Nacy,
I'm sorry your injection didn't go well. What happened? Here's hoping the rest go very smoothly.
My DH did the injection for me and we had a small misunderstanding when prepare the shots. As a result, it was hard for my DH to handle the syringe due to the high pressure in the syringe (too much solution); I was worried about contamination and had a lot of pains during the injection.
Something like this has happened in the beginning of every stimuation we had. We did not learn the mistake at all. I was so upset that I haven't talked to him since the injection... I hope it will go better tonight.

nwquiz ~ Thanks for asking, I am hangning in there very worried still. How are you doing, what date is your u/s.

Kerri ~ I did all of my own injections, think it is easier that way.

15 eggs is great. I got 12 on my first cycle... 10 were mature, 8 fertilized. Only 2 made it to blastocysts. Just got a positive pregnancy test a few days ago. So excited. It's been a long 2 years of trying.

Good luck to you.

Thanks ladies for all the encouragement (and keep crashing Margi!!!). Today is 5dp2dt and I am OUT of crazytown because I am nauseous as heck. Of course I am considering it to be a sign that all three embies made it through my warm bath! ;-) Triplets would probably be the only way I would be creating enough HCG to make me sick since I they only would have implanted in the last 2 days or so. Lol. My PMA is back.

I am feeling better stress wise too. I just turned my "out of office" message on in my work email for a whole two weeks and tomorrow I get on a plane to South Carolina. Even though it is work, its a two week specialized certification program where I will be with interesting people from nearly every competitor in our industry. It is sure to be VERY distracting and a lot of fun. I am a total nerd, so I will love it.

To answer the POAS question... Not a chance. And get this...

My beta on the 19th is the night that CEOs and division leaders from all over the country fly into the school I am attending to take their employees to dinner. I have class from 8 to 6 then get to go hob nob with my boss's boss and some other mucky mucks. Sometime in the day I need to find a lab and take the test (no clue how I am going to do that!). Given that this dinner is just me, company leadership, and a couple other people it is one of those "make or break" career situations. So... I have decided to ask my clinic to call me with the results on the 20th. That way if by some crazy, small, nearly impossible chance its a BFN I don't lose my job for getting drunk and crying all over the Head of Retail.

How is that for strength???

Deftones- 15 is AWESOME!!!!!!!

Jayne- as I mentioned on the other thread, your BFP inspires me since you took a bath during your 2ww. :-) You are my new best friend. Ha ha. Welcome and congrats.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I read lots of comments during my 2ww for comfort but never got around to posting. My life is a little crazy right now. I have a 3 year old boy (which we had no problem conceiving so we were confused by our 2 year struggle) and a mom that lives with me with ovarian cancer. And I'm a nurse.

I think the thing that was most comforting to me during my wait were the comments about the cramping. I was so discouraged because I had such bad cramps. I'm happy to say it was probably just implantation because now they have gone away.

I think it may be twins because I'm having way more symptoms than I did with my son. However, they may just be all of the hormones or maybe just a girl...

We did gender selection with the sperm so our chance of a girl is 73% instead of 50-50.

And yes, I love baths. I went swimming too.

I am still fighting this nasty cold. It is driving me crazy!!! My mom is here from out of town visiting, so I am trying to feel as good as possible, to hang out with her. My cold has kinda turned into bronchitis, I am obsessed with trying not to cough..... I am scared that I will dislodge my little one(s) out of their sticky little home!!!

Dallas- I know how you feel! On my first FET I was sick as dog. Trust me, I did all the research you would ever need to reassure you. Sneezing. Coughing, Laughing are all okay. :) Especially at this point. Don't worry. Hope you feel better soon.

I just lifted a 66 pound bag twice. Two weeks worth of stuff and there was no way around it. Now relaxing and waiting for my flight while sending positive vibes to my abdomen. Whatever will be will be.

Wishingandhoping- I've been wanting to reach put to you and keep forgetting. What a scary thing that was. Glad you are okay and that you found an alternative (albeit an unpleasant one!!!)

Deftones- thinking about you and the feet report!

Dallas - I also had a nasty cough the week of my Betas. I couldn't remember the last time I have gotten sick, and sure enough I get my BFP and come down with a persistent cough and sore throat. All I could think was perfect timing body, thanks :) But like Bliss said, the little ones are safe in their new home. I also did a ton of research and every where I went said no harm will come to the baby by you coughing.

Hi everyone!

margi- thank you so much for believing in my FET for a BFP! :D I loved your story with DH not being there on FET day! I quess once I got our embies who needs him! :lol: :wink: He might as well be out of the country :lol: It will be a funny story to tell our children!...guys, your daddy wasn't there when you were conceived :lol: I will go with your idea and take something of his with me...his underware will be more appropriate I guess!!!...I am joking! :lol: Image

Nicksgam- Yes my best friend will be there with me isntead and she is excited! I am the godmother of her older son (6yr old) and she is excited to be present when i get my babies home :D Yes my lining is good! :D Is always 11mm. So I would be dissapointed if this time was less. From your mouth to God's ears that this will be my BFP! :D

Nwquiz- I've read to my DH what you wrote me about him being in class and thinking of us and he said of course! this is exactly what he is going to do! :D Thank you for all your support! I am looking forward in joining you in the preggers club! :wink: Image

Kerri- I hope the injection went better tonight! :D I am sorry again for having such a bad experience with the injection bit I don't think you get condaminated from just "too much solution" So relax! :D My RE told me in previous cycles that while disolving 3 vials of powder I should only use one vial of liquid. ...we all have stories simillar to this one and we will be laughing with them while telling them one day to our children (maybe) With some of them even if at that time when they are happening we got panicked from ignorance later on they seem so funny! trust me! :D :wink: you'll be laughing with your DH some day about this! :D Image

Deftonesmo- Yay! for 15 eggs!!! Can't wait to hear that fert report!! I am happy for you! :D Image

Dallas- I am sorry you have got that cold dear and I wish you a quick recovery so that you can enjoy your pregnancy! :D I am sure your little ones are doing just fine!

jbella- no problem dear I got it! :wink: ...Spotting can mean a million things! during my last cycle i had spotting and ended up in BFN. other get a BFP while spotting and other have no spotting at all ending either BFP or a BFN!! every woman is defferent! relax! U are going to be fine! :D you are getting that BFP no matter what! :wink:
