Finally not feeling as sleepy!

Moorebaby 9 and a 64% fertility rate, that is great!!!! I am praying for your embies to grow like wild flowers!

Heather YEAH for day 5!!! We both got a lot of eggs! :)

Margi Thanks for the info on OHSS. RE told my husband that I would probably not get a fresh transfer. Everything looks good on paper, however, my belly is bloated. I am not uncomfortable by any means and I can certainly lay down and set without discomfort. I lost 3 pounds after retrieval/fluid drain and gained 2 pounds back and have been gaining .2 pounds a day. The nurse (whom I have never met) was pretty rude this morning. She asked for the numbers and I gave them to her! As if I was lying! UGH. I completely agree with you that we should tell them everything. I surely would not want to end up in the hospital! Thanks again for all your info. Fingers crossed there will be no fluid on Tuesday!! :)
FET #1, #2 - M/C
FET #3 - @ 7 weeks
FET # 4 - Canceled. Hysoroscopy and DnC
FET# 5 - coming soon! November 2012 or so.

nwquiz- Thank you! Great results from today's SnS!

akdelp- Thanks! I hope they do, too! I've got everything crossed for you that Tuesday's ET happens. Keep us posted.

LYD- Thank you!

fruit- Thank you! just 4 more sleeps & you'll be seeing that 2nd line!

margi- No, the nurse didn't have any specific information about the embryos. I'm going to assume they're 4-cells since that is where they should be for 2 days after retrieval. I'm also assuming there is little fragmenation. I'm just guessing...I've never had a 5dt, so I don't really know what the general requirements are for embryos to make an ET a 5dt. I do feel great today, so I don't think OHSS is a concern for me...phew!

Tammy- Great to hear from you!!! That is totally a 2nd line! Go get your beta done girl!!!

Jen- Sounds like great signs to me! Can't wait to hear about your BFP!

faithful- Thank you! What's the estmimated date of your FET?

Heather- Your ER story is awful....you poor thing! Shame on the doctor doing the procedure! I'm so glad that your doctor will be there for your ET..you need to be as calm as possible when your babies come back to you. Good luck tomorrow! You're almost PUPO!

blair- Woohoo!!! Congrats!!! Can't wait to hear tomorrow 2nd beta!

cherry- Good luck tomorrow! Keep us updated on your 2nd beta!

kbillsy- How are you feeling? Did you get your fert report?

DALLAS- Did your donor start her stims yesterday?

Heidi- Good luck on tomorrow's SnS!

Thanks for the nice update Anton and know you are just loving the foot massage. Bath and Body Works, "body butter" is THE best for massages, it will make you melt!

Last night instead of eatting in front of the television watching our usual Scrub's show, I prepared a nice candlelight dinner...Went out to my rose garden to cut some flowers...I used a wine glass for the vase and laid a small mirror underneath and placed tea-light candles around the centerpiece. It was quite beautiful, of course while I'm eatting thought I should of cutted some rosemary and sprinkled it around the centerpeice. lol it's those little touches that makes it all worth it. Anyway I turned up some jazz with John Coltrane playing and we had grilled bbq porkchops, a toss salad, green beans and cajun rice. I'm all about spiced everything, Olive Garden has always been a fav and would volunteer to work there just to learn all their secret recipes! But last night was certainly a nice break from routine. :D :D :D

AFM: No good news to report yet, but being optimistic. :)

I cant believe they didnt knock you out! omg i would be so scared. i hope the pain goes away soon. try to rest as much as possible, and try a heating pad! are you on spring break next week? i know alot of schools are off next week around here, my DH has the next week off. If you have the week off then that is perfect timing to relax and let those lil guys snuggle in. I have everything crossed for your fert report. will you find out tomorrow?
I love ya girl, and know that i am always here for you!!! :D :D

***much love always***
Awe...Franny! I think about you often! Yes, I'm on spring break this week, so the timing is perfect! I'm so nervous as they called to tell me my ET is going to be a 5dt! That has never even been a consideration for us, so it's very surreal. I hope nothing bad happens to my little babies before they come back to their momma. Ugh, if it's not 1 thing, it's another...always worried about something!

So, how are you? I miss you!

Hey Ladies....

Anton: Thanks but it's (3) embies... I am positive I will become a mommy also.

I must say, I haven't felt any pain or differences really. No cramping or back aches. I had no spotting and very lil discomfort. I am taking that as a good sign. After all, I didn't feel any different when I became prego with my 1st child. I have literally been in bed 85% of the day, Since Friday. BESIDES SHOWERS! I will get up and go outside tomorrow.

DH has been great, my bedroom is on the 2nd floor so he's been running up & down to spare me any unnecessary trips.

I FORGOT who mentioned POAS addiction but.... I too will be poas. I think I will wait till Friday.... If I can :oops:
