well tomorrow at 8:45 i go in for ER. i was a bit nervous today after my pre-op appt but tonight i feel pretty relaxed. a trip to my acupuncturist helped quite a bit - i always feel so relaxed after.

tomorrow i'm only expecting three or maybe 4 follicles to be mature - i'm hoping a few more stepped up to the plate in the last 24 hours (knock wood!).

sounds like i'll know tomorrow shortly after the procedure how many they got. then they will call thankgiving morning to give us any news about if we had any fertilize and then if we do, we're likely looking at a saturday transfer.

JDC - hearing that you had 2 fertilize is awesome! it gives me hope!

thanks so much ladies for all the positive feedback and support - it helps sooo, soo much!

continued thoughts and prayers to you all!

pixelgirl - I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you today. It can be so stressful when you only have a few follies, but we still have a chance too. Keep us posted on how it goes - I'm sending you lot's of good vibes for your eggies!

I just found out my sister-in-law is 7 months pregnant. She is a college drop out, can barely afford to live by herself and is no longer with the father of the baby. I know I am finally pregnant but its SO upsetting that I (and all of us) am having to go through so much to get/stay pregnant and people like her just pop babies out so easily.

We don't get along but I am always forced to see her because she depends so much on my mother-in-law... How do I get over this jealousy/rage over her having a baby before me. I am 3 years older and was hoping I could make my DH's mom a grandma but she beat me to it.

Plus- I haven't told my sister-in-law I am pregnant to begin with and she either wants to keep hers or asked if DH and I would adopt since we were having so much trouble. I hate that she pities me!

Obviously we wouldn't let our niece out of the family if DH's sister doesnt want her, but I can't get over this frustration.

Thanks for letting me vent a little

Good morning Ladies. I wanted to say Happy Turkey Day to you all for tomorrow!!!!

Pixelgirl - good luck on ER tomorrow - just remember you really on need one so four would be a blessing.

Mrs. Clutter and Wishing4baby - good luck on your beta today.

Wishingfor4 - sorry to hear about your sister-in-law, that would be heartbreakings, but just remember your little sweetie is nice and tight inside you and whether it was the first grandchild or the last it will still be special to your in-laws.

Sending Hugs to all you other ladies!!!!

I wont be on the boards for a week and a half as I have off all next week. Hopefully I will have ER and ET next week as I had planned, but you never know how the body responds. So hopefully I will return in my two week wait! That doesnt seem possible.

Anyway I will check on you ladies before I leave work today and know that I am praying for each and every one of you.

Chris how are you doing?

[to_have_fun08]

Looks like I will be canceled AGAIN. Follie is still huge so I am sure my E2 levels are still high.

Hope every has a Happy Turkey Day.



Chris

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you ladies know that I went for my beta today and got a BFP!!!!! My hcg level was 71 and my estrogen and progesterone levels were good also. I am so excited! I was a little concerned about the hcg level but my RE said that as long as it is over 50 then I'm fine. My second beta is Friday. Thanks for your blessings.

I wish everyone else in the cycle many blessings and lots of sticky baby dust. Mrscutter and wishing4baby, I hope you ladies also get a BFP! To all of the ladies that are waiting on your ET or ER I wish you luck and pray that everything goes in your favor. To the ladies that already got your BFP, I hope that things continue to go well for you. I know that some of saw that your little one's heartbeat and I'm sure that was amazing. For the ladies that have BFNs or have had your cycle canceled I hope that you're doing ok and hang in there, you'll get your BFP.

I hope everyone enjoys their Holiday!

[wonderce]

Wishing4blessings, congratulations!! That's wonderful news right here before Thanksgiving! I know you'll be excited to get your next beta and u/s.

Mrs Cutter and Wishing 4 baby, I can't wait to hear your updates and am wishing you the best.

Gina, congrats on the continued good news!

Chris, so sorry the follie is still too big. When will you get confirmation on the E2 level? I know this must be frustrating and hope you can keep positive.

Foreverlove, enjoy your time off and best wishes with your ER and ET. Like you said, hopefully you'll come back in the 2ww. It's hard but manageable with all of this support here.

Waiting for 4, sorry about the news with your sister-in-law. I can understand your needing to vent. You are so right though about how some people get pregnant so easily, even women who aren't in a good situation to raise a child. It almost doesn't seem fair. Hopefully you can continue to focus on the positive that you're now pregnant.

Pixelgirl, good luck and will be waiting for an update after your ER. I also have grown to love acupuncture. It's so relaxing and figure it may be helping so will continue to go if I can.

Drive by post...I am off to finish my turkey day shopping but I just got a call from my RE. Went for BW and Sono this morning and they say things look good. My follies are about 10cm (is that good for day 4 of stims?) but they need to get to 20 for ICSI. So I am staying the same withe my shots tonight but tomorrow I am adding Antagon. 2 shots now...WOW. I have to go back for BW and sono on friday so I am off tomorrow...no excuses for me with the family tomorrow! SO ladies please is this how is goes? I trust my RE but I guess I need some reassurance others have had similar experiences.
Thanks !

Thank you Wonderce and Foreverlove. I've decided to get rid of the bad feelings and reach out to my sis-in-law (hopefully itll work this time). If she doesnt want to keep her daughter, DH and I will just have to be parents in only 2 months!

Wishing_4_Blessings- your HCG is great! My first one was only 70, 2nd was 165 (still freaked me out) but my 3rd yesterday was 2,325! Just shows our little guys were determined to hang in there and implanted late. Congrats on your BFP!!

I am off to get a massage... decided to pamper myself. Have a good one!

wishing_4_blessings-- CONGRATS ON YOUR BFP!!!
