LS, YAHHHHHHHHHHHH :-) So happy for you!

Browni, Glad to hear you are doing better.

Ls, so happy about you! Now you can relax! When is the ultrasound?
Brownie, i hope you keep being better!

For me it sounds crazy that i have to pass this again. I though i was done and now i just bought a test, not wanting to use it.

Thanks ladies, i am seriously in shock. We were totally preparing for the worst. I will find out later today when my u/s will be :)

I love our little family :)

I love it too!
I did the test, it was negative, but relieved as i guess it wouldnt be a viable pregnancy if i had a late bfp.
I am looking forward for the next cycle, as Basia very well said, finally to be a normal couple.

kethryes - now that you tested AF will show up tomorrow ;)

Yay, LS!!!!! That is GREAT news!!! So happy for you!!!!

Brownie- I'm glad you're feeling better! I had read on another forum somewhere that in addition to drinking gatorade to help ohss, that you should also eat salty foods. I don't remember what the reasoning was for it as I thought salt always caused bloating. I made sure to eat salty chips after my egg retrieval and all of my bloating was gone within 3 days so it didn't hurt in my case. Hopefully, your family doc gives you the ok and doesn't make you go to the ER. That is a ridiculously long wait time!

Basia- I hope you enjoy your trip to Poland and having some time to be a normal married couple. Trying to maintain that normalcy is difficult when you're taking opks, temping, shooting yourself up with IVF meds or having gunk coming out of you(that's for those of you who have had the pleasure of taking Crinone). My DH recently had a spaz on me for the same thing.

I just wish for all of us to be able to get that baby that we so desperately want. In the meantime, this forum makes me feel less lonely because no one really understands this struggle unless they've gone through it themselves.

As an additional tip, if any of you ladies are looking for ways to start your period so you can get the move on an IUI or IVF cycle, parsley tea seems to really work. My LP ranges from 15-18 days and I needed it to start sooner rather than later so we can hopefully have enough time to start an FET cycle next month. We are leaving on vacation on 5/6 and my period is due close to then. I need to be in town on cycle day 2 to get the baseline done or else we will have to wait until July. So I drank a ton of tea to try to start it earlier this month so it will be earlier next month and it seemed to work. It tastes like green tea so it wasn't too bad.

Awesome news, LSchrader! Congrats!

LS - Yay!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

Congrats LS! I was so hoping it'd be great news!!.. Such a blessing!! ??
