SueQiwi~ I'm sorry your feeling a little crazy today. I'm sure it's the anticipation of your coming cycle. You're almost there!! Just think that your ovaries are getting ready for the production of fabulous eggs! Think positive, don't let negative thoughts enter your mind, there's no room for them inside your head!! :D Like you said, look how many of us had very few eggs and are preggers right now. That should really give you a boost! You WILL join us soon with a BFP!

aims~ Welcome!! I wish you had joined us sooner! We could have really cheered you on! It seems that you did a FET! Lots of good outcome with frosties! Third time's the charm! Try to stay relaxed, keep occupied and always believe that you are pregnant. Do you feel any symptoms? Some of us have symptoms and some don't and we have BFPs.
That is probably the hardest part about being PUPO is that we anticipate feeling something and most women don't even know the are pregnant until later. I wish you the best of luck and please keep in touch with us! :D

Mztia~ I'm so glad you're not feeling obsessed, that is the best you can do for yourself. I would move around a little bit so you get the blood flowing nicely through your body. I'd go nuts if I was to stay in bed for 4 days. Sending more sticky baby dust to you.

Courtney~ WOW, thank you so much for the congrats! That is so sweet of you. Looks like you're doing terrific! Congrats on the twin boys, you must be ecstatic! Hugs to you! :D

Kerpupples ~ I hope you got a darker line on your POAS! Let us know. I wish you the best tomorrow on your beta...bring back a strong number. :wink:

As for me, I had a very sleepy day yesterday. It seems that I will be better today....time will tell.

Later girls...

Thanks Sue, Stefanie, and Valerie for your kind words. I've been having emotional stress. I took two weeks off work so I wouldn't have that stress. My so called best friend decided my husband should have naked pics of her. I found them on my husband's computer and he was furious with me for going through his things. I wasn't even looking for stuff like that. My husband won't cheat on me physically but he likes the head games of the pics. So, that's what I'm going through.

Yes, this was a frozen cycle that I went through. I had one 8 cell, two 9 cell, and one 11 cell. When i went for the transfer, the doctor told me two of them grew overnight. I was so stoked cause I've never had that happen before. The only part that worries me about the transfer is for some reason they had a hard time finding my uterus on the U/S. The doctor had to help the nurse find it which she did. I have this fear that they didn't put it in the right place though.

I haven't really had any pregnancy symptoms except sore boobs and the middle of my uterus cramping but those could be from the PIO.

I will keep in touch. I must do some studying. I couldn't get out of school for the last couple weeks. :wink:

aims327 - I'm so sorry that you found these pics. Your husband had no right to be angry at you. His inappropriate behavior gave you reason to snoop. I hope he can acknowledge this. You're only a couple days behind me on your beta so I'll be looking out for you hon! I hope the 3rd time is the charm.

SueQiwi - thanks so much! I remember being very impatient on the BCPs too. ET will be here before you know it though!

AmandaM - thanks too for your wishes. I hope to join the BFPs of team August!!!

valerie68 - I was completely obsessing about it yesterday so I POAS again in the afternoon. This line was about the same shad as the first - so darker than the one I thought was an evap. Again this morning and again with the same shade of line, though this one at least showed up within the time limit listed for reading results. I am concerned that it's not getting significantly darker. I guess we'll see what my numbers look like tomorrow.

toobee - wow, 3, congratulations!!! At least this increases the chances that you'll get to term with 1. 3 would be perfect (if overwhelming) though!!![/b]

Aims - Sorry you are so stressed. That would definatly stress me out. I would hope hubby would come to his senses and figure out that naked pics of your best friend on his computer is just not right. Good luck and congrats on being PUPO. When is your beta?

Kerpupples - Sounds like you have a BFP!!! Maybe your test is just too sensitive and isn't picking up a darker line. If you have a line at all that means that their is some HCG in your system. Good luck with your beta tomorrow.

