Well, I'm officially hooked to HPT's. My gosh, I didn't think I would be this way! I took another one this am and the line is still there, but it looks lighter. I'm concluding I must still have some trigger shot in there and it got lighter because maybe it's almost gone by now. I guess I'll see how tomorrow goes. At this point, it's not stressing me out, I'm just hooked My ET was last Friday, so I guess I'm 7dp3dt, is that right? Not sure how to figure those numbers everyone posts.
Hope everyone is doing well today - Good luck today waiting & molly!
JennLB25 - take care and start feeling better!
DNT0809 - Lots of multiplying BETA dust your way!
prayin4BFP - How's the OHSS? Feeling any relief yet or is it worse since you triggered last night?
mandeekins - reading your post today cracked me up. You sound like a HPT junky!! LOL I can see me being the same way. Just seems like we want all the answers right now. Have you gone for any blood work yet?
What day did you start the HPT? I hope that line keeps coming and you get a BFP at beta.
prayin4BFP - how is the OHSS going along. Are you feeling more bloated since you triggered. I hope your ER goes well tomorrow.
Tburks- How are you feeling? Even though I did not OHSS I felt like I had a watermelon in my ovaries, so I am sure you will be fine.
JennLB25- Good news about your Beta. I am wishing you lots of baby dust your way.
I had my ER today, and they got 28 eggs. WOO HOO! I won't know anything about quality or how many fertilized until tomorrow morning, but as soon as I do I will let you guys know.
They gave me some antibiotics and some merdol. They say the merdol is suppose to make a good nesting environment. Have any of you taken it before?
They also gave me Darvocet, which I took one because I am cramping a bit. They say it won't hurt the transfer, but I am still weary about it, and hope to take no more.
I have not had my ET yet. It is scheduled for Monday. Beta will be on February 16th.
I too had 28 eggs! Only 20 were mature and of those all 20 fertilized.
I just got word today that 19 of them have divided and are all 4 cells. RE says all is looking good.
Sounds like you and I are on the same path. Much luck with your transfer!!!
Praying for BFP's all around this board!!!! We'll probably all have multiples. Well, I'm hoping anyway. PMA PMA PMA PMA PMA vibes to everyone.

tburks - LOL..the funny thing is that I knew for sure going into this that I was not going to be that person! Jokes on me now! LOL My husband thinks I'm a nut case btw!
Molly23 - I did my first yesterday, which was only 6 dpt. Today I did the second, so it's a week today, and the line actually looks lighter today but I'm not worried yet! I'm in good spirits! Sounds like you had lots of eggs well...way to go! How do you feel? I only had mild cramping, just felt really swollen. Yesterday was the first day that my stomach didn't balloon out after eatting each meal! Never even heard of Merdol...but sounds like a good thing! Let us know how it goes!
JennLB25 - WOOHOO...so it sounds like you'll have a 5dt for sure now! Like I said, I feel a BFP coming your way! How are you feeling?

