Good morning hopefuls!!

Not much to update. Today I'm 6dp5dt, + digi HPT yesterday, and + FRER this morning. I'm scared and so nervous, but at the same time, I'm feeling pretty peaceful. I hope that's a good sign! No symptoms really. A little gassy and other bowel issues, but I'm chalking that up to the PIO. I've also been having a dull achy pain on my right side around my ovary, near my hip bone. It's been there since Saturday, it was gone most of Sunday, and has been pretty constant since yesterday. I've found walking around helps.

QOTD: I love sushi, but I don't think it's much of a guilty food. I'm also a pretty big fan of appetizer types of foods, that's not so good for you, lol. Things like nachos and mozz sticks! yum!

We need a limbo category. :-/

I guess for now I'm a BFP. 1st beta was 14 and so far I still can't turn a FRER positive. So, doesn't look good but won't know for sure until 2nd beta tomorrow.

Ugh!

Hi Hopefuls! 

Congrats, Daysie!

Big hugs, Boots. I hope your beta rises and you get out of limbo and into a solid BFP. 

No real updates here either but I finally got a positive on a digital last night and again this morning. I'l trying to stay comforted from that and stop POAS already. I'm driving myself nuts!

QOTD: I love movie theater popcorn with all of that so-bad-for-you "butter topping" layered on thick. It's SO bad for you, yet so delicious and fun to crunch on during a movie.

Good morning!  I'm officially in the 2ww!  We transferred two (one grade A, one grade B) yesterday. I'm cautiously optimistic with a dose of reality to keep me guarded, I guess.  The transfer was a breeze!  I guess I wasn't looking at the screen though when he inserted my embies.  I'm disappointed I missed them!  I must've been concentrating on not peeing on everyone!  Now on to the obsessing about doing everything exactly right!  I say that my plan is to wait to POAS after I go do my beta. I just want to be as positive about this as long as I can. We'll see how it goes!

QOTD:  it sounds disgusting, but peanut butter and syrup!  

Good luck to everyone!  Hugs to those who need them.

Can someone put me in the 2ww.  I am  5dp5dt today.   I woke up the morning after my transfer with 1/2 a PIO rack.  My cancer boob won't change so the other boob is now SIGNIFICANTLY larger than the other!  I look and feel a little lopsided.  Other than that a little fatigue I have no symptoms that can't be attributed to the PIO.  Of course I'm hoping for few signs.  We are switching from morning PIO shots to evening because DH feels too rushed in the morning and to be honest getting up an god half hour early just to ice my butt is getting to me. Still trying to hold out and not test until the 24th when my 1st beta is scheduled.  I can't have the blood drawn until the morning of the 25th so I thought the 24th would be okay to poas. 

 QOTD:  Guilty pleasure? at least once a week I sneak out on my lunch and get a chubby chicken burger and french fries.

Just got a call...only one embryo made it to freeze. I was a bit disappointed so I didn't even ask about the grade. She said that is actually above average. Hopefully, these two I've got in my belly now will be all I need though. Be positive. Be positive

ETA: 1out of 5 made it to freeze.

Hello lovely ladies!

I'm 3dp5dt and feeling good. I POAS today to make sure the trigger was out, but I still saw the faintest of lines on a FRER, so I'll have to be a bit more patient. On my last fresh cycle I tested out the trigger 5 days after the shot but I also used a different brand of hpt, so I don't want to open just now that particular can of worms...

Good luck everyone and hugs for those who need them <3

QOTD: As I saw the question, one thing immediately popped into my head: cheese fondue! When I'm feeling particularly needy, I buy a portion for two and eat it all by myself or until I start feeling sick. I won't admit this to anyone IRL. lol

Hey there hopefuls!

Well some of you may have seen my post already that I am feeling a little uneasy...I took today off and am curled up on the couch with The Bachelor from last night and already feel a little better! In am now in the dreaded 2ww. Beta March 4th.

