awokens - PMA PMA, your little ones might be stronger than you think

[katie99]

Today I just cant stay away it seems!
Ok I called clinic & was told that I'm crampy because of ER, Re did alot of poking (flushing ) to my ovaries, they say it isnt the crinone. And that its normal to feel like this for 4-5 days, guess I just got lucky the 1st time!

michele -thanks hon! Are you feeling more positive today? Sending you a boatload of PMA! And the stickiest thoughts!

Oh, I almost forgot, DH said the sweetest thing before, he said "we have babies! so what if they're in a dish right now, babies nonetheless" I thought that was pretty cute, of course I'm still loaded full of hormones xoxo

I've been trying all day to get on the computer. I had to get down here to post this, and I'll be back later to "catch-up" and list personals.

My SNS went great today. We'll trigger tonight (THANK GOD!!!!) at 11:15 p.m., and my ER will be on Friday at 10:30 a.m. I had 8 follies on one side and 12 on the other. The largest was 19, a few 17 and then on down. I'm so uncomfortable and bloated that I could hardly sleep last night, so I'm so excited to trigger tonight. I never thought I would be so excited about a stupid shot. Oh, and they got my blood on the first try today. I was praying that it wouldn't be another 3 stick try.

My only other problem at the moment is that my best friend who was suppose to watch our DD Friday morning just backed out, so now I'm scrambling for a sitter. I'm praying to find someone quick.

More later.

Hi ladies. Back from transfer. We got good and not so good news. They did a two day transfer...usually they expect to see 2-4 cells....mine was six so that is great. However it was a C grade for frag and average for symmetry. Not sure what to make of it. They said they have seen BFPs come from lower grades with less cells so you never know. I am not expecting much but we gave it the best shot we had this cycle. Off to rest, but I will catch up later....

Hi just wanted to let you know that my son (and another embryo transferred) were both of "C" & "average" quality. He is now an above average 14 month old! DO NOT lose hope!

I have been reading all of these posts since I started my first IVF cycle in 2007. I am now in my 2nd IVF cycle. My beta test is 10/2. I have not posted until tonite (except maybe one time in 2008). It is the most positve bunch of women I have had the blessing of "knowing" I am finishing up my 2WW and hoping for the BEST for all of you. The time will come for each and every one of you great ladies.
Good Luck to all!

[J&C]

Ok, now that I've had time to catch up on the posts...

Michelle - I'm still PMAing for you!! The POAS marathon is a definite roller coaster. Especially since it took a while for the line to show with your first child, you know it's going to take a while for this one too. Can't wait to see your post when it's a big, fat dark line. PMA!!!

kala - I'm so sorry that your pap was miserable. Once, I got pinched by the speculum thingy (super technical term there). That's a new kind of pain!!! Every year, I tell the doctor that I've been pinched by that thing, and it better not happen again. LOL I'm so glad things are going well with your IVF.

marya - I was on Lupron, Follisim and Menopur. I'm praying that this next cycle is your time.

karen - Glad stimming is going well!! Grow, follies, grow!!!

katie - I remember thinking the same thing last time. You just put these embies back in me and now you want me to pee??? You're going to be PUPO tomorrow, girl. I'll be thinking about ya! My instructions say to take the supp. the morning of the ET, but I just confirmed with a nurse today that you should start the day after the ET. You may want to ask.

malya - I'm so glad everything was well with the u/s, and you got to see the sac!

johannanita - Holy cow, that's scary. Sounds like it's something that possibly runs in the family though?? Hopefully you won't have any more episodes before Friday, so you can enjoy your u/s.

kiwi - WHEW-HEW on a darker line!!!

claud - Air?? That's weird. And 30 follies?? Mercy!! I'm hoping your next cycle goes so much better.

miyaya - You're PUPO!!! I know it's hard when you don't feel like you have the best "stuff" to work with, but you know that successful pregnancy have come from less. PMA!!!!

shelby - THANK YOU for the 25 gauge suggestion. I am SOOOOOOOO calling my pharmacy tomorrow and insisting they send me the different needles. Anything that I can do to make the PIO shots easier sounds like a great plan to me. Thanks!!

AFM - I did just find a babysitter for Friday morning, so that is a HUGE weight off my shoulder. My friend did remind me that she has a particularly beautiful name, and since she's helping me out with babysitting, that we should consider her name for the new baby. Pretty funny. I'm still just so excited to trigger tonight and glad we're on schedule for ER on Friday morning.

Sticky baby dust!!!

[shelbyrn0214]

Alrighty, woke up early this morning to POAS with the expensive HPT and the line appeared IMMEDIATELY! It was practically as dark as the control line within 3 minutes!!! Woohoo! This is such great news! And today is our 5 year anniversary! AWESOME!! We are going to hang around the house today and celebrate tomorrow evening after the b/w results. I am so psyched!

Katie, Kiwi, and J&C - wishing all 3 of you the best of luck today!

J&C - You're welcome!

Kiwi - I'm waiting on your BFP to repost the list because at the rate we are going, if I did it right now, by the time you get your results today, we will have already filled up another 10 pages!!

You ladies are incredible!!!!

