Welcome to the group amfmbaby! Is this your first cycle?

babyluv - Renee is right - you definitely have time on your side - 6 months will fly by in no time. I turn 35 in 6 months and I feel like I'm racing against this date - which is stupid because based off of my egg quality from this last cycle, my body probably already thinks it is 35!

I work full-time and I am pursuing an MBA part-time. I have 33 weeks left until I graduate....I keep reminding myself that my only goal is to be pregnant before I graduate. (As soon as I graduate the 'when are you going to have kids' questions will start ROLLING in.) When I think of it that way - I am able to deal with the thought of a failed cycle.

Speaking of which - I know I'm supposed to have PMA, but I don't think this cycle is successful. I'm ok with that - I know most 1st cycles don't take. I'm going to start acupuncture as soon as I get my BFN wednesday. If I remember correctly, my beta is wednesday, bubbles13 is on friday 10/17, and babiesgalore is on thursday? 10/16?

So, yesterday DH announced that he thinks we should sell our house and buy a more expensive house. So much for being supportive!!! ; ) I had to remind him that between work, travel, school, ivf, the ECONOMY and HOUSING MARKET, that putting our house on the market and finding and buying a new house just wasn't something I could handle at the moment. What was he thinking???!!!

amfmbaby - sorry, I forgot to answer your questions! After ET I went directly to work. My work consists of sitting at a computer and attending meetings - and my RE said this was perfectly fine. They didn't have me lay for 20 minutes or anything. I had ET on a friday, so I worked half a day, then pretty much lolled around home for the weekend. So, to sum it up - I had no rest required by my RE.

If your hCG trigger shot was on 10/6, then most of the hCG should be out of your system by 10/16. This is probably still too early to see a BFP on an HPT if you are pregnant - but it is possible. Good luck!

BTW: I had 10 eggs retrieved and 8 fertilized - but only 2 made it to day 3 as viable, one 6 cell and one 8 cell. I'm still in 2ww so I don't have a success story to share yet, but from what I understand - it only takes one!

Hi sprouthaus this is in fact our first ivf. thank you for answering my questions. I see you are close to me. I live about 35mins from Chicago. How far out are you? How far into 2ww? Me second day and counting I cant believe RE I cant work nothing but I know hes looking out for whats best for me and DH. I work as hemodialysis practitioner so lifting a lot if not bicarb acid jugs then patients. wished i worked from home i have been on this laptop more in 24hrs then in 2 years

on the bright side to this bed rest i have had lots of time to obsess over when and what is next and have read almost everything about pregnancy symptoms that my fingers can help type in search bar lol .... ttys and wishing the best with baby dust

I know this sounds stupid but figured out this whole signature thing and getting lingo down still a few figure out

now everyone can see where we are in our progress without having to retype like i said i have a lot time on my hands.......

Hey girls I am back and feeling kinda crampy. The traveling was hard and I wish I was in bed.

My RE suggests 24 of bed rest and has you lay flat with your bed tilted and you head down for 1 hour and then you can go home. I stayed in bed for 3 full days and did acupuncture. I think everyone is different and bed rest can't hurt!!!

How was everyone's weekend???

Let me second Renee's good luck wishes to everyone. Here's to hoping to many BFPs this week.

Smattison - are you sleeping any better now that you have your BFP?

smattison · Post by **smattison** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 8:45 pm

Not sleeping any better without taking something to help me!

smattison - you must be exhausted! Not sleeping well, being in your first trimester

and probably carrying multiples!

I have felt more tired than normal the past couple days (can you say symptom obsession anyone?) and fall asleep without a problem - but I have been waking up earlier than I normally would - especially considering how tired I've been.

I do get tired before AF, so it could be that too - but waking up early has me stumped!

Wow I doze of to a little nap and this page jump starts.

Good luck on all upcoming BFPS keep us posted.

Smattison thank you for answering my question and adding me to the list. sorry about the nap thing i know its rough not to sleep i average 4 hours a night but since i started hormones i have been able to sleep through the night i hope it stays this way and a little extra i hope you get some rest and take it easy.

Hi all, just wanted to drop a line to say my beta's scheduled for 10/16. Its gonna be an incredibly busy week b/w school and work for me, so that's prob a good thing as far as waiting it out.

Goodluck to everyone else who is going in this week and I hope to hear lots of great news from you all soon!!!