Q: hmm I feel like I have had many guilty pleasures lately haha. But if I had to go with one thing it would probably be Doritos. I have never eaten a whole bag but if it weren't for my will power I am sure I could.

TTC since June 2011
DX: DH (30) severe MFI, severely low count & low motility
Me (32): all clear
Appt with Urologist 5/21/12: exam, ultrasound, bloodwork all normal.
Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test :(
Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.
2nd SA 6/18/12: sample is "adequate for ICSI"
Plan: IVF/ICSI July 2012!
ER: 7/26/12. 15 eggs retrieved, all mature.
TESE/TESA/aspiration from epididymis, no motile sperm found :(
froze all eggs, the saga of praying for good sperm continues.
8/3/12: 2nd opinion from MFI uro on biopsy slides. Suspects "partial late maturation arrest."
Plan: more SAs, third biopsy/TESE with frozen back-up either from DH or DS.
SA 8/17/12: Zero sperm
SA 8/23/12: Zero sperm
9/26/12: SPERM FOUND! 15 eggs thawed, 12 survived and were ICSI'd, only 3 fertilized normally. Refrozen as embies and will thaw in Nov. Please survive and grow!
All 3 survived the thaw on 11/15/12!
FET 11/17/12: transferred 2, one 4B, one 4C. Beta 11/30:BFFN
moving on to DS
DIUI#1 2/18/13,50mg Clomid cd 3-7, Ovidrel trigger, Beta 3/4/13: BFN.

I am excited about all our BFPs!  Hopefully it will continue! 

I am hanging out in the 2ww at 6dp3dt.  Beta #1 is Monday the 25th but I am planning on POAS Sunday.  They still haven't let me know if our final embryo made it to be frozen so that doesn't seem like a good sign.  They said once they make it to that stage they don't grade them anymore.  We are going to New Orleans this week so that should help time pass faster but I am sick with a cold so feeling pretty crummy and worried about my little embryos!

QOTD: I am a sucker for cheese.  Nachos, cheese and crackers, you name it!

Hi, this is IVF#2 for me.  I'm on day 4 of stimming and if it goes like the last time my ER should be around 3/1.  Is this the right thread for me?  Or is there another starting for March?

Just got a call...only one embryo made it to freeze. I was a bit disappointed so I didn't even ask about the grade. She said that is actually above average. Hopefully, these two I've got in my belly now will be all I need though. Be positive. Be positive

ETA: 1out of 5 made it to freeze.

ET tomorrow, and then I can move to the 2ww group!  I'm nervous and excited.  

My friend/co-worker in the office connected to mine brought me an 'ET good-luck present'.  She covers for me whenever I have an appointment and knows about our IF journey.  It's a book about when pregnancy sucks (When you're miracle makes you miserable).  She said it should work no matter what happens...if it sticks then it'll get me through morning sickness, if it doesn't stick it will make me feel better about not being constipated.

QOTW:  Anything covered in butter.  The more butter you can put on it, the more I love it.

Hey Hopeful Hearts! Congrats to all the BFP's, keeping up the trend from January!
I had my ER on Saturday and we got 9 eggs, all were mature, 6 fertilized. I got the call this AM that we will be doing a 5 day transfer on Thursday since 5 of the embryos are at the 8 cell stage and 1 embryo is at the 6 cell stage.

QOTD: guilty pleasure is cheese and wine! At least I can enjoy my cheese right now :

Married 7/11/2009. TTC since 6/2011. Saw RE in 1/2012 dx with unexplained infertility. Clomid with IUI 4 times all BFN. Moved onto IVF October 2012, 10R, 8F, 2 transferred, 0 frosties = BFN. RE moving to Texas so started with new RE in December 2012. Plan for IVF #2 in February. ER 2/16/13 9R, 9M, 6F. ET 2/21/13 of two embies, beta #1 3/5/13 505! Beta #2 ??

Today is 5dp5dt for me. I couldn't help it, I poas and unfortunately it was negative. I'm really hoping it was just too soon. We did a FET so does that make a difference since it wasn't fresh.
