Here I am. Still stimming. Day 10. My E2 levels are oh-so-slowly beginning to rise. I just started Ganirelix today and go back tomorrow morning for my next follie scan. I feel like my body is torturing me with how slow I'm responding.

Hello ladies. I POAS this morning since, I figured, I was about the equivalent of d10. I'm 4dp6dt (embryo was graded a 6 and was starting to hatch) unfortunately it was a bfn but I've been trying to tell myself it's too early but I see postings from others that got results this early. I will probably test again tomorrow morning.
QOTD: I work in technology, on the business side. I love it. I have a great boss, flexible schedule and can work from home when needed. And the team is really great.

Wherever you are, whenever it's right, you'll come out of nowhere and into my life." ~ Michael Buble
@daydreamernyc - don't give up hope yet - I only got the faintest of a line 8dp5dt. I tested earlier got a BFN and only tested before my beta so i wouldn't be surprised by the call from the nurse.
@ButtMonkey34 - I could have written your response to the QOTD. I too am in finance and only becuae I fell into after college when i needed a job. I don't love it but it's tolerable and I make decent money, have a lot of vacation days and job flexibility. One day I hope to have a job that I actually find fulfilling and love.
Hi sweet peas! I'm on a quick break at work and will read through all the responses later, but I wanted to quickly update that my fert report said 8 out of 9 eggs fertilized, and I'm so over the moon about that!
Now I just anxiously await transfer.
QOTD: I'm a paralegal. Mostly, I like the hours and the health care. I used to teach kinder in private schools... and the benefits were non existent, so I made the choice to switch.
@Pookster1020 thank you, that actually makes me feel much better!

Hi ladies! Congrats to all the BFPs and to those i between ER and ET.
I had my egg retrieval this morning. They retrieved 17 eggs! It was surprisingly easy. I'm relaxing on the couch now. I'll update tomorrow with my fert report.
I am a first grade teacher. I love it. It's my tenth year and it is very rewarding. Albeit, sometimes parents can be a drag.
GL to those about to do ER, ET or waiting on beta! It will be here before you know it!
*******bfp beta #2 warning********
My 2nd beta just came in at 650. Not quite doubling from 353 but my clinic likes to see 66% or more increase in 2 days and it beats that. They said everything looks wonderful so I am just trusting in them and God's plan (easier said than done of course).
I haven't updated my siggy so I'd like to stick around here a few more weeks and root everyone on if y'all are okay with that.
QOTD: I do project management and process design. I am always learning new things and my company has great benefits and my job is flexible so that if I need to I can work from home.

Hello! I'm 3dp6dt and I will say that this wait is going better than my last twelve.
If I am as lucky as I was the last two bfps I've had, I could get a result tomorrow morning or Sunday. I am so hopeful. I've tried checking my hope at the door but I haven't found that it curbs the hurt of a loss so I'm just letting myself be hopeful and enjoying it.
QOTD: I'm a lawyer with a busy solo practice in a tiny niche of the law. It allows me to do a lot of trials and have tremendous flexibility. Sadly, the pay stinks, but I feel fortunate to absolutely love my work.
Hi all,
@cwoodward777 i'm so sorry. FX @ChristieH917 and @jen102279
AFM- ER yesterday, 14R, 6M, 6F. I'm hanging on to very little hope with the need for freeze-all and PGD. I won't get another update until Tues/Wed. Is it bad that I want to drink mega doses of wine?
QOTD- I'm a Dietitian in sales. The best part is definitely the flexibility.

Wow...so, I honestly can't believe I'm writing this and that it's 'my turn'. I'm 7dp5dt and woke up this morning at 6am and couldn't wait any more. Beta was scheduled next Friday annd I got them to move it up to Wednesday, but I still had to pee on something. Yesterday, I tested on a wondofo and thought I may have seen a shadow of a line, but convinced myself it was my imagination. Today, there was clearly a line on a FRER. Now, anxiously waiting for beta on Wednesday. It just doesn't even seem real to me yet...

Thank you so much to all of you wonderful ladies for your support. Yesterday was pretty hard on me, but as time is going by and things are sinking in, I am doing much better today. I am still waiting to find out if my 1 egg has fertilized. I know I only need one. My RE has told me that I have a "beautiful uterus" so I keep hoping that this one is THE ONE!. I am sure that it would have been so much harder if I didn't have the support from all of you!

QOTD: For 9 years I've worked in a 911 center. From answering 911 calls to dispatching officers. Now I supervise a shift in the center. I'm passionate about my job. It's thankless at times but I believe in what I do. And I love it!
@IFinTN great news!

Wow...so, I honestly can't believe I'm writing this and that it's 'my turn'.
I'm 7dp5dt and woke up this morning at 6am and couldn't wait any more. Beta was scheduled next Friday annd I got them to move it up to Wednesday, but I still had to pee on something. Yesterday, I tested on a wondofo and thought I may have seen a shadow of a line, but convinced myself it was my imagination. Today, there was clearly a line on a FRER. Now, anxiously waiting for beta on Wednesday. It just doesn't even seem real to me yet...
