Jan/Feb 08 Cycle Buddies

[waitingforMia]

Weezie, I checked out that site but didn't really understand it And I need to check what my trigger was... Man I was soo strong... but there are just soooo many BFPs, and I want a bfp tpp! NOW! lol!

PS Weezie: How are ya'll gonna celebrate!!?

[TammyS]

Asd far as the HCG trigger....as long as you are 11 days past trigger....then there wont be any HCG left in you. They say 10 days...I would go 11 to be sure. 11 days past trigger is still too early to test, though. So HCG shouldnt even be a factor. You should wait till 13 days past ovulation (which is 15 days past trigger) use a poas. Hope that helps.

I think I am 17dp trigger, b/c I am 15 dp ER... Thanks Tammy

Weezie:

I am so excited for you! Congrats - I hope we both have twinsies!!! I am speechless! I am just so happy!

Mia- stay strong! No POAS, only 2 more days and you will know for sure! It will be your V-day BFP!
Hopin- sorry to hear about your flu, I hope you feel better!
Tammy - your aunty doing ok? How about you and DH?
Sage 3 is great - keep the PMA - are you transfering all 3?
kildean - Don't POAS - stay strong!
Me - I am starting to feel a little better, the 8 inches on my waist was the change from before starting stimms so my belly is still big, I haven't been going up and down in weight too much so I think it might just be the stimms and PIO. I am really moody today. I have been exhausted but other than that no other symptoms, which is driving me crazy cause I still need to wait 1 week for the first u/s, praying for twinsies! I loved getting the betas and seeing progress but having to wait this next week is hard!
I am so excited about all the BFPs this has to be a record for all posts - what lucky months, all of us will be in the Oct 08 bump buddies!!!

[Sage]

MIA- Are you going to POAS??? Keep us posted if you do.

If I still have 3 on Thursday I will transfer all 3. I just hope that I still have 3. I think I am going to call the lab this afternoon for an update.

[RBJean]

Weezie: CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is such incredible news! Twins would be so wonderful. I'm very happy for you.

Sage: Try to keep a PMA. We were told on day 2 after ER that only 1 egg had fertilized but that it was in good condition. then we we showed up to ET, we had 3 embies to transfer, 2 were just a little slow, but otherwise in good condition. We transferred all 3 to up our chances. I'll be thinking of your little fighters. 3 is still quite a lot of embies!!

Hopin: Sorry to hear you had the flu. But on the bright side, your beta's look wonderful. I can't wait to hear if you're having twins or triplets

Libby: Congrats on your BFP!! Looks like the luck of the board rubbed off on you. A line is a line!

Mia and Kildean: Hang in there. You've been strong and you're almost there!

KYW: Good luck on your ET tomorrow! Once the valium kicked in for me I was completely relaxed, which meant my brain wasn't working the best, so I didn't ask a lot of questions. Fortunately, they gave us discharge instructions with most of the basic info in there. Take it easy after ER!

Tammy: Hope you are able to get some rest. I think we're all entitled to some volatile emotions rights now. the good part is yours are probably less from the drugs and more due to your BFP!!

Rio: Glad to hear you are feeling a little better.

Marin: Let us know how ET went. How many did you transfer! You had 6 great ones to choose from, so hopefully you were able to freeze some!

I'm on my last day of rest until going back to work tomorrow. I took a little extra time off since we did a 3-day transfer (not because the doc told me too, just because I'm overly cautious). I'm very sensitive to every twinge right now. I have been feeling a sporadic twinge in the same spot since yesterday and I am hoping it's a sign of implantation.

Hi to everyone.

Well my follies are 13 1/2mm. As long as they dont leak or multiply further im looking at having ER Monday. Unfortunately being that there are so many, they will definately have to be frozen until things have calmed down.
Which i am gutted about because you are all on such a roll here with your BFPs i wanted to be one of you. This is a lucky board. I just want to thank everyone for there kind words & wish everyone luck

Happy Tuesday!
I had an estradial test this morning and they just called to tell me that my count was high at 703. Anyone know what that means? I dont know much about estradial counts.
Thanks

[Sage]

Well I called the lab...they won't look at the embryos again until Thursday morning. They said that they don't want to disturb them in the incubator. The embryologist did say that she thought that they would all make it to Thursday and the they were 2pn??? What does that mean???

[waitingforMia]

Sage: I am not sure what 2pn means?? But if the embryologist said they'd make it Thursday then just sit back and relax

Cooking: 703 sounds good. I think mine was 2000 by the time they did ER. They just don't want it to get too high like 3000 b/c then there is a risk of OHSS.

Dawn: ER on Monday Sorry you have to wait to complete the IVF, but it sounds smart for them to give you some time to heal from producing all those follies. I know this board is on a role huh??

RBJEan: Glad you were able to take some time off. i am not working but on Saturdays and it has been nice resting and not having any stress!

Rio: Yep the Oct Bump Buddy Board will be overflowing!! But I don't like that temporary thread that is started. Come VDAY I might be starting the official thread

I made an official decision to not POAS. I am happy about the decision and will just be patients until Thursday gets here. I am sooo happy for all you BFPers!!!

[weezie]

Sage- 2pn is "something nuclei" I'm sorry I can't remember the exact term. Maybe Positive Nuclei. I just woke from a nap and I can't think of it. Your embryologist is just like mine. They fertilize and check on day 1 and day 3 only. But I remember in my teaching visit the nurse said 2pn is how they determine whether the egg and the swimmer have come together to form an X and a Y, or whatever chromosomal make up the embie will have. 2pn is great!

Mia- I am proud of your executive decision not to POAS. However, once this decision is made you cannot back out. Are you sure???LOL I'm really proud of you for standing strong. Way yo Go!!!

Cooking- you E2 is one of the ways they monitor your stimming. What day of stimming are you? Seems like you will be a quick responder.

dawn- don't fret. You are still a part of this board. Didn't you know that the baby dust we have floating around here doesn't expire? It stays with you unitl after ET. Here, let me throw a little bit more your way.


RBjean- glad you are still resting. That's so important. Just don't over do it at work.


Tammy- I am 15dpo. I sent you a pm, but i have since figured it out.

I want to thank everyone for sharing in my excitement. It's so lonely when you have no one physically to hug or jump for joy with. Your support means a lot to me. Okay, I know that sounds sappy.....It's the damn patches making me an emotional wreck. But I do appreciate ya'll.

[waitingforMia]

Yeah Weezy I was thinking about that - But you will be doing some STRONG hugging on your bday :0) So happy for you!!

I went ahead and ordered this shirt that says Dad-To-Be from this fantastic site: http://www.cafepress.com/buy/pregnancy/ ... _bSH_P___D They have IVF shirts and bibs really cute. Any way the shirt is supposed to get here on Vday (but I am doubting it since that is a busy mail day). But the plan is I will wrapit up and give it to him instead of just telling him Staying posititve here - and away from hpts! Thanks girls for your support!
