Moorebaby -- THANK YOU for checking on me!!!

I am officially PUPO with Twin GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO TEAM PINK!!!!!! Image

Image

Out of my 17 eggs that made it to day 5 only 4 were genetically perfect embies!!! 2 girls, and 2 boys :mrgreen: Unfortunately my two boys stopped progressing after PGD was performed and arrested this morning *tears*. So I have no embies on ice.

On the bright side, I have two genetically PERFECT twin girls snuggled in their Mommy right now! Image

Beta #1 will be on 4-20 & Beta # 2 on 4-22

Please continue the prayers, they are working!!!!

Back for personals tomorrow. Good luck to all the ER/ET's!!

I cannot believe that just happened, I had all the personals and update typed and hit post only to see nothing post! :o Everything vanished right before me oh well I'll try to regroup and figure out what I originally said...

Vicky,
This board never sleeps, but this week is going to be the busiest I've ever seen it here! All the golden eggs and the Easter bunny is still on his way! I won't ask you what your trip entails as your back-up plan since I know you'll going to already be pretty preoccupied. :D

Blaqdymum,
Awesome report on having 6 healthy embies, that is wonderful news! :D

Smoon,
Sending some thoughts your way for a smooth night of injections, and remember so many are here to answer any questions that you may have along the way. I have learned it's not best to wait until the last second to give them though, in case you do have questions, but we live and learn everyday! :)

kbillsy,
Hopefully the Estrogen levels will keep on increasing, I know the progesterone will make a difference too, post ET. Glad your dh will be able to be with you during the upcoming procedure. It meant so much to me this morning when mine left work unexpectively and came back by to see me, it was a nice surprise and the support meant so much to me! :D

MooreBaby,
Great report on your numbers and I cannot wait to hear how ER goes on Friday! :D

JenMink,
Twin Girls sounds exciting and I may later PM a question :?: about PDG, but for now let's enjoy being PUPO!

Good Luck Tomorrow for ER: Mom4sure, Heather and Michelle!!!!
Indeed A very egg-citing week on our Spring Board! :D :D :D

AFM: IUI went over very well! I got to see dh's swimmers under the microcope, I think that was dh's moment of glory, lol but it was neat viewing them and knowing that there were ALOT of healthy looking ones! Also my lining was between an 8 and 9, so it was better than the 6 (last week). :D She warmed up the spec before inserting and the clamp was a little uncomfortable but tolerated it and tried to stay focused on visualizing his swimmers reaching the egg(s). Will go back on 4/26 for my beta, but no poas, because they only stress me out. I'm going to try to enjoy THE moment. Work was alot of fun, very laidback, my manager cracks me up, :lol: told me she hadn't even checked my references yet and decided that she just liked me enough to hire me on. Haha and she really has no idea what she has gotten herself into! I think it's going to be good just to give me something to distract my mind from insanity and obsessing too much over tcc. ~Sunshine1576~

Pretty sure I am off for the rest of the week. My principal let me put in for 2 personal days for tomorrow and thursday, and she know I will likely be calling out on friday. Little worried about piggy backing 3 days onto vaca, but I can get notes if necessary. My immediate principal is being awesome about this! RE said to plan for at least 2 days b/c he expects a "difficult retrieval." I facebooked you, I definitely want to do coffee next week! :D

Sunshine1576 ~ men are so funny when it comes to their manhood. Congratulations you are PUPO :D

JenMink55 ~ science is so amazing. You are PUPO with twin girls. I see a lot of pink in your future. Congratulations!!!

DALLAS ~ Glad that everything is right on schedule.

LYD10 ~ Fingers crossed beta will be zero next week and AF comes promptly.

vicky1707 ~ Try to keep up the PMA. After my last ET I asked the doctor if I should order my meds, she said let’s wait to see if it worked first and we were pg with our little boy. You are PUPO; enjoy it.

Michele ~ Good luck with the ER tomorrow. You are right in that you need to take care of yourself and babies.

Moorebaby ~ Yay for triggering tomorrow. Hope all goes well with your SnS in the morning.

Blaqdymun ~ Congratulations on the great fertilization report :D

Kbillsy ~ Keep us updated on your u/s Thursday. Hope your ER is on Saturday.

AFM ~ Had my ER this morning and we have 4 eggs from 5 follies. We are doing icsi, hoping all fertilize and thrive, we’ll find out more tomorrow. We already decided that if all make it we will ask to have all transferred.

Sending lots of Baby Dust and PMA to everyone.

Ok I can’t sleep, just can’t stop thinking about what the fertilization report will be tomorrow and I have to get up early for work in the morning. Michele you were smart to take off the days b/w ER and ET. I forgot how stressful they were. And of course I didn’t sleep last night either worrying about how many eggs we would get. So I decided to make myself useful and do some laundry. I think I have a lot of sleepless nights in my future. If this pattern continues I should have a pretty clean house by the end of 2WW.

Hi Guys

Back from ER and am not too good. Although we had lots of follicles. We only got 2 eggs :cry: . I am so sad, and dont know how that can happen. I suspect i ovulated before my ER but my RE says it happens sometimes. I am trying hard NOT to dwell on what went wrong coz its done now.

Now i am waiting for tomorrow to hear if they fertilised and if they do, then we are going for a 3dt.

Its in God's hands now and i am praying for good news. I probably wont get any sleep today.

Please pray for me.

Baby dust to everyone
