Thanks ladies for the encouraging words! DH and MIL listen, but I know it's not something just anyone gets...

I can't believe how much pain I'm still in ER was Tuesday morning, shouldn't I be feeling a little better by now?? I can get up and move around, but not for long. As in 20 minutes of movement is it. Nurse called back and wasn't concerned, gave me a list of symptoms to be on the look out for... but I'm not 100% convinced. Anyone else unable to function like a normal person post ER???

Prayers for all!

Teresa – my dear friend – I haven’t been posting much, but check on you often! I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. How are you doing?

Lauren319- YEAH! I just knew this would be your time!!! A sweet little girl!

Karin – I hear you. Your ED just doesn’t understand. I agree. Interested to hear what your dr. says on the day.

Amanda – You rock at keeping up the list! How are you doing? What a nice nurse! That’s awesome!

Lou – I seriously cannot wait until the 16th! This is IT!

Ester – How are you?

Franny – If you’re reading, I’m thinking about you and Barry!

Lots of baby dust to all of you!

Hi Tiger! Thanks for checking up on me and I'm doing good I guess. Josh and I were a bummed about the loss of our twin but we are trying to focus on the one we still have. The nurse at my OB office wants me to go back on the 26th to make sure the hemorriage is healed so I guess I'm just waiting for that. Nothing else to really report...still no ms only symptoms are still the fatigue, sore boobs, and peeing a lot (but I'm drinking tons of water too). I guess I just want the first tri. to be over so my chances of losing this one are reduced. Well you know IVF its always waiting, waiting, waiting.

Anyway, how are you doing? Do you have your trip for Costa Rica all planned out? Are you going shopping for new duds to wear on your trip?

[Anniegirl]

Hello!

FrecklesDC-Glad you are feeling better. 4 fertilized, that is great!

Lou71- Feel better soon. Migraines are the worst. I am hoping for the 22nd for my ER just simply for my work schedule. The hospital I work for has a really stupid sick day policy and they are not all that willing to work with me. I truly don't care what date it happens! Hope you get a BFP soon!

Kynlee-Anxiously awaiting your test results! Good luck!!!

Andrea4-I am living in Colorado now. I love Minneapolis, it is an awesome town. My cousin owns a restaurant there!

Tessa-Awesome beta!

Blang-Sorry about your beta limbo. Hang in there girl!

Chili-I hope everything works out with your donor woes!

Babyblu-Good luck with your transfer on Sunday. Keep us posted. I am not sure what research says about 5day vs 3 day transfers but my clinic only does 5 day.

Margi-congrats on starting stims.

Amanda-Free meds are awesome!! Woohooo!

Meinemo-VERSED TOTALLY ROCKS! Good luck with transfer on Sat!

AFM-I have an appointment for an ultrasound and blood work tomorrow. I am anxious to see how many and the size of my follies! Today I am feeling totally bloated and having some pain in my abdomen, nothing a heating pad won't fix. My estrogen is continuing to climb, and my doc says he is "happy" with how things look, so that is good. Oh BTW I have a lost post out there somewhere. Why does that happen?? Anyway if I answered anyones questions twice, sorry! I just can't find my last post!

[FrecklesDC]

Baby blu -

I was in misery these past few days. I had my ER on Tuesday and today I look like I'm 3 months pregnant. My RE is in Richmond (about an hour away from my house) so he asked me to come in today to get checked out. It looks like I have blood that has pooled in my abdomen. That's why I'm hurting so bad. He did say that it is common but won't stop the transfer scheduled for tomorrow. He also had me do some baseline blood work to make sure I'm not bleeding any more. Just hang in there. If you see lots of weight gain (I've actually had a 7 pound increase since my retrieval) but not enough for OHSS. Also, he doesn't think mine is because they only received 8 eggs total. (7 were good.) You may want to go in and have them look at you. I figured it is better to be safe than sorry.

My transfer is tomorrow so I am so excited. DESPITE FEELING LIKE ASS!

Hope this helps!

Kaylie

[Lauren319]

help.

my number DROPPED and they want me to come back on Saturday to see if they go back up. Has this happened to anyone?!

Is it over?!?!

[lou71]

Lauren319-- Oh no hun. Maybe things will be ok. What did your number drop to? You didn't say how much of a drop. I'll be praying for you.

[klinger13]

Lauren319 - NO, NO, NO!!! This is so freaking sucky!!! I know it's generally not a good outcome when they start to drop, but hopefully Saturday's draw will shed more light on the situation. I'm so sorry you're going through this and know that we're all pulling for you & your LO.

[kynlee]

Blang- keep your chin up, I agree if it werent at all possible I dont think they keep you hanging on and taking meds... there could still be a chance... I will be praying

Baby Blu 73- Welcome I am also new to the IVF world, its scary but exciting... and all these women are great it will make the process so much better having everyone that is going through what you are right here with you That is a good # of eggs I dont know much about day 3 vs day 5 but but I hear alot of good stories on Day 5 one's... I had OHSS so they had to freeze all mine... But I ad my ET almost 2 weeks ago and now waiting for Monday to get here so I can find out As for after ER i was bloated and in pain cause of the OHSS but I would call your Dr if you get in to much pain... I called mine daily and they watched me careful so I felt safe...

