Kushka - I am so sorry for your news. My heart goes out to you. TAke some time and recover honey.

Sabi - Good luck tomorrow.

Abogenpohl and belle - Congratulations. Its so exciting!

prayin - doing the AF dance for you

johannanita - you are certainly not hopeless! There are so many stories on here of successes with small numbers of eggs, I am sure you can do it. I am hoping all goes well for you.

stay positive - Now you mention it I have been drinking lots too. Also, I am more relaxed than last time. Still no real side effects which is great. I feel for you being in a hotel though. The novelty soon wears off. Can you go to the movies or shopping to keep you more entertained?

AFM, I had my appointment today and they found 3 follies at 13, 12 and 11 mm each and then 20 below 10mm. They are now saying retrieval friday or monday. I am back on wednesday for another scan.

You are all in my thoughts

Evening ladies

Kushka - so sorry for you BFN. Really don't know what to say, it's so hard. No-one realises the pain unless they've been through it - that's why its so nice to have the ladies on here. We all feel each other's pain. Take some quality time with your DH and try and think positive for the future. Take care x x x

Sabi - Good look for tomorrow - throwing positive thoughts your way! Keep us posted!

Nothing really to report on me - stims going well. Got a few brusies on my legs though. Going for first scan on Friday. Trying to control my emotions for DH's sake! haha As he says, he's the one with the needle so if I'm mean to him he can hurt me! LOL But he know's better than that! :lol:

Ok ok well I need to stop being a baby and accept the fact that sometimes I will have some bleeding episodes. Fortunately since that night it stopped completely. All 3 babies are growing fast and strong. Still twins and a singleton. Baby A has a HR of 135, Baby B 127, and Baby C 133. They are measuring between 6wks5days and 6wks6days. I have been released from my RE and also can stop progesterone shots. Ahhh hearing their hb was priceless :D

Hello Ladies -
I’m still here… I have been mostly out of town for the past 2 weeks... wedding and family vacation. I can't believe I have 10 pages of posts to catch up on!!!! I will try to do my best! I really missed hearing about all that was going on with you ladies! Seems like such a rollercoaster for everyone. Lots of good news, and some sad news too.

Sarah - Uuggghhh!! I am so sorry to hear about your official BFN. I can just imagine how gutted you have felt. I am really happy that your RE said your remaining 3 are still very good embryos. It will give you hope for January. With my BFN in March, RE asked if I wanted to switch anything up for our try in June. Gave me the option of trying different estrogen, even though my March lining looked great. He said that their success rates were equal with both. So, rather than doing the estrace pill 3X daily, I did an IM shot 2X a week. I actually liked that better than trying to remember to pop the pills every day. Don't know if it is what made the difference, but maybe? Food for thought for the future. I'll be praying for you in January!!!

Prayin4BFP – My heart goes out to you honey. Kudos to you for wanting to start again right away. I will be praying and watching for you next cycle to go better!

Bey1214 and Kushka – I am sorry to hear about your BFNs. I'm sending you both hugs and prayers for strength as you come to grips with the news. Please know that I’m thinking about both of you!

Michele – I was really hoping to hear better news for you with your E2 level. I feel so bad that you are delayed again. Thanks so much for sticking with this thread and keeping so much PMA going for all of the ladies here. We will be cheering for you in August!

Mikeandjess – I hope your transfer goes perfectly tomorrow. Don’t worry about your embies… if they say they are good, then just believe them and try not to stress.

Sabi – Best wishes on your beta tomorrow. You didn’t POAS? Wow, that is impressive!

Carolyn, Abogenpohl, Daisy106 and Belle – Congratulations on your BFPs! Way to go girls!

Rosario - Glad all is well with your 3. Lucky you for being off progesterone. I am supposed to stay on it for 12 weeks!

Nicole - How are you doing? Hope you are feeling good!

For all of you stimming gals – Grow follies grow… may they be plentiful, beautiful, and full of happy eggs!

For you 2wwers – Always remember first and foremost that you are PUPO! It is ok and completely expected to have a meltdown and lots of anxiety though. Just try to have your moment and then go back to the PMA. I am sending peaceful, tranquil thoughts your way. Let all of us do the worrying for you!

New ladies – Welcome! I hope that we can all offer you the support and encouragement you need.

Sorry I don't have personals for everyone. But, I think about all of you and pray for you as I have been reading and catching up.

