Thank you everyone for the congrats

Heidi- my appointment is on Monday.

Melo- that's not a bad number. I hope everything keeps going great

Katie, Macsi, and Krissy- Congrats on you BFP...that is so frikkin awesome!!! I can't wait to hear about everyone's beta numbers

Tammy- thanks for posting those websites...they're awesome and real helpful

AFM- I'm having a rough time all of a sudden. I'm feeling very negative. I'm so worried that something is going to happen. I keep on hearing about so many IVF's don't work the first time and how many women miscarry. I'm now afraid to be happy about my BFP b/c I don't want to get excited and then be devastated. Has anyone else felt this way? How have you dealt w/these feelings

Well, loads of baby dust to everyone

MARCI---Congrats on your BFP!!! That is great news.
Mrs IVF your feelings are very normal. We IVFers find out everything so early and analyze every cramp, and tingle that we feel. The worry doesn't go away. After things settle then you worry about all the testing your ob will do and so on. Just getting pregnant is a step in the right direction. Some unfortunatly don't work out (ivf or not). Just try to relax and lean on this board of lovely ladies(and gentlemen) for support. It is a long road with many speedbumps ( But worth it all the way)!!

neliswe - sorry your not feeling good - could it be a touch of OHSS? I haven't had anything so can't comment - but it would be worth telling the clinic?

Mrs IVF - totally understand the negativity - I thought it would all be over when I finally finally got a BFP - and they you realise thats just when the next set of anxiety begins! I couldn't believe I was left feeling even more highly strung then before! Its because your getting closer! Treat this as a small wonderful step as a step in the right direction. Take each day as it comes. You've come through one cross roads now - and your so very much closer to a successful pregnancy and being a mom. Kia kaha! Everything will be fine.

Hope everyone else is enjoying the BFP honey moon

Heidi - when are you up?

I had my second US today. I feel sooooooooo deflated. Can't explain. The eggs are a good size - but I was kind of rushed in and out - and now there are only 7 eggs - which I am sure was way less than friday (can't remember). Doctor didn't seem concerned. Don't they realise this is worse then life or death! Expect to trigger tonight and go for collection on Tuesday. I am stresssssing because I get the one doctor I didn't want for probably both the collection AND the transfer. I'm reassured by the clinic. But this person has done three failed transfers for me now - two of them totally bungled. Macsi - can I ask you your Ob/gyn is at the clinic? Who did you transfer? Was it all okay?

Good evening ladies,

I triggered earlier today and am scheduled for ER Tuesday morning.

Melo- don´t worry about the number changing, there will probably be more at retrieval, and you just need one good one. I was really rushed through this morning also, they did a rough count and only measured the lead. Last IVf they measured and recorded all of them. Our clinic is extremely busy this cycle.

Newisi-Try to keep up your electrolites, drink gatorade and eat salty food.

Hope the rest of you are still doing well. Baby dust to everyone.

Macsi-thanks for message. Hope your second beta goes great tomorrow! Mrs IVF hope the anxiety is lessening. Why can't I get the dread of results day out of head and just take this day by day!
