Thank you for all of the warm wishes and the sticky baby dust!! I will update you on how many we put back tomorrow. We are leaning towards 2, but RE has talked about putting back just 1. I guess it will have to be an 'in the moment' decision. Oh, the stress.... :shock:

Lady_J - You seriously ROCK!! Thank you for keeping up with everyone's cycle and progress. Also, I vote for a real Pina Colada...you deserve it. Heck, we all deserve one!

Waiting - I am so sorry for the bad news. :cry: You and your DH will most certainly be in my prayers tonight. I hope things work out sooner than later.

Espinoza - It breaks my heart to see someone in such distress. I am in agreement with what everyone else has said. Such heavy stress isn't good for your health, both mental and physical, and if it stays put it might impact the success of your FET. What you do is most certainly up to you, but I hope you can make peace with whatever you choose. If your DH loves you he will understand that you can't control nature. Many hugs to you...

Molly - Sounds like another lucky BFP!!!!! Huge Congrats....
Me - 26
DH - 30 (low sperm)
ER - 2/6 ; 5 day ET - 2/11
Beta - 2/20 - BFP!!!!!

Brown.... I say, if u want 2 then u go for it. Whatever decision you make, I really hope u get your BFP from it. As for the Pina Coladas, I may just stick to the virgin ones..we'll see. As for dancing, for sure he better take me. I love to dance.

RosiePosie... Well, tomorrow u will know for sure. When did u POAS? Hopefully u POAS too soon and that BFN will actually be a BFP. Good Luck tomorrow hun.

waitingfor4... Hun, I am so sorry. With everything going on, this is the last thing u needed. Hopefully he can collect unemployment in the meantime, while he finds himself a better job. I truley hope it is a blessing in disguise. My thoughts and prayers are with you and DH.

khaki- so good to hear from you...I was just wondering how you were progressing. How many to put back is obviously completely up to you and your docs, but I don;t know if I would ever put back less than two. I only say that because for my first ivf, everything was perfect, great perfect 8 celled embies, no fertility issues on my part, age on my side, we put back and only one took. So I would look at both extremes, would you rather have 2, or none. Again, up to you guys, but just my thoughts. I wish you well and feel free to pm me if you have time. I am sending lots of sticky dust your way.

To everyone else, I have been reading, just not much to post...I also feel bad for leaving people out since there are so many on this thread, but I am praying for you all and excited about the betas coming up soon.

I go for all of my heart screenings this week, so hopefully I will get the all clear for the polyp surgery and get this show on the road. It is such a busy week this week, and next week will be bittersweet, no school so I don;t have to work, but I was supposed to start stimming and it doesn;t look like that will happen now, but atleast I will get to relax for a little while.

Baby dust to all of you!

i am so sorry to hear your news. do you think you can get out of the contract for the new house. i know your closing was today but i think there might be a window of time there that you can still get out of it.


RosiePosie
i have read lots of things that say you can't count on those HPT's. It's not over till it's over!!!


JennLB25
my BETA is the 17th. i think i am listed wrong on the board. lucky for you - you are 1 day ahead!! NO, i haven't POAS. have u?
I feel like it's still to early. i think i am going to wait for the BETA. i have POAS so many times in the past and all I have ever seen is a BFN and I just refuse to see that anymore!

tburks...Yep, I see now that it is changed to 17th. I went back to look. :wink:

Can you tell me what POAS means? I assume it means same as HPT but not sure what the actual letters stand for.

I have not taken any HPT yet. I promised DH that I wouldn't but this second week fo the TWW is just killing me. I just have to know!! But, as with you, I've taken so many tests over the 11 years of TTC that I don't want to see another BFN. I just don't know what to do. Its like its just calling my name...."Jenn, come pee on this stick, you know you want to see that BFP".... :oops: :lol:

I hope you can hold out!! It's becoming more and more difficult for me to hold out. :roll:

okandtxdr... Well, Good Luck tomorrow. Hope your ET goes well. ET is a peice of cake... nothing compared to the ER... basically it is like a Pap Smear, they just raise your legs up a little higher, Stick that device and then guide the tube and release the eggs into your uterus... usually they will have u lay there for about 30 minutes. SO as far as pain, u shouldn't feel pain, but it is the 2WW that is what drives u nutz. Good luck hun.

