My nurse called this morning and said I could lower my PIO to 1cc (as opposed to 2). YAY! She said my progesterone levels were great (kind of on the high side)...no wonder I am exhausted. The fatigue has set in BIG time today...like a load of bricks.

I couldn't resist...after days of achy bbs and a little nausea...I took a HPT. It came back positive!!! Took one yesterday and today...both positive...and another this afternoon....positive! My DH & I read that the ones we bought (store brand) detect at 50 miu's whereas FR is at 25. So I am fairly cofident that it worked since we tested 3 days early from the beta...hopefully they will...11 Comments -

Mild cramping days 3-6 after transfer
Sore bbs 7 days after transfer
Is it possible for the progesterone to be causing these side effects even though I've been on it for 10 days already? Trying to be cautiously optimistic that it's from PG.

Hi Ladies...
I am feeling very sad today. I've been fine up until last night when I couldn't sleep and every thought ran through my head. I am so scared this is not going to work. I've invested everything and I just want to be a mommy. My DH is anxious too and asked if I would do a test in the AM but I told him to wait at least a few more days because it was still really early. I can&#...9 Comments -

Been a little nervous lately...
I've had some mild cramping that started Friday evening and has lasted off and on through today. It's like the beginning of AF cramps...very mild. I haven't had any implantation bleeding but I know not everyone gets that. I know I won't start my period because I am doing PIO shots until they tell me to stop but I just don't know what this crampin...

Well I am 3 days into my 2ww and it is NOT easy....
I've been lucky enough to stay at home and work the rest of the week but I am also kind of bored. My mind wonders everywhere since I am home. I've been good about steering clear of baby shows but I am still watching Jon and Kate plus 8. I LOVE that show. Those kids are so precious but I am sure it is a tough life.

The ET went really smoothly. The worst part is the full bladder (as many have stated before) and the speculum. We transferred back 2 embies. My doctor grades them on a 1-4 scale...4 being best. We had a 4+ and a 4-. Can't get much better than that! We got pictures and I put them in little frames.
Have a small case of indigestion...I guess from laying around so much?
Hope everyone is doing well!...8 Comments -

ET is scheduled for 12:30pm tomorrow! I am so excited...
Not sure if I told anyone this but I work in the buidling right next to the IVF center so all day I was thinking about all my little guys working away in the next building. I even wanted to "visit" them but I doubt I could. I am glad that 12 have fertilized but I am kind of sad thinking about the fact that all of them won't bec...5 Comments -

Called the IVF center this morning and they were able to fertilize 12...they only thought 10 were mature but I guess 2 little guys didn't want to be left out of the race. Waiting for my RE to call & schedule the transfer for tomorrow! So happy..........6 Comments -

Looks like we won't know how many fertilized until tomorrow...
The RE said he would call us today but we haven't heart from him and we tried calling the after-hours number but they are saying our doctor isn't on call. Kind of frustrated but not too much longer and I can go to sleep and then call them tomorrow AM.
I hope this isn't a bad sign...is it possible that NONE of them f...2 Comments

Once again I've fallen into that pit... and it's so hard to get out. Why is it that while I'm in that dark pit I forget all that I've accomplished so far? I once heard a saying..it was..." I'm not where I want to be, but at least I'm not where I used to be". From now on that's my moto.
I'm determined to make a better life for my kids and ...3 Recommendations2 Comments
