Good morning beautiful ladies!

Lara: oh you're so cute! They're getting acquainted with their new home! :D I love the image! Thanks for your nice wishes!

Macca: WOW! That's wonderful news! CONGRATULATIONS sweetie! You're right, your father must be watching over you, and I bet he's really proud! I'm sure he will be protecting those beautiful seeds of life inside you!

Aunty: thanks for the kind words! And now we'll think of our uteruses as pea and honey sandwiches! yummy! LOL on the yoga pants! I bet your DH would love the pink G-string with "sushi" written on it that I saw at the store the other day! ;) Good luck for your EC today; I'm thinking of you! I'm so sorry that you got such bad news about your follies... I'll be anxiously waiting for news... hang in there sweetie...

CINNY: the waiting sucks but at least the news is good! Keeping everything crossed with you! GOOD job on getting those numbers down, you must be so relieved! I'm happy for you sweetie! Go girl! Get those beautiful eggs out!

tcbalgord: thank you so much for your reply! You know how good it feels in this crazy ride to be told "good job honey" from time to time! *HUGS*

sassy: sweetie... I really, really feel for you. If you knew how disappointed I am! This was such a crazy ride this time that you deserved to receive news that would make it all worth it! It's really too bad that it doesn't work that way... it's horrible that you received the news at work and had to stay there for two more hours. I really don't know what to say, other than I hope life will provide you with its own way to fulfill your heart's desire. *hugs* Hang in there darling.

beachbaby: thanks for your nice reply darling! :) Warmed my heart! Yeah, I worked in the afternoon and evening yesterday (so normal day). Honestly, the one thing that made me hesitate was not the presence of my little treasures, but the pain! ;) I'm a psychologist, so basically, it's not that much of a stressful job and I'm sitting all the time. All studies show that bed rest after ET does not impact the pregnancy rates. Eating my dinner lying on the floor on my back with my feet up a chair was quite acrobatic though, LOL, but it was for the good cause (Progesterone) and it seemed to help the pain in my back in addition! ;) Congratulations on getting your ET on Wednesday! Whoohoo! Tomorrow your little monsters will be back home!

cookholmes! ACK on the wait! But hey, it was worth it!! CONGRATULATIONS sweetie, I'm SO happy for you! Doing the happy dance with you! Hey don't worry about the numbers per se... remember the chart Aunty posted. It can really really range... enjoy the next 8 months darling!

emp: sorry you succumbed to the evil HPT... hard to fully believe it means nothing, but it's the case darling. It means NOTHING! Friends of mine had to wait until day 40 or even 50 of their period to get a BFP on their HPT and believe me, they're due this month or in March. Hang in there darling!

Ange: ooooooh not fair! You just gave me a big heart attack! :D Never heard of embies with 9-10 cells on day 3?? The clinic told me they did not transfer embies that are below 8 cells... so I guess it's not that rare...? Awww... you just tempt me to think my embies are really strong!

SilvaCharm: I'm so sorry your clinic is causing you to worry darling girl! If they tell you everything's okay, though, it's because it is. I doubt they would lie to you.

ems: LOL CONGRATULATIONS sweetie! See, that pinkish spotting wasn't so evil after all! Enjoy the next 8 months!

Shantala: my 2ww is good, thanks for asking! Seeing all the other women react here during theirs taught me many lessons. I'm now totally wired to wait until that blood test no matter what happens. As for the waiting, well... it might sound strange for some of you guys, but I already consider myself pregnant. I want to enjoy that time I have with my little treasures. I behave like they're going to stay, and well... if it's only a 2 week pregnancy, so be it. But I will enjoy those two weeks of pregnancy all the same. That's how I cope with the 2ww so far.

And sweetie, you're so sweet! Your hubby is lucky to have you, you know! Don't feel guilty about work; it will still happen even if you're not there and the last thing you want to do, believe me, is to work yourself to exhaustion. Those meds will soon be causing impressive fatigue, so save as much energy as you can. And give your DH a big hug for me! How long will they keep him in the hospital?

