Usually for fertility like ours they do an appointment before your procedure and one after.

Good luck and think positive.

Thanks...

I have an appt before and after with my acupunture lady. And, from what I read, we're supposed to BD tonight so I'll definately be doing that, too

tomorrow is my day and then the wonderful 2ww.

Is it emotional suicide just to assume it worked?

I think we all swing back and forth from believing that it absolutely worked to believing that it absolutely didn't. I say whatever gets you through the 2ww.

for a perfect transfer tomorrow!

Didn't get a Fresh transfer...severe OHSS. Good news, 16 perfect babies on ice!!!! My FET is on Thurs. 12/18. Super excited, except...my u/s on the 11th showed a 8.1 lining - everything's a go for the 18th. The problem is, my nurse said to stop taking my Estrogen supp. on the 11th, so I did. I went for an E2 today, and I've dropped from a 803 to a 117. She called in some pills for today, tomorrow, and next day. She say's it's nothing to worry about, but after the disapointment of not doing a fresh transfer, all I can do is worry. Any info. / advice in the E2 level? I need to get into a Zen mode.

bberg Gl with your transfer today! I agree we all go back and forth between believing it worked and then absolutely knowing it didn't. Def do what works and makes the wait as stress free as possible.

Karen I'm glad you're FET is coming up! It's tough to relax with all the testing and bw but I'm sure they know what they're doing.

My transfer today

Hi Girls,

Sorry to be out of touch for several days.
My transfer was today with one snow baby

I was very stressed out last week, becase my RE was not too happy with the blood test rezult ( hormon imbalance) and even considered the cancelation of FET, but at the end we moved on.
I had to take one more blood test and I did not know untill yesterday if we proceed or not.

So all need all the sticky vibes in the world to help it stick

Yeah, very early! I hope the test is right! I asked my hubby to look at it too to make sure I wasn't seeing things and he sees it too.

Sounds like I missed a lot.

Congrats Deb on the faint pos!!!! How exciting. Will you test again?

Anel- Let that little baby snuggle in. I am wishing you lots of baby dust.

AFM I have been experiencing lots of contractions over the past three days. I am only 31 weeks pregnant so hoping to hold the little guy in longer. I had contractions for an hour today every five min. I try to relax and drink lots of water, and it seems to help.

Have a great evening everyone!

Ryan Did you have your ds early? Did you call the Dr? If they check your cervical length and think you might deliver early they'll give you steroid shots to develop his lungs (the lungs develop at around 36 weeks). I'm that you can keep him in longer.

Nothing much new here. My back hurts but that's OK with me I think I'm going to bake Christmas cookies with my 5 yr old today which should be fun. Wish the older one could do it too but he has an after school science club today and doesn't get home till 4. I might save the easiest recipe to make with him if he gets his homework done... Hope everyone is staying warm and cozy. Have a great day!!

Yes I called the Dr. the first round of contractions. He had me lay down and drink lots of water so I just did it again when they came back. I didn't have my ds early. He was2 days late. My mom did have two babies prematurley. One at 5 months, and one at 8 months. My Dr. did say it could be hereditary, but didn't seem to worried about it. I just want to have a healthy baby after all this.
