[x0Heather0x]

Chelle- congrats on your little boy blast!! I'll have to get my dh to upload my blast pic too!

So I had no trigger so how do I count my dpo? Doesn't implantation happen in the next few day?

Second beta was 824!!!!!

Just crashing to say YAY Ryann!!!! Awesome 2nd beta!!!

Heather your blast transfer was a 5 day right? then that day of Fet was 5dpo!

[margi26]

Heather: I was just going to say the same thing that Rio beat me to So today you are 1dp5dt or 6dpo! You are just 3 days ahead of me...will you be POASing along with me?

Lauren: You poor thing. Sorry that today has got you down, and I hear you about the cold weather. Ugh. So I will "give" you permission for a one day pity party and then you gotta snap out of it and get on the PMA train!!! This next cycle WILL work. You have to believe it. Look at my crazy history and I am hoping and praying that I get my BFP this time. I know that it is so hard and at times so discouraging. Vent it out--then figure out how to make this cycle the best one you have had. It is going to be my best (and last) cycle!!!

AFM: Ready to POAS!!! Help....lol...

[ChelleDe]

Heather, thank you soooo much!! Congrats to you too! Its cool we are PUPO today and had blasts!!!

It so exciting !!

[margi26]

PS to Heather: When to POAS? Depends on your level of addiction. I plan on testing out my trigger because I want to know as soon as possible. So I will be testing about 6dpo to see if the trigger is still in my system. It would be expected to have a "false" positive that day...then you can test daily to watch the trigger fade out that way when it gets darker (and it will!!!!) then you know it is real. Or it might disappear one day, and come back the next with a positive. Other, less crazed addicts, wait until about 10dpo to feel assured trigger is out. Then, the most conservative, wait until 12-14dpo when it is appopriately "recommended".


Of course my mindset is:

[riogirl71]

Margi - Ready set Pee! It would be sad to not pee on those poor sticks.... hear them calling for you?

Heather - I poas on day 9 and it was a negative, no line no nothing, trigger out. Then I did not POAS on day 10 but I got OHSS so I poased on day 11 and got BFP! I would recommend testing trigger out so there is no if...

[x0Heather0x]

Well I had no trigger sooooo I guess thats not an issue with me. However I did get some 10IU tests along with some regular EPT electronic ones. So Im ready to poas LOL After the year Ive had, well lets just say Im not negative, Im just realistic. Im just on the roller coaster of life and its been down for so long Im just ready for something positive and happy!

So this poas... how does this work best? Early morning? Afternoon? I think I will do my first one on the 21st.

Just popping in to say CONGRATS Ryann!! That's an awesome beta!! How exciting!

I'm trying to stay sane through the stories I am hearing from you wonderful ladies! My wait seems like it is lasting forever! I just had my IVF class yesterday and found out which protocol we'll be using for me. Me and DH are SOO thankful that we have no IM injections in our protocol! Even with being a nurse, I don't think I could self-administer an IM and DH always starts feeling queasy at the sight of a needle or blood. So major weight lifted off our shoulders, lol! Now if only AF plans to show up so we could get this process started!

Sorry to hear of all the BFN's in this group. Stay strong and fight this infertility! I'm rooting for all of you!

And to all the 2ww'ers, hang in there. Wishing you all the best!

Congrats Ryann! that's wonderful!

I have another polypectomy next tuesday! i wish they would stop coming back!!! this will be my 4th one...i just want to start the cycle.

[x0Heather0x]

jkulab- do you have PCOS? In the past Ive also had problems with polyps and my doctor told me it was due to my PCOS. Ever since I started metformin Ive had to have polyps removed every 4 years. I had 2 removed 11/9/10 and also elected to have a D&C to prevent anymore from popping up that could have been on the surface. Polyps also show up on the outside of your body and they are referred to as skin tags and can be located around your neck and under arms and in the crease of your thighs. You can clip those little suckers off but they grow back all the time like polyps do. My doctor told me those are also from PCOS. ~~ Heather~~

[ChelleDe]

Hey Guys!!

I can't tell you how excited I am to be PUPO!! It's great to be with a bunch of people who understand!!!

Question - My Dr said bed rest on your back for 2 days get slowly do things on day 3. Did everyone here stay on their back for ET?

[jkulab]

Dear Heather, thanks for the info. i looked up PCOS and i don't think i have that. I've very regular and did basal temperatures for 2yrs to make sure i ovulate which i do ovulate. but thank you for thinking of me.

[amanda1979]

rypell- Congrats on the 2nd beta!! that is wonderful news.

AFM: I am still waiting on a schedule I ask my DH if should call the nurse & he said just be patient she would call when they had them ready. I don't think he realizes the train with patience on it left a long time ago..lol Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
