Courtney - I'm so sorry that you are going through this scare, and let's hope that it's just a scare. Thank God the babies are still ok. That is a good sign. I'm praying for you and hoping that this clears up soon.

Courtney - I'm so sorry about what is going on. Rest up just like your doctor said. It's good to hear that the babies are looking good though. That's very promising! We'll all be for you and the babies.

Courtney honey - I am so sorry for the scare yesterday!! I would have been freaking out too!! I'm glad the babies seem to be ok and yes just rest, rest, rest. The one thing I'm wondering about is if they can put you on blood thinners to help prevent the clotting? I don't even know if that is an option so you might want to ask about that...but I know I'm on blood thinners because I have a blood clotting disorder that can cause miscarriages. So if they call I would just ask if that is something that they would recommend or no. I'm no doctor so that may not be an option. I'm sending you lots of prayers and since you are on bed rest if you want to post all day with rambling thoughts to keep entertained I'm sure several of us will respond back!

Sheri - Yeah for triggering!!! You are almost PUPO!!!

Kari - Dying to know when you are triggering!!

Stacey and Cheli - PLEASE hurry up with the bean counts!!!

Megan - Still no ? Did you walk in the mall in white pants? Did you ? Situps? Squats? Eat spicey food with your hair in rollers and feet elevated?? I'm sorry honey...the witch will show when she's good and ready...evil thing that she is...

Courtney - you know I'm thinking about you and praying for you. Kari has kept me updated on all the latest with you and I just know you'll be okay. Hang in there sweetie!

Kari - can't wait to hear how the u/s went and to see when you get to trigger! Hopefully tomorrow night.

Stacey (TX) - I bet you already know how many beans you have...I can't wait for you to post!

Thanks for all of the well wishes for today's u/s. I'm very anxious for 1:30 to roll around...I just can't wait to see a beating heart. I think it will finally make it real for me. I'll post after I get home from the appt. Talk to you all soon!

Still waiting -

Nothing yet!!

I have done all except for the roller thing!!!

The only thing that really bothers me is the call from the nurse and the mention about the pregnancy test.

It was as if she did not know that I had done one.

I wonder if she did not look at my file!

She was a different nurse than I had talked to before!

WOOO HOO Sheri! How exciting for you! Good Luck on Sunday!! I can't wait for your post- you will do great I just know it!

Stacey- I looked for you at CORM but you were already back in the room and you were gone when I got finished. I can't wait to hear your bean count! I tried to bribe Maryanne to find out for me but she wouldn't! LOL She said- You know it will be on Fertility Forum in no time-those girls don't miss a beat! LOL

I talked to Cheli on her way to her appt and she knows to call/text me ASAP b/c the wait is killing me! I am thinking twins though!!

Well I had my appt. today and things are still moving along slowly. Maryanne did my u/s today and said that I have a bunch b/c they are all on top of eachother. The good news is that they are all the same size which is what they like to see. The not so good news is that they are all like 12's. Which is fine but it doesn't look like my ER will be on Monday. She said she thinks maybe Wednesday. I am kinda hoping that Dr. Schnell ups me back up to 150 Follistim instead of 75 so things can pick back up. She thinks she was just coasting me until Dr. Schnell gets back since she wants to be there for all my procedures. She said I should plan on being back in on Sunday morning b/c Dr. Schnell will be back in the office and will want to personally do my u/s that day. I might go tomorrow but for sure on Sunday. So that's all I have for right now. I just stopped by my mom's to pick her up and go have lunch and run errands.

Mom says Hi to everyone!!

I will post more after they call me back this afternoon.

Courtney, How scary...please rest up and take your mind off the negatives for awhile....there is SO MUCH to be grateful for!

I'm waiting rather impatiently for Monday morning, day of beta #1. Not sure if I am having any symptoms or if it is just all the progesterone and other drugs in my system making me feel a little off. Boobs are huge, lovely discharge and a bit tired. Hope to make the BFP list.

What do you all think?

Should I call again?

I am not certain that my file was even looked at, if she did not know that I did have a - pregnancy test!

I am just so frustrated!

I want to move on with the FET!

I'm triggering tonight at 7 and going in for ER at 7 on Sunday morning. She said I have to be there at 6!! Good lord that's early!!!! My E2 increased a lot in 1 day too. It went from about 1900 yesterday to over 4000 today. I'm only triggering with a 1/2 vial of HCG. I have about 25 follies too. for no OHSS!!


vicperg - Good luck Monday on your beta!! for you.

Any word on the bean counts yet Cheli and Stacey?

That has all been done already. It was determined that I have MTFHR and have to supplement Folgard. I am going to get with my study nurse about the Heparin and Lovenox too. I really hope that I will be. I can't see why they would not allow that
