Bobo,
I feel like I am looking in the mirror!! Our church has a healing service every Sunday after the regular service. We went today and prayed for our little embie to attach...but we know that it's God's will and we will accept either outcome. One thing struck me in particular, one woman prayed for us to be a peace during this wait, and I truly feel that. I think, like you, I will wait til the 12th to get the news.
We will keep you in our prayers...have you had any symptoms?
I am 34, so is my DH, and we live in Southern NH, right over the border of Massachusetts.
You've had 3 IVFs?? How long have you been trying?

hey there ericka we are in deep south texas rio grande city,texas. we are about 5 miles away from the mexican border. i am 27 years old and my dh is 31 we have been married for 7 years and ttc for 5 years. both other ivf's were done last year our 1st one was aug 06 with a bfn. our 2nd one was nov 06 that turned out to be a chemical pre. we even had a 16cell embie transfered back so we had high hopes for that. as you know my dh is the one with the problem so our ivf icis would be our only choice. if you don't mind asking you what is your problem? the only symptons i have had up to right now are a couple of days after the trans i had mild cramping on and off. i also had some pain on my left ovary after yesterday's healing night prayer most of my pains have gone away. when we got out of mass a couple of hours i had a sharp pain on my abdomen for about 3-5 sec then everything went away. thanks to my prayer!!! how much bed rest have you had since the transfer? any symptons ? are you working or staying at home? we will keep you in our prayers and please keep in touch it is awesome to have support from someone that is going trough the same thing. sending you some sticky baby dust!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Bobo,
I've been down there...my brother lived in Del Rio for a few years...hot but beautiful!
I've had the same symptoms...just mild cramping for a few minutes, then gone. The embie was supposed to implant yesterday, so I am hoping last night's cramping was it...
My stomach is finally getting back to normal, after the ER, I had mild OHSS, no sickness, but MAJOR bloating, like I swallowed a football!
My DH and I both have issues, I don't ovulate regularly, no one knows why, and his sperm count is severely low (less than 300,000), also unknown why. We make a great pair!
Our MD, too, was afraid that he may not have any sperm on the day of retrieval, so he had us freeze some samples ahead of time. I remember thinking how awful that situation would be and never dreamed I would meet someone it happened to!! My heart goes out to you and your DH...
I have been laying pretty low the past 2 days, but I am off to work today...I am a District Manager, so my schedule can be what I make it pretty much. We both took Thur and Fri off, so we will be relaxing the rest of the week.
Did you have any to freeze this time?
Sticky baby dust back at ya!

hey there shep181 how was your day today take it slow at work. delrio is a couple of hours from here. yes too hot. we have had some rain that has helped. well my dh's sperm count is bad. we did have some frozen but when they thawed them there were no good. so imagine how we were. i am off for the summer i work as a kinder teacher. i always work but this year our school district was "short of funds" so they just hired about 3 teachers per school. in a way it's a good thing. i get to rest all summer. i have experienced very minor cramping today. this morning i had blood work done for my pro. levels i received a call from my dr's office that i needed to increase my pro level. she told me that "my levels were ok not to low but they want for them to increase". for me to increase pro suppositories from 2a day to 3 a day. i am also doing 1cc of shot. how much are you taking of pro? i hope that everything is fine. i do not want to worry to much of it. i had my dh research on it and he found out that in some cases it's normal. in the previous 2 ivf's my pro. levels were ok and i still got a bfn. i wonder does this have anything to do with the results of it. or better yet would you still come out pre. if pro. level is low? has anyone else gone threw this step need some advice thank!!!! shep181 we are still praying hard every night!!! keep in touch

Hi Bobo,
Only 3 days left for you!!! I am praying for a BFP for you!
I am actually a pharmacist and I know that progesterone can be a difficult drug to level...everyone is different. I am taking 1cc of the PIO every night, nothing else. The suppositories are tough, I've actually made them before and their stability is horrible! A great way to supplement your PIO though.
We will be relaxing for the next few days on the lake! I'm very excited, although I am finding it hard to rest...going nuts!!!!
Hope you're feeling well, I think the cramping is a good sign...
Have a great night and Happy 4th!
