hehehe Aunty, I didn't realize that so much would be going on during the transfer... mmmh I guess you're right; concentrating on my bladder will definitely make me focus a bit less on what the doctor is doing! Yet hehehe I'm sure it happened all the same! The stories I hear from friends and colleagues! :lol:

sassy from some reason I checked your pics and MY, what a LOVELY lady you are! DH not bad either! And you've travelled to so many exciting places! I envy you SO much! DH and I are planning to go on our belated honeymoon at the very beginning of May... Italy most probably. Rome is a must, but then south! Florence... *sigh* But I sure dream to go to Cairo, Japan, even Africa one of these days... I'm always a bit scared of the food, though. Not that I'm squeamish or anything, but it's more that I worry about bacterias (with my sensitive tummy) and I wouldn't want it to ruin my trip. I guess if you know where to go...

anyway... hehehe I love your enthusiasm as always! You're a dear! *hugs* Love the tank too!

sassynlv- My trigger is actual done the same as my stimming meds. So I am doing it in the belly, Is that not normal?? I am so glad though, I was not ready for the butt shots yet!

Mia- I am sorry you are having a hard time this cycle. I have everything crossed for you that this will be your time!

Aunty- OK lady, so can you believe it? I am finally here. Some days never thought it would happen. I am excited and nervous. I want to think positive but I dont want to get my hopes up too high. Good luck tomorrow and I am hoping we will be on the BFP list together soon!

Shantala, Sorry to hear you had discomfort during your mock transfer! Hope it goes better next time and I am praying that you will be starting soon!

ARitchie- Welcome, you have found the most supportive group ever to share your expirences with. I am so happy to have found this site myself and I know that we will all get through this process so much easier now that we have eachother. Wishing you the best!

PMA- Glad to hear things are going well! You are almost there. I know how you felt when they upped your meds at first. When they didnt up mine I was concerned because I did not have many follies over 10mm. I think it is normal for the worry and second guessing as we want this to process to bring us the one thing we want the most and we want to be sure that we are going to suceed. Way to go with being at the half way point. I know mine follies are growing like crazy!

Thanks to all you ladies for all your support and shared excitement for my EC on Thursday. I can not wait to see what is going on in there. I feel pregnant already because of the full feeling I have!! I know that I will be calling on you all on my 2WW because as Aunty knows by now I am not a very patient person even though I do try hard. So some days I may need so extra TLC from you all as I know I will be going OUT OF MY MIND.

Talk to you all soon
Erin

Hi SS,
I'm doing great my AF came today not sure if its late or early now as they have really messed with my body this cycle but it's here ...hope it doesn't last long as I'm about to start my stimms and i want a nice big home for my embies :wink:

Sophie OMG im sure someone at sometime must have had an accident, I have to say last time was my fault you' think I'd know better, my babysitter(embryologist) says to think about it like imagine your on a drive you need the loo,now if you see a sign that says toilets 5 miles or 25 miles if you could wait for the second one your bladder is full enough if you'd have to go at the 5 mile one your bladder is too full....
I normally have a laugh with my Dr but i told him to shhh or id pee on him...LOL

love to all Aunty...got to go finish my ironing (I'm sure it's mating i don't remember washing that much)

Ladies....

I have to comment on the full bladder during ET. Never in my life have I been in such pain. I clearly drank too much water. When they called me from the waiting room, I couldn't even stand up straight. When I got on the table and they started the sono, all 3 nurses and the dr. all said at the same time..."oh my god, look at the size of her bladder!" They asked if I wanted to let some out, but was afraid once I started, I'd never stop so I stayed put. Once they were done after about 10 minutes, while in a full sweat from the pain in my bladder, my dh who is so not an alarmist went running out of the room to get a nurse and begged her to do something for me. They let me go to the bathroom as long as I didn't push. Push??? That wasn't going to be a problem as soon as I even saw the toilet, I practically wet myself. The full bladder apparently helps tip the uterus for the ET. Lesson learned for this go around, I will drink 1/2 of what I drank. Good news was in spite of how tense I probably was because of the pain, I still was able to get pregnant. Just thought I'd share. :P

Welcome Ang... I'm Ange too and there's an Angie too!

Aunty... good luck with your u/s tomorrow! My AF stopped as soon as I started stimms.

