Hi everyone! I went in for my transfer today and everything went well. We ended up transferring 2 embies and are giving the third one 2 days to see if it can be frozen. So, I'm now on the 2WW! I'm not going to POAS, b/c I didn't last time and I think doing so would freak me out. Fingers crossed, praying hard, and staying positive that thinking implanty thoughts.

Hello Ladies... i am so happy to report that I am "officially" pregnant. I have been crying all day, even though I had POAS, it is different once you get those beta numbers. As you all know, we were so affraid, that first our sole embie wouldn't make it through the thaw and was doubtful that it would be successful. As we have all heard before it only takes one, and so many of us are living proof of that. We are ecstatic, but fearful at the same time. Having a pregnancy lost can make the next pregnancy scary. I think I will be paranoid of every little thing, and it's going to be a long 36 weeks to come. I am looking forward to it and hopefully I can stay sane. The Lord has many blessings, and I hope we get to meet our child in April.

I go for 2nd beta Sunday, and hopefully the numbers have increased and continue to look good. BTW my beta was 188, I am 9dp6dt (FET). Thanks for all the words of comfort and support, you guys really mean the world to me. You would think we have all met and have known each other for years.

To my other ladies that are in the 2WW and stimming your time is coming.. I have faith, that I will log on to see many more BFPs on this thread to end it nicely...

To my other ladies that are starting the process to begin a cycle or frozen cycle, you are and will continue to stay in my prayers. God is good, and he has a plan for each and every one of us. We all have been faced with many challenges, but he does not put more on us that we can handle. Stay POSITIVE!!

Hugs, Prayers and Baby Dust to ALL!!!

There is noway I could ever do all the personals so:
Congrats to all those BFP's!
Stay Possitive to all those waiting!!

My ER went excellent. 14 eggs were retrieved and of the 14, eleven fertilized!!! They will call day three (tomorrow) and let us know how they are getting along. Monday at 8:00 I'll go for me transfer :D I'm a total nervous wreck already!

Hi everyone

Just stopping in to say thanks for all your kind words.

Lastest result is 5937 so still in the game (up from 1611). another bt in a week and may have another scan next week to see if they can see a heartbeat.

Rosario - I was so happy to hear that everything is still ok with your 3.

ct_michelle - thanks for changing me to a BFP! I didn't even think of that. Yes still on progestrone. I think they are waiting for #'s to go up more and also see if there might be a heartbeat before they wean me off them.

wicked- I am so glad to hear those numbers keep going up. I was asking about progesterone b/c if they thought it was chemical in the beginning, a lot of clinics tell you to stop taking the progesterone, but I am glad in your case that they told you to continue. I hope you get to see a hb at the scan.

Rosario- so glad to hear those 3 beans are all doing well. And almost second trimester...woohoo!

hazel- wow you are close to your FET, I am so excited for you and will be praying extra hard for you :D

true- congrats on the official news! It does all get real once you have the beta.

marymeg- congrats on being PUPO!

afnss- a line is a line, if you don;t trust it, get one of those digital ones that says pregnant or not pregnant, but it sounds like a positive to me, congrats!

johan- I think day 1 is the first full day of period. My clinic has you come in on day 2, 3 or 4.

angie- only 2 days, I am sending you patience dust!

ok, ella is screaming for attention, gotta run, talk to you all soon.

morning ladies - have been reading just not enough energy to post .. so here goes !!

wicked - congrstulations - sounds like you have one little fighter in there - good luck for your scan xx

rosario - wow nearly 12 weeks - keeping you in my thoughts and prayers xx

hazel - all crossed for good results on monday xxx

True - another 'official' BFP - soooo happy for you and DH xx

michelle - yeh on starting lupron - hope all goes ok at suspression check scan xx

lw918 - excellent fert report - good luck for monday - how many will you transfer ?? xx

marymegan - congrats on being PUPO hope you are taking it easy xx

afnss - a line is a line - faint or not - like CT said I would try a digital one .. when is official Beta ??

