Hazel, your upcoming weekend sounds like a DREAM vacation! I so wish we could afford to visit/travel Europe! Enjoy the sun- we're 40 degrees with rain
Michele: ouch. I could see my DH doing the same thing- talking to his friends about the ordeal b/c he knows they will feel 'sympathy' pains I will be thinking about you over the next 3 weeks!!!
Eileen: See! what beautiful numbers! Good luck again on Friday!
Have a great day ladies- I'll be trying to read my way through until my u/s tomorrow at 1:45pm. Still trying to shake those d*mn negative thoughts!
G-Morning Ladies! Michele Good Luck with your ER! Hazel Enjoy your vacation! Take advantage of your resting time
AFM: Went today for bw and us. RE says she sees about 10 follies on each side but they are too small to tell, but that's the way she wants them for now. I have to go back to Thursday
I had my u/s this morning and it's Twins!!! I heard both heartbeats and each was beating at 135. I think I'm in shock but I'm excited! My due for a singleton would be 12/5 but since it's twins, it will more likely be mid November or late November.

Thank you all for thinking about me. Well, I did not do as well as anticipated, they only got 12 eggs, but I know that is still an awesome number. I was just hoping with how many follies I had, we would have more to possibly freeze. RE said he had trouble on my right side, had to leave a few behind because of position of follies and interferance with possible blood vessels. Now we wait to hear about the sperm. I think they will call later today about the sperm situation, we are just praying they find atleast 12 good spermies. My number of eggs is really irrelavant if they don't have enough sperm.
I am glad it is over. I was in quite a bit of pain when I woke up, but I henestly don't think as bad as last time. After I took some percocet and it kicked in, I feel much better. I am sure I will have to continue with percocet today, and I have a heating pad which helps.
Ya know what was funny though, I was talking a bunch with RE today, since we have been through this and we kinda know him well now, and I was telling him how active I am in the ivf online community. We got into talking about support b/c when I first showed up and was getting my iv put in, there was a woman in recovery who was upset and crying, just struggling with the emotions of ivf. I told him the clinic should have a support group for people cycling at the same time, since they do like 15 people a month. I was telling him how helpful it is for me to talk to and meet other people going through the same thing. He said they have tried a couple of times, but just can't find the right person to run it, and I told him maybe I am the one! He said in the past the people he has had are more into talking about themselves than supporting the others, so he needs someone who is willing to do it even when they are not cycling, someone who really wants to "give back." I told RE my palns to even put together a "chicken soup" type book for people struggling with infertility. I told him I am totally about supporting others and helping people through this time. Anywho...just thought that was all interesting and I would share.
I will update again later if I hear from the clinic about sperm.
aims- congrats for twins! How exciting, and you got to hear the hb's, thats awesome.
statsgoddess- yay for stimming! I moved you up on the list!
Estrellita- I moved you too, I didn't even realize I hadn't moved you yet! 10 on each side sounds good so far.
Ok, off to rest a bit, I honestly think dh is in more pain than me right now, so I am going to have to take care of the baby most of the day...but I will check in again later.

Michelle - I'm glad your ER went well. 12 eggs is very good, sorry for the pain, but the percocet will surely make the trick. Tell your RE, if he wants reference to call or write to us, we will vouch for you. You are awesome. I can't imagine what this process would be if its not for you and the other girls. You always know the right thing to say and lift up our spirists and PMA. Go rest now, and let us know as soon as you can how ferlitization went.
CT_Michelle - 12 is still very good! I hope you start feeling better quickly. I think it would be awesome if you started a group at your clinic!! I wish mine had something like that so I could meet some people locally who were going through the same thing.

Michelle- I'm glad you came through ok- I'm hoping and praying for a good outcome w/the spermies..... Let me know if you need a reference from you doc to be the leader of the support group!
Well I got my official BFN a couple mintues ago....although I knew it was coming, hearing it sucks! Now I just wait for AF and start again. DH is going to have another Sperm analysis to see if the morphology has gotten worse.....since we only had one fertilize this time. RE wants to eval my uterus, but that would mean I couldnt do a May cycle, so I really hope they dont think that Im going to wait. My insurance is coming to an end and we have to get in as many cycles as possible right now!
CT Michele-- 12 is good, hope there is a sperm for each of them! That is awesome that you may help your clinic with a support group...you are definitely someone who would be awesome!
Melanie--any news on your beta?
