I worked from home today and plan to do so for the remainder of this week. It was nice to get off my back and walk around. Feeling bloated tonight and extremely moody (for some reason, my DH is annoying me to no end : ] ). We find out if any of our other embies can be frozen tomorrow. Found an awesome site describing pregnancy week by week:

Kldavis, Good luck tomorrow....I'm praying for your little miracle, as well as for all you ladies!

Kldavis: Good luck! I will be thinking about you today.

AUS2010: Let us know what they say about your other embies! Good luck.

Nothing exciting to report from my end. Just waiting and praying. I think the 2WW is the hardest part!

K~ Good Luck today Chickie. Cant wait to hear the good news!

Molly~ Isnt this part so boring... At least on stims we were being monitered and can see things happen.lol

I caved and POAS today. I know its way to early but I really wanted to test out the trigger. It was BFN. An hour later i looked at it and saw a slight shadow of an outline when tilted it upside down in the sun from the window LMAO. Im looney.

So now off to eat my avocado and pineapple for the day. Not together. This will be the 4th day in a row making my homemade guacamole and I am getting obsessed with it. I started craving it at 10 am this morning.

Hi girls... I have been reading your updates daily and am thinking of you all. I have acquired many new responsibilities at work and am having an issue with time management. I haven't had much time to respond but am praying for all of you in your various stages.

I had a sono yesterday to measure my lining. It has to be at least 8 to proceed with scheduling FET. My RE took 3 measurements and they averaged to 8.02. She was a little uncomfortable with the thickness and asked me to come back on Friday. She is altering my estrogen intake method (no longer just oral if you know what I mean :)). I have stocked up with avocados and am praying for improvement in the thickness.

Hang in there on the dreaded 2ww and sending an avalanche of baby dust.

Hi Girls!!
Today I'm really worry. I'm cramping and that I feel that it can't be good.
Is anybody feeling anything like that?What can I do? Should even be concern? I just afraid that I'll start my period before my first beta again...

Fingers~ I am thinking I responded on another post to you but might be I responded in my head LOL so just in case... Eat lots of avocados and have full fat everything. I bought FF ice cream yogurt and milk. I aslo am drinking red raspberry leaf tea. Not sure if thats for the lining but I no at this point until BFP it is good for the uterus.

Marcela~ Every cycle and every woman is different so dont worry your self. Lots of woman feel this befroe bfp. I would say for your piece of mind stay off your feet and relax today.

I am having slight twinges on and off during the day. Also a little lower back pain last night.

Hi Marcela: I wouldn't worry. I have heard the progest. can cause cramping. I have had a lot of cramping on my ride side ever since my transfer. Try not to worry about it. Just relax and try to take it easy. Did you call your doctor?

This 2WW is so difficult. I really do NOT feel any pregnancy symptoms which is making me VERY nervous. I have actually decided that I can't handle taking the call from my doct. with our results so I am having my husband take it! Crossing my fingers for everyone!

Good Luck Ladies.

Common side effects of Progestrone:

"Bloating; breast tenderness; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; fluid retention; headache; heartburn; irritability; muscle pain; nausea; stomach pain or cramping; tiredness; vomiting."

Very similar to pregnancy symptoms - ughhh! Also, Marcela: cramping is a VERY common side effect of Prog. No worries.

Well, some sad news ladies. I got a BFN yesterday. I think I really knew on Monday bc I POAS and got a bfn and figured that it was close enuf for beta day(wed) to get at least a faint line. DH and I are sooo very crushed. We did just about everything we could poss do this time.
I will continue to pray for all you ladies and cant wait to hear about everyone's BFP... stay strong... for the embies!!!
sending baby dust and sticky vibes to all.
I appreciate all your support and prayers. Thank you Marcela for starting this thread. You ladies are incredible and deserve so much happiness. I am staying on unitl everyone gets a BFP!!! Then I will go on a new thread and hopefully start a new cycle by April. We are considering going out of town for the next one to a different clinic/RE for a fresh start.

KLdavis: I'm so sorry about your BFN. I truly feel your loss and pain. I will pray for some peace to fill your heart Thank you so much for all your support and advise.

Molly and Angie: Thank you for your information. I'm still cramping and now I have a headache, 2 of my signals that I'm PMSing. All I can do is pray but I've been down this road

Kldavis - I am so sorry to hear about your BFN. I completely understand how crushing it can be. You deserve a few days to just lie around etc. However, stay positive and know that it WILL happen for you. Going to a new clinic is a great plan. All of the books I had read ( which I think it every book printed about ivf) has recommended trying a new clinic for a fresh start. Keep us posted with your plans for your April cycle. So random but I also heard that there is a slight increase in success when cycles are done in the spring/summer. Good Luck and keep your head high!

Hello

I am on my 1st IVF cycle and I begin to bleed today, my pregnancy test is on Monday. I think I will have to go for 2nd IVF. It would be great if I can have friends during this difficult time

kldavis- My heart breaks with you and for you! Thinking about you!

Angie- Thx for the food suggestions...and for an excuse to eat crappy :)

Hang in there girls... I just know our day is coming!

K- I'm so so sorry ((big hugs)) to you and DH. I know how hard this is and that words don't always help...

Mira- welcome. I'm so sorry you are bleeding. Is it heavy? Did you poas anyway. I have heard of this happening and bfp's but prog was low and I think they said that's why there was bleeding.

Fingerscrossed- ur welcome. My DH is loving having ice cream in the house. What ever it takes right!
