Good Morning everyone!
sportsmom- sounds like a lot of decent size follies. Let us know when you get the official word on trigger. If your estrogen is high, they will probably have you wait a day.
estrellita- your almost there...and it will be here before you know it. How have the stims been for you? Are you feeling ok?
dys- I could never wait until tomorrow, I am so impatient. When she told me I could call late morning, I was just trying to figure out what "Late" meant...so I just called and I will put my update down below...it's good news! Sorry about all of your waiting, I know that sucks...
amfm- welcome to stimming time! I added you to the list. Hopefully that cyst will not grow and you can continue with your stims.
ianmichael- that is awesome you got a tape of the hb. That is a long wait to see the ob, hope you can wait it without going crazy. I was lucky that my clinic does not release us until 12 wks, and they have us start seeing our ob at 8 weeks, so I get plenty of updates until wk 12. After that it was tough for me, only 1 appt per month.
hopeful- great second number...I wonder how many are in there???
hazel- hope your enjoying your relaxing little getaway...I admit, I am a little jealous.
So like I said, I am very impatient, so I called the clinic hoping to leave a message for the lab tech and she actually wasn't busy and was able to update me right then. She said that today, they want them to be between 2 and 4 cells. She said that from my 6 fertilised yesterday, one of them is 4 cell, and 5 of them are 2 cell, and she said they are all either A or B quality, so she said they all look good. Tomorrow we will pick the best 2 for transfer and hopefully will have 4 to freeze.
I feel so much better today. I am still tender, but I can not believe how sore I was yesterday, I felt like I couldn't even move. But today I plan on getting out to get some errands done before I try and rest up this weekend so those embies can snuggle in. My husband is still really sore though. He says it feels like someone is constantly kicking him in the you know what. He has to go back to work tomorrow after transfer, but is going to try and do a lot of catching up on paperwork so he doesn't have to do a lot of moving around.
So our transfer will be at 11 tomorrow morning. We have a bottle of champagne for a good luck/birthday toast tonight. I think I am going to make some prime rib for dinner. We toasted last time a day or 2 before transfer, and it turned out to be good luck. And of course my b-day is next week, so I will not be having a celebratory b-day beverage, so I will have one tonight.
Ok, gotta go take a shower while the little one is napping, talk to you all later!
March/April cycle buddies??

Hi girls! Just popping in quickly to say:
Michele - GOOD LUCK for ET tomorrow! Your embies all sound like they're going to be great quality, I'm so happy for you. Not long until you're PUPO... In the meantime, enjoy that prime rib and champagne. I was told that the antibiotics they gave me at ER would react really badly to alcohol, so there went my little plans for a sneaky glass of something between ER and ET!
sportsmom - hurray for trigger and good luck for ER on Saturday. Here's hoping for a big bumper harvest of top quality eggies!
ianmichael - so exciting for you, a tape of the little hb! I can't even imagine how cool it must be to be able to listen to that...
estrellita - pleased to hear you're making progress. It will be here before you know it!
statsgoddess - likewise, so glad you're all on track. Keep us updated as/when you know any more!
amfmbaby - hope your u/s goes well tomorrow, let us know how you get on. Fingers crossed you won't be cancelled.
Hopeful - fab second number! As Michele said, I wonder how many you've got in there??
That's all for me for the time being. We're here at our hotel now, we have been out for dinner (bit of a disappointment, our usual pub for our first night meal wasn't as good as usual because the pub has changed hands and chefs since we were last here). Looking forward to our first beach walk tomorrow. I'm generally trying to keep my mind off the 2ww! No real symptoms but I know it's still early days.

Jenny and Rio- Thanks so much for popping in over here to check on me...you girls are awesome!
dys- thanks for the good luck...I will update as soon as I get home I am sure. We will definitely try to make some plans for next week, I will need to stay occupied during the 2ww, if I am too bored I will just stay home and POAS all day and then I will run out before my beta comes!
hazel- enjoy the beach! I must admit, I am jealous, but atleast some nice weather is coming our way this weekend. Might hit 90F on sunday.
sportsmom- yay for trigger! love the woot woot!
So we had our special dinner tonight. Some prime rib, a champagne toast, and Ella was sitting in her high chair right next to us. I welled up with tears as I looked at her and toasted. My husband toasted to "more babies." Then we talked about what is gonna happen, and he is really optomistic this will work for us again. I can only hope he is right. Thank you all for your baby dust and the awesome support, I don;t know what I would do without these boards!
Ok, have a great night everyone!

I am back everyone, and I am PUPO, and here are my babies...
Everything went really well today. All 6 embryos made it, and all were either 7 or 8 cells and a grade of A or B. So we transferred 2 8-celled embies, one was grade A one was grade B, but he said they all looked good, and they will freeze the other 4 today. I have to go back on Tuesday (my b-day) for progesterone check, and then the following tuesday (May 5, cinco de mayo) is my beta test. So now we just wait and wait.
Thank you all for thinking of me today. Now I just need to decide when to start using my bulk order of hpt's! I have plenty, and I kinda want to do a really early one just to know the hcg is out of my system. I like to get atleast one negative so I know the trigger is gone and then if I get a positive, I will know it is for real! I will keep you all posted on my upcoming hpt roller coaster ride. For now, I really should go relax, even though it is such a nice day out, I was told to act like it is a snow day and watch some movies. Ok, I will check on you all later...Happy Friday!

ianmichel3 ,
I just read your posts and it seems that your history it quite similar to mine .. I also have a child ( naturally conceived) who is almost 6 .. TTC #2 since 07 .. ,IUI in jan =BFN and now IVF in april /May ..
I am currently on my third day of stims ...
Did you find a cause of your sec inf??? in our case DH sperm count is borderline normal and my fsh ( is kind of fluctuating )came 9 once.. then after that it was 6.2 ..
Hopefully we'll also have a BFP this time
good luck with ur pregnancy
