Ladies...I better get a BFP eventually...I just gave up 2 tix to U2 because the concert falls on exactly 1 week from transer date, Oct. 9th. I did the right thing right? They were really good seats :evil: DH is worried it would be too early for that kind of excitement and unfortunately I think he's right:( What do you guys think? I can't contain myself at concerts...esp U2!

Karling - no worries. and I will gladly still send you some salsa. Just PM me with the pertinent info :wink: ! Just let me know if you are mild or spicy kind of gal :wink: .So happy for you!

Sancap - I think you did the right thing about the concert. You can always fly somewhere else later and see them, but this is a more rare (and important) event.

Michele - NO NMA ALLOWED!!! Only PMA!!! Just wait til Saturday, you'll get your double lines! Use the expensive one then. That's what I did....used up the cheapies then went all out for the final shabang!

Kiwi - Again, CAONGRATS!!!!

I want to wish Bei, Rali, & me very high betas tomorrow. We can do it girls!!!!!

Katie – YAY!!!! I’m SO EXCITED for you!!! You’re PUPO Baby!! YAY Now rest up and enjoy the wonderful world of the 2ww! :D

Kiwi – YYYYYYYAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!! That is a great number!!! I’m so happy for you Mommie!!!!

sancap14 – I think if it’s going to happen it’s going to happen. We can certainly do things to try and prevent such things, but for the most part it’s out of our hands. You need to watch that show. These women that don’t know they’re pregnant drank and smoked through their whole pregnancies. That is so sad about your friends friend. I’ve been staying away from the lunch meat all together. But before I knew any of this I tried freakin pate for the first time. (go figure! I didn't even like it!) I also had brie that night. God can’t surely punish me if I didn’t know, right?! About the m/s, you’re right some women don’t have it at all. My aunt said she didn’t get it til 8 weeks. I’ve been nauseous maybe 2x for a little while and then it goes away.

Michele – Still praying Babes. This baby is just pulling an Ella is all.

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for many of us. It’s going to be REAL busy on these boards tomorrow. Get your note pads ready to take notes for personals. :D I’ll be praying for us all!

Well girls...here come the weepies! I could barely get through class tonight without tearing up and thinking about how many people are rooting for us and hoping for good news that may not hear it. Even sadder is that our savings is gone, we are in debt and possibly for nothing. I know, I KNOW, it is still possibly, Ella is living proof, but at some point, I just can't help but feeling this way.

I will keep you guys posted as much as I can. If I see any sort of line, you girls will be the first to know! But if I am not on too much this weekend, just keep praying hard and know that I am reading but having a really tough time with it all. This is going to be a very tough weekend for me. But I really do appreciate all of the continued support, it means so much to me.

Good luck to everyone that has big things happening tomorrow...I will be watching you all.

Kiwi CONGRATULATIONS!! It's truly the best, most surreal feeling u will ever have! Hold onto it..things start changing quickly. When ur having a down day, remember this feeling. :wink:

Katie99 Ur PUPO baby!!! RELAX and take it easy for a few days!! Get pampered!

Good Luck Shelby & Bei tomoro on beta!!

CTMichelle Dont you give up just yet..you know that sometimes it takes longer, you experienced it for yourself! I am thinking of you and praying for you to get your much desired double blue.

I went in early for blood work today because I am having an allergic reaction to the POI shots. Lots of rash-like red patches at injection site, hips/butt area completely swollen (I really needed that lol), brusing, bump from progesterone not absorbing, and ITCHY like crazy! Dr said I could have developed an allergy from continued use...huh...I was on shots until i was like 13 weeks pregnant with my son with no issues. After they took blood, hrs later I noticed redness where the adhesive was when they held cotton ball on with the gauze tape. Anyone have any of these reactions suddenly? Dr didnt seem overly concerned, he just said we would switch me from sesame oil (never knew!) to olive oil or a funny name for water I cant remember. Have to go pick up at pharmacy tomoro. They are making a special batch themselves and cant pick it up anywhere else locally.
So.....since I was there, and I told them I cheated and POAS-ed myself with a positve, they took blood and called me and I am indeed pregnant!! Beta was 70. My beta was 43 on 12dpt5dt last time, and this time 70 on 11dpt5dt. I transferred two high quality blasts. I first POASed on 6dpt and got a very faint line for all of those trying to hold back! My second beta is on Monday, Oct 5th...seems a little long to wait. Will keep POASing at home of course.
Sorry I can't join you ladies tomorrow but will be sending you positive positve positive vibes for BFP's!!!! Will check BB as soon as I get home from work. Can't log on at work :roll:

ctmichele (((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) i am thinking of you! i will be sending good vibes to you all weekend! this process is sooo emotional. i dont think ive cried as much as i have this year (since i found out i had stage 4 endo and needed ivf) then i have in years. hang in there. try to stay positive...i know its hard but i want you to know that no matter what happens over the weekend we are all here for you! you are not alone!! PMA PMA PMA!!!!!!

