Karma: You have a great beta!! Congrats to you.  I know it does not help to say try not to worry about the blood, but I also bled and was still able to go full term with my baby boy. (I also had cramping for months)Godiva: That was a wonderful thread that you found. I wish I could figure out how to search this site.

tbonus - so glad that you get to move on and start estrace and that it has made the lupron headaches go away. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your donor's U/S tomorrow.
faith - I'm glad that the brown spotting is just from the suppositories. It must have been great to hear you babies heartbeats and be reassured that everything is fine. jdtx65 - Yippee your donor triggered last night!! You are getting so close!! I know it's weird to be excited about PIO shots but that means that you will be transferring soon. I can't wait to find out how many eggs she has for you. igloochic - I'm sorry you and your son are sick. I hope you guys get better soon. SRL - I hope your U/S is going well. I want to say you are having twins =) Butterfly - I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with your donor. I agree with the other gals and don't think I would feel comfortable using her anymore since she has not been reliable. It would be to stressful always wondering if she is taking her meds on time and going to her appointments. I think you can find a better donor. karmababy - that's a great first beta number. Try not to worry about the brown spotting, i think it means that you might be having twins. shellie9 - yippee for donor starting stims soon!! I'm so sorry about the headaches.

Hey Stephanie! Thanks for asking! The girls are doing well. Their appt was on Monday. Brooke is now in the normal range for her iron - no more anemia. Claire is just below normal. They will both continue supplements for one more month though. Brooke weighed 8lbs 14oz and Claire was 8lbs 10oz. They also will be switching to normal formula once we finish our supply of high cal preemie formula.
Here is a recent pic. Claire is on the left and Brooke on the right. Claire was looking at a stuffed Tigger animal. She couldn't take her eyes off him!

Hi Ladies- Just checking that everyone is doing ok... still no word from SRL and Jane hah?
I have a question for you! Wondering if anyone knows if one should limit physical activity (strenous exercising) before ET. I play tennis 4 times a week, and it is the only thing thats kept me sane during the process. Thanks ~Blue

Bluebutterfly- I would say you would be fine up til ET, however once you do ET.... my RE said no to tennis, or anything exerting yourself.... lifting, carrying, aerobics, s*! You may just want to call and double check with your RE, you wouldn't want to do anything that could jepordize implantation, etc.
I'd call just to make sure, but I am pretty sure they will say it is fine up til your ET day! I can't believe it will be in less than 2 weeks! HOORAY for you!

Update
So the donor never called today. It's fine even if she had called we weren't interested in her any more. I would be too nervous that she would flake out on something else. So the dc is going to get more profiles together for us to look at and I am going to go pick them up tomorrow.