Erin... good luck on you EC, I'm rooting for you! Can't wait to hear how many follies you get. My trigger is in my butt too (that sounds weird). This week I have 2 shots of estrogen that go there as well. Actually waiting for DH to get home so he can give it to me. Poor butt!

Sassy... you pics are amazing! You've certainly travelled the world. Loved the tank too.

Mia... you need to put up the shit shield! Sorry you're having a hard time.

Sophie... I think last go around I triggered after my 4 U/S in the same week. Glad they increased your meds. I guess there's a reason they monitor us so closely. You reminded me to call my pharmacy today to order refills for some of my meds. Thank you!!

For everyone else... thinking of you and praying for lots of sticky baby dust, many many follies and embies, little side effects on meds and all those on 2WW, hope it goes fast for you.

hugs,
Ange

Ems1971, there is nothing to worry about, even two is great! And of course you are correct, one is the magic number :D

Charlie78, other than the unsual circumstance after, it really was not that bad. Let’s just put it this way… If I could have that relaxed feeling all of the time, I would be a junkie! Lol

Macca8, just be positive and things will go your way. One thing that I am really learning through out this whole process is that the more stressed I allow myself to get, the worse any news is, but when I expect little or nothing, I am usually pleasantly surprised. As always, I will continue to pray [HUG]

Beachbaby, when I learned that a few did not survive the night I was sad, but I hope that no matter what is supposed to happen, I will find the strength to remain positive. In or out, they are little parts of me that I do miss, even though with them gone, I am peeing less… lol.

Shantala, I am glad everything went well today for you!

Tcbalgord, thank you for sharing. I actually learned today that it may be a little more common than the Dr. originally thought. But he recommended that I see a high risk OB if/ when we get pregnant.

Sassynlv, I had to smile when you spoke about the lullaby it does seem like they are little babes in a nursery of a sort. ;)

Fed7281, Thursday is right here!! Congrats and I hope you get tons of healthy eggs! But no the HCG goes in your abdomen… the progesterone goes in your bum.

Hopeful-in-LV, 14 is great! Just think positive thoughts! I will pray for you. It does sound like your step-sister may have been in competition with you, but do not let her get you down, it seems like she may have self esteem issues, “has been in 2 prior relationships where she was really hoping to have a baby with them but that never worked out”

ARitchie, welcome! I hope all goes well with your ET.

Ange, poor thing, well you at least got some practice for what it is going to be like with your soon coming baby belly!

My update is we had 2 abnormal embryos that were discarded, 2 that were dark and died, so we are down to 17 and on Thursday we will find out if we do the ET on Thursday or Saturday.

I had the most delicious sushi today! I was actually thinking this may be my last time eating sushi for awhile. so I guess I still have some optimism. :)

RE called to tell me the status of my embies. We have 8 that are 8 cell, 1 that is 7 cell, the rest were a little smaller. so it looks like we have about 9 good contenders. RE said he thinks we'll probably have to transfer on Fri instead because they may not be ready by Thurs. Hmmm would there be a timing issue? Not sure, but I was supressed with Lupron instead of BCP, so maybe it's not a problem.

Thanks ladies for your supportive words on the subject of my step sister. I just wish her babies well because they are part of life and my family now and I hope they will be healthy and happy. I'm sure my step sister will be a good mom too. Doesn't make me feel better about it, but I'll stick to my motto which is "whatever!"

Cookholmes,
you may have a point. didn't think of it that way. she has always been the competetive overachiever type as long as I can remember. I can see how someone with such high goals and needs may have self esteem issues over her relationship issues. So now that she is PG I don't have her competetion vibes in my way. I guess it's better that way. oh and congrats on 17 embies! excellent number! I may transfer on fri instead of thurs. we will test around the same time, yeah!

Fed,
good luck with the trigger shot. I'm so excited for you. hope you get tons of eggies!

ange,
Sorry you had such a painful ET. I've seen women crying right before ET because they drank too much. i'm sure it was extrememly hard.

jema, wow your on your way again! best of luck to you!

Aunty, the day is near! You've been so patient. This is going to be the one, i know it!

Sassy,
uh oh, I didn't get your PM... :? hoping you got a good embie report today!
