Ifatfirstyoudontsucceed - have you had an official beta??  Thinking about you lots.  Hugs friend.

QOTD: I would relive my wedding ceremony!!  It was such a whirlwind and I don't remember so many details!  Plus, if I had any idea of how good my marriage was gonna be, I'd want to experience it again with that much more excitement.  

lin681

 If you saw my other post, I'm on day 4 of stims.  Feeling pretty good and they counting 19 follicles this morning.

QOTD: I'd like to relieve my first kiss with DH.  We were in high school, so the memory is very fuzzy. 

Awesome!!  I think we'll have several of you starting stims this week/weekend!!!!  First Kiss with DH!!... that's another moment I'd like to relive too!!!

KaraBear4409:

My transfer is tomorrow at noon! Eeeeeek! We are transferring one embryo. Now if I can just make it through the day! I'm like a little child on Christmas Eve! Qotd: DH and I went to Costa Rica last year for vacation. We were driving around listening to Jason Mraz and holding hands. I remember thinking that I have never been happier than that exact moment. It was such a great feeling!

Hahahaha!!!  I know that super excited anxious feeling you are talking about!!   So excited for you!!  Let us know when your beta gets scheduled.  Praying for a smooth day for you tomorrow!

Hello!

I had my egg transfer this past Saturday. We transferred one 4 cell grade B embryo and one 6 cell grade B embryo. I'm not too sure how I feel, I'm hopeful, but still disappointed in the lack of quality of my eggs. Just hoping they are still growing in there! Beta is next Monday the 22nd!

QOTD: I would relive the last visit with my great grandmother. She was 98 and had just had a heart attack. I went to see her and she looked great and was up talking about going home from the hospital the following day. I have her hugs and kisses when I left and fully expected to see her the next day. She died on my way home. I would give her proper good byes. Sorry for the downer now I'm emotional! Stupid hormones!

katmarso

Hi all,

Congrats to the BFPs, how awesome!!   Hugs to those who need them, I'm pretty sure I'll be needing them on Friday after beta.

QOTD:  I will relive to the first night I met my husband.

Wooo Hoooo.... one week countdown!!!  I relate to being disappointment on transfer day.  I cried like a baby when I got the update on our embies.  But gals get preggers with embies those grades all the time!!!!!

That's super sweet about your great grandmother... so happy you got to see her and visit with her before she passed!!

Best of luck to all of those who have transfers or betas this week...seems like there are a lot of us!

I just went and got my blood drawn for beta #2, so now just anxiously awaiting the results.  So nervous about this one!  Pleeaassseeee be a good number today!

QOTD: I would have to say I would go back to the day we found out DH's mom was in remission from Stage 4 metastatic melanoma.  It was an amazing moment.  Especially now since she relapsed not long after and passed away just after our wedding in '06. 

htn1763

I had my ET on Friday and we transferred 2 6 day blasts. They didn't tell me the grading but I know they only freeze the best quality blasts so I will assume they were the best Unfortunately I don't feel anything yet. With my fresh transfer I definitely felt a few twinges so it's already getting me down.

I will probably POAS starting Wednesday at 5dpt.

QOTD: I would go back to the last time I saw my grandmother. We didn't have the best conversation and I would love to have a do-over.

Amen to that!!! I so understand!!!!!! We will be 2ww buddies!!!!!

twistsandturnsto2

Well, looks like I jumped the gun a bit and will not be a Firefly after all. No sign of AF yet, CD36 and not even spotting. My FET schedule is hanging on the wall, mocking me I think, lol. It's at least 17 days to transfer from CD1, so I am definately pushed back to August now. I wouldn't have thought my hysteroscopy would have done this to my cycle, oh well. All I can do is wait it out!!

Good Luck ladies!!!! I will still be rooting for you all :]

Pr@yinforbe@n

My ET is tomorrow at 11:45!!! Eeeek!!! So stinkin excited I cannot wait to get past today!! If any of you have read my other posts you know that we only have one embryo fertilize but on my day 3 report they found a 2nd one that was just a late fertilizer!! So we have TWO embies waiting on us tomorrow! I of course want both in but DH is scared and said he wants to hear the docs opinion but I know he will say both!! So as of next check in I will be in my 2WW!!!! Wow cannot believe it is here!!
Good luck to all you fireflies that are around beta time!! Praying we get lots of bfp this month!!! And I am so very proud of you that aren't poas! I don't know how strong I will be about that!
QoTD: I would definately relive the night we got engaged. I was in such shock that I feel my response was less that it should have been! I would jump and cry of I could re live it!

