Stefanie: I am so happy for those 2 lil angels within you, keep them safe and I hope you have a wonderful smooth pregnancy. The stress of all this IVF is bad enough, once pregnant through IVF there should be a rule, no more stress until Labor!!!

Val, I think I finally got my ticker right, oh well cant wait to change it to how many more days to my baby. :)

Toobee, I am glad you had a wonderful 2nd beta. It is smooth sailing from here on out for you Aug ladies :)

Catch you ladies later

Toobee - Are you still having an U/S tomorrow? If you are good luck. Most people don't see a HB this early. If you do that is defiantly a good sign. At least they should be able to tell you how many you are having. I am sure I will be putting two smiley faces by your name. Can't wait to hear your results.

Congrats Stephanie on seeing the heartbeats! What a relief that must be! I am going in tomorrow for my second beta and hoping for good numbers! Hopefully I will be joining you in the May baby group!!

Thanks Val for the link to the due date website- it is way more intensive than others I have found since it shows the date of different tests, etc.

Toobee~ Wishing you the best for your US tomorrow. I hope you get to see everything that you're supposed to see. Too early for heartbeats but you should see the sacs and know how many are getting cozy down there!!
Can't wait to hear all about it! :D

slfleming~Good luck for your beta tomorrow, I know it's going to be a good one!! Perhaps twins are in your future as well!

lynnie~ I know you're having a tough time with PMA. Try to relax and let your embies do their thing! Women have become pregnant with less than perfect embies and it looks like you had a really good one!
I know the 2ww is tough and can drive you up the wall!!

Mztia~ How are you feeling!! How many did you transfer? We haven't heard from you!

Renee~ Didn't you start stims today? Would love to hear from you!

JJJake~ When are you going for your next beta? Don't you worry, it's going to be a good one!!

Well, I better go cook dinner as I am starving and starting to feel bad!

Later girls,

Much love to all!

Renee --

Not sure how you will respond, but I produce 3-5 eggs max. Started just after I turned 41. Now that is not to say you won't get 20, but in general us older gals don't produce that many eggs.


My advice would be to transfer 5 and freeze any that are left, but they told me right off the bat it was unlikely I would have anymore and they were right!

Hope you get tons of eggs, but remember its all about getting just one good one!

Renee - Good luck on stims. I am going to be on the same protocol my next go around. I am really surprised your RE will transfer 5. Most won't because the risk of higher mulitples. I would think that you would have to have a really good cycle to get that many quality embies to freeze and to transfer. Wishing the best for you. KUP.

Hello Ladies

Quick update cause DH making me go back to bed. What a long day, between 2 AP visits and ET we were gone for 6 hours..

We transferred all 6. 1-10 cell, 1-6 cell, 3-4 cell, and 1-2 cell. All grade 4(the best) except one 3+. They are so sure there my only risk is for twins but I am just hoping to see it work then see what happens after. SO many of my eggs are a little behind I think I will get one great beanie.
I have none left over to freeze but that is ok this is gonna be my time.

Ty all for the well wishes!!!

OH and super heartbeats I am so happy for you Stefanie.

Back to bed for me, have a great night!!!!!!!

Mztia~ Glad to hear from you!! That's a lot of embies to transfer. I'm sure at least one of those will stick!! You did really well and should be happy ! You are in your 2ww!! Take it easy...sure looks like DH is looking after you!

Renee~ Good luck with the stims. Most women do not get frosties...we are all lucky to get some good quality embies. You're on your way to your BFP....how exciting! I was very optimistic the first time too. I even said to the RE that I would get a dozen eggs...Boy, was I wrong. That quickly bursted my bubble. All of a sudden I found myself struggling to get 3 follies. Having one ovary doesn't help. You've got both of your ovaries and should do wonderfully!
Grow follies, grow!! :D :D

I can NOT imagine carrying sextuplets!! I think that is beyond amazing. Must be one strong woman to go through that!
There is that show on TLC about a couple that had sextuplets and they show her while pregnant. Scary just to see her. I'd be freaking out!
I don't know the odds but they've got to be very small.
