CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! You must be on cloud 9! Merry Christmas!!!!!

Haven't had much time to post this week, so here's a quick recap:
Went in Monday morning for b/w u/s to check on the hyper stimming. B/w was good, and the fluid in my ovaries had not increased since last Friday, so that was a good sign. I've had no symptoms/episodes like I did last Thursday night, thank God! I go back in tomorrow for BETA & other b/w for OHSS, and an u/s to check on the fluid again.

:lol: DH and I both had snow days today! And what better way to celebrate than by picking up some tests at the drug store. I did it, I gave in and did the POAS & as clear as day there were two lines! BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only other time I've seen those two lines was Thanksgiving 2005, and that turned out to be a chemical pregnancy. So, we are cautiously excited about this BFP!!! Tomorrow's BETA will seal the deal!

As far as symptoms go for me, I've had some mild - dull cramping, totally feels like AF, no spotting......and my boobs have been super soar! My chest has always been on the small size, and now my boobs actually fill my bra, amazing! TMI, I know, but I had to share.

I am still in shock. I mean, total shock. I can't believe it is actually real! :D Thankfully I work for a big insurance company based in Hartford, CT so they are getting hit with heavy snow right now and most of the team I work with is heading home early. I can't concentrate!!!

My close friends who have been through this with me every step of the way are all thrilled. Everyone is so excited. It is amazing.

Thank you for your wonderful posts!!! Hopefully we have LOTS of good news coming soon!!!!!! :D

MBG!!!!
Wow!! Did our thread hit the jackpot or what?!!!! CONGRATS girl!!! I was so excited to read your post!!!! You and Tina0 both had really good numbers!

I can totally picture the scene of you breaking your cell phone when you got the news (even though I don't know what you look like!). How funny!

Even though I got the BFP on the HPT, I'm still nervous about my Beta tomorrow! I'm wondering if when I go in for the u/s to check on the hyper stim, if they'd be able to detect something...? Way too early too see a heartbeat(s), but maybe they'll be able to see the gestational sacks?? I'll keep you posted!

Oh I'm just so happy for everyone! Merry Christmas!!!!

Hi Girls! Or should I now say, Hi Mommies!

So many of you are oficially Mommies now! Yeah! But I hope that doesn't mean you're going to leave this thread!!! I definitely want updates on all upcoming beta #s, ultrasounds, etc!!! I also want all you pregnant girls to really send me some official baby vibes for my beta tomorrow :lol:

itsgottawork: You test tomorrow, right? Also, I may have started this thread, buy you girls all kept it going and have just been so awesome. Everything has been so positive!

tinaO: You're PREGNANT! Yahoo! I'm really trying not to freak out, but it's hard! But it was great to hear all that stuff your RE told you...it made me feel better :D

dancinnancy: Do you think it would help if we sang DMB tunes in our head tomorrow? I'm so glad that youre OHSS is better. Leave that all behind you!

MBG: My fellow non-POASer...Go do a digital one now just so you can see the word PREGNANT!!! You are PREGNANT! Yahoo!!!!!!! And with a 387! How awesome does that feel? Who cares about a broken phone now! Now, if only you could celebrate with a MGD...haha :lol:

Well, I've been seriously a wreck today. I haven't had anymore spotting...phew! But I've been sucking in tears all day. Also, it's now 7pm and I haven't eaten a thing. My nerves are shot. Thinking about food is making me nauseous right now...but just because of the nerves! Only 14 more hours until my beta and then the REAL waiting game begins. Pray Pray Pray for the rest of us!

Sooooo happy for all of you who are now pregnant! I can't believe it's happened for so many of you...I can only imagine how you all feel!

Love, hugs, prayers. baby dust, and sticky vibes! xoxoxoxo

Ok Girls...I'm sorry to be such a big baby today...especially when I know you are celebrating your BFPs!!!! I'm just more nervous than I've ever been before a beta test. And I don't know why. Literally, my hands are shaky, my stomach is in knots, I can't eat and I can't sit still.

So, my DH thinks we should go out right now and buy HPTs. He says if I am pregnant, it's not good to stress all night before the test. If I take the test, I will either be happy to see 2 lines or I can just cry my eyes out over a negative tonight and get it over with.

I'm leaving for the store now. Anyone have any thoughts on this???

Love and hugs! xoxoxoxo

4ourbaby -

Had I gone into work today, I think I would have been a mess too. Being home was making me stir crazy and I just had to go buy some tests! I swear they were calling my name from a few blocks away!

And yes, the DMB tunes would help! Glad you caught my little homage to Dave. DH and I have been big fans for years! We were going to shows fairly regularly, but we haven't been to a show since the summer of 2006. :(

OK girls, to those of us testing tonight...TRY to get some sleep tonight! Easier said than done, I know! I'm sure my mind will be going a mile a minute too!

4ourbaby - Oh God - now I am nervous for you!! It is too bad we don't all live in the same place where we could be there for each other at times like this instead of just via e-mail. Let us know what the test says. Now, keep in mind, that some women test negative on a HPT and still test positive with the blood test.

Good luck!!!

4ourbaby: Not sure what to tell you about the HPT....If you are that distraught it might be better to go ahead and take the test....however just remember....if it reads negative, it does not neccessarily mean it is negative...
I have a friend that lives in Atlanta that has been going through an IVF cylce right along with us...she called me on Tuesday freaking out because she started spotting....she was still spotting today and guess what...she got a BFP!! So do not worry so much about the spotting...
I am sending my positive BFP vibes your way!!!

Take a lot of deep breaths and hang in there! I know how hard it is...I have been a mess all day!!

Dancinnancy, itsgottawork and 4ourbaby: LOT's and LOT's of good vibes are being sent your way!! I wish you all the best tomorrow!!

I am beginning to get nervous all over again...I pulling for all you gals! Maybe our thread can go down into thread history as to producing the most BFP's. :D

lots and lots of hugs and kisses to all you gals!!

YIIIPPEEEE!!!!!! HORRRAAYYYYY!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: 2 BFP in one go. CONGRATULATION TinaO and MBG and your betas are very high. I am so happyyy. I was so worried for both of you last night that I pray and pray. I couldn't sleep and I have been telling my DH about all the ladies in this thread, he was as anxious as me. Both of us can't sleep. Hahahaha.....well since I am in Asia country so your good news will only be known to me in the morning. I woke up 5.30 am due to the alarm clock and of course after going to the loo I sit down in front of my computer to look for your news.

I am shouting when I saw the word BFP, and poor DH I woke him up to tell him the good news :roll: . Hahaha.....I am tempted to go for one day early which is today (12/14), but then DH is working, so I don't want him to get worried. So in the end I decided to stick to the original test date 12/15 which is on saturday (tomorrow).

4ourbaby: Remain positive girl. You can do it! I heard that spotting is common. Remember YOU ARE PREGNANT UNTIL YOU ARE PROVEN OTHERWISE!!!

For those who is going for the test tomorrow (today my time): 4ourbaby, dancinnancy, itsgotta work and JaneDoe: GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND SENDING YOU BABY PRAYERS. BFP BFP BFP

Babydust to all or you :D :D

4ourbaby - I don't know what to say. I know how hard those darn negatives are on the HPT's, but you really need to see what the b/w shows tomorrow. I am praying for you and just hoping those darn HPT's are wrong. Hang in there. We are all here for you. I meant that. Please let us know what happens tomorrow.

(((hugs))))
