Ms. fixit! I would definitely call in and see what they think. I hope its not OHSS!

As for me I am in a bit of pain from my ER at 10:30. I have some pain meds and I am resting.

I had 6 follies, 3 good sized ones and 3 that were too small.

They only got 4 eggs. I REALLY hope it was from the good sized ones and not the small ones. I am guessing this means that 2 follies were empty! Oh boy! I was not happy to hear this of course.

So tomorrow I get the report, of the 4, how many were mature and if any made it to embryo status. I feel pretty down about this, esp when I heard them telling the woman next to me that they got 28 eggs. I just wanted to SCREAM! Egg jealousy ... oh brother!

lynnie~ I think you did sooo well. You knew that some of your follies were small. I know the eggs came from the big ones!!
And the fact that the other woman had 28 doesn't mean they were better than yours! Actually, that's a fairly high number. I'd rather have a lot fewer.
Get plenty of rest and I look forward for your embies report!
You and your embies are in my thoughts!!

msfixit - I am worried about you also since you mentioned you had shoulder pain. When I had my ectopic I had bad shoulder pain that I couldn't figure why it was hurting there. Well, I researched and found out that shoulder pain can mean internal bleeding. Now I know you don't have a ruptured tube, but maybe you have a little bleeding from ER. If you get any worse I would go to the emergency room. Take care of yourself.

Sorry can't do any more personals. I am exhausted from our day at disney. It did go a lot better than yesterday. My DS got to see the Power Rangers so he had an excellent day :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!

msfixit - I agree with turtles. I have endometriosis and on the day of ER my doctor found some endometriosis on my left ovary. He specifically made me stay longer after because of concern for internal bleeding. He said I would have shoulder pain if it were to happen. Please take care of yourself. It doesn't sound like fun.

Hi All

Just got back from the doctor. It will be another few hours before they call. The doctor said it was a good sign that AF didn't start yet. He said most people even on the hormones will still get it or at least spotting.


I will do personals later and tell ya'll my beta number. I am a little too anxious to write more now.

Amanda~ I've got my fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you!!
I understand your nervousness...we all do. Glad that you don't have any spotting yet!! I don't know why a lot of people say that you can't get AF while on hormones because many of us do.
I feel that you will get a BFP today...can't wait to hear from you! :D :D

I'm anxiously waiting for tomorrow! Still no sign of AF...no spotting, no nothing!! I would have started yesterday if was was to get it! That's a relief!
Lots of AF cramps at night though and that's good!

Bring us another BFP!!! Please! Image Image Image

Hi All

the doctor called already! They ran the first test and called when they were running the other ones. I got a BFP!!! :D :D :D :D :D

My level 10dp5dt and it was 565. The doctor said it would have probably been 350ish YAY. He said that it is def a real pregnancy and not a chemical. He said anything over 100 is a good sign Thank you Load. He said based on the levels it is def not triplets. It could be twins, but most likely just one. To all the girls so don't have symptoms...it means NOTHING....

Good Luck Val... Your next... my fingers and toes are crossed for you. I know based on your symptoms you are next. Can't wait to hear your number.


I'll write more later

Msfixit - Good Luck on ER, I hope you are feeling better. The pain you were talking about just does not seem common. I have been on these boards way too long and I don't remember any ladies being in as much pain as you are.

Lynniecat - Congrats on ER, sound like you have some good eggs, keep us posted on your fert report.

Turtles - Glad that your vacation was good even though it got off to a bad start. Hope DH is feeling better.

Much Hope - I am so happy that you have someone that is going to donate eggs for you. That is so exciting. Can't wait to see your BFP in couple of weeks.

Valerie - 1 more day to go. How are you haninging in there. Your sympton sound really encouraging that you are PG. Good Luck tommorrow.

MzTia - Glad that this cycle is looking much better then the last. Good luck at ER. Hope you get lots of good eggies.

Muggsey - So sorry to see that you also got a BFN. Doesn't look like Sep 5 is our lucky day.

horsegrl - How are you doing? When is your Beta?

Good Luck to everyone that has ER or Beta test this week!!!!!

I just updated the schedule but then somehow lost it :( , so now I guess I will go back and redo it. YEAH!!!!

I get to find out my new schedule tommorrow. Last night I did finally go out and get drunk. I did really good and didn't have a pity party, I think I really surprised DH. I think DH was really worried about me breaking down so we had friends around to help. I held it together and I think I am going to be all right now. Once AF comes and I can start another cycle I will definatly be over this one, it will just be really really hard to keep up PMA. Hope everyone has a good day.
