Any other DISers trying to concieve? Reread OP for the QOTD!

[TinkerChelle]

Just got word...transfer will be at 10:40 tomorrow morning. No report on the embryos. I got the "we don't want to disturb them" speech. DARN DARN DARN. I may go crazy!!

I am trying to calm my nerves now!

Yeah! Kristine! Good Luck!

 

[skuttle]

Great news Kristine!! Can't wait for the update tomorrow!

Tasha, I agree with Elaine...It's hard to know if your temp is up without knowing the base temp. My temp, before O, is usually around 97.1-97.4. After O, it jumps to around 98.0. It stays that way and then drops down a day or two before AF arrives, so it stays high for about 10 days for me.

Chelle...I try so hard to think of the positive and not worry about TTC, but it's SO hard! This cycle hasn't been too bad for me, I guess because I'm really just waiting to find out what the next step is going ot be after I get my test results back. I haven't really thought about actually TTC this month, I'm more worried about my test results and the next step!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Thanks, Allison! You and Elaine have pretty much given me the answer I needed/wanted so thanks! This waiting game is hard and I haven't even done it a full month yet. I can only imagine how hard this last year has been on you. I really hope your OB is able to figure out a plan of action for you and you will have that BFP soon!

My dd was invited to her first "real" (aka not a party for any of her relatives) b-day party this weekend. A little boy from her daycare is turning 3. Kylie wants to go but we also were planning to go to the water park. She wants to do both so I have no idea what we are going to do this weekend yet. I can't believe my 2 year old is already receiving b-day party invites! And from boys, no less!

 

[KristineN]

I am exhausted and I haven't even left yet! Did not sleep well, and Bill decided this would be the night to snore like a freight train!!

Got my loose pants on...got my warm socks ready...my bottle of water (all instructions from the IVF nurse)

Thanks again for the prayers...keep them coming

I will check in when I get back...not sure how long this all will take

THANK YOU THANK YOU

Good morning...
I sware, having a puppy is the worst thing imaginable!!
I'm under orders to take my temperature every morning, but I can't because my puppy winds up peeing on the floor, so today, like every morning, I spring up out of bed at 5:00am to let her out, forget to temp and by the time I get back to bed, it's too late to temp AND SHE STILL MANAGES TO PEE ON THE FLOOR!!!
ughh
Hope everyone's day is better than mine!!

 

[TinkerChelle]

Praying for you Kristine!!!!

Allison, Hope you get the results soon. Any idea when you should hear from your doctor?

disneylvr2005, LOL Sorry about your inability to take your temp! I know I can never remember to do it. I gave up on that long ago! At least your dog is still a puppy. I have a 4 year old dog who still pees on the floor at night. I am a heavy sleeper.

CD 31/16dpo. I usually get af on CD28/29. Another BFN this morning...but where is AF???Hmmmm??

 

[helenabear]

Chelle, have you tried a different brand of test? Fingers crossed

Kristine, I am thinking very good thoughts for you today!!!!!!

Allison, hang in there. I guess the only good about the tests is that it is taking your mind off of the actual TTC part. I do hope you hear something today though.

Tasha, you have me laughing... I guess your little girl is becoming a real social butterfly already

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Hey Ladies

Kristine: I hope everything went well today!!! Just sit back and relax

Chelle: I sending you Baby Dust!!! Maybe you should switch brands of HPT? NO AF!!!

Allison: I hope you get your results soon!!!

I know I've missed a bunch and I'm sorry. Our Coast trip was fun but I'm glad to be home in my own bed.

Still thinking of you all and sending positive thoughts your way!!!

 

[2bemarried]

Afternoon all....

Kristine I've been thinking about you all morning. I hope you're home resting now and the embies are snuggling in for the long haul

LOL Tasha....they start early now adays

Rebecca welcome back. So glad you had a great trip!

Allison try not to stress over the results. If anything they'll just put you on metformin and it will help even out your cycle. The good news too is that it helps with weight loss. I'm loving that part

Dznylvr I'm sorry, I don't have any advice on temping. I never tried it.

I had to reschedule my doctor's appointment. Unfortunately I have to be in a meeting Tuesday morning so the appt has been moved to the 27th at 1:45.

The good news in all of this: I can have my hair colored again I HATE my natural color and was not looking forward to the roots growing out.

 

[KristineN]

I'm back!!!!!!!

Things went pretty well....the procedure was only mildly uncomfortable due to the full bladder. The doctor said take it easy for the day...so I have finally made it to bed.

The nitty gritty:

they put in 2. They were good quality, one was a 97..one was a 95. They gave it a 50/50 chance. There may be 4 left to freeze. Not sure yet...they were of lesser quality. This may be the longest 11 days of my life!!

THANK YOU for all the good thoughts...keep them coming..I could use it!

Good to hear that it went so well! I am sending all my luck and whatever pixie dust I can find your way. Hopefully all your embries are now in for the long haul!

 

[helenabear]

Kristine, sending you TONS of sticky baby dust!!! Glad all went well for you!

Kristy, I am sorry you had to reschedule your appt. I'm laughing at the hair coloring though. I think my friend was able to do hers during her 2nd trimester. My cousin, though has super short hair and just grew it all out and colored after the fact. She was a bit more paranoid though being type 1 diabetic during pregnancy.

Sending you tons of prayers and pixie dust. I'm sure those embies are snuggling up.

I'm telling ya....make sure you have plenty of movies and books to keep you company.

Elaine I can manage without a hair color but I really didn't want to. When I do get pregnant I'll wait until at least the 2nd trimester.

 

[skuttle]

Yay Kristine!! Make sure you rest and take it easy!

Kristy, So sorry you had to reschedule your appt. Bummer.

I'm really not worried about the test results. I haven't heard anything yet. If I don't hear anything tomorrow, I'll call on Monday. I assume my results might not have gone anywhere until Monday since I had the test on Saturday. They said 2-4 days so I'll wait until Monday.

My pregnant friend emailed everyone about her 11 week appt today. I started crying. This is SO hard.

Kristy, what is your natural color? I only think I know you as what I've seen in your sig.

 

[exwdwcm]

Kristine- wishing you tons of sticky dust for those 2 embies. was it a 3 or 5 day transfer? I hadn't heard of that grading you listed. did they tell you how many cells (if 3 day?) or blasts (5 day)? good luck, rest up and take it easy!

Kristy- i am glad you are going to try again and lol at the hair color- what color are you going? i also like the color in your sig. glad you and DH had a talk, it always helps when you need to vent and Lord knows we all need to vent when TTC or doing IVF.

TinkerChelle- where the heck is AF? sorry about the BFN. i totally understand how TTC takes over your life. it is so hard NOT to think about it, even when you try. but you are right, you have so many other great things in your life to focus on in the meantime. let us know if AF shows- i am still crossing fingers for you just in case!

 

[KristineN]

5 day transfer...I didn't get a cell count. I heard AA something...but then he launched into a 95 & 97 % quality

Kristine, I hope you are feeling well today.

Kristy...I've always wanted to color my hair. But I'm afraid I'll become addicted and it's so expensive! I tried to do some box coloring in the dorm in college, but my hair is dark brown so it didn't work very well. Sounds like fun, though!

Michelle...Slow down! I can't believe you're almost at 30 weeks! I had to do a double take when I saw the position of that baby on your ticker! Wow!

 

[KristineN]

I bet you guys will be sick of me....but, 10 days til I can test!!!! I hope I don't go crazy(er) I think God may be sick of me too...not sure how many times a person can pray

I feel OK...some cramping..no clue if it's good or bad...

Hope all of you are doing well.
