Chili- Good luck with your ER! Hoping for a bakers dozen! You'll get a full day of much needed rest and you won't even feel guilty for it. I actually don't mind the ER process. I sleep so well after getting home afterwards. My husband takes care of the dog and waits on me hand and foot. These are the perks of ER. Enjoy your day of rest and let us know how things are going.
Ann- Wow! You really went for it! I think it's great that you did 4 embies. My DH and I have talked about doing 3 if we got the chance. Four has never come up since we've never gotten more than 3 eggs resulting in 2 embies. Not sure what we would do. I think that we would do it too. My husband is an identical twin and the relationship that he and his brother share is so amazing. They are so close. It's the kind of relationship that any mother would want for her kids. Good luck on Saturday! We are all praying for you. Lots of love and baby dust to you!
Tammy- Thanks for the advice about protocol. We haven't talked with our RE about the next steps until my beta. We're trying to be positive and take it one day at a time, but I want to be prepared for choosing my options if I have any. What does your RE say about your chances of getting pregnant? I've always heard that it's easier to get pregnant the 2nd time around because your body knows what to do. I hope that you get good FSH results. In the meantime....enjoy Zach! He is such a beautiful blessing.
Renee- I know what you mean about telling people. I told a few people...maybe more than I should have when we had our first IVF. Now I try to keep it to myself unless they really need to know. Most of our close friends and family know that we're trying everything we can. They understand that we want it really bad. As for you telling your church....that's up to you. I think that maybe you should confide in one of your elders at church and let them pray for you. My husband and I did. It was such a great feeling to let it out. Ask them not to share with anyone else if you're comfortable with it. Then you have someone to talk to. God can do great things. Believe and trust in Him.
Tiger- I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling something. I actually felt something Sat night and Sunday. Not sure what they were. A weird little cramp or twinge....but not like a period cramp. I don't think that I've felt them before. I always wonder if it's my imagination. I will definitely being POAS on Monday. Maybe even Sunday because I can't seem to help myself. My husband flies to work on Monday mornings early. I feel like if I start a day or 2 in advance that I can prepare my self. I actually probably won't get a beta if my HPT are negative. I don't want to spend a $100 on a test that I know the answer. We're spending so much already. So....happy implanting thoughts for both of us!
Ryann- Cute pic! You guys look so cute together. You're so young to have to go through this. At least you're aware of how hard it can be. I wish I'd started sooner. Truth is, I never really wanted to have kids until I was 30. Even then, I was just thinking that maybe in a couple of years. Meeting my DH made me want to have kids. I never thought that I would have an issue since I am one of 7. My younger sister has 4. I have 3 sister and 3 brothers. They all have kids and their kids have kids. I wish you all the luck in the world!
Amanda- I hope you have a good trip. Enjoy time with your family!
Sher and Nancy- Welcome! You've come to the right place!
AFM- Nothing to report really. Like I was telling Tiger....I did feel some sort of something over the weekend. I hope it wasn't my imagination. I am hopeful that it's a little embie snuggling inside! Lots of love to those of you that I left out. Will catch up with you later.
*Lots of love & baby dust to all*
you're so sweet!
Big congrats you and the DH and I cant wait to see how many are in there. Its a pretty high beta so I bet Tiger is right, maybe twins. Are you doing your next beta in two days? Do you know when the ultrasound might be?
