Terri - cheering for your both little ones - little fighters. May they find a welcoming home in your lining.
Lukesmom - It's a wonderful place to share, to get support and a place where we do not have to feel like no one understands you or think you are too much when you obsess over every little symptom.

Kimic322 - only now I noticed that you've got your FET#2 date and it's so close - wow. You're on a fast track - let's hope it's this time around.

Hopefulmama, Irena - is there a particular symptom or food craving that you are having now that you did not notice before?

Lizzie -it's a good thing you are being proactive, not wasting time as getting the second opinion. As other ladies, I'll look forward to hearing what your Saturday appointment will bring.

Jill - how did your transfer go?

Hello to all, I have been traveling and working long hours. I wanted to say "Thanks" for letting me join you guys. I hope everyone is having a good day! I just went to the RE today and I go back next Friday and then we are scheduled to do the FET on 9-5 or 9-6 the RE said we would decide the closer we got to that time. I am so nervous and I have to start taking some meds tonight and then I will move on to PIO later he mentioned. I dread that part for sure... I would love to hear all the things you guys done before the FET (ex. pineapple, accupuncture, etc.) It would be good to hear all the trade secrets. I am sending to all... Thanks for listening.

hey girls!!! et went well today! I was so scared that my snowbabies would not make it through the thaw, but when we got there they told us that BOTH made the thaw! i was just so relieved. everything went fine and I am now officially on "princess time"!
also, I wanted to share with you all what my 4 year old niece prayed for last night... she knows nothing about this FET, we haven't said anything to her about it and I have been on a break for several months and haven't said anything about any of this coming up. my SIL texted me last night and said that Kylee Beth, my niece, prayed... for god to take care of GiGi's (that's what she calls me) baby, it's not in her belly today but it will be tomorrow. i just think that is a sign that this time is going to work. also, today is my DH's grandmother's birthday (she passed away) several years ago. i just really have a peace about this.

I know... she is so precious!! We are really close. I'm kind of like her second mom. I was there when she was born and also there when her little sister was born too! Kylee Beth is 4 and Kolbee Jean will be 2 in October. Kylee's middle name is actually Elizabeth which is also my middle name. I have wonderful nieces that love me very much and I ALWAYS go to all of there stuff whatever they have going on. Sometimes they even come to me instead of their mom. ha! they are precious! sorry to brag so much but I'm a proud aunt!!

I pretty much feel the same as I did when I started PIO. Nauseau and constipation and *bleh* I don't really have food cravings right now, more that I'm always hungry but nothing _doesn't_ sound awful.

Talking OKAY - I think that it is real!

Okay so I have been taking the Dollar Tree pregnancy tests!

I got I faint like on Day 6, Day 7, and Day 8.

My DH really thought that since it was a faint line that it just was not something that was really working.

So he insisted that we go to Walmart and get a "real-test"! I let him pick it out and he got the Equate version of the EPT.

Well I went home (and did not want to wait) and peed away~!

WOW it was - Right away! The plus sign appeared almost right away!

I am so excited but wanting to keep !

Megan

Jill-so excited your transfer went well. You are PUPO with triplets!!! Hope you are enjoying princess time! That story about your niece is precious!! You should write that down to tell the twins when they are old enough!

Megan-Congrats! Sounds like you are !!! Good luck waiting for your beta. Such a long wait!

Sorry to the gals I'm behind on, hope all is well!

Well girls, I'm off the couch! Still feeling really peaceful about the transfer! I really believe it's not up to us what happens, and whatever will be will be! Not even thinking about POAS! Check with me tomorrow, I may have changed my mind! My beta is 9/30, only a week to go. Our anniversary is this week (I think we'll get out of town for a couple of days) and we have the DNC in town, so hopefully I'll have lots to keep me occupied! Hope you are all having a good weekend, Terri

Booch Not sure why they're making you wait. You should ask your doc. Dr Saketos told me that I could go right into another cycle if a got a straight neg b/c they hadn't stimulated me and the meds are so much less. She said we had to wait a month after the fresh specifically b/c the stims. Of course we'll be here when you are doing your transfer. Hope you check in before then though - we'll miss you.

Vickie Well I now have an aversion to avocado which I love and like Irena I feel really hungry but not much appeals. The only thing that does is soup and I can't eat it unless I make it myself b/c I'm on a strict low sodium diet. I actually was weighed at my hypertension doc and lost 2 pounds. I'm trying to eat but with limited choices it can be tough.

Stevesgirl I did acupuncture and think it helped. I also did 3 days of bedrest after the transfer though my doc said I didn't have to. Oh and I took some herbal pills from my acupuncturist though I checked with my RE first. Last time with the chem pregnancy I did the bedrest but not the ap/ herbs.

Jill That is so sweet about your niece. I do believe that things like that can happen - that people can have a special insight or whatever you want to call it. Def a great sign!!

Tanya Oct 7 is right around the corner!

Megan The early pos can really be a sign of having more than one. I took my first test 7dp5dt and got a pos right away and when I told the doc she said that I might be having twins and she was right!! Can't wait to hear our beta.

Well guys I'm a bit frustrated - my RE wants me to see a high risk doc soon to better regulate my BP but the next appt is Sep15 We might be in Ca by then so I asked for a referral to a doc out there and no one called me back. I don't get it - they took care of me with my last pregnancy and they take care of people with serious medical conditions - you think they could return a call. Sorry just needed to vent. Thank God a lady from San Diego area posted a recommendation for a high risk doc in response to the question I posted.
