Leora- Just wanted to jump on here and say WOOHOO 17 eggs is AMAZING!!!!!! Can't wait for the fert report.

AFM: I woke up nauseous this morning I know it is too early for any symptoms so I guess it is the pregestrone or the estradial. I am 5 days out from ET so I know the nauseaous is not from by embryos right??

[leorira11]

1 egg fertilized.

I'm crushed.

I go for transfer tomorrow -- no use waiting...

[amanda1979]

leora- I am so sorry. did they say how the 1 was looking? Just remember lots of women have gotten pregnant off of 1 on here. I wish I knew something to say but I don't. I am sending a great big cyber HUG!!!!

[anton]

Leora- I am sorry honey I know you, we, waited for more but don't take it bad! Do I need to remind you that it takes ONE! You should try and see the 'positive' in this outcome and think that ANYWAY you were supposed to transfer one, right?! So maybe things came this way so that you don't get into the 'loop' of which and what if transfer 2 trip. I believe that this embryo, your baby, choose you this time! and survived from the rest to emphasize his domination! Don't worry about what didn't happened and try focus on THE ONE! Be positive and sent positive vibes to your embryo to stick and stay! Oh! and make 'it' feel welcomed to your uterus! after all, he is going to be the king of the castle!

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and I wish you a smooth transfer. So what if you are not transferring on Mothers Day! You are going to be a Mother anyway and everyday soon!!!! ((HUGS)) I believe in this one!

Oh Leora I am so sorry did they say what happened? I agree with Anton it does just take 1 and please remember that last year Lou only had 1 to transfer and that 1 made her beautiful Chloe. You have great implantation rates so this will be your baby just try to hold on to a little bit of hope please even though I know right now its hard. Hugs to you my friend and sending you lots of sticky baby dust

[to_have_fun08]

Sorry leorira maybe this is a weird way of saying.. this time you are only transferring.. leaves no question of maybe transferring more then one. Hang in there. Sending lots of P&PT's .

Amanda - Congrats on your transfer. 5 days past transfer is a little too early for symptoms but ya never know. If you did a 4dt then you are on day 9. The embryos start to implant on day 6-7, and if more the one implanted your HCG could be building. We will just say you are preggo and those are preggo symptoms. When is your beta?

[Sunshine1576]

Leora- I know it's not easy, we all understand how you are feeling right now but don't lose sight of tomorrow. You must go in there and stay strong because this baby is coming home with you.
Sending you all my hopes and prayers that this is THE one!

cancelled my hair appt, I just cannot seem to sleep these days. Have way too much going on I guess and my house is a mess. Not sure what tomorrow will bring, my boss couldn't say if the DM will be interviewing me or not b/c DM never responded to the email we sent. I need this promotion for insurance benefits but not sure how I'll balance working so many hours with IVF coming up. Hoping once we hire more associates it will take some of the workload off the others. So I'll deal with whatever happens and maybe if IVF works on this try it will only be temporally crazy.

[anton]

Sunshine- Good luck on your interview tomorrow! I know you'll be great and blow their minds! but I am crossing everything for you anyway!

to-have-fun- My Beta is 5/16 I hope one or two attached in there. I am sure it is the progestrone making me nauseous. I slept with a heating pad under my butt last night bc I started getting knots from the shots.

[Gina1976]

Leora- It only takes one Hang in there and I know all will be just fine!! Yep in Germany. We changed the clocks forward not long ago. I know we are 6 hrs ahead of EST.

[kerpupples]

Wowsers Leora, that's rough. Maybe this 1 will be your little miracle baby. That's just so unusual compared to your past history though. Were the others immature? You are at a new clinic this time, right?

[to_have_fun08]

Amanda - Wow a whole week more to wait.. they sure want to torture you. Are you gonna POAS?

[kynlee]

Leora- So sorry that only one made it through, but that could be the One that makes you a Mom.. Stay hopeful it only takes one.. I am saying prayers this is your miracle... Sending you a hug...

Evening ladies

Nicole: really glad your legal are recovering. When you have to start training again?!

Christy: Yes, I actually planted two beautiful flowering shrubs two weeks ago in preparation and they will flower every may as our reminder. One thankfully is blooming already and its lovely to see.best of luck with the interview

Amanda: could be the hormones or it could be pregnancy. Im seriously hoping its the second!!!

Leora: oh no, im sorry. Im going to echo everyone else in terms of just needing one but i know thats really hard to take. And as Anna said, you have good implantation rates and I'll be praying so hard that this is your time with this perfect little embryo. But im really really sorry for all this stress you are going through. This is a first that this happened to you isnt it - have they given you any thoughts as to why? Please try and rest x

Maria: how was your scan?

Anton: your posts are so warm and kind

Kynlee: thank you. And i did make the chocolate croissant bead and butter pudding from scratch. Here is the recipe:

125 g dark chocolate, broken into pieces, or dark chocolate drops

6 croissants, (slightly stale is fine)

4 eggs

450 ml single or regular cream

250 ml milk

150 g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

2. Scatter half the chocolate over the base of a 2 litre pie dish. Cut the croissants in half and lay them, cut side down and slightly overlapping, in the dish, then scatter over the remaining chocolate.

3. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, plus a pinch of salt, and pour this mixture over the croissants. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar and allow to stand for 5 minutes before baking in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the custard is just set in the centre. Remove from the oven and serve (if you dare!) with softly whipped cream.

Afm: had another therapy session today, after yesterday something shifted, i can hold this easier now and im moving towards preparing for a new baby whilst being able to remember my first without clinging on so tightly. I've also discovered a new way of working which i hope will help me work with other women.
