Thanks waiting for 4- I am excited and nervous at the same time. Even though each pregnancy test I have taken daily says positive I am still nervous. I know going and getting the test is one thing, but waiting afterwards for the call is going to be so hard. I am going to try to keep myself busy, but by the phone. I know when I had blood work for everything else they always called around 2om, so I am hoping that is the case today.

Moving into a new home is so exciting. Make sure not to lift anything heavy.

my dr requires we go in to see him for our results. its hell sitting in the waiting room trying to figure out which nurse knows and decifer the results from the way they look at you. last time I guess i looked really nervous and one of the nurse said "aww... are you ok?" and i took it as she thought I already had my results and that I was upset I wasn't pregnant. I was so pissed that she spilled the beans I started crying in the waiting room and swearing off the whole office- but then i got my BFP. haha- I bet it'll be even worse this next time.

I just wish I had some symptoms. I got nothing cept the fuller bbs- is that from the PIO shots?

Waiting for 4

Do you wait on your results after your blood test at the doctor's office or do they make you come back?

Molly and Barb...Good luck with BETAs!!!! Let us know. We want to see some more BFPs!!!


Anxious...They collected 28 eggs and 20 were mature. I've been told that that is a lot, and that is why I may have OHSS. But my ER was January 28th. I would have thought I'd feel better by now. I felt good for a couple of days, almost back to normal. Then all of the sudden I started getting bloated and got a bad pressure in my abdomen. RE says that I need to drink 2 32oz bottles of Powerade Zero per day now until Beta which is Monday. RE said that my ovaries my not get back to normal for another 3 weeks or so. But they just don't seem too concerned with OHSS. I know I need to be on bed rest, but the attorneys I work for will not tolerate another day off. I seem to feel better the longer I'm in bed and on my back. But then I have to get up and come to work and I get worse as the day goes on.

To top things off, I still don't have power (which means no heat or hot water) and my house is like 50 degrees inside. We had to stay at DH's aunts last night. Our power went out Wednesday night at 11:30 p.m. and they are saying we may not have power until possibly Sunday!

Anyway, I'm ranting again. :roll:

Regarding how my RE handles BETA...My RE draws the blood at 8:00 a.m. and sends us out for breakfast (for an hour), and then come back to RE's office and they give us the results face-to-face. They said some people just sit in the waiting room for the hour, but I just can't imagine sitting in there and trying to guess why the nurses are looking at us and guess what they know. That would be nerve-racking.

I hope you all have a great day!

Good Morning Ladies!!!! TGIF!!!! Well, I just came back from my RE's office. Had my bloodwork done and US. They say I am good to start stimming tonight. They will call me in a couple hours to let me know how much Follistim, Heparin and Lupron to take starting tonight. Then I had to go to a Lab to draw blood, I guess bfore starting Heparin. Then I go back in on Monday for my first Follicur US. Yipee!!!.

So Molly and Barb.. today is your big day. Good Luck, can't wait to hear your positive results.

Jenn... i'm sorry about your power. Just make sure to get that creit from th ePower COmpany when your bill comes in and if your food has gotten spoiled make sure to get a credit for that if you could. ALso, I am so sorry about the fluid in your ovaries. Hope it subsides with teh gatorade. Make sure u drink lots of it. I'll be thinking of you.

nursegator... congrats on starting stims. We may end up on the same ER cycle. Good Luck, hope u grow lots of follies and wonderful eggs.

anxious... I didn't know that my estrogen was low with my first cycle. I guess it started getting low after ER cuz this cycle they put me on Delestrogen Injections instead of the Vivelle Do Patches I did previously, but you do want to make sure your Estrogen is where it is supposed to be cuz I heard that has a big part in implantation. Good Luck hun.

Well, let me get back to work. I will check back in later.

Well the doctor just called and I got my BFP. My beta is is 226 and they said my progesterone level is 47. I go back Monday for more blood work. I am speechless right now. I wish I asked more questions, but I was so happy when he called. :D

Thanks everyone. I am super excited, but wish I asked the doctor more questions when he called. When do they normally tell you your due date, first ultrasound, and other things i may need to know.


I love Lady's pictures as well, and it is so great we have her to update the list, and it such an animated way.

I guess we are still waiting on Barb, and I hope she has a BFP.

Rosario: I would call your Dr. if your HR is still in the 90s. That's pretty high. Just to make sure everything's okay.

Molly: Congratulations!!!!! Yeah BFP!!!

Lady J: Congrats on starting stims today! Why are you going to be on Heparin? I'm on Lovenox for Protein C deficiency. Have you done Heparin before? I hate my Lovenox injections...they burn so bad!! And I have to do them in my abdomen. Does the Heparin burn? Just curious because I have a choice between the two. But I'd have to Heparin twice a day & Lovenox is only once a day.
