Franca – Way to go on starting stims!

Supergenius – I am so over winter as well. It was actually pretty nice this weekend…thank goodness!

Rlk1 – still no AF…can you

Babyluv – so very very excited for you!!! YEAH!

Tammy – keep up the PMA, you can do it! You can do it!

Turtle – I am so jealous! Sounds like you have an awesome acupuncture place. I love my acupunctist too! She is super wonderful. She calls and checks up on me every so often, which is super sweet. I wish it was pay as you can though! Mine is $75 a session, so I don’t go as often as I would like, but I too plan on going whenever this cycle starts for me…yup AF is still missing!

Lauren and Turtle – I absolutely love Boston!! It’s my favorite city in the whole world and I would love to move there. I go there for work about once or twice a year and just scheduled my trip there for October 2010 for work. DH loves it too, so I’m trying to convince him to come with me!!! We are staying at the Liberty Hotel, which is just an awesome hotel too.

Marci – you do such a wonderful job with the list! BTW, I didn’t get your letter with AF! Please resend! YEAH, for starting..I know it will be just fine…

Heeks – YEAH! What a wonderful 2nd beta!!!! AWESOME!!!

Angela – can’t wait to hear about all the wonderful follies you’ll be growing soon! KEEP UP THE PMA!

Teresa – You are doing great! Oh I’m so sorry to hear about the welts, but it will all be worth it when you get you BFP! I am catching up, and your post was from Friday, so I am certain with that E2 level you will be triggering soon!

Latrell – totally normal. You are pumping just a ton of hormones into your body. Just try and take extra time for yourself and move at a slower pace 

Helene- What great news! Congrats! I love all of the BFP’s!!!!

Claudia – How wonderful!!! YEAH – it is official!

AFM- not sure what is going on, but AF still hasn’t shown her ugly face!

Happy Monday everyone! Sorry to be MIA all weekend but it has been a very eventful one. So here is my attempt to catch up with everyone.

Marci How are your stims going? Sorry the Menopur stung when you gave it. That's similar to Repronex right? If it is then I'm not surprised it hurts because the Repronex is awful! Sounds like you had an awsome weekend with your family. What kind of shopping did you do? Get anything cute?

Latrell22 I was pretty crabby on stims too! My poor DH has been snapped at for everything from having a couple of beers on the weekend to not going to bed with me when I want to fall asleep at 8:30. But hey what can you do besides try to be nice as best you can. :roll: I'm sending good vibes that everything will go fine at your apt tomorrow.

Libby Is your beta tomorrow? Sending you all the big beta vibes I can. Let us know what it said!

Angela How are you feeling on your stims?

Helene So glad that line got darker for you and there is no doubt you are BFP! Did you let the kids see the positive stick yet?

Claudia How was DC? Have you had any prego symptoms kick in yet? Congrats on your beta and get ready for a huge number on your second one!

babyluv Have you had your beta yet?

Drboots How are you feeling on your stims? When's your next SnS? Any word on follie count yet?

Franca Good luck today and give us a post today if you can. Cant wait to hear you things went!

Emmax Welcome and its natural to be a little afraid of the whole IVF process. I mean who likes to be poked with a bunch of needles and then be put under! We are here for you if you need reassurance or have questions.

Kuska Welcome to you also. I am doing a fresh cycle (my first) but I have heard that lots of ladies get prego with FET because its less stressful on the body then a fresh cycle. Depending on if I develope OHSS (I have produced a lot of follies and my RE is worried) I might just freeze all my embies and do a FET next month.

Lisa Doing the AF jig for you. Where is that evil woman? I hope she arrives very soon for you.

FrannyYou are all done with your BCP now right? What are you doing next?

KimHow are you feeling? Any thoughts of POAS? Can't wait to hear from you!

AFM - Whew where do I start? Well I went in for my 6th and 7th SnS on Saturday and Sunday. My poor vein in my right arm (they say my left vein is too small to draw from) bruised really badly on Sat. and they had to take blood out of my hand yesterday. My E2 was 3769 yesterday so they had me trigger lastnight at 10:00! My DH was so nervous because this was the first shot he had to do and also the most important one! :shock: So my ER will be tomorrow at 915. The RE said that my right ovary (which has the 20+ follies) is hiding behind my uterus and might be hard to reach. Go figure I produce so much and may not be able to use them. But he also said that because my numbers are looking pretty good I might still be able to do the transfer on Friday and not have to wait till next month! :D He said not to get too excited it will all depend on if I start to show signs of OHSS. So I am eating all the salt, electrolytes, and water I can today to help prevent it.

On Saturday my baby brother got married. I missed the whole ceremony because I had to keep his 2 year-old son from running around and screaming during the ceremony. He had not had a nap that day and really did not want to sit still so I had to take him away from everyone. They video taped the ceremony so I'll have to watch that later. I did hear that my brother put the ring on the wrong finger though! LOL So it was an eventful weekend and I am so looking forward to tomorrow. I'll post when I get home and have a report on how many eggs they were able to get. ~TERESA

Hi all!

DrBoots: Did you ever find out what the leakage was? I'm sure that was disconcerting! Please let us know how you're doing!!

Neffi: What did your RE say about the Lupron? That's so weird, because I was never told that Lupron should be refrigerated either? STRANGE!!! How are things going with you? How's little Jack?

Helene and Babyluv: Is today your official Beta day? If so, fill us in on those BIG, FAT NUMBERS!!! Congrats!

Claudia: So...I'm thinking you should consider "Han Solo (insert your last name here)" would be a FABULOUS name for your baby. And....if you're having twins...Han and Solo (insert you last name here) is also fabulous! Tee-hee!! :lol: How are you feeling, Baby Mama?!?