katie PUPO girl!!!!! i'm so glad you finally got to this point!! you are an amazing and strong woman!! what a summer you've had!! it must feel crazy to know that this is happening for you!!! all of my sticky dust is pouring your way! :D

johannanita my endo sister ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))) what a crazy week youve had!! i'm so glad everyone around you is telling you all of this is normal. i know i would be freaking out too! i'm sure it was wicked hard to sleep last night for you! good luck today with the U/S!! hopefully it will bring some peace to you knowing that everything is going perfect!! :)

bei and rali good luck today!!!! please keep us posted!! PMA PMA PMA!!! bring us those great beta #'s!!!!

sancap you WILL get a BFP!!!! i actually went and saw this great documentary last night called "it might get loud" it was about jimmy page, the edge, and jack white, and what happens when they all come together for a day in tenn. it give a ton of back history on all 2 guys and there is a ton of cool info on U2! i know its not great seats at a concert, but go check it out if its playing around you! :)

karling good luck today!! 15-20 sounds amazing to me!! woohoo! have a very relaxing day when you get home! PMA!!

teachermom YES!!! i am still waiting!!! wtf???? of all the years and months i was praying for AF NOT to show up she always came exactly on time, and now....now that we want her where the hell did she go?? :twisted: i think you should call you RE. i called mine on monday and they said to wait till wednesday...so i waited and nothing so i called back and had to go in for b/w and u/s yesterday to find out what the heck was happening! this is torture isnt it??? i am here for you!!!


if i missed anyone i am sorry! i am always thinking you all of you my IVF sisters! i am sooo glad i found this place!

AFM- well AF still hasnt come!! grrrrr!! i ended up going in for an u/s and bloodwork yesterday to see what the heck was going on (i am NEVER late!!) they wanted to do a pregnancy test (yeah right) and to see if i ovulated. well i got the call in the afternoon and they said i never ovulated this cycle..ummm maybe its cause they over suppressed me with lupron and had to cancel the cycle?? so i have to go on provera to bring on my period and then i can finally start BCP!! i have to take it for 5 days and then they said after i stop taking it AF will show up, but it might take up to 10 days for her to show up!!! thats 15 MORE DAYS!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
i was sooo upset yesterday and i cried and cried because i'm just so frustrated with my body and i feel like i keep taking steps backwards when all i want is to go forward so badly! :(

Good Morning - We had an interesting night last night. First off, the trigger went great on Wednesday night and ER is scheduled for this morning (Friday). Last night (Thursday), I started feeling horrible about 5 p.m. I ended up with a 101.6 fever (which later became 102.1), felt dizzy, light headed, and I couldn't stand for the lights to be on. I just wanted to sit in the dark. I was freaking out that something was really wrong, or I had developed OHSS. I paged RE after hours, and he said that I probably just have the flu or something. I'm of course thinking that we're going to have to run to the hospital or something, just expecting the worse. So I took some Tylenol, rested and ate what I could, because with our ER being today, I can't drink or eat anything past midnight.

So I laid down to sleep. Woke up about 11 p.m. total fine. No fever. It was like it never happened. DH is convinced it's just the meds swimming around in my body. I very rarely ever get sick, but I've also never had a fever/flu go away in just a couple of hours. It was sooooooooo strange. I'm just glad I'm feeling fine this morning. Our babysitter should be here shortly, and we're off to ER. I'm so glad this day is here. I'm hoping we get several good quality eggies and that this weird 6 hour fever didn't harm anything. I'll post as soon as I can.

shelby - I ordered the smaller needles from the pharmacy. They won't be here until Monday, but I can't wait to try them out. Thanks again!

Michele - I'm so sorry you're struggling. I know it's just hard sometimes. I'm praying that the HPT is positive VERY soon for you. I'm thinking about you. (((HUGS)))

katie - I am just so excited for you. Your embies sound perfect!!! Enjoy bedrest. I can't wait to join you soon! :D

kiwi - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

sancap - What kind of a fert. report is that? We'll call you tomorrow. That's a bunch of hooee. I would have given up the concert tickets too. I think you did the right thing.

michaela - Whew-hew to your faint line!!!!
