Megan, I'm not sure what to tell you. It's possible because we got our tests so early that it could be positive. When you look at the charts, anything above a 5 is considered positive.

[girlymech]

Rose - I'm sorry that you had had such a hard time with this cycle. Hope that things get better for you.

Janice - Keep those awesome numbers coming

Meagan - I'm sorry about the bleeding that your numbers go up.

Jenifer- Congratulations on a great beta you are definitely


I'm experiencing some killer cramps today on and off 6dpt. I'm trying not to worry too much but this wait is killing me, the cramps feel so much like cramps. I never imagined it would be this hard . You girls are an amazing bunch, I don't know how I could get through this without you guys

I am staying away from the stores or I will be buying pregnancy test!

I hope those were the good chills down the spine! I have a good feeling about you guys! Don't hope for too much cramping! LOL! Melanee had the same type of thing, she had sharp cramps one night and then that was it. PS - Can you send your neighbors down here to make me a lasagna?? That sounds YUMMY right now! I'm a carb eating machine lately!

A girl that I work with had to do the PIO shots and she said they were the worst!!!! I've done the IM trigger shot when I had an IUI and I sat on ice for almost an hour until I couldn't feel most of my leg. It was a pretty big needle and DH giving it to me terrified me. I didn't feel a thing, in fact I wouldn't look and after he was done he had me sitting and waiting thinking he hadn't done it yet.

Pris - You did a 3dt right?? That would be about right for implantation cramping. They usually say it's about 2-3 days past a 5dt, so since you did a 3dt, 6dpt would be about the right time. Keep your hopes up and think positively!!!

[babybearjmd]

Thank God we don't have PIO!!!! It would be awful!!!

I hope time passes very quickly for all of us so that the girls on bcps can be done and on to the Lupron, the stims girls can go to ER and ET and the positive beta girls can get to a u/s!!!

Nicole, the shots in the tummy aren't that bad at all, and I'm a chicken! I did 3 a day for my stims.

Kristen, of course I'm impatient! I wanna know stuff! The only way to alleviate my fears is to give me information. I hope your 2ww goes really fast so you don't have to do all the worrying!

Kari, you'll be pregnant, don't worry! The cramping is good. I had some hot flashes too, don't know if it was from bfp or progesterone??? Is your beta on Sunday? I have my 3rd beta on Sunday, so I'll see you there! When do you get there? Maybe we can all do the dinner or maybe lunch one day?
Kristen, Jenifer, Megan and anyone else, are y'all up for dinner maybe on Saturday night? Or brunch on Sunday, after we all get done at CORM?

[praying4my1st]

Rose -

This whole process is so confusing & I haven't even started my first cycle! I'm glad you figured out the pricing for the procedure! God Bless You! Praying everything goes well for y'all tomorrow!

I hear ya....I'm so tired of these Prenatals and BCP's. I need something smaller in the prenatal vitamin....I'm not good with pills, even those tiny BCP's get 'stuck' sometimes LOL. And these BCP's make me feel like crud, I'm nauseous all the time...it's not fun.

My booklet shows 3 spots for the shots; the back of your arm, thigh and abdomen around the belly button. I was going to ask though...last time when I donated we gave the shots in my hip, so when giving it in the belly area, how close to your belly button did all you ladies go? I don't want to do it in the thigh or the back of the arm as I bruise easily.

Well I'll let you know these prenatals go. They are chewable orange flavored. So we'll see!!!

[babybearjmd]

Pris, cramping can be really good! I had both spotting and cramps. My cramps weren't that bad, but they were there.

[Passionscientist]

Indieblue - You can give your shots at least an inch away from the belly button and out. I never did those other locations because well, they just looked a little tricky to get too!

Janice - I can probably do brunch on Sunday, that sounds fun! Of course, Sunday's are tough with the church crowds but we can probably make it work. Saturday night would be tough because I have two crawfish boils to go to on Saturday!

Any news from Jean or Zita today??

Ok, I'm home now. I stayed with my Uncle in Pasadena. I had my ER Tuesday at 10:00. They retreived 16 and called this morning -12 fertilized. We'll have to see how those go. I hurt yesterday but I'm feeling better this afternoon. I got the ring. That thing is bigger than I thought but was pretty easy to insert and I can't feel it. I'll have to post more later. I have some things I have to do to get ready for work tomorrow. I just wanted to check in and let you all know how it went.

[babywishes13]

Nikki, I'm so glad you're back! I've been thinking about you and wondering how it went! I'm so glad everything went well and you're ready to start the study. I have no idea when you're considered officially part of the study--I've been told different things. But I wouldn't think they'd have you sign the consents if it would be an issue for you to get in.

They put a balloon in my uterus which will be removed MOnday at my follow up visit. I got very worried when I read a prior post and saw that they were not accepting anymore patients for the study, since I technically have not been acepted in yet because of outcome of surgery. So I freaked and imeadiately emailed RE office to the study coordinator ? this. She then sent me an email back saying that I needed to drive to Austin today or tommorrw to sign consents...Then she sent me a different email since I have an appointment already Monday to come in I can just wait.. MAN that scared the crap out of me..
My question is.. by signing the consents will that mean I I'm offically In??

Also I love seeing the new BFP>> Congrates to you all ladies..

Thanks for all the support and sorry for the long book here

[babywishes13]

JHLucas--congrats on your ER and fertilization report, sounds like everything went great!

Jennifer--Congrats!!! That is awesome news! So happy about all the BFP's!

Megan--so sorry about your low beta, I hope it rises quickly.

Indieblue--I was getting sick from the BCP's, so I just started taking them right before bed with some juice and a small snack, like toast, and I never got sick again!

Kristen--hope your headaches go away, that is no fun! I have been having some really mild headaches on and off, not too bad, I think it may be the Lupron.
