i usually have my er on the 12th day after starting stims. that would put the er on saturday, the 13th since i started on tuesday, the 2nd. so i would be triggering on friday.

Osi - I'm sorry about your negative HPT.

Klinger - Glad to hear that you are having fun!! Positive vibes for your 2nd beta coming up.

Margi - I hope that you are each enjoying your reunion and letting the fun of seeing old friends distract you from all the IVF crap for a while. We all need a mental break from this craziness once in a while.

Tammy and Lauren - I'm hoping that those leg pains mean great results coming up!!!

Rio - waiting to hear your awesome fert report. I know its going to be terrific!!

Ester - Sounds like you are doing great! Grow follies grow!!

Kaylie - Hope you start feeling better and get the chance to enjoy this! This is your moment to take in all the congrats and good wishes and just embrace the feeling of a life growing in you. Stupid hormones!

Leorira - Loved your post! Sometimes the rampant cussing is what makes it easier to deal with all this crap so let it all out.

AFM - Went for my 1st SnS today. Estrogen at 274 and about 10 follies growing. 4 on my right and 6 on my left averaging about 10-12 each. The NP thought that I would stim for about 4 more days which would make my ER on Saturday. I'm still a little worried that my E2 levels seem a little low. Does anyone have any input on what yours were or should be at this stage (day 6 of stims)?

[moorebaby]

so my estrogen level came back at 659, so they are having me lower my follistim to 150 & continue w/ the 5 units of lupron.

i think i'm feeling the effects of the increased estrogen this cycle...headache, moody BIG TIME, tired.

[TammyS]

Cheri...everyone is different, but I know for me...my E2 levels start off really low and then jump up big time at the end. Yours probably will too as they start to mature. Sounds like everything is going terrific for you so far! Yayy!

[Cheri76]

Thanks Tammy! You always make me feel so much better. I thought I would be more relaxed this time around, but I still find myself questioning/googling through the entire process. The numbers are just so much different this time around. But then again, the last result was a BFN so I should hope that they are different! GRRRR!!!!! Drives me crazy!!! and I'm not even in 2 ww yet.

[Osi]

Today must be one of the worse days of my life and to cap it off, I now have the flu! I guess that's why I was getting headaches.

I can't help you - the canadian measurement for E2 is different than the American. Try to relax and focus on the follies and your emotional state of mind - and control the things you can!!! Look at me.. miss obsessive freak who can't put the google out of her hourly movements from the first day of stims until the end of it all.

Find something to distract yourself... a little project.. it's hard but I FORCE myself to think about other things to pass the time and it works for the most part. Big hugs.. you'll be great.

I am sooo very very sorry. That really sucks big time. I'll throw a few thing around for you and kick a few things too...you go get some rest and feel better soon. Great Big Hugs.

[DandMe]

Osi; I'm sorry you are feeling badly - emotionally and physically! Is today your beta day? I can't find the information at hand..

[baby_blu73]

Osi - I'm so sorry honey! Don't lose all hope, I'm sure that's easier said than done. We're all here for you. Stay strong! Can you request the beta test?

Crystal, Tammy, Lauren, Kynlee (PUPO Quads?) - How are you ladies feeling??? Betas will be here soon!!! I'm looking forward to hearing your awesome #s ladies!!! Side note: Tammy - Silly Kitty!!! Maybe you could keep a spray bottle of water close by and when he's looking at you like he may jump, give him a little squirt.

Rio - Awesome egg making!!! Take it easy, you'll be PUPO in no time!!! P.S. Rio was right. hehehe

Jennie - That's great news! You'll be PUPO soon, too!

Sonya - I feel you on the confrontational mood swings! Poor DH... I think he thinks I'm crazy and his buddy tried to convince me hormonal mood swings are "all in my head"... Okay! Maybe you'll feel differently when I punch you in the face for being a big, dumb CAVEMAN! LMAO!!! Men...

Moorebaby - GROW FOLLIES GROW!!! That is such great news, I'm really happy for you!!!

afm - I'm a hot mess! I'm having the worst lower back pain of my life. It's sharp, shooting pain when I move. I'm gonna call tomorrow to see if my RE has an opinion on this. I thought it was supposed to be dull, achy pain in your back. I can barely move. Any thoughts ladies? Also, the nausea is definitely kicking in... food tastes AMAZING, but wants to come up before it even goes down... never been happier to feel so crappy, that's for sure!

Well... the news is not as awesome as I had expected with a personal record of 14 eggs. (#1 - 7 eggs, #2 - 6 eggs) but it is good:

14 eggs retrieved out of 14 follicles. They ICSId all of them. 8 were too immature to fertilize and 1 fertilized abnormally because it was immature.

out of group A which were the completely mature eggs (MII) 4 fertilized normally out of 4
out of group B which were still immature (MI) 1 fertilized normally the only one on the edge of being mature
the rest were group C (GV) and could not fertilize at all or normally cause they were not mature - 9

So I now have 5 embryos and I am praying so hard that they turn into beautiful embryos so we can transfer on Tuesday, for sure it will be a 3dt since I have 5 embies. I am happy I have the 5 but you all know how it goes, the more you start with the more you have in the end when things sometimes go wrong. So I was bummed that so many were still immature and was thinking what if they waited another day? Who knows... I am just praying the 5 make it and I might transfer all 5. I am so scared, not having frosties, ever, scares me.

I still have bright blood when I wipe, not gushing or like a period but definitely pink blood and still feel like someone beat me up with a basebal bat plus I am starting to feel warm...

Tammy - yeay for leg cramps hopefully you will get more symptoms very soon!!! Kitty stop jumping on mamma! My son and my puppy have both been jumping on me, ouch!
Osi - it could still be early, I hope you feel better!
Cheri - I hear ya! KNowing too mcuh is a curse sometimes! My levels were low too. 10 follies is great!!!
moore baby - good follies! grow follies! 9 so close together that is great! I hear you on the more the better.
Dandme - one week till US, sometimes that is worse than 2ww! Your betas are so great! Enjoy your BFP and praying for a wonderful HB on your US, maybe 2?
Kaylie - dont read too much into it symptoms come and go and drive you crazy especially on all the meds we are on.

As always thank you for all the support and I am thinking of all of you!

[TammyS]

Sonya and Baby...today was her beta and she tested by hpt early this morning both. I am assuming that she meant that she got her results back.

Baby...I was sleeping everytime he has jumped on me...which is only when I'm about to have ER or am pregnant. So maybe it is a good sign. Anyhow, I normally sleep on my side with the pillow against my belly and he sleeps next to me...but somehow I ended up on my back early this morning when it happened again...his full weight landing on top of my tummy. How am I doing? I am officially in crazytown. I dont actually feel much of anything at all today, except a little bit of pain from the cat...and now, I am worried. Hope you feel better soon.

Rio...Hoping and praying that all 5 continue to grow and become beautiful embies! I'm sorry that your fert report wasnt better...but 5 is terrific and you will be pregnant and you will have a baby or 2 or 5...and really that IS the bottom line, right? You're bleeding? Gosh girl...hope you feel better soon! Get some rest.
