WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!! YAY Dtao! I am so thrilled for you and will pray that your have great number tomorrow. Happy Anniversary! Thanks for kicking this thread off right!

claud - WELCOME! We're glad to have you! I do acupuncture during my cycles. I went through my entire first IVF (which was successful) and I recently began going again for this FET. If you are planning on going make sure that the acupuncturist is very experienced with acupuncture for fertility.

katie - yay for meds and Yay for PMA! YES, it WILL work this time!

Johannanita - great outcome today! 8 eggies is fantastic! I am looking forward to hearing the fertilization report.

statsgoddess - sorry about your bruise. I often get small bruises but nothing too big. hopefully it was just a fluke.

Neffi - Hi again! So glad to see ou back and SO glad you'll be in our cycle!

mjay - how do they remove the fluid? i hope that you feel 100% better after. when is your beta?

fitz - congrats! now the 2WW!

Hello ladies!

Michele-I love that you get to stay at home. You are right, teaching will always be there and you can go back anytime. I have a 5 year old daughter that just started kindergarten. Time flies and you don't get it back. We started school Aug. 13th and my class is good. Already have strep and the flu in my room. One student vomited this morning in my room. Fun times :)

Johannanita-8 is awesome! I hope they all fertilize and grow now.

Shelby- I can't believe how many follies you have already at baseline.

Statsgoddess-I was SO bruised my first cycle. At one time I had 5 half-dollar sized bruises. Don't know if that is the norm but that's how it went for me. The shots never bled much but I always seems to bruise after.

Mjay-How do they drain floating organs? I haven't heard of this-I'm so curious if you care to share more info.

claud662-So glad to have you here. Best of luck-we will all be cheering you on.

dtao-I have fingers, toes, and everything else crossed and I'm praying for you-all the luck on getting the BFP and high numbers!!

Sangria-I love the doll idea. I would try anything at this point :)

Katie-It's funny how the fed ex box feels like Christmas. I don't many people who would get excited for a box of needles and meds but we are a special group!

AFM-I have baseline tomorrow. I'm hoping they will call with results in the afternoon. I don't think I can wait long-just nervous that my body isn't cooperating again. I also am trying to avoid all the illness going around school-I don't think the flu or strep would help matters :)

Only good thoughts and prayers for you all!

Mjay - Nothing but well wishes for you tomorrow. Let us know how it goes.

Dtao - I read your post to the other group and that makes sense about it being so early. That's the first I've heard of being tested so soon. Technically, you probably shouldn't have even had your first one until this Friday. So you are looking good! Smile and be happy you pregnant lady! :D BTW: Happy Anniversary! Our anniversary is October 1 and we should be getting our news then, too. I hope it was good like yours! Congrats!

Deftonesmo - Good morning my "twinkie"! How are you feeling? Any symptom? I have the on/off cramping, the oh-so tired feeling, and a bit of discharge (sorry if TMI). As much as I think they are all positive signs, I know most, if not all, can be a side effect of POI.

Are you going to POAS? I have my value packages ready! I'm going to start testing this Saturday. I know it would still be a bit early, but with my last pregnancy I started testing a faint positive on day 5.

Hope you're doing okay!

Hello Ladies. I've been meaning to post all morning, but I've been so busy with work. :(

Claude662 - Welcome aboard. You will find this group of ladies to be extremely helpful. I know I've been able to gain a wealth of knowledge from everyone here. I still learn new things all the time. It certainly helps to be informed. I'm also doing accupunture. I started right after my cycle was canceled last month. I got him at 52.50 a session because of some discount through my insurance. We only get a discount because accupunture is not covered under my insurance.

Fitzjr - Sending baby sticky dust your way. You're PUPO!!!

Shelbyn - From your mouth to Gods ears! I hope i'm pregnant in 3 days too. :D I'm so happy for you to be able to start stims on Sat. GL!!!!

Dtao - Good for you Hun!! Congrats on your pregnancy and being the first on our board. You're bringing many positive vibes with your BFP!!! Happy Anniversary. What a gift!!!

Wolffie - Question about accupunture, since I think you said you did it your last cycle. My guys is not a fertility specialist. He's been doing it on my legs and my stomach. He's been doing something right though. During my last two AF cycles they have been so much better. I have stage 4 endo and I have HORRIBLE periods. I have to constantly take pain meds. Well these last two cycles my cramps have been minimal where I haven't been talking pain meds so it's doing something. Now, when should I schedule a session again? Is it after ET? My last session was the night before my ER. Where should he not do it? Where have you been getting yours?

Cheekyone - Wouldn't it be great if we did end up with snow babies?!! DH and I are already talking about when we'll do our next cycle, even if we end up with a BFP this cycle. We know we want more than 1 child. Preferably 3 I think. I say this without even having one. I might change my mind. lol (doubt it!) I've got everything crossed for you.

So, I had all of this typed up before I received my call. SOOOO, out of 8 eggs 5 fertilised!!!! I was praying for two so I could at least have that many to put back. This is my small victory for the day. :D :D :D So we are currently still scheduled for a 3 day ET on 9/5. We'll find out definately tomorrow. They'll also let us know how our little embies are doing. I'm so freakin excited I don't know what to do with myself. IDK who said it, but yes God does make things work out the way they do for a reason. I just hope they continue to work in our favor.

Thank you all for the prays and good wishes. I know that they are helping in making us getting this far. I wish you all loads of PMA and baby sticky dust for the 2wwers.

Now the ultimate question to POAS or not POAS? I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I was all about POAS before but I don't know now. I'll bring this topic of discussion up again when the time comes. :D

Johannanita - I'm so glad to hear the wonderful news! You could already have your 3 kids waiting on you and not have to go through another ER again. Wouldn't that be so awesome! See, I told ya everything happens for a reason! :wink: Congrats!
