Kcraven; Rosario & Brown... Good Luck tomorrow with your Betas. I will keep my fingers crossed that you get your positive results. Good Luck.

Tburks... Congrats on the rising number... I hope your dream of having twins comes true.

Kate... What is with those high numbers!!! AMazing. Well, either the 3 stuck or the three turned into 6 :shock: . Congrats hun.

Well, I am off of work in a little bit. I will be going to my US in the morning. Hope everything is going well. I have been feeling like so so so so bloated, like if I'm about to blow-up. :shock: Not painful, so I am not concerned about OHSS as of yet, but just so bloated from lower abdomen to upper stomach. Well, I hope that they tell me that I am ready to trigger over the weekend... but then again that would only be about a 7 day stim. Anyone had a 7 day stim or something so soon? Last time I was stimming for 9 or 10 days.

Good Luck everyone.

Lady J: Sounds like you and I are going to be triggering pretty close together! I think we have the same number of follicles too. :) Must be a good sign. :wink:

Congrats to all the women getting those awesome beta numbers! Woohoo!!

Good luck to everyone getting betas tomorrow and Saturday! I'm hoping for 100% BFPs. :D

I went back for US and BW today after 1 week of stims. I have 15 follicles. 9 on the left: 12, 15, 10, 7, 9, 8, 8, 8 and 8. 6 on the right: 14, 13, 11, 8, 8 and one smaller follie. Didn't give me a number on the uterine lining, but said that it looked perfect. RE said he expects that I will have ER early next week, Mon, Tues or Wed. I have another US and BW appointment Saturday morning. I am soooo excited and desperately hoping for some primo eggies!! Babydust to all!!

Hi ladies!

I have been out of the office doing some work at sites, so I have not been able to post. I had to read 10 pages really fast to catch up.

waiting, I'm so so sorry. I wish you every bit of luck going forward.

Jenn, Shelley, TBurks- my goodness. a huge congrats to each of you, and I hope you all have happy and healthy pregnancies!

oh I almost forgot Kate and your crazy numbers! WOW!

Glad to hear all the ladies who already have their BFPs are doing well! Feel free to send a little of your lucky baby dust my way if you have any leftover :P

I'm on to the Follistim at this point. Interesting. So far, it's not so bad. I'll keep you guys posted. I'm just a few days behind you Lady J in where I am in this cycle.

Sorry, I have been MIA for awhile. I have been consumed with researching normal estrogen levels. I started stimming 2/7 and on 2/12 my estrogen level was only 70! My RE upped my menopur and then on 2/16 my estrogen level was 650. After today's u/s and b/w I found out that it is 1509. The doctor is seeing only 8 follicles on u/s. I am so disappointed because I thought I would get between 15 and 20. I just really feel like the odds of getting PG are diminishing and I can't do a thing about it. I have another b/w and u/s on Saturday morning and the egg retrieval is tentatively scheduled for Monday 2/23. I am driving myself crazy with worrying (and my DH). I know that I need to relax but I am going crazy!!!!

Congrats to all with BFPs!!!!

Lady J: Thanx for your reply. I just thought maybe it was all in my head. I'm just not in pain, but discomforted. I'm swollen, but I'm glad because that means the meds are doing there work. I haven't had an ultrasound since I've been stimming yet. I go tomorrow for my first ultrasound. I am so excited. I hope I have lots of follies :) Well I wish you and me lots of follies and nursegator. Sounds like we are all on the same schedule for trigering. Tomorrow will be cycle day 9 for me.

To all the BFP Congratulations!!! To everyone else good luck and keep your spirits up and relax as much as you can :)

I am patiently waiting for BETA tomorrow morning at 630am. I have done 4 HPTs after my BFP I got yesterday afternoon (7 in total). Unfortunately the lines seem to get lighter instead of darker. I am thinking my embie implanted late but maybe along the way stopped forming and thats why i don't see the lines getting darker. Before beta i will do my last few HPTs and see what happens. I honestly don't expect good news. I am trying to have PMA but unfortunately after all that is happening its very hard.

GOOD LUCK ON ALL THE BETA'S TODAY!!!!


Rosario - You can't go by the darkness of the line. The HPT's just measure if you have HCG in your system. It doesn't measure how much HCG so the darkness of the lines does not matter. Good luck, I know you will have a good beta.


I will catch up on personals later.

AF started showing her head last night so really don't think this cycle worked. It is a little too early for her so I know it could be a little one snuggling in but i seriously doubt it. Now looking forward to my next cycle.

Everyone good luck on your beta today.

To Have Fun- It could be implantation since it is to early for your period. I will keep my fingers crossed for you, and pray for the BFP. Is it to early to POAS?

Rosario - You're worrying too much hun! Check out this website: http://www.ovulation-calculator.com/pre ... pt-faq.htm

Here's a quote if you can't pull it up: "Because home pregnancy tests detect hCG, it is best to collect urine samples containing the highest presence of the hCG hormone. Diluted samples (from drinking high volumes of water / frequent urination) are not recommended and can diminish test accuracy. Instead, first morning urine is considered the ideal sample as it contains the most concentrated presence of hCG. Otherwise, waiting several hours after last urinating to take a test."

Your urine is diluted by peeing on so many sticks! The line faintness means nothing, it means the test has detected HCG, and that's that.

Good luck this morning!

Rosario- stop taking tests... another 10 won't tell you anything. You are getting positives so just let that be that for now until tomorrow morning. You're starting to stress me out and I have barely been on the thread this week. :) Even if something happened, there would still be enough HCG in your system to still show a BFP so you just have to wait and see. A few more HPTs wont give you any assurance- they never do.