Johannanita - doing an Af jig for you xx

Angein hull - not long till tomorrow - praying for your BFP honey xxx - do you go for beat or pee on a stick ??

vicky1707 - sending you sticky baby dust - not long till wednesday - keep up the PMA xx - I felt no different in the 2ww from when I got my BFP to my 3 BFN cycles - if anything I was sure it would not work as balsts were lower quality than previous attempt and if that did not work why would this !! - so it just goes to show that we can analyse all we like but it makes no difference - i kept saying to DH I would like one of this nature watch cameras inside my belly to atch what is going on like they have on birds nests watching eggs hatch - I think most frustrating part is we have no control over the outcome and being a control freak myself i find that extemely hard :roll:

Nicki - hope 2nd glueclose test went ok xx

Sprout - congrats on the BFP - am delighted for you and DH xx

Hello to all those wonderful ladies I have missed - am thinking and praying that you will all have a succesfful outcome xx

AFM - just knackered by 8pm and need to sleep - appetite like I am eating for 10 and some nausea although accupuncure is helping big time with that !!

Take care

carolyn xx

Day 2 of the 2WW! I go for Beta on August 4. Here's a question...how easy should I take it? It was easy to do absolutely nothing in my last cycle, which was in Jan./Feb. b/c it was so darn cold. I just sat around and watched tv! Yesterday, I laid on the couch all day long. Seriously, I got home from the transfer at 12ish and sat on the couch until 10 when I went to bed. This morning, I went w/ my DH to walk the dog. I hope that wasn't too much. Anyhoo....just wondering.

Hello ladies

afnss - I'm in my 2ww (had my ET on 15/07) but have resisted the POAS! This is my 4th cycle and I've never POAS so didn't feel brave enough to do it this cycle either! I'm having very similar symptoms as you. I'm just constantly feeling like AF will arrive any minute. Also peeing a lot as well! But like you I'm taking suppositories so it's hard to know whether you feel different b/c you're pregnant or b/c of the drugs!! All will be revealed for me on Wednesday. A lot of people do say a line is a line, albeit a faint one - so a big congrats! :D Remember to keep us posted with your beta results!

Rosario - so pleased to hear from you and the 3 babies! :D You take it easy and enjoy every minute of it x

marymeganB - welcome to teh 2ww!! arrrgghhhhh Let the fun begin! lol It is difficult to know what you can and can't do. I know the nurses say to carry on as normal but it's so hard when you have a embie(s) instead trying to hang on! ha Sending baby dust to you x

truebeliever - massive congrats to you and DH. Well done x

wishful27 - haha if only we could have a camera in our belly to see what's going on! I do feel different this time, but I had a FET last year and my last fresh cycle was Nov 07 so it's hard to think back that far if I felt like this! Well suppose I will find out in a few days! x

angeinhull - Good Luck for tomorrow. So hope it's a BFP for you :D

Well I've had a lovely day with my friend today shopping for bridesmaid dresses. Didn't like the fact that I've put on quite a few lbs and my normal dress size was slight (a lot!) tigher than usual! lol I feel so tired now and bloated! Was glad to get home and lay out on the sofa! I couldn't even be bothered to shop - now that is something as my husband and friends say i'm a shopaholic!! lol Had a much better day today. :D

Thank you all soooo much for your support, it has made the last cycle more bearable.

I will be contacting my boss today though as 2 people at workhave swine flu!

Vicky I am sure this is your time too

KJGrant and Marymeganb good luck. All these positive vibes must be a good sign!

Ange I am so pleased for you. Congratulations to you and DH :D Well done x I'd definitely avoid work for a while! I work at HRI and I will definitely be avoiding there if I am pregnant!!

3 days to go for me. I'm thinking of POAS maybe Monday or Tueday, so it'll prepare me for Wednesday! Plus it's my friends little girls 1st b'day on Thurs and she's having a party on Saturday and I really don't want to miss it. So I'm thinking if it's a BFN then hopefully I'll be able to pull myself together before Saturday! Doesn't help that out of my group of friends they'll only be 1 that isn't pregnant!

Hi Juod

I know how you feel... I had my 3 day transfer on the 19th and it is driving me crazy. I am supposed to go on the 31st for bloodwork. Have you had any symptoms??? Cramping? DH has been giving me daily progesterone injections so I know I can't depend too much on symptoms.
Good Luck! :D
