CONGRATS-DYS!!!!!!
How funny you POAS at work
How far along are you and did you do a 3dt or 5dt?

[dys24]

ianmichael3- thanks!!! although I'm still cautious I think I'll believe it when I get a + BETA

melanie_100- I know I feel like a drug addict lol I work not far away from WalMart so i figured I'll go and smuggled it in to work lol ... I'm 8dp3dt and my first + was yesterday morning.

[estrellita]

Dys24 Congratulations on you BFP!!! thats funny that you did it at work

[cymplicity27]

dys24, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so happy for you! And don't say you won't believe it until beta because Melanie will get you...I know from experience, LOL! Let's keep the BFPs rolling in ladies!!

Melanie & Hazel, dh went out today and bought a heating pad. It's a moist/dry one so I'm assuming I can wet it a little? I haven't seen it yet but I'm going to give it a shot tonight and let you know how it goes! A coworker slide me some warming analgesic balm cream (pain reliever cream) but I'm afraid to use it...like it might contaminate something? It may be ok afterwards, but not before. Either way I took it to be nice but don't think I'll use it.

afm, just went for my 2nd beta and now waiting for those results. Update you later!

[dys24]

Thanks Girls! Its funny how we can't be satisfied with a + HPT (at least me lol) until we get the "official" results

[dys24]

My clinic just called and said out of my 6 left embryos one made it to perfect blastocysts and they froze it , I can't believe it !!! Last cycle I had 19 leftover embryos and NONE made it to freeze.

[cymplicity27]

And it doesn't stop at beta, then you'll want to wait until 2nd beta to get excited, then to u/s, then to 2nd trimester...I don't think the worrying will every stop! For me anyway The few people that know all say "well you don't seem excited at all". That's because I'm still in disbelief!

I have to think that this is normal. I'll probably let down my guard and allow myself to get excited at some point during labor

[cymplicity27]

2nd beta 1496

3rd beta Friday 4/17 and will discuss with RE when u/s will be

[melanie_100]

Cynthia- That's a great number, nice and strong still. AND YOU DOUBTED YOU WERE PREGNANT!!!!!!
You haven't talked about the possibility of multiples which probably means your scared to death. I guess the next 2ww will be hard just trying to figure out how many implanted. Good luck girl and way to go

[babyluv123]

hey

I am on 11dp2dt. The doc had transferred 2 4 celled grade 2 eggs. today I took hpt n it came out to be negative. is there a possibility of beta being positive. I was so positive all these days but now I m shattered. please advice?

[estrellita]

sorry all this medication got me going crazy!

[cymplicity27]

Melanie, I actually wouldn't mind twins. I know I'd be scared to death if it were confirmed twins but I'd be excited too. If it's one I'd still be excited with a sense of relief, if that makes sense. We want at least 2 kids and up to 3 how ever they will come!

Babyluv, hang in there! There is still time for that BFP. Because yours was a 2 day transfer, maybe it's just taking a little longer to show up Good luck!!!

[CT_Michele]

Hi everyone!

Dys- awesome news! I had a feeling this time would work for you! I can't wait to be preggo together!

babyluv- there is always still time for a bfp...nothing is official until beta, which is still 3 days away for you, my first time around, hpt was not even faint positive until the day before my beta

cymplicity- great numbers...can't wait to hear about u/s, should be soon...and btw, it never stops, the disbelief and worry...like you said, you are always waiting for something, first the 2ww, then betas, then u/s, then first trimester and then second...it just keeps going. I think the second I heard Ella cry, the anxiety left my body for a second, until I realized there are now new things to worry about...and she is almost 8 months old and I have a feeling I will have this feeling for the rest of my life, but I am ok with that

afm- I went back tothe clinic this morning, I had they same amount of folllies but they are bigger now. One was 15mm, the rest between 9 and 14 I think. They gave me a shot of ganerelix, which I need to continue doing each morning, and continue my stims each night...so now 2 shots a day. It happened the same way last time too. Even though it is still early, RE is expected ER on Tuesday, which means TESE for DH on Monday.

It was funny, I saw RE today and he said, "Michele, it's been a while..." and we laughed, and I said "You guys got me coming everyday..." and he said I was on the frequent flyer program. I have to go back tomorrow morning too...I asked him straight out if he was concerned about OHSS, and he said concerned was not the right word, he said we are watching, and if I had stayed at my original high dose of follistim, it could have been an issue, but everything seems balanced now. After the bw results this afternoon, they said to keep all my doses the same, so everything must look good. So I guess I will have another update tomorrow.

[hjw]

Hey there Michele, I've been checking in periodically this evening hoping to see how you got on at your scan today. I'm so pleased that they aren't worried about OHSS and that things are progressing smoothly if a little quickly! Frequent flyer program, I love that! For some reason, that reminds me of a lady I know who is 6 months pregnant - she is really really petite and her husband is a big 6 foot 6 inch bear of a man. She reckons that if she has a really big baby (which is entirely likely, looking at her husband), it's going to have to come out of the 'sunroof'. Gets me laughing every time I think about it... Sorry, got a little distracted there. Make sure you update us again tomorrow!

AFM, I did my trigger shot about an hour ago. Now we wait until Friday morning. I got really nervous about the trigger for some reason, not the actual injection but the reason behind it. I think the reality of what we're about to do has just hit me!

Right, it's off to bed soon for me I think.
