I can't for you to POAS or get your BETA you are very patient... keep it up but I want to know as soon as you do it... go for it girl do it just bugging you don't do it if it's going to make you sad...

AFM - I POAS again this morning and although it is a little winny bit darker... it still takes 10 mins to show so I really don't think I am pg with quads which is great... 3 max please... 2 good and 1 ya!!

the picture is here if any of you want to see it : http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3B01bS5aasU/S ... 9dp3dt.jpg

I told my dh yesterday that I though I saw a line yesterday and so he demanded to see the stick and he said he can see it too. It was way darker at night then in the morning... so he said "Congratulations"... that was nice of him

I can't wait to see the numbers also. When do we go for us to see how many made it??

franca - your use of the word "stuck" made me giggle...i think i'm really 13 years old. libby

[Supergenius]

sara - yes we are "special" but i'm okay with that if you are.
you are getting snow? where are you? it's been in the mid-60s and sunny this week & i'm totally done with winter...so that works out for me. seriously, snow?
nice ticker, btw.

chris - yay for starting meds on Monday! then the fun begins...

helene - you are very funny, hahaha. but i could be puking my brains out and i still wouldn't believe i'm PG unless i saw the beta result. i'm just like that.
and i definitely see your line! fingers and toes crossed it keeps getting darker! i think the first ultrasound is somewhere between 6-7 weeks, although that's in the US. you might be at 8 weeks - i seem to remember another Canadian lady had to wait until 8 weeks.

Yap I believe it girl... I cheer for you for your BFP at BETA time!!!

Well my clinic is in the US so hopefully I can go early. I remember going last time at like 5 weeks and boy there was nothing to see so way too early I think. I can't wait to see. I think this pg is a sticker??

Happy Friday, everyone!

Angelaezra and Misocial: Good luck at your SnS appts!! Today WILL be your first day of stims!!! Keep us posted!

Mcfarland: Good luck with your FET in May! How many will you transfer?

Helene: It looks like congrats are in order! Your HPTs definitely show a double line. YAY!

Heeks: Are you looking forward to the "official" call today when they say, "YOU'RE PREGNANT!!"? I have no doubt that you'll get a nice, big, healthy Beta number! Keep us posted! As far as the sensitive forehead pregnancy symptom, I've never heard of that one. It's funny how differently people react to pregnancy. When I was pregnant with my DS I also had a symptom that other people hadn't heard of. For a week (REALLY early in the pregnancy--maybe 5 or 6 weeks), every time I stood up from a sitting position I would sneeze uncontrollably. It was soooooo weird!!

Tammy: So April 5th is your official FET date? When do you start Estrogen? Good luck with everything--I'm rooting for your little frosties!

Supergenius: Thanks for the thaw dance! You're obviously a fabulous dancer, since it worked like a charm! So how are your faring during the dreaded 2WW? Are you going to POAS? The 23rd will be here before you know it!!

Neffi: How's the Lupron treating you? I didn't have to take Lupron for my FET and was grateful--I get killer headaches from that stuff! Are you feeling okay? Good luck with your FET in April--I'll be watching you!

Tiger: Okay, by your orders I'm thinking IMPLANT!!! Has AF showed up yet? I'll do the AF dance for you (we like to dance on this thread!)!!

Sara: Great Beta!! Twins may be in the cards, huh? Soooo exciting!! Do you have another Beta, or are you just waiting for your u/s? I'm sooooo thrilled for you!! YAYYY!!! Oh, and good job with the ticker!

Bei: Doing the AF dance for you too. Geesh my feet are going to hurt from dancing so much for you and Tiger!

Franny: Thanks for rooting for little Luke. He needs all the support he can get! Have fun this weekend!! A little vaca sounds fabulous!! Have some drinks for me!! Also, tomorrow's your last BCP, right? YAYYYYY!!!

Babyluv: Nausea sounds like a good sign! Okay, I'm doing an AF dance for Bei and Tiger, and a stay-away AF dance for you! You won't see ANY red on Saturday with all my dancing! Let us know if you cave and do an HPT and an ovulation prediction test!! Tee-hee!!

Claudia: Ugh. Those HPTs can be so frustrating. Tell that hubby of yours that Han and Solo need his support. I'm thinking of you and hope you get the good news that you deserve tomorrow!!

hopeforbabies: Wow, these past few days have been so crazy for you!! I'm really hoping that all goes well at your SnS today and that your ER will be on the 22nd!!

Latrell: How are the stims going? It must be exciting to be on your way---YAYY!!!

Lauren: Hope AF gets here WHEN you want her, so that your transfer will be on schedule!!

Franca: Glad to hear things are going well and that you'll start stims on Monday!! You're one step closer to your BFP!

DrBoots: YAY for your 8 follies!!! Let us know what they say about those beautiful eggies at tomorrow's appt!

to_have_fun: Ugh...the waiting. Monday will be here soon so you can start your meds!!

AFM: My PMA is not as high as yesterday (DAMN that Valium is powerful!!), but I'm still a little hopeful. Time will tell...

Hi to all I missed! Have a great weekend, everyone!

