i'm gassy too :oops: :?
I wonder if there's something we can do or take to get rid of it. I've done some googling, but didn't get any answers.
Boobs are sore too! Is that from the PIO? I think mine started to get sore during stimming.

hey bat- glad Et went well today- put your feet up and take it easy- sorry about the OHSS hope it passes quickly

Tammy thanks for the info on implant cramp/spotting stuff- I feel loads better :)

Rin - wow, shit. I am so sorry for you. You've been such an amazing cheerleader for us, and I wept when I read your news - I think the chinese diet will be a great way to get your body on track for May- I have a friend who is doing that as well and she's been on the fertility diet for about 7-8 weeks, and she feels great.

best to you all

BUMPIN' 08!!!

Hi gals
I wasn't on yesterday- looks like the board was sort of wonky!!!

kelly hang in there - the 2ww can drive a woman mad!!! PMA - i am able to not think about it for a minute here and there- I want a BFP for all of us, so PUPO!!!!! hope the test gives that BFP for you this time!!!!!!!!!!

Rin- that sounds just like what my friend is doing- and there is a ton of stuff you don't eat during diff times of your cycle- but yep- she boils herbs and sticks and drinks it !

weezie- what's the john and kate thing??? you're right tues will be here in a jiffy! PUPO

EMS welcome back! good luck with the FET- what do they do for that protocol?

Sage- AH is a process where they soften a bit of the "shell" of the emby to assist it in attaching to the wall of the uterus - I think.... my RE says they usually do it just as they usually do 3dt - so i guess that's what they did with me :) oh and there is an increased % risk of idents - but I'm pretty cool with that!!!

RB good luck with ER today!!!!!!!!! and I know what you mean- it's just that it is so weird to keep injecting different stuff in without a medical supervisor assuring you that you are doing it right! :wink:

Bat - 2wwer buddy - my boobs hurt a lot, and then not at all, my belly has achiness now and then, then not a thing, I have gas and pee a great deal - so who knows what it all means! I am just focusing on trying to go about my business and not obsess on my BFP- though i'm sort of fooling myself to think it is not on my mind 24/7!

Tammy - when did you transfer, again? am I really 2 days behind you????
whew- and I thought my memory sucked before!!! :lol:

I'm good, you know, waiting..... - but when they say go back to your usual activity - what do they think we do? I am a sculptor in grad school, and while I am a lot less active than before I had back surgery, I do still lift some heavy stuff, drag steel and things around, and am on my feet a lot throughout the day. I also lugged around about 30lbs of books yesterday- am i doing too much? Argh!!!!!! I have been trying to keep a low profile and still do the stuff i need to for school. I think I am taking it easy-ish.=, then again I am exhausted at the end of the day -
I still have a bit of a cough, and am all stuffy in the head now -but I seem to be doing better- only taking tylenol and a ton of ricola cough drops!

this wait thing makes me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUMPIN' 08!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

hope you're all doing great

Good Morning Everyone!

Well, I went and had my bloodwork done and now I just have to wait. It is 9:00 am here and I have to wait until 2:00 ish. Boy, I hope today is a busy day at work so that it is 2:00 quickly.

My cramps are pretty much gone today and my boobs are starting to feel a bit sore but again that could be PMS. Who knows. Anyway, I am not feeling as negative as I was yesterday (sorry about that friends) but trying not to get my hopes up either.

I apologize for no personals today. I can hardly concentrate on anything! I'll touch base when I heard something this afternoon.

In the meantime, I hope the 22ers are doing well and that those stimming are getting achy ovaries from lots of follies!!!

Kelly- I bet you can't wait till 2p. Just know, we're all here waiting with you.

loopie- jon & kate is a tv program (i think discovery health??). they are a couple (early 30's) that had twins via in-vitro. Then later they decided to try (IUI) for one more and ended up with sextuplets. So the show is about raising children and multiples. I think its been on for a while, but i just heard of it. Either way, I think it will be interesting to listen to how they deal with all the kiddos. be careful lugging all that weight around.

bat- I don't think there's anything we can do about the gas :oops: My nipples were sore while stimming but not anymore. Just gassy and tired. What a great combination, huh?

rio- what's the new #'s??? I'm waiting.......

Loopie: DOn't lift anything heavy. I am not lifting anything over 10-20lbs. I tell ppl my back is hurting again, or that the dr said I cannot lift more than xx lbs. Everything else I do is normal. But lifting I am very careful of. I even wait for dh to come home to take down the laundry take the trash out, etc... I know ppl will say oh ppl get pg and lift things all the time. But they did not spend 14k on that baby!!! :) So try your best to not lift heavy stuff. Wow sculptor - fun :) I took a break from classes this semester.


Kelly Good luck today. Waiting on that BFP!!!

Jomae: eating pineapple while ttc is supposed to be harmful. What is suggested is to eat pineapple for 5 days after transfer core and all.

ok girls I will be on later. I must get my lazy butt out of bed !!!

CONGRATS to Rio, Suga, and Katie! I am joining the club too! I just got my results from my first beta this morning! 973! They are thinking it is a multiple but aren't sure if it is either twins or triplets! Either way we are out of our minds we are so happy!!!

To all the other girls, I hope your cycles are going well, and lots of baby dust your way!
TWINS!
