Hi girls -

Alright now, I check in alot, and still there are 2 more pages! I give up, you are some typing females! :wink: I've started to have the thoughts that even if there are in a dish right now, I have embies!! Wow, I never thought i would feel this possesive about it. I was wondering if there are still dividing, still growing, then was sort of jealous that only the Embryologist can see them. Yes, apparently I have lost it! I just hope they grow & stick! If I have to do this again, I'll need better typing skills to keep up with you all!! :lol:

michele- Take it one day at a time, you of all women know how early it is! Maybe I should have said one stick at a time? How come you're not using the first am urine? I thought that was the POAS rule?

stats -thanks hon! I wish that #3 would catch up too, but RE didnt sound likely. how much longer for you? And how has your teen terrors been? Hopefully at their mom's! :lol:

wolffie -crossed for your u/s to have great sacs! - boy that just sounds weird! anyway good luck!

johannanita -thanks! sending you some patience dust! its almost friday! how excited are you?

teachermom -thanks! Your story inspires me! I can only hope for such a wonderful outcome! how old is she now?

miyaya -I agree, your embies are definitely better off in you! I've heard quite a few posts on here of going to ET with 1 and BFP! Please stay hopeful!
best of luck to you at ET tomorrow!

stlgirl -I'm so sorry, theres nothing to say to make it hurt less. Regroup, heal and we will be here when you are ready. HUGS to you!

j & c -wishing you big huge follies & a trigger date! Good luck tomorrow!

hugs & prayers to us all! - xoxo

I had a friend with my exact #'s and she had twins, don't dispare. I'm just overly pesimistic. You can look her up on itunes... no pea in the podcast sept- oct 2007. You can hear all about it.
Other podcasts that are great... "Just Relax, It'll Happen", "Concieve on air", and as I said "no pea in the podcast" - which is my fav.
Hope we all have better no.'s next time!

Katie - um...you won't need better typing skills for the next time around....you'll need them for when you move over to the pregnancy forum!!! LOL...hoping for great sacs...that does sound weird!

kala - thanks girl! I will let you guys know as soon as I get to work tomorrow. How are things in Serbia?

moorebaby - I'm sending you lots of doubling dust!!! Sometimes a double takes 72 hours and your betas were 48 hours, right? I'm hoping your beta shoots through the roof!

malya - what day post transfer was the 1521 beta? It sounds within normal ranges to me.

shelby - blowing lots and lots of darkening dust to you!

stlgirl - ((hugs)) so sorry.

Michele - where did your PMA go?! That line will be there tomorrow! I'm praying for ya!

kiwi - Yay for a line! Wahoo!

stats - have you gotten your b/w results yet?

Thanks for all of the wonderful encouragement. :D I'm feeling soooooo bloated today, so I'm hoping that means that my follies are growing, growing, growing and we'll be able to trigger tomorrow night. *hoping, hoping* My next appointment is tomorrow, so we'll see what they say. I'm so ready to get to the ER right now. My arm (from the 3 sticks for blood yesterday) is bruised all over. I'm embarrassed to wear a short sleeved shirt right now. The joys of the IVF process. I am already praying that they will be able to get my blood tomorrow on the first try.

Can someone remind me how many days the trigger is in your system? So many of you are on the POAS marathon that I'm considering doing it myself. Too fun!


Michelle and kiwi - WHEW-HEW to your faint lines on the HPT. LOVE it!!! Keep us updated. :D

katie - 2 beautiful embies. Congrats!!! Grow, embies, grow!!!! Thursday sounds like a great transfer date. Right before the weekend, where you can relax. :D

miyaya - I know it's been said before, but it does only take one. Hopefully it will be the only one you'll need.

stlgirl - I am so sorry. I too am hoping for a sibling for our DD. I understand the yearning and the hurt. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

shelby - Oh my goodness - 4 sticks???? :shock: I would have definitely lost it.

Oh god! I can not wait until the morning just so I can pee again! Btw, I did another one tonight and no luck...but still lots of hope for the morning. I swear I will not do three tomorrow, maybe just 2, or maybe it depends on what happens in the morning...oh my god, I am a MONSTER! Is it possible that 20 will not be enough? I think I have 14 left...eeeek! (Please don't mind my temporary insanity, I expected this would happen, and I know it is not permanent.) Off to bed....to dream of poas in the morning! I'm like a kid on christmas eve!

Hi Ladies,

I have not been on this site for almost 2 years now, but I am in the middle of a fresh IVF cycle in my 2ww and I am going crazy. Up for hours last night. The crazier thing is that CT_Michelle was my cycle buddy then my pregnant buddy for our first kids and now our beta is on the same day. Seems like she bought HPT's in bulk and I did not have that particular forsight.

Good luck to everyone! waiting sucks.

OMG...I just got done with my pap smear. It was absolute hell!! i dont think the doctor used any KY jelly and I was so tense, she kept shoving that damn thing around. I was literally crying out in pain. I also had blood drawn agian with that giant needle.
But after all is said and done, I did get good news: my estradiol level is 85, so they are going to keep me on 150UI of Gonal F b/c Im responding well. Wooo hooo!

Wolffie-Serbia is good, just boring. I feel too tired to do anything. So I just lay around and go back and forth to belgrade every few days to meet with the doctor. It is nice to see DH's family and friends, but I am not myself right now, so everyone asks what wrong with me. Im just trying to be patient.

Have a great day!

MLB - Great to have you join us :D ! The more the merrier! congrats on being in your 2ww. It's dreadful isn't it? I have added you to our little family and can't wait to see your BFP!

Michele - It's ok.....take a deep breath......and say, 'mmmmmmmm'. If all else fails and you run out of strips I'm sure there is a Dollar store or Wally World close by that will have HPTs. I just went yesterday and bought 3 from the dollar store. You are so funny, though. I never thought I would be on this POAS marathon with you, but it's addicting!!!! I've done it twice a day since Monday! LOL!

Kala
- Sorry about your awful experience with the pap :( , but I am excited that you are progressing nicely! That's great news! You'll be in your 2ww in no time!

AFM
- I POAS again..... still +! Now I'm starting to get excited! There's no way it could be the trigger now! I'm going to email my clinic and tell them the story because I know one of the ladies won't be there on Friday and she told me she wants a phone call after the results. Figured I'd give them to her a little early :wink:

FET

Post by michaelajt73 »

Hi guys.. am new to this so please excuse.
Have already done 1 fresh ET which resulted in a BFP which unfortunately did not sustain.
On 26th Sept we did a FET a la natural with no pre and post meds.... what do you guys think of this?
