I have never POAS before my Beta day but I think that I might actually take a test Sunday. I don't feel too nervous I guess because I have never actually had a TRUE BFP so as much as I want to believe I am pregnant it is just so hard to believe that our dream could come true!
I have been feeling pretty good just the occasional sharp cramp and a headache on and off. Oh, and the weird thing I had written about earlier when putting the second ring in. I am just glad to hear that I am not the only one who was shocked when they went to reinsert! haha It is honestly very weird!

Kari - I asked about that too and Maryanne said the same thing that DH HAD to be there, but when I told her it would be impossible (he literally just started this job and if he were to miss already he'd be fired), she went and talked to Dr. Schnell and she said she would call him on the phone the day of transfer and get his consent verbally. We also told them that if they had the ET early enough, than he could be there for the consent signing portion and then go to work and leave me and our poor, defenseless unborn children to fend for ourselves afterwards...LMAO! So I'm going to talk to John tomorrow when he calls with our fertilization report and ask how early we can do the transfer...hopefully not too early, but early enough for DH to go in, sign the papers and verify that I am not putting back in six embryos, and then he can go to work

Sheri- Yea!! I'm glad you are doing so well with your Lupron. Those shots are nothing- I remember Courtney being worried about those and then when she started the stims she was like- Oh those Lupron ones were nothing. LOL
Yep the cervical dilatation is on Monday and I am not looking forward to it - but it brings me closer to starting my stims that Friday so I'm excited about that! Kristen- Glad you got to talk to Maryanne. I didn't know they were such a stickler about it until Courtney sent me a text from her surgery room freaking out! LOL Hopefully they can work around it and he can be there to sign the consent! Stacey- I really hope you do test on Sunday. I just have a really great feeling for you this time.

Stacey - glad to hear you're going to test Sunday too! I just want to be prepared for the call at work Monday from CORM so that I don't freak out - either way! I'm just like you, finding it hard to believe that being a mommy is within reach. No sharp pains for me yet, but I know everyone is different. And yes, I just had to post this morning and let you know that my 2nd ring was "weird" going in also...I'm thinking a lot about you and our upcoming BFP's! Kristen - good thoughts headed your way for your top ten!

Jenifer - Sorry the ring is getting uncomfortable for you, just a few more weeks to go w/it!
Cheli - Congrats on your totsicle, one is better than none! Keep me posted if you POAS, I'm still debating. DH thinks I shouldn't, I'm torn! Hoping/praying to see your BFP soon! Faith & Shannon - How are you both doing? Thinking of you Megan - You definitely have a plan! Congrats and good luck!! Kristen - Congrats on the Fantastic 10! I hope they just keep growing and dividing for you! Saturday is just around the corner, I'm sure you are giddy w/excitement! Oh, my beta isn't until Wednesday, June 25th...unfortunately! Sheri - How's day two of the Lupron treating you? Stacey(CA) - Congrats on being PUPO x3! Keep us posted on your totsicles! Molly - Congrats on being PUPO x2! I'm so glad this time the quality is better for you. May your 2ww fly by! Nicole - Please try to stay positive, I have read so many positive stories w/a low number of eggs retrieved...as already been said, it's quality not quantity and so far they seem pretty strong! Good luck w/your transfer Friday! Hollie - Hope you get to feeling better! Heather - Congrats on your 2nd u/s, glad everything is looking good! Kari - I hope shows up for you soon, so can start stimming!! (after your CD of course, but I didn't want to focus on that little step too much) Stacey(TX) - I change out my ring tomorrow morning, I'm curious to see how it goes now. Though I'm having other issues of which the nurse says I can take nothing for, so THAT's annoying! Hoping/praying to hear of your BFP soon! Heather(FL) - Thank you! I'm dealing w/it, hoping it will go away! Bonnie said I can't use anything sooo, I sit/walk a little slower than normal. Nothing new to report here, still waiting to hear if we have any totsicles...just biding my time. My meditation CD says to imagine that the embryos have sticky feet...my SIL does this little sticky feet song/mini-dance and she just cracks me up..keeps me thinking positive and laughing, which is always good!

Melissa - Thanks for the Congrats. I'll keep all of you posted after I POAS Sunday morning. My DH will be out of town and I would love to surprise him with a BFP Sunday night when he gets home! If you cave and do a HPT (like me and Stacey(TX)) you have to let us know too! Hope changing of the ring went well for you.

You guys are cracking me up about POAS!! Safety in numbers eh?? I say do it Sunday EVENING!! Closer you are to Monday the better...and let Janice be a lesson to you guys, she POAS on Sunday and Monday and still got Negatives even though she was
!!! So be careful!!Ok, my update...the Ten Little Piggies (as we're now calling them on the March thread) are still going strong! I'm in shock really. But I'm thrilled too! So we've got (7) 8-cell and (3) 4-cell now. I'm praying those little four cell ones will make it to blast so we can freeze them too! So I'm all set for a Saturday transfer at 7:30 am!! I'm so excited!!! (And Kari - I have a good vibe about your cycle honey!!!) Nicole - How are your little ones doing honey?? Saying some prayers for you!!!

Cheli - I will let you know! The ring this morning, hmm...well it probably would have went better if I didn't have this stupid YI that the nurse said I can do NOTHING about. I just don't understand this, it can't be good for the embies...I wouldn't think anyway. Things did feel different kinda soft, mushy and fuller for lack of better terminology, lol. Is that what you thought? I'll have to read back to your post about that. Ok, so I ready your post and I DID have to go fishing for it, urgh, lol.
Hope you have a good day!
