Hey Kari, sorry about your difficult day yesterday. I POAS this morning and, or course, it was a BFN (6dp5dt)! I'm a little discouraged but I do know that it is still really early. I just couldn't help myself. I'm very impatient too!!! I knew I was going to do it before beta. There was never a doubt in my mind. I was a little happier and optimistic after I read my horoscope today. I'm not too into that sort of thing, but I thought I'd see what it had to say during all this IVF stuff. Here's what it said. I sure the heck hope it's true!!!!

You are generally pretty comfortable with things that are more (or less) than they appear to be, but today's shattered illusion may trouble you more than usual. Let your feelings flow -- things get better soon!

Nikkib74 - Good luck tomorrow with your ET tomorrow!!! I hope everything goes well. Glad to hear you are feeling better too!!

Ryan, congrats on the twins!!

We found out today that we are also definitely having twins!!! We guess that Baby A was just hiding at the last ultrasound. Baby A's heartbeat was 160 and Baby B's hearbeat was 164. Woo Hoo! We are still in shock (I really had settled my mind that it was only going to be one) but we feel very blessed!

We meet with the embryologist first to go over the report and see what we are working with.

I really have a different feeling this time. I mean this is our first IVF(two previous IUI), but I just feel more positive and a feeling of "This is it"!

My RE has given me a vallum(sp?) pill to take for the procedure. Had anyone else had a sedative for the transfer?

Anyway as always, baby dust to all and congrats again to all who have "buns in the ovens".

My Re gives Vallium too, after we talk about the report and right before we go in to the transfer. I thought it was strange but it really helps with the nervousness. They said it relaxes the uterus.

Good luck tomorrow and lots of

to you! My ER is tomorrow and my transfer is Monday so I'm right there with ya!

nikkib74 · #**3323** (**permalink**) 07-24-2008, 12:18 PM

Tree- Thank you so much! Baby dust and sticky vibes for you too!

Trisca - Good luck tomorrow with your ER. I hope you get lots of nice eggies!!!

Stacey (GA) - Congrats on the double blessing!

I am right there with you on the "shock" feeling, but it is the best shock I have ever had!
I have my nexy u/s on Monday, and I can't wait to see those heartbeats again!

callygirl-ingeorgia · #**3326** (**permalink**) 07-24-2008, 02:08 PM

Nikki, good luck on your ET tomorrow!!

Tree, good luck on your ER tomorrow!!

I can't wait to hear more good news!

Thanks for all our support ladies.

Kristen and Hopeful, how are you ladies feeling? Hopeful, good luck on your ultrasound next week! Kristen, have you "officially" told everyone at work yet? I am still trying to hide it but I don't know if I can last another 4 weeks!

hopeful23 · #**3327** (**permalink**) 07-24-2008, 02:29 PM

I am exhausted! All I want to do is sleep or lay around. I have been feeling the nausea too, alot. It is off and on all day long. I am always hungry, but when I try to eat, I don't eat alot. Those are about the only symptoms I am having right now.

I unfortunately had to tell my job about it, so they knew why I was missing work for appts all the time. I wanted to wait a bit, but oh well. I am now too excited to keep it from anyone now. I just have been praying every night that I don't jinx myself, and that all continues to go well.

How have you both been feeling?

callygirl-ingeorgia · #**3328** (**permalink**) 07-24-2008, 03:16 PM

Hopeful, I hope the nausea goes away soon. I get it to, from time to time throughout the day. Sometimes I get it if I wait too long to eat and other times for no apparent reason. Luckily I haven't thrown up yet!

And when I get hungry, boy watch out. It is like my stomach is saying "you better feed me now or else!" Sometimes I have very specific cravings. Like last night my body wanted a nectarine (not a plum, or peach) a nectarine! Luckily I had several in the fridge. Or my hubby would have been making a late night supermarket run!

I am also very, very tired. When we first found out that we were pregnant I was still going to the gym a few days a week and walking around the track. Now all I want to do after work is go home, put on my pjs and lay down!

And I am still trying to hide it at work, only a few people know (including my boss). But at the rate my tummy is growing I don't think I can keep it a secret here for another 4 weeks.

Hang in there, I hear everything gets better once you get pass the first trimester. Let's hope this is the case for all of us!!!

SheriS · #**3329** (**permalink**) 07-25-2008, 08:29 AM

Well girls, I think I'm out this round!!!! I had some brown spotting, with a little red this morning and now I have terrible cramps like

is on her way!!!! I'm pretty crushed!!!

callygirl-ingeorgia · #**3330** (**permalink**) 07-25-2008, 08:39 AM

Sheri,

It isn't over until the fat lady sings! Don't give up hope yet. It could very well be implantation bleeding. I am saying a

for you that all is well and the spotting/cramping is just your little one snuggling in!
