Hey Guys,
I am so sorry I am not posting....Hurricane IKE never touched us, so no worries...but Hurricane OHSS is messing me up....I feel terrible and I know my case is mild and not severe, but none the less I am in a constant state of discomfort,.....feeling grumpy and sickly. When I am sick I become highly unsociable so I hope you guys will forgive me until this passes a bit more ...............
Ill have allot to catch up on, but I sill dont feel pregnant at all....I just feel sick from the OHSS, I was such an unlikely candidate to get this..I hope it doesnt effect my outcome and at least one of my three implanters decides to stick around
Yes I am a great big whiner and completly self absorbed at the moment, Please forgive me guys, Im a terrible sick person
Hope all is well Girls.......talk soon, wishng everyone love and tons of baby dust- Im genuinly so sorry I havent been participating
TooBee
AUG/SEPT BUDDIES!

OK, first off, since I just can't wait - it's a BFP!!! 
My beta is 91. A little lower than my last BFP, but Ghost says that FETs tend to be late implanters so maybe that has something to do with it. My progesterone was a bit low so the RE upped my PIO injection to 2cc.
Next beta is on Wednesday 9/17.
Aims - glad to hear about DH. He's the most important one to figure out that it was wrong. Too bad about your BF though. Hope it relieves some stress for you!
AmandaM - I am far less symptomatic so far than I was with my last BFP. I think not only is every woman different but every pregnancy for that woman is different. I'm sure everything is fine for you! Looking forward to your next beta.
MzTia - can't wait until you catch up with us!
Lynniecat - just remember that it's still likely too early for symptoms even if they do show up, and that you could end up just like AmandaM. Sending you BFP dust!!!!
turtlesonastump - thank you so much for that info, it really eased my mind yesterday. Not so much that I didn't do another HPT before I got my beta results phone call today though!
I know, I'm nuts.
JJJake - your first and second betas are fine! The third is only a little low. I hope everything's OK.
Chris - I think you're awesome for sticking with this thread. I'll be watching for your progress in Oct/Nov!

Kerpupples -WOOOOHOOOOO very nice BETA!!! Congrats to you and DH you both must be so excited.
Toobee- HOw horrible about the OHSS. I am so sorry you are dealing with that. I thought that OHSS doesn't affect the viability of a pregnancy if anything t reassures you that you are pregnant. Without those babies making all that HCG you wouldn't have the OHSS. Hopefully it will ease up quickly and you can put all your focus on those babes inside.

toobee - You sound miserable and you have to right to be whiny about it. Especially with all these hormones running through us. Take care. We are glad that Ike didn't bother you.
kerpupples - WOOHOOO!!!:D congratulations!! 91 sounds like a great number. I was only 51 my first beta. That sucks they upped your progesterone. I am getting tired of those shots 
My DH has been out of town for 4 of the shots, so I had to give them to myself. That is not fun. I know what you mean about POAS. I am tempted to do some more just because it has been almost a week since my last beta. I am holding out so far
lynniecat - Wow 18 days!! that is crazy. I don't blame you for feeling crazy. I wonder why they wait so long. When do you test again?
Val - Funky moods must be going around. I have been the same way. Some days I just don't feel pregnant and start to worry. Then I get a twinge and am happy.
Glad your DH makes you laugh. My son gets me out of my moods. He is so excited and told me that he want the baby to come out now!! He is constantly talking to my belly and giving kisses. He also told me he wants 10 babies 
Then he giggles.
Hope everyone is doing good!! Gotta pee again

Toobee- I had a very mild form of OHSS after my first cycle. I can only imagine how much pain you are in with your's. You def have the right to whine about not feeling well. I am glad to hear that Ike didn't hit you. Seem like it was a monster storm. When will you go in for your next u/s. Feel better soon.
Kerpupples - YAY! I am so happy for you and you DH. 91 is great. You are def preggers. Congrats . I can't wait to hear your next beta. My clinic told me they have seen multiples from numbers like that so don't worry that it isn't as high as you might expect .
Lynnie - That is a long time to wait. Is that your clinic's standard to wait that long? They should know that pregnant people need to know as soon as possible. I am sure it will be good news. I can't wait to hear your number.
Turtles- I know what you are going through. Last week it seemed like I had to pee all the time. It isn't as bad this week though. What are you studying? I don't think I could go back to school now.
Aims- Glad you cleared things up with you DH. I'd be seriously ticked at your friend if I were you. Who asks their friend for naked pics. How odd. I'm glad you aren't letting it stress you.
Thanks for all the reassurance girls. You all know exactly how I feel. It is tough when you feel somethings and then all of a sudden they are gone for days. Don't get me wrong I don't want to feel sick and be in pain, I just want to know the baby(ies) are in there and doing well.
Plus with things the way they are at work I have way too much time on my hands to think about it. lol

