[laylastam]

cshell - thanks babe! how are you feeling? any symptoms????

ryann - sweetheart, you are soooooooooooooo preggers! i reckon your beta will be very strong as you started showing up on HPTs very early....GOOD ON YOU! I hope i get some luck from you!!!

leorira - have you retested yet?????

[easley4]

Hi everyone sorry it's been awhile! Wow there has been tons going on here!!!!

ryann~ Congrats! I agree w/layla, you are SO preggers! Whens your first beta? When was your ET?

layla~ Yeah! Your PUPO!!! Your blasts sound perfect! Welcome to the dreaded 2ww!

Dahlias~ How did it go? PMA coming your way!

Cshell717 & leorira~ How are ya'll holding up in the 2ww? When do you get your 1st beta?

AFM~ We got our call Friday morning that our 3rd little bean made it 6 days and so off to the freezer it went!!!
So happy to have an extra little one in there! I've been doing pretty good, lots of light to mild cramping since the day after my ET. Nothing painful just noticable. Praying that's a good sign! Can anyone tell me how to count my days since my ET? I did my trigger on Thrus, 12-02 and a 3 day ET on Tues, 12-07. Am I 4dp3dt?

I've been reading some stories on another board, and I have seen some stories that really freak me out ! I never realized what a rough and emotional journey IVF is. The women going through this are such wonderful and strong people. I love this board b/c it gives me such comfort to have a place to come and share my ups and downs and you all will understand. My girlfriends who have never had to do this just look at me like I'm crazy! Oh say the awful~ If it's meant to be, it will be. Just stop worring about it and it will happen!?!?
Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now, just wanted ya'll to know I really appreciate you!

PRAYERS & BABY DUST SENT TOEVERYONE!!!!!!!

[rypell1985]

Easley...my transfer was 12.3 and my beta is 12.15! I can't wait!

I am so happy you have a frostie! What a wonderful relief!! Yes, you are 4dp3dt, or 7dpo.

[easley4]

Thanks ryann! What is dpo? How many units of hcg did you get? 5 or 10,000? I did 10,000 so I'm wondering when I can start POAS? I was thinking this Tuesday? I will be 7dpt. How long did you wait?

PMA coming your way, the 15th is just around the corner!!!

[rypell1985]

Dpo is days past ovulation. I didn't trigger because mine was a FET. I know some ladies test out the trigger, which means you would POAS and get a + because of the trigger, keep POAS until it turns - which means the trigger is gone, then any time after that if you get a BFP it's all yours! I started POAS just 3 days after my transfer, but knew it was crazy early, ijust knew that since I didn't have a trigger as soon as I saw a bfp it was mine! POAS takes a lot of strength though!!!!

Hi All - So we got our 3 day fertilization report today heres what it says:

4 x 8 Cells Excellent Quality
1x 9 Cells Excellent Quality
1 x 7 Cells Excellent Quality

6 x 6 Cells Fair Quality
1 x 9 Cells Fair Quality

So it looks like we will have at least 6 great eggs to work with - Anyone know what the difference is between 9, 8 or 7 cells? I am excited with the results & that we will have some to freeze my DH asked me this morn if I was going to go all octo Mom on him & implant all 6!!! Ah that would be a big NO!!!!!

Ryann - Did you poas today? What were the results?

Easley4 - I was reading on some other boards too, lots of tough women out there! It is pretty scary some of the things these ladies have done to achieve motherhood - nothing short of miraculous I think we all are for doing this to ourselves to achieve pregnancy!

Cshell - How are you feeling today - any signs or symptoms to report?

AFM - My parents arrived yesterday to take care of my 2 yr old while I am letting the new little guys nestle in for the long haul so we are sewing Christmas stockings Pretty amusing since I don't know how to sew! But my Mom is an expert! Dad & DH are off hitting the slopes for a few runs before our next big storm hits.I am getting nervous about the transfer & that everything goes OK and I am not a total wreck and over think everything as I tend to do! Type A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW what is PMA?

Thank you to all you girls I am so fortunate to have found you - I am sure there are many other boards out there to join but you all really spoke to me and I am happy I can be a part of it you have made this so much easier!

[rypell1985]

Katie...great embie report!!!! Yes I POAS...still a bfp!!!! Pma is positive mental attitude. Enjoy having your mom with you!!!

SOO great to be watching as everyone progresses! I haven't posted since last week - which on this board seems like a lifetime ago! We had a pile of drama on the day that we went in for a day 3 ET (that now seems far to negative to post here), which meant that we ended up waiting until day 5. With fingers and everything else crossed (and fully expecting the not at all up to par embies that we'd grown to that point to not be viable) on day 4 and the morning of day 5, we went to the clinic with more than a bit of trepidation! Our prayers and good vibes from somewhere kicked in, as we still had 3 good blasts to transfer - including one 4bb - and a little left over to freeze. Needless to say, I cried. Although I'd hoped otherwise, I had fully expected that we were going to have to fly home with a failed cycle.

So now we enter the tww with some of you! I'm not sure how it's counted - is it from the day of transfer or the day of retrieval? If the former, we're a few days out - if the latter (which I'm hoping!) we're 8 days along. Close to POAS time!

Hugs and warm thoughts from here to all of you, wherever this finds you.

Ceebee...congrats on bein pupo!!! Sorry it was such an ordeal the 2ww is technically the wait from transfer to beta, which sometimes isn't even a full 2weeks. Mine is a totaly of 12 days, buy POAS long before then!!! Still 4 days to go for me!!! Goood luck and tons of baby dust for a bfp!
