Great news @ChristieH917 ! Congrats @ky29 ! I know there are some betas today and Monday so good luck to those girls!
I am 4dp5dt today and still hoping to go beta or bust! Beta is on Wednesday. I have been super hungry lately (like waking up in the middle of the night starving!)... guess it's the progesterone.
QOTD: Christmas! Although Thanksgiving is a close 2nd.
**Signature Warning**
Congrats to all the BFPS! Love seeing this!
QOTD: Christmas Eve and Christmas - I spend XMas eve with my hubby and close friends, and XMas day with family.
Me 30/DH 31 Married in June 2003. TTC since 2008. M/c in Nov. 2008. D/x: DOR and MFI 5 cycles of IUI in 2010. IVF #1 in Nov. 2011. ER 11/22. ET 11/25. BFN.
I am 5dp5dt and starting to get annoyed! I slept an hour and 15 mins after turning off my morning edometrin alarm.. And now I don't have my usual morning "symptoms" so, I'm thinking safe to say those were progesterone related. I don't "feel" pregnant. When I'm having progesterone symptoms I live in a nice state of delusion though. Waiting for Beta on Tuesday. I think I'd deal with a bfn a lot better if my nurse delivers the news.
Also, does anyone know anything about what aspect the sperm plays genetically? As in, if DH has an issue with quality would that affect implantation or normal growth in anyway? I know we see a lot about egg quality affecting these things, curious if we know anything about the sperm's role. These are questions I'm asking my RE next time, but I can't find anything on it myself!
Qotd: Christmas!!! Although, it's different since leaving the north- I miss the snow. I just get filled with so much warmth and nostalgia throughout the entire winter season!
GL to everyone else with upcoming betas. Looks like there will be a ton rolling in soon!
I'm holding on to hope for those with less than ideal POAS results. I know it's hard to remain hopeful, but sometimes there are surprises. FX.
Best of luck with upcoming ERs and ETs. One step closer!
AFM - very anxiously waiting for my first u/s on Monday. I'm really nervous. Why can't these days go any faster ?!
Edited for QOTD - Christmas!

Hi Ladies!
@ky29 that's a great first beta! FX for everyone else who is waiting for beta results today.
GL to everyone stimming, waiting for ER or ET! HUGE (((HUGS))) to anyone that needs them today.
AFM, I just got back from my monitoring appointment (day 8 of stims) and I currently have 37 that are 11+. Lining was at 10mm. I'm waiting for a call from the nurse with my estradiol level and instructions for tonight. This morning she said that we will probably hold off on any meds for tonight and come back in tomorrow, trigger tomorrow night and have ER on Monday. It can't come soon enough as I'm really really uncomfortable. I've been chugging powerade and smartwater hoping to avoid OHSS.
QOTD: Christmas is my favorite holiday. Lots of time with family and friends plus good food, what could be better?
*****Siggy Warning*****
@ky29 that's a great first beta! Good Luck at the U/S.
Good Luck to everyone stimming, waiting for ER or ET! HUGE (((HUGS))) to anyone that needs them today.
AFM: Im 2dp2dt. have beta on 9/29. I getting my cheapies tomorrow in the mail. Testing everyday until the beta. I'm a POAS-holic. @emilee871 we are Beta buddies.
QOTD: I love Holloween, because I get to eat as much chocolate as I can.

My update: I am officially post transfer! We transferred two 5 day blasts yesterday. They were both hatching ("can't get any better than that" the doctors said), so I am optimistic. Test day isn't until 9/29, so it will be a long wait.

Beta is in ...... 102. I'm 8dp5dt. I go back Tuesday for us to check lining and blood flow to my uterus and more bloodwork.
QOTW: Can I vote none? My mom died right before Christmas and I've struggled every year to really celebrate. I like the 4th for the pool parties. I like Thanksgiving because of the food. I'm just not a big holiday person.

@gnl42 15dp3dt but still cruel
@Kam10 I'm surprised they're already talking about triggering with 11s.
