19DPO, 14DP5DT *1st Beta *

So today was my first beta..YEAH!!! I was so excited. I waited on pins and needles waiting for the result mentally envisioning a big number. I finally got tired of waiting and called the Dr.office for my results. The fist nurse i guess looked it up and saw the numbers then she was like.. um did Nurse T. call you? I said no..no one called me. She said OK hod on.. then i was nervous.. I started praying i was worried that they needed a particular nurse to tell me the bad news.. I was like Oh Lawd please !!! The Nurse T. got on the line all happy and giddy like.. OK .. this might be a good sign. She said well you are positive and the Dr.wants yo to come in later this week for a ultrasound. Now when i did my blood draw the doc told me if my number was over 1500 then we may have more then one and he would do a ultrasound this week. if less the 1500 then we will keep doing blood draw til HCG was over 1500 then we will do ultrasound. So when i heard her say that I would do a ultrasound this week I knew I had a high number, at least 1500. I asked her if she had the number she said yes it's 2062!!!!! OMG did you say 2062!!! Now its time to play that game "how many babies" no more "Babies maybe"!!!!

**Spoiler Alert

Yes we have a spoiler alert!!!
I have a bit of a rant that I must get off my chest for my piece of mind. My mother in law has been quite the bad apple of this bunch. After we first took the 1st pregnancy test on last Monday, me and my husband were so excited we both texted out parents.he texted his mom around 7 a picture of the test and a message for her to call him when she got it. When she received it she called him back with a lecture on how inappropriate he was to tell her such news via text and how the proper thing to do was to come and actually visit her and tell her. After she ranted and raved she finally in a off hand fashion told him congratulations. I wish this was the last of the atrocious behavior but that was just the tip of the iceberg.
A day or two later my hubby decided to post on his face book the pic of the first test. 98% of my husband face book is his family and only 3-4 close friends. His family is so close he immediately got responds and congrats from a bout all of them. The next day or the next morning she woke my baby out of his sleep to holler at him again to lecture and rant and rave saying how "Tacky" he was to post that on face book and how we burst her bubble and took away her "right" to announce the first pregnancy to the family. Then she grilled him on the when s and whys and hows of the pregnancy ( she doesn't know about infertility issues or IVF)
Then the shit gets deep..I get a text from her telling me how we need to talk..I said cool because I had some choice words i wanted to say ..Once I had her on the line later that evening I had no time to say those choice words because she came at me with that same spill about how me and the hubby are out to get her and take away her right blah blah blah.. I have no idea where she gets this mess from on how she has any rights in out situation.If she had started out on the good foot and communicated initially with my hubby then we could have talked about all of this together, but instead she has been a poison to the entire experience. But I will not allow her to destroy my joy. I will pray for her to get her stuff together and straighten out because we both want her in the child(children) lives and to be apart of our family. All I can do is pray for her .Pray for Peace. I refuse to allow this to stress me and bring me low. I will soak up all the joy and love that we receive from everyone else and put her on the back burner for now. Amen

9DP5DT or 4 Weeks Pregnant

Feels so weird to write that. I'm pregnant..I'M PREGNANT!!
I just want to scream it from the roof tops, but have vowed to keep a lid on things until my beta. Why am i the only person to have their beta two weeks from transfer? Everyone seems to at least get tested by the day of expected cycle. For me that would have been yesterday. But I have to sit on it for 4 more days. It will be hard but we can do it. At least I know i can.My husband is so happy and proud he can't keep it to himself. Before, while we were TTC he swore he would never post his business on Face book about our pregnancy, whenever it would happen. Now i think I may have to suspend his FB privileges until Monday. Already he inadvertently left comment on his status that lead to multiple family members to basically guess whats up. He finally deleted the status when MY SISTER commented on it. I only have told my mom and now he let the cat out of the bag to my family for me. Shesh ..Men!! LOL

So far I'm feeling fine.. symptoms? Bloated, tender boobs, larger boobs, cramps, occasional heavy or pulling or pinching sensations in the uterus/Vaginal area, heavy heartbeats, sometimes hard to find breathe, easily winded/out of breathe, fatigue, frequent urination.

7DP5DT...Oh Taste and See That the Lord is Good !!


I have always wonder if i will ever be so blessed as to see this sight!!!



