CONGRATULATIONS LADYBUGGGG!!!!! Whoo hoo. The first of us is BFP - that is a good sign for the rest of us! Those are really high numbers - did you put two back in or just one? I think sometimes with twins the numbers are higher earlier.

So I did a POAS this AM (10dp5dt), and it was faintly positive. I had a weird eposide where I almost fainted and had some terrible cramping and really bad nauseau all at once this morning so we phoned the nurse and they told us to come in for an ultrasound and pregnancy blood test tomorrow. So tomorrow we will know for sure.

Fitz - 5 day transfer is great news - that means you have some strong embies! Best of luck Wednesday and remember to take it easy both BEFORE and after.

Miner - That is great news - sounds like you have great chances, for twins even! Good luck with the 2WW. Take it easy.

Mjay - Thanks for the positive words, I have to say I still feel a bit doubtful even after a positive HPT. I guess it will take the beta before I relax a bit. So nerve wracking! I say eat away if you are hungry - I was hungrier too on the meds - just as long as it is healthy, go for it. Good luck with the 2WW. It will go by slowly but keep up your spirits.

Dtao - Hang in there, you'll get to the end of the 2ww! Try to keep busy and see people alot, and every time you can, put your feet up and rest.

JG - How are you getting along and how are you feeling? Are you going to do a HPT?

Got to run gals - I'll check in with you after I know the results of the beta. I'm off to mass, I will pray for BFP for everyone.

Hopeful

Hopeful_cycle_one: THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. Yes I started it off so you ladies have to continue. I transferred 2 embies so I pray they both snuggled in tight. I was originally scheduled for tomorrow but I spotted so they brought me in earlier. So i pray it doubles or tripples on Tues. Thats my next beta date. That is great you got a faint line. I did also on day 10. Thats a good sign. I pray all goes well tomorrow and will keep you in my prayers. I think it will be good. They said they wont do my ultrasound until my beta is @ least 1500. I wonder why. I wanna see :( lol. Wish you luck. Keep the PMA


Mjay: Thanks soo much. I am relieved and very happy I dont know what to do with myself but I will take it easy. DH is so excited. Hope your 2ww is going smoothly besides the dreadful wait.

Baby Dust to all. PMA ladies

Hi Ladies,
I hope you all had a great weekend! I see there's a lot of great news here on the board, so ladybug and hopeful, congrats on your BFP's, how exciting!!!!

Miner- great news on the great lookin embies!

fitz- your numbers sound great and it's great that you're doing a 5 day! That means that they think they look really really good!

mjay- how's the 2ww going? When do you get your beta?

AFM- My weekend was good. I ended up POAS and it was positive! I started spotting this morning though, so I am truly freaked out and i'm praying that it's not just a chemical pregnancy. I know that spotting is common, but I can't seem to make myself convinced of that. I have my beta on Wednesday, but I wonder if they'll take me any sooner...

So ladies I after that weird fainting episode this weekend and the postitive HPT, I went in for a blood test and ultrasound this AM....AND THE BETA WAS POSITIVE!!!!!

We're OFFICIALLY PREGGERS :lol: :lol: :lol: with one perfect singleton. The next beta is Wednesday so I am praying for a good result.

Thanks for all your support ladies and I said a special prayer for all of you that you get great results too. DH is excited, but he is still of the 'one day at a time' mentality and here I am picking out baby carriages already.

The only downside is that my ultrasound showed some slight hyperstimulation and fluid, so that might explain my big belly at least :-) but I have a very mild case.

JG - Don't worry spotting is normal! Alot of people have spotting can be a good sign of the little guys 'digging in'! After I told them my HPT was postitive, they insisted I come in for a beta, so you should def. phone them and tell them you want an early beta. The waiting AFTER my HPT was the worst, so see if you can get it over early!

Miner, Fitz, MJAY any news?? Sounds like you're all doing well so far! Hang in there. There is good karma on this board.

