    @prudence9-2 -ahhh I can't believe how soon my shower is either!  My mom and I are so excited!  She said 20 people already RSVPed yes and 4 no...lol.  still plenty of time!

    @hopeful_mom- tested again???  when was the first time you tested?  you're holding out on us!  I AM SO HAPPY YOU GOT A FAINT LINE!!!!  can you message us pics of your tests???  I love looking at them lol I'm crazy!  And a squinter is great at this point!  It better have worked with all you've been through and now this crazy reaction.  Don't worry--they were stumped with my rash too.  The nurse had to go get the dr. ASAP and they were looking at my body like WTF.  my itching was horrible.  I was bleeding from the scratching, so I know how you feel with the uncomfortableness.  I didn't take anything for awhile since no one knew what it was, but then they had me take benadryl, and it did help.  ask them about benadryl!  it's safe!

    And I keep thinking of you and your rash from so many moons ago...how long again did it take to go away?  I remember it was for a while???  Was it from the crinone too!!!  It kills me that one dose was fine but 2 dose just put me over the edge!!!!

    @prudence9-2  i'm going back to cvs and see what cream that I can get.  Its just crazy how awful it is.  As long as it doesn't upset pnut I will deal.  Can't wait for transfer!!

    @fuzzydust -yes, I remember you!!!  how are you?  sometimes I lurk on the boards in here to check on everyone, and I see your name :)  where are you now in the process?  thanks for saying hi!  

    @hopeful_mom -lol god knows, I could be missing things!  I had my nice 4 day jewish holiday break, but the past two days back busy at school ahhhh ...yes, my rash lasted awhile because they didn't know what it was from.  then, they suggested stopping the crinone (I didn't think it would work), but thankfully after a few days it started improving.  when I did PIO I also broke out in an injection site rash, but crinone was worse because it was my whole body!  I hope you get some relief soon.  it did take several days after stopping the crinone for it to totally improve...the scars from scratching lasted awhile!  also, I noticed today my baby jumped a box!  I was like OMG I can't believe there is only one box left!!!!!  I remember in the beginning thinking how long it would take to get to the end of the ticker!!!!  crazy!  yesterday the dr. said the baby is about 3.5 pounds!!!

    @LoveDontCostAThing, r u kidding the first thing i noticed was the box movement whoah!!!  its getting real!!!  i love it!!!

    AFM: Im just so paranoid that anything i take shouldnt hurt the baby!!  I got a bunch of stuff from CVS and the pharmacist was very nice and felt terrible for me.  I got benadryl (AGAIN she said why haven't I been taking this for days already!!!) some type of tucks pads to help as going to the bathroom burns the hell outta me!  And finally cortizone 10 so I'm hoping to feel relief soon.  I feel like a kid and i never want to go to the bathroom

    @LoveDontCostAThing sounds like a big baby shower!  B)
    you’re getting soooo close!!! So exciting!!!!

    @Hopeful_mom I hope you’ll start having some relief soon. This is ridiculous!!

    @FuzzyDust congrats on the BFP!!! I totally get not adding the ticker soon. I would probably wait for second trimester. *** TW *** after one m/c and one CP, I feel like I’ll be jinxing myself if I add that ticker. Haha ***

    Ladies the results are in.  The tears are following as I get to say it is a BFP, beta is 75 which makes me nervous of course BUT they are happy with progesterone being over 40 and E2 is 447 SO I'm gonna try not to be a nervous wreck and pray for some doubling numbers on friday!  I'm thinking my lil pnut took a lil time finding just the right spot to get all cozy in 

    Funny I didn't mention my fire vag as I"m sure you all want to kno D ...the RE that was on call fit me in along with doing a urine culture.  I will save the details except my RE stating she has never seen such a severe reaction before, and my  vag is anger.  Super infalammed and on fire from the inside out...can't wait to see how she does with labor   At least I can make jokes...praying I will start to feel some relief soon.  There was still a bunch of crinone that needed help coming out.

    @FuzzyDust -CONGRATS!!!  how many did you transfer?  that's great news!!!  I am so happy for you and @hopeful_mom!  you guys deserve it!!!  can't wait to hear your beta!

    @prudence9-2 -we invited about 40 to the shower, so it should be a nice turn out!  I already got a few couple gifts in the mail, which is making it more and more real by the moment!  we have to get the furniture, but painted the room and got a new ceiling because parts were lose.

    @hopeful_mom -WAHOOOOO!!!!! Congrats on the beta!!!  how many days past transfer are you?  you're earlier than most people for first beta I think, so that sounds like a good number!  are you allowed to put cortizone down there???  I don't know which creams are safe, but I know some aren't.  I was scared to use them too.  My nurse suggested sarna anti-itch lotion, so I used that, but not on my vag lol so who knows!!!  I think benadryl should be the most helpful with inflammation and itchiness.  so sorry you're dealing with this!