Welshgirl: (still resisting the urge to type bugger... lol!) Aw, darling, your posts cheer me up each time! Thanks so much for your beautiful energy; it's warming a very very cold day here in Montreal! I'll ask the question again; what makes you think that 9 and 10 cells is particularly good? Yup, trying to rest despite busy days as always.... but in a happy mood! How are you doing? Good luck for your apt tomorrow sweetie! Thinking of you!

Fed: there's nothing wrong with you hunny! As long as the second line is there, it's okay! Your urine will change during the day, and from day to day. It just means that the test is not 100% reliable (and you know it's the case) and that your urine, as in every human, changes! So please don't fret and don't waste your money on too many digital tests! Those are expensive! :D

Well, as for me ladies, everything is much better now. The pain was really a bummer but it seems to have subsided a great deal during the night. I slept my first uninterrupted night in ages (if you don't count the progesterone call at midnight... but I had to, because of the time the ET took place), which is amazing.

I totally see what you guys mean about the cramps that Progesterone creates. I feel bloated and a bit cramped as if I was about to have my period, but I know it's simply because I made a beautiful home for my little monsters to snuggle in. I do have minor cramps in my ovaries or uterus, but it's fine. It just doesn't compare to the last few days since EC. I couldn't be happier about that.

I don't remember who told me about her DH's reaction during the transfer, but hehehe, mine was pretty standard. To him, the pregnancy is still not real, and the embies are still just a bunch of cells. He said he'll consider me pregnant when we get that BFP from the clinic. It clashes with my own view of things, as you'll see in the reply I gave to Shantala, but well... I can't force him to think like I do, can I? It's okay; I'm used to be the dreamer around here! ;)

Gotta go! Have my lunch and dinner to prepare, then it's private practice in one office, then acupuncturist, then private practice in another office... and then a nice lukewarm herbal bath and my bed! ;)

Take care ladies, and have a wonderful day! I'll check for news all day, especially from Aunty, phx, faithful and Tony!

Sophie, I thought I would pass this on to you to help give your PMA a little kick. My clinic told me that on the day of your ET they consider you pregnant. When you wake up and are ready to leave they even congratulate you. This goes with my fame of mind and so I glad that they told me that.

Keep up with the good PMA sweetie, got everything crossed for you.

PMA:

Just a quickie hun (lol) 9 cell and 10 cell are fantastic divide rates, my two wee ones had only divided by 2cell on a 3day transfer, so ur's are growing really quickly (thats good) mind u, with a 2cell u can still get a BFP - look at our Ems (im still on cloud 9 about that, and even txt my DH at work to let him know lol) so PMA dont be worrying, u have a excellant chance of becoming a big fattie with ur wee ones on board :wink: an embie is an embie, is an embie - they are ALL viable (Aint that right Ems :D )

WOW CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE BFP'S THERE ARE TOO MANY TO LIST THAT IS WONDERFUL!!!!
AUNTY I am praying for you to have a great day and get lots of eggs!!!
To everyone else YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS!!!
As for me, I had a huge scare that is still not completely over!, My numbers looked so badly on Sat that we thought we were going to have to cancel, but I went in on Mon and I had one follie on left that went from 9.7mm to 15.7mm and there were about 6 or 7 follies on the right, 4 of them at least at 11mm so we are going to proceed, I have to stay on follistim for a few extra days my E2 numbers are still low 292 on day 10, but Dr said my uterine lining looks great, he hopes to do ER this weekend or maybe Mon, not for sure I have to go back 2morrow and retest again to see if follies are doing any better, Dr thinks we might be able to get at least 8 follies.
My biggest fear is that I will be dropped by share risk because of poor response to med, that would be the worst, cause if I don't get preg on this try then I will be lost. I hate this cause I have been so calm through everything knowing that I had 5 more chances, now I am so nervous, but trying to keep PMA the best that I can.
HOPES AND PRAYERS TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!!

