Hi everyone - I am officially PUPO!!! Typing from blackberry from me REs office to try to keep my mind off of my very full bladder:). Both snow babies survived the snow - one hatched and the other one was looking good too. They did not give us the grades but they said they were both looking really good. This time around my bladder was not full enough so they had to give me more water and let me wait 20 min. We did that twice til it was full enough (it is really full now!!). Otherwise transfer was easy. Will post personals later. PUPO!!

Wow, its terrible to say, but my DH being home for the next 2 + weeks is keeping me away from the forums!

I have to sneak in between his marathon i tunes sessions!

Julia -Hope that your FET went great today! rest up!

Sarah -I'm still pulling for you girl!

Syanna -I'm so sorry! ((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))

Brooklyngirl -I hope that both of those embies keep dividing strong!
and turn out grade A - Happy Birthday tomorrow!

BRMommy2b -ooh, I saw the flooding in LA on the news - its just awful! I dont think that driving would be an issue - just lifting or straining
How are you holding up during the 2ww?

Hazel -Ugh- you have a long wait! its interesting to me how even for an HPT they give you such a long wait - then expect you to hold on til an u/s? Where do they think you get this patience from? Are you going to accidentally (of course) mess up your dates and test early? I absolutely agree with whoever (sorry) said that its "Zorba the Great" Its true!
Wishing you much love and patience! - xoxo

Kelly -How are you holding up? Thankfully you dont have to wait too much longer!

Lorrie -I'm so happy that the Dr isnt concerned, but sorry for the bed rest - its hard! I cant wait til you get to hear the HB and can finally relax a bit - crossed for you!

Hello Ladies,
I have a question for you all. Is a hcg level of 210 good for 10dp5dt? I'm a little concerned that it is low. Just really scared of another loss. Love any advice.

Tc4474 The number you have are wonderful, I wonder if you have twins? Most of the doctors say your number should double every 48-72 hours so you are fine. I think we think 48 hours and forget about the chance we could double at 72 hours.
Brooklyngirl Remember it only take one to make it, 2 are still growing, hanging in there. Good luck on Wednesday.
Lorries I am glad everything is going good, I can't wait to hear about the heartbeat very soon.
hjw Is it weird being in the 2ww club? Just think soon it will be all over soon, you are PUPO. Congrats, mom.

AFM: I will be doing my beta tomorrow. No symptoms. Well except from the PIO, my stomach is big, I look four months, pregnant. I went to a party yesterday, I couldn't even suck it in.

Wow this board has gotten quiet!!!!

MotherhoodHopes: Congrats on your BFP! I hope I'm coming right behind you!

Skylar: Praying for you and your beta tomorrow. I hope your numbers are great! Don't you love the IVF pooch! People probably think we are 4 months pregnant!

Katie: Thanks for keeping up the updates!

Julia78: Congrats on being PUPO! Hopefully we're both on our way to our BFP! We really are IVF twins! Both of us with successful thaws, both of us with not enough in our bladder! Wow, glad that part is over!

Syanna: So sorry about your BFN; hope you are finding peace

Hazel: Little Miss Zorba will pull through! I've only got one in me too, so here's to hoping!

me2009: Your betas look good to me. Mine is Saturday, but the nurse said I could test on Thursday (Friday would be the actual day, but they're closed for Christmas unless you need a procedure...I guess I'll let them have one holiday!)

hjw: Welcome to the 2ww. Let me know how it goes and if you're experiencing any symptoms!

LorrieS: If you're like me, you've been hesitant to read up too much on what happens once you FINALLY get pregnant, so take this time to catch up on everything and get totally prepared for the coming months!

Brooklyn: I too had a low fertilization rate, with a high percentage of immature eggs. RE said if we have to do another round, we'll probably try an antagonist protocol. May be something to discuss with your RE when trying for your NEXT baby, since this one is going to work!

AFM, I'm 5dp5dt, although I think I may be a day ahead because the embryo was already hatching once we thawed it, and according to Katie's schedule that makes it more like a Day 6 transfer. No symptoms really until today, and I don't really know what I'm feeling. Pretty constant cramping since about 2pm today, not too bad, but not necessarily menstral feeling either. It would be pretty early for AF to be coming (I would expect her Thursday if she comes), so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it's pregnancy symptoms! Also some headaches today. But, trying not to get my hopes up too much. I know that nobody can really tell me if what I'm feeling is pregnancy sympoms since we're all so different, so I guess I won't even ask! Talk to you soon!

