Sometimes I feel like I'm being rational then other times I feel like I am being too paranoid. Would you guys feel the same way?

Sorry about the long post...just need to get it off my mind. Thanks for reading.

yes, I would be worried too. Can you take some time off? especially the week following your ET. Flight attendants work pretty hard and they're on their feet alot too.

I'm hoping she isn't placed here next year. I'm hoping to be out of work pregnant and happy at that time to though

Tonight I inject follistim. I am excited to be at the next step in this process!

WOOHOO stims! I bet your headache is from the lupron. If you make sure to stay hydrated (I think) it helps to keep the lupron headaches away. I didn't drink enough water the other day and the next day I had a headache all day that would not go away with tylenol so I just started drinking water and it took all day to rehydrate myself. Let the menopur sit for 10 minutes before you inject and it will be less stingy. Follistim is ~easy~, tiniest needle, no burn.

When does DH go in for his surgery? My dad had sleep apnea surgery and it helped, but he does have to use a cpap machine.

he goes in May 19th so after all the IVF and hopefully we will have our results of the IVF by then and it will be good results

I was wondering about you - figured since you had your ET you were too good for us now I almost posted yesterday asking if anyone has heard from you. Those same storms are about 30 minutes away from me right now -the wind is HOWLING and there's a tornado on the ground about an hour from here.

If you test at 6dp5d then don't let the result get you down b/c 11 days past is still early and it could show BFN when you are preg. It all depends on if you have a late implanter or not. It seems like most women who are preg will get a + preg test at 13 dp ER. I'd probably do it too - secrets are fun! but just tell yourself beforehand it may be too soon and if you get a BFN that you won't let it get you down.
Are you having any symptoms? DO SHARE! cramping?

I've been doing really well. I had a "Do I have OHSS?" scare the last two days, but today I am feeling back to normal. I am SOOOOO excited for my ET on Sunday. I'm bummed I won't be able to make it to church, but I know God knows I'll be doing my ET so he will bless me still.

I am thinking of transferring 4 if they are all good enough. The last two times we transferred 3 each time and I am thinking I should try something different. I'm not sure though....

It's a balmy 85 degrees where I am...so all of you on storm watch can come visit me.

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.

That is great news, irene_adler. Congrats!!

Hi April Ladies...just resting the day after my ER (feeling a little crampy today).
We got 11 mature eggs and 9 of those fertilized. I asked my RE this morning if that was good enough to do a 5-day transfer and he said "sure, let's go for it" so I'm really excited about that. The only downside is that if I did a 3-day transfer I'd have one of the most experienced doctors to do it but the 5-day transfer day falls on a day that one of the newer doctors does the transfers. Bummer..I'm just a little worried because of my tilted uterus and them having a hard time finding out where to place the embryos last round. Oh well, hopefully the embryos being more mature this time for transfer would make the difference and bring a BFP.
My DH is a such a goober. After he finished in the spank tank, he proceeded to tell me how much he enjoyed the movies especially the one called Brittany Rears (sorry TMI). I told him that he got the fun part out of the daily procedure. He just smiled.
Hope everyone else is doing well...we're not far from our BFPs now...

Sounds great! I want to do a 5 day transfer too. I'm sure the new doc will do a good job, especially since he knows ahead of time that the uterus is tilted.

LOL about britney rears. The first time my DH went into the spank tank he said he decided to to turn on the tv and the video that was playing was naked girls riding 4 wheelers. YEEHAW! He said it was so comical he had to turn it off and "regroup"
