Sorry I don't have time for personals. DH is asleep at the moment and I'm a fugitive in the computer room at my house. hehe.
I had my ET yesterday. All 4 made it, but we only had 1 x pretty much perfect 8 celled, 1 x so-so 8, 1 x much less than ideal 7, and 1x6. We also had 1 x late bloomer at 5. The doc said his recommendation was to transfer 2 or 3 (I think because he didn't think much of the 7-celled one). And I was torn. I can't imagine triplets, but DH said "if it comes to that we would just have to suck it up." I <3 him. We transfered 3. He's growing the 6 and the 5 out to day 5 to determine whether or not I'll have any frosties.
I'm in love with my multi-celled not-even-blastocyst babies. Is that completely weird? I know it's dangerous, but why play it safe in love? I pat my belly and tell them to be healthy and I love them no matter what. I say a prayer for the 5 celled and 6 celled embies in the lab to be strong and grow. There is no end to my insanity.
Gotta run. I'll try to get on again later.
- Sangria
September/October Cycling Friends!
thank you so much everyone! i'm still in shock. my dh thinks he remembers the nurse saying my hcg level was at 152. is that a good #? is that an indication of a single or multiples? i have my 2nd beta tomorrow so i'll know more about the progress. it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING knowing that there is a beautiful child inside of my growing that my dh & i made...well with the help of some great doctors & nurses 
i'm sending lots of baby dust to everyone!!!

malya - when I was pregnant with my ds I had orgasms in my sleep quite often during the first trimester. I also woke up with the same cramping. Everything was always fine. I'm not sure why it happened. A friend of mine also said she experienced the same thing.
sangria - You are now PUPO!!! I think it is totally normal to all ready be in love with your "multi cell not even blastocyst babies"! Those little ones will feel your positive energy and I'm sure that will help them grow!
moorebaby - how many days post transfer was your beta done? was it a 3 or 5 day transfer?
Wishing everyone well!

Hello Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing well.
Sangria - You are not crazy. I talked to my embies every day after ET. I told them that mommy loves them very much and they should stick around for a while. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
miyaya - YAY for trigger!!! GL tomorrow morning!! I'll be thinking of you.
malya324 - I wasn't put on pelvic rest. As a matter of fact, all I was told was no sex for a week after ET. I've talked to the nurse 2x now and she said to drink lots of fluids that the cramping could be from dehydration.
I've also been spotting on and off so don't freak out. I know easier said than done. Wait til you read below.
J&C - Doing the grow follies grow dance for you.
moorebaby - YAY!!! Congrats!! Another BFP!!! That is awesome. I am extremely happy for you!!! Enjoy it. Can't wait to hear your second beta on Monday!!!
sancap14 - You are doing such a selfless thing by doing this show. I know your story will help so many women out there. I just had to laugh at your last post about the camera men filming your u/s. I told DH about you. All he could say was WOW!
GL tomorrow!! Your ET is same day as my first scan. What an eventful day that's going to be. Actually it sounds like an eventful week for all!
rayofsunshine - I hope that this will be your time Hun.
kala0704 - WOW, I thought the weather would be bad there. Is it their summer time? I think Serbia and I think freezing. lol I'm hoping everything continues to go well for you!
katie - I'm so happy for you. GL tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you too.
AFM, Well, I had a little episode last night. On my way from the bathroom last night, I felt a really sharp pain in my stomach. It went away really quickly so i tried to think nothing of it. Then when I laid down I had a little more cramping. I kept waiting for more pain to come, but nothing happened. warning TMI alert!! Then I got up around 4 am to use the bathroom when I wiped there was blood. It wasn't bright red and it wasn't blood clots. I hadn't seem that shade of red before during my spotting so I started freaking out. I kept wiping and it became less and less with every wipe. I was still freaking out!! I didn't want to cry and scare DH. All he kept on saying was, it's going to be ok. Of course we couldn't sleep after that. i went to the bathroom 3x before finally falling asleep and every time it was less and less so I figured I was ok. I set my alarm for 7 am so I could call the clinic in case they wanted me to come in. No luck. I talked to the nurse for a long time and she assured me I was fine. She said it could have been from the embryo attaching to the uterine wall or the placenta ( or something like that) She said it could have cause bruising and caused a hematoma (sp?) and that's what made me bleed. She also said if you're dehydrated it could irritate the uterus. Also she said if your bladder is too full or after emptying your bladder it could irritate your uterus. She said had I come in this morning that they would have seem me and given me a scan, but since I called in and I'm fine, then there is no need. 
I'm glad she thinks I'm ok but I would have loved a scan for reassurance. She also asked me if I had any morning sickness and I said no. She said oh you're SO lucky!! I said well I'm never lucky! She said are you kidding me, not only are you pregnant but you have 2 frosties. She said they couldn't have hoped for a better cycle for me. That was nice of her. After I fell asleep this morning, I had a dream that I had gone in to the office and the doctor said the fetuses are just fine. I pray that it's true. I can't wait for Friday already. I just know this week is going to drag!
I'll be thinking of all of you!

