Susan, that sounds like fetal movement to me. They say some people don't feel movement until later because they're not sure what to look out for. That's exactly what it starts out like though, very fast fluttering. I felt like I had conceived a large butterfly too. Later on it will be more like tiny thumps.

Ok, so DH just called and apparently a friend own's a Volvo dealership nearby. They have a used 2005 XC90 for sale for a little less than the Subaru. More car(or SUV), more room, etc...
It's a V6 so not terribly crazy on gas, but still I would be going from practical to a little crazy. Here's the pic of that one. It's Titanium Gray.

Both nice Susan, i wouldn't say no to either!
To those who have had both a BFN and a BFP -- were you embryo quality the same for both, or different. I think my embyo quality were better the first IVF, not as good for FET and now these ones seem similar to the FET that didn't work. My little mind is working overtime. I thought I was supposed to be playing it cool for the 2ww. Maybe going back to work next week will be a good thing but I will have my boss asking every day whether I have any news yet.  A quick story about my sister. She's the only one I've told and that was because her call came in between about 6 calls from my nurse and it just spilled out. After all I have told her about IVF, FET, IUI's, years of trying, she still said the other night "I read an article that said doing "it" at about 5PM gives you the best chance of conceiving"..... WTH... doesn't she think we've done "it" at all hours of the day trying? I thought she understood, and I know she's trying to be helpful with her tidbits, but geez.

Heidi- I used to get so infuriated at those comments like your sister's. My friend that took 6 months to get pregnant when she was'nt even trying used to give me IF advice all of the time after I had been doing ART for two years. I just ignore it now and say, "Oh really?"...
So once again DH is late getting home and the dealer closes at 6pm. Another bust night. Anyone else have a work-a-holic for a husband? Heidi- My embie quality was always poor until this last cycle where at a 2dt they were 5 celled, which is more than they have ever been. SO I would say you are pretty good with 8 celled embies. Those would be like gold to me!!! I just have a good feeling about everyone this time around.

Ugh...I HATE comments like that. I have a good friend who's not much better. She knows all about the miscarriages and IF etc. However she still managed to say that if I just 'relaxed' and when I'd 'finished school' she was sure I would get pregnant then. She even suggested the m/c's were because I was busy!! Like...WTF?!! No wonder us girls need to stick to together...no-one else understands.
Heidi, I also don't want you thinking those bad thoughts either. As you said to me, think positively, and either way we are here for you.  Susan, I like that car. The colors groovy too.

Okay...so this is probably TMI...but anyone else ever get a yeast infection from the progesterone suppositories? My RE has said I need to start taking them rectally (OUCH!) which I've started doing but this itching is starting to drive me crazy!!
Is it just me??

Alana- Your little Belly Bean is beautiful!
My cats have been all over me since the HCG shot. Weird. They sometimes won't leave me alone. I guess if they all of a sudden stop, I'll knwo this cycle was a bfn. lol Susan- Both very nice autos!!  I would have a hard time picking myself!!!Oh and uggg...I'm still cramping and spotting but I'm assuming this is normal for jamming a cath into my uterus and having to clamp my d a m n cervix.

This is true. I think it's working out to be about a three week wait with the residual HCG trigger...so that sucks! LOL I talked the nurse into agreeing that I should have my P4 levels drawn if and when I get my BFP. She said if AF hasn't arrived by CD 35, then it's off for a blood test. She seemed reluctant since apparently the doc didn't mention it, but to be honest, I'm not sure any of htem had even thought about it. *Sigh* Sometimes we need to do THEIR work! LOL.

Diva, sounds uncomfortable to insert them up there, but hey, it might relieve you some. Are you on Prochieve? I just started a few nights ago and no problems so far. A bit messy but less drama than the shots I guess.
The biggest reason I barely tell anyone about IF is because of the dumb-as s comments. Thank g o d I haven't told MIL. She's offended me over smaller things, so I can't imagine sharing with her about this stuff. i just scoffed the biggest plate of DH-made mac 'n cheese and buttery peas. Tia, sorry about the hellish cramps. I hope your day went okay. TGIF indeed.

Alana- I had a major infection or reaction to the progesterone suppositories so I switched to the PIO. Much better.
Shawna- Sorry about the pain and spotting, ut you are in your tww!!!! heidi- Your dinner sounds yummy. DH just asked if I wanted to "walk" somewhere for dinner. I took that as, "your a s s is big do you want to exercise before you snarf down another meal?"... I could kill anyone right about now. He is pushing the SUV on me. I wanted to be practical, but is he is paying for the car and the gas then hell maybe I should... I could always trade it in later...
