how are you feeling? i hope your side effects aren't too bad.

this morning i had an excruciating pain in my lower abdomen. at first, i was thinking, "this must be the cramp like pain women on here are talking about" - NOPE! it was that my body was trying to tell me (pardon my expression) you need to extract the excess waste. i thought for sure what i ate last night made me sick. i though it was diarrreah as well. i didn't know if i was gonna vomit or have a BM, it even made me sweat!
I felt so much better afterwards...i know TMI, right? I just notice lately when i'm gonna have a BM, my lower abdomen aches :0 Also, since yesterday I haven't felt as hungry like the past days when I was stuffing my face every chance I had. I can't wait for 12.01.09!!!

on ET, my progresterone is 150 but I don't have tender bb's, just little more sensitive, but it's gone now.  I used not to fit to any clothes till 2 days ago.
Not much symptom except backaches, a bit dizzy, and maybe cramps or stomach pain because of diahrea?  These happened on other positive or negative cycles as well........So I could not tell the difference....just try to stay positive.

I tested yesterday, and ofcourse BFN which can tell the trigger is out.  I'll start testing tomorrow till Monday, BW.

Good luck

Today marks 4dpt. I can't believe that in less than a week I will be going in for BW. I'm not gonna lie, I have been wanting to purchase HPT to use this weekend once I hit the 7 or 8 day mark, but I will try and wait it out 'til 12.01.09

I haven't been feeling much of anything, except for some of the typical symptoms I get before AF (thirsty, sleepy & craving lemon w/ pineapple) Last night I was so sleepy, I didn't even stay up to watch the finale of one of my favorite shows. Dr. still has me on dexamethasone (steroid) and progesterone injections & suppositories. I did feel a bit light headed the last couple of nights, but again I'm contributing it to the meds/stims doing their thing. None of my clothes, except for pj's, fit me :( I realize I'm bloated from all the stims, but it's not easy walking around w/ jeans unbuttoned :0

I realize every woman's body reacts differently. I just wish I could get some signal that a little one is snuggling up in a safe, cozy spot. I'm not making much of tender bb's because I'm pretty sure the progesterone is causing it. Any input would be wonderful :)

Mariana101: How are you? Don't be nervous, I'm sure everything will turn out just fine. I'm excited for you since Beta is right around the corner for you :) Remind your DH to be positive and he is after all, your backbone through out all this. I will continue to pray for you. Surround yourself by company, especially those who bring light and positive vibes to ya - it will help ease the nervousness.

AFM, I had my transfer yesterday. Everything went amazingly well. I had a 3dt with 4 embies.  On the way home from the procedure, I fell asleep. Got home, headed to bed and slept for at least 2-3 hours straight. I also started on progestrone suppositories last night - no fun :( This morning, I ate...and ate, then slept for about an hour or so ater that. I think the progesterone suppositories/injections is what's causing the fatigue. I told my DH, I will still take it easy, but I'm ready to get out of the house tomorrow to watch a movie or something. I'm becoming bored from watching so much t.v. I keep looking back at the pic my DR have me of the 4 embies and at the sonogram. I keep telling my DH my theory behind it all. He's very optomostic about the whole situation and even though this is our only chance, we realize the possibility of a negative outcome. I do know God is Great and he will only give us what we can truly handle ;)

p.s. I have been craving pineapple w/ lemon like you wouldn't believe. I know what you're thinking...WAAAAAAAAAAY too early for cravings my "amiga" but just thought I'd throw it in there :) I'm just gonna let time take its course and in less than 2 weeks, I'll know!
