klinger - thank you so much! I'm hoping that I am not imaging things...the line was faint, but as i look at it now, it is definately there, just very light.  But, from all of the POAS'ers on the board that have posted results, i think it looks a lot like other very early tests. DH thinks I'm crazy!  

Ninde - I know! there is no way that I am going to be able to wait until wednesday. that's a century away! 

Kay - I admire your self control. I say that everytime, nope, don't POAS, don't do it...but then, here I am, two days before my first beta POAS! I don't really have any symptoms either. I've had a headache for the past two days, but we're spending the weekend with the inlaws, so that's bound to happen. Man, they just talk and talk. We have a little bunk house on the property that we stay in, so I sneak away when I just need space. It's hard to spend the whole day just listening to them drone on!

Tiger - Hah! We happened to spend the day with the ILs too! And though I didn't get a headache (this time around) I felt even more bloated when we left and my mood has gotten worse. Spending time with them is not my way of keeping my feelings at bay :?

Tiger - Congrats!!

Leora - Don't give up hope! Did you meet with your doctor?

AFM - Ladies, trigger tonight! :P I decided to go ahead, if I develop OHSS again, I will freeze the embryos. At least this clinic does vitrification instead of the old method of freezing embryos like my other clinic does.
Egg retrieval monday at 11:30 am, kind of late because my doctor has a surgery to do earlier. Its ok I will just wake up late. The problem will be not be able to eat or drink water. I get crazy without water, I always have a bottle with me, even in my bedroom (all because I had bad UTI in the past). Anyways ladies, pls pray for my retrieval and no OHSS again!!

I forgot to mention, my E2 level today is 3400.
I have 8 follicles in my left ovary and 11 follicles in my right ovary. Much better compared to 20+ in each ovary with my first IVF!

Tiger – YAY!!! Congrats on the BFP on the HPT!!! I can’t believe they will not give you your first beta that is ridiculous!!!

Pocos – Are you feeling better? I know nothing about the insurance thing; mine doesn’t cover anything after the diagnostic part. Awesome you are triggering tonight and everything sounds great! Good luck with your ER!

LauraN – Sounds like you are moving right along nicely.

Ninde – Sorry your aren’t feeling well again, but yay for starting down regulation :)

Kay- I am doing well. It is going to be a loooooong 10 days until my u/s!!! I wouldn’t stress over the no symptoms things, lots of people have none and get a BFP! It does suck you are feeling that bloated though.

Kynlee- Good luck with your 3rd beta!!! Can’t wait to see the digits!!!

Pocos- what r u triggering with? What is re saying about preventing ohss? Drink gatorade, have soup, v8 even if you're feeling ok. I know how u feel ohss sucks! I had to have the fluid actually drained when I had it! Don't forget to Weigh yourself before ER then daily for a while to make sure you are not gaining too much weight per day!

Tortilla- I'm so sorry for your bfn. Sending hugs!!!

Leora- I'm sorry you are going through this. I am sending you lots of strength and hope for positive news.

Tia- I'm sorry for the BFN.

Had the hysteroscopy yesterday. All is good to start on time. We won't be delayed. Dr sent some tissue off to the lab but isn't concerned about anything. I slept a ton yesterday and we have been busy today.

MadameX - I am feeling a little better after having some fresh pineapple+mint juice. I peed a lot after that. I guess I have some fluid around my ovaries already, thats why my belly is so big and I am so uncomfortable. After all the injections I decided to go ahead with the ER, if I get hiperstimulated again, I will freeze the embryos.

Tortilla - Sorry for your BFN. :( Hope you try to relax a bit and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Alwaysangel - Thanks for the typs!! I bought a ton of Gatorade and salty soups! I will trigger with Ovidrel. I triggered with Pregnyl in my fist IVF. I was reading that Ovidrel has a smaller dosage than Pregnyl, which makes me more confortable. I cant trigger with the Lupron because I was using lupron for suppression. But I didnt want to do the ganirelix protocol again because although I had a ton of follicles (40+) I had only 3 mature eggs!! I am hoping the lupron protocol gives me better eggs. I have 19 follicles this time.

Ninde - Thank you!

blueyedreamer - tha's great news!

AFM - I am here waiting to give myself the trigger shot at 12:00 am. I am worried about OHSS but decided to go ahead, after all those needles, after all the waking up early for baseline... The doctor is not so concerned because the E2 is not too high (3400). If I guess some mature good eggs this time, even OHSS will be worth. What made me really mad is that in my first cycle, I went through all that pain for only 3 mature eggs!! and I was 28 back then. I dont understand.... The doctor blamed my eggs.. Well, lets see. Now that I am with a different doctor/clinic/protocol, I will find out if it was my eggs or the protocol that were bad,...
