Kim, glad you made it over. Welcome. Glad we have a new thread too. You're right, the other was getting long. We have a lot of good stuff to say, though! Well ladies, I am experiencing a lot more twinges now. It is making me a little nervous. I didn't have twinges like this last time, so I hope all is well. I have been searching the net trying to find any info on assisted hatching and whether that makes implantation happen a little earlier than normal, but can find nothing yet. Ugg. There is always too much info on the net when you don't need it (or shouldn't read it) and never enough when you want it! I know implantation takes place starting on day 6 and I am on day 6, so I hope that is what is going on. Oh, please, oh please. Maybe my little embies are duking it out in there or playing tackle football or something? What do you think? Plus, I am still craving chocolate...I must have it. I need it... I like chocolate but haven't really had much lately, well since the mc actually. What's up with that? Okay, I guess I'll get back to work grading my papers. Hope you all are doing well. Stacie

Found this on the web. Does this sound right? It would be nice if it is true..."I was told that implantation happens between 5 - 8 days after ovulation. If you do assisted hatching, it can happen 1 day earlier (4 - 8 days). So, if you transfer a day-3 it will float around and grow for 2 - 5 days before implanting, and a day-5 would float around from 1 - 3 days before implanting. Then the embryos start secreting HCG into your blood and you can detect it with a test in another 5 - 7 days at 11 to 14 dpo"

Hi baby!
Nice to be on this thread, thank you~
Wishing you good vibes with your cycle. How many embryos did you have transferred? When do you go in for your beta test? I too have been having some twinges. Noticed it especially on day 6! Hoping it was one, or maybe the 2 embryos implanting??? It's so hard not to read into every little twinge, and cramp. I hope your 2 weeks go by quickly for you. Stay busy, and make plans to keep yourself occupied, that always helps me.
Keep us posted, hope your feeling well. Are you taking prog. injections?? All the best to you.......
Kim :-)))))

 

baby1234 - February 22

Kim. I transfered 4 embies this time. I am also doing the wonderful pio shots daily (1 1/2 cc). I am not sure when my beta will be. This whole process ended up being so whirlwind that I didn't get that info if you can believe it. I also have to schedule a prog test sometime half way through as well. I suppose I'll call tomorrow and check on all of that. I hope they'll let me come in on Sunday for the bw so I don't have to miss more time at work. I am feeling guilty about abandoning my kids lately. Apparently they've been asking about me and have been concerned that I am at death's door. They are so dramatic in junior high. Well, I am thinking of you all. Take care. Stacie

 

DCL - February 22

Hi Ladies - Just checkin in as I have been out of the loop for a few days... i have been trying to keep busy after work. I don't know what is going on with me. I was feeling a little crampy the last few days and think it's the HCG or progesterone. Last night I started feeling really tired and tonight as well... can you gals help me understand a few things as I am still trying to understand IVF - I did HCG shot on 2/13 at midnight, ER on 2/15 and ET on 2/17 with 2 embies one was a 4cell and other was 5cell with nothing left to freeze. What was my Ovulation day and if I wanted to do an HPT test would 2/24 be the earliest I should try? I have one left from a few months and I am dying to test early. My beta is Thur 3/1. I want to be home when I get the call but can't take the day off. Next question I forgot to take my estrace this morning - just noticed it when I was taking my evening pill - I hope that is ok - what the estrace for I forget?? Last question, how is everyone doing with the PIOs? I was doing ok until last night where my left cheek was painful today. My right side seems a little better. We also found out that DH has to go to NH for training MOnday night. We have been doing the PIO shots around 7;30ish but he has to leave around 5pm since he has to drive 2.5 hours to New Hampshire. I called my nurse and she that was ok for this one time. What time are you gals doing the shot?? Sorry for all the questions but I am sooo new to IVF, I am learning as we go!

 

DCL - February 22

Sorry I missed all these new developments. Robyn I am so proud of you. What you went thru is tough and glad you are able to try soon. I think Disney will help. Enjoy... Tink, I am so sorry that you don't have any to freeze but I have a good feeling that you will have a BFP. GOGO - WOW I hope it stays positive. I can't remember what your embies' quality were. Mine were a 4 cell and 5 cell and not getting good vibes about a BFP this month. I am trying to stay positive but not expecting much. Good news for JB and Baby!! I think you gals will also have BFPs too!!! Sorry if I have missed anyone - we have a good group here. Welcome Blakely!

 

DCL - February 22

Ladies - forgot to ask one other question. Has anyone experienced any clear mucus - I noticed that when I was wiping yesterday afternoon as well as today not a lot but something. I started noticing right before my AF either after IUI or trying on our own - about 4-5 days before my AF would arrive I would get this mucus. Well I am awhile from AF but not sure what this is or if I should report it into my nurse. THis maybe absolutely nothing but it would be nice to know if anyone had this as well!

 

GoGo Trigger - February 22

Hi guys! DCL, your ovulation date is the date of your ER. So my ER was on 2/10, I tested today on 2/21, so that was 11 days post ovulation. My embies were 8 cell and 2 7-cells, all of the highest quality. And yes I've been swimming in clear mucus I would say since Sunday and it's different from the progesterone gel. It's kind of like a "wet" feeling. Guys, I know what you mean about the beta, since my RE likes to keep the beta on day 14, I feel like the pressure's on!! I'm so worried that I will go in there and the numbers will be low, or that the numbers won't double after that. I'm so worried about making myself unpregnant somehow! I figure though if it takes about 2 days for HCG to double then if I'm at 25 HCG this morning I should be 50 by Friday morning and maybe 75 by Saturday morning. Hopefully!! When I was teaching my two-hour seminar tonight I felt this pulling going on on my right side, and I sat down for a few minutes during break and felt so much better. Also my lower back hurt like crazy after I finished, it was just a rock and took forever to get comfortable after I was home. I was even worried because I felt pretty clear-headed today and didn't have so much acid reflux as before, rofl. I want those symptoms!! Welcome, Kim! Oh, and BTW about implantation--I felt a distinctly different twinge right in the middle of the abdomen, clearly in the uterus, about 2 p.m. on Saturday, which was 7 days post ovulation. I felt twinges on the left and right before and after that, but haven't for the past day or so. Also twinges in the boobs, which are still big but aren't particularly sore.

 

GoGo Trigger - February 22

BTW I think I have a massive cyst on my left side, my dominant ovary. I think I'm going to call my RE about it tomorrow...or maybe I'll just let it go, rofl. Not like they'll do anything about it now, and it's just large. There's a hard area about the size of my fist on my left side.