SueQiwi - Yeh, you finally get to start stims next week. I know it probably has seemed like a forever wait. I won't be going back on BCP's till Oct 8th so I have a long wait before I can do anthing. I am kind of relaxing and it is really nice not to be on any hormal drugs for a while Good luck and best wishes for a bunch of great growing follies.

HELLO LADIES,

Just a quick post, I have an early day tommorrow. Let me give you my stats as of today: 1st Beta #97, 2nd Beta #297, 3rd Beta #515 and I'm going for my fourth on Monday. I don't know guys but I think this maybe a chemical PG. I don't want to be pessimistic.....I don't want to have a bad PMA (which I kinda don't), but my levels are not rising fast enough. I'm not on any other medication but the PIO and a baby Asprin. I could just be over sensative to the PIO as I was with the other fertility meds.... I don't know. I'm gonna have a very long talk with my Doc. on Monday when he calls.

I hope everyone is doing well :) I gotta catch up as always. :lol:

Kerpupples- Good Luck on your beta tomorrow. :D Can't wait to hear the number

JJAKE- I truly hope you don't have a chemical pregnancy. I have been through that twice and know have very painful it is. I will be praying that you get a good beta tomorrow.

aims - First of all welcome to the group. I am sorry to hear about what happened. I hope you DH apologizes because he was wrong not you. Try to keep the PMA. I will be thinking of you.

Not much going on here. Still not feeling many symptoms. I do have to get up sometimes in the middle of the night to pee though. I go in for my third beta Tuesday. I wish they could do an u/s then.

Hope you all had a nice day.

kerpupples- My hpt didn't get darker before my beta. I tested at 51. When I came back from vacation and did another hpt it was really dark but this was 6 days later. So I don't think they get real dark until your beta is really high. Mine was over 1000 when it was really dark. good luck tomorrow.

aims - Wow, that was wrong of your DH. He shouldn't get mad at you for finding them. He should be ashamed for having them. Try to keep the stress out even though I know it is really hard. I know what you mean about school. I have had the worst time studying. Good luck!!

SueQiwi - I know it is driving you crazy to start. Not too much longer. Keep the PMA and good luck!!

JJJAKE - I'll be praying your beta rises a lot tomorrow! I read that as long as it rises 60% in 2 days it is good but we are going to find something to stress about. I was stressing because mine made such a large jump. :roll: I hope everything looks good tomorrow.

AmandaM - I know what you mean about getting up to pee. I took a nap today and had to get up 3 times for a 1 1/2 hour nap!! I always get up at least twice in middle of the night. It is annoying!!

Well, I finished this weeks homework but never did last weeks. I think I might just abandon it. I just don't care which is very weird for me. One more week until my u/s. :x Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Kerpupples- Can't wait to hear your great beta number today.

Aims - I hope you are feeling better today and more relaxed. Your beta is in a couple of days right? Good luck

Renee- I hope stimming is going well. GROW GROW GROW

Valerie - How are you feeling today?

I called the nurse to see if it was normal to not feeling any symptoms or pregnant at all for 4 days. She said that I am still pregnant and it is common. She said the might come back or I could be one of the lucky ones who doesn't or have symptoms. I feel better knowing that it doesn't mean the baby already stopped growing.

She also said that they will schedule my u/s when I come in for my third beta tomorrow. Apparently they do the first u/s at 7 weeks. :shock: So I guess I will have to wait 2 more weeks for that. All of this waiting.

I've been back from work for 2 hours already and just trying to get stuff done around the house. I can't complain for getting to leave early, but it sure is a pain to get up and drive there to do nothing for 2 hours lol.

Oh well. Hope everyone is having a happy Monday.

Hi girls!! How are you all feeling?

kerpupples~ I can't wait to hear your beta number! :D A line on a POAS is a definite positive!

lynnie~ How are you handling the 2ww? going crazy like we all did?
I hope your embies are comfortable! Sending you sticky baby dust!

Aims~ I'm sorry for your situation at home. NOT something any of us would want to deal with especially at this time. Both your best friend and DH are totally wrong! I hope you're able to deal with it well for the sake of the babies. Your test is coming up real soon. Hang in there!

