Hi All,
Very happy to be out of bed but taking things very slow. Thank you everyone for all your support. I go for progesterone test Wed am and PG test Oct 1st. Ass is still sore but I haven't been moving much so I'm not feeling it as bad. I have to leave in 10 mins for accupuncture ( dh is driving) so I only have a little time for personals.

Klinger- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Sorry I'm late things have been a little busy around here Thanks for all your support. Yay for af!!! LOL

Tammy- Soooo Sorry!!! I have everything crossed for some good news today. I bet you still have a couple left in there. I'll be looking for your update.

OSI and Babidreamz- Welcome! There's lots of support here!

Ana- Your boys are ADORABLE!!! You must feel so blessed!

Lou- You and DH make a beautiful couple!! I do know the Sox lost that day Things haven't been going so well for them. Thanks for all your well wishes. Congrats on starting your FET cycle!!

Anyway that's all the time I have now. Off to get stuck a few more times
Love hugs and baby dust to all,
Clili

Wow - I missed so much!

Klinger - happy belated b-day hope your leg feels better and yeay for AF!

Franny -keep those embibabies cozy they will be implanting soon!

Chili - congrats on being PUPO I think transfering was the best decision no place like mommy!

Tammy - I posted on the other thread, I am praying for you and we will hear great news soon!

Moorebaby - congrats on getting roscoe home, keep a bottle of vinegar ready for housebreaking!

lou - you guys are such a gorgeous couple!

AFM - have terrible bronchitis and so does DS. My asthma is acting up and lungs hurt, I found it really ahrd to stay still to try and get better cause I am either running after puppy or DS and wonder how in the world I will stay still after ET! The nurse also said they like PIO, last time I did it for 5 days and was so lumpy and bumpy that the neddle would jum out and oil would squirt out! I could not walk or sit and that's with heating pad so I really hope they let me use something else! I had such a bad reaction! Anyway I am here praying for all of you girls and great results!

[TammyS]

Hey girls,
Just got my beta back. It's a 38. I'm still pretty sure it is on its way back down...but I guess we'll see on Wednesday. Thanks for all of your thoughts, words, and prayers.

[riogirl71]

Tammy - big hugs hun and praying that there is one very strong baby in there!

Rio--I hope that you and your son feel better soon! Lots of rest!

Chili--You're doing so great! I am so proud of you! What's a few more sticks...right?

Ana--You have the cutest boys!

Lou--You're going to look HOT at your reunion! I wouldn't worry about the question of kids. You won't be the only one...I'm sure. You simply say...we're working on it. Say you've been enjoying life and you've decided to start soon. Unless they already know your struggles, they will not blink an eye. How's the lupron? I'm not looking forward to it.


AFM... I got an email on Friday from the agency saying my ED started AF. I thought she was on BCP...guess not. Then i got an email from the RE office saying that as soon as contracts are signed and the genetic test come back that I would get my calendarand she would start bcp. First of all...contracts have already been signed and I thought she was already on them. I tried to call and the nurse that emailed me and my RE were gone for the day. So I made an appt for a phone consult for this morning. I finally talked to my RE and he said that he didn't know we had legal clearance. He had to check even though the lady from the agency assured me that she emailed it several times. Finally he says that we had it and he didn't know....WTF??? Not sure what happened there. So....I am waiting for my calendar. He said I would get it today or tomorrow. He has to talk to or see my ED and will get back to me. She did start BCP this weekend though...which was good. We are still waiting for 2 genetic tests to come back. CF and Tay Sacs were negative...waiting for SMD and Fragile X. I'm worried that the legal clearance thing could have set us back a full cycle....AARGGGG!!! I will keep you updated.

I hope that everyone has a great week. WELCOME to all of you new ladies! I will catch up on more personals later!

[karin1]

Oh Tammy.....you must have posted while I was posting. I'm so sorry. What did your RE say? Is he hopeful? I wouldn't give up hope yet. If there's only one, wouldn't it make sense that it's only 38 so soon? I know nothing about beta numbers and hope that it rises quick. I am sending you lots of love and prayers.((((HUGS)))))

[hopeforbabies]

I agree with Wondercat I really need to start checking in over the weekend. I wish my computer at home worked better because there is so much to catch up on! I'll do a few quick personals for now so please forgive me.

Victoria & Ana- I am so sorry for your BFN's and my heart breaks for you both. Please know that my thoughts are with you.

Klinger- Happy belated birthday!!!! Glad that AF finally came for you. Were you able to get your tests scheduled?

Ryann- Hope your are feeling better from your AF. Are you going to keep looking for a new puppy? Dont forget to look at your local pound. I have gotten 3 out of my 4 animals from ours and they are wonderful furbabies.

Franny- The youtube video your DH played was really sweet. Other then being bored how are you feeling? When is your beta again?

Tammy- I know that your beta came back low but remember they also had you come in extra early for it. I am praying that it goes up a lot on Wed! ((((((hugs))))))

Ester- How is your new furbaby adjusting to being home? Are you going to post pics of him?

dawgs- Fingers crossed for your beta today!

Tiger- How are you doing sweetie I miss you! Have you and your DH decided when to start your next cycle? Sorry but I cant remember!

rio- UGH! Sorry you and your DS are so sick I know you have your hands full between him and the puppy but try to get as much rest as you can so you get better faster.

Chili- Congrats you being PUPO! Sorry your bum hurts!

