Monkey- Thanks for checking in! Nice to see you (even though I stalk you on the grads thread).

[hope4light]

lilac - Oh man, your post brought me the chills and goosebumps.  It is amazing the wonderful people that are still around.  I am so excited that they are helping to give you the chance to make a family sooner versus later!  I can't wait to stalk you through the process!!!!

rcr - glad you made it home safe and sound.  Keeping my fingers crossed!

deborah - keeping my fingers crossed for you too!  Glad you have 2 awesome frosties!

Thanks Hope! Oh. Here's our gorgeous embie. I have a lot of good signs (major nausea, including vomiting, high temps). Hoping they aren't just from the progesterone. I did have a lot of cramping during bedrest and am still feeling twinges, so that's exciting.

[Sourire]

Sounds exciting Deborah, I can't wait to hear the result.

I finally got confirmation of when I'll be doing my FET. At my next CD1 (which should be Dec 25) I will be starting BCP. I'll take the BCP for 3-4 weeks, then I start my FET cycle right away. So that puts my transfer in early February. I'm sure it will go by super fast!

[deborahbgkelly]

Sourire- Thanks. Just picked up some Zofran and tums. Hoping I can keep food down more easily now. We'll be sure to keep you busy.

[toothfairy2be]

Sourire- Thats wonderful! It will be here before you know it.

Deborah- All good signs, sorry you are feeling so nauseated though..

AFM- Had my suppression check today. Everything looks great, estrogen was under 20, no cysts or follicles, lining is thin. They want me to wait until Friday to start because they stagger their start dates to avoid too many people in for procedures each day. It is looking like I'll probably actually start Thursday night because I can't go in on Christmas day for monitoring. We are going to NY (which I told the nurse and she documented... a month ago...) so I have to talk to her again tomorrow but hopefully it won't be a problem to move it up a day. So for now I am just stuck on Lupron. My estimated retrieval is new years eve.

Exciting toothfairy2be - a bfp would be a great way to start your new year!

[deborahbgkelly]

Thanks Toothfairy2be- I took some tums equivalent and it really helped, so I think it was really severe acid reflux causing me to vomit. I had it pretty bad with the boys too. I did also pick up some Zofran and am going to take it before I take my other pills. I hope to avoid vomiting them up this time.

[lilacvioletiris]

Deborah, I hope the Zofran does the trick for you. Hopefully the vomiting stays at bay for you.

[deborahbgkelly]

No vomiting so far today, but definitely some nausea. I found out why though. My progesterone was 54.3 today. The nurse said my number is awesome and she's feeling positive vibes for me. I looked and my number with the boys at 7 weeks was less than double that. Granted, I was doing vaginal, not IM but it is still very promising.

[vireoes]

Lilac-what a wonderful story and exciting news for the holidays for you.

Sourire-I am glad to hear you will be starting the FET soon, how exciting.

Deborah-sounds promising. Isn't it  a drag that promising symptoms have to make you so miserable.  Fingers crossed you will have wonderful news to start the holiday.

Toothfairy2be-What a way to start the new year. Best of luck to you.

[deborahbgkelly]

Yes, it's a drag, but if it results in my take home baby, I'll gladly deal with it.

[deborahbgkelly]

I think I'm out and I'm really upset about it. I woke up around 2 to discover spotting after I had been cramping this evening. I had cramped early on with the boys so I didn't count myself out, but I didn't cramp and spot at the same time.  Not sure why I was so sick.

Deborah - sorry about the cramping/spotting. A lot of people have had that, and gotten a BFP. You never know, this time could just be different that with the boys.

[rcr]

Does anybody want to take over this thread? Please.

Also, could you all remind me of the changes to the front page that you wanted me to make but I didn't make while I was on vacation?

[deborahbgkelly]

RCR- That would be good. I cramped with them, but didn't spot. However, one of the members of the HH&C thread said she cramped terribly and spotted and got her BFP. First result is today. I'm not sure whether I'll be up for taking this thread over. It depends on what happens. I may disappear for a while if the result is not a happy one. I'm sorry i can't be more helpful, but if we were not successful, then I may be back in a few months for an FET.

[deborahbgkelly]

I'm also hearing that a lot of mamas of girls had spotting, so that's interesting. One of them never had it with their boys.

[krunchyk]

Hey Deb, Just delurking to say that I had both cramping and spotting with all three of my pregnancies. I hope it is simply your little babes digging in hard and your uterus helping them out a bit. Best of luck!!

[deborahbgkelly]

So, here's the scoop. My first test definitely came back positive, but my progesterone and estrogen levels dropped so I'm concerned about viability. Hoping that increased doses will help. Thanks for the support ladies. Monday is the test where we see if my betas double and whether we see better numbers on progesterone and estrogen.
