Well ladies,
It is official. I am pregnant. I had my beta this AM and it is 186. WHOA! I can not explain the feeling that I am having right now. It is like a whole lot of relief but now a whole new set of worries are in my mind. I would like to thank all of you for sharing with me and allowing me to share with you. I am not sure I could have taken this journey with out you all. I am so glad that I decided to post.
I can't believe it! I am pretty sure that it has not hit DH yet. We just got back from the grocery store and while we were checking out DH turned and looked at me and said I was glowing. (tears) BTW I had not make up on and my hair in a pony tail.

Rkl: no worries on the POI. Just make sure DH is pulling back on the shot before injecting. It happened to me a few time and it is still not a guaranty that he won't go through a blood vessel on the way in. My DH always keeps a tissue handy just in case.

I promise personals later. I did not sleep well last night so I am off to take a little nap!!
XOXO-Chris

YAY Chris and Sara!!! I LOVE starting off the board with two BFPs! OH I how really pray and hope it continues for the rest of us! Praying you both have happy, healthy pregnancies.

Libby - WHEW!! Finally got those little ones back in there! Did they freeze any? When will you know?

AFM - Feeling great, though I do get a little dizzy from the progesterone. My parents just left, so all of my company for the week is finally gone. I have loved having everyone because it has made the week go by so quickly. Today is my last day of light duty, and DH and I both feel like I've done better job relaxing this time than the other two. I've never had regrets that I did something to cause the embies not to stick in the end, but I'm glad I've been able to relax during this time. I went through my second IVF cycle almost this exact same time last year...and it was RIGHT before DD underwent open heart surgery. Nice, huh? I found out it didn't work a day or two before her actual surgery (AF came...I had to still do beta while she was in the hospital), so it's been nice to not have that stress this time (though I didn't have a whole lot of time to be too upset about a BFN). At any rate, my PMA is high, and I'm hoping it stays that way and that this week goes by quickly!

rik - did you get a desktop or laptop? you probably don't need to worry if it's a desktop. Also, hold down the command button, then press the + button to maximize the page. Keep pressing to make it the size you want. Press the - button to make it smaller. Enjoy!!

My goodness everyone has been busy posting the past 2 days - I love it, keep it up!! It took me a while to get through all the posts and I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to Miner and Sara!!! I am soooooo happy for you guys - it's such an amazing feeling and such a heavy weight lifted to get a postive result. I also wanted to report that I am also pregnant!! I actually got a positive on Thursday afternoon but wantedt to wait a few days to make sure that very faint pink line became a very bold pink line....and it has!! I got a positive with a CBE digital on Friday as well. I haven't told a soul yet - just my DH (obviously). I'm going to call my mom tonight and my friends that have been waiting for Sunday to come for me to POAS. I have a box of FRERs left so I'll just use them every morning until my beta on Friday. I can't get enough of seeing that pink line show up!

rlk1- I never had to use PIO, just Endometrin so I can't help much with your bleeding problem. It sounds like though that you are hitting a vessle each time. You just may be more vascular in that region than most people. We are all made differently! You'll be fine - just talk to your RE about the PIO possibly leaking out in the blood and see if he/she wants to up your dose a tad if you bleed every time.....it never hurts to ask!

Supergenius- Congrats on being PUPO!!! Enjoy the next few relaxing days and stay stress-free and positive. Sending lots of PMA!!!

Claud - I'm glad you decided to stay in this weekend! I was worried about you a little. I'm sure you would have been fine but now there is no worrying about anything!

Secaly - no worries on the hot bath. As long as your temp. did not go up significantly, you are fine. Don't sweat it - really!

babluv - congrats on the frosties! That is great!!! I've never had any left to freeze! Enjoy being PUPO - when is your Beta?

angela - I have to say ditto to turtle's post....such a devastating story to read and so inspiring to see you on here going for it again. What an amazing mother you will make..... SOON!!!!

Turtle - thanks for the crossed fingers and toes....it definitely helped!!!

I think this board will have LOTS of BFP's to report over the next month and a half. I can't wait to see all of them!!!!

I'll check-in a little later tonight!

xoxo,

Heeks

My sns results came back and my prog levels were well over 40 and my e2 was 540 so everything is looking good so far!! Go back on Monday and just hoping those numbers don't drop!

Ok not sure I understand but if you want those nos to drop then I hope they do !!

Good morning-
Well, I am a total weakling and couldn't wait until beta tomorrow. I just had to know so I POAS and....I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!! God is so good I can not believe it, my whole body is pure adreneline right now The two lines showed up after a minute so I didn't have to sit in torture too long. Couldn't escape crying-I let the flood of happiness come, it has been almost 5 years so I thought this would never happen. I can't wait to see the #s tomorrow (I'm still secretly hoping for twins-my DH is NOT ) Oh, and with the time change got up at 6:00 am (really 5?!!!) so I'm going to be beat later.

I am thinking of you all-heeks and miner-I can't wait to hear your good news today! I will certainly catch up on personals when my hands are not shaking so bad.

Keep the faith!
Sara

That is just so amazing ... you so deserve... way to go girl... I am so exited for you ... it was all worth it , congratulations and happy 9 months.

Franny...So cool...Glad to hear that someone will be close to me doing the ET. Christmas baby, huh? I unfortunately have no choice but will be delivering around Thanksgiving because they cut me classic (vertical) on my uterus in my c-section due to hurrying to get Zach out...which means the odds of my uterus rupturing if I go past 36 weeks goes way up for a singleton. We will be looking at even earlier if I end up with multiples...but the doc says the chances of that are very slim...even with putting back 3 embryos. So hopefully we'll be getting a baby turkey bird for Thanksgiving. lol

Ok this is very important to me cause I had a c-section 12/10/09 but they did it horizontally... so if ever I am pg with multiple what does that mean? Any risks?

Helene

quick status for me: three good embies transferred this morning!!! woohoo! nine days until beta day (3/23)...

Only 9 days that sounds great girl... way to go... 3 little embies I am so exited for you girl.

AFM: I need your advice, ladies!! My DH did the first of our PIO shots and blood came GUSHING out after he administered the shot. Seriously, it was like Niagra Falls. This seems to happen a lot for us. What are we doing wrong? Are we doing the shot in the wrong place? I'm going to call my nurse on Monday, but any advice is greatly appreciated! I'm so worried that we lost all of the progesterone in the blood that came gushing out.

Wow you had one BLAST on ICE those are the best results... I hear people putting 2 in and they get twins right away. So that good thing is you will have a nice healthy single baby. Blast are the best kind... you keep up the good work girl.

As for your blood gushing I would do it a little higher or lower next time... I don't thik it really matters cause we have LOTS of blood but you must have hit a vain and so try to pinch the skin next time and then do it there if you can... I never had that happend to me... I am sure everything is ok don't worry or get to stressed over it... You are doing great.

Congrats glowing mom .
