Congratulations to all the BFP ladies! Woo Hoo! Ert makes 4!! Wow - this group is good luck!
I am not sure when my beta will be. Doc wants me to come in tomorrow to test my hormone levels to see if I need more or not. (Is this normal?) But I will find out when my beta will be after that.
Continued good wishes to everybody. (This wait is indeed torture.)

This is awesome. I'll be praying very hard for all of us. Welcome to everyone. Thanks nursegator for those very encouraging words. I really lost it when the spotting first happened on Sunday. Now I'm more encouraged because of the stats you quoted and the great vibes I'm feeling from the group. Since I'm still on bedrest (Dr recommended) I made an updated running list of the buddies in the group. If this becomes irksome or intrusive someone let me know I'll stop the running list.
Junebug:My RE for my first two cycles didn't do a hormone check. My new RE did this time around. I guess its a clinic protocol thing. They check progesterone levels to see if you need more supplements. No worries.
Okay, RosiePosie and iolywant1 you’re up tomorrow! Let’s break some records. Plenty of baby dust for every one!
Carmen
Great numbers. Really does seem like you might be doing double duty. I had to double check your transfer just to make sure you weren’t going to blow us away with octuplets! Good luck with your beta and ultrasound tommorow.
*Ert*
OMG Miracles abound. Yeah!

Sounds like you’re on the train.
June Bug
Welcome. That must have been incredibly difficult. Hopefully, you had lots of strong support. Sounds like you have the right spirit. Wishing you loads of luck this time.
Molly23 and tburks
Welcome and warm wishes.

Hope you’re hanging in there.
I’m trying my best not to freak out. Just got a voice mail from my nurse that my betas didn’t rise enough and they want me to retest tomorrow. She didn’t leave a number and it’s too late to call the office. I actually can’t go in tomorrow since I have a meeting during monitoring hours. I really don’t know if I can stand it until Thursday!

Glad you piped in I was hoping you’re doing okay. What’s the experiment in your experimental cycle? Also, I was curious about your clinic cycling everyone together. Ours just does it individually, although they do try to skip major holidays.

Sadly, I can relate, too. For me, one of the hardest aspects is the fuzzy future. And, in a way, the technology has made that even harder. I’m willing to throw emotions and money at this evil thing, but even if I do the monster may never disappear.
It is totally normal to be sad, angry, lonely, the whole range. You do have one amazing, huge difference this time, though. You have a DD who needs you and loves you. You will never be so lonely in the well again.
DH and I joke that if this doesn’t work out, we can always take a trip to Hawaii, max out all our credit cards, do lots of decadent things before we drown together. I guess that is not the healthiest fantasy, but sometimes the laugh helps.

Your sentiments are beautiful. I’ll try to use them to keep myself uplifted also.
Just got a voice mail from my nurse that my betas didn’t rise enough and they want me to retest. I’ll keep you all informed, but it really can’t be good.

Dear Siouxsie... I admire your courage. Even in this trying time you are still reaching out and comforting others. Positive thoughts for the restest tomorrow. Its funny when they called me on Day3 and basically said that my embryos suck. That if they didn't live in the lab to day 5 they wouldn't make it in the body. They did give the option of day 3 implant. (They said it nicer but i was just using my interpretation) But I'm off the topic.... I went on orbitz and picked out our flight and hotel in Maui (Ritz Carlton Kapalua for a great deal -- 40% off) to leave on Saturday 1/31 the day of my implant. I was one click away... then my DH came home and told me to keep hoping AND that he was taking my credit card away. I'm thinking of you and praying for you.

dear ladies, OK so my time in AZ is 245 am and I am at work(in a hospital) so being bored and all patients are taken care of. I decided to POAS, well this time those two magical lines came up quickly. Should I be happy or anticipate the worse come Friday's BETA. I am going crazy. Wish I was home sleeping instead of having all this free time
BarbD---this is normal-at least it was for me. I had to go in a couple of times because my estrogen levels were too high..they just reduced my estridol then up'd it again. I think we have the same beta dates or i thought we did....im still scheduled for mine on friday so we will see what happens!
I did the same thing this morning, but I took an EPT digital test and it said pregnant within seconds. I am wishing you baby dust on Friday, and high beta numbers.
ntrlmystc79- Cool we all have the same day for our beta I am hoping we all get BFP. I swear this has been the longest two weeks ever. I wish I could somehow go in and get my beta early, but I know they would give me a big NO on that.
Carmen, What part of Atlanta are you from, and what clinic do you use? I live in Acworth, and I am using RBA. I really love RBA and my doctor there. They are super strict with how many they put back in, but I know they know what they are doing. They even made a joke when I asked for them to put in 3, and they told me they did not want to be front page news like the doctor in CA who helped conceive octuplets.
RosiePosie- Good luck today. As everyone else says it is not over till it is over.
man this room is busy this morning! sorry i havent been in here in a while, its been a hectic week. we closed on our house on monday and got home to find an email (not a freakin phone call) saying DH lost his job. its been stressful but i've been trying hard not to freak out too much so i dont disrupt my babies trying to implant and grow. DH has 2 interviews today with recruiters so hopefully it will go well. luckily my mom is in a great position financially to help us and offered to loan me the money to make ends meet until DH gets a new job.
oh well, good luck on your betas ladies, I cant wait until Tuesday!