AFM - My first scan is July 6th. I am so grateful to be pregnant. Just trying to take it one day at a time and be cautiously optimistic. I want to tell everyone after our scan. DH wants to wait until our 12 week OB appointment. Well, my mom's 60th b-day is 3 days after our scan and I can't think of a better present than to tell her... so we shall see who wins out :)

Sarah, Kushka and Bey - big hugs to you all. There's nothing to say except it just plain sucks. Hang in there.

congrats to all the BFP's - its such a neat thing to log on and see these ++++

A question for you all, I am now day 7 (4 days past 3dt) and when I went to pee in the middle of the night there was some brownish discharge on the toilet paper. A really small amount but it was there. Nothing since. Could this be just old blood left over from transfer? I am too scared to believe its implantation bleeding as it just seems too early.

What do you guys think?

hi everyone it's bey1214 (Holly B )
Sabi- thank you so much for your warm words - and Good Luck on your Beta tomorrow - i'll be thinking of you !!!

EYCI- thank you too for the warm words!

wishfull27- thank you too :) and congrats on your BFP !!!!! that is sooo terrific

wicked wheel- thank you too :) and in my opinion it's blood left over from the transfer I had the same thing last week.

Even though my BFN came to me today I will be talking to my RE tomorrow AM and hopefully starting another fresh cycle very soon. I wish they would let me do back to back cycles but they don't . They make me wait a month in between and it drives me crazy.

bey: I'm really sorry...it's gotta be so hard. I'm gonna tell you to keep the faith but I'll understand if you want to tell me to shut-up! :wink: Know that we are thinking of you and are here for you.

sabi: It's sooooo close! I will be thinking of you and can't wait to read the posts tomorrow, so don't keep us in limbo too long. Here's to crossed fingers! And you must be one disciplined lady to not POAS!!!!!

mikeandjess: Good luck tomorrow! I think it will be a piece of cake from what I've heard, so think positively and keep us posted.

AFM: I still have about 15 follies that are growing strong, about 5 of them are already at the desired size. The clinic thinks my trigger will be tomorrow night, then ER on Thursday but I'll know the definite word tomorrow. They went ahead and had me completely stop my Gonal-F and my Menopur so things must be getting very, very close. My E2 was 3,869 so that looks like all is close as well. Soooooo.....that's the latest. It better happen soon because I'm climbing the walls here!

I will say that tonight while I was on the phone I looked out my window of my hotel room and there was a huge rainbow straight out the window. I took it as a good omen and stopped in the middle of my call to take photos of it! :lol: Let's hope that bodes well for the future!

Hugs to everyone!

Stay Positive---The rainbow is an good omen. 15 follies that is a great number congrats. You are all most there!

HollyB---So sorry Holly HUGGSS, let us know what the doctor says tomorrow.

Wickedwheel---A little bit of brown blood is normal, as long as it is not red they say nothing to worry about. If you are concerned talk to one of the nurses at the clinic. Sending you healthy baby vibes.

Julie---Hope you had a good vacation. How are you feeling? I too have my scan on July 6th, however today a have had a little pain and my doctor wants to see me tomorrow. I don’t think it is anything to worry about, but it is better safe than sorry.

Rosario---Yeah you are being released from the clinic. Your babies have strong heart beats and are measuring perfectly, congrats Mommy.

Vicky---Sim away, grow follies grow.

Bey--- IVF is so emotional draining, sorry to hear about your BFN. Just know we are here for you.

Angeinhull--- I am doing a grow follies dance for you.

Sabi---Can’t believe you resisted POAS, you go girl. Sending you good beta vibes.

belle-02---A HUGE congratulations to you BFP!!!! Can’t wait to see your beta on Wednesday.

prayin4BFP--- I am doing the AF dance for you. My doctor also did slow stim on my cycle, she said it is the new trend, it increase the quality of the eggs.

Mikeandjess---YEAH tomorrow is the big day! Relax and enjoy being PUPO.

TrueBeliever---Your FET is just around the corner, sending tons of baby dust.

Johannanita---Sending you the PMA bug. Keep us posted.

tanya123---Yuck you have to take progesterone gel and injections. Grow little embies grow.

Kushka---My heart goes out to you. You are so lucky to have a strong marriage, don’t give up you will get your BFP.

Daisy106----YEAH BFP!!! When is your beta. I too have POAS many times, can’t stop myself LOL.

Sorry for those of you I have missed, thinking of all of you. Sending baby dust to all.

AFM---I have been having a little pain in my lower right abdomen, my doctor wants me to come in tomorrow. I am not too worried, but you can never be too cautious. I feel lucky so far no morning sickness. However, my belly is getting so big I think it must be the progesterone, if it continues at this rate I will never make it to the 3rd trimester without telling work.
