Hello Ladies,

Oh JDC I am so sorry to hear. It just breaks my heart. But it will happen. You made it so much farther this tiem taht next tiem your body knows what to do and it work. I just know it.

to_have_fin, Kas, and Muggsey- Good luck tomorrow on the big day. We will be getting big BETA's to add to Toobees great BETA.

WOOHOOO TOOOBEE great BETA.

MuchHope- what hopping fresh young eggs you will have. Better get ready for twins!!!!

Stefanie- You much be elated and on just beside yourself...TWINS....that is so exciting.

Val- you get o kick off the week with your fabulous upcoming BETA.

For everyone else in 2WW I hipe you are holding up well.

I passed my last cycle in stim days today..thank goodness. I may trigger tomorrow(I hope not and don't see how). I know have 4 16.7mm-15mm and 5 14mm-13mm, and 2 12mm's and 3 11mm. So I am hoping to plump up those 13 and 14's so I need a good 2 more days secrectly I am hoping for a sunday trigger but think I will make it til then. Oh and my e2 wet from 788 yesterday to 1434 today YAHOO. Last cycle my e2 was only 750 at trigger so this has to be the time.

Back to work, I missed half a day today because of AP, which for the first time ever did not hurt, waht a pleasant surprise.

Have a great day!!!

Hello wonderful ladies!!

Stefanie Another set of twins on our thread! HOOORAAY! I know you will only be relieved when you see two strong heartbeats and you will soon, by next week for sure. Stay relaxed as those babies are growing beautifully!! :D :wink:


Mztia~ I hope you get to trigger on Sunday as well. You are doing terrific and know that your baby is one of them!! Soon, you'll be in the 2ww! :D

Lynnie~ I hope you get three as well. I've been in your shoes and know how it feels. But you'll do fine and will have strong embies!
I'll keep you in my thoughts!

JJJake~ I'm so sorry you're feeling so down. But you have to try and stop crying because you're not helping yourself. Why didn't you write to us soooner, we could have lifted your spirits. There's no sense in going through this alone! This is why you joined the thread isn't it?
Chin up, you are PUPO!! And if you don't have symptoms, look at Toobee and what a fantastic beta she got!!
Big hugs...

Amanda~ Don't listen to your friends...boy, they're not very supportive, are they? If you feel queasy, it's because you're pregnant and the cramps are a good sign too.
If you feel pregnant it's because you probably are! Be strong...one more day to go! I understand how you feel though as it is hard to hang on to our PMA and to believe 24/7 that we are prego. We want it so much that we fear to get hurt if we get to confident in what we feel!

Horsegrl~ You'll be following in Toobee's footsteps and have a great beta!

Much Hope~ You are a sweetheart and have such a wonderful outlook, I can only wish you the best. I've enjoyed your company so much on this thread and all your posts made me feel good!

Chris, Muggsey and Kas~ Best of luck on your betas tomorrow and I cross my fingers and toes for 3 BFPs!!

As for me, everything is going fine. The cramps are different for the past 36 hrs, more like AF...which is good. Twinges and pulls here and there and of course back pain to go with it.
The hunger is the biggest challenge. I am basically hungry ALL THE TIME from 10am on to bed time and sometimes I go to bed still hungry but I figured that I've eaten plenty in one day. I don't know how many I'm feeding down there :D but all I can say is that they're eating fast. :shock: Temp is staying around 99F except a little lower in the am.
The burping keeps going real strong.
My AP was surprised that I felt prego so soon after transfer. But today during my session I think she was convinced that I was as I had strong, good reactions to the needles. It was very interesting to feel.
The needles hurt quite a bit going in which is very unusual and made bigger than usual red circles on my skin. She liked seeing that.
She put one on the top of my head and it felt like my heart was in my head and told her what I felt. She said that is what that needle was for, to hold the baby in and it is normal for me to feel that.
Anyway, it made me feel real good that she felt good about my outcome.

Than you ladies for being here and being so supportive, it has made this whole journey so comforting and such a pleasure! I am grateful to all of you!!

Hey Val

You know what i have no idea how and why I would allow myself to get to such a deep dark place. I think I've taken this whole procedure for granted, and did not understand how heavy all of this could feel. Since the ER everything became very real for me. My thoughts went from "I'm having another baby for my DH" to WOW I'm about to be a mommy again. Then the fear that I may not be able to give him the baby he wants so much and the child I now desire just as much as he and maybe even more.................OK that ends my SOAP BOX :lol:

Your right also VAL: I joined the forum for a reason, but for some reason I ended up wanting to be alone and even from my Husband......But I'm over it... I feel good ....I'm not going to define every little wiggle or bubble or pain I feel. I'm just going to enjoy the moment. :D

Val you talked of a website that shows the development of embryo's. Do you remember the site?

Yes, here it is!! I also posted it as a separate thread so that everyone can enjoy it.
Hope you like it!

I'm glad that you feel better emotionally. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by all our feelings and our first instincts are to go hide somewhere. Glad you're back!

I've taken a week off on purpose. I'm taking it easy to give this pregnancy all the chances it deserves. I'm supposed to go back to work next week but evil hurricane Ike will put a big damper on my plans! It's a mean hurricane and so far heading for south Florida...scary! Just like the 2ww, one day at a time. Perhaps in 2 days the forecast will be better!!

love,

Val

THANKYOU TO ALL MY PMA BUDDIES FOR YOUR CONGRATS!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am going to write peronals later tonight cause I just wanted to say thanks to all the ladies who made a shout out to me about my BFP.....I know some of us had bad news the last few days..some of us are nervous about their up and coming betas...and some of us who are celebrating. I was apprehensive to post my results as first, because I know some of you are devasted, but I also know some of you, who are in their 2ww, could use a pick me up.

I am so grateful to all and any of you who sent me good vibrations, when I needed a pick me up. Thankyou all. This whole IVF process was a rollercoster, but even if I had a BFN today...I would hve been ready to plan another cycle. Cause I really believe I will have a child. Now I need more support then ever because this part will be the hardest part for me. I am cautiously excited...I hope to make it to that critical 3 month mark with your help and support...and I apologize in advance for any freak-outs I may have between now and then :lol: :lol:

My next milestone is to hit around 1500 at my next beta...thats what they are hoping to see. They told me I am considered 4 months today.

Laslty, I am so stoked ladies.....My progesterone was reduced to .25 cc, down from .50 cc......And I am taking 1/2 the dose of estrace
ME: 39 DH: 46 :) TTC for 8 years
3 miscarriages (concieved naturally)
3 blasts transferred - 1st IVF - BFP !!
Beta 1,2,3 = 497 /4056 /16,896 - TWINS!

Muggsey, Kas and Chris~ Just to say that I"m thinking about all of you and I know you are probably not concentrating on work right now...just waiting for that beta and the hours are not going fast enough.
Did any of you POAS before their official test?

I hope we get 3 more BFPs...Sending you tons of baby dust!

I skipped work today. DH was already taking the day off so I decided to do the same thing. I POAS this morning and still BFN. Pretty much not a lot of hope at this time. I used first response so I should be seeing something by now. Now just waiting for the dreaded call. I am all right with it. I will just move on to the next cycle. Will post later after I get the call.