Hopeful

Got my transfer time for Wed 1pm, so just waiting, I go back to work (school) next week so that will help the 2 ww pass by fast i hope. I still have some stomach cramping from the ER, how long till all that goes away? Not having any apts for a few days is a nice break! Good luck to all!! My DH's bday is the 13th, so i'm hoping for a great bday gift for him!

mjay- yep, tomorrow's the big day! I took another test this morning and it was another BFP! Still dark brown spotting, but the nurse called me back yesterday and said it was to be expected with the crinone gel, so that made me feel better. I've had a lot of cramping and they said that was normal too. I'm looking forward to seeing what they say tomorrow. How are you doing? Did you make your appointment yet for your beta?

hopeful- Congratulations! I'm very excited for you! Such awesome news! That's awesome that you got an ultrasound too! Just try and relax and get some rest! I did call yesterday about moving the beta up, but they shot that down pretty quickly. They just assured me that it was normal and unless it turns red or it turns to full flow, that i'll just have to wait until Wednesday. I'm a little impatient, but i'm just trying to convince myself that it's totally common. This is probably TMI, but it doesn't even seem like it's blood, it's so brown and murky looking.

fitz- I was cramping for awhile after ER too. It took me awhile to feel normal again. Tomorrow's the big day! I'm very excited for you, you're almost at your 2ww! Let us know what they say!

ladybug- Do you get your 2nd beta results today or do you have to wait until tomorrow? I'm praying that your number is nice and high tomorrow. My u/s tech said that they can't normally see the baby in an u/s until your hcg level is over 1500. They probably won't do it before that because they wouldn't want to scare you.

Miner- hope everything's going great!

AFM- I am 8dp5dt and just hanging in there for my blood test tomorrow. I have to admit that I am probably in the bathroom every hour inspecting the toilet paper!

jg_379: when did you first POAS? were you concerned about the trigger still being in you system? gotta go in tomorrow for an ultrasound so i'm not sure if they'll be able to tell anything tomorrow.

hi mjay- I first POAS on Friday and it was negative, so I knew the trigger was out of my system. Also, I triggered 15 days ago, so according to everything i've read, it's out of your system in 10-12 days, and at the most 14 days, so I figured, if anything, this morning I was in the clear. Each test i've taken (and i'll admit, i've taken one every morning since Friday :-)) has gotten progressively darker, so I think that's probably a good sign too. Of course, i'm not relying on anything but the blood test! This is just giving me some comfort until then. Why do you need an u/s, is everything okay? I mentioned it in my last post, but the u/s tech told me that they usually can't see a baby until hcg levels are above 1500 (unless they have some supersonic ultrasound machine or something), so just in case you don't see anything, don't be worried! I'm hoping that you do though!

Well it is getting active in here with all the news of BFP's! Congradulations to all of you... I am so happy for ya'll.

Hopeful- Stopping fainting.... LOL! You are making me nervous... :lol: Try and take it easy... Congrads on the wonderful news!!

Fitz- Good Luck with your transfer... You will do GREAT!!!

Mjay- Aren't we on the same schedule?? I am scared to take a HPT... I don't think I will take one. They have always been bad luck for me.. You too need to stop fainting... :wink: it makes me nervous... Are you going to test? When do you go in for your Beta?

JG- Way to go.. Congrads!!! This is awesome news. Take care and try not to worry about the bleeding..I am told it is completly normal.

AFM-I am starting to get discouraged..I am over thinking every little thing.. I am only 3dp5dt. I have had some mild cramping and mild lower back pain which I am told is a good sign. But this 2ww is cramp... I am not even sure I want to know at this point if I am pregnant because I am so scared of the dissappointment. I really think that the hormones are starting to effect my mind.. Sorry to be Debbie Downer but I am a little hormonal.. Does anyone know if the progrestrone shots can cause the cramping too?

Take care all...
