YOU ARE ! Doesn't that just sound too good to be true? Congrats again!

Yes, thanks I am very excited but I don't think it will be moved up though. Does anyone know when I will get a full colored positive instead of faint lines? I am currently 6dp5dt.

z_momma did you test again this morning? Your blasts were day5 blasts, right? By my understanding, you would be 4 weeks pregnant at 9dp5dt, which for you would be this Wednesday? I would think by Wednesday and afterwards your line would start to darken up on the test. How are you feeling? I wonder if you have more than one in there!!

Solange it sounds like your transfer will be about 6/24 or so? I will put that for now on our list!! Congrats on having AF arrive and being on your way!!

wanna - yay you are done with BCPs! I'm sure AF isn't far behind. Hurray!

My AF showed up this morning!!! I'm so excited. My RE transfers the blasts on day 22 of my cycle, so I'm scheduled for 06/29. I've already got my first Estrogen patch on, and will go in for a lining check on day 16 (06/23).

More baby vibes for all!!!

Hi ladies, have been 'off the grid' for a few days. I had the worst day at work on Friday, totally stressful so decided to de-stress this weekend and stay off-line. Amazing what can happen on this post in just a few days!

Z-Momma - you are - how exciting and what a great way to start everyone off!! Excellent vibes. Rest up and cannot wait to hear how things progress!

to sweetpea!

KSM - I am finding that the schedule for FET is not quite as rigorous as the schedule was for my fresh cycle. I've had 2 RE appointments that I've had to move around and they seem to be fine with it, as long as I'm taking the Estradiol.

Midum - I hear you about the OCD, I remember worrying about the car hitting a pothole on the way home from the transfer - silly, but all sorts of stuff like that goes through your head! But great big to you!

Solange & Gina - so glad that your waiting is done and you're on your way!

AFM - try to stay de-stressed and looking forward (well kind of) to starting the prometrium, progesterone injections and Medrol.

I feel so tired and sleepy back at work taking it easy just wanting that line to get darker. If you say I will be 4 weeks on weds, how do you calculate it for fet's?

You calculate it the same way..Start with 14 for midcycle and add 5 for day they were frozen, so the day of your transfer you were actually at day 19 in a 28 day cycle. Make sense? Really all you need to know is that 9 days past your day 5 transfer a BFP means you are one month. Thats when your line will get darker. Dont worry, a positive is a positive

Guess what? It's getting darker I took one at 5:00 & 5:15pm with answer and I really see it now but still a little lite but it's two lines. I am high off of pee sticks and I think I am addicted to them I wanna do them every 5 minutes!

Thank you so much for all of the welcoming! This group is so welcoming, and is so full of great energy!Im happy to be a part of it.

I really thought that the FET wouldnt be nearly as emotionally involoved as the initaly IVF. Boy way I wrong. I am so excited, and trying not to be, to avoid letdown. And Im on these crazy boards reading advice, experiences and stories for probably an hour a day! I can't believe its starting again.

Reading about all of you, and your journeys is so fun!

OMG! Poasing is so great. I totally reccomend it. Last time I was so glad i did it. It made me feel more in control somehow.

my AF wont come around for anther week and a half and Im really excited for it (crazy--I get horrendous cramps!) I will get a tentative list of dates on Wed though, from the coordinator.The Ill have more to report.

z momma #1- congratulations!! what a great way to start off the group! with my IVF that worked, I got a line early on and took one every day. I had them in a row on my dresser to see the gradual darkening. I think I still have them somewhere. I think it just got darker and darker for maybe 6 to ten days?? dont totally remember.

Solange- Im happy for you, that AF came. Im going to start praying for the ladies on this thread too!. Here's to a successful cycle! and all I can say is--I vented so much on this site during my last IVF, and it was the only thing that got me through. Totally vent. we all get it.

They are so much more addictive than many illeagal drugs!! (guessing here, but pretty sure)
If you go to earlypregnancytest.com, you can order in bulk for SUPER cheap. I have a stockpile of about 20 I got for under 25$

z_momma glad to hear your line is getting darker!! That is exciting. Yes, my understanding is the same as Polarbaby's about how to calculate when you are 4 weeks pregnant. Keep using those sticks!! I wonder when your first ultrasound will be??! So exciting to already have a positive in this group!!! I'm sure it will bring good vibes all around

Sweetpea I know what you mean about AF - I was thrilled to see her this morning despite the cramps and headache she always brings!

ksm I'll mark you down for 6/25! Exciting!!!

Midum will you POAS??

Z-Momma!-- OMG, I just read your posts. I am so happy for you! Congratulations. I have been praying for your results. Here's my happy dance You take it easy and glad to hear you had a fun birthday weekend.

Wannabemommy--You are on your way now. I'm so excited to see your progress.

MrsReady and DI.MA---Yippe for that AF! It's so funny how are all get so excited to greet AF.

MrsReady--How often you change estrogen patches? Just curious how they are done verses taking oral tablets.

Sweet Pea and KSM17- Welcome to the group. Yea, the more the merrier. I look forward to reading about your journey. Sending you baby dust!

Shari--Look like your protocol is similiar to mine and you are right after me. Did you get your sono yet?

AFM-- Well, it's count down time. Just to remind everyone, it's either a June 14th or June 16 ET. I will start PIO injections 6/10, add medrol and doycycline twice a day until ET. I have been putting my headphones on and walking around the neighborhood about 30 minutes a day to help with my nerves and of course to get my exercise in.

Hello Ladies!! How is everyone doing?

Z-momma -- Love hearing about your progress! It's easy to go broke with the hpts!

Solange -- glad to hear that your AF showed up and wishing you the best as you start your cycle!

Mrs. Ready -- yay, you have a transfer date! I'll be for you!

Wanna -- thanks for all your positive energy! shouldn't be long before your transfer date too. sending you lots of

Shari -- I laughed when I read about your fear of the pothole -- sounds just like me. Hope you can destress ... I have a pretty stressful job also. I have found that working or occupying myself is a better way to destress than doing nothing. I tend to perseverate if I have too much time on my hands.

AFM, been feeling fine, no symptoms of anything. I'll have a busy week at work so I imagine the time will go by quickly. Haven't decided about POAS. I didn't poas with my first ivf and was pleasantly surprised by my bfp - although it sadly ended in m/c. For my 2nd IVF, I was so confident that it had worked that I poas multiple times, and I just kept torturing myself over and over. I don't want to do that again! Well, if I do it, it will be after my anniversary this weekend -- don't want to ruin that day for us!

Hope everyone is well and lots and lots of . I'll be praying for all of us!!
