Friday. I’m just so ready to know if we have some that are normal….

congratulations @morningstar80 and @laur2444!! Sooo exciting, so happy for you both! How long after your transfers did you have your beta? I'm so impatient for my beta!
@twomommiestobe also so exciting, that is great you have 2 to freeze! Hope you are getting to rest and enjoying this day! When will you have your beta?
Thank you @meld17011!!! We are trying not to be too excited yet, since a ton can happen, but I've never gotten a positive before so it's hard not to be! @minnie1155 thank you!!! My transfer of a 5 day blast was last Monday, so today is 9 days out I guess? Or is it 10? Lol somewhere around there! When is yours?
@laur2444 mine is 2/20, it will be 12 days after transfer. I'm going to be tempted to test early but I don't think I will do it. I would not want to get false results either way.
@Morningstar80 and @laur2444 YAY!!! So happy for you both ❤❤ @twomommiestobe rest well and stay busy...hoping the next two weeks speed by for you. Lots of great things happening here, I'm praying we'll all have success together!
Afm...looks like I will be triggering on Saturday with retrieval on Monday! (to confirm at next u/s on Friday) I have 11 follicles 11-16mm and a bunch of smaller ones that may still jump up. My RE does day 3 transfers, so that would be the 18th, the day before our 11th wedding anniversary ❤
Still having med issues (ridiculous!) have already 'borrowed' 9 vials of Menopur, will probably need more AND will run out of and need to 'borrow' more Cetrotide. With the stories I have heard of people having a ton of leftover meds, I can't even believe how screwed up this is. But, thank God they have things on hand and have been good about getting me what I need.

@minnie1155 I held out on testing, and while it probably would have helped my sanity all morning, I'm really happy I didn't. Getting that phone call made the past year's struggle vanish for a minute. @momof2furkids fx that your anniversary will bring you nothing but positive vibes!!! Those sound like great numbers so far!! Sorry your meds have been such a disaster....at least you have a clinic that is helping you out!
Congrats to the new bfps!!! I'm so excited for you!!
Looks like I'll be leaving this group. : ( I've had a cyst hanging around near my right ovary since I started this journey. The re determined that it wasn't connected to anything or in the way so we proceeded with IUIs. Now that I've completed my bcps for the first IVF cycle they've noted that it's gotten bigger (80mm, compare that to a newborn's 100mm head) and it looks like it has something inside it now. May be blood or an infection. Either way, she took it for a consult with other docs and nobody liked the look of it and don't want to proceed with ER or any of the stims, so they've cancelled the cycle. I'm being referred to an oncologist for an MRI and next steps. Doc isn't worried about it being ovarian cancer but the oncologist deals with scar tissue which I have from previous surgeries. I'm so bummed!!! I was hoping my family in TX would have a little bundle of reason to visit us in MA for Christmas this year. I'm also bummed that I won't be having a baby until 2017!! I'll be 36 at least. Ugh!!! I'm so sad. My husband and I are looking into adoption but I know that'll take a couple years too. Hopefully by the time we adopt a little one we'll have one on the way too. I know it'll all work out the way it's supposed to but it's just so frustrating during the process!! So congrats again to the new mommies-to-be and fx for the rest of you!!! Maybe I'll see you on another board someday.
@kyrgyzstan Prayers for you as you figure out what is going on, that everything is able to be resolved easily and that your health isn't compromised. I know it is frustrating, but more important for you to be healthy before you embark on this journey. Hang in there!

Hey ladies just dropping by. Congrats on all the BFPs. I see so many are moving along nicely. I had my transfer today. All done and a little crampy! We transferred 2. We didn't get a grade though. Of the 11 fertilized only 5 made it so 3 left to freeze! We're so grateful. The full bladder was the worse lol. I ended up using the bedpan during my 20 min lying session and got some on the floor lol. Very embarrassing. Then my hubby freaked because he was scared that I pushed the embabies out lol. OMG this wait is going to be torture! We're almost there. Come on the 2/22 which is my beta! I will be testing though. good luck ladies. I can't wait to keep reading all the good progress!

@momof2furkids so exciting!! I bet you trigger tonight! Keep us posted! @sassysd7 congrats!!!! Try to hold on testing at home if you can....I think it makes things more stressful!!! Fx fx fx!!!
I unfortunately got a negative. This one hit pretty hard; wasn't in the best shape over it all. Starting a FET this cycle- using "embryo glue" this time. Hopefully that helps. If it doesn't work, I will do another round of IVF and have an endometrial biopsy during my BC time frame. We shall see what happens.
So happy for those who got positives!!! Congratulations!! Gives me hope that it will happen soon

Embryo glue sounds interesting....what is it?? @meld17011 fantastic news!!!!! I'm sure you are so relieved!!! Transfer will be here before you know it! @twomommiestobe hang in there! I went through the same emotions....quite frankly I'm still pessimistic that it worked! Lol I think all of us girls will be like this until 9 months is over!!
just got beta #2 back....more than doubled and is 498! I don't go back until next Friday now....ughhh another torturous wait!!
@laur2444 That's great! Hard to trust the process when your body has been so unfaithful, but all good news to hang on to.

