Tammy- Because I didn't know how I would respond to stims on DHEA, I stopped all supplements when I got AF. I started stims on CD2. I think as long as you stop before ER you're ok.

Kynlee - I missed the fall! OMG girl you OK??? Sounds like you are doing alright.....ice it & keep it elevated that should help & only take tylenol if the pain is unbearable. As far as being pregnant or not...GIRL YOU ARE PREGNANT! SILLY..... :mrgreen:

Tammy - Nice follie report....looks like the DHEA is working it's magic :D I get the clothes thing I have boxes of Em's clothes that I am hanging on to....can't bare to get rid of......that is tough but way to up your karmic savings account!

Anton - WOOHOO one day earlier BETA...YAY!!! That is so close, my second BETA is tomorrow I am getting excited to hear the wonderful numbers I will be receiving....

Kbillsy - If you test tomorrow just take it with a grain of salt......

Greekchick - Take full advantage of your DH pampering you!!!

Sunshine - Congrats on the interview sounds perfect!!!!!!

Katie: I have everything crossed for a great beta today!! :D :D

Greekchick: Hang in there with boring bedrest...not much longer and for such an awesome cause.

Anton: 2/29!!! My u/s date!! Getting so close....your BFP day. I can't wait! :D Enjoy your weekend.

Tammy: Woohoo for AF getting here and you getting things moving. 13 is awesome, but so are we "over 40" on this board... :wink: I stopped the DHEA during stimming because I don't think it could "help" anymore with the current cycle. I also remember Rio saying she ovulated through it, and I just didn't want to take any chances once everything was MOVING/growing, etc. But that was just my opinion and thoughts, not from any medical advice. I did continued with COQ10 though until ER.

Carol: Where are you? Hope all is ok. :(

Rio: Happy (almost) birthday!! Hope that you have a wonderful Birthday weekend ahead!

AFM: Trying to stay sane in my 2ww to u/s. Trying very hard-with limited success-not to worry and stress myself. Trying to remain positive and hopeful. Will do my best to keep busy this weekend...usually I want weekends to go slowly, but this time I want it to speed by so I can get to that Tuesday u/s!

Everyone have a great Friday!

Hi everyone! :D

I hope everyone is doing great today either brewing some eggs, growing follies, growing sticky embies, growing babies or just waiting for their new winning cycle to start!! :D

Rio- I was surprised too when my RE told me to go to a professional to get those progesterone shots! But hey! I couldn't questioned him! :wink: How is your little bean doing? any news on your side? :D Image

Sunshine- We get hooked too with my DH on a cit-com and we just have to finish it in order to move on to the next. We are huge funs of DEXTER and we are waiting for the new episodes to come out! :D

Tammy- Yay!! for AF coming! we are back in business my friend! :D ...Awesome follies report! I am proud of you! :wink: Image

Katieb- How was your beta today! Can't wait to see those sky high numbers for you!! :D Image

Greekchick- Hang in there PUPO girl! :D Image

Margi- How's everything going in la la land mama! :D I can picture you glowing from happiness!!! :D..yay for same day of my beta day and your first u/s!!! i hope you will bring me luck!! Image

Leorira- I hope everything is doing great with you and your little beans! You are in my prayers! :D Image

AFM- No spotting today!!! Yay! :D ...I believe this is good? :roll: even though yesterday the nurse told me that this spotting might come and go during the first month or just don't come again. so I guess so far so good! :D ...my DH is playing with my hormones big time! I seem to find a hard time convincing him that we should take this spotting as a good sign. He is SOOO negative!!!! You all know how much of a positive person I am....he is exactly the opposite!! on top of being missbelieved he read this statistic report on blastocysts transfer and succees rates...the success rate of a BFP is 65% per blastocyst (exactly what my RE told us the day of the transfer) which is very good and was realy glas about this BUT the statistics go and a step further ...successfull birth after transfering blasts is 50% . and he goes " Why only 50%! does this mean even if we get pregnant we have only 50% of making the whole 9 months!! ...and all day I've been trying to convince hi that even a normal pregnancy can lead to m/c no one knows what is going to happen and we should take a day at a time! He just can't be happy or positive about this cycle. I know that in a way he is right not be happy yet since we don't know if we are pregnant or not but still I cant understand the negativity. Boy! this is messing big time with my PMA! ...it was a sunny day today so we went for a walk and sat at a cafe under the sun ( i had fresh juice) and he goes ...if you are so positive almost sure that this is BFP then why not we go home and take that hpt! I wanted to fall of the chair!...or turn it over his head instead! :lol: I told him that I not sure at all if this is a BFP and only the beta will tell us. and if we take a hpt now it could be negative and its going to kill him mostly b/c I know (i told him many times but he just find it very difficult to believe that it can still be a positive after...) that even if its negative it can still be a positive on beta day. well, I ended the converstation by telling him that we are not going to talk about it, debate actually, until beta day. and so we are back to normal conversation again! Thank God!! my nerves are like...I honestly don't recognise me! I better be pregnant so that I can have an excuse for being such a *****! :lol:

