I got my final embryo report this morning. They were able to freeze 3! We have 3 little snowbabies. I've never had this happen before...all of mine arrest except for the 2 we transfer every time. So, this was great news. Hoping the great news continues for us and we get a BFP soon. :)

What's everyone doing for the holiday this week?

cwehrs - I am so sorry, Huge hugs. Have you given thought to DHEA? My new RE also added femara before my cycle and I got more eggs with lower dose of follistim and menopur. I wish you the best

mellow - YEAY for frosties! I never had frosties so that news is amazing! Congrats!!!

blair - talk about going nutso and I am in such a panic over this number, I keep getting flashbacks of my ectopic and how happy I was to get crushed later. Alright not going to happen, we are both getting awesome doubling tripling betas!!!

myizzy & cwehrs ((((((Big Hugs)))))))) to both of you. Sorry you got this news. I will pray for you for now and in the future. :cry:

For you gals with the BFP and increasing betas, Congrats!!!!!! Yay send us your baby dust :D

So... I had my ER Tues Nov 16th and ET friday Nov 19th and it was a 3d transfer, so correct me if I'm wrong "I'm 3dp3dt"
I called my RE today to find out that the 3 embyros that they were watching over the weekend did not make it to freeze! Oh my, so now what is in my mind is that what is going to make those 2 embies inside of me make it if the others couldn't. Maybe I was better off not knowing :roll:
Mt RE has me schedule to come in for my beta on Dec 4th, hmmm is that right 15days after transfer. I'm starting to really think i'll be POAS. So confused

Good luck all of you waiting for betas and those just starting with the injections

I usually wait until the evening to do some personals, but you ladies have me on pins and needles! :D

Carrie: Welcome!! You are a few days ahead of me in Crazytown!! My beta is scheduled for 12/2. Will you be POASing?

Blair: Yes ma’am…I am about ready to run for mayor! I am going to be testing out my trigger…so let the peeing begin! :lol:

Mellow: Woohoo on frosties! Could this cycle get any better for you, or what? Oh, well when you get your BFP it will!!! :D

Healingheart: Yeah! And, really, they do get much easier…before you know it you’ll be like me or some of these other fine ladies—giving yourself a shot while in your car, bathroom of a concert, etc. without even the blink of the eye. :shock:

Ladybug: Congrats on go-ahead for transfer! Hope travel went/goes ok.

Cwehrs: Oh, no. :( So sorry about your embryo…I hope that the new plan works—sometimes that is what one needs—a shift in plans to get the right results. Have you thought about DHEA? ((HUGS))

MyIzzy: So very sorry for you. (((HUGS))) I will pray for your comfort right now.

Deedle~ yes you are correct, you are 3dp3dt. :) They are sure making you wait a long time for your beta. I would be peeing on lots of sticks if I were you....as long as you can handle the chance that you may get a bfn. I like to know so I'm not surprised on beta day with bad news. Embryos start to implant in the lining on days 7-9....so you are about there. :) I hope things work out for you. This is the first time I had any embryos make it to freeze, and both times before I still got pregnant. So don't lose hope! :)


Margi~ when will the peeing begin? I'm debating on whether to test out the trigger or not. It's probably already out, I seem to metabolize it quickly, and it's already been 9 days. Hmm, what to do. I only have two tests at home, wondering if I should stock up before the weekend.

Blair and Rio~ I'm going nuts with you while you wait. It's killing me. You both must be mad by now. :) Hoping for good news!

Just wanted to check in and let everyone know. I have been waiting anxiously for them to call so at 3:30 I called like they told me to and of course the results werent in yet. Then at 4:30 they called and said it was great at 944!!! Yeaaaa for doubling numbers. I wont go back until Dec 3 for my first ultrasound so I wouldnt be surprised if I end up buying tests to just make sure Im still pregnant between now and then.

Deedle: We were posting at the same time, I believe. And we are very close in timing. I think you are day 6 and I am day 4, but they are making you wait until day 15 for beta. Not to worry about embies not making it to frosties. Of course it is better to have them, but they transferred the best into you and they always do better inside of you where they belong so not having frosties doesn't mean the ones they transferred won't stick. Focus on those embi-babies sticking! And regarding POAS...um....see what I have to say to Mellow...

Mellow: print out the online $2 off coupons for FRER and get yourself some tests!

oh, my....I am sounding like a POAS pusher? I think I am officially no longer on the verge of Crazytown, but right smack in the middle of downtown...running for mayor! :P

Blair: Yippeeeee!!! Awesome number...FABULOUS!!! :D :D

387 at 16dpo!!! beta doubling time of 38 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am just over the moon! I was so scared walking over and going to the lab, yep I cheated and didn't wait for the call, I had DH take me to the lab and I got a copy of it!!! My Estradiol is 3150 is that super high? Might be why I have OHSS...

Margi - I should have sent you the HPTs I had still... too funny POAS pusher...

Blair - wooooohooooo for an awesome beta, how many days dpo are you? Twins?

mellow - are you POAS crazed yet? Let the peeing begin!

deedle - don't worry, they transfer the best ones, my one little guy didn't make it either so it really doesn't mean anything, you have just as much of a chance of a BFP if they made it to freeze or not!
