You are such a breath of fresh air and I love coming on in the morning to read your posts.

I admire your energy.

Keep it up girl!!! You are a few shorts weeks away from fulfilling your dream and your BFP!!!!

Awwww Thanks. I'm glad I can cheer you up. I had a bad few days but I'm over it and feeling great. Cramping is there only in the middle of the night but I just sleep thru it anyways. I am sooooo jittery waiting for the Dr's call. Mostly because I know it's going to be a 5 day transfer and God is going to take care of everything and even if it is a 3 day transfer, I'll be excited to get my embies back in me. DH is home waiting for me to tell him what's going on, he doesn't want to drive to work only to turn around and go back home and meet me to drive to the clinic. he he he.

So how are you doing? Stimming time will be here before you know it and we'll be rooting for you girl!!!! I'll do my dance for you when you start stimming.

I am doing good, thanks! . Tomorrow is my last day of BCP alone before I start Lupron. I am in a totally different mind set this cycle. I am not stressing and not analyzing everything. Just going with the flow and thoroughly enjoying incorporating acupuncture this time.

I went and saw my friend last night at the hospital and met her precious new baby girl. She is perfect. I held her forever.

I was talking to my friend and although she conceived naturally she is still just as amazed of the miracle of life. What is so wonderful about her too is she is so in to my IVF process and talking about it with me. She's not one of those one's that you tell them about IVF and they look at you as you are talking a different language, ha!

Holding that precious angel; so innocent; so fresh; I knew my time will come. I kept saying to her give me some of that babydust, lol! Got to have humor during this all.

Awwwww, I love babies. That is amazing that she is completely supportive. Alot of my friends don't even know what IVF is and it's like even when I wasn't trying to have a baby, I always knew what it was. How are people so lost these days? lol. I literally have to explain the whole process to my friends multiple times. It gets annoying.

[pinkgirl]

Guess what???? It's a 5 day transfer!!! Woohoo!!!!

So the Dr. called and said Saturday my transfer is at 9am but I will get there early for acupuncture pre and post.

Now the grades of my embabies:

7 embies at 8-cell
1 embie at 7-cell
4 embies at 6-cell

Is that good? I think I heard 8 cell is great but I really haven't paid much attention. lol.

So 8 cell is great right? Are the 6 and 7 cell good too? How about the grading? I'm assuming they tell me that the day of transfer.

Oh he said I had a some embryos growing slower but still growing. So I'm assuming 15 fertilized, that all of them are growing and maybe 1-2 arrested. The Dr. didn't mention anything at all about any arresting but that's just what I'm assuming.

8 is perfect and 6-7 cell is great too because they are growing. If it was 3-4 cell would not be good. All should be 5+ cell at this point. You have nothing to worry about dear! The others must have arrested, but that is normal to not have all make it. Your numbers are phenomenal! To have 12 out of 15 at day 3 is awesome! Great fert report.

Traci's beta is tomorrow...

Yay for Traci's beta!!!! I can't wait for it.

Thank you so much for your expertise Rhonda I am sooooo flippin excited right now. I was excited before the call only because I knew in my heart God would make sure everything was perfect and it would be a 5-day. I even came to work because I knew it. DH was texting me beforehand and I was telling him how positive I was it was a 5-day transfer and our embabies were doing great and he just said "whatever happens happens", MEN! lol. I'll have to keep the faith in God for the both of us. I am going to stay positive and keep praying that God takes care of us and blesses us soon...

Okay, now i'm even more hyper. Someone's going to have to shut me up here. You guys can slap me if you'd like. lol.

Well, I'm heading back to work today...I'm a little worried about how to answer people who ask where I've been!?! I'm ready to go back and think about something else, though.

I'm trying to stay positive, but sometimes it's hard! I really, really, REALLY wanted to have a 5 day transfer...but I didn't. I just keep reading how 5 days are better and the best are chosen. Now I'm doubting everything. I'm also ticked off. If my floating left ovary would have cooperated, I would have had more eggs and a better chance of that 5dt. Ugh.

Sorry to be a downer today....

Noooooooo You are not a downer first of all.

Second of all, tell your co-workers your hubby took you on a little getaway! They don't need to know a thing. Tell them you went to a bed and breakfast or something. lol.

Lastly, OMG, A 3 day transfer is still perfect. SOOOOOO many women get pregnant with 3-day transfers. Just think, before they founded this blastocyst stage in IVF, for years and years and years women were only doing 3-day transfers and getting pregnant. DO not lose faith and hope. You will get pregnant and we are all here rooting for you!!!! Stay positive and do not stress out at all. You are always here for us and we will be here for you during your 2WW. That progesterone is just bringing your mood down, don't let it do that to you.

Don't worry. All will work out great! My RE actually said day 3 is his favorite day if all are cooperating. That is what he told me today. He said day 2 to 5 is normal, but he prefers day 3. He is the head of Repro Endocrinology at a Large Teaching Hospital in Philadelphia. So, don't worry, they will put them in when it is best. I have a good feeling.

Awww honey, anytime. Just stay positive and think about your little babies growing inside of you.

Anytime. I wish we all lived close, we could meet for some decaf and discuss this crazy journey called IVF.

I am a little scared of the retrieval and transfer. But i have faith, God will bless us.

What type of pain/discomfert did you experience? And any tips?
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. I am very excited too. Will know tonight what day is retrieval day this weekend.

[mominw8ting]

OH, WAIT. I forgot to tell you guys. For the first time in 11 months working with an RE, My left side is my dominant side. AND my left is my good side. (since my right has a blocked fallopian tube). I said, can we just go forward with an IUI instead, and you can give me a $13,400 refund??

But you know if we were just doing an IUI my right would probably be my dominant once again.

Go figure.

You know, I'm bad. I keep forgetting about it. I need to look at it more often. Thanks for always keeping it updated. I just posted in there to let you know my ET and Beta dates.

[gerbeme]

Ugh I could cry right now. Ladies do you know if you have to have a prescription to endometrium? I got a couple of boxes from my doc bc I am going out of town this weekend and I will be dagumed that I left the stinkin thing at my house after I used it this morning!!!!! I called and left a message for my doc office but they are at lunch I just hope I can get a hold of the nurse in an hour and a half!

Aw Amy, don't be sad you didn't have a 5DT. A lot of people have success on 3DT, so don't get discouraged! Don't doubt anything. you uterus is the best place for the embies to be .

Oh no! Yes, I know I needed a script for endometrium. I would call the Dr's office back and let them know you need a prescription called in the your local pharmacy so you can get it.

Don't worry, you'll be able to get some .

What is the endometrium for?
