Hi all,
my computer is broken and i'm typing via phone, so please forgive
me for keeping this brief. You are all in my prayers!

Let me say i'm an admitted poas addict! It's like christmas
morning each time i take one. So, i started on thurs. (transfer was mon.) and got a (-), which was fine because i then knew my hcg trigger was gone.

But..last night and this morning I got faint (+)!!!!! i know i could end up having a chemical, butat this very moment i'm the tiniest bit pregnant and couldn't be happier!

Beta on wed. And daily poas until then -ha!

Once my laptop is back i'll catch up on personals.

Happy labor day!

Kala - will you be able to keep us posted while you're in Serbia? Will you be having your beta done there or in the US?

Johannanita - YAY for acupuncture! I love it too. It's so relazing. I just got back from my 3rd appt. in 2 weeks. I go in for one more on Thursday and then hopefully I'll be able to go in the day of my transfer both before and after. I'm praying that your embies snuggle in tight and stay for the long haul!

shelby and kiwi - how are stimms going? Grow follies GROOOOOWWWW!

shelby - from your descriptions it sounds like you have a beautiful garden. I have never planted anything but am hoping to try a small garden in the spring. ALTHOUGH, that may be difficult since I plan on being either very preggo!

mjay - so sorry that you had to have another procedure. Take it easy and take care of yourself.

Cheryl - YAY girl! a positive is a positive no matter how faint!!! So you got your positive 5 days post transfer? That is awesome! keep us posted!

AFM, things are pretty good on my end. Went to acupuncture today and it was fantastic! Now I'm just hanging at home. Dh and Ds are napping so the quiet time is wonderful. We'll be heading to a BBQ later. This should be a busy week ahead of me and hopefully that will keep my mind of the transfer on Saturday. I swear it is on my mind every second of the day. Does anyone think it's possible to pray TOO hard for something?! :wink:

wolfie I had acupunture for the first time on friday, now my back feels all swollen and bruised. How do you do it so often? She recommended I get tested for imunilogical issues or just take a baby asprin. I'm going to talk to my clinic about it tuesday.

So far my tranfer is still on the 11th but they will not have done an u/s since last friday. The bw says I should stop the lupron yesterday and start progesterone today, isn't that weird that they don't want to do an u/s before implantation. I was at 7/8 on Friday and they said I'm good to go. I don't know maybe I'm just nervous.

I do think you can stress yourself out by praying too much, god knows what is in his hands and what you are doing to help. If praying doesn't stress you out, go for it, but if it does know when enough is enough. God loves you and will give you what you need. I know its hard to believe when he doesn't give you what you want.

mjay I started to feel really bloated yesterday again too. But I got up to pee a couple of times during the night, and now it's better. Probably the hCG acting up. I'm surprised they haven't done a beta on you, considering you've gone in now twice. At least knowing for sure you're pregnant would make you feel less crappy...

malya - sorry that you feeling some pain after acupuncture. I honestly have never felt one but of pain during or after the acupuncture session. I find it SO relaxing. My transfer is set for the 12th. I also will not be going in for another u/s or more b/w. My last appt. was this past Tuesday. I thought it was really strange too but since you're not going in maybe it's not so strange after all.

mjay - i agree with dtao, it's definitely gotta be the HCG acting up. When is your beta scheduled for? I would be asking for one ASAP if it's not scheduled soon.

Hello everyone!! I'm back from visiting my sister this week, so here I go on catching up. My last post was on page 27. I think I've been reading for an hour. :D

WHEW-HEW to dtao and kristy on their BFP!!!! Way to go ladies. It's soooooooo encouraging.

cheryl - Sounds like your pregnant too!!! Can't wait for the beta on Wednesday.

Welcome kala, rayofsunshine, claud and tonyacheek.

I can't wait to hear the BFP results for cheekyone, deftonesmo and johannanita.

turtle - Man, I hate dealing with tooth pain/problems/fillings, etc. UGH!!! Hopefully it will be resolved quickly and without pain. :D

johannanita - As for your MIL, I wouldn't put up with her. :x Ignore her if you need to, especially during the 2ww, and tell her off if you need to. I've had to be very firm with family over the years, and I'm so glad that I did. I can't stand it when family, especially family, is rude.

Jen - So sorry that you're going to have to wait until the next cycle. I know it's so frustrating to have to wait. Hopefully they will be able to lower your FSH soon, so you'll be back on schedule. ((hugs))

Neffi - Welcome back!!! :lol: I'm so excited to be cycling with you again. You were such encouragement to me last time.


AFM, I fighting the lovely acne that has arrived from the BCP, and I finally start Lupron on Tuesday of this week. I'm ready to get this show on the road!! :D We're estimating my ER to be sometime during the last week of September. As for POAS, last time I decided to POAS only the night before the beta. We'll probably do that again this time. It was nice to know something before we went into the doctor's office, and it was AMAZING seeing a positive pregnancy test after 5 1/2 years of negatives. I'll never forget it and can't wait to see it again.

PMA to all!!

Hi everyone! I promise I didnt fall off the face of the earth. I feel lik eit though. I have so much catching up to do. I can't belive all the activity that hs been going on. It is all so exciting. I did (ok so I didnt - my husband did) my first Lupron shot today. So glad it is done with, the anticipation was worse then the shot but it still stresses me out. Also started my 2 antibiotics today. Let the fun begin right?

Sending good vibes to everyone.

Hi ladies. Sorry I was MIA for a bit. DH and I were on vacation at Cape Cod and we had no internet access where we were. Which, I have to admit was blissful....I even read 3 books while there. That has not happened since before DS was born. Vacation was wonderful. We only had one bad day of weather and the rest was perfect. DS loved the sand, water and just being a toddler. No schedules, no worries, no problems. Perfect time. But now we are back to reality. I did go back and read the posts....so much has happened. But forgive me as its too much to catch up on personals. I am sneaking on while DS naps.

AFM, I am finishing week 3 of BCPs and on day 6 of Lupron injections 10 units per night. I go in for supression on the 14th. I am anxious to get this over with. The more I played with DS, the more I realized I want my kids close in age.....here's to hoping this works. But as we all know, you cannot control IF....if only we could.

Have a great day and I hope to be able to catch up more now that we are back.

karling - excellent on your first lupron shot!! :D Mine is tomorrow, and I'm hoping it will go well too. I hate needles, so each shot to me is a HUGE accomplishment. You go girl!

miyaya - Cape Cod sounds like heaven and like you had a fun trip. I would love to take a vacation right now, but we'll just have to keep plugging along.

Hope everyone else had a great holiday weekend!!