Rosie... I won't exept those results until u get your Beta results back. So there!!! Good Luck tomorrow hun.

CT... I hope the heart scan goes well this week. Hopefully they say u r good to continue with your cycle. As long as you are healthy is what matters. Good Luck hun.

Ok, so I have had a little more time to calm down about our new found situation. The dr said he would only make me pay for lab tests and not the scans or visits which is awesome- I love my RE. I got us set up on the health insurance through my work which will help a bit with the other appointments I guess but only covers testing and diagnosis of infertility, not treatment or medication. DH has been in touch with about 4 recruiters today and they all seem pretty hopeful about getting him something even if it is contract work for now. The painters will be finished with the house tonight so I get to go see the new place finally. We are trying to find 1 or 2 people to move in for a bit to help with the bills. I dont know how comfortable I am with that but I guess we'll just have to see.

Before all this crap went down yesterday I did have another scan and my OHSS is going away pretty fast. Since DH was there he asked to see my lining to see the little spots for himself and they look a lot more well defined. RE printed it off for me so if we end up with our little babies from this, I will have the earliest picture possible. :D

Things always happen this way with us- everything is so easy and goes so well for usexcept for one big thing. That big thing lately has been getting pregnant and so its been hard to get upset about it bc we were living so well up until now. Well, since DH lost his job, we decided that was the one big thing for now so we're convinced we will getour babies this time. God, I can't wait until Tuesday! still a week away!

Waiting for 4: I'm so glad to hear that your DH has some opportunities lined up and that your RE is working with you! Somehow, It's all going to work out fine. I will pray for you and your family to make it so!!

Lady J: Are you still waiting for AF? I asked my RE, what if AF doesn't arrive, will it delay my stims? And he said no. I have had AF continuously since December, so just my luck, it'll go away now that I want AF to be here. I wonder why do some REs wait for AF, while mine doesn't care? Have a good time with your DH, enjoy the limo and dance the night away-- you deserve it!

JennLB25: Sticky babydust to you and all of the other ladies in the 2WW. Love the PUPO list! It just keeps getting longer and longer, can't wait to see all the official BFPs! Don't give up, RosiePosie-- PMA, PMA!

CT: Good luck with all of your heart screenings. I hope you'll be able to get your polyp surgery out of the way and be able to cycle soon. Is the plan to remove the polyps by laparoscopy or will your RE do another hysteroscopy?

Espinoza: my heart breaks for you in this situation! Whatever you decide, I wish you only the best. I will be praying for you and your DH.

okandtxdr: good luck with your ET! Sending babydust your way. How many will you transfer?

Best wishes to everyone I've missed!

As for me, today is the first day off BCPs. Still taking my 0.1cc Lupron, no side effects- so far. I have my baseline US on Thursday and will start stimming either Thursday or Friday, barring any problems. Yippeee- so ready to start growing eggies!

waiting sorry to hear about your financial situations but I pray things will get better soon, they have to.

espinoza--good luck with your decision and may you make the right one for you and your family

Molly I did POAS this morning as well and saw two lines but I will not get excited until BETA on Friday(well maybe a little excited) I didn't have that trigger shot(HCG) since we did the FET so I am little worried that it might not be the real thing. I am still cramping off/on and my boobs are still sore maybe that is a good sign.

okandtxdr--GOOD LUCK tomorrow on your transfer

Waiting for 4- I am so sorry to hear about your DH's job. I am glad he has some good Recruiters, and hope he finds a job soon. Your RE does sound awesome, and that super great of him to help out like that.

Barb D- I know the excitement is killing me. Instead of working today I have been reading about pregnancy non stop. I even took a 2nd test different brand this morning and got a positive on that too. Only 3 more very long days for us of waiting. I did have the trigger shot but since I got negative the other day I am positive well almost positive that it is out of my system.

Rosie Posie- I have read a lot where women will get negative on HPT but then go to beta and it be positive. I am sending lots of baby dust your way.
