My beta will be 6/17!

Great news!! I was watching for your post to see how many you transferred. You're PUPO with triplets!!

I'm using the Crinone...YUCK! The nurse said that it wouldn't come back out....I beg to differ LOL Sadly we have to use it in the morning, so I guess I'll put it in at the earliest possible time and then lay back down to see if it stays in better. Someone also mentioned a lot of build up......and getting it out after 2 or 3 days, any comment LOL?

Karystos: Good luck today....I hope they are positive cramps!

Lauren: WOW, sounds great!!! What doc do you see again? Dr. K said I could transfer 3 on day 3....I hope she doesn't change her mind. Is your sister better too? I told them I got sick on anesthesia, sadly they were unmoved by that fact and I threw up all the way home after ER

KGG: good luck...what a great birthday present that would be!!! That's my SIL's birthday too That'll be the day of my Beta as well....so we know it has to be a lucky day now!!!

Sandy: Boy, those numbers sound great!!! Congrats

Jessica: Congrats to you too!!! Since I'm in a study they give me my first Beta 14 days from retrieval...so it'll be early too sadly. I see why your RE made the decision he made too....very smart guy! I pray you get your BFP too...we probably won't have any frozen either, so I'm in the same boat








I'm so glad you have 5 embies! Your transfer is coming right up!

To top things off it's my anniversary today. I hate to get bad news. It will ruin the day.

I'm really hoping you got good news today!

I'm so so sorry. There is no way most people will know how sad you are. But, there are certainly a lot of ladies here who understand. It simply sucks. You will have your time. Do really nice things for yourself, you deserve it. Tara

List Of Everyone's Status

Ladies,

I have mostly been posting on the MAY 2WW string. So, I'm a bit behind. I went back several pages to see if there was an updated list of everyone's status? Any chance I'm missing it? Please repost, I'd love to catch up. There is so much going on. I have been obsessed with my own drama. .. keeping all my local drug stores in business buying HPTS and POAS sometimes twice a day.

Have a great day everyone.

Tara.

Yea, it was pretty comical really (I can say that now, but it was horrible then). He said "honey, I ordered you a plain bun...try to eat something" and I just said "hand me the bag". I hated to do that...but gosh, when you gotta, you gotta! He didn't say a word for miles...but then he said it was okay. Again, strong stomach!

I'm waiting on the RE's office to call and see how many of my babies are still growing Yesterday they were all 2cell? So we'll see how they did overnight. Can't wait till tomorrow, I really hope they don't make me wait till MOnday now LOL

I just took my 2nd HPT (yes I know the embabies aren't back home yet LOL) and the test line was the very very faintest positive....can the trigger be almost out of my system already? I took it Monday night...so that's 5 days today! If so then YAY!!! Yesterdays test (mid day) was a bit darker...but it didn't show up immediately, but still within the 5 minute test time frame...so I think it's slowly dissipating!

Unhappy second beta

Ladies
Just wanted to let you all know that my second beta came back today and it was horrible - 15. THe nurse said they don't hold out much hope for this pregnancy but will do more bw tomorrow. The baby's due date was the same as the son I lost - I am so sad....
