[MarciaL-OurHope4Baby]

Marcia, i can imagine lots of kids in that house!! xx

Forgot to say your flowers look pretty, and having a house that big with 3 or 4 kids running around would be great . Love old houses like that house you posted and it reminds me ones in Stratford-upon-Avon.


Nimble - And as for the dates, nothing's set they haven't given me any revised ones at all. What I meant was, what I'm hoping for is they'll say on my next scan on Wednesday that I can do my hCG trigger shot that night 4th April, Egg Retrievals are done 2 days later so ER would be Friday 6th, and a 5dt if I have enough, and all the eggs servive fertilisation otherwise it' ll be a 3dt on Monday 9th *crossing fingers*.

But we really would like to go for a 5dt ideally.

[jstrandlund]

WOOOO HOOO two of my babies are back home with me. I had one morula and one blastocyst transfered which is much better than the last IVF. They are also watching two additional follies to determine if they will be able to freeze them. I will know more tomorrow. My test date is April 11th.

[MarciaL-OurHope4Baby]

Brilliant news hun, bet you feel better now you have them warm and cosy .

[smattison]

Karma-I am so sorry…that is great that you are trying again ASAP!!! I am on my 2nd try and I think 2nd try will be the BFP you are looking for. Good Luck.

Melly-Congrats on stimming..you are well on your way.

Marcia-That is great!!! I am so happy for you…Friday trigger..it will be here before you know it!

Sonya-What a proud mama…they look beautiful. Think how big they will be in 8 ½ months.

As for me..I am home feeling like sh** but they did get 13 mature eggies. I will know in the morning how many fertilized. I can’t wait. That is 2 more than last time. Maybe I will have some snow babies…YEA!!!

[cookholmes]

Nicolamark, I love the picts, you grow some beautiful flowers!

Nimble, stay strong on your 2ww, soon you will get your BFP!

Jstrandlund, wonderful that they are home, enjoy your 2ww

Smattison, 13 is a great number, do not worry! Soon they will be safe at home with mommy!

As for us, the numbers are excellent, it is now 528 , so the Dr. is thinking it might be multiples, which would be just as wonderful as one! We have our scan on the 23rd of April, so we will know soon enough

[fijibabie]

Hey everyone

Hope you are all well! This whole process is so excited but my goodness it is emotional! I have ups and downs about the whole affair.

Tomorrow I do the blood test to see if the bureslin is doing it's job. My donor has this tomorrow too so fingers crossed for her.

If all is going well with both of us I start the estradiol valerate tablets - 3 x a day. All going to plan and our lovely donor (who is annoymous) and I will not react badly to the drugs and then the week of 16 April!! I can not wait.

Baby dust to everyone on this board!

thought this would amuse you all.

The Ostermilk Mother and Baby Book

AGuide to Mothercraft 1969

The most usual indication that you are going to have a baby is a missed period. But, as this could be caused by something else - a chill or over-tiredness, perhaps - it is not until you have missed a second period that you can be sure a baby is on the way. This is the time to pay your first visit to your doctor who will confirm your expectations

Can you believe that they had to wait 2 months to have a preg test? Thank God none of us wanted to be mothers then huh. We are all so lucky to have this chance.

Nicky, Thank you xxx

Well done Sonya - let me know if your womb keeps closong around them, mine did.xxx

Marcia, Thank you and well done on folly growth xxx

Melly, Thankyou and good luck with stimming xxx

Good luck Amanda thinking of you xxx

Thankyou Nimble I'll do that xxx

Good luck Jill xxx

Denise thats amazing news ddn't know they could tell if you could have twins from blood?!xxx

Barbs, aren't donors wonderful, good luck xxx

[nimble]

Denise OMG thats fantastic - twins or may be more

Jill - so pleased your babies are back home where they should be. Good luck for the 2ww. Hey we are testing on the same date - how odd when I've nearly had mine in for a week!!

Stephanie - 13 mature - wow you must get some snow babies from those numbers - fingers crossed for those eggies to party on down with DH swimmers xx

back later
Nims xx

[MISSPIGGY]

two months till test date I would die waiting ha ha

[Anie2007]

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to post an update, EC went well this morning at 7:30. RE collected 14 eggs and he will let me know tomorrow how many fertilized, I can't wait.

I was asleep the whole procedure the last thing I remember they took me to the operating room then the nurse helped me lay down put my hand on the rest board, the next thing I know I woke up in the recovery room. Right now I'm a little sore and sleepy from anesthia.

I hope everyone is doing well, I'm going back to bed now and rest..Talk to you all later..

[nimble]

Anie well done so glad things went well for you - praying for many embies tomorrow.

sorry ladies but yet again I have another TMI question - any of the 2ww'ers having a normal white discharge?? I'm having quite a bit and just wanted to see if its normal OR a sympton (but now I know I'm just clutching on straws here!!)

Sorry again probably not some of you wanted to read at tea time

Nims xx

[smattison]

This has been really rough for me. I am still hurting pretty bad and I get dizzy when I stand. I hope this goes away. Well we got the call and 10 fertilized. They are going to look at them again tomorrow on day 2 and see what is happening...if we still have 10 then we are waiting on a day 5 transfer. Last time we could not wait since we only had 1 8-cell on day 3. I am hoping for lots of grade A embies so we can have some snow babies. Wish me luck and I will check in again tomorrow I need to go lay down.

Hope everyone is doing OK!!! This is kicking my butt!
I will do personals later. Sorry!
