    I have a weird middle back back ache. I also have weird pains down there. Either a) my body is getting ready for AF or b) it is the progesterone doing it's job or c) I am pregooooooo! I would die if it was "c"

I asked if there was any point in transferring the grade C one, and RE said that you never know which will work and which won't, and that they seem to like company, so having them all together is better. He also said that he's seen ladies with perfect A ones transferred and getting nothing, and others with really bad looking C ones transferred and then having perfectly healthy, normal babies. So you never know..it's not in our hands anymore, and a grade C doesn't mean birth defects or chromosomal disorders.. So I have to sit tight and wait 2 weeks and see what happens.

    Also, I misunderstood my stats. It's basically 5-15% per embabie, not in total.. That's still not that great, but it's at least closer to normal (well, the 15% part). We will see...
    Yaaay! Congrats on a great transfer stick babies stick!

    For as long as I've been coming on apa (almost 4 yrs) I've heard of this happening a lot. Most of the time everything turned out A OK! Bless your heart, I know you must be scared to death. Hang in there & pray for better numbers on Friday.

    I don't know much about it as I have never been pg... but at least it is rising even if it's not as much as they want! I say try to stay positive even though you are scared, rest as much as you can, and we will all keep you in our thoughts and prayers. for nice high numbers on Friday!!!

    This 2ww is killing me!!! I don't remember any of these ridiculous symptoms from my last IUI. Maybe its b/c of the different meds I have been on, I have no idea. I've been nauseous, dizzy, sensitive to smells, light cramping, and today I started spotting for no apparent reason. I think my co-workers and DH think I'm totally !!! Actually, I think I am too!

    How are the other 2ww'ers doing?

    Well, it is still going up, almost doubling, and it could be a couple of things, one is you might have been a bit more dehydrated, the second one is that there could have been more than one in there and one of them did not make it, and third, it could have just been a hitch, and all will be well with the next one. I am praying for good news with the next one honey, i know how very hard this is.

    In general, the HCG level will double every 2-3 days in early pregnancy. So although I know how difficult it is, try not to worry just yet. Your test Friday should give you more insight. Good luck!

    How are the other 2ww'ers doing?
    I am exhausted with sore boobs, and now cramping has started! I am not happy about that one at all. UGH. Today is day 10piui. I don't want to be cramping unless it is a good sign.

    I think the sore boobs are due to my progesterone suppliment. I normally get them. I am in a state of shock.. like could things not have worked AGAIN? Everything looked so good. I need a little luck.

    Thanks. It is hard to believe we have been trying for 2.5 years. (3) IUIs, (1) IVF (4) rounds of clomid and (3) inectable medicine rounds. I have been in every room in APA for TTC. Most expensive 2.5 years of our lives. I will get right back on the horse. But I would love a little luck. We just want to share our love with a child and start a family.

    I used to want a big family. Now I am praying for one healthy baby. After that, we will glady take what God gives us. if he wants me to have 4, so be it! thanks. Sorry for my rant. Long couple of days. The 2WW is driving me

    It's great you get to take your beta so much earlier. A nice perk of the IVIG!

    Say, if you are interested, I have 2 bottles of male fertilaid I'd be happy to send you free of charge. They are new and unopened. I ordered 1 bottle of the male formula and was sent 3 by mistake. My husband can't take them because with what he's got going on, the ginseng in the fertilaid will actually cause him problems, rather than help out. So he is on another supplement. If not, no worries. I'm willing to send them to anyone here who needs them. So if anyone is interested, just chime in!
    Yep...March is around the corner. I sure hope we can swing the financial part by then, but if not we will only delay up to 2 months. Yes, the dieting & workout isn't so easy this time around...just 7-8 pounds to go! My DH has 2 bottles of the Fertilaid, but thanks. I'm sure someone else could use it and your offer is too generous!

    Hoping you will wait until the 31st on the HPT. I don't want you all upset because you KNOW the POAS is not always acurate, but if you must, wait until your chances are best that it show you a +. I'll be anxiously waiting to see the results.

    I'm sure moving the date up is a result of your b/w (E2 level) and has NOTHING to do with quality hun! We're so excited for you triggering tonight & ER around the corner. Just means you're ripe & it's time! Woo hoo. Good luck with your trigger tonight!

    Update on Donna (41TTC) for you old-timers like me:

    Donna reports she has been having dreams of babies for about a week or so and she is just so optimistic. She is on a microdose flare protocol and is taking lupron for 3 days (started yesterday), and as of today she stars stimming for approx 11 days at 450 units. The last 4 days of stimming she starts Cetrotide, which is suppose to prevent premature ovulation. Then tentatively day 12 she will triger & ER should be around 2/3.
