ian - Sorry to hear about your spotting. Hopefully it was just caused from doing too much. I have been spotting every tuesday which is my busiest day, and I call the nurses every tuesday. lol Since we go the same clinic, I know we talk to the same nurses and they haven't been too concerned about my spotting either. I just decided I was doing too much and the spotting is a sign to tell me to slow down. All I can do now is pray to see a normal u/s next week.

aims, that is too funny! EVERY Tuesday?? What on earth do you do?? I think it's kind of nice to be told to slow down- I get an excuse to kick up my heels!

YAY!

Yeah, I talked to Erin today- she has such a calming voice! I love her to death!

Hey girls. Just checking in...

ianmichael - sorry to read about the spotting. Hopefully it is nothing, as you said, it's probably just overdoing it at the gym. You're very brave going back to working out 100%, but I guess you know what your body can take from your first pregnancy.

tabatha - I agree with ianmichael, I would call your RE to describe the pain you've having. I'm sure there is nothing wrong but it doesn't hurt to let them know.

Trying - thank you for the good luck for tomorrow. And I'm still so excited for your positive HPT's. Hurry up beta! Chances are, your beta will be the same day as my transfer.

Neffi - (((((hugs))))) and fingers crossed for a different result tomorrow.

Carolyn - snap! I also bought a couple of summer tops with room for 'growth' yesterday. It's PMA all round! Hope you are managing to keep yourself distracted in your 2ww. Are you still hungry all the time? P.S. The trigger shot did hurt a little bit, but it wasn't too bad.

sbr - what great news that you can start straight away with an FET. I'm afraid I'm not sure when Memorial Day is - what sort of dates are you thinking?

Michele - so what was today's update at your scan? Still going great guns on growing all those eggs? I imagine it is probably getting quite uncomfortable now?

AFM, counting down the hours until ER now. Not sure how well I'm going to sleep tonight! I will report in sometime tomorrow when I get home.

Hazel

Hey girls!

I don;t have much time but just wanted to keep you all updated.

I went for another u/s and scan today, and today was measurement day! (that's where she hands me a piece of paper and a pencil and asks me to write down all of the measurements). So here were my numbers...

right ovary- 15, 14, 12, 12, 12, and some 10's
left ovary- 15, 15, 15, 14, 14, 13 and some more 10's (probably about 5 10's for each ovary since they saw around 22 follies).

These are all in mm of course, and I think retrieval happens when most are between 17 and 21mm if I remember right? So my guess is that everything 12 and up at this point will hopefully give me an eggie, and she probably said 10's because they were all just smaller and may not be mature??? We shall see, it's all a waiting game now. They called with blood results and want me to reduce follistim by another 25iu's and I have to go back again tomorrow...man, they weren't kidding about the frequent flyer program!

I am excited about all of the beta's coming up in the next couple of days here...I will have to do a lot of list updated....hopefully to a lot of bfp's! I have to run, but will check in on everyone later...have a great day!

Hazel: Oh Lord, no! I won't be going back at 100%!!! It took too long to get this far to potentially endanger my little bambino (at least I hope there's one in there).

I'm not going to push myself anymore at all. Just gonna take it easy and try to relax! I won't break anymore than a brisk pace walking.

Thank you to everyone for your well wishes, it matters SOO much!

ian - sorry about your spotting. Just take it easy. I heard some womens spot every month and not every pregnacy is the same.

Trying - I know everything will be all right tomorrow.

Michelle - I don't know much about this but those numbers looks wonderful. So, you'll be in the lovely 2ww very soon.

AFM - I woke up this morning with the feeling everything will be bad. I went to the lab and after 1 hour the tec couldn't wait and said "Congratulation it is positive!!!" For the first time in 15 years I see a BFP. I laugh, cry, call everybody in my family, and cry a little more. I couldn't believe it. Thanks God!!!

My Beta is 297.50, I think is a good number, what do you think?

Hazel, Memorial Day is at the end of May. I'm really exciting...I'm still waiting for AF, though. That will determine exact dates what she shows her face!! GOOD LUCK at your ER tomorrow! Let us know how it turns out!!

Michele, Sounds like you're cooking along wonderfully! Good luck!!!

~Sarah

Sari- that is a beautiful number!

sbr · Post by **sbr** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 6:32 pm

Sari, CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy for you! This has been a very successful thread!!!

CT_Michele · Post by **CT_Michele** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 6:33 pm

Sari- That is a fantastic number...how many did you transfer and was it a 3day or 5day? Just wondering how many might be in there!

Sari · Post by **Sari** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 6:35 pm

Michelle - It was a 3 day transfer for 3 beautiful embies. I was wondering how many there are. I am just happy, it doesn't matter if its 1,2 or 3, but just courious.

Ian - Yep every tuesday. lol I had to take my husband back the hospital yesterday afternoon and he was admitted for his kidney stone. I'm waiting for him now to come out of recovery from his surgery. I thought for sure I was going to spot today since the last 24 hours has been hectic. My sister-in-law came to the hospital. She asked me if was I ok and if I had any spotting. My husband said nope it's not tuesday. lol

I like talking to Erin too. She's definitely my favorite nurse.

sari- according to my hcg calculator that I use all the time to analyze the numbers, it looks like for 15dpo, you are above the high range for a singleton...but not too high, so I wouldn't be suprised if it were one or two...I will have to check again when you get your second beta number.

You can check it out if you want:

Just make up a number for your second beta so you can see where you fall on the chart. When do you go back for your second beta?
