in my thoughts...everything I can think of is crossed for you!!

Smiles~ Fantastic first beta for you!! Congrats to you on being prego!! And yes, it could be twins. At 14dpo, that is really,really good. :D :D But it could be a singleton as well. One way or the other it is just fabulous!! And you are also proof that those HPTs are just evil for not showing a line when you are definitely prego!!

Chris~ I'm glad that Smiles' story gave you hope and I believe that you could very well be knocked up!!

Mztia~ You're doing great...keep going like that. Your number went up real well and you've got good follies! I'm real happy for you! :D

Amanda~ I'm so glad you're having cramps and that's a good sign :wink: I transferred the day after you and will test on Sept. 8.
I do think I'm prego, maybe with more than one, indeed!
Many women complain of cramps before they get their BFP. it's a VERY common sign and I don't think progesterone does that. I took it for 4 days before transfer and felt absolutely nothing, zippo.
Keep the PMA... :D

Renee~ I agree with Chris. FET can do better because your body is not on all the hormones. But your clinic should have a good record before attempting to do it there. So I would choose the fresh cycle over a FET if their stats are better for fresh.

kerpupples~ Hooray for being PUPO now. Sounds like you transferred some real nice embies. Welcome to the 2ww and wish you a BFP!

As for me, well still the same...more of the same symptoms. I can say that I've never felt so hungry in my life. I could eat all the time. Whatever I eat, an hour and a half later, I'm starving like I hadn't eaten in 2 days. I can't wait to see my number next Mon. :D :D

Hope you all have a good night and I'll catch you tomorrow!

Much love to all

to_have_fun Unfortunately you will have to change my smiley face to a sad face. I found out today that my pregnancy is not viable as there is no visable embryo or heartbeat. I am at 6weeks 6days. I will await my phone call to schedule a d&c because I don't have it in me to wait for a natural miscarriage as that could take weeks.

I wish everyone on this board the best, many of you I consider my friends. I will stick around to see all of those future BFP's!

JDC - I DON"T WANT TO CHANGE YOUR SMILEY FACE!!!. This just is not fair. I am so sorry that your pregnancy didn't work out for you. I know this must be really hard for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your DH.

JDC~ I'm so sorry sweetie... :cry: I'm so very sad for you!.....
But the good thing is that you know you can get pregnant. That is what kept me going and gave me wonderful PMA for this cycle.
I know I will see you on this board again real soon and I'll be your biggest cheerleader!!

I hope the D&C goes well and wish you a prompt recovery.
I know that one day soon you will be a Mommy.
You will be in my thoughts and I'm sending you great big hugs !!

Lots of love to you!

((((JDC)))) (That's a big hug in boardspeak).

So sorry to hear the news. It's such a big disappointment at the U/S when you are hoping to see that heartbeat. Val is right, at least you have made it 1 step further in the process. Wishing you luck with the D&C and your grieving process.