But this morning @ 4:00am .. i lay in bed debating if I should go through with it this morning and POAS. I spent the better part of my evening searching google for people who tested on 7DP5DT and received a BFN and later received a BFP. Thinking that if i tested and it was a negative then I will still be in the running..
...After much debate I finally got up and did the test .. FMU
......After not much of a wait with the First Responds test I received a positive line almost immediately. At first i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.. *wipe sleep crust off eyes8 Look again and the line is there.. even darker..
I go and wake hubby.. and tell him I took the test .. I told him to look,, he staggers over to the bathroom says " I don't' see anything" * rubs sleep crust form eyes* wait.. i see a faint line here. I tell him that means we are preggers!!! He is so happy.. but he wants a more definite answer ..and since we can go back to sleep now, he leave to hit up wal-mart for a digital test. he comes back and i do that one too..Also ..plain as day ..WE ARE Pregnant!!! My God My God MY GOD!! Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!

Tale of the Human Pin Cushion

My bum is so sore.. I don't know how long I will have to continue taking the PIO shots. God knows I'm more than willing to continue for the next 9 months, but Its starting to get a bit tender back here. Some people use ice or heating pads but I don't have a issue with doing the shot itself, its the soreness afterward that is getting to be a bit of a trial since my job is majority sitting on the abused area. I will defiantly have to invest in a nice pillow for my seat to make said area more comfortable XOXO..TTYL

1 day post transfer

It's been one day since my 5 day transfer. I posted my two little embies yesterday. I didn't get a grade of the embies so if you can tell good quality by looking someone let me know. To tell a little bit about my transfer story ...
We arrive at 12:00pm appt was at 12:30pm.. we showed up me, hubby ans a 33 oz of water. I have to pee ( tmi ) about once while we we waiting and then after we were taken back to the procedure room the nurse allowed me to go twice since the RE was running late. He finally arrived about 1:05pm and we got things rolling.. They were all ready to get it started ..I guess they had to finish me before they could go to lunch.
But ... he came in and then embryologist came to the lil window in the room and they gave me and the hubby a pic of our babies and showed us them floating in the petri dish.. Ooh i was i luv already. The RE put my babies back home in the uterus soon to be womb where hopefully and prayfully will stay for the next 9 months. At what point does a Uterus become a womb? TTYL XOXO

1 day post ER

Its been a busy couple of days
First things first my egg retrieval.
I went in at 6:30 they set me up with an IV and took me to the procedure room. The IV was suppose give some drug that would put me in a semi-conscious state, but it knocked me all the way out. I think i regained consciousness for about a minute but i hardly remember any of it. I woke up back i the original Lil waiting room i was in dazed and confused. for a few minutes, my nurse told me that they retrieved a Wopping 33 EGGS..i was like WOW!!.. she said I was a regular chicken dropping all of those eggs.

I was in some discomfort when i got home i had my hubby give me a RX pain reliever and laid down for a few hours. But after a while I was feeling up to a walk so we went grocery shopping and I felt fine if not a Lil constipated. Is it OK for me to take laxatives at this point? Today at 1 day post I feel 70% better. I just have a bit of soreness in the pelvic region especially when i have a full bladder. Other then that I'm great but still a bit bloated Which is to be expected with 33 follicles being retrieved and still swollen.

My report today was:
34 retrieved
21 Mature
21 Inseminated (ICSI)
12 Fertilized

So the plan is to do a 5 day transfer on Monday at 12:30.
See ya then TTYL!!! XOXO

Let's Get ready for RETRIVAL!

So today was my last scan and I'm done with stims...Great!
I Had a bunch of fat happy follicles ranging between 15-22 mm
Measured Left:21.31, 20.29, 19.24, 18.66, 18.28, 18.13, 17.76, 17.11, 16.88, 16.07Measured Right: 21.83, 21.76, 21.2, 19.98, 19.46, 19.32, 19.32, 19.18, 18.1, 17.18
Endo Thickness-10.84
E2:9983.59

I'm a lil worried with that E@ being like super high. I really don't want another OHSS episode. Tonight i triggered with a prefilled syringe of Lupron, as opposed to Ovigril to trigger. Possibly to head off the OHSS which is trigger with the intro of HCG to the system. WHEN i become pregnant and produce HCG on my own the OHSS could still pop up, but if that occurs we will deal with it as it comes.
I was given some new scripts for my pre- and post - ER ..including
Prometrium- taken vag
Estradiol - taken Vag
Prednisone - Taken orally
Doxycycline Taken Orally
Progesterone in oil-Taken in the ass...lol =)

My little joke now.. a big pain in the rear end later.
I Trigger tonight
Have blood work in the morning to make sure all went well and then i have my ER done Wednesday morning.. Talk to ya'll then .. TTYL XOXO
