Hi Jenn...just got the call, you're so funny!

We will be doing a 5 day transfer on Wednesday. Not sure of the time yet, they'll call on Wednesday morning and tell us when to be there. I'm starting to get really nervous!

Hey Nickster sounds like they are doing great if they want to wait and do a day 5 transfer!! Don't be nervous, it will be fine. You just have to let them do their thing now. Wed. will be here before you know it!

Just wanted to tell NICKSTER good luck for tomorrow!!! Check in when you can. Will you be on bedrest? I know some doctors do that and some don't. I'll be thinking of you!

Hey Jenn...thanks!!
Yeah he does bedrest for the first 24 but I will attempt to send a message from dh's blackberry to let you all know how it went.
I'll write tomorrow.

Go NICKSTER Go! Can't wait to hear how your transfer went???

Hey girls, had my transfer today.
He transferred 2 Grade 1 blasts and there were 4 or 5 left to freeze. Betas are on the 16th and 18th but they won't tell us anything until the 18th.
I'll talk to everyone soon. I am on dh's laptop from bed so it takes me a while to type!

Hey girls.

Just patiently awaiting Thursday! Actually the closer it gets, the more I'm like "uh, I could wait a little longer!"
Not much going on. I had the one full day of nothing but bedrest and have been taking it easy ever since. Living the life you girls probably dream of these days, naps when I want and leaving the housework to dh. I'm hoping my life will be as busy as yours soon enough though!!!
I'm having some cramping down low (and have been since about 2 days after ET) and lots of lower back pain. I also had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday that I noticed when I went to the bathroom and haven't seen any more since. I'm just hoping all this is from those babies burrowing in and gettin' snuggly.

Talk to everyone soon. I think it's pretty much cold for all of us..so...stay warm.

Oh Nickster, I am keeping you and your little ones in my prayers. All those symptoms are really good signs.
Thursday is the test day????? That seems really early....of course you did a 5 day transfer. I have heard the success rate of those is so much higher. Oh I am just so excited for you.
Will you POAS early?

nickster · Post by **nickster** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 2:51 pm

Thanks so much Robbo!
Yeah, I think it's early too. I actually do my first beta tomorrow but they don't tell you results until the second beta (on Thursday). Because it's so early, I'm not going to do an HPT because I don't want to freak myself out.

You are so brave. So what is the purpose of doing a Beta on Tuesday is they aren't going to give you any results until Thursday?

nickster · Post by **nickster** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 3:51 pm

On Tuesday they just want to know a number and on Thursday, they see if it doubled. I guess since they do it so early they don't want to freak people out with the first one if it's low. A girl last cycle had betas of 6 & 22. I think if I heard 6, I might be a little freaked!
It's very different than my last two times with the other clinic. With them, it was the true tww. I'm not sure why they do it that way but it seems to work out ok from what I've heard.

I am so excited for you. What a wonderful Christmas present this will be to you and your dh.
Are you still having back pain and mild cramping? I have heard of so many people having these symptoms and getting the BFP!!!!
I forgot....how many cycles have you done? Are any covered by insurance?

jenn · Post by **jenn** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 4:26 pm

Just a quick pop in girls-

Hi Robbo!! How is it going?? Haven't heard from you in a while. Are you guys getting out for Christmas break soon??

Nickster~ I am thinking good thoughts for you, especially with those symptoms!! I bled with this pregnancy at first and had cramps with Anna. I actually had them so bad I was convinced I wasn't preg. but then the beta came back positive. I was shocked!! I had been planning an FET and crying on the couch for days when they called!! Poor Dh- I was a wreck! Can't wait to hear your updates! good luck with your first beta. Do you think they will say ANYTHING at all if they see something??
