Hello Rae, just wanted to reply to ur question. I have been so crampy to the point I called my nurse and asked her if it was normal. She said yes. Somedays its better then the others. I feel if I do too much that I get crampy, but if Im resting, I feel ok. We are only a day apart in out ER and ET, so are you feeling any other symptoms then the crampiness?

[Rae37]

Hi Devans..!
That is neat that we are so close! I am getting really anxious for the beta on friday....
My cramps are the same way...some days are bad, some days not so bad.
So weird!!
My only other symptoms are my boobs are extremely sore. But they started to get sore even before my ER due to the estrogen levels (I think). THey seem more sore now and I beleieve it;s from teh progesterone. Are you taking Progesterone injections or the suppositories? I am taking the injections. They suck, but I guess its the price we pay and in the end if we get a baby we will forget all about it!

Take care!

[devans]

Hey Rachel. I am taking the progesterone suppositories, which can be kinda messy and gross and I constantly have to wear panty liners but Ill take that over the shots, only because Im so over the shots haha. I also heard the progesterone shots are painful. I woke up today and my boobs were so sore, I also was pretty sore before the ET as well but more then usual. This week is dragging by so slow. I still have a week to go and before the ET it seemed time was flying by, so of course now, its going to go so slow! How many embies did you transfer? We did 2 fresh embies. Good luck to you and stay in touch

[Rae37]

HI Devan...
yeah, the shots are painful. I was doing them without icing for the first few, but now I have to ice the area for a few minutes. I have some brusing too....ugh.

We transferred 3. I had 9 eggs retreived, 5 fertilized with ICSI and then by day 3 we only had the 3 left. I guess since I am almost 38 they feel as though 3 is ok. If we had some to freeze, then we would have only transferred 2. I guess they won't freeze just 1. PLus they are probably afraid it will arrest and not make it to freeze, so they feel as though putting it back in is better.


I am crossing my fingers for us!

[devans]

Hey Rachel! Yikes Im so glad I dont have to do the shots! I so feel for you. I iced my butt when I did the HCG shot because that was a huge needle haha. We had 20 follies, 13 eggs, 10 fertilized 2 transferred and 7 freeze. So we did get lucky and were able to freeze alot incase this cycle doesnt work for us. We also used ICSI becasue we used a frozen sample with my husband being deployed. I originally wanted to put in 3 but my dr told me if we put in 3, ill likely get triplets if the pregnancy takes haha so we opted for 2. Im hoping for twin boys but I will take whatever god blesses us with i was going to let you know I have a facebook if you would like to catch up that way, if you have one we can email. You can find me on facebook by my email its devankouts@yahoo.com. take care

devan- just wanted to say congratulations on being PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise!!!) I am currently on week two of my two week wait (my beta is friday 02/05). My DH is deployed as well (Afganistan) . I have been over on the Jan/Feb board since I started. All of the boards are wonderful and it really helps with DH being deployed.

Just wanted to send lots of baby dust to you!!

HI Everyone. Hope all is well. My beta is tomorrow AM. I am sooo nervous. I am tempted to do a HPT tomorrow AM before I leave the house. I probably will. I am really crampy today. It's starting to worry me. It feels like AF is coming with a vengence. Bad cramps and into the leg. Hope this is just the Progesterone. I was cramp-less yesterday.
Ugh. THis sux. My boobs are super sore today and they are swollen...not sure if this a pregnancy sign (seems early) or just from the dam progesterone. It messes with our heads!

Well, Devans and Desire I hope you guys are ok.

Baby dust to us all!!!

[DESIRE_270]

Six more days to go.... Im going scary and the time isnt going any faster...

RAe37 - Thank you for the email..

Devan - Good luck to you and I guess we are almost in the same boat... Can teh days go any faster!!!

Baby dust to all the rest of the ladies...

[devans]

DESIRE_270 we are only 1 day apart with our beta test dates! good luck to you

shermy19 thanks so much and good luck to you also

DandMe i am also on the progesterone suppositories but i am only taking it 3x a day and they are only 100 mg each. You said they are affective, but in what way? what is their purpose really?

sruppe i have never heard of the glue either, what is it and how is it used for IVF?

Molly05 yay for starting Lupron! good luck on your journey

[Rae37]

Hi Everyone! I got a BFP! My beta came back at 285! I am very excited. Still nervous, as this is a critical time, so I am being cautiously optomistic!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I am sending babydust to everyone!!

Rae

[devans]