Mama Moorebaby... YAY!! Congrats to you and your DH. That is amazing news... so happy for you. Keep us posted on tomorrows numbers.
Sangria... You are NOT crazy. I am the exact same way. Even my DH talks to and pats my belly. It is dangerous... but you are right about love... You have to do it with all your heart.
My first BETA is tomorrow. I am so nervous... I have to work and worry about a bad call while I'm working. I'm going to stay positive though.
good luck to all..
Have a restful and peaceful Sunday.

moorebaby - from what I have read predicting multiples based on hcg has more to do with how much it doubles and in what time period. how many days after transfer was your beta done? check out betabase.info, it has an average hcg break down based on singletons and multiples. I am obsessing over numbers now!
johannanita - what a scare! i'm thinking bout you girl!! when is your u/s?

Just popping in to tell everyone that I will be scarce today and possibly tomorrow. Work has just piled on a ton of cases that have to be completed by tomorrow. That's the sucky part about working at home....you never leave work. Take care and good luck to everyone! I promise to catch up ASAP

Hi girls -
Ok trigger went fine, but then I was crampy for like an hr afterwards, I didnt remember that happening last time, but I feel fine today! Anxious though! Now the real stress starts. And last time was a 2 day transfer over a weekend, and they forgot to call with a fert report! I can tell you, thats nots gonna fly this time! Wish me luck tomorrow, I feel like I need as much as I can get!
sancap -Hope your ER went well today! let us know!
shelby -thanks, hon! I hope so too!
kala -love the price of meds there! hope you're not having a rough time with the language barrier! brave girl!
rayofsunshine -fingers crossed for your IUI! I pray that this is your BFP!
moorebaby -CONGRATULATIONS!!! beta 152? fantastic!
j &c - I hardly had symptoms this time, maybe less is better for us?
Do you have a u/s today? crossed for your follies!
miyaya -Good luck tomorrow! my RE & Embryologist decides what day transfer based on how many eggs, maturity, & fert. Last time he gave me a 2 day(only had 3 fert, only 1 was good) so I'm hoping for a 3 day this time, but wont be surprised with a 2 day. I'll let you know tomorrow!
sangria - YAY PUPO!!!
johannanita -Scary! But totally normal. Glad that you & embies are ok!
michele -How are you holding up?
Sorry if i left anyone out, but you are all in my thoughts & prayers! xoxo

hey guys, i haven't had the heart to post, because my heart has been ripped out and replaced TOO much this week. as for us...(oh and i'll catch up on how everyone is doing later).
things didn't go quite as planned. first of all i wasn't stimming as well as they liked.. luckily they got 9 eggies. the next morning, NONE of them had fertilized. my clinic doesn't have icsi at this site (to keep costs down to 8500).. so we were crushed. fortunately, the next day (2d after the retrieval) 2 had miraculously fertilzed. they did a 2 day transfer, but the embies had not even divided yet, they were too little. so the odds are VERY slim but at least we got to "finish" out the cycle and not have a total loss. i'm done with bedrest and now just SUPER bloated, crampy, and my BOOBS kill, something i've never had? so we'll see
has anyone heard of eggs that are late fertilizers that actually turn into a BFP?? i'm so doubtful.
ash

marya - GL with Beta tomorrow. Can't wait to hear!!
wolffie - u/s is all they way on Friday. SOOO far away. lol
moorebaby - There was more to my dream but I had already typed too much. People kept on coming into the room. Even a bunch of trick o treating kids opened the door to the exam room. It was a nice dream though. I'll be at the doctor's office on Friday at 8:30am. Can't wait!
katie99 - That's what the nurse said, that it was normal. Yes, I think we're all doing well. DH said that the boys were fighting and told them to calm down and listen to their mother.
akowens - I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I don't have any experience with what you're going through but I hope everything works out for you. I'm sending you (((HUGS)))
sancap14 - What a great #!!! Can't wait to hear your fert report. I think the people in your exam rum during your u/s made it into my dream this morning. lol