Franny: Dh and I went to see Blind Side but we saw long lines for Avatar! We're planning to see it next time! Is it really good!

Hazel: happy belated birthday and congrats to PUPO!

Syanna: Sorry for the BFN! Hope there's miracle on beta day!

LorrieS: sorry for the bleed!

Julia: congrats to PUPO!

katie: thank you for the updat!

good night and sweet dream!

Brooklyngirl - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope one of your birthday presents is a great progress report on your embies today. GL for your transfer tomorrow!

tc4474 - thank you for the positive vibes for Zorba the Great! How're you feeling? Have you told many people your wonderful news yet?

justwannabamom - how's the POAS queen today? If I'm correct, you are still only 12dpo today, so I think HCG levels may probably still be too early for an HPT. Is your beta tomorrow? GL!!!

LorrieS - I'm so happy that you saw the sac and that everything looked OK yesterday. Can't wait until you see that heartbeat later this week!

julia_78 - congratulations for being PUPO, there're going to be a few of us in the 2ww over Christmas so we can keep each other company! Sorry to read about your bladder troubles at ET - isn't the whole thing the most undignified way ever to get pregnant!!! It's not quite how I envisaged starting a family with my husband when I was growing up...

Skylar - GL for your beta today!

BRMommy2B - I don't really know whether I'm feeling any symptoms. I definitely have been feeling some cramping, but I had that a bit even before ET so it is at least partly down to the Crinone. I also had some really sharp pains in my abdomen on the evening of ET, and some lightheadedness during the afternoon and evening of ET on and off, but haven't felt either thing since. Who knows how much of it is all in my head anyway!! I'm trying not to read anything into it either way - I'm only 2dpt and I've got another 11 days to go until I test, so I'll go mad if I try to overanalyse every last twinge! How exciting that you test on Boxing Day - here's to a late Christmas present BFP and the first of the BFP's for the 'single embryo club'!

syanna - I'm so sorry. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) to you and DH.

sarah_ruth - I'm so hoping you got good news yesterday...

katie99 - naughty DH! Please slap his wrists and tell him that you need your quality computer time too so that you can stay in touch with all your lovely IVF cyber-friends!!! Good plan about "accidentally" forgetting what the date is and testing early, but DH is a pretty smart boy and he just won't let me get away with it, I know! I'm just going to have to suck it up and somehow wait until Saturday 2nd. Part of me doesn't mind toooo much, because at least waiting until day 18 will mean that if it's a BFP, there should be no doubt about whether we can see two lines or not. And it's also occurred to me that I got AF last time on day 14 when we got our BFN (without me having stopped the Crinone, either), so if I can make it as far as day 18 then that's probably a good sign in itself. Thank goodness there are going to be Christmas and New Year and various things with family and friends to distract me!

Hazel

Well guys I wasn't concerned about neg on HPT till today. Since my beta is tomorrow I am pretty sure I just saw our fate as to our ability to ever have children. I am still in shock that it is negative. I had dreams all night that I was pregnant! I guess I had convinced myself it would be positive.

hjw · Post by **hjw** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 2:46 pm

justwannabamom - please try and stay positive, sweetie, you're still only 7dp5dt (I think?) and according to the chart which Katie posted on here a few times, HCG won't be high enough to immediately be detectable by an HPT until 9dp5dt. Keep that PMA going until beta tomorrow! Fingers crossed!!!

katie99 · Post by **katie99** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 5:30 pm

Brooklyngirl - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Kelly -Please dont give up hope! You know that the ONLY definitive answer is through b/w - Those darn sticks are evil! I think its too early for them anyway - but dont let them bring you down - sending you much PMA

Lorrie -How are you feeling? I'm crossed for you for Thur u/s!

Hazel -My clinic makes you wait a long time also. I do see your point of waiting til the 18 days are up - when you test too early you just upset yourself - for nothing.Glad to hear that you have lots going on to keep yourself distracted though! Hurry up Jan!

Julia -Hope that you are resting up so those little guys can settle in!

BRMommy -How are you doing? Not too much longer now!

AFM - I'm off to finally be finished shopping

This is so last minute, I cant believe it! I'm just patiently waiting for my class & schedule on Tues. I have a feeling that I wont even need to order more meds!

hugs & prayers to us all! - xoxo

BRMommy2B · Post by **BRMommy2B** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 6:43 pm

Katie99: I'm doing OK. I had some lower stomach cramps (but not menstral-like) in the afternoon and a bout of dizziness and nausea last night for about 30 minutes, not sure what that was about.
