Loopie,
you should take it easy!! Take care of your little babies :)
My doc said not to lift no more than 10-15lbs, no exercising except mild walking, and no hot tubs or submerging yourself in water. I'm really trying to take it easy. DH brings the laundry downstairs for me, and my job doesn't require lifting and stuff.
Oh, and I have all the same symptoms as you!! At what point in the pregnancy do you start feeling nauseous?? Can't wait for that :P

How are everyone's PIO shots coming along? My butt is hurting now!! I get really anxious right before each shot still, even though I know what is going to happen. It hurts a little, but not too bad. Looking at the needle freaks me out! I'm so glad DH is doing these shots - i could never do them to myself!!

(i'm still reading the posts...i'll keep responding :) )
I've seen Jon&Kate+8 - it's a cute show!!
Me - 24; DH - 26,
Blocked tubes/hydrosalpinx
1st IVF 1/08, 2/12 - BFP, but empty sac found @ 6.5wks

Weezie, mia - we're testing same day, right?? Do you think it's too early to POAS????????????? I really want to.....................i just wanna see a positive, after all this time of seeing negatives each month. Is it too early to get an accurate result? :)

Hopin4baby!!! congratulations! what great news. BFP!! Good for you. So happy for you. Cant wait to hear if its 2 or 3!

RJBean- how was the ER?!

Kelly? did you hear yet?! hoping for a BFP for you.

I am doing well now. My E2 was up to 990 today. Ultrasound showed endometrium at 10 1/2 and 9 follies on right, 4 on left. almost all are around 18x15 ish. Continue 300 Gonal F tonight and tomorrow AM, US and bloodwork tomorrow AM also. Then they will tell me if I get to trigger tomorrow night for ER on Sat!! yipee. you girls were right, once things got going, they seem to speed right along. Lucky so far with side effects.... sore nipples :o , still horny, more discharge- sorry TMI, some ovarian pain but not so bad yet.

In terms of the sperm part.... DH is unenthusiastic about donating at the clinic (he tried that once- did not go well). At home, not a problem. The Dr said he can bring the sample on the morning of the ER instead of doing it at the clinic in the little room next to the procedures room. I asked if we should prefreeze the swimmers but they said fresh is best and its ok to bring in that AM.
