[nickyb73]

Hello everyone. Hope all that are in 2WW are survivng.

Like rn2005 my clinic tests 14 days post ER so my beta is 8/8. Trying to keep a PMA but every ache or pain makes me wonder. Just hoping they are just due to the progesterone capsule supp.

Hoping for BFPs for everyone and looking forward to the updates.

Hi ladies, sorry I have been MIA since my ET on Sunday. I am 5 days into the two week wait!! I have been having a lot of pinching going on that do not feel like period cramp and I have been really tired so hopefully these are good signs. My doc did put me on estrogen tabs 3 times a day today and I am also on endometrim suppositories 3 times a day. I am so glad I am not on the PIO shots. They sound like hell.

BABYLOVE I am sooooo excited about your BFP. YAY!!! I hope I follow in your footsteps. Are you at SG? If all the VA/MD/DC gals get BFP we should form a little momtourage group and get together.

I was sad to find out I didn't have any frosties but my RE sounds really confident about this cycle and said they transferred two stellar embies so I will keep praying. I haven't started obsessing yet but I know I will the closer I get to next friday.

I think this is where everyone is at based on elizabeths last post. If your not on here add yourself and repost. Good luck ladies.

Venus: TOMORROW!!! YIPPEE!! Babydust Babydust Babydust
Onemorebaby and rn2005: August 7
DCDiva and nickyb73: August 8
Elisabeth, ndgo82 and Kim: August 11
JHarris and Hommy: When is yours?

Anyone else's Beta 8/6?
add me to the list

[rn2005]

Venus: good luck tomorrow....sending BFP vibes your way...I bet you aren't even going to sleep tonight! Are you feeling anything out of the ordinary? How about anyone else? I am ony 2.5 days post ET and I think it is way too early to feel anything but I was wondering when you all starting feeling symptoms (if at all).

Hi ladies.. got a call from the RE and my progesterone level was 19 soooo im on PIO and prometrium 3x a day, whatever works I guess. Ive been stressed out about my levels all day, along with the 2ww I might go insane Thanks Jharris for being there for me to gush to. My beta is 8/9 next Sat. I hope everyone is doing well and staying busy during the 2ww.

[emfossum]

Yea!!! CONGRATS babyloves on the BFP! I am so happy for you! What a wonderful day. I liked the way you described how you took the test and then watched your husband sleep. I have a similar experience when I was pregnant with my daughter. This is just the beginning of such an amazing journey for both of you. All of this excitement gets me anxious to join all of you. I am trailing behind, but I have learned so much. Thanks everyone for paving the way. I will know more tomorrow about when I to take the trigger shot.

Wishing all of you ladies the best as you come around these final laps.

Elizabeth

Hi girls,
So many thing happens this few days especially on my ET day. Out of 15 eggs they retrieved, only 9 can be fertilized. 4 good fertilized embryos and 5 embryos are of abnormal shape but then they will continue to culture it till blast if can and then freeze it. The 4 good embryos are grade 3. Our centre grading system is 1 - 5 with 1 as poor quality and 5 as the best/perfect quality. So Im actually in the middle. Today I transferred 3 embies.
After I had my transfer, received a very disturbing news regarding my family which made me cry for hours. Then later something happen with my DH family that made me cry also for hours. I feel so stress up today. Im so worried all the crying I had will distrurb the embies.
This cycle is full of unhappiness. Furthermore, my cyst is coming back....which mean I have to get pregnant as soon as possible. Im trying to stay positive and my DH has been asking me not to think too much about what had happened. Im trying to stay positive now....and really hoping for miracles.
Its really good to pen it out all my feelings and fear and thank you girls for listening. Anyway my beta test is on 18th. I just hope it will be a good news for me.

Good Friday morning ladies! Sounds like we are all eager for the 2ww to be over!! My beta is 8/8, so the list kinda looks like:

Venus, babyloves: August 1 T0DAY!!!
Antoak: August 6
Onemorebaby, rn2005: August 7
DCDiva, nickyb73, jharris12: August 8
anj: August 9
Elisabeth, ndgo82 and Kim: August 11
Hommy: When is yours?
emfossum: TBD

Are we missing anybody?

Good luck today Venus and babyloves!! And congrats babyloves on the BFP, can't wait to hear your betas today!!!

anj: No problem. Glad I could help. I'm sure your progesterone will be fine!

I am about to walk out the door, so I will do more personals later. Have a great day ladies!!

[emfossum]

Hi Hommy- Sounds like quite the emotional day...so sorry that you have to deal with so much at this time. I would suggest some deep breathing, meditation, and accepting that you cannot change what is happeniing around you. You can however find some peace in your own mind and body. I understand that stress is generally not good for pregnancy, but some levels of stress are natural especially in difficult times. It is not uncommon so just know your embies are tough and they are going to stick!! We are thinking of you and are looking forward to hearing about a BFP in the near future. Take care

[kim14]

hommy - Im so sorry - hopefully u will have some bfp news to cheer you up!!! Did you do a day 3 transfer?

I am so waiting to hear from venus and baby!!!

As fo me, havent been back to work since er last wed. Still not feeling fabulous, but now im exhausted. My guess is that its the progesterone and jsut the whole process is mentally draining!! I wish i could say I had some great prego symptoms but im just nauseaus and tired which could be anything!! Im driving my dh insane - one min im pos and one min im neg and all minutes im talking about ivf!

[jes77]

Mine is on the 12th Aug.

FET Day 4 - 4 morulas transferred on 29th July.

By the way how early I could test, as I see 12th will be 14 days post transfer..

Jes

[sweetmomi]

Jumping in.

My ER was 7/27, ET 7/30. We put back 3 grade 5 embies. Our RE grades 1-5 with 5 being excellent.

Beta 8/13. Relaxing and praying

[jharris12]

Hey everyone. Happy Friday!! Can't wait to hear from Venus and babyloves!!! Good luck ladies!!

hommy: We must have been posting the same time this morning. I am so sorry to hear how emotional the day of your transfer was. Get you some much needed rest. You deserve it.

kim14: I hate that we can't really trust any symptoms because of the PIO. And the emotional side effects from the process can drive anyone crazy!! You aren't alone, and neither id your DH!!

jes77: My beta is scheduled for 14 days after ET. But I have seen some women getting tested earlier. I'm not sure if it is different for FET though. Welcome to the 2ww!

sweetmomi: Wow!! 3 excellent embies!! Sounds like very good odds for you! Best of luck, and welcome to the dreaded 2ww with us!!

OK, here is an updated list:

Venus, babyloves: August 1 T0DAY!!!
Antoak: August 6
Onemorebaby, rn2005: August 7
DCDiva, nickyb73, jharris12: August 8
anj: August 9
Elisabeth, ndgo82 and Kim: August 11
jess77: August 12
sweetmomi: August 13
Hommy: August 18
emfossum: TBD

Have we missed anybody now? Looks like the next 2 weeks is going to be busy!! I can't wait for the BFP's to come rolling in!! I'm hanging in there on this 2ww. No real symptoms. The cramping has pretty much gone away. I have told myself that was cramping from the embies implanting! Other than that, I'm tired, and my bb's are tender, but that could be from the PIO. One week down, only one more to go!!

[kim14]

So out of our beta list - did anyone except elisabeth and I have a day 5/6 blast transfer?? Im really going to talk to my doctor next time if we get a bfn, about trying a 3 day as you get to transfer more embries and in my eyes that has to increase your odds!
