Jomae - I didn't have any pain in my colon the first time around or this time. I did feel a lot of pain in my lower back and of course the ovaries and tummy. IGlad AF came along and things moved up a bit earlier for you.
Neffti - I'm glad those levels are falling. I remember that happened to me in July and like you, we waited and the came down in about a week i think. Soooo glad that you get to to do the shared risk program. Nobody needs to worry about that part when doing IVF, its a big stresser all by itself!
LB - Oh sweetie, so glad that you got to transfer your precious bean. How are you feeling?
MLB - We are in the same boat. I am praying to have a couple of frosties. Last IVF, we had 5 embies (just like you). We transferred 3 and we were able to have 1 frostie. So don't give up hope....you can have 5 perfect embies there. And WE all know, it only takes one but I kinda like to have a back up plan too
Michele - Awesome..two beautiful embies put back. Praying so hard for them to stick. And I love the pictures that they give you before transfer. I still have mind from the first IVF. You and DH are in my thoughts.
Tali - Goes without saying, but please take care in the snow. Here is something for you to laugh about. I am in Atlanta and everyone is complaining because we just hit the 40s...so you see I come from a long line of wussies
Esperanza - Tell DH I was petrified when I got my big box of meds too, and I knew what was coming. How did the shots go? Thanks for updating me on the list.
As for me, I am feeling much better today. Still a little crampy though. ET is tomorrow morning at 10:30. Hopefully, they are still busy dividing like good little embies should do for mommy. I did my first PIO shot. Like true wussie fashion, I got a prescription from my RE for EMLA, numbing cream. I slap some on and cover it for an hour. DH does all the sticking, in my bum, and then I put the heating pad on and rub it in. I also let the PIO sit out for at least 15 for room temperature. Didn't feel nothing...mission accomplish. Seems a bit much but I'm kinda sick of being a pin cushion.
To all the rest of the ladies, hope time is moving swiftly for you and I can't wait to cheer you on. Snuggle up to those in the north!
Baby dust and sticky vibes to us all
, that was a shock for me since during my last ivf cycle 12 out of 16 were. i was also really bummed when they told me that 3 looked good and 1 looked average (scaling is: grade, good, average, poor); they ended up transferring 4; last time they also transferred 4 with one being a grade and 3 being good and none of them made it. the doctor on the other hand was very positive, saying he thinks it will work out this time (he also thought that last time), but i am not sure, perhaps they all just say that, to make us feel better. i don't know, what do you girls think? sorry to be so down right now, but i just really want this to happen, especially since i just found out that my 40 year old neighbor just got pregnant. why can't it happen to me?? 
again, i am sorry to be so down, but i'll probably be better tomorrow.
