Hi everyone! Cant take names, just too woozy!
Nikki and pags, best of luck for today!

That's fantastic news and I bet DH is happy too. I told you they would find swimmers! Rest up

yobaby, this is a great place and a little addictive.

So out of the 12 embabies... only 3 are normal and 1 possibly normal. A few others would be compatible with life but severe complications and most would have been miscarriages. so i am thankful to be spared but still wishing they were all normal. Anyway i am blessed to have three and i am praying that when i get to my ET that those 3 goodies are still growing cells.... please God....let my embabies make it.

Okay my best thoughts are also with you girls. lets keep April hopping with hope and December -Jan popping with babies.

having 3 left is great! I'll they are still thriving! Congrats on being reunited with your embabies!

Maybe I wouldn't have been as confused in the beginning. (Who am I kidding....I'm still confused!!) Thanks for all the info and look forward to joining you guys on this journey.

well ladies I am going to spend my weekend waiting for , the funny thing is that I have never been late in my life except when I got pregnant and I am not pregnant now!!!! (maybe it is the BCP).

So I hope no one gets cancelled.

Cathy, I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time at work. My sister runs a clinic for autistic children and she is always drained from in house issues!!

Gracieb, 3 wholesome babies is all you need, good job and good luck.

Fertilization report!

The clinic called and said that of my 22 eggs, 17 were mature and 9 fertilized! They said that was good odds but now I'm envious of others with better results. DH is relived at least that his swimmers managed 9!

I asked about 5-day transfer, and he said that their criteria for 5-day is at least 5 embryos of superior quality and at least 8 cells. They won't know about this until Sunday morning, so I'll have my ET scheduled on Sunday then talk to a doctor.

I'm still pretty uncomfortable from the ER. Feels like my bladder is super inflated but when I go to the bathroom, it's just normal and doesn't help the feeling. Planning on taking it easy today.

Yobaby! We are lucky to have you spend your 2WW with us! Good luck! Don't go crazy!

LadyR-12 eggies! Hooray! That is a fabulous number! I hope your eggs have a great date with DH's sperm. First dates are always fun.

GracieB-3 great embryos! Congratulations! That is so wonderful. I hope all of them stick around. (I want at least twins myself...people think I'm crazy...but, I'll take as many as I can get. )

Tracilynn-so who got kicked off?

CathyH-I'm so sorry that you have been having issues with work people. At least you won't have to see them for another 2 days after today! THinking about you!

We have a lot of ERs and ETs here today! April is really hopping along! I am happy to report that my constipation is on the mend...hopefully permanantly! I talked to my RE and she didn't seem worried. Then I have been taking my colace, metamucil, took 120 ounces of gatorade/water yesterday, and eating lots of fiber. Stay away constipation!