Amanda - I am getting my masters in computers. I only have 2 classes left. It is really hard to concentrate. I am taking one class this semester and one next semester. That way it is done before the baby is due. I would try not to worry too much. When I was pregnant with my son I don't think I really had symptoms for a while. I think the first one was tiredness and I don't remember exactly when it started. I know I didn't have all this cramping and stuff. So everyone and every pregnancy is different. My DH is hoping I have morning sickness this time

kerpupples~ YEAHHHH Fantastic news!! Another BFP for team August! That's a good beta you have there! You must be thrilled! I had also read about the embies implanting later during a FET. Wishing you the best for your second beta.
Toobee~ Don't you worry about not wanting to write. We miss you but the important part is that you get better soon. The OHSS will not affect the pregnancy at all, actually, it's a good sign. Not pleasant to have at all but soon you will be better and the embies will be growing strong!
Aims~ Glad things are settled with DH and that the best friend is now EX best friend. I would be livid if my BF sent naked pictures of her to my DH.
Anyway, your embies are getting snuggled in. and that's what is important.
turtles~ Your little boy sounds like such a darling. I would just want to kiss him for being so sweet! He's going to make such a wonderful big brother!
I hope your mood is improving as well. I absolutely hate feeling like this because it's so unlike me!
slfleming~ Didn't you have your second beta today? How are you feeling? Let us know!
Val

valerie - Thanks. I'll feel better about the beta on Wednesday if it doubles or +.
AmandaM - I'd love twins! And I'm slow at work now too so I know what you mean.
turtles - I forgot to mention that I love that your ticker has a turtle! I've had to do a couple of PIO shots myself too. They weren't as bad as I expected but I can only manage to do them on one side. Can't reach my bum well with my weak right hand! Heaven forbid I have to travel for work in the next few weeks.
toobee - hang in there hon, I really hope your discomfort subsides soon.
Does anybody besides me smell the hCG in their pee? I noticed it for my last BFP and I'm noticing it already this time too. I don't understand how people can be pregnant for months and not know it!!!

Well Hello ladies:
I see we have a new BFP Congrats kerpupples, I am very excited for you. August seems to have been a wonderful month for BFP's. I wish I could have joined you!!
Me and my donor had our calendar review this morning. Feels like we are both on BCP for a long time, until 10/7 for me and 10/14 for her, I start Lupron on the 4th she on the 11th and then baseline for her on the 20th and start Gonal on the 23rd. I guess when 21 you dont need to stim for too long.
My RE said that ER can be anywhere from the 28th to to the 31st.
This wait is killing me. I am however excited that I dont have to take all those meds this time around. ahhhhhhhhhhh.
I will keep you ladies posted and still be checking in since you all are so amazing and helped me so much through my first cancelled cycle.
Much sticky baby dust

Kerpupples WAY. TO. GO!!!!!!!!!!
To Bee - whine away, girl You got a lot going on down there, and no one on this site doubts your gratitude for a minute. If anything, it's just so hard and frustrating to have more discomfort and more to worry about. I hope it passes soon.
As for me... today I can't stop eating egg salad. (mayonaise from home, properly stored in fridge) Hope I didn't make someone gag with that one.

Turtles- That's great that you are getting your masters. My husband has a comp science degree and is a software engineer. Like I mentioned earlier I have way too much time on my hands w work. I literally have nothing to do at work and my job ends on Oct 31.
I'm trying to relax about the symptoms disappearing and hope it is not a missed miscarriage.

MzTia - Thanks, I will have to find some extra special smilyes when you post your BFP. Can't wait.
Kerpupples - Sorry if this is TMI but could the different smell be from PIO. I had a strange smell to my urine that I noticed after ER so I just figured it was the drugs. For me it was HCG because I got a BFN. Who knows our bodies do some much weird stuff while in the journey.

hey hey
My beta is 1100 thank god! my ultrasound is on thursday. I asked my re about the concerns i had with my numbers and she was a little miffed at me. She said i'm doing well with all levels and she ordered me to stop it and live for the day. She said so far there's nothing to indicate there's a problem.
My belly pain comes and goes still. Please believe me I will get to personals soon first full day of work and i'm sooooo tired. I hope all is well ladies.....KERUPPLES i did see your BFP congrats.
