Welcome Lola! Looks like you did most of your journey alone (like I did last time). It is much better in a group, especially this one.
Congrats on your 12 embryos!

I may be the only one on the planet who does a 6-day transfer (I did it last time and this time ER says day 5 or 6). He wants blastocysts. Must be just one more "age-thing." At this point, . . . whatev. Yes, Lola, I'm from LA.

Lola! 12 embryos is awesome ! I had my ER the same day as you. Already had ET today...hopefully things go well for your ET! Oh, I'm from just outside of Boston...Go Sox!!

Patilla - good luck tomorrow! Wow, that is bright and early to wake up. But you will be able to sleep afterwards...trust me. Too bad about the back of the van...I was so looking forward to that story

Mak27 - Have a good vaca! I used to go to Block Island when I was little...such a beautiful place. I know that the waiting is tough. DH is a firm believer in not POASing, so he'll keep me in line.

Sunflower - Did you have your ER today?? How did it go?

AFM - feeling great! I've been sleeping and eating since I got home, so no complaints here. Now I just hope that sewing machine keeps me busy enough for the next almost 2 weeks!

Hi Ladies,
Patilla, good luck tomorrow at ER!!!!!

KMP, OMG I'm laughing at your story but also going "oh crap!" that it doesn't happen to me. I bet the nurses have some funny (gross) stories of people at their ET.

AFM, DH and I are super excited about tomorrow and praying it will work. We have pretty much decided to put 2 back in (hopefully, we'll have 2 still out of the 6). We would be thrilled with twins if that happened. We would hate to put back 1 and if it didn't work, always wonder, ya know?

I will check in with you ladies tomorrow after the ET (scheduled for 11 am EST).

Holly

Hi everyone! I am here still stuck in hormone hell, but I have been reading to keep up with what is going on with all of you. I cannot believe that almost everyone is done with ER now. When things got moving, it seemed to pass really quickly - - unfortunately now comes the long part again.

KMP - I would have asked for a bedpan too. That full bladder thing is like torture. I remember the last ultrasound I had to have that way, I was dying. I flew off the table to the bathroom when the tech finished. I am already worried about it now and it will be a few more weeks before it happens. LOL!

KMP and Wannabe -
Hi gals! Thanks for asking about me. Congrats to you two!

I've been taking care of my sweet husband. The nurses say he deserves husband of the year for all that he went through yesterday!! The doc couldn't find any sperm the first three times he tried to aspirate. He then did a biopsy and finally found enough mature sperm - all this while I was out having my ER. I went in knowing that they only found one sperm that was mature to coming out knowing that the lab did find more in the tissue sample. Thank goodness for he power of prayer!! My DH is in pain still and can't really move from the bed. I was crampy and sore yesterday, but feeling much better today. We found out today that out of the 7 retrieved, 5 fertilized!!!!!! What a relief!
We'll find out tomorrow about our transfer date.

Thinking of you all! Stay positive and take care of yourselves.


Lots of to everyone as we move on to our transfers and 2WW!
