You ladies are certainly early risers
 !Jdtx-  CONGRATULATIONS on the  ! I am so glad that you waited until today to POAS. Please try not to worry about the spotting!

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for an amazing ET. Please KUP with the details. Best wishes! Tbonus- Please KUP with updates! I am excited that you will be PUPO so soon!!! Godiva- I hope the work isn't too overwhelming! I agree with Pack, use the board as a reward. It is definitely addictive so I am sure you will finish your work in no time  .Hope- I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed your vacation! Miami is one of my favorite vacation spots . Also congratulations on being 16 weeks tomorrow. I am sure you will feel your little one kick in no time! Are you planning on finding out the sex?TnTarendell- I am so glad that you found a donor! I wish you all the best with all of your pre-cycle tests. Please KUP. AFM: I am off to give myself my weekly progesterone injection. Oh how fun!

Possible TMI Warning - My spotting has gotten a little heavier, truned from brown to red and there are little clots. Has anyone had that? I am on PIO shots and Estes. Maybe this just wasn't my time. Really nervous about beta now.

Quote:
Do you mean PIO shots and estrace? Maybe your progesterone needs to be increased, that could cause spotting as well. Try to relax and call your RE. Explain the situation and ask what they think. Also, ask if it would be okay to take an larger dose of the PIO today. Anytime I had spotting/bleeding my RE suggested taking 2.5cc to help the uterus calm down. Other suggestions are to stay well hydrated and if possible to lie down preferably on your left side. Please KUP!

jdtx-the monday before my beta (beta was on Thurs) I had pretty heavy spotting/bleeding and thought for sure I was out for the cycle, but when I took the hpt I got a bfp. When I spoke to my RE's office they said that it was common to have heavy spotting or even bleeding like a period with ivf esp if they implanted more than one embryo. They told me to just take it easy and stay off my feet and see if the bleeding slowed down (which it eventually did). They didn't seem to be too concerned since I wasn't having any cramping. I also asked them if there was anything I could do about it and they said there was really nothing I could do that early on (i.e. increasing prog, etc). Have you spoken to your RE yet? Please KUP.

Pack it is cooling down from our 80's temps last week, but next month should be nice, though the boss should bring a light rain coat. Whatever they do, don't go to eddie bauer and buy a freaking down parka....we can spot tourists 20 miles away in those, especially when the spouses buy matching ones!
JD I'm excited and a bit worried for you hun. KUP after you call the doc ok? Hope welcome back and thanks for the kind words. We're already geared up for IVF number two with Frosties (I have oddles so I guess I'll use a couple). The lining won't be an issue because I don't have to time with a donor this time so I can wait until I am ready. For me it just means taking estrace three times a day instead of two as they had me on last time. The Nanny has been with her sick baby yesterday and today. It's been kind of fun to hang out with DS for a couple of days. Yesterday we went to Toys R Us (a place i used to hate but now think of as a second home because my son is so spoiled) and he got a new train and a potty chair. Wish me lucky ladies..we're gonna make his freaking therapist happy and work on potty training! I personally don't know why he can't wear daipers until he's 20...but I guess I'm old fashioned or something. (He's not been ready before...she thinks he is...I think he's not, so we'll see how it goes). DH is going to head out of town and buy a motor home next week for us to stay in MN in while we're at a wedding. I have lots of phone calls to make to texas to discuss them before he goes. We may take the plunge and buy sight unseen....always scary LOL I don't want to be a nag...but umm TRANSFER REPORT!!!!!!!!???????? See by not using a name I'm not nagging...but you know who you are!!!

jdtx- awesome news!!!
I hope the spotting eases up. From what I've seen and heard over the years, spotting has become the norm rather than the exception for pregnancies. Hang in there.bluebutterfly - GL with your ET today! tbonus- wishing you good thoughts for ER today. As for me... Donor's retrieval is set for Thursday morning. I guess the mantra is "hope for the best". I'm disappointed that there isn't more follicles, but there's nothing I can do to change it. Thanks again for all of your pep talks thus far... it helps a lot.

JDtx-
~ I knew you'd get a +!!! Try not to go into panic mode over the spotting/bleeding... were you able to reach your RE? The suggestions the girls gave you here, are most likely what you will be told by them. Think positive thoughts! KUP!Teresa- Hope the swimmers swam laps and you had a great ER! KUP on reports when you get them... I'm glad you are getting excited! BLue- Thinking of you on your big ET DAY!!! Malloned- Since you prefer PIO over the suppositories, can you ask if you can just continue to use it? So many ladies have irritated cervix and spotting on the supp., plus the gucky (is this a word?) stuff falling out. Hope- OK, I add my list to the names of those envious that you are 4months pregnant and strutting in a bikini! I sure hope you took some photos!!! I'm happy you had a nice time away! Thinking of you all.... got lots of work done this morning, and yes, this was my reward, to check the boards! Now I need to get some 'nice clothes' on to go shop for carpet this afternoon. I'd love to have another project done so that maybe for 2 weeks in August I could just RELAX and ENJOY not being at work!  Until later.... hope you had a good afternoon!

Hi! Sorry I've been MIA for a while. We've been busy with company and moving n stuff. Also, I've been a little down since the loss. I think things are getting better now.
My last PIO and Estrace will be this Wed (7/23)!! WOOT! DH hates giving the shot more than I dislike getting them.  To all the new people. The people here are great and supportive.I'm sorry for the losses. That just stinks.  Best wishes to everyone on your journey!
