Faith - Congrats on taking your last BCP, I can't wait for Thursday night to get here so it will be my last! I bet you are so excited about starting stims! It's so close for you!! I already have a pack of HPTs, sounds just like yours, I think I want to do the same thing...watch it leave and
 watch it come back! From what I was told, looks like I could possibly start stims on 5/30. Yep, 10 units, I hope I'm like you! The BCPS didn't bother me too much, no weight gain...I was nauseated at first but then I started taking them right before bed and that helped. Come on Thursday...it's good for both of us,  all goes well w/your u/s and you get to get started w/stims! Stacey - I hope you get to feeling better! I just started my Lupron today, my husband is on pins and needles to see how it affects me, poor guy. Babywishes - Congrats on starting stims!! Your ER & ET will be here before you know it! Tina -  and congrats on your  !!Heather - Did you get my PM? I think of you frequently, I hope you have a wonderful getaway this coming weekend! Rose - Great division!! Thanks for the update! Pris - I'm sooo sorry sweetie!  Lua - Congrats on being PUPO! Get lots of rest so those lil embies can snuggle in good!! That's great about your frosties too! Mandi - Good luck today!! Please give us an update when you can! Molly - You're getting closer to Lupron, I know what a loooong time it seems to take! I just started mine this morning, piece of cake! Jean - How are you doing?? I started Lupron this morning, it was very easy. I loaded up the needle, but DH wanted to give it to me so I let him. I think he thought this was like the HCG because he rammed it in, thank goodness it was so little...I reminded him this one can be done gentler, lol. It didn't hurt, just itched a little afterwards. Moving forward w/the next step

Lua - That is great about the frosties!!! As for the pain and not being able to breathe well, have they checked you for OHSS?? That is one of the symptoms (along with rapid weight gain). Have you noticed any weight gain? I would call the nurse triage line and let them know that you are having pain and trouble breathing and to check you for OHSS. You had a LOT of eggs retrieved so you need to be careful about that. I hope you find out soon honey!

Babydust- I teared up just reading that you teared up over me. I will have to get unsung lullabies and thanks for letting me know about this. I had a coworker send out an e-mail to my office yesterday that we were unsuccessful and the 1st thing when I walk in our receptionist ask if I know anything and when do I leave for Houston? I of course just started crying and figured out she hadn't read her e-mail yet. I have to work or it would be a mess if I didn't. My poor offenders are dealing with a hormonal woman!

Melissa: YAY for Thursday LOL Can't wait!!! I keep thinking that if I stim well, I could be going in for ER/ET in just 1 week....WOW! I'm sure you'll be soooo glad to move on to the other steps in the cycle too, those BCP's seemed to take forever LOL Glad your Lupron went well too....my hubby hasn't given me any shots yet, I think he feels like he's not needed...maybe I should let him give me my stims LOL
Tina Lua: Hope you get to feeling better....glad to hear that you had embabies to freeze too..YAY!! Congrats to everyone in the 2ww now And those of you that are moving on to the ER/ET.....can't wait to be there too.

Well tomorrow is beta #3. I'm excited and nervous to get that number and find out if things are going as they should be. My appt is at 9:00 am tomorrow. I think I have to get bw and vitals check and get more crinone gel and probably get in trouble for something. I always seem to forget something or not do something right. Oh well.
If anybody else has an appt tomorrow morning around 9am, we could meet and chat. I will probably get there around 8:45. I live in Beaumont, so I like to plan on being early in case of traffic. I don't like to just randomly talk to people at CORM in case somebody is feeling down or wants to keep things private.

Update
Sorry, I haven't been posting much but I have been covered over at work tring to get caught up. I was supposed to go in for my 1st Beta on Tues. 5/20 but on Sun. I started having some brown spotting (sorrry for the tmi) so I freaked out and called CORM first thing this morning to see if I could come in today for my Beta. Well, they call me just a few minutes ago and we got a
I can't believe it! My Beta was 185 and I will go back on Wed to have my 2nd on done. Thank you all for the support and I pray now that the 2nd Beta doubles and everything continues to be ok.

Lua, I totally agree with Kristen that you need to get checked out for OHSS. Isn't there an emergency number that they gace us? I would call that number. Difficulty breathing is an emergency! The number during hours is 281-415-7264 and after hours it is 713-428-6125. If they deem it is not an emergency, then they charge $30, but I would rather get it checked out. It can cause fluid build up all the way to the lungs that can make it really hard to breathe. I hope everything is ok! Congratulations on your transfer! Your blasts sound awesome!
 Tina, welcome to the group!!! Congratulations on your bfp!!! zita, I am so sorry about your bfn! I'm so glad you have some little totsicles to get your bfp with. Your puppy story is hilarious. You'll have to let us know what CORM says! Kari, I am so sorry about your bfn. My heart goes out to you. I hope you are able to take a little time for yourself to grieve. I know that you will get your bfp soon. I hope you get that boxer puppy for your birthday. Megan, Happy early Birthday!!! I enjoyed breakfast with you and Jenifer yesterday morning. I really hope you get your bfp with your frozen cycle. Good luck at your appt this Saturday! Melissa I'm so glad you are so excited about your cycle! The lupron is so easy! I'm glad it went well! chinadoll, I'm sorry about the headaches. I had them on the lupron too. i started getting tired som eon the lupron and it continues on the stims. Infact I'm still tired now, but I'll take it. I hope everything goes well with the end of school! babywishes, I'm glad your stims are going well! Sticking yourself isn't fun. I iced everytime I did it. I just hate needles! it will be worth it! Rose that is a great fert report! Good luck tomorrow at your ET! Pris, I am sorry about AF. That sucks! I wish you luck on healing from this journey. babydust, I hope you ER weny well and you got some great eggies!!! Rest up today! Molly good luck on starting your lupron this week! I hope it goes well! Jean, way to go!!! You are PUPO!!! You can make it! Hollie, good luck tomorrow! I know you numbers will be great! HeatherJ, Congratulations!!! That is a wonderful beta!
