Hey Desire....I don't know how you've managed to not test.... I was going nuts...

I do wish you alll the best for your beta tomorrow - please post your bfp as soon as you get it! LOL My beta is for Friday, so I don't get the second one until Monday.

Here's my test this morning:

Santee- congrats on the ET! Wishing you all the best!

Sonya: Looks to me to be a BFP! I bet Friday can not come soon enough!

So, I got my fertilization report this morning. Out of the 11 eggs, 9 survived. There are 5 that have fertilized and 4 that they are waiting for. She said those four have not fertilized, but that they still can. I am doing my transfer on Thursday and again, I'm so nervous. I will do acupuncture before and after ET. I also won't know the grade of my embryos until that day (that's what I really want to know). Hopefully the quality will be better this time. If not, I am going to have a serious meltdown!!

Good luck to the rest of you!!!

Sruppe-hang in there! The 2ww must be torture, but keep up the positive thoughts and stay busy!

Shermy-5 fertilized eggs is good news! Can't wait to hear the quality of the embryos. Good luck on Thursday, I'll be thinking of you. I am hoping for every teacher's dream come true-a snow day tomorrow (and with the weather forecast I might be in luck!) Let us know how the ET goes.

I am still on the Lupron stage til Saturday...last night I was incredibly tired and slept for an hour and a half after dinner. Is this normal?

I didnt have any signs.. and just a few now.... achy boobs, itchy, too... some mild 'motion sickness' feelings that come and go... and a wee bit emotional. All I can say is to distract yourself. Be patient as you can. My outlet is testing. Once I test each day (or twice!) I am fine.

Ok, so I couldn't wait and I did a HPT and it came back N.. So worried... I had my transfer on Jan 29th and I had a day five transfer. It should have came up by now. So does this mean Im not pupo... I go in tom for my first Beta test & it might be BFN... I think, I can't even think what am I talkign about.. Ok, I have to a big breath. You probably think im going crazy but this is exactly how I feel. Counting my hours... 18 more hours... I sound like a psychopath!!! :cry:

Thanks Sonya, I needed that. I thought I would be okay and for some reason I was the first two days now it's all I can think about and I have a full schedule right now with full time work and I got to school full time in the evening and even that isn't enough to keep me distracted! Pretty sad huh......3dp3dt and counting

Hey Desire - I know of lots of women who didn't get a bfp until they got a positive beta. You really can't know until you get your blood test. Keep your spirits up and keep yourself busy! I know can get early tests because I've gotten them before. I'm a 'proven' tester! Take it easy and you'll know tomorrow. I called my clinic and asked what the next step was if it was a BFN... having that information made me focus on the future if it didn't work this time... and was comforting to know that we were not at the end of our journey... that we simply didn't get to our destination yet!

K.. well hon.... your little ones are just now at the blastocyst stage and are not even implanted yet... that can happen from 5 to about 7 days past your transfer, and then another couple of days for it to metabolize into your bloodstream.. (the HCG). My blasts were almost at the hatching stage and I suspect the implanted within 24 hours of the ET.... Chin up, buttercup!