Dangit!!!  Of course that hoochie mamma doesn't show up when you want her to!  You'll always be a Firefly so feel free to keep us updated on your progress!!!!!!

Hi fireflies!

((Hugs)) to those that need them and congrats to the BFPs already!!  I had my monitoring done this morning after 4 nights of stims (375 of gonal-f the 1st 2 nights and 300 the last 2 nights mixed with 0.25mg of dexamethasone).  I'm waiting for my phone call with the results and whether to take the ganirelix.  When I asked the tech if there was anything, she said no.  I'm hoping this just means nothing measurable, I didn't have the heart to ask her elaborate. I looked back at my notes and on my last cycle, I had 3 follies between 8-9mm last time at this point and my E2 was 60.  FX!

QOTD: I think I would want another 30 minutes of my wedding just to be with my H during that time.

Wow, congrats on all the BFPs and hugs to all those that need them. Best of luck to all those in the 2WW. Please send along any tips for remaining sane... I don't know how I am going to do it!

Update. Stopped BCP last night and still on Lupron. Praying for the "bleed" to start before Friday so I can start stims this weekend!!!

QOTD. So many great memories to chose from. I would probably say my wedding ceremony or beginning of my reception. It was such a blur. I have that on video though but I can't think of anything else at the moment and its not really the same!!

I just got 3 day report! Out of 10 fertilized 9 are rock stars. They range between 6-11 cell and are rated 5 embies at a 1(perfect) and 4 grade 2(second best) 

I have never ever had good embies like this, so it was a protocol issue the entire time. His sperm rocked it, there was like no frag etc.I know we are not out of woods, but I am for the first time hopeful that I may just get to be a mom, and at least in the game.wed will be a big day, I will get final report once they put them in.

Good luck for beta girls testing, hugs to those that are in 2we stressing (looking at you brewers(hugs) and to those that are feeling down, hang in there, you are almost there.ox

 I would relive wedding vows

kz's_girlygirl

Well, today was beta day, and I confess to POAS (3!) this morning before going- all BFP's!!!! I am in utter shock.  The beta came back at 153, and I go Weds for #2. 

 QOTD:  This is a really difficult question.  I think I would choose 30 minutes of swimming in the Bahamas with DH on our most recent vacation.

I'm on day 10 of stims.  Monitoring this am showed my lead follie at 17 mm, so I go back weds for another appt where I'll probably get the green light to trigger.  It's looks like I have at least 7 contenders but a bunch of little ones that might just catch up.  lining is 10.4 and triple stripe.  Looks like a Fri ER

Hey twists - my AF was SO late this last cycle, too - it was a 36 day cycle. WTF? I hope yours comes soon and stops you from waiting. It's so hard to wait. Either way, I hope August is your lucky month!

I am officially in the 2WW.  Beta will be 7/25.  We transferred 2 8-cell embies.  My embryologist didn't mention any grade level for them ~ not sure why but I'm worried now that he never said that. 

 

QOTD:  It's a tossup between first date with my hubby or our wedding day.  Both go by so quickly that I'd love to savor it all up again!

BabyVDM

Update - started spotting on Friday about 30 minutes after I got the first beta results.  FREAKED out and cried all weekend.  Spotting stopped on Sunday. 

Beta #2 - 1006 - YA HOoooooo.  I just need to breath a little and stay calm until the 1st u/s in 2 weeks.  Praying for a heartbeat!

QOTW - I would love to relive any of the times I spent with my Dad while he still was my Dad before the Alzheimer-like dementia took away his ability to have a real conversation.  He is still here, just not really, and I miss him so much.

Good luck Austin and everyone else in the TWW.  Fingers crossed for everyone.

Ahhh, still waiting for the call!  

You are so sweet.  We were so blessed to have her at the wedding, for sure!  We found out the day we got home from our honeymoon that she got the news that the cancer was back.  It was back to reality with a vengeance!  

Hang in there and I hope you get amazing news on Wednesday!!
