Got to get to work so only have a minutes. So much going on.

2Lines, WoW! Congrats Little Twins or Did they split into Triplets

ZoZo, So glad for you family - God answers prayers

AFM, I have 6 little snow babies

[kris1unger]

Alyson, congrats on the snow babies.

Is anyone in there 2ww poas I love to hear daily updates. Remember I am the addict that ordered 100 tests. LOL I can't wait until next week, er & et. It is so hard not knowing how many little eggies I really have in there and how many r going to make it. I am so emotional this cycle, I think it is because I know that we have to get results this time. Dh said that if it does not work we will just have to travel maybe take an ivf vacation! The next closes re is two hours away and there success rates are not very good. So I was thinking maybe I will have to go out of state. Who knows, hopefully this cycle will work and we won't have to figure it out. I am just so anxious excited and worried all in one.

Girls, I broke down and had a cup of coffee this morning. I need more will power.

My prog. & hcg do not say they need to be refrigerated. Do I need to?

Zozo-That is such good news about your sister!

I will have to go in for bw/us on 8/21, 8/23, & 8/24. I live 2 1/2 hours away from my re. Would you just stay there? I was looking for a hotel near my re with a fridge. It is going to be about $130 a night. So if I stay 3 nights, it will be close to $400! It will just be my ds and me so I want to stay somewhere nice and safe. What would you do? I just rambling....

I did not have to refrigerate anything but Follistim. The HCG was a powder mixture, so I doubt it, and the Progesterone is in oil, so definitely not. If cold, it will harden.

I ran out of meds today, so the RE told me to come in for a urine culture. It turns out that I still have a bad one based on the preliminary results. They will call me tomorrow and tell me what antibiotic they will change me to. Anyway, the patient coordinator asked me if I had "cheated" and taken an HPT yet. When I told her I had, she said "well the, why don't we just draw your blood right now so you won't have to come all the way back out here tomorrow." I certainly wasn't going to argue with that offer! I had fooled myself into believing that I would stop worrying as much once I heard my beta result, but now I'm just going to freak out even more until Thursday so I can find out if they doubled. So the results from beta number 1 are... wait for it... 348! I am officially . They said that for 10dp3dt they were hoping for at least 50 but higher than 75 if possible. So that sounds like a pretty decent beta to me. It's 3 times my first beta last time I was pregnant. So now I will sit and tap my fingers until Thursday and keep saying my prayers!

I must tell you AXO cranberry supplements from the grocery store are brilliant for UTI’s. I am prone to them and they really do keep the infections away that and lots of cranberry juice. Last time I got one I wasn’t able to take antibiotics so I mega dosed on the AZO and drank loads of the juice and it cleared up by the very next day.

AFM – My ultrsound today showed more follies and a good growth but my worry has now switched to the Estrogen level. If it is not doubled then my RE wants to cancel. Please send me good vibes on this one, I’m praying an estrogen level over 100

[Dillys]

So my RE called this morning and it we will be doing a 5dt on 8/14. She says I have 15 embryo's 1-9cell, 8-8 cell, 3 5-6 cell and 3 2-3 cell.

Thanks for all the Welcome wishes, you definitely seem like a great bunch of women!

2 lines - our first official woo hoo!!!! you are !!!! or hmmmm?!?

Linz - no worries ONE cup won't hurt you i want coffee SO badly....i make it for DH every morning (i think it is bribery for "good" PIO shots!!) and i sneak a little sip each morning. i know we can technically have a little caffeine each day, but i don't want to have any regrets if i get a . Prog def no fridge!! i don't know about HCG...i only had low dose hCG and that was refrigerated.

zozo - so happy for your sister

kris - LOL...here's my daily POAS tally! i do mornings only: transfer day+, 1dp5dt +, 2dp5dt-, 3dp5dt-, 4dp5dt- & 5dp5dt-. i have the faintest of lines tomorrow....i desperately need a glimmer of hope!! i'm using the FRER....trying to find the Answer brand that i saw others talking about, but don't see them in any stores around here (NJ). i'm hoping you have lots of big strong eggies growing in there...these new feelings you are having is hopefully a great sign for you

Alyson - for 6 snowbabies!!!

mrsJB - good luck at ER today!! for lots of eggies! the only pain meds i got were the ones they put in the IV immediately after (i don't remember what it was, but nothing i had heard of before). i only had extra strength tylenol from that point on. for that first two days i would have LOVED some pain meds...24 eggs definitely left me with a lot of discomfort but not "pain". let us know how you do! they'll call you the next day with the number of mature eggs and fertilization results. they don't know at time of ER if they eggs are mature or not.

dillys - gl today

winnie - i know how you feel. i have been the same way the past 2 mornings...ALMOST wish i wasn't a POAS addict bc i think that adds to the bad feelings...especially if i get another neg tomorrow. i stupidly put it in my head that the 1st day i'd even possibly see the faintest of lines would be 6dp5dt so now if i don't see it....i will most definitely be disappointed.

PG - so glad your meeting went well last night...you sound so excited about it!!

youngtucker - GL today
cantwait - SOOO sorry about OHSS. you have a quick recovery!!!

athena - i was scared to try accunpuncture too. my clinic actually offers laser accupuncture just immediately before and after ET. i swear it helped relax me. when i do FET in the future (irregardless of the outcome for this cycle) i want to research traditional accupuncture based on all the postive things of read from the ladies on this board. all seem to LOVE it....haven't heard anything negative yet!

AFM - i did get a wave of nausea this am while drying my hair so DH is convinced that is a good sign (i'm not convinced that it's not just the PIO, but that mindset could be due to the funk i'm in today, like winniepoo). and, since the transfer i've just had a "tight" feeling in my abdomen...sort of like in the beginning stages of stims so i don't know what to make of that. when my nurse called with bw results on mon i mentioned that to her and she said that could be a sign of implantation OR it could be the ovaries still getting back to their normal size... clear as mud, BIG sigh

thanks wewantababy! I feel hope but I don't want to be dissapointed.

by the way 2lines I meant to say AZO cranberry supplements - they sell them in the grocery store.

TOTALLY understand that feeling. I think we are all in that boat during each of our different stages. just try to stay positive because stressing DEFINITELY won't help. I just gave that pep talk to myself too

[1dayatatime]

you are so right!

Ladies, I dare not to POAS. I can clearly remember my last time FET, the day before blood test I POAS, only one line and my poor hubby stared at the stick for very long time and may times trying to find another line. It’s so painful. I choose not to POAS.
If I have positive blood result, I might POAS, just want to see the 2 lines.