Baby dust to us all and tons of sticky vibes for everyone!!!! :D Image

Phew....what a morning so far, we are in the midst of huge spring storm and as we got in the car to go to the city to the clinic the storm came in full force....no big deal we are mountain people we are used to this.....hahahaha no not this we slid all over the freeway, hydro-planed twice and almost got hit by two out of control cars!!! So I screamed get off and lets just go home!!! So we get off freeway & guess what thats right, ran straight into a huge snow bank....UGH....everybody & everything all OK so we headed home, called RE on the way they called blood order into hospital up here so we just got home from that it will be about an hour so I will update as soon as I know after my morning I think I deserve some really good news!!! Today is 14dpo so they really don't like to BETA test until 17dpo (12dpt) so they are just hoping for some doubling but not anything grand today...Monday is the big day....So we wait I will let you know just as soon as I do ladies :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

GreekChick - It is a personal decision, just take it easy and don't over do anything and you should be OK....I have a two year old that I am constantly picking up & playing with all day that can't be helped and everything is Ok with me so far but keeping my fingers crossed! :lol:

Greek Chick - I've done complete bed rest (sometimes BFN, sometimes BFP) as well as no bed rest (also sometimes BFN and sometimes BFP). To me, it doesn't seem like it matters. In any case, you are a few days past transfer, you should be fine.

Katie - not sure if I wished you a HUGE CONGRATS! :D yay! --- I'm sorry that you had so much trouble getting to your blood test this morning. I was in minor fender bender once while pregnant and freaked out - but everything was fine. Let us know what your numbers are!

Anton - spotting could be fine, or it could be bad - there is no way to know! Just try to keep up that positive attitude! I'm sorry you have to go in everyday for the injection - can you ask the nurse to show you how to do it to yourself?

Margi - this Tuesday is your u/s? That's so soon! I'm so excited for you!

AFM - sorry I've been MIA. I'vebeen really stressing about this pregnancy. I'm so nervous for the u/s on Sunday. This is exactly when the last pregnancy went wrong.... I really hope I have good news. 36 hours or so until my scan. DH and I are fighting a lot over stupid things. I think we are just both soooo stressed out....

Katie - what a scare! Hopefully Monday will bring you awesome news!!! Let us know!

Anton - glad you talked to DH a bit and don't worry about being bitchy just blame it all on hormones my dear ;) I love Dexter too! Although that season finalle with his wife freaked me out! You are pregnant so enjoy and wait for your beta confirmation!

Margi - no worrying my friend you will have great news on Tuesday! Just a matter of how many!

Tammy - you can continue on DHEA but what I would do is not do the BCP, I ovulated on BCP with DHEA so I got postponed a month, then my RE did a no BCP cycle and right after I ovulated and stayed on DHEA she wanted me to, so on Cycle day 2 after AF on no BCP I started stimms and per RE stayed on DHEA 75 mg up to 3 days before ER. My response was sooo much better! Congrats on AFC number!!!!

AFM - enjoying my last day as a 39 yo, yickes and tomorrow celebrating my 10th anniversary of my 30th birthday!!!! :)

Hi All - Well it rose but not enough from 32 to 41 so I am sure it is not a viable pregnancy at this point.....I can find no information on a slow rise continuing till birth mostly they just absorb back into the body....we are bummed but waiting for RE to call...he will tell us to test again I am sure.......but we have to decide what we want to do now we told ourselves this was it not going to try again.....and we might stick with that.... :cry: :cry: I guess god does not want to grant me this....we need to go on and live our lives and be happy with our beautiful little miracle girl Emilee.....

Katieb -- I'm so so sorry. I was really hoping and praying for a doubling for you. You sound so strong in your post. Hug that little girl of yours and take your time deciding what is your next steps. :(
