I'm praying your Estrogen level doubles!!!

I am currently waiting to hear if I will have a 3dt tomorrow or a 5dt on Friday.... PIO is no fun, but I believe in no pain no gain! Went to acupuncture today and it relieved almost all of my pain from the ER.

Dillys: Good luck on your upcoming transfer!!

2lines, Your test came back positive as early as 8 days after? Is that correct?

It was a faint, faint positive on the Answer brand early results test at 6dp3dt and kept getting darker every day ;-).

[Nlp]

Alyson- Congrats on your snowbabies! You might have a little football team.

Zozo-so happy for your sisters results.

2Lines- Great Beta!!!! Can't wait to find out what your 2nd beta is.

Praying for everyone in their tww, starting stims, and going in for ER/ET.

Me: I go in Friday for my "Supression Check". I am a little worried that AF has not arrived yet. She is supposed to be here by Friday. I am afraid they won't let me start stims as scheduled if she doesn't get here soon!!! I can't wait any longer to start this process. I already feel like we have waited an eternity.

I was just looking at all the numbers and my lining has decreased. It was 5 on day four and now it's 3.37.
I think that is a strong indicator that my E2 is going to be too low and I’ll have to cancel.

Not necessarily! I asked my nurse about my lining, which had gone down by 1mm and she said that it can't really go down - she thought it was just a discrepancy between different ultrasonographers. There is slight room for error each time someone measures both the follicles and uterine lining. Don't give up hope!

Interesting......it was a different ultrasonographer actually.

i'll put this in my signature on my lunch break and keep entering them as i take them ...the things we do...

Cant wait to see those - turn to +!!!!!!!!

[amax]

The nurse just called - 6 out of my 11 eggs fertilized. I hope they are doing well in their little petri dish...

I'm chilling in comfy pants - haven't had to fill the percocet prescription. It's a bit sore getting up from sitting down but otherwise, no problems. I had to get up in the night to pee like 4 times, probably because of my huge ovaries resting on my bladder!

I forgot to mention that after the ER yesterday I was so sore that I had to request some extra pain meds in my IV drip - I think it was morphine? Whoa. That stuff made me woozy and it took allll the pain away in a flash.

Hope everyone is hanging in there. Time for another nap. Zzzzz....

[WinniePoo]

thanks kris me too.

i've been listening to broadway music and angry girl music. with the exception of finding it hard not to start singing along with it out loud, it is helping distract me from my funky day.

[kris1unger]

wantababy, I got morning sickness my 1st cycle & it was a bfp. My 2nd cycle no morning sickness & bfn. So it sounds like a good sign to me.

stinkycat, I just don't have the will power not to poas. I know how it feels to only see that one line, but I also know how great it is to see 2 lines.

amax, yeah!!!! on the 6 fertilized.

AFm, nothing to report just nervouse about tomorrow

[amax]

Thanks Krista!
I hope you have lots of growing follicles tomorrow!

[PG_Florida]

Wow, Alyson_Sunshine - 6 snowbabies! That's terrific!

WinniePoo - Thanks for the POAS stats. I've never been a POASaholic, but I'm definitely going to do it this time. I need to order them. Did you order yours online? (If so, can you remind me what website?) I don't think I can handle the person at checkout giving me that "crazy" look if I buy more than one box. So I'll have to order online. LOL

Linz - none of my meds need to be in the fridge. Double check with the pharmacy or doctor though. Is your RE the closest one to your? Or is it that they are so good that you're willing to travel to get there. 2.5 hrs away it quite a trip. I would definitely suggest doing Priceline for your hotel. My DH travels a ton in the summer and he gets really nice hotel rooms for such impressive rates through priceline.

1day - I'll that your estrogen goes up. Would they just switch you to an IUI if it doesn't? Let's HOPE that it goes up. I'm not sure if I saw you this morning... at one point the ultrasound nurse (the nice one) called your name and nobody responded - so I know you weren't there yet.

WeWantaBaby - I think nausea is a great sign. Oh I'd be so happy to vomit every day if that means I'll be pregnant! I think 6dp5dt would be the earliest, but there are plenty of women that didn't see a + for a few days after. So don't put all your eggs in one basket for tomorrow. It could take a few more days....

stinkycat - WOW to your will-power. My curiosity will definitely get the best of me. But I do understand what you mean. Seeing a negative right before your blood test is brutal.

Nlp - I'm sure AF will arrive soon. I think others have started stims without AF. Were you on BCPs? I remember the nurse saying that some people don't even get AF after BCPs, so they don't care if you have AF or not. I wonder if I'm remembering that correctly. Just keep in mind that once you start stims, time will fly!

amax - so glad that you're feeling well after ER. 6 fertilized ... that's a terrific number! I'm already in comfy pants, and I'm only on day 7 of stims. I'll have to find a muu-muu or something for ER. Yikes!

AFM, I updated my signature with my follie growth. I feel like I'm going to drop-an-egg at any minute, and I still have 3 more days of stims. Ouchieeeeee! I can't even try to suck in my stomach. As I told DH: don't even look at me!

I feel better about these stims because I have been on the same dosage every day since I started. For my IUIs they kept up-ing the dosage, then lowering it and it was always changing. But this is a slow-and-steady approach and I'm hoping it's the right formula.

PG: I actually bought 8 tests at the dollar store then 2 boxes (mulitpacks) of the good kind at walgreens. I figure if I can walk into walgreens and buy two economy sized boxes of unlubricated condoms at 3 am with two guys i can do anything! (ok so a little background on that...i was a senior in high school...the guys were sophmores...i was in theatre and you put the body mics inside the condoms so that the sweat doesn't short them out...you should have seen the girls face when i handed her the tax exempt form)
