Holy moly I cannot even begin to express my excitement over that phone call!!!!!!!!!! I go for a lining check on 11/29 for a transfer date of 12/3. I am thanking my lucky stars!!!!!!!!!!!!
you already knew. I think you are right about easing it with POAS. Enjoy a glass of wine for me. I know you are eager to start again but have you considered waiting 3 mos and doing DHEA? I swear by this thing now. Wishing you all the best! HUGE HUGS! I know everyone is different but in this protocol and with DHEA I got 14 eggs out of 14 follies and the max eggs I ever got was in my #1 in 2008 and it was 7. My RE did antagonist but added Femara... maybe your RE can tweak things a bit?

Lauren...It is a huge sign of pregnancy. Question for you....did you feel crappy after ER, then got a little better, then got worse again? That is a huge marker for pregnancy. Did you poas this morning?
Rio...Hope to hear good news about your little guy...let us know when you hear.
AFM: I know my body well. Beta = 1.0...which is very negative. First, I ripped off 3 bandaids since they had to poke me 3 x's for blood today! Grrr!!! Then, I ripped off my estrogen patches. And, now I am enjoying a glass of wine.
POAS may not be for everyone, but for me...it slowly over 3 days...got me in the right mindset for the bad news. I dont regret it one bit. Had I waited till Tuesday to hear the nurse say, "I'm sorry"...it would have been much much worse for me.
On to my next cycle. AF will be here Tuesday. Please move me back to "Waiting for AF"...Thanks Amanda.
I just got an email that said our little embryo did not "meet the criteria to freeze" so he is gone. I feel really weird and crying. We always put them all in and I felt weird leaving one there and poor guy not making it. Call me crazy emotional but I am really sad for our one little guy... I know - I am officially in Crazytown here crying for my embryo I left behind... What a wonderful phone call that must have been! This is such awesome news for you, I couldn't be happier for you and your DH! 100% preggo bridal party, HERE YOU COME!!! Being preggers really limits treatment options though... maybe a homeopathic technique like rubbing oatmeal all over yourself??? j/k 
I hope you feel better ASAP! You'll be getting that BFP before you know it!!! 
Enjoy that glass of wine (or 2, or 3... or a whole bottle), you sure deserve it after all you've been through! You're in my thoughts and prayers. This coming cycle will be MUCH better, I'm sure of it. 
Good news is, the pain seems to be getting quite a bit better already. Hopefully by this time next week I'll be fit as a fiddle and able to go on a few walks a week to stay in some kinda shape 
. Anyways, the nurses would make the same statements as you are getting, that this was a great sign that I was pregnant and if I was indeed pregnant, unfortunately there was nothing that could be done outside of waiting it out by getting plenty of rest, drinking plenty of water, and increase my sodium intake. I did become pregnant and was soooooo miserable for about 4 weeks in total with no pain relief until the last day or two, when it just all of a sudden subsided. Shortly after, I had my ultrasound and we found two healthy heartbeats and all has been well since. When I was released to my regular OB at 9weeks we discovered that I had a remaining 7cm cyst on my ovary that the ob said should go down as I enter the 2nd trimester, but a little concerning b/c it was so huge. I just had my 15.5w checkup last Mon and the cyst had nearly resolved and is broken down into 2 tiny ones that are more normal at this stage of pregnancy. I'm currently 17w1d with boy/girl twins and though the OHSS (which they called mine moderate also) was nearly unbearable, it is a thing of the past and so far, it was worth it. All that to say, it doesn't help right now with the pain, but could definitely be a good sign of pregnancy. baby_blu - one night I was so desperate I put oatmeal in water, got it all mushy and rubbed it all over my torso then wrapped myself in wet paper towels. DH probably thought I'd lost my mind as I walked around the house in that lovely outfit. But after about 20 minutes, I'd scratched through all the paper towels so my outfit was shortlived. With the ointment, I've already gone over an hour without scratching -that's a record compared to the last few weeks!baby_blu73 wrote:Amanda - You must have been posting when I was typing... Ointment is waaaaaaay better than oatmeal!
