Amanda: I'm okay with multiples, except for the fact that I have chronic hypertension. So, double high risk. I truly feel that God will give me whatever I can handle. I'm just thankful that it's positive, period!

I remembered you talking about the increased risk so I was hoping that big giant beta didn't have you worried. And I agree - I'm so excited that you got a positive and it's an awesome beta! Congrats on officially being pregnant!!! This board is just hopping with BFPs!!!

Sonya help! lol

I am 11 days removed from trigger and this am I have a faint line (I used ovidrel) could this be it? I am cautious but I am comparing the tests (internet cheapies) and yesterday there was no line) In the past if it was a bfn I would never get a faint positive 11 days after trigger especially that my bladder is tiny and I pee like every 3 hours sorry tmi

I guess I am now officially in crazy town...oh God help me...lol

Picture!!?? IC's are fun - but you really do need to use a FRER. I never got a real line on my IC until I was about 13DPO and had been getting lines on my FRER for days. I highly doubt it's the trigger. You would be 9DPO now? It sounds very, very hopeful! Did the line appear right away? Evaps on IC's don't usually appear right away. Tell me more! LOL Sounds good though....

update from today's sns:

i have about 20 follies; of course, not all are mature...i think about 15 are.

no more lupron or follistim....woohoo!!! i'm triggering tonight at 11:45 & er is set for 10:45 saturday & i have to be there at 10. have to go back for b/w tomorrow to measure the hcg from the trigger.

the next hurdle is the fertilization. each cycle we have 2 that fertilize...just enough for the et. they didn't even take the freezing fee since that aways happens. they always end up doing a refund, so they said if anything does end up being frozen, they'll bill us.

et is set for tuesday & the beta for saturday, the 27th. the et is the day after my mom's b-day & the beta for the day before my grandmother's b-day who passed away almost 3 years ago.

Yay for a nice follie count!! Funny how all clinics are different. Ours make us take a hpt morning of ER so they know the trigger is there. I'd feel better about a blood draw. LOL I want to ask them if they use cheap tests. But I don't.

I will be praying for a great fert result next!! Are you doing ICSI?

[DandMe]

Sonya...I had to pop on here regarding your question to Osi regarding frosties. DH and I have been struggling with this as well. We have 4 frosties and had planned to transfer 2. RE said she would thaw 3 and in the case that all 3 survive, she would transfer all 3. I don't want to have just 1 frostie. She then said she would start with thawing 2, and if they don't both survive, they could thaw 2 more same day. This was my plan until I went for my second opinion and this doctor doesn't think I need IVF. Now I want to just thaw all 4 and transfer the survivors because I don't want any left. I kinda want to go all out for this one, because if it doesn't work we are going to try the clomid route for a while and I don't want to sit around and wonder if I should be using any remaining frosties. I hate this decision so much! I know the chances of all 4 surviving the thaw is pretty low, but if it did happen I know the chances of multiples is probably crazy high. I feel like that's a bridge I should cross if I get there. I don't know if I am crazy or what! I go tomorrow for my supression check and I told my RE nurse I wanted to discuss this with my RE tomorrow at my appt. We will see what she says. Let's just hope I'm supressed and have to actually make a decision regarding my frosties!

It's a tough decision, isn't it? Keep me informed as to how things go. What is your clinic's success with thawing? And I guess the grade of the embryos also make a difference....

[DandMe]

Beta is 355!!

That TOTALLY rocks! I think you have the new record for highest beta in the group for 14dpo?? LOL Yay for you!!!

[BakersBaby]

Hey Ladies !!

Thank you so much for your support. Hysteroscopy went well. I'm just kinda out of it and tired.

Tomorrow is teaching visit !! Is there anyone on the board who is where I am at? about to start shots?

HUGS !!!

Chelle - I start my lupron shots on 11/18 and should start stims 12/1-12/3. I think we are close???

[DandMe]

As for my embies...2 were 8 cell grade 6 (6 being the highest) and 2 were 7 cell grade 5 on day 3

[riogirl71]

Dandme - ah is assisted hatching I think.

crystal - Great beta!!! Congratulations!

Karin - you moving to San JOse? New job? Praying for great follies!

Osi - I am so sorry hun hopefully your RE will have a great game plan to get you pregnant soon! Yeay for 2 frosties

klinger - good luck on your 3rd beta!

Karian - wow 38 eggs is amazing! Can't wait to hear the fert report

Chelle - great news on the Hysteroscopy!!!

Ryann - that is a hard decision, are your frosties blasts or 3 day?

jennies - good luck on your FET!

Lauren - how is crazytown?

Tammy - how is the drooling hun? PMA for your BFP!!!

moore baby - Awesome follies - yeay for mature eggs! Enjoy your med free day! I hear ya we never have frosties either

AFM - sorry for lack of better personals, I really have been in a fog. I don't know why. THe only new thing for me is endometrin vs crinone or PIO last times. REally I get up and want to go lay down again, I can't even think straight. It really is like a fog and drowsy feeling. I am also doing estrace and medrol. Anyone get that? My nipples are ouch sore which they were not the other times, so I know the endometrin is doing something cause our babies are blasts today so I should have no symptoms of pregnancy today. I am trying to take it easy but having a little miracle makes it hard to take it easy, I am hopeful and went to acupuncture today. I really feel we are going to get pregnant. WHen we had our boy we transfered 10/8/8/5 and now we transfered 10/8/8/6 so I think it is a good sign! We have a 10 cell in the lab with fragmentation - not the prettiest embibaby but I am praying he makes it to blast and gets frozen, I feel kind of weirg guilty leaving the one little embryo there alone, crazy mamma talk! Got my little blasts floating around today, stick baby stick!

[karenthescorpio]

Moorebaby- Great follie count! Good luck Saturday. I will be sending you tons of mature follie dust and a load of fertilization magic dust! It's funny how procedures fall around other important dates to us. My 40th Bday is tomorrow and my transfer will be Monday!

Cystal- Congrats on a fantastic beta! woo whoo! Way to go momma!

Annashope- sounds like you are preggers! A faint line is a line! I really believe you are well past trigger shot showing up. Let the POAS marathon continue! Yeah! Sounds like great news is on the way!

Jennieswa- Hope your FET went well! Now you are PUPO! woo whoo! Are you going to POAS?

Karin1- praying for lots of follies for your ED...and that all things go well for the house transaction! Sell house sell!

Karian- Awesome, awesome egg count! You big egg factory! Looking forward to your fert report! Get some rest and drink lots of electrolyte water!

Osi- Sending you a big hug and prayer. We look forward to hearing your next steps.

DandMe- I hope are feeling more hopeful today. All is going to be ok.

Rio- Just relax and rest. All these drugs/hormones that we are injecting can mess with how we feel so much! Those embies are growing and getting ready to snuggle in!

AFM- Not much going on today. Feeling good. Not too bloated considering. Trying to stay busy. Looking foward to an update on my little embies tomorrow!
