Same here - just waiting. It hasn't been as bad as I feared, and I've been able to keep my mind occupied. The first day I'll likely hear back from them to see how the 4 embryos do will be Wednesday or Thursday.

@gsancho I wish you could join me this morning when I pour me a mimosa. I think I'm going to need some liquid courage to make it through the day. I'm a nervous wreck already.
AFM I started my stims on Saturday. I had my first ultrasound this morning and saw 2 or 3 follicles starting. I should hear back from the nurse this afternoon with my bloodwork.

I'm not sure if I can stay beta or bust, but we shall see!

Just got the call with my first beta- 260! I'll go in for a repeat on Thursday, but for now, I'm just so happy. I had OHSS kick in late last week, so that's been making me miserable, but it's so nice to know it's happening for a good reason!!!
I have been hanging out a lot at IF lately but want to stay here too! I started BCP yesterday for IVF #1!
