I started spotting a little bit this afternoon, do you think it has anything to do with changing progesterone, starting the estrogen or just AF tryign to visit early :cry:
I was SO optomistic until yesterday :cry:

Supergenius – wow two sacs! That is awesome!!

Helene –ok, don’t keep us in suspense, how many babies did they see on the u/s?

DrBoots – if you are injecting Progesterone IM, make sure you warm the med before injecting, some women put it in the bra …lol because it has an oil base and will cause large bumps if it’s not absorbed well. Also, apply a warm cloth and rub the area for awhile to help w/ absorption. They also say you can draw the med up w/ a large need as it is very thick and then change the needle to a smaller needle to inject it so it will not bruise as much but it will take a little longer to inject. Using ice on the skin before you inject it also helps numb the area before you inject it. I also hear standing or lying flat on your stomach to make sure there is no weight on the side of the injection, really helps relax the muscle also. We can talk more about tips and pointer later! Oh, in regards to the HPT, I waited until I was at least 8 days post transfer when I got my BFP (w/ a HPT) because my RE said the trigger shot will stay in the system for 7 days. So even 9 days might even be better and remember to get the most sensitive test that you can buy when you do test.

Stephanie – you are doing just fine! There is a lot of literature out there that says every pregnancy can present so differently, so no worries ok?

Franny – I just love a happy ending! I am so very happy! Your embryo is one strong embryo! Ok, so the transfer is tomorrow! You know we will all be right there w/ you! Good luck!

Hopeforbabies – Congrats, you are pregnant … a faint line is a positive!!

Lauren – I am glad AF came and the cyst shrank … please let us know your estradiol level.

Claudia & Tammy – thanks for the well wishes today!

Emmax – yes, the feeling as though your menstrual cycle is going to start is normal and usually a good sign!

Bei – Have some sex, it might help. At least you will have some enjoyment while waiting. No seriously, it might help or they might have to give you meds to get you started!

Kajol20 – I hope your appointment goes well and you can start Follistim tonight. The Follistim will cause more bloating because the ovaries are growing and the site of injection might be a little irritated also. Use ice before injecting to numb the skin. But, injecting the stims aren’t too bad. Remember, not to lift anything over 5lbs (some docs say 10lbs) once you start it because it is making your ovaries very, very heavy and you don’t want them to twist, etc.

Chris - Please tell us how it went for you today regarding your transfer!

AFM- I am officially PUPO! I had my 1 embryo 5 day (blastocyst) transfer this morning! The transfer went well and now I am going to sit back and relax. There are possibly 6 others that could go to the freezer tomorrow.
