it certainly would Mel .. but I'm not holding my breath!  No more sign of af coming .. only had tiny bit of spotting yesterday and then another tiny bit today so it remains to be seen .. I have a blood test tomorrow to make sure I'm not pregnant so they can start the next step of meds so will know by tomorrow afternoon

great to hear that you're getting your body into fantastic shape .. I have been too so if this round doesn't work, I will know that I've done everything in my power for it to.

wow .. that seemed to go really fast!  I am so glad that your had 3 really strong ones .. and 2 put back!  maybe twins in your future!  the good thing with 5 day as opposed to 2 or 3 is that it's a shorter wait this end to find out if it's worked.  I will be watching out with eagerness for any news

I have started the provera and have my bt for pregnancy tomorrow along with scan to make sure the cyst hasn't refilled .. tried naturally this month as usual and am about 9 dpo although not sure .. yesterday afternoon then again this morning I have had a little bit of spotting and this morning my temp was down considerably .. so either implantation or early af .. my af is not due till next weds but it always is a bit shorter after a fresh ivf round so even though I'm holding out some hope that it happened naturally for us I am realistic in thinking that it could just be nasty af showing her head very early.

Only time will tell and I hate waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great to hear embies back in mum,their best place to be! I now its agonizing now the 2ww and believe me it won't go quick! but hey ho, you've done the hard work, now try rest, relax, nurture your belly! a little rubbing can't do an harm and is quite soothing to the mum to be , call me mad but I used to talk to my belly!!

Dear friends-

I finally made it to my tww!

First off, let me thank you for the love and support you have given me.  We all have our highs and lows- and I do not know how I would have made it without your understanding and support.  I love my family and friends- but bless them, they did not know what to say to me- you ladies did- and I thank you.  As I put in my journal- this is not a sport for wimps!  I have had an awful week- but am feeling better now!

So, we ended up going to a 5 day.  I went there for the 2 day transfer- and was waiting on the hospital bed- when RE and Embryologist came in- we had a "good" problem.  Thank God I had already taken my valium- that stuff rocks!  I kept my emotions in check and then I had the best nap EVER when I got home!!!!!!     We had 4- another had fertilized and so they wanted to wait and see what the very strongest were.  We could have inplanted 2- but we decided to wait- how can you not do what the experts suggest.  

So we went yesterday.  The late bloomer did not make it- so we had 3.  They are all very strong.  I wanted to implant all 3- but we just did two since they were so strong.  So we froze one.  The Embryologist called me after she froze it- just to let me know prior to freezing it really looked strong. She is so kind and caring.  So I have 2 embies. I am praying they are strong, sticky survivors!  I go for my Beta May 20th!  I asked my nurse about poas- she said if one came out positive- I would be pg- BUT it was also possible to get a false negative.  I am going to try not to- we will see!  Friday is my birthday- guess what I want!!!!

SO today I am ready to quit being all about myself!  I need to know how you all are doing!   I think there is a new forum for May and June-  I need to go see!

Hugs, baby dust and THANK YOU!  I hope things are going well!!!!!!!

Globetrot; ill be thinking of you tomorrow! Hope you come back with great news and look back on this experience someday with a little one in your arms and think it was all worth it!

I'm at 4 DPT and hanging in there. I go back to work tomorrow which will be nice to keep my mind off things. Had my progesterone and E2 test today so will find out if any if my meds change.