Lou- How are you feeling now that they lowered your Lupron? Are the headaches better? Glad your SnS went well and you got the ok to start your patches. What's next for you?

karin- Glad that things are finally moving along with your ED. Hopefully they can alter her cycle since she is on the BCP to fit with your cycle and not have to wait an extra month. My fingers are crossed for you!

Welcome to all our newbies!

AFM- Ok yes I was sneaky and bought tests (cheapies from the dollar store) and decided I would try one on Sat. morning which came up negative. I was mad at myself for breaking down and testing and spent the whole weekend in the dumps. Which wasn't cool because my MIL was staying with us and kept asking if I was ok. So I looked at my print out of what the embies are doing for each day past transfer and I realized that they wouldnt have even started producing HCG until that day, so I decided to test again this morning and a line popped up! Its not dark but definately there! I plan to test again on Wed. which is my beta day in hopes that it looks darker. I'm not really counting this as a BFP because I had a positive stick last cycle and it resulted in a chemical, but I feel much better then over the weekend. I haven't told DH and dont plan to until I hear what my beta number is. I am praying so hard that it comes back at a good number. I will be on cloud 9 if its anything over 100!

[lou71]

Tammy -- I know it's hard to hold onto hope but there have been babies born with betas less than that. Please don't pee on any more sticks and try to read into the darkness of the line. You'll just drive yourself crazy. Only a quantitative test will give you what you need at this point. I'm hoping with everything I've got that Wednesday's beta rises and you've got a bean still in there.

Rio -- Thanks for the compliment. I'm so sorry about the bronchitis that has gotten both you and your son. Take it easy.

Chili -- Thanks hun. DH is a HUGE Sox fan. He's just a big sports nut in general, but especially baseball and especially the Sox. All I can say is.... I'm glad it's football season! I enjoy games too but the Sox play like 5 times a week! At least football is just once.

Wondercat -- Holy crap.... I can't imagine using 2" needles for PIO!!! I'm already afraid of hitting bone with the 1.5". OUCH!

Franny -- I hear ya on the baseball games costing a lot of money. The tickets weren't too bad, but the parking was almost $30... plus a few beers each at $7-8.... plus some food at nearly $20 each. We spent almost $120 on top of the tickets! I kept making "Field of Dreams" movie references at the game and DH quizzed me and asked me if I knew which park they were in when he heard the voice saying "Ease his pain." And I said "Fenway! Of course." We've never been to Boston but would love to go.

Osi -- Yes, bloating is pretty normal. Most of us look 4 months pregnant by the time we are PUPO...lol.

klinger -- Oh a saline u/s isn't bad at all. I had a trial transfer, called a "mock" transfer at my clinic and it was good that they did it as my cervix was super tight and needed some stretching. When it came time for ET, they went very smooth. Good luck!

Good luck to whomever I missed as well!

AFM -- Increased my Estrace to 2mg twice a day... that's not too hard to remember, but Thursday I go to THREE times a day. That's going to be tough going. I thought about bringing a travel alarm for my desk but I am out and about so much that I'm afraid it would go off and I wouldn't be around. My co-workers would love me for that.

[txcplforivf]

BABI - yes this is my first ivf...i have no clue what im doing! i have a calendar that begins tomorrow and im nervous. I did have a IUI in August but that was way less complicated than this.

MOOREbaby - thanks for tellin me how to do the signature thing!

WHAT DOES PUPO stand for? anyone...

Lupron starts in the morning!!!!! Here we go!!!!!!!!

[Lauren319]

Tammy - I refuse to believe it was chemical. I'm still holding out hope.

Chili - Congrats on being PUPO!

My computer broke and I just got a new one...sorry I've been MIA.

AFM - Sorry I can't do more personals. I've been super tired and had my doc check my thyroid again. I'm already on a low dose of meds, but they may have to up them. My SnS went well though - 10 little follicles! They just have to grow now.

Much love to all of you!

[TammyS]

Teresa!!! Wooohoooo!!!! Sooo awesome!

Wondercat...my clinic a few years ago...decided to have you draw up the PIO with the 1.5" needle and switch the needle for putting it in to a 1" needle. I believe that alot of clinics are going to this now...and would ask your nurse about it. 2" is old school ridiculous.
You poor thing.

Lou...love the new pics. You're one hot mama-to-be! lol I set my phone alarm for everything.

Tx...PUPO...Pregnant till proven otherwise. Welcome aboard and good luck!

Rio...so sorry that you and DS are sick...how awful. Get well soon!

Karin...I told my nurse what is going on and why I think I'm miscarrying...and she acted like I was being stupid. She said my number should be at least 100 on Wednesday and that we will see then. Whatever.
Ugh, for your clinic possibly screwing things up...I hope you dont have to wait another cycle.

Chili...Get some rest.

Lauren319...Grow Follies Grow. Hope you get your thyroid under control quickly! Yay for a new computer.

Klinger...Yayy for AF!

Franny...sorry you're stuck in bed and missing out...but it will all be worth it.

[hopeforbabies]

Lauren- Ten follies is great! Grow follies Grow! When is your next apt?

[txcplforivf]

I like that PUPO....that makes me happy that you guys consider it like that, thats what i was planning on telling myself when I have the transfer. I thought maybe I was just crazy LMAO!!! I wanna be excited, yet im scared to death. I am sick of POAS for nothing but BFN's...I havent seen much about you girls POAS...yall just wait for beta? Advise???

Thanks yall for teachin me about all this!

[Tiger04]

Oh my dear friend Teresa! Nothing makes me happier than to read this! I know you're not getting your hopes up, but I'm counting this as a BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
