[BabyD225]

Sekky.. Awesome report!!!! yayy

Flowermal! Hi! I wrote to you on the other thread too! good to see u back! xoxo

Em- I grew up right by woodmere! North shore is closer. My best friend graduated NYU dental... that's great for you! Do you guys live in city too?

Alicatt- Thank you for clarifying! I felt the sharp pain and cramping during my ivf cycle and I literally feel nothing now... I'm trying to just relax and let it all happen, I guess more worried now since the miscarriage. Plus, laying in bed is boring. I have watched so many 80's movies and now i'm watching Nat Geo. I wish I could get up and clean or something. I even googled the definition of 'bedrest' lol. I don't like staying in one place.

Yay Sekky! Hope you are taking it easy and hope that scan goes fine- can't wait to hear your fert report!

Congrats on being PUPO BabyD! I will pray so hard for you that this one sticks and that you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

 

[everhopeful]

Just a quick message on my phone. Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well!! I'm following you all and praying that you ALL get your BFP's!!!

Ali- enjoy being pregnant!! Try not to worry about numbers. And with Noah I was convinced from day one I was carrying a boy. No idea why, just convinced!!

Will write longer personals when I'm back at my computer. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still stalking and praying for you all.

Xx

 

[BabyD225]

Thanks Edamame!! I hope so too!

Ali- I had a feeling I was carrying a girl during my last one... because I was so hungry and felt ugly.. dont know how to describe it but I just didn't feel that glow! Old wives tale was true for me... it was XX! I also craved pickles, lemon and spicy food! So if I have those cravings again I guess I'll assume it's a girl. But you never know!!

Me and BabyD, I just have to chime in and shout out to my hometown of Queens. I'm sure you heard the story of the little girl that hung herself from the bullying in school...I grew up only a few blocks from where she lived. Been thinking a lot about my old neighborhood lately. I miss it.

Mells! Too funny.. PM me... I did hear about that little girl.. how horrible! My sister in law's family lives over there still. Welcome to come visit me and see it!

Hi Ladies!!

BabyD I wouldn't sweat the sharp pain too much as I don't think everyone gets it or maybe it happened over night? I can't believe you googled bedrest! that is something I would do! I didn't have much choice in the matter. Being single I had to care for myself and the doggies. I did lounge on the couch most of my 2 days of bed rest but getting up for things here and there. FX'd you are mostly done with the bedrest now!

Sekky can't wait for your fertilization report.

AFM.. I've had cramping most of the day, not severe, but it's come with increased CM! I was so concerned at one point that I thought I was spotting (in white shorts). Alas it must be some increase in CM for some reason
Here is a picture of FRER's from Wednesday, Friday and today (evening) as the lines are darker for some reason! Almost as dark as the control line

Yay, Ali! Looking good!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Ali- yay! That's awesome getting dark!

 

[L4hope]

BabyD I don't remember any sharp pain. Only AF type cramps shortly before my first beta.

Ali your pee sticks look great! Increased CM comes with pregnancy...isn't that lovely! I would check my undies nonstop in the first tri thinking I was spotting when it was cm. All good signs for you!

 

[Em260]

BabyD - we live in the city. I'm hoping we can move out to the suburbs once I graduate. I'm just a little tired of city life. I love the Woodmere area because it's so close to Long Beach. DH and I love going to the beach in the summer

Mells - I read about that little girl how heartbreaking . How are you doing? You're getting started tomorrow yay!

Ali - great lines!

Flowermal - welcome back!! When are you getting started again?

 

[tinkerbell197]

Hi ladies Ive been on here a few times over the last few weeks. Im now on my 2ww from a fet I had 2 excellent 2 day embryos transferred on the 24th. In the end they had to thaw 6 but Ive still got 14 frozen (Fingers crossed I don't need them just yet).


Anyway I know its way to early to have any pg signs, so I know what Im feeling is the awful progesterone. Anyone else had cramps and feeling sick the day after ET? I was awake most of the night feeling sick and this morning feel really light headed.

Any info would but great, I never had a transfer because I ended up getting ohss after EC so Im clueless to what I should and shouldn't be feeling. Thanks xx

 

[Em260]

tinkerbell - congrats on being PUPO! I had cramping the two days following my ET. Maybe you're dehydrated and that's why you're feeling light headed. If you continue to feel sick today you should call your doctor.

 

[Mells54]

BabyD, thanks for the invite. I want to go back with DH and show him all the places I used "hang out." Someday when we live a little closer.

Em, yes I start Lupron today! I'm getting very excited. 5 Jun is my baseline and then it seems things will speed up. BTW, my aunt lives in Long Beach and Hurricane Sandy destroyed her house. We used to walk to the beach from her house. Hopefully, the beach will be restored.

Ali, those lines are looking good. I bet your next beta will be super high. I think it's natural to worry...I'm just so happy your got your BFP! That's a definite move in the positive direction!

Tinker, congrats on being PUPO.

AFM, dreading the Lupron headaches that I'm sure I will have soon enough. But definitely worth all the pain in the end.

 

[alicatt]

Tinkerbell.. it could be irritation from the transfer causing the cramping. I bet it's the progesterone causing the nausea. I had it in and off in cycles where I wasn't pregnant. FX'd that you are feeling better today!

Mells.. so happy for you! It won't be long before you are PUPO!

AFM.. insomnia last night... feeling pretty good right now, so that is a plus! Will continue my POAS addiction tonight I am hoping by Monday my FRER lines are just as dark as the control. They are almost there now! Then on Tuesday I'm hoping for a strong beta.. something over 200.

Is it true that boys have low rising betas? If so, interesting!

 

[Em260]

Mells - I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt's house I hope she's ok. Yay for starting Lupron and hopefully the headaches won't be too bad this time around fx!

Ali - I'm suffering from the worst insomnia too! I just posted about it in my journal. It's been going on since my transfer so I think it's a combo of high estrogen and maybe the medrol? Hope you get some sleep and me too. Interesting about boys and low rising betas

 

[alicatt]

Em.. sorry to hear about the insomnia! It is not fun! I am so tired but can't sleep! I am hoping it will be better tonight. I think I might dose myself with a Benadryl tonight! To make sure I sleep!

 

[BabyD225]

Em- I know the five towns very well.. grew up around there. And my DH lived in Long beach for a long time, we even think of buying a condo there. My parents just finished rebuilding their home from Sandy... the south shore got destroyed. I'm on the north shore and it literally was a joke of a storm. Just a few branches down. So strange!

Mells- I bet we would be able to find people we know in common, my sister in law and her sisters grew up one block from you!

Tink- we're in the tww together! I dont think dizziness is normal...but you are on bedrest and that can make anyone feel anything! I'm happy I'm getting up and walking around today, although my butt is so sore from the PIO!

So I'm off bedrest today, no cramping like I felt during IVF implantation... makes me feel like it didn't work this time, but I"m going to continue to act like it did and hope for the best!

Ali: if it helps, for my first pg that ended in m/c, my FRERs were much lighter than that at 10dp5dt. So, things are looking good for you I hope your next beta is strong and gives you reassurance.

 

[sekky]

The embryolist forgot to call. ( very annoying) so I called and we have 12 embryos. All 12 were fertilized normally. So depending on their development it's either day 3 or 5. They will call me on Tuesday to let me know.