@meld17011 that is great news! glad you finally got the results!
@twomommiestobe mine will be 2/20, I feel you with the counting down and different feelings. Today I feel totally normal like back to myself before this whole process so trying not to read into that at all. I started estradiol patches today too so no side effects from those so far.
I am keeping myself super busy during the rest of my tww, I realized today almost too busy! Hopefully it helps. Hope you all have a good weekend!
Hey everyone. For those who hAve done a retrieval, did you bleed much afterwards? My retrieval was Sunday. Bleeding is a little heavier and in not sure if it's the retrieval causing it. They called me today. 4 or the 7 embryos are doing good. The other three need more time to grow. Then we will freeze and do PGS testing. Hoping we have some to freeze.
@minnie1155 I felt normal the whole 2ww (actually went down to my pre IVF weight!) with no real side effects at all....in fact I still feel the same just random tightness in the uterus every now and again. Don't read into it at all! I was insistent it didn't work because I felt NOTHING!! @momof2furkids good luck!!!! Valentine's Day baby!! Whooooo hoo!!! @joyzie77 I did not bleed at all after retrevial or transfer. Also didn't get implantation bleeding. Maybe I don't have much blood lol
@Joyzie77 I bled for the first two days but not after that . I didn't bleed that much .... Didn't fill a pad . Sorry tmi . If you are worried I would just call the nurse . I always call mine . They are prob annoyed with me by now I ask a lot of questions for peace of mind .

@laur2444 Thank you! I will try to hold off but I don’t know
if I can make it lol. I have been testing out my trigger. It will be a
struggle.
@Colleen0516 I am so sorry. Sending big hugs. I hope the
glue helps and your FET is successful!
@momof2furkids Thank you. I am so excited! I am trying to
stay as busy as possible lol. So exciting to be triggering! Valentine’s will
end up in baby making lol!
Thanks everyone. Trying to stay as positive as I can!! "Embryo glue" sounds more crazy than it is! It's a protein that the embryos are places in before being transferred. The protein helps the embryo stick to the lining. Nothing too crazy! But some people have had success with it, so we shall see!

Ok ladies I just got a great tip from a super nice gal on another thread. For those of you that are OOP for everything or just meds once you get your ET your medication can be covered by your insurance. Most RE's prescribe estragen and progesterone for anywhere from 6 weeks to 12 weeks. Now that I'm pregnant and the medications are to sustain the pregnancy vs. IVF treatment my HMO covers the script. Saving me $1,000 a month! Just wanted to share.

@colleen0516 so sorry this cycle didn't work out. That sounds good to have a plan and to try something different.
@laur2444 congrats on the good numbers!
@meld17011 that is great news! glad you finally got the results!
@twomommiestobe mine will be 2/20, I feel you with the counting down and different feelings. Today I feel totally normal like back to myself before this whole process so trying not to read into that at all. I started estradiol patches today too so no side effects from those so far.
I am keeping myself super busy during the rest of my tww, I realized today almost too busy! Hopefully it helps. Hope you all have a good weekend!
@momof2furkids good luck!!!! Valentine's Day baby!! Whooooo hoo!!!
@joyzie77 I did not bleed at all after retrevial or transfer. Also didn't get implantation bleeding. Maybe I don't have much blood lol
@Joyzie77 I bled for the first two days but not after that . I didn't bleed that much .... Didn't fill a pad . Sorry tmi . If you are worried I would just call the nurse . I always call mine . They are prob annoyed with me by now I ask a lot of questions for peace of mind .
**BFP and loss warning**
@laur2444 that's a great number! Congrats!
@minnie155 I can relate! I've been trying to stay busy but not over do it. My RE schedules the first beta 10 days after transfer but it falls on a weekend and the office is closed. I'm thinking I'll test the day before.
@laur2444 Thank you! I will try to hold off but I don’t know if I can make it lol. I have been testing out my trigger. It will be a struggle.
@Colleen0516 I am so sorry. Sending big hugs. I hope the glue helps and your FET is successful!
@momof2furkids Thank you. I am so excited! I am trying to stay as busy as possible lol. So exciting to be triggering! Valentine’s will end up in baby making lol!
@Joyzie77 I did not bleed at all either.