mominwaiting - hold on remember it only takes one hugs to you

beachbaby - good luck for tommorow

emp - hang in there like everyone had said it could still be to early hugs to you

pmapsy - i adimire your streghnth during this wait i to considered myself pregant during my 2ww even though it was only for 2wws it helped me stay strong good luck im keeping my fingers crossed for your BFP

as for me not much to tell really my mam got another dog at the weekend it was to much for her not having one the house was too quiet without my little zena. Kina feel a little bit guilty so soon after but the vet advised us to get another dog straight away to ease the pain. But she by no means forgotten. The new dog is kinda cute she is called cassie and is 6 years old my mam didnt want a puppy as she would have to house train her and she is not very good on her legs at the min. She is a very friendly dog and certianly made herself at home lol will be posting pics of her on my space shortly.

I myself am waiting to here about some jobs i applied for. The closing dates were lst wk so im hoping and praying that i get to here about at least one. Think im gonna go mad if dnt get a job soon. There is only so many times you can watch charmed box set lol.

Im getting very inpatiant for my IVF start, coming on here and seeing you lovely ladies getting so many BFPS i cnt wait to get started i feel like im in limbo at the min. I keep praying for a natural BFP but it just doesnt seem to be happening I wish we had some idea why, so we could do something about it. Anyway sorry for the moan its just things dont seem to be changing here and i could do with a bit of good news rather than all the bad ive had recently
But hey what is it they say theres light at the end of the tunnel !

Well im of to the gym to chill out well kinda lol

baby dust you all
love
mom20

MIW: hang in there! I am so glad to hear that you weren't canceled.. and that they are thinking 8 follicles. Fingers crossed for you!

Shantala: i am with tc... no worries on the list. You have PLENTY on your plate, and sounds like you will for a bit more time. I am sorry dh still so sick. I am VERY glad to hear, though that you are doing some things to take care of yourself, too (i.e., taking off work)... the other things can wait.

EMS: holy freak!!!!! AHHHHH what great news! Brava!

Sophie: glad to hear you are doing so well. Have you heard of PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise)? Yep, that's what you are! And as far as i am concerned, that is what the 2ww is all about! I truly savored my last few hours of being pupo yest!

mom20: hoping that one or more of those jobs come through for you!!! AND, hoping your wait goes quickly. Doesn't it feel like all we ever do anymore is wait????

Welshgirl: gl on appt tomorrow. I hope they have good news for you!

empmtb: ooooo girl, hang in there. Torture, no? But what the girls are saying, i concur. you can't rule it out yet (yes, i am aware i am being a total hypocrite :roll: ... please forgive me). I know how hard this must be for you, and i am hoping that tomorrow comes quickly.

SC: ahhhh, this whole process is so cruel. I am hoping that all is well, and that they are just keeping a close eye on you! if i am right, your last beta was 127, right? So i am thinking that looks good. Wishing you peace.

AZkiwi: i'm sorry, i must have missed your questions. I have always done medicated cycles, and have stimmed from 9-11 days before trigger, depending on the cycle.

Aunty: gnawing my fingernails off here... but i imagine you have yet to leave the clinic. Hoping you are resting well under the influence of nice, happy drugs.

Now, girls... i am thinking we hit some sort of a record. FOUR BFPs (or did i lose count?) in 24 hrs on this thread.... that MUST be some sort of a forum record!

To all the 2ww'ers (aka PUPOs)... wishing you all the patience in the world!

Thanks for all your well wishes. Fantastic sushi, a nice long chat w/dh, a big diet coke, a long conversation w/bf (who happens to be therapist--- free therapy :D ) and a chocolate satin pie from marie callendars did the trick. A mtg w/RE and 90 min massage (from the best masseuse in the us!) should finish me off. After discussion w/RE, it appears i have yet to produce any chromosomally normal embryos (we know this partially b/c of PGD). I told dh last night i am apparently full of "rotten" eggs :lol: heeheehee. I thought it was funny, but i think he was too afraid of upsetting me to laugh :wink: . I have survived this before, and i will survive again (just hoping this will be my last BFN celebration!! :wink: )

Ciao!