    @lovedontcostathing Today is 9dpt so it's early but still registering ;). Just need it to keep on going up!! I tested this morning and the line looked the same and I freaked a Lil but tried to relax.  Reminding myself hcg takes 48hrs so I'm trying to stay calm and let pnut do its thing.  And boobs r sore so that has to b a good sign :)

    i am taking benedryl and some cortisone ointment so it stays on better.  I'm annoyed my RE didn't have me come in on Monday do get this checked out.  I was in so much pain already.  Why make me suffer longer.  Just reminded me of MC where I suffered in pain longer too...not a reminder I need!!

    im scared to use anything but I want my body to feel good for this lil munchkin too!!  I'm continuing with what I have and then we'll take it from there.

    i even skipped acupuncture to let me body rest hoping that was a wise decision.

    @prudence9-2  ur up next mama!!!

    @LoveDontCostAThing, I transferred just one. But now I'm very curious to see my Beta, since I was testing positive on 5dp6dt, and had symptoms even earlier (nauseous in the morning, elevated sense of smell).  Freaking out a little bit - what if it split?  :# Not that I mind having more, but I was told multiple times that I have small uterus, so it'd be a bit scary.

    @hopeful_mom -omg I still have two months left...it has gone soooo slowly!!!  I'm sure it seems quick to other people...I feel like other people's pregnancies always seem fast!  I literally feel like it's been a year!  BUT we're still not ready, so it's good to have some time!  Baby is moving more, which is cool, reminding me, "hey, I'm here...coming soon!"  Still can't believe it!  He will sometimes push my stomach and you feel/ see like a hard lump rise...like he's leaving his foot there for a moment.  I hope you're feeling better...is it a UTI also?  I had a UTI in the beginning of my pregnancy.  it's important to catch them during pregnancy.  they gave me an antibiotic, and it went away.

    @FuzzyDust -it might be twins!!!  how dark are the hpt?  I know that only tells so much anyway!  your beta is soon!  that sucks you have to wait until Monday to hear results...such torture!

    @LoveDontCostAThing, I had a first positive at 5dp6dt, and yesterday (7dp6dt) it was pretty much full on second line. Morning nausea and sore throat came even earlier than the positive test. Twins would be super exciting, but also nerve-wrecking scary with my small uterus. I guess Beta can't show how many there are, only the U/S can. Right now my only wish for whatever is there to stay there and grow stronger every day!
    BTW, Love the way you talk about the baby in you <3

    @LoveDontCostAThing,  what happened to pretend baby doll?  I was thinking about that the other day!  It has to be amazing feeling the lil bean moving around.  I know you can never feel "ok" BUT feeling him move around has to be strange and fantastic at the same time!!  What are your cravings now?  And yes I feel like its gone super fast!!

    @FuzzyDust -thanks!!!  I was trying to describe how it feels because it's still such a new, awesome feeling...life inside of me...so crazy.  that's great your line darkened.  I hope the baby/babies stay put and grow strong too!  I know the u/s seems forever away, but it will be here before you know it!

    @hopeful_mom -did you get your beta results today???  omg I have to practice with the pretend doll...thanks for reminding me!  my newest assignment from the dog trainer is to lay a blanket and the fake baby on the rug and pretend to talk to it/ change it's diaper and not allow the dogs onto the blanket!  I did it once so far.  my husky didn't care because she was lying across the room.  my sheltie mix tried to get to the "baby," but I kept him away lol and he got the hint and went to eat his food.  nothing will be the same as a real baby though...so that's the true test!!!  feeling the baby move is the most reassuring feeling!  i'm getting used to the idea that sometimes he's sleeping and still, but I like it better when he is moving!  I love feeling the ripples across my stomach.   I wonder what he is doing in there!?!  I haven't really had cravings, but I am hungry a lot more often, so need to snack throughout the day.  I do like sweets a lot though!

    Yes third beta is monday.  And then US g-d willing!!  I think it will be the 2nd week of oct prob 10/11.  I'm pretty sure my place does appt for US every 10/14 days. 

    Are u all set for the shower? Sounds like you'll have a nice turn out!

    i do think the pups will be good when baby comes, they'll protect him.  I see so many cute videos like that posted.

    is he a night owl or more active during the day? In general my family it night owls so we laughed that my sisters baby would be dancing in her belly at 2am.  I wish I was at that stage already!! Glad ur enjoying ur snacks u deserve it :)

    @hopeful_mom -I can't wait for your first ultrasound!  It will be here fast--even though it'll feel like forever.  until then you will analyze everything!  how is your allergic reaction?

    can't wait for my shower!  my mom is planning it!  my uncle's new wife is also helping!  I have been creepily lurking my registries and of course changing things here and there.  something annoying about babies r us is that things go out of stock randomly...LIKE MY CRIB AND DRESSER...so annoying...and other small things too.  

    I realllllllly hope the pups are nice!  i'm not so worried about Sadie, the husky...she's a baby lover and might be a little "in his face," so i'll have to work on boundaries, but not nervous about her being aggressive.  I really hope that Tucker sees the baby as someone to protect and "part of the pack."  The good thing is that he is a very trainable pup and loves to people please...very smart dog, so hopefully he will be a good listener.

