Daly-Thank you so much for the kind words. It is so nice having people to talk to and having people that care about you and what happens. I have been so down since the transfer. I guess my mind is getting the best of me. My inlaws are coming next Friday and that means that I have to send the evening with 2 sis-in-laws and they are both pregnant. I don't know what I am going to do. Do you think I should ask my doc to test me 2 days early so I will know while they are here??? Do you think that is too early??? That will be day 12 and I am scheduled to test in day 14. I don't know how I will deal with seeing them and talking about their pregnancies. I need to get rid of all the thoughts before tomorrow and my babies come home. Wow thanks for letting me vent!!! You girls mean the world to me and I don't know how I made it through this last time alone.

I will let you girls know how I do tomorrow.

Stephanie,

That's a tough situation. I have a hard time with pregnant woman these days. And with newborns. I just want to wake up with my baby (or babies

) My dh always teases he will hit me over the head so I can just wake up in 9 mn. AS far as the dreaded pee stick goes. I am a complete addict and accept that about myself.

My dh tries his best to cure me of my addiction to no avail. I've got to pee on a stick 10 dpo!!! The hcg trigger is usually out of your system pretty quick and when I've been pregnant I've always tested positive by 10 dpo. My friend who just got bfp tested positive on 10 dpo. It totally depends on your psyche at the time. You may want to leave it unknown like Charlie plans on her b-day. There is always the risk of false neg. (that's why I pee repeatedly...I really am quite naughty about it

) I bet you'll feel wonderful when you get your little ones back and may not even need to pee when the time comes.

STICKY STICKY STICKY!!! You're going to do so great and tomorrow you are PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise)!!!

Thank you ladies for all of the well wishes....

CroElla - I think it depends on how your body response the meds, when I started stimming my RE told me that I will take follistim and menopur for 10 days, but I only took follistim and menopur for 9 days. Before I started stimming I was taking BCP for ten 10 days. Hope you will start stimming tomorrow..goodluck..

Hi nicolamark

I know what you mean about being bloated. Im normally size 10 and now can't fit into size 12pants! I actually look 4mths pregnant. My DH thinks I look cute because I look so puffy

I was hoping it will be my last follie scan today, but they asked me to come for another one on Saturday. I cant wait for my EC date to be confirmed... I feel like a puffed up chicken hatching eggs

Thank you all for your warm thoughts. Funeral for my dear grandma was earlier on today and I know that she at peace now. I decided to stay stong and concentrate on having a baby as I know that what she would of wanted me to do.

Great to hear from everyone else.

I am waiting for the Nurse to call me back with my estrogen level.

Good Luck everyone.

Hi everyone!

Well, mt transfer was cancelled for today..we are going to blast. All 9 are still doing great 6 are excellent and 3 are very good. So hopefully goint to blast will help with my chances of this working. I am not sure if I fully understand why they wait the extra 2 days so if someone could better explain this to me I would appreciaite it. Preggo test day is scheduled for April 17 at 10am!!!

Steph~ check in when you can. I hope your transfer went smoothly and sending sticky sticky sticky vibes your way!

Donna~ You are getting close, good luck on Monday!! I also did my trigger in the belly.

Charlie~ the 2ww is almost over, sending positive vibes your way!

Hopeful~ I am so sorry for your loss. I am also feeling your clothing pain, I feel like I already look like I am preggo!

Anie~ good luck tomorrow, let us know if you are going to blast or not.

Nicki~ Great number, keep up the good work!

Sher~ Hang in there on that 2ww, we are scheduled the same day so praying the time passes quickly!

Susan~ Good luck Saturday!

Everyone else I missed good luck! This group is getting so big I need to print the list off so I don't miss people!!

charlie78 · Post by **charlie78** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 7:50 pm

Jesjes - congratulations that is fab!!!! you have super embies!!!!! Good luck with transfer!

Donna - sounds like you are about ready to hatch! Good luck - you will be triggering soon!

Sorry to sound negative but... does anyone feel like taking the list on soon? I really don't think it has worked for me this time and I think after test date I will need some time away from the boards (only a short time, cos I want to see all the other BFP'S!!!) I haven't given up all hope and I am trying to stay positive but it is hard!
If anyone wants the list I can e-mail it.

Hope everyone is well

LOL Charlie x

nicolamark · Post by **nicolamark** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 8:08 pm

Blastocyst transfer, 5 days meants that the embies will be that little bit stronger and increases your chances!!
At blasto stage it's just about to break out and latch on to the lining, my clinic said its survial of the fittest, so if your embie makes day5 its a fit little thing!!
Sounds like a BFP is coing your way!!

Donna 10 follys in gerat, well done honey!!! are u mega bloated like me???

I have another folly scan 2moz!! I'll keep ya posted ok xxx

smattison · Post by **smattison** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 8:19 pm

Well I am PUPO now and loving every minute of it. Dh is here and taking very good care of me. I had 2 good eggs and 1 average egg. They did assisted egg hatching, so my little guys will have a better chance of hatching out and attaching to my lining. Lining good great and we got to see them ut the babys back on a sonogram! So that means triplets...LOL OK maybe twins... Hope you are all well and sucking up all the baby dust in the air!!!

I will do personals later I need to rest!!!

nicolamark · Post by **nicolamark** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 8:22 pm

Hey all - had the ER yesterday (thanks for asking dodo -

) and they got 8 eggs when they were hoping for, at best, 6 - so that was good news. DNK about fert., maturity, etc - will know tomorrow when they tell me when to do ET (day 3 - Sat., or 5 - Monday). We've always transferred on Day 3, so let's hope for a 5 day xfr this time around. Although, our RE says that statistically, day 5 is not a real difference from day 3 xfr - intuitively, though - it makes sense that the success rate would be higher. Hmmm...

It's been a really different cycle for me this round (#4!!) - only one ovary responded, yet we got 8 eggs versus only 4 eggs from both on #s 2, and 3 IVF rounds. The last two goes, they expected to get about 8-10 eggs, and only got 4; this time, they expected 4-6, and got 8. So, hopefully - "different" is good! Also, did acupuncture this time, so keeping the fingers crossed.

Cheers all!