Klinger 13- Thats awesome that your Nurse hooked you up with some FREE meds you dont find too much help out there from DR offices lately...Good luck with sns saturday...

Meinemo - 7 Fertilized out of 9 that is AWESOME... :)Glad ER went well...

Lou- 2ww is going by but not fast enough... Good Luck on Saturday it will be here before you n it... So sorry you have all those headaches...

Anniegirl- Good Luck tomorrow at U/S

Freckles- Good luck at ET tomorrow

Lauren 319- I will praying everything will be ok...

Baby dust for everyone

4 days till I go for Beta.... Still feeling normal, still have some signs that AF could be coming but thinking positive that its nothing... Have a Great nite everyone...

[Lauren319]

She didn't tell me my number! She said that I "had to hold out hope" and that she's seen this happen ONCE before. It sounded like she didn't want to tell me because she didn't want to upset me, but I basically feel fucked with because there isn't really much hope and I'd like to stop shoving things up my nana now and let my body do what it needs to do.

[moorebaby]

lauren319- wth???!!! i'm praying for you sweetie! i can't believe the nurse didn't tell you what it dropped to...

lou- 2 more days!!! i'm praying for you!

[margi26]

Lauren319: WTH!!!! Aw...I am so sorry...the stress of this unknown....imo Beta Hell is worse than 2ww...I am praying that Saturday brings you good news. I had a similar situation where the nurse didn't want to tell me my beta level--giving me crap about my not being trained to interpret...blah...blah...it is so not fair. A friggin rollercoaster of emotions. I am sending every positive vibe I have your way.

[baby_blu73]

Kaylie -

I hafta say it's comforting knowing I'm not the only one feeling like a pile of poo. I wish you the very best tomorrow for your ET!

Kynlee -

How bad was your OHSS that they cancelled the ET?? I've been reading the symptoms and if I have it, it's mild (for now)... Wishing the best for your upcoming beta!

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes!

Keeping you all in my prayers!

[Tess69]

Lauren319 - noooooo! I'm really, really hoping for some good news for you tomorrow. Perhaps you can give your clinic a call to ask for the beta number. Not knowing it just sux..and you have a right to know it. If you want to of course. I believe that the more open and honest a clinic is easier it is for you to deal with whatever comes your way.

Kaylie - take care and be sure to contact your RE if your pain gets worse.

Lou - not long now. I think we should create an award for those strong ladies that don't POAS. I know exactly what you mean about wanting to take your migraine meds. It may sound terrible, but when I found out my last pregnancy was not viable, one of my first thoughts was, 'I can take my migraine meds.

Blang - lots of 100% pure New Zealand positive vibes heading your way.

Klinger - awesome about the meds. We have a sucky regulation here which doesn't allow you to return unused meds. So no chance of giving or receiving donations. Good luck on Saturday...go ovary go!

Meinemo - wow! Great fertilisation rate. Good luck with the fertility reports over the next few days.

Annie - all the best for you tomorrow.

Freckles - happy transferring tomorrow.

Kynlee - not long now. AF signs can be similar to early preggo signs. I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Teresa - I'm so sorry for the loss of one of you wee twins. Hope you u/s shows that the hemorrhaging has stopped. The other little baby IS going to stick, stick, stick!

AFM - I got hit by a big fat tiredness cloud yesterday. I think it was the longest day at work ever! Here I was thinking that I might be super human...so not! Was a bit the same today with the added bonus of the start of a migraine. I've drank shit loads of water all day and managed to keep the migraine pretty much at bay. Left work a bit early though as I started to feel myself heading downhill. Ah for one weeny little Imigran tablet. Not to be though...I'm getting better and grinning and bearing it.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. I'm going to have a lazy one.

[klinger13]

Lauren319 - Oh, I want to smack that nurse. I mean I'm sure she just thinks it's for the best, but each person needs to deal with things in their own way, and I would want to know the number so I could start processing it. Hopefully they'll tell you today if you call and then hope Saturday brings better news.

Nancy - Good luck with your SnS today! Hoping those follies have been growing, growing, growing!

Kaylie - Good luck with ET today!! Just think by tonight you'll be PUPO, Woo-hoo!!

Meinemo - Are you all ready for your ET tomorrow? So exciting!! Hope all goes well so definitely keep us posted.

Lou - You are a very strong woman for not POAS!! I agree, you need an award LOL. Can't wait to hear your beta results tomorrow!

Sonya - How are you? Hoping your ER went well on Tuesday and wondering when you're having your ET. Can't wait to hear that everything went great and you're not in too much pain!

Krys - Good luck with your beta today?

Brandy - Any news on today's HPT? Are they going to have you do another beta?

AFM, excited that I'm now adding a third Menopur and the antagonist injection (Ganirelix) to my shots tonight. Means I've got at least one good sized follie and now hopefully the rest will catch up in size now. Looking forward to tomorrow's SnS.

Hope everyone has a good weekend! Anyone got any good plans (other than stalking Lou's beta results tomorrow)? I'm not doing much of anything here, which is just fine by me.
