Foreverlove Congrats to you as well on your BFP!!! I am so happy for you as well!!! I always think taking your news (good or bad) at work is really hardcore!!!! I bet waiting to tell DH was eating you up!!! ENjoy your break....

Annie Congrats to you!!! I know you had a little preview from the HPT's but getting positive confirmation and a beta number makes it a little more real!!!! Good luck on CHristmas Day!!. I have been told to go on the Friday instead which will suit better as its always a crazy day !!

Not Hopeless Yet Thanks for all your congrats, and good luck on the trigger. DH is the IM shot expert, so i leave that up to him :wink: The trigger feels great because it signifies the end of your stims and the beginning of the next phase... ANd what a lucky day to have it done XXX

GIna Thanks, and i did a 3 day transfer, but we put back 4 grade 1's embies. Good to hear from you...

Pixel You have always touched me with your words, and today is no different. I think you have a way of expressing things that really moves something inside me... Thank you. Oh and, yes, i also thought about all the traumas this cycle... who would have guessed it would turn out great in the end?????

To Have Fun Thanks for your congrats. Yeah, whats with that beta #??? sounds high to me as well...
I'm so glad your RE appointment went well. Stimming slower and longer sounds like a sensible call, and it sounds logical to me. I know it sucks to wait another cycle, but at leaset then you wont have any insurance stresses hanging over you and new year, new RE, new cycle.....

As for me, we finished our Christmas shopping today. I totally dont feel pregnant and i cant wait till Firday so i can get tested again, just to make sure its real......

kas, foreverlove and annie!

OH MY! How exciting! Congrats to you all!


kas...I knew it! I bet you have 3 in there! RUT ROH!!!!!!!! Great news!!! Or maybe two and the bleeding was one detaching. They saw a sac that was reabsorbing with me and that may have been my bleeding. Is your spotting gone yet????


So my doctor callled and said my ultrasound was fine. Said the big one is next monday at 6.6 weeks. Then I should see the fetal pole and heartbeat. Let's hope so! I feel barfy on and off, it was very on Sunday at Whole Foods. I think the grocery store is hard. I love feeling sick though! Twisted EH?


Oh...this journey is so crazy!!!!!! I am so happy for you guys!!!!!

Foreverlove and Annie, so glad to hear you + Kas makes 3 BFP's! Congratulations to you all! Enjoy your celebration this Christmas.

Chris, it sounds like your appt went well and you have a plan for Jan. It's just around the corner so will be keeping up with you on the Jan board.

Not Hopeless Yet, good luck with your trigger tonight and ER! You'll be in the 2ww soon and then counting down to your BFP.

WOW!!!! kas, annie and foreverlove!! CONGRATULATIONS :D :D :D
kas- what an enourmous number!! multiples here you come

that's so awesome to get 3 for 3 today. what an amazing xmas present.

hi JDC...how are you holding up? i HATE your coworker right now and totally want to tear a strip off of her. what a *****. horrible and thoughtless. so..i haven't kept track of what your previous beta's were- but they said m/c was 'inevitable'? i'm just wondering if there's any hope held out for this to still grow? my heart is with you right now....

not hopeless- how wonderful to have xmas ER! best of luck to you...i'll pray for lots of strong eggies..

lynnie!! i'm so excited your u/s was good...prayers for many more reports like that..and i hope your nausea continues just enough to give you that sick reassurance we all crave :wink:

hi to chris, wonder, waiting for4, detroit and everyone else..

so i had more spotting last night, scared the hell out of me as my lower back hurt too.... i'm so scared of m/c. i've also had mild pains in my lower right abdomen. but then it stops? which is just confusing... i don't know what the f to think and am just happy that xmas is such a distraction right now.

much love and merry christmas to all,karen

WOW Kas, So happy for your BFP. I remembered late last night that you were testing yesterday and ran to the computer to find out the results. I just had a feeling it was going to be positive. I'm so happy for you!! Get ready for more than one with that number. When I did my first IVF my beta was done at 18 days and was 7131, I had twins!! Looks like you'll be joining the twins or more group.

Foreverlove and Annie - congrats on your BFP's, enjoy this time it's the best feeling after all that hard work.

Lynniecat - I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying your next ultrasound will bring you the best news ever.

Happy Holidays

Kas....I think you might have 4! OMG, I sure hope its 3 or less. I was thinking about the beta number....

Let's hope its just two in there. I think two is pretty safe as far as the multiples go! But maybe you want three!?! Thoughts? Guesses???????
