June 2nd is going to be a great beta day for alot of May ladies.

Can't wait to see the BFP coming in this week also to give us a boost.

Yoga girl--I am just as obsessive. My body has been feeling crampy like AF which it does each IVF cycle but then I start getting doubts. PIO is evil... I even looked up online pictures of blasts and compared them to my pics and hoping one takes. i keep asking DH what did the RE say again?? What did the embryologists say again about the embie quality??DH says that he said 4 were better than average. I was too scared to ask the grade and be upset. Just a few more days to go of neurosis. You put in four--quads. Wahoo!

When is the eariest you can POAS? I haven't decided yet.

I won't be here for the Betas of sandyesea (beta 5/26),mamashuga (Cat) (beta 5/27),migmel (Melanie) (beta 5/27)Roxyv78 (Valerie) (beta 5/28),vinjosmom (Elizabeth) (beta 5/29),rhart (Rose) (beta 5/29)
josephine (Tracy) (beta 5/30) but as soon as I get back I wanna hear about all of you. I hope we get ALL !!!!!! This is our month girls.

I planned tgis trip a while ago because I was too scared of my results, I needed something else to think about. Now I am a little nervous about traveling because my mom called me and scared the life out of me. She talked to my OBGYM in Brazil and she told her I SHOULD NOT travel because is way too early in the pregnancy and it will be a risk for me and the baby. Now I am freaking out and I can't cancel because the tkt is non-refundable. I am still having cramps every day....
I'll try to be really careful I guess. I am scared and nervous and that takes a little of pleasure away but oh well.... this baby is the most wonderful thing that happened in our lives and I'll make sure it continues to grow healthy inside of me.
I'll talk to you girls when I get back.
Maria.

Maria I went to Mexico when I was like 7 weeks PG with my son, everything was fine. I have only heard of not flying later in PG. Have a great time!!! Bon voyage!!

I'm 34 and for some odd reason only produced 3 follies (produced 12 for IVF #1). We transferred 3 embies day 3 and I've got 5 days to go before my beta.

I wish everyone on this board lots of luck and thanks for letting me wait with you all!

. I'm on my 3rd cyle and yet anxious in the wait. How are you feeling?

[missywojo]

Okay. I am officially obsessing. I am googling embryo development, blastocyst transfer, etc. I am sure to cave to the stick tomorrow. Ugh. I really need to get some work done.

[pray2bmom]

I have been on bedrest since my ET on Saturday morning. We transfered 3 grade 1 embabies and were able to freeze 2. I am so excited and nervous all at once. I hope this week flies by and we get lots of . Congrats to all the girls that have already gotten their . I woke up early Sunday morning with stabing pains three times - do you think it it something happening. I have also had cramping on and off - this is an emotional roller coaster. Good luck to everyone! Sending a .

[nalongo]

congratulations to all the . you gals have been so busy! wow! those with , it's not the end...the time is very near .

i haven't had time to read all posts...stephanie if you're there, i "borrowed" your bfp signature. it's soo cool.

to everyone.

[vinjosmom]

Ok, so four + HPT's later I'm still getting a faint line. When does it get darker? I'm only 7dp5dt so I know I'm still really early but I want a dark line. I'm also getting these twinges that come and go in the front so I guess that could be my ovaries or maybe the embryo trying to burrow in more and create some room.

Who knows but I'm totally obbessive now and I e-mailed my nurse to see if I could go in a day later for my Beta. She is pretty by the books so I'm guessing I'm going to get a no.

[kelliejo]

Emilysmom- I am not sure if the anxiety ever goes away, regardless of what cycle! Anyhow, I am feeling ok, but trying to interpret every twinge. I've already re-read everything on the internet that was ever posted regarding IVF, protocols, techniques, success rates- I even donwloaded the CDC data on a spreadsheet and analyzed. Mostly it was just to keep me busy during the 2 day bedrest following transfer.

So- other than being completely obsessive- I'm ok.

I am going to POAS tomorrow. I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. I need to be prepared if its a BFN.

[Yogagrrl]

Emilysmom- I did the same thing, have been looking for pictures of blasts and comparing them to the ones that we transferred!! I really thought I could hold off the craziness a few more days but it looks like it has a mind of its own. I did have to run to the store this morning and, of course, I couldn't stop myself- I bought a 3 pack of HPT's...though I am going to try to hold off for a few more days. I tend to say that and then tell myself that I just want to make sure the hcg is out of my system (even though I know by now it is) then I POAS and get cranky, so I POAS again, etc...downward spiral. Are you planning to POAS? I keep telling myself that the only time that we had a blast as pretty as one of the ones we transferred this time was in December when I got pregnant...so how could this not work and then I freak out because I think I'll be crushed if it doesn't work this time. Argh. I know it won't stop me but I want that !

How is everyone else holding up? Any other thoughts on POASing?

Great minds think alike about the researching embie photos.LOL. I'm not getting any work done today. I'm thinking the earlies my HPT would be on Friday. That way if BFP I could try and get it done early. I haven't bought any yet.

[Emilysmom]

I' m having twinges and a lot of CM (TMI). Anyone else with the egg white CM?

[Yogagrrl]

how can you tell about your cm? No suppositories??? I wouldn't know b/c I have annoying, gross, prometrium suppositories up there ALL THE TIME, on top of the PIO!!!

I started looking at embie pics last night and comparing too!!! BTW, what have you guys been told about the window for implantation???

And CM? I have the suppositories, too....so I can't tell either. Sue, are yours prometrium (sp?)?? No PIO shots for me....

Also, POAS ~ I haven't decided.....dh wants to wait until beta......I don't think I can wait that long!!!! Also, we have another challenge, 1st beta is 6/6 and 2nd beta is 6/8, well, we're going to be out-of-town 6/5-6/8. RE said they could give us a script to go to a lab out of town, or we could just POAS and do beta on 6/9 at their office.

[Mamashuga]

I found this on one of the posts when I searched implantation.
Timeline of what happens after you transfer in here, plus a question

Hi everyone, I thought I'd post here as well as the ladies of May string. I'm starting my 2ww today.

I'm going to try to go at least let a week go by before I get too obsessed. ... but, I can already tell. Last time I did severat home tests (you can name a brand). About 9dpt I received a faint line and did have a BFP (although it was ectopic). I know I will test again.

Good luck eveyone .

Tara.
