KMP and Lola- yay!!! Those are some great numbers!

I can't wait to see more 's rolling in!!

AFM- I have POAS 3x since yesterday afternoon. Thank god they have all been positive, I don't think I will be able to stop until I get my beta. I switched to the digital tests because I was hyper-analyzing the lines, hahah!

To everyone else awaiting the beta they'll be great!

Hi Ladies!
Wow!!! So much has happened since last night!!

KMP, Mrembo, Lola

Mak: Good luck tomorrow!!!

Wannabe: Hang in there!!!

Kokas: I know the other girls have said it all, but keep your head up for just a little longer. The Beta is a much better test than HPT. I'm sure there are loads of RE nurses that have seen negative HPTs and positive Betas.
We are sending you a big hug!!!!

ASF, had my Beta this morning and it came back at 269!!!!!!!! (Kmp, we have been so close on everything!!!)

We are ecstatic and still cautiously optimistic. I don't know if I'll ever feel the clearance to say that I'm "definitely pregnant" because we've been trying for so long that we don't want to believe it. Calling our mothers helped. There was screaming and shrieking that I think only our dog could hear (they have been incredibly supportive). My mom wants to go shopping already. I like, simmer down mom! We still have a few more blood tests to go!!

What is considered a high number? The doctor said it was really good, but I was trying to gauge. Is it supposed to double by Wednesday?

Here's a TMI question for the group (is it even possible to be shy anymore?). Is it safe to have sex yet??

Thank y'all for all the well wishes for my Beta in the morning. I am so nervous - I still haven't POAS yet! I am starting to have pressure and some cramping again, which is making me even more nervous.

Sunflower77 - Best wishes for tomorrow, I have my fingers crossed for you!

I've just been out for a b'day celebration lunch with my Mum who doesn't know we're doing IVF, and she kept trying to feed me wine, and then scallops and prawns. Is going to be interested coming up with all these excuses why I can't eat these things!

Positive vibes to everyone!

Big Day

Its that time! Several of us have betas today. I'm beyond nervous. Had 2 leftover hpt's, so I figured I'd take them. 2 BFNs. However, I'm not a quitter. I'll be in the game until they take me out!

Well, I have to run. and to everyone today! I will post again after the call.

Oh, and to all the BFPs from yesterday!
