Tryn4#2- I'm so sorry that you had a BFN. (((HUGS)))

Fruit- It is really early, so you absolutely should not lose any hope! There are twin mothers on the pregnant after treatment board that didn't get a positive HPT until 7dpt, and even then that is still early and with twins! Just wait a few days (if you can) and test again! It will be positive!!!

Sunshine- Glad you are getting your meds soon! I took Ganirelix for my 2nd IVF. For me it was to keep me from ovulating before I was supposed to. That way you know you don't miss the right window. It was a very easy injection. Your BFP is on its way!

Anton- So glad you're doing well! Keep up that PMA. Your house sounds amazing (other than no AC at times)! I think I need to visit Cypress! I can't wait to hear your BFP news! I think that crazy dream is because you are pregnant!

Wehavehope- I'm so sorry about your fender-bender. I know that must have been very stressful. At least you will have your amazing beta tomorrow!

Lauren and prayersnpies- Hope you are enjoying some rest and letting those embies snuggle in!

Easley- So glad everything is going well! My jeans already feel tight just from bloating, etc. Those belly bands must be a lifesaver!

AFM- Lines on the HPTs are still getting darker..notice I say plural lines...I'm really obsessed and cannot stop taking them! I even broke out a digital today which said Pregnant. I always love seeing those! I do think that these tests have been darker sooner than my last BFP, but who knows! We'll find out at my beta on Monday! Till then I remain in crazytown!

[WeHaveHope]

Wishing-so happy to hear you are doing so well. We are o ly days apart. Can you believe it!!! Glad you have joined me at the funny farm with the HPT. I've lost count at this point. I am ready to hand over the town keys! Best of luck with your Beta tomorrow. Can't wait to read all about it.

[margi26]

Wishingandhoping: Welcome to Crazytown Central!!! So glad that you are seeing those two lines and can't wait for your beta!!!

Fruit: Many have already said it, but I will reiterate: 5dp5dt is too early!! I got a positive 6dp5dt and that was really early. I had twins and a high HcG which I was lucky made it into my pee stream early--look at my beta at 13dpo--not a usual # at all. It also depends on what test you are using, time of day (evening isn't best), concentration of your pee, etc. Hang in there!! Some women don't get positive HPTs until 14dpo or even later, so HANG IN THERE and keep up the PMA!!!

Hi ladies, I had my ET today and feel great... They transferred 2 embies- that is the most my clinic will do (Doc says expecially since I'm younger). We had 3 that were mature and ready to go- so, the others will get frozen. So, my 2WW ends on 8-9.. One day before I go back to work(teacher). I like the idea of writing in a journal, nobody completely understands this crazy journey unless your in this infertility madness... My nurse gave me a pic of my embies to be transferred, I told my DH that its the first pic for the baby's scrap book. Congrats on your "blueberry" Easly4. Glad to hear your drive and visit went well, Sunshine, and have a great visit with the family. I debated telling my family too but, guess as private of a journey as it is, the more people you tell- the more happy thoughts and prayers sent your way Fruit- sending you lots of positive thoughts and you will get your BFP next time you POAS. Congrats Anton on your growing embies -- did I miss it or are you going to POAS?? Best wishes to you all.

[WeHaveHope]

Prayernpies-congratulations for being PUPO! Can't wait to hear about your BFP. It will be here soon. I will be rooting for you. Best wishes.

[Ninde]

Tryn4#2: I'm really sorry to hear your news. I can only imagine how devastating it must be. I will keep you in my prayers.

Started the withdrawal bleed/period today, now I don't normally suffer badly with pain or cramps but I'm doubled over - does anyone know if the nasal spray can cause that?

Right, off to bed with a hot water bottle!

[WeHaveHope]

Ninde-not sure about nasal sprays. Which one are you on? I am a nurse, not IVF, but would be happy to help you find out. I hope you feel better.

[moorebaby]

tryn4#2- Again, I'm so sorry! I know how it feels & wish there was something I could/say to make the pain go away. Please know that I'm thinking of you. (((HUGS)))

Ninde- I'm actually not really knowledgeable about the nasal spray. What exactly is the medicine? Hope you feel better soon!

Prayernpies- Congrats on being PUPO!!! Did you have a 2dt? Congrats on having some frozen embabies. You're a teacher, too? What do you teach & what grade? I teach Health/6th, 7th, & 8th grades. Teachers go back August 29th & students return August 31st. You must get out in May for summer vacation.

Wishingandhoping- You just have to get through the weekend....you're almost there!!!

Fruit- Here you go girl...
**this is what happens in a 5dt :

-1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
0dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
1dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
2dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
3dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
4dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
5dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
6dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
7dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
8dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
9dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

You are WAY to early!!!

LYD10- Good luck tomorrow!

WeHaveHope- Can't wait to hear tomorrow's BETA! I will be hitting the refresh button all day.

[Prayersnpies]

Hey Moorebaby, well hope you are enjoying your summer vacation . I teach HS Spec Ed - behavior students- and I love it- but, definately not ready to go back yet! I go back 8/10 and kids come 8/22. We get out first week of June. It is nice to have all summer off for all these appts and to have it be stress free- or somewhat... And thanks for that post transfer info- I am new to this so, since I had a 3-day I'm assuming the info only applies to a 5day?? Tryin4#2--My sincere thoughts and prayers to you and DH.

Ok ladies, so tomorrow is my Beta. I am super nervous. I love you all for all of the support you have given me. My appointment is at 8am EST and I should get the call sometime in the afternoon. This is my last HPT. I can definantely see the difference now. Thanks again.

[Sunshine1576]

Congratulations WeHaveHope you are so pregnant!!!! I will miss your official post tomorrow but I wanted to tell you tonight. Soon many more of us will be joining you over on the pregnancy board. Our Summerboard has been on fire and it's not over yet until the beta lady sings her final dying note.

[WeHaveHope]

sunshine-thank you. I won't be moving anywhere anytime soon. I realy enjoy being a part of this board.

A quick note before I leave to travel home to see family....

Leora lost her other twin today as many of you may already know. Her birthday is coming up on 7/31 and I wish we could think of something extra special to do for her. I know nothing can bring back her babies but to show her we care and send her a card would mean alot. I would give anything to have her mailing address but don't know the best way to go about that. Anyone have any ideas of what we could do especially for Leora please chime in, it would mean alot to her.