Hello ladies, I feel very neglectful that I have not sign on to my computer or read or posted anything since last sunday. I have just been nesting for some odd reasons, I have cleaned and reorganized my house like a million times. I have my FET on 2/2 and Beta 2/16. I am just doing those horrible progesterone shots and they are killing my butt.
mandeekins--I think I will probably be like you with the HPT's, I work at a hospital and they are so easy to get, just pop into the pharmacy and get one...............they are worse than candy.
Sorry that I am not doing personals but I have read through all your progess and I am very excited. I have a feeling this is going to be a very BFP year for all of us (PMA,PMA,PMA)
Hey everyone;
Thanks for the good thoughts about my OHSS. Well yes I triggered last night...which made the OHSS worse. Saw RE this morning and had another sono since I gained 2 more pounds overnight. My ovaries are huge and filled with fluid. Crap! Anyway he gave me some medicine I have to take vaginally and sent me back home for more Gatorade and bed rest. Now heres the news...he says unless I have a miraculous turnaround by tomorrow for ER we will have to freeze what we get and do a FET in March/April. SIGH> I am disappointed. But i guess its for the best...he said if I did ET and the embies implanted since my OHSS is so early and severe I would probably have to be on bedrest for 4-6 weeks.
He said he needs to remove every single follicle because of the OHSS and since my left ovary is in a weird spot he said he will have to go in through my abdomen instead. Kinda like Laporoscopy I guess. I was kinda amazed they could even do that. SO tomorrow my ER is scheduled for 9am and he will also drain all the abdominal fluid while he is up there. Thank god I will be asleep for it all.
Well wish me luck and send me some hugs..today is DH birthday and I dont even have a cake or a gift...this snuck up on me so I am a bit emotional about it. He said he doesnt care but birthdays have always been a big deal to me.
Good Afternoon Ladies... Well, I am here at work eating my lunch at my desk. Trying to catch up on some work cuz I was so far behind. And it’s Friday... TGIF!!!!! Yipee!!!!! And, I get to start my Lupron tonight.... Ooowweeee!!!!. Sorry, just had to let the excitement out. Can u tell I am excited :oP Well, I really look forward to those needles.
Prayin4BFP... I am so sorry about the OHSS. It’s scary, but I really am glad that you got to trigger and r having your ER tomorrow. Lots of luck and I will keep u in my prayers. So you won’t find out about freezing until tomorrow or have they told you yet. Good Luck for tomorrow and I hope everything turns out good.
Chris... I love that crazy face... it says it all in a nutface..LoL. As for your situation, I am also sorry that u r going thru this. SO did u go in today to take care of the issue? I hope everything went well and I hope that does not interupt your cycle. Hun, I have so much faith that this will be your time... you did say that this is a new RE and maybe it is a blessing... maybe this RE found it and the others never did, so maybe taking care of this issue will allow u to get your well deserved BFP. Do I make sense? Good Luck Hun.
tburks... good luck tomorrow at your scan. Hope they’re good enough to take you to trigger this weekend. And it does get exciting seeing those black spots getting bigger and bigger. Good Luck again.
Rosario... Sorry about the follies. Did they say if there was a chance of any more growing at this point? What are the chances? Let us know what happens.
Mandeekins, mandeekins, mandeekins.... I thought u were going to hold out on HPTs, but I understand. I really hope it is your BFP, but as u said, it can also be the HCG in your system still. What day was your trigger shot? Has it been 10days yet? U lose HCG at 1000u per day so making it 10 days to clear 10, 000u of HCG out of your system. But at least your Beta is a week away and you will know a positive answer. Good Luck hun, u r almost there.
JennLB25.... I am glad everything is turning out well for you. Good Luck at your ET on Monday... I will be sending you lots of stick baby dust. Good Luck .
Molly... lots of eggs for you as well. I hope I get to have that many... at least enough to freeze a few this time. Can’t wait to see how many fertilized overnight... the board is getting so exciting as the days go by. I was given antibiotics as well, Doxyclyn... and for ET they gave me 2 pills that I need to take the day of ET and for the sake of me I can not remember what they are called.
Well ladies.... I am going to get back to work and check with you ladies later. My computer from home crashed on me ysterday or at least I think that is what happened, but the Computer Geek that I found out I am... I lost the whole c drive and I dugg thru my drawrs and found a restore cd and took me like 2 hrs to figure out and with god knows whos help, the system restored and got my c drive back and everything was still there... I really don’t know what happened. I wasnt so concerned about the files, I was more concerned about my DH Itunes... he has all his music and movies and its not backedup so if he would have lost it then he would have been one unhappy DH. But somehow I brought it back. TG. I just hope it doesnt give me problems over the weekend, if not then I will ttyl on Monday.
Good luck to everyone and babydust to all.

Barb... Glad to hear from you again. Sounds like you are nesting girl...getting ready for that BFP. Good Luck girl.
Praying, I will keep my fingers crossed that u do make a turnaround tonight. But whatever RE says I guess is what we have to do. Either way, it is for the best. Good Luck tomorrow!!!

Well I went early this morning for b/w and u/s. I now have 6 follies growing. Still the 3 on my left but my right has the other 3. They will continue to keep me on 300 units x2 but they need me to return for more b/w and u/s tomorrow morning. I asked about how much longer i need to be on stims and she said she wasn't sure. There is a chance they will keep me longer than 2 weeks. Last cycle i was on stims for 14-15 days. I think this time I will have to be maybe 18? Well i am happy that I now have 3 more and not really concerned on the amount of follies i have. It honestly only takes one and I am very happy with my slow responding ovaries hehe.

Rosario - Way to stay positive! So since you had a slow response last time, did they try you on a different med this time? If not, what was the reason? Keep your chin up...you're right, it only takes one little embie to decide it likes you!
mandeekins Last cycle I was also on an antagonist protocol. Last cycle i was on 600iu of Follistim qd and this cycle I am on Gonal-F 300iu bid. I am on an antagonist protocol to try and get better quality eggs and it helps me out since i am a poor responder.