[claud662]

Now I'm OFFICIALLY confufused! I woke up at 5:00 and "snuck" downstairs to do a test and I waited the exact three minutes and went into the bathroom and saw nothing! DH called for me to see what I was doing which of course responded "getting water" and knowing I was lying came downstairs and I was in tears. I threw out the test and we went back up to bed. All morning I was googling natural fets thinking for next try and went back to sleep. Just woke up and got the test from the garbage and there was a PINK line on the test! Not the evap line I saw two days ago but an actual pink line!!! I really don't know what to think...I am prop going to take a digital test in a few hours but I don't want to get my hopes up too much and DH is going to think I'm CRAZY if I tell him so I don't want to say anything until I'm positive

[rlk1]

YAYYYYYYY, Claudia!!! I knew that Han and Solo would pull through for you!! Let us know if you do the DIgital test!! Wooooooo-hooooooo!!!

[babyluv]

Claudia - keep up the PMA! You seem to be getting an awful lot of lines...some women just take longer. My one friend took at test 12dpo and got nothing...and she was preg with twins!

Kim - Thanks for the dance! Dancing for you my friend!

Libby - I'm with you on the nausea girl. Good sign!

Helene - looks good, good, good! Beta soon!

I think a lot of people are starting stims today! YAY!! Shoot yourselves up!

As since inquiring minds want to know...

I DID POAS yesterday (when I unwrapped test #1 I saw it was the actual preg test)...and a B...F...P!!!! HOLY COW!!! It showed up within 1 min and is a definite, definite line! Even though it was 13dp trigger, and that stuff is always out of me by day 11, I was still a little hesitant. Took another this morning and again, there it was within 1 min. I couldn't find another Clearblue Easy +/- test at target, so I did First Response. Wish I could compare lines, but both are solid. So now I am praying it sticks!!

I woke up yesterday morning at 1:22 with horrible AF cramps. Had to cuddle up to DH to be my heating pad When I got up later that morning, I decided just to see and there it was. I still had stomach issues, and when the afternoon hit I felt pretty darn sick. I know it's early for symptoms, so who knows if it's a stomach bug on top of everything, but probably not. Feeling better today, though I am still a bit on the nauseous side. My mom had terrible morning sickness with my sister, so...we'll see.

Anyway, please keep the PMA and prayers coming! It's so early, but my friend (who has a little girl via IVF) encouraged me to enjoy it and not sabotage myself. So, that's what I'm going to do!

[TammyS]

Claudia...I have to tell to you that I think you are poas a little too early. Most people dont see the line till you are 10dp3dt or 8dp5dt (13 days total) after ovulation at the earliest. The tests are all different in the amounts of hcg that they can pick up, too. Some digitals are not even strong enough to pick up the hcg either. There is a list somewhere with the different sticks and the amounts of hcg you need to have to make them work...try googliing it...I dont have it handy. You want one with the lowest...like 25 mcgs or ius or whatever it is. Dont go buy the ones that say..."first response" or "earliest test out there" or any of that either.... cause I do remember that the ones that claimed that they were the strongest...werent. So try not to worry cause you are only at 12 days past today, according to your siggy, is that right? Seeing the pink line a little bit later...is a great sign...so keep the PMA!

Rlk...Looks like we both need some PMA right now. I know the odds are against me and it is making me a little nervous and sad... knowing that if this doesnt work...that that is it for us. You didnt have to take lupron for the FET? I'm not either. What was your protocol like? I started my estrogen on Tuesday the first day of AF. I go in for my ultrasound next Friday.

Dr Boots...8 follies is AWESOME!

Franca...LOL. Okay, do tell. You have me really curious now! lol

Franny...Have fun! I think we are gonna try to take a mini vacation soon...we need one so bad right now. I think I am going to do Acupuncture on April 2nd, 5th (day of transfer), and on April 8th. It's about what I did last time and it worked. Do you think I should try to do it on Sat (if they're open) instead of Frid the 2nd? When are you doing it?

Supergenius...I'm loving this spring like weather. 60's here, too...I wore capris, short sleeves, and sandals yesterday. How are you feeling?

Helene...I see 2 lines! Looks like Congrats are in order! Yay!

Marci and Anglea...Let us know how it goes today! Good Luck with everything!

Heeks...I am sooo excited for you today! Cant wait to hear your numbers.

Babyluv...WOOHOOO!!!!! AWESOME!!! I had something else all written out snd when I went to post ...saw your news and had to erase my question of are you gonna poas...lol. AWESOME!!! CONGRATS! When I got pregnant with Zach...My husband I both had the flu something horrible the same day we poas. Funny thing is I ended up having no morning sickness. lol Hopefully, it will be the same for you. There is a 24 hr bug going around.

Quick question...is one of the side effects of estrogen...bloat/weight gain? I forget. Or am I just eating too much this week, especially with AF, which is over now. Gotta love these new 3 day periods...since having Zach. lol (sorry Marci).

I know I've missed alot of you and I'm really sorry...but I have got soo much going on this week...and I'm off and running again now. Have a great day all!
