Kari - good luck tomorrow on your ET!! Sending you lots of
 !!Kristen - I posted on the other thread...but CONGRATS again on the twins!!! Wonderful suprise!!! My transfer went "perfectly" yesterday. We transferred 1 blast. I felt like I got a little bombarded by the RE's 'recommedation' to only transfer one...I couldn't hold up and tell them I really wanted to do 2. I'm such a chicken!! But, I am feeling good about this 1 little embie inside me. Please pray that it sticks around!!!

Thank you everyone for such sweet well wishes...I truly believe in miracles now!! I'm so thankful to have so many of my "sisters" sending up prayers each and every day!!
 Kari - I called Maryanne the minute I got out of the u/s (she's on vacation but told me to call her the second I got out) and she just couldn't believe it. She then called me like four hours later to see if it had sunk in yet and she said that she had three people that she was determined to get pregnant and two of us were now and YOU were the third. I have a GREAT feeling about your cycle honey...it's YOUR TIME!!!! PS - Hi MOM!!!! I have completely lost track of transfers right now, but I think Sheri's was yesterday and Kari and Sara (who never posts but keeps me updated via cell phone) are on Sunday. Has anybody heard from Hopeful23?? I'm hoping her ultrasound went well!! Hey, what do you guys think about trying to keep our little group together after the trial just to keep up and ask questions during our pregnancies (and the FETs)??

Kristen - Congrats to you and your DH!! I bet everybody at CORM is shocked that you are having identical twins! That will be so much fun for you and your family. I am so happy for you. I love the idea of keeping our group together. I like to hear how everybody is doing.

Kristen - you and I are living proof that beta numbers don't mean squat! LOL! I'm SO happy for you and your babies! I just can't believe it. It's great that Maryanne is such a supporter of the women in this study too!
Kari - good luck in the morning and I hope all goes well for the transfer. I think keeping the group together is a great idea! I've loved having a place where I can talk about things that most folks don't understand. It's been great getting to know all of you. Stacey (TX) - when is your 2nd u/s? Mine is Monday at 2pm.

Thank you so much for that Kristen! I was out shopping with my friend this afternoon and my mom called me and was like- I know you are out but let me read you Kristen's post. Girl she couldn't even get through it without crying!!! You have no idea how much your words meant to both of us. That was very sweet of Maryanne. She has really great through all of this. I am so anxious to get to my ET tomorrow and see what my babies have done. After 9 yrs of doing this I have to say I am not normally optimistic but for some reason this time I am. It just feels right to me. My mom absolutely thinks you are the coolest chick and really wants to meet you (especially at a Passion Party-LOL) and hug you. I think keeping this board going is a great idea! I am totally game! Congrats on your perfect transfer Sheri!!! You will be  very soon!!!Ok well I guess the sooner I get off here and get to bed the sooner my transfer will be right?? I will post as soon as I am home resting at my mom's house- you know how you have to let them mother you sometimes.

Cheli, my 2nd u/s is Monday at 9:30! I am excited to see our little bundle! I then have another appointment with u/s with my obgyn on August 4th to get her up to date with everything!
Kari, are you PUPO yet?? I bet you have two beautiful embabies snuggling in for the long haul. I hear ya on the 9 years TTC. We were on the same train for nearly 7 years and wow, what a ride it was. I thought we were never going to make it to our destination of babyland Kristen are you still feeling "not pregnant" or are you feeling differently yet?

Morning everyone! Is it just me or am I the only one who can't sleep worth a crap?? LOL.
Kari - I hope your transfer went well this morning!! Let us know what happened!! Stacey - I'm definitely feeling different, though if I didn't know I was pregnant it wouldn't be on the top of my "possible reasons" list . I was doing a Passion Party last night and got really dizzy so the hostess had to lug over a chair and I had to do the rest of my presentation sitting...which was actually kind of nice! LOL! And I get pretty quesy throughout the day but no vomiting yet...so I guess I'm thankful that my symptoms have been pretty mild. I'm bummed because my boobs have not grown at all...sheesh! LOL!

Update on Kari
Kari is at Momma Urb's house on the lucky couch from ET. They transferred back one 3AB and one 1AA. She is resting now and will post when mom lets her up.
It's your turn now to make me an aunt again.

Sorry for being MIA... My computer is down at home, so I had to wait till I came into work today... Well, my u/s went awesome on Friday. Twins!
Two sacs, two heartbeats! Baby A is 6w5 days (today), and baby B is 6w4 days (today). I am sooo excited and can not believe after just hoping for one, I am blessed with two!Kristen - I am sooo happy for you! Isn't it just the most amazing feeling? Did they give you a EDD? Mine is going to be sometime between Feb 17th and March 10th, depending on how everything goes of course! Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support!

Ryan - Congrats on your twins! That is a double blessing. I hope things continue to go well for you.
Kristen - Take care of yourself. That is worrying that you are getting dizzy. Maybe you are not eating often enough? If the nausea gets too bad, they can give you meds to help with that. I'm sleeping really bad too. I've been waking up every 1.5 to 2 hours all night long. I took a long nap yesterday because I was exhausted from lack of sleep, and then I slept worse last night. Sorry to say it just keeps getting worse for me. And this new bump that is growing makes it hard to get comfortable! But I still love the fact that I'm pregnant and that a new life is growing inside of me and I wish the same joy to all of you ladies. I had an u/s on Friday with mom. Baby looked great! Moving around, sucking the thumb kicking. Mom really wants to know if it's a boy or girl, but we couldn't tell. I keep saying "he", and mom says "she"... so who knows.

Ryan - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is awesome!! They didn't give me an "official" due date, but they said my original due date was March 9, but that they wouldn't want me going beyond 36 weeks, so that moves me to around February 15 I think. I could handle some Valentine babies!
Hollie - I think my dizziness came because I was having to stand so long at that party and it was REALLY hot in the house. Once I sat down and got a couple of crackers in me, I felt fine . Kari - Congrats on being PUPO x 2!!!! So I came out of hiding at work today...I decided screw what people think, I'm going to be comfy because it's HOT and I'm pregnant dangit! So I wore a maternity shirt to work and my secretaries jumped all over that! LOL...so the cat's out of the bag, but I'm comfortable and that's all that matters right now!

Well the embryologist just called and said that none of the 7 made it to the freezer. Which is fine with me because after 9 yrs of doing this we had decided that this was our last attempt. I feel that this will work and that I won't need any more attempts! Right! God has a way of taking care of things for us and I feel that's what he's doing. I have seen plenty of these women on here have none left to freeze and still get
so I am happy with what we transferred yesterday and will just keep praying!

I have a ? for all you ladies about BCP..
Did any of you have any weird side effects? I have been getting crazy car sick feeling pretty frequently the past week and heart burn. Is this normal for BCP? I have never had to take BCP before so not sure if there are any side effects. Thanks
