hey guys-
Rebecca- if i am prego, i will definitely stick around. i care about you guys and continue to want to know how things go.
plus you guys share my love of disney- i mean, disney and babies, you guys share my passions! lol
well the transfer went well today. we got home about 2pm. it was like an IUI. DH got to be in there, he had to wear scrubs. they ask your name and SSN to ensure they are putting in the right embryos so there is no mix up like on a soap opera LOL! it took like 5 minutes. they even warmed up the speculum for me! i had to lay there for an hour after util they released me. i am on 24 hours bedrest. laying on the couch typing this! we transferred 2 blastocysts, which are the best stage the embryo can be at before transfer. so it was ideal. 2 great quality blasts. they gave us a pic and you can see hte cells- a big circle in the middle is the actual baby now and the outside if the placenta. so cool. not many folks have a lot of embies make it to the blast stage (i think only 25% make it), so having 2 is great. he said the other 6 are doing well and i think at least 1 or 2 of those were already at blast stage too. they will let them keep growing until tomorrow and then decide if there are some worth freezing tomorrow. i hope so! thanks for all your support and prayers! my beta is March 1. i am on night 4 of the progesterone shots. they are a beating!
Steph- sounds very promising. and it is very true that the HSG procedure can 'open up your tubes' and increase fertility those few months after it. so it's very possible! the sore ****s are a good sign. i never get sore ****s ever, it isn't a period symptom for me. but this progesterone and other shots make mine hurt so bad. and mine have gotten huge too, so that DH has noticed. i am usually a small B, but i feel like a C now! lol so that is great. i am crossing fingers for you. definitely ask about the progesterone shots- they are a true pain- one and half inch needle that has to be intramuscular and goes all the way in. it isn't fun. there are suppositories and creams you can ask about too instead.
Elaine- so great to hear from you- thanks for your thoughts
Imarriedgrumpy- so sorry you are sick but glad DH took great care of you!
Carla, so great to see you post, it always brings a smile to my face to see your baby countdown in your sig!
Nicole- good luck! as for the telling people- i have told everyone and i mean just about everone from the start. but then again, i am a talker and not good at keeping secrets. i figured the more people i tell, the more support i would get when i need it most. i think you will find the same. heck, i had one sister bring food over thursday after the ER, my other sis brought food friday night, my parents bought food sat night- we didn't ahve to cook all weekend. my sister is bringing dinner and ice cream tonight. it is so great to have that support and be 'spoiled'. my boss knows every detail and is a great support- it was a must to tell her with all the work i have missed on appts and acupuncture etc. she is very understanding. plus, i handled all the work through 2 of her maternity leaves. i have told lots of our friends and acquaintances. i know most people tend to keep it 'secret'. even a guy i worked with who had triplets didn't tell anyone---his kids are 6 now, but when people asked if they did fertility treatments, he said no. i talked to his wife in private on a business trip and she did in fact admit to doing IVF. i guess some folks see it as shameful or something???i don't know. i don't. we need help, we got it. it's been hard and i pride myself on the strengh we have had to get through it. many people would have given up by now with all the shots, money, side effects and appts. it will be worth it and the support helps me get through it. i haven't told everyone at work, only my boss. but i will have to tell a few if i am, since i am working a tradeshow in vegas end of march and i won't be able to help put together the booth (a lot of lifting), and they will wonder why since i usually help. lol
anyways- enough rambling!! see, i told you i talk! back to bed rest. thanks again to all of you for your thoughts, it truly means a lot!!!
I've got the cold that the 17mo. old girl I take care of had all last week (and still has today, although she's got more energy than I do 
). Poor DH, he planned this romantic weekend while we're visiting his grandma, and all I wanted to do was drink tea and sleep. He was very sweet, though, and changed plans to accomodate me. Grandma isn't doing well at all, and it seems like each visit could be our last. 
I'm very nervous about my next pregnancy!
I'm bummed about that, but hopefully I'll get back to it tomorrow and I'll at least have enough temps to show O day!
Thinking lots and lots of good thoughts and sending tons of baby dust your way. I truly am hopeful that we have 3 BPF here!