    I've been trying to look for a pattern in baby movement because from what I've read they say there is usually a pattern, but it seems pretty random.  He will be awake, asleep, awake, asleep..not at any particular time!  He doesn't keep me up at night, but I am up pretty much every other hour to pee and/or adjust positions because sleeping isn't very comfortable!

    @LoveDontCostAThing I can't wait for my US I'm hoping that will make me feel a bit better, need to kno pnut is in the right spot!!! I keep saying u have all that room just for you.  I just want it to be 2018 already!!
    Im still on fire like this is my new normal it's crazy!! I now put vasoline in the bathroom to apply every time so that's actual helping coat things a Lil better.  I just hate it. And it's so itchy I would like to think that means it's getting better but it's been like that from the beginning and that's not usual for me. I also just gargled with warm salt water for my sore throat, I'm a complete mess!!  
    annoying with babies r us that would upset me for sure!! Did the toys r us bankruptcy thing have any impact?

    @Hopeful_mom sorry you’re still in pain!! Oh and as for using the bump on my phone, don’t use the app, the app sucks! Just use the browser on your phone.

    Hi ladies!!

    Just got the call 3rd beta 1308
    I don't think I could've asked for better I'm thrilled!!

    the nurse originally seemed very quite and sad at first when she spoke and was giving me a heart attack like it was bad news. Which I told her so I needed to breathe and then let her continue....she really freaked me out.

    prog dropped a lil more to 27.5 and E2 to 197 she said that everything looks great.  Is our E2 suppose to be higher??

    First US is scheduled for 10/16 ugh so far away...

    @prudence9-2 -great news about your transfer!!!  I really hope it's meant to be that the three of us are pregnant at the same time for a little bit...we've kept in touch for so long!  you are the only two who I keep in touch with on here!  my feet/ ankles definitely don't look as swollen...although, they really are when I put shoes on they still don't fit!

    @hopeful_mom -wow, that is an excellent beta!  I am thrilled for you!  any new symptoms?  and wtf about your fire vag...did they tell you to put the vaseline on?  what are the doctors planning to do to fix the situation?  that's not acceptable to keep you suffering.  could it be the PIO?  I just looked in my notes and my E2 did rise for my first 8 betas...yes, 8...lol.  They did 9!  on the 9th it was around the same as 8.  See below:

    -Beta #1: 143 (they wanted at least 50)
      Progesterone: 83 (they wanted at least 30)
      E2: 539 (they wanted at least 100)

    -Beta #2: 428 
      Progesterone: 101.75
      E2: 650

    -Beta #3: 2,059 
      Progesterone: 98.29
      E2: 816

    I could keep going, but I won't unless you want lol.  Every body is different, and if the nurse says your good then you are.  Mine's tone of voice freaked me out once too.

    AFM, I took off today and tomorrow because I have a bad cold.  A parent sent a kid to school contagious last week...ugh!  Note to us future moms: DON'T SEND OUR KIDS TO SCHOOL CONTAGIOUS!  I ordered a glider/ recliner today for the nursery!  I need to start to get on the move in there!

    @Hopeful_mom that is a great beta!!! So happy for you!

    @LoveDontCostAThing glad ankles are slightly better.  That sucks about kid coming sick to school! Do you take anything for it?

    Sometimes I feel like adults should think about it too. One of my coworkers came to work completely sick last week. I told him he should have stayed home instead of spreading whatever he got. Last thing I need is to be sick! 

    AFM no transfer date yet. I should have a date (if all looks good) at the lining appt on Wed. thats also when I will get instructions regarding neupogen! Today on the bus ride to work I scheduled Labcorp appts for the next 7 weeks. As I will need to go once a week to check my blood count because of the neupogen... so scared of that medication :(

    @LoveDontCostAThing  i'm sorry you're not feeling well!!  BUT proud of you for taking off and staying home!!  you come first and your 32 weeks I'm doing the happy dance!!!  You're in the 30's...ah my dream :)  Can you PM the stats so I dont lose them. 9 betas nice!!  I don't remember that one and I've been there since the first one ;)  Did you do extrace vaginally? My first beta the estrace was over 600 and I have a feeling for me that why!!  The thought of putting anything up there does not excite me but I would still try if I need to.  I'm actually surprised at your prog levels too...and i mean that by it going over 40...my clinic said the test they do it only shows <40 so you know you're good but you dont know the amount.
    I actually bought that for one of my BFF for her baby and she used that thing forever so its a good purchase for sure!!!

    As for the kids being sick its so frustrating i'm sick because my niece got sick from her kids in class...its hard!!

    prudence9-2  I'm sure I've been that sick co worker going to work...one time i was coughing so much they sent me home  :s  In my defense I am a freelancer and you really dont get sick days.  You need to ware a mask at work only ur pnut is allowed to make you sick now :)  
    I think we are all concerned about this neupogen honestly but hoping this will be what your body needs for this lil one.  Its makes me feel better that you will be havng your blood checked weekly!!

    AFM: When did you have your first US?  I can't decide if I should bother my clinic with trying to get an earlier one.
