Heather: Fabulous report!! How many are you going to transfer? Looks like you'll have lots to freeze as well for siblings later. :D :D Make sure you are resting up and drinking Gatorade.

Sorry I fell off the boards for awhile- we took a vacation to california last week and just got back in town late thursday night. I tested on monday (6dp5dt) and got a positive in the middle of the afternoon so I was thrilled. I had my first beta yesterday (10p5dt) and it was 667! I go back monday for a repeat beta so hoping that those numbers continue to double.

moorebaby wrote:Good morning ladies! Well, we just got our fert report & I'm extremely pleased w/ it. Out of the 14 mature eggs, 9 fertilized!!! That is a 64% fert rate. We have NEVER had anything that high. It's always been right around 25%. I know we have many more hurdles to face, but this makes me happy. The embryology lab will call again tomorrow to let me know how the 9 are doing & whether my ET will be a 3dt or a 5dt. We've never even had that option, so this is all very surreal.

Please pray that our 9 embabies continue to grow & divide!!! Your thoughts & prayers really mean a lot!
I am so happy for you! This is a sign of great things to come. I pray your embies continue to thrive.

Blairwitch, Did you leave your heart in San Fran? I know I always do everytime we visit California! Simply gorgeous and Nappa Valley will take your breath away...There is sooo much fun (not to mention BFPs) going on in California, what is up with that? Many of us will be booking and take a ride on that famous cable car. Cannot wait to hear more about your trip!

Anyway more than anything, I wanted to personally send you CONGRATULATIONS on yourImage

afm- thanks for all the well wishes on my fert report! It means so much to have people that really understand and care and to share with since my husband cant be here to share this with me. I do have a question ladies, how can you tell the difference between your abdomen swelling from your ovaries becoming enlarged from them retrieving 37 eggs and cysts growing on them to knowing if its OHSS?

Thanks! I'm being cautiously optimistic! I'm praying for you too girl!

I'm actually having the same issue. You obviously got way more eggs than I did, but my abdomen is huge! My ovaries are ok; meaning they don't feel painful (they did yesterday, but the uncomfortbaleness has definitely subsided). However, my abdomen is very big...I look 4 months preggo! Dh thought it was cute! Hopefully, it's just a sign of what's to come for us :mrgreen: :wink:
ME: 32
DH: 38 (Severe MF)

IVF 1: BFP...M/C
IVF 2-5: BFN
IVF 6: BFP...it's twins!!

A strong, positive attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.

This afternoon, I've been helping dh with the garden out back, but been periodically taking breaks and he could tell I don't feel well. Got acid reflux so now I'm back inside...Probably too much acidity, but all I really did for lunch was have a Healthy Choice meal, which tasted bland so I added Ranch dressing to the chicken and pasta, drank water with it. Don't know about that, but I am going to take it easy the rest of the afternoon. Anyway, I did learn something this week I wanted to share with you, For a yeast infection the best natural remedy is yogurt. Many of you probably already knew that, but just in case I wanted to share! :mrgreen:

Everyone have an uneventful weekend and we look forward to seeing a BFP coming soon with you!
