Dakota - I totally understand on the falling asleep issue, I cannot keep my eyes open at work past about 1PM! I have also found it incredibly hard to keep focused at work these past couple of weeks, and I'm assuming that's not going to change for the next 9 months :) Beta#1 was 11dp3dt, Beta#2 was 13dp3dt, and Beta#3 was 18dp3dt. DH and I are really hoping for twins, then we'll be done :) I am so excited about next week, it's absolutely killing me to wait another week!!! It's like the darn 2ww all over again.

turtles - I did AP during my 1st IVF cycle and they also used electricity. I was totally freaked out the first time, waiting to be totally shocked, but after that I just fell asleep. You're making me more sleepy just talking about it and then adding a massage, mmmm, I'm in heaven :)

Mztia - I'm glad you are able to try again so soon - I hope it goes better for you this time around without the repronex. I'm sure if you had a dodgy reaction to it that def. can't have helped. I'll be waiting to hear your BFP!

Turtles - that sounds lovely! I didn't do acu, but wish that I had been able to. I read some studies that show it really does increase the blood flow to the ovaries, which of course helps them work better and grow more eggies!

Thanks for checking on my POAS saga guys! It is still going, and I did a little study myself and changed to a regular HPT this morning instead of one of the 5 day early ones, and it was still +ve!!! Yay, so at for now all is good - come on Friday!!

Blimey Dakota, you really have got pregnant! I am so chuffing (very english northern expression) pleased for you. My best friend had twins through IVF and she had a lovely huge bump full of babies - they are gorgeous and yes keep her busy. Make sure you really rest and take things easy.

Jude7702 - Glad to hear your POAS mission is going to plan. You must be so excited.

Cwrjoo - Thank you for your very lovely words. Good luck with your scan tomorrow - will be thinking of you.

MzTia - see you on the August/sept thread for a BFP!

Jude - I'd say if your POAS have been positive this early on, that's an excellent sign and I'm expecting a nice high beta :) Can't wait to hear on Friday!

Neffi - Good luck tomorrow, can't wait to hear if you're joining the twins club :) My 3 beta's were pretty high, so RE said he didn't need to see another one before my u/s, which is next Wednesday.

Neffi- patiently awaiting for your u/s report :lol:

Angram- you have to be going out of your mind already??? :P

Adsgirl- When is your next beta?

Cwrj- I hope all goes well with your u/s today and you get to see and hear those little hearts beating away.

To all the ladies that moved onto Jul-Sept threads and still being so kind into checking up on us, I hope all is well with you and things are moving forward as planned.

Jude- Is it Friday yet????

Jude - You're waiting is killing me!! Can't believe it's still two more days! the POAS results really help, though, huh? Can't wait to hear your beta numbers in a few days!

Neffi & crwj - Can't wait to hear your U/S reports! It will be so exciting for you both to see your little beans on the big screen! Congrats!

Dakota - My next beta is tomorrow...I'm going in the afternoon, but I'll get in just in time so that I can still get my results same-day. :) How are you doing?? Feeling ok?

MzTia - Glad they identified the Repronex change for your next cycle...it sounds like that will hopefully make a big difference on your next cycle. When are you getting started again?

Turtles - I am SO glad you will be doing AP this cycle! I truly believe it helped me. I only had electro-AP on one visit, but it was no biggy...just helps stimulate blood flow and tissues. It's actually similar (in a much milder form) to electro therapy I had when I had knee surgery...that s**t hurt! Anyway - the massage and pampering sound awesome, too! I haven't had a massage in ages!

Angram - What day is your U/S next week? I know what you mean about hoping for twins. My DH and I are hoping for twins, too. My first beta was not anywhere as high as some of the ladies with twins, though...we'll see what happens tomorrow. I did have a single clot, not really accompanied by other bleeding, I wonder if that could have been one of my embies after trying to implant and dislodging? I hope not...I keep thinking about it, though. Anyway - I'm very excited for your U/S next week...I can't imagine the anticipation you must be feeling! Take it easy and try t enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend!

Rubylee and Jharris - Thanks for the messages...glad to know you all are still with us!

AdsGirl - My u/s is next Wednesday morning, so just 6 more full days of waiting :) I don't really know anything about bleeding, so I really hope that wasn't your other little embie. I've seen some women on here with extremely high betas and only have one and others with really low betas that have twins, nothing is easy and obvious in this journey :) Good luck on your 2nd beta tomorrow!!

Dakota - I'm totally going out of my mind :lol: I was telling DH about your u/s yesterday and how close our beta's are to one another, so we're praying for a healthy heartbeat next week and also hoping for 2 :)

Neffi - OK, we're ready to hear about your beautiful bean!

Hello Ladies!

I saw my baby today! It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! I cried....alot! I couldn't help myself, it was such a great day! Dh and I are so happy! Things are finally starting to seem real! We saw the heartbeat....151bpm! I go back in 2 weeks for another u/s then I will be released to my OB. I am so overjoyed! I also started to feel crappy today. I am light headed and nauseous. It lasted from like 9-3 now I feel fine, but I am so tired. Anyway thanks to everyone for all the support! I will be checkin in!


Cwrj00-- waiting to hear your u/s news!

Wow guys, everything is going great!

Congratulations Neffi, that must have been just wonderful. I am so pleased for you! I bet you can't stop looking at the ultrasound picture, that's so exciting to have one! It must seem more real with that. Yay!!

Angram
- I hope the time goes by quickly for you!

Adsgirl - Maybe the one spot of bleeding was the implantation bleeding from one of them? I didn't have any spotting at all, and something's going on in there (!) so you could definitely have one that didn't spot when it implanted as well - I can't believe you go for your second beta tomorrow!! That's great, and hoping for BIG numbers for you!!!

Well, I feel like I'm stuck in groundhog day or something, every day I get up and POAS and wait without looking at it for a minute or two while panicking, then look, and feel inordinately relieved and happy cos it's still +ve, then do the whole work and life thing, PIO shot, go to bed early cos I'm knackered and can't wait to wake up and POAS again :shock: Dakota - I have enough sticks to last tomorrow morning, and then I'm going to go and buy one of the ones that says prego or not, for Friday morning! I might save it til after the beta, I have been freaking out that the lines take longer to come up or aren't so dark as they were - I just couldn't bear to come so close and then for it not to work now.
