Yay, got my colace today, so hopefully I will feel better soon. I've been feeling a little queasy today and has some hot flashes. The OHSS is almost completely gone.
Just found out that out of the 17 eggs retrieved, only 3 lasted to freeze, so although I am grateful for them, the amount seems kinda small to me. Sweet Princess Lauren I know exactly how you feel. I want to be positive about this cycle, but there is always that little part of me that is guarded. I spotted throughout the first trimester of my first pregnancy. I wasn't truly excited about being pregnant until my third trimester when I was sure I was "out of the woods". I'm really torn, I'm trying to be very positive, but when I'm alone with my thoughts the "what ifs" creep in. One more week exactly until my beta Hoping that I finally get a that sticks. It's hard feeling like a piece of your soul is missing everyday. I hope for all of us that this is the year of pregnancy.![]() |

Thanks for keeping the list Lauren! They transferred one blast and one almost blast that they said would probably be a blast by this afternoon.
My Beta is in 9 days - I wonder why my clinic does 9 days and not 14? So, I'm on the couch thinking positive implantation thoughts and I'm going to read this whole thread to catch up on everyone. The June thread is so busy I can't keep up. ![]()

Hello fellow Pupo girls and
to our newest members!I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with fluctuating feelings of thinking this is the one to feel like this must be a bust since I don't really have "real" symptoms. The only thing I feel are some very slight twinges (which I had for my BFN cycles too). I do get dizzy and lightheaded when standing too quickly from sitting and lying down which I do remember happening a lot after my last BFP, but not before. I also noticed I am so thirsty! I can't seen to get enough water!! Tshonino Congrats on seeing pink on you HPT....No matter how faint it is..it is a !

Dani, if you dont mind me asking, what is your estogen priming protocol like? I am getting ready to start my 3rd cycle and doing the epp this time and was just wondering what others are doing. Mine is estrace 4mg per day (2mg 2X day) from day 21 until day 2 of next cycle then starting the stims. Is yours similar?

to some familiar faces!I am so glad this thread is such a success! I got kinda lost in the June thread. So we have 3 big betas coming up tomorrow, Jessica, Tracy, and Stephanie! I am sending you all good beta vibes (we need an emoticon for this!) AFM-- I'm also glad to hear about others fluctuating in their hopes...I feel so guilty when I start to lose faith, but I have been wrong so many times it hurts to feel too hopeful. I haven't really had any symptoms that I can say stand out. I was pretty crampy while sleeping last night, but I was last time (bfn) also...I think there is just no telling till beta. I remain cautiously hopeful. Sparkly and Tracy, I am that those keep coming every time you POAS! ![]()

Here comes the crazies....
So I've had 3 nights of PIO's with no sore (.)(.)'s, and the shot itself really doesn't hurt...could I be doing it wrong? DH and I watched where the nurse showed us to stick the needle and he's right on target. When I push on the injection site it is a little tender but that's about it. I only had leakage once and I think that was cause I did the shot myself.
I'm freaked out cause everyone said how horrible PIO is and I'm not having that experience. So now I'm worried I'm not getting enough Progesterone. But I am on 1 vaginal Prometrium also. I go for BW thursday to check my Progesterone and supposedly they will only call if there's something wrong.

Lauren-our post ET protocol sounds exactly alike. I do PIO once a day and vaginal prometrium 3x/day. My RE also does Beta 10dpt and 12dpt but only gives you results after the second. Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? I live in Minnesota, was just curious if our RE's were linked.

My EPP called for starting Lupron on day 21, then 2mg estrace on day 3 of next cycle. Day after ER increased estrace to twice a day (4mg). If I were to switch to PIO injections I would only need to take the estrace once daily (2mg). I thought I might use the PIO I had left over from prior cycle instead of the Crinone and nurse told me if I used PIO the estrace dosage drops to 2mg daily. The Crinone turned out to be cleaner than I thought...no messy discharg, so I'm ok with it so far. I just hope I'm getting enough Progesterone support. If I get a BFP on Thursday I may ask for my P4 level to be drawn at time of 2nd beta for peace of mind.