Renee~ I hope you are stimming well and that a little army of eggs is lining up! When is your first E2 test? And the first US to see them all.
For you, I'm sending plump egg dust!! :D

Toobee~ We haven't heard from you. Are you feeling well? How did Ike treat you? I'm just wondering if perhaps you're not out of power. Thinking about you and the 3 little ones. :wink:

JJJake~ Did your belly button pain go away? You will have your fourth beta results today...I wish you a fat one. I think you're doing fine with the numbers. What does your RE think?
Keep us posted.

Chris~ what you are doing right now is the best therapy you could give yourself. When I had my chemical, I kept up with everybody on the board and it was so helpful to me. It gave me strength and hope for the coming cycle. You will feel so good doing it...just like right now. You are strong and you will have your BFP!!

Amanda~ Not having any symptoms is tough. I'm glad you called your nurse and that she put your mind at ease. You haven't felt twinges or cramps? This time is just as tough as the 2ww, if not more for me.
You will have your beta tomorrow and it will quickly put your mind at ease.
I woke up in the middle of the night not feeling optimistic at all. For some reason I felt that the pregnancy was going away. My temp before going to bed was lower than usual, my boobs were almost not sore. I was really starting to panic, it's totally irrational but that the way I felt. I kept pointing out the good symptoms to myself but nothing helped my mood.
I seriously think it was because of the full moon. I always act funny when there's a full moon.
I'm feeling better right now, the burping didn't stop all morning and my temps is where it should be and I'm starving. Plus DH teases me and makes me laugh.

I hope all of you are doing well and I'll catch you later!

Hugs and love,

I am SO seriously losing my mind. No symptoms and since I have been preggers before I expect to notice SOMETHING! Oh well, just got to wait. They don't do betas till 18 DPO!!!

Lynnie~ You poor thing!! I can totally relate to going nuts. I can't believe that you don't have your beta until the 18DPO! That's a long time. I could tell you not to obsess about the lack of symptoms but I don't think it will help. Who am I to say as I was totally obsessing last night. I couldn't even sleep I was in such a bad shape.
It's so hard to concentrate on work when all you can think about are your embies. Toobee didn't have any symptoms and yet she has 3 in there...you would think that she could feel something.
My cousin didn't know either when she just recently got prego.
This is such a hard thing to live...but we will all make it through one way or the other.

I'm thinking about you and all I can do is give you great big hugs!!

Valerie- I am sorry you were having a bad night last night. This time is so tough. That is your that your DH can make you laugh and feel better.
'm glad you are feeling better today.

No, I haven't felt any twinges or cramps. At least it is only 1 more day until I get a new beta number.

Thanks for everyone's kind words about my situation. I have talked to my DH and we are good. I think he is starting to understand that it was wrong. My ex-best friend though didn't think I would mind and welcomed me to send pics of me to her and her DH. I don't think so! I don't even think her husband knows cause he would be furious with her.

Anyway enough about that. I am trying to keep busy so my embryos can snuggle in. Only 3 more days until beta. I haven't even been tempted to POAS this time which surprised me. I guess I don't want to know if it's negative. I like feeling PUPO! :lol:

Hello Ladies,

Well it is back to work today for me. I hope everyone is doing well.

Val- Try not to stress you are pregnant and that is not going to change.

Aims- So glad you cleared everything up with DH what a terrible thing to have to go through at anytime let alone a time like this.

Lynnie- ouch 18dpo for BETA I am so sorry you have to wait so long. I had ET on 9/11 and I have my BETA on 9/23 so the day before yours. But just think of that huge number you will see.

Kerpupples- Can't wait to hear that BETA today. Let us know when you are able.

Renee- hope stims are going well, GROW GROW GROW.

Just remember ladies for as many women that have pregnancy symptoms there are women who don't. I did not have any with my first pregnancy until I hit 5 months and even then it was just some ciatic pain. What a wonderful pregnancy everyone is going to have. It is a happy happy time.

Well time to do some work.

Have a great day!!!!!
