YAY!!!! Its official! I will be transferring on Mother's Day. Lining looked a little thin but good for CD10 at 7.5. I started estrace tonight and I trigger tomorrow night. Ladies...this is going to be the one! Thanks for all your prayers and support. I am so excited to celebrate the first of many Mom's Days to come. :-)

Can't wait to hear about the ultrasounds tomorrow ladies. You both are going to have beautiful, healthy, and strong heartbeats.

Bliss- how exciting!!! I am so glad things are looking great for this cycle. I think transferring on Mother's Day (and my birthday) is very appropriate given the situation. You get to bring home your baby on the day everyone celebrates moms. Congrats again- you will be PUPo in only a few days. This is definitely the one for you! Don't forget you'll have to PM me your address so I can send your blue and white onesie once you get that BFP! I'm so excited for you!

Well - just a quick update since I'm on my phone. Ultrasound went great. There were 2 sacs both with healthy babies. After further investigation one of the sacs actually contained identical twins. Overwhelming as is it looks like as of now we are expecting triplets (with identical twins). He said 25% of the time 1 or more will reabsorb but we will have to wait 2 weeks before we have a little better idea. Will post again later when the shock wears off.

blair - OMG I am so happy for you. You were right on the $ with saying you felt it was more than 1.
My next u/s is May 17 so it looks like our appts might be kind of close together. But, I'm sure you'll go more frequently than me since they'll want to keep a close eye on all those babies. I have a very dear friend that had triplets after a frozen cycle where 3 were transferred, all healthy.
AFM- 1 little one still in place; saw heart beat again and sack is slowely getting smaller. Measuring at 8 weeks.

Good luck to all.

Skatie- Glad to hear that things are still looking good for your little one. All that worrying for nothing. I think we may have very similar appointments since next time its only a day off. After I go back on the 18th is all 3 are still looking good I think my RE will release me to an OB. Even though I highly doubt my regular OBYGN does triplet pregnancies I may have to look into finding a high risk OB.

AFM- Thanks for all the congrats. Its still somewhat shocking everytime I look at the ultrasound pic and see all three of those little babies. Just seeing the little fluttering of their hearts was such a relief. Even though we obviously have a very long road ahead of us we made it to the next little milestone which is a step in the right direction. Hoping to have 3 very healthy babies...probably sometime in november since 36 wks is about as far as you can go with 3.

Blair!!!! How exciting!!!! Triplets. Oh man that's a scary prospect! Congrats! Can't wait to hear about you bringing those babies home!!!! Please keep us updated!

Bliss Mothers Day transfer is great!!! Do you trigger with a FET? My clinic doesn't. Hmmmmm. I wonder why or why not. Just estrogen then they add progesterone.

As for me, thankfully I'm super busy with my schooling but of course still driving myself crazy with pregnant or not. I have no idea if it worked. I've had nausea on and off and today had crazy heartburn which I haven't had in a very long time. But no cramping. No implantation spotting. Breasts are tender but they always are on the hormones. Trying decide when to run a beta and/or POAS. Being in the midwifery world my close friend is a midwife and she said she'd run a stat HCG anytime I wanted. So I could do that Friday or Sat or Sun. Clinic wants me in on Monday for my beta. Trying to decide if I should do it before Mothers Day so if it's negative I can grieve and then hopefully enjoy Mothers Day with my DD. Or if I should wait til the day hoping it's positive but risking screwing up Mothers Day. I don't want to wait til Monday because then I'll get the results and hubby won't be with me. We also transferred a morula so I'm concerned about a late bloomer. What would you guys do???

Definitely going crazy in crazytown!!!

Ok I will try uploading the picture. Its not a very good picture but he wanted us to have one with all 3 in there. As you can see the top sac has a baby on the left and right, and the bottom sac has the baby in the center (its harder to see in this one).
