JennLB- go to the website and under the section titled "Wedding, Birthday, Anniversary..." is a link to "Event" and you just set it up that way. You type in what you are counting down to (ie BFP) and when it is. Hope that helps.

WAITING FOR 4 - Thank you! I'm learning so much from reading about everybody's experiences. You guys sure do put out alot of technical terms and numbers that I know nothing about though. Haha I wish you the best of luck in your results!

TBURKS - Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your father in law...I hope he pulled through. I'm looking forward to moving on to the next step (Follistim) hopefully on Saturday. I hate those pelvic ultrasounds but I'm still excited

I'm also looking forward to AF being over because I'm having the worst cramps I've had in my life!
Good luck with your ET!

Wishing all you ladies the best in your ERs, ETs and results

Hi Ladies!

Sorry I haven't posted much, but I haven;t had much to post, nothing new over here. Still on bcp's until the 16th, just over 2 weeks away from starting stims. I go for the sonohyst today and the office hyst tomorrow, and I expect them to be normal, but of course I will let you know.

Jenn- Just wanted to let you know that I had no implantation bleeding. So I guess it is different for everyone.

Tburks- good luck on your upcoming transfer, sounds like you have a bunch of good embies- lots of sticky dust coming your way!

Espinozal- Glad to hear you are gearing up for FET. I know this thread will be close to done by the time your ready to go, so feel free to join us over on the march/april thread too, you will see a couple of familiar names there.

Welcome rosie and valdez- much luck for your upcoming cycles.

I know there is a lot going on in this thread. I wish you all much babydust and happy stimming.

Speaking of Inplantation what day does it normally happen after your 3 or 5 day transfer?

CT_Michele · Post by **CT_Michele** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 6:56 pm

Molly- It can be different for everyone. I was a late implanter, and had low beta numbers at my first beta. From what I have read, it usually takes place 6-10 days after retrieval, which would mean 3-7 days after a 3 day, or 1-5 days after a 5 day transfer, but again, different for everyone.

I haven't posted in a few weeks, but I do read the posts every night. Sounds like we have a very lucky group of ladies!

A lot has gone on. I started stims on the 24th and tonight I get to trigger at 10pm!!!!!!!!! We had a minor setback on Sunday. I had a TON of follicles, so they took me off of Gonal F and Menopur and put me on a micro-dose of hcg with Lupron. They have reduced that number and gained control of my estrogen levels. My RE said that things look beautiful now. He is still worried about OHSS, but I will be loading up on fluids this weekend!

Congrats to all the BFP and I pray that we will have tons more in the upcoming weeks!! Sticky Baby Dust to all....

I am in desperate need of a weekend... I am so antsy and cannot keep my mind on anything but my 3 embies since I have NOTHING to do at work. I have been sitting idle for about 9 hours of my 10 hour day. Definitely losing my mind

BarbD · Post by **BarbD** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 10:03 pm

So since I am fairly new at this once we do the transfer/fet, we then wait for implantation? How long does that normally take? So after saying NO to HPT we won't mention names(BFF)convinced me to take on today and of course it was NEGATIVE......but I will not do that again. You ladies can know YELL at me. After having an emotional break down, I read this board and wala got the hint that implantation takes a few. PLEASE, tell me that I was silly and the negative was just cause we transfered like 50hrs ago

So ladies please don't HPT they are evil little sticks.

barbd- you just transferred... there is no way a HPT would pick anything up yet. They make you wait 2 weeks bc that is usually how long it takes for a good level of HCG to build up in your system. Think nothing of it, slap your friend for me, and hold out until your real test.

Hey ladies!! I had my ER this morning!! They removed 18 eggs!!! I'm still in a lot of pain. My husband had to head out of town right after he got me home. My kids are here and being great little helpers. My daughter is fixing corn dogs for dinner : ) I asked for steak and macaronim LOL. I'm having a hard time recruiting someone to come over and give me my progestrone shot. My daughter is not comfortable doing it (which I don't blame her, she is only 14). I think I read that some of you are or have given those shots yourselves. Well i just got off the phone with my Aunt. She is on her way to help. I'll be in touch later.

I had my ER this morning as planned. I'm also still in quite a bit of pain...can't move too much. They retrieved 15 eggs! We were pretty excited about that. Can't wait for the report in the morning to see how many fertilized. I took a 3 hour nap when I got home. DH is taking good care of me

Kcraven: 18 eggs! That's awesome! Take it easy. Do you start progesterone today already. I don't start until Friday. Let me know how it goes.

There is sooooo much going on around here, it's hard to keep up. It's all exciting, and believe me when I say I'm hoping for the very best for you all!

shelley and kcraven, I'm so happy to hear that you had your ER this morning. lots of good wishes to you both!

barb, awwww, don't fret. we're all hoping for your BFP!

waiting, at least you have boards like this to help the time pass by fast. or solitare? heehee

hello to the new people on this thread. this is a wonderful place!

So I went for my meds training this morning. I think I got it all, I took furious notes. Remember this is my first time, so I'm new to the injections! I start the Lupron on Friday. I can't believe I'm finally here.

any sage advice for me as I begin the injections?