[CT_Michele]

Oh girls, I am driving myself nutty over here. I have been doing 3 strips a day and still nothing. I think what we (dh and I) are seeing is evaporation lines. Right around the 5 minutes mark we will see what looks like outlines of where a positive result would be, but no color to them. And as I read online, those are evaporation lines. I read reviews about my strips and people said they did not get evaporation lines, but I really think that is what they are.

I am not losing hope yet, but my pma is shrinking fast. Ella implanted late, and with her I did not get a faint faint positive until what would be tomorrow around noon and that was with an AM transfer, so realistically, I may not see one until saturday morning, but still, you start to lose hope fast around these days. I am now 9dp3dt, and most people see it by now.

I hvae enough strips left to pee 2-3 times a day. I also have one FRER test left from last cycle and I will use that tomorrow or saturday morning. If I can hold out, I will save that for saturday morning since that would have been my beta if the clinic wasn't closed. But dh wants me to do it now, b/c he is questioning if the strips even work. I know they work, it is just either early, or a bfn. Keep praying for me.

[washingtonda]

CT - I have everything crossed for your POSITIVE. Remember focus and you are PUPO!!!! Esperanza had to always remind me of that.

[shelbyrn0214]

Washingtonda - I would love to add you to our list. What stage of the IVF process are you in?

[Johannanita]

Kiwi – I’m really trying not to be one of those women who call the clinic every 5 mins. It’s hard, but I’m trying.

sancap14 – Yours will come! I will be a nervous wreck until then too. I'm sure it won't stop after the 1st trimester though. I stopped reading stuff online though. It’s too scary. I read somewhere that there is a 33% chance to miscarry before 6 weeks. Then I read somewhere else that women who have no m/s are more likely to miscarry. wth!

claud662 – My goodness. What an ordeal you’ve been through. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I hope things go better next round. At least you know you make lots of follies.

malya324 – I am so relieved for you!! I’m glad it was nothing.

Miyaya – You’re PUPO and you’re little embies are back where they belong.

shelbyrn0214 – I watched an instructional video on youtube and the woman was using a 25 to inject also. I always only had the 22 to inject and I draw with an 18. I started icing the area and then read that you shouldn’t. I just stopped icing all together. I do the injections myself and I’m pretty much over it by now. We have a mirrored column in the living room and this is where I do my injections each night. I had to learn to do them myself because DH was working until midnite and I wasn’t waiting until he got home. I’d be fast asleep by then!

michaelajt73 – Welcome and good job with not POASing!

J&C – Hope trigger went well! Glad you found a sitter for Fri!!! I don’t think it runs in the family..Just think every woman has a different pg. idk, we’ll see.

Rali – GL with Beta tomorrow.

shelbyrn0214 – YAY!!!!!! Have fun hanging out with DH, you’re PREGGERS!!!!! Can't wait to hear your numbers tomorrow.

CT_Michele – I’m still praying for you.

Bei – GL tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear!

AFM, just hanging out. I'm working from home today so that's nice. Has anyone seen this new show I think it's on TLC. "I didn't know I was Pregnant". DH actually told me about it. The stories on there are incredible! These are stories that if someone told you it, you wouldn't believe it! This woman on there thought she was just really constipated and delivered the baby in the toilet. She heard a pop and she thought she had just gone. Then she tried to get up and was stuck to the toilet. The baby was in the toilet still attached to the umbilical cord! Amazing I tell you. Then this other woman didn't know she was pg 2x! WTH!!!

Hi ladies-

I haven't been on the board for the last week or so but I just read the updates, congradulations shelbyrn0214, I'm so happy for you. PRAISE GOD!!!!! Ladies continue to stay positive and congradulations for all the sucess stories that I missed over the past few weeks. I'm praying to be on the BFP list. I have my transfer next thursday. WOW I have so many things running through my head right now. That time sure went fast. When the nurse calls me with the news on the 22nd, this will be the first time my office sees me get the Holy Ghost hahahahahahh I'm keeping hold to my PMA

I will continue to keep everyone in my prayers. I'll keep you posted soon.

Tonya

[sancap14]

Johannanita- what's m/s? I was just talking to my friend last night (she just had a baby) and we were talking about all the things you can't eat while preggers...this time I'm not even going to chance it...I used to be all nonchelant about it like "Oh a little bacteria can't hurt...it'll make the baby stronger!" Not this time!

shelbyrn0214- You lucky duck you! Happy Anniversary too that's awesome! Unforgetable for you I'm sure! What a wonderful ann. gift!

katie99 can't wait to hear your update today! Yay, you are PUPO! Your DH sounds so awesome!

J&C How did trigger go? Exciting huh? I was very excited to do mine too! I'm so happy about your follies! OMG about the spec. thingy...ouch! LOL about your friend...don't ya love that! DH and I were talking about names last night, I was like lets not get ahead of ourselves...we have a long ways to go yet!

rali- Wicked good PMA for miyaya! Good goin! How are you doing during your 2ww are you POASing?! I'm going to try not to until the day before beta (ET tomorrow)! but I'm sure it's gotta be hard!

Michele- how ya doin babe? Good that you are not losing hope! Hang in there...BFP is coming for you, it's just too early to see it now. Sticky dust to you hon!

claud662- forgot to tell you, my trigger came premixed! See if you can get something like that next time...yours sounded quite confusing, same thing prob would have happened to me.
