Well ladies I am 5dp5dt and the past 2 days were negative on the HPTs and today....well there it was faint but there and I don't have to strain to see it!!!! I will test again tomorrow hoping for a darker line...Pray for me!!!! We have gotten our hope up twice before only to be let down so maybe third time is a charm??? One day at a time. My Beta is not until next Wednesday.

smattison - WONDERFUL NEWS! I will keep my fingers crossed for you and your bean. I don't know much about POAS, but seeing the two lines 5dp5dt seems like a good omen to me!

I have only just started my 2ww (2dp3dt) and already I am having trouble sleeping at night and focusing during the day. Ugh!

Here's to hoping everyone gets the same results as you!

Well the line is darker...I just bought 2 more test so I can poas in the morning and Tuesday since my Beta is not until Wednesday!

sprouthaus-I have been having a hard time sleeping as well...maybe that is good sign. I have been taking Tylenol PM, they say it is safe and it works!

update

Post by trippsmomma »

Hey ladies,
Just got back online. ER was yesterday and it was roughly than I had anticipated... but I did have 35 eggs! Rested yesterday and drank lots and lots of gatorade. Today I woke up and finally felt pretty good again (no more crazy levels of estrogen... I had gotten up to 3350). Today I got the call that they were able to fertilize 30 eggs and we now have 15 embies growing! We are looking forward to the possibility of making it to blast day.

Today, we started our progestorone and estrogen patches (because I triggered with lupron). The patches have already given me hot flash feelings in my legs (like all of a sudden they are really warm). I'm just trying to keep the moving, but I am afraid of the aching feelings I had before. Dr. believes it was just fluid, but thoughts of strokes keep going through my head.... even though I'm just 28, not overweight and never smoked! But hormones can drive you mad.

Anyway, that's our update and I love reading all about your's. So good luck to all you ladies!
