Hi All - I have been on the winter board too but from the sounds of it I think I will be on the 2ww with some of you all so I am going to moonlight on this one too....hope you don't mind...Blair can you move me from "Waiting to Start IVF" to "TTC with FET" my estimated FET is 3/18...I have my first monitoring appt on Wednesday then we go from there.

We have been TTC for 7 years and have one DD (turned two on New Years Eve) she is our joy, we have had countless IUI's, 2 IVF's, too many MC & we have 6 snow babies all of great quality 5 day blasts.....so we are transferring two in March & that might be it, don't know if I can take another MC, they have progressively gotten worse and more painful (last time I bled for 2 1/2 weeks) so we think this might be it, if not we should have some snow babies left over so we might try again, if not we will donate them, if the quality is good enough.

UGH....I love all your PMA....sometimes I loose mine, I have started writing a book about it, especially the differences between the women who TTC naturally and it takes some time but they eventually conceive naturally...how they think they know how I feel, ya I don't think so.....

I hope y'all don't mind me joining you over here too....Kt

Welcome katie! Best of luck to you. Glad to have you join us.

Blair- great to have you back. Hope you are feeling okay today. ;-)

Kyleen- CONGRATS ON BEING PUPO!!! I don't think you have a thing to worry about. I had the same thing with both my transfers. Not the spotting but definitely the cm and the mild cramping.

Zdia- my RE advises against it, but I still think you are probably okay. All the research in the world is unlikely to make you feel any better about it because there is so much gray area and a variety of opinions when it comes to any kind of activity after transfer. Most studies suggest that the bed rest is unnecessary and that once those embies are welcomed into the cozy uterus they are safe, sound, and there to stay. I actually think the no intercourse is to protect your sensitive ovaries from damage more than anything. I'd call your RE though. That is usually the only thing that makes me feel better.

AFM- well, today was a little better! I have 6 follies on the right side that are 9 to 13mm and 4 on the left. There are two additional on the right at 6mm that probably don't have time to catch up, but you never know! I will find out Friday when I am going to trigger, no more tests between then and now. I had to order additional drugs today that I may or may not need. Ugh! Better to have it than not need it than need it and not have it, as they say.

My 4 month old niece and sister are here for a week. Her DH is in China for work and she doesn't want to be alone. They were going to stay with my other sister until her 2 year old started hurling all over the place this morning. The new Mom high tailed it out of there and headed to my house where she disinfected all her stuff immediately. Lol. Gotta love new Mom's. Worked out well for me, I am surrounded by real baby dust just when I need it most.

tohavefun- wow...that's GREAT. I am so jealous of all those young follies!

I just want to say lets keep the BFP train going ladies.

My sister-in-law is 5 months pregnant, and they are having another boy, would you believe they are already talking about baby number 3 for a girl? I think of us all here who would cherish any baby of ours. I am keeping up my PMA as that will ensured my baby sticks. I just dont understand how some people cant appreciate the true gift these babies are, be them boy or girl.

I have a feeling my baby is a boy, he stuck in the catheter and they had to go round two. I'm happy as long as they are healthy! :)
