Jay, lots of pma coming your way! Sometimes people do spot after ET. This sounds like what you are experiencing. I also felt exactly like af was coming with all of my normal symptoms, and I got a BFP! Keep your head up :D :D :D

AJ - sorry to be so dumb. I asked about your scan right after you had posted your results :oops: 20 follies is FANTASTIC! You must be feeling very swollen, but very happy. :D

Debra - so sorry about the over-fertilization. I don't think I've heard of that until now. You sound like you are taking it well, although something tells me you are putting on a brave face. The odds of this happening have got to be as low (if not lower) than the odds of your ectopic preg last round :evil: Not fair! See.... you were too calm about it, so now I feel the need to sound off, sorry. :oops: Also, I didn't know they could mix fresh with frozen in a transfer. In fact, my clinic told me "no" to that when I asked. Hmmmm. Well, in any case, I'm glad you have enough all together to put back 3. You are in my thoughts often these days. I truly pray for your success, Debra! Good luck tomorrow for ET!!!

And happy to see so many in the 2ww! Jay, Colleen, Sue, Judy!!! I'm jealous, but in a good way. :wink:

hi all-

jay- hi there... i think i;ve got the same thing you do.... mine were transfered sunday, and i have the lower back and calf pain/cramps also.... AF signs.. the discharge i was told was from the ET, and not to worry, as long as it's not bright red.... i'm trying not to look into it too much, but my thoughts chnge every minute!! when is your test date???

debra- sorry about the over fertilization. THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!.. i hope that the embies out of frozen are great, and you ET goes well tomorrow.. .i'll be praying for you!!! you probably don't want to hear it, but it does only take one!!! best of luck dear.

aj- i do not think that you will ovualte too earily... mine were the same sizes as yours and we did the EC the same number of days after that your is planned... good luck!!! i think that the trigger med is what will make you ovulate, and they give that to you 35-36 hours before the EC.... so hang in there, to too much further!!!

randa- have lots of fun the next few months :wink: :wink: ... and enjoyt yourself!!!! great news on the frozen, maybe you'll skip the 2WW, cuz you'll do it all naturaly... wishing you tons of luck!!

Hello again Septembies!

Sue e / Aj

I had a scan on Tues - 4 follies on my right and 3 on my left - only problem is that one ovary is too high .....fingers crossed it drops by friday - my next scan - looking likely for EC early next week.

Debra - best of luck :) Hope things go well for you.....and to everyone else.

Debra- YAY!!! Congratulations on your super-healthy embies!!! :D :D
5 and 8 cell is a wonderful start! Can't believe you were well enough to post so soon, but so glad you did, as you've been on my mind all morning.

Hugs to you, Sweetie! I'm thinking... TWINS! :D

Sarah- I have to say that's the first time I've heard that an ovary can be too high. I've heard of them being high on one side or the other and they have to "work" a lot to get to it, but TOO high for them to get to? Is that what you are saying? In any case, 4 and 3 are a good count! Congratulations! :D

Jay- you crack me up! I can feel your frustration with the rest coming through the page! :lol: I haven't had the privilege of going through the 2ww yet, but I'm sure it has got to be an overwhelming bore mixed with overwhelming anxiety - not the best combo. Hang in there!

Oh! And Jay and Colleen, about the calf cramps - the only time I've ever had those in my life was when I was PREGNANT with my DDs!!!! :D They would come on in the middle of the night and were evil amounts of pain! :evil: So sorry, but they mean a good thing is happening to you. :D

Question? Now that September is over, does this group move to another thread? Maybe you all are already chatting on an Oct thread that I am unaware of? :oops: Maybe we can be Septembies forever? :shock:
Just asking.

God Bless!

Hi there,

Just wanted to let you know that I got a BFP today! :D

We are so thrilled and excited.

I am REALLY grateful to you all for your support. THANK YOU.

Randa - in response to your question, I think that we will always be Sept-embies ! :D


Thinking of you all and hoping for lots more BFPs!
