Prawnster, Dakota and Queenie: Best of luck this morning on your ET.
Hooray for our 3 Musketeers !!
Prawnster: That's absolutely terrific about your embies and that you'll have some frosties! I'm sure they'll implant the best ones. Lots of rest to all of you when you get home.

I just came back from the vampires for additional blood test :twisted:

MzTia: best of luck on your ER today. Lots of zzzzs after that, I know I was a zombie for hours.

Emmy: I know you'll have a terrific second beta today.
Someone else is having a beta today and for the life of me I can't remember who ...and I don't have the excuse of being pregnant .

JHarris: I joined the Aug/Sept thread, so far it's just Cocosmomma and I, so please join us! :D It should be July/Aug/Sept thread as it overlaps so much and it's nice to keep on going with the girls we already know plus all the ones that will come along.
Hopinginpa please come join us too, the more the merrier!

Neffi: how are you feeling? Keep your PMA for a BFP and figure out the best time to take your hpt, maybe enjoy your weekend and then do it so can can relax as much as possible. Fingers crossed for you. Have fun and can't wait to hear back from you.

Can't wait to hear all the good news from all of you !

Hugs

Hey Valerie!! I will make sure to jump to that thread as soon as I'm done posting this message! I obviously won't know my schedule for about another month, but I have a general idea, so I will join you over there, too! So why did they do bloodwork today? What are they looking for?

JHarris:I had a fever of 102.5 on the third day after transfer and got me really worried. I had no sore throat, no runny nose, NOTHING that would indicate that I was coming down with something. I was extremely dizzy and totally passed out for several hours !! SOOOO unlike me, I'm more like the energizer bunny. My RE doesn't know why and I suggested we'd do a immunology test (antiphospholipid antibody and Lupus anticoagulant ) to see if my body does not reject the embryos. I did not want to wait and find out the hard way so he said to put my mind at ease that we would do this test.
Maybe I'm worried for nothing but I'll feel much better once I know.

I think that girls that have this take a baby aspirin to help prevent future miscarriage. I might be wrong, but I think that's what it is.

I'll be delighted to have you amongst us on the other thread.
I'm glad I've crashed this thread because you all are terrific !!

Love

Valerie: Let me know how that test comes back. My RE puts all their patients on baby aspirin when they take the first dose of meds, and I stayed on it until I got my BFN. I's so strange how every RE is so totally different. :? But I didn't have any problems at all after transfer. I was a little tired, but I know that could be a side effect of the progesterone. I hope the test helps you out though, and eases your mind before your next cycle begins!

JHarris: See what I mean about the trampolines...
I agree that every RE is so different and for us that share so much info, it can be confusing at times. But in the end we sort it all out :D
I'll let you know about the results, but it will take 2 or 3 weeks they said.

Just got back from my first stimming U/S! I had been feeling quite crampy this morning and still not feeling great in my abdomen. When I mentioned this to the doc, she seemed surprised - anyone else felt like that after starting stims? Anyway, she thought it might be an indicator that my cyst was rearing up...luckily, the U/S indicated otherwise! My cyst is about the same (14 x21) and lots of follies were growing around it. Both ovaries looked good. I counted about 11 follies on the screen, and she measured a sampling of them...one that was 10 the rest were 5-7...which seems great for two days of stims! They'll call me later with the B/W, but t this point she said there was no indication that we should change my doses.

After reading about all of your follies, U/S, blood tests, measurements, estrogen levels...it seems so unreal that I'm now telling all of you about mine! I learned so much from all of you sharing your cycles that I feel like I totally know what's going on and what to expect. Pretty good for a rookie! Thanks again to all of you...

update - my OHSS was brutal at 530am so called my RE office and they had me come in for bloodwork/ultrasound - BFP!!!

The OHSS is likely to get worse before better but we are so blessed I can stickit out. No beta since this bloodwork was for OHSS really but I go again Sunday a.m. so hopefully I'll get a BETA then...

Hope everyone is doing well!

Congratulations IrishHope!! So happy for you. Hang in there with the OHSS. Gatorade, Gatorade, Gatorade!

Valerie: My RE said he might put me on baby aspirin, too, right before transfer. I have an implantation issue, it seems, so maybe that'll help. Along with what my AP is doing.

<b>Irishhope</b> WooHoo on the positive.:D Sorry to hear about OHSS stuff. I hope you feel better soon.

<b>Adsgirl</b> Alright on your u/s!! That is great. Grow follies grow. I am glad that your cyst isn’t bothering anything. I go tomorrow to see how my follies/cysts are doing.

<b>Imblessed</b> Way to go!! Congrats :D

<b>Prawnster</b> I like your EggBert. Hmm, I might need to look into getting his brother :) Good job on your embies. Good luck today.

<b>Ruby</b> OMG I can’t believe you gave yourself the PIO shot. :shock: I told my husband and he quickly said “oh, you can do it yourself, great” :roll:

<b> Dakota</b> I can’t believe they don’t tell you how your embies are doing. My embryologist says she calls each day with updates. My doctor doesn’t check progesterone or E2 in the 2ww. After transfer I just wait until Beta testing. Good luck today!!

<b>Queenie</b> Good luck today!! Stick embies stick!!

<b>MzTia</b> Hope they get a lot of good eggs from you.


Well, I am definitely feeling my ovaries now. Hope that is a good sign. Today is also weird weather. It is sunny and beautiful from my window but I can hear thunder. So I know that as soon as I leave anywhere it is going to be pouring down rain :roll:

Good luck all you on Friday the 13th.

IrishHope Wooo hooo Congrats. Can't wait for the Beta...hang in with OHSS.

Turtles Good luck with the stimming...so happy you're back!

Everybody is on their way...lots of babydust to all!!!

I'm on the program, getting back to normal. I still have a PIO lump 2 weeks later....anybody ever have that happen. I guess it's scar tissue..hope it goes away. They did the electroacupuncture on it and massage, so I'm hoping that breaks it up.

Irish- Congrats girl!!!

I am back from ET. We had 2 put back, they wouldnt do three because my RE's notes said 1-2, but that was prior to ER. I was a little annoyed considered they said they were "just ok". I still have 5, but three are not quite blast yet. The other two are, but they are at grade 1. He was really hesitant on giving me any info, I dont think he wanted to hurt my feelings or something? We'll there is nothing to be done, but pray and take it easy. i'll know on the 23rd!!

I am excited either way, there is always still a chance!!

queenie & prawnster. I hope all is well. Cant wait to hear from you.

Oh, and to top it off, my AP wouldnt treat me today. he said my pulse was too irratic today. R U kidding me??? Can we say Fri the 13th??

Hello ladies! Sorry I have been busy at work, so I haven't posted much, and I don't have much time for personals. But quickly:

I hope all the ETs went great today!

Irish - so happy for you!! I have started posting on pregnant after treatment on the Feb 2009 thread so I hope to see lots of you over there soon too!

SD - glad your boards over with - I know what you mean about the waiting!!

And speaking of waiting, we had to wait about an hour and fifteen minutes this morning for my u/s - I was going crazy but it was all worth it - we saw the heartbeat!!! I feel so much better now. I am measuring 6weeks, 3 days. I may even get to stop the PIO shots (which I had to do to myself last night which was not fun!)

Hope everyone else is doing well and much baby dust to all!