Franny and Misocial: Please come back from your vacations soon. I miss you!!! I mean, don't you know your lives should be all about ME?!? :wink:

Franca: Glad to hear that things are moving forward and that your DH's sperm is not "stuck" anymore!! :lol:
Emmax and Kushka: Welcome! So glad you joined us!

Latrell: Good luck tomorrow at your SnS!! Keep us posted! It's hard not to worry, isn't it? But...I have faith that you're responding beautifully!

Arabsrcool, Katie, Gi, and Lou: Thanks for crashing our thread! :D It's so great to hear from you ladies! How are all you lovely, PREGGO ladies doing? Do tell, do tell!

Tiger: WHAT? No AF? I mean, I know I'm not the best dancer, but I thought for sure you'd have AF! Okay, I'm calling in the big guns, now I'll be dancing AND singing for you! :wink:

hopeforbabies: Sooooo glad to hear that your numbers look good and that you're a "go" for tomorrow! Fill us in when you get home. I'll be thinking of you!! GOOD LUCK!!!!

AFM: The WAITING is torturous. I'm 4dp6dt and I go from feeling really hopeful to feeling positive that it didn't work. AHHHHHH!!

Tiger - hope AF shoes up soon... it's so frustrating when we wait for that to start our cycle. sorry girl.

Hopeforbabies - No I didn't show the kids yet but I intend to do it tonight or tomorrow morning cause the line is dark enough for them to see it now :)

OMG girl I am so sorry about the bloodwork that is so hard. So sorry you are hurting. Glad dh got the guts to do your trigger last night what a nervous thing to do... So ER tomorrow how exiting. So 20+ follies wow you are in for it girl... woo woo!!! So transfer might still happend on Friday how so exiting... way to go girl this cycle was a hard one for ya!!!

rlk - you know the rollocoster is there and I felt the same way you did... have faith and stay positive... positive energy girl and you get it all on your side. Hang it there it's still too early for testing anyways.

emmax - wow I need help too I don't understand at all what your RE is saying? I am not too experience so?? Sorry can't help ya!!

AFM - This is a very busy week. BETA today (did that waiting for results too me 1 1/2 to finally find a place that would do it), House might sell tomorrow?, Wednesday apt, and Friday will have to go get the stuff in the house if it sells (it's 4 hrs away and I got to rent a truck), still looking for a place to stay or buy or rent whatever, dh wants to buy the house we live in, he is nuts it would be approx. $775,000 dollars. I think he thinks money grows on trees... wow?? Anyways if our house sells he intends to ask the mortgage broker to see if we could buy it with the business as an investment and rent it from it? Well the business is ME... so like I don't make that much money !!! I guess we shall see what they say. So went house hunting all weekend around birthday parties and DS Association pool party where we had a ball.

I called my clinic on Friday to see if I could get photographs of the father's embryos or their babies or something to see what I might have but they refused, they didn't even want to tell me if they achieve pg or not... So my little ones will be a nice surprise when they come out and my dh is trying to convince me that we will need the house we live in with all the new babies coming... and of course he is right so oh well... I think he is really trying NOT to move again. Well who likes moving anyways.

So waiting for my BETA I will let you know what the results are as soon as I get them :)

Have a nice day and ladies with BETAs today good luck.

Teresa - I bet you won't be cancelled. As long as you are under 4000 by trigger, they will probably let you go. My friend was at 3300 I think and got preg with one little girl, no OHSS at all. Keep up the gatorade! And good luck tomorrow!!

Libby - Can't wait to hear your numbers tomorrow! Keep up the BFPs!

AFM - My beta isn't until Wed. UGH!! I almost called to see if they could push it up to tomorrow, but figure I will just wait it out. Today was the first day I haven't tested...I figured it's time to let go and just enjoy the orange seed growing in there :D My nausea is pretty much gone, perhaps it was a bug. Which leads me to this story...

DD spiked a fever last night and her asthma flared up. Still warm today, so I carried her into DS's classroom, put her down to get him settled, then she started crying. I picked her up and she threw up ALL OVER both of us. And not just any vomit. Oh no...green smoothie (1/2 fruit, 1/2 spinach/collard greens...I know, sounds gross but actually good and very healthy. We have it almost every day). I had to wipe her down just keep her from dripping in the hall. Got her home, cleaned us both up (plus a load in the wash), and she is now totally fine...back to her high energy 2 year old self. Crazy.

Teresa,

So excited for you! Sounds like you have a great group of follies and just keep thinking positively that they are going to be able to get to all of those wonderful eggs! I am going to be waiting on pins and needles to hear about tomorrow...so do tell as soon as possible!!!

Extra water and salty chips tonight!

Hey every one hope everyone doing well

3 Day Transfer:

1dpt... Embryo is growing and developing
2dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
3dpt... Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
4dpt... Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5dpt... Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6dpt... Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7dpt... Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells &
fetal cells
8dpt... Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
9dpt... More HCG is produced as fetus develops
10dpt... More HCG is produced as fetus develops
11dpt... HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

5 Day Transfer (if your transfer is done on the 6th day please adjust according to the timeline based upon how the embryo was doing by 1-2 days {e.g. blastocyst was hatching from the shell}):

-1dpt... Embryo is growing and developing
0dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
1dpt... Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
2dpt... Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
3dpt... Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
4dpt... Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
5dpt... Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells &
fetal cells
6dpt... Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
7dpt... More HCG is produced as fetus develops
8dpt... More HCG is produced as fetus develops
9dpt... HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on hptbei
