Thank you so much for keeping everyone informed about me Beth...You were great to help out so much with me not having a computer up and running...However now I do have one so I can keep in touch...Gabriel is doing great...I can;t believe he turned 6 weeks on Saturday...Time sure does fly...He is beautiful and has a great disposition...He doesn't fuss much and has been sleep 4-6 hours in between bottles since we came home from the hospital...I have been blessed...
My birth story...Well I went in originally on Friday the 28th of March at 6:30 in the morning to be induced...They were so crowded that they sent all the scheduled c-sections and inductions home until 21 people could be discharged from the post partum unit and the ones in labor and delivery could be sent to the post partum unit...It was crazy...Well then at 1:30pm that same day I got a call to tell me to come back in at 3:30pm...So when we got back there they took me right in and at 4:30 they started the pitocin and I was 2cm at that point...They also broke my bag of waters and put a monitor on Gabriel's head to monitor his heartbeat because of my excess skin they were not able to get his heartbeat to register with the external monitor...Let me just say that that whole ordeal HURT!!!!...So a few hours later I got my epidural and was relaxing...My left side kept getting more and more numb because that was the side that I was laying on so he could better tolerate the contractions that I was having...So at around 6:30am they cheked me and I was 9cm and then shift change happened so they did not check me again until around 8:30am and I was 10cm and could start pushing...Well after about an hour of pushing Gabriel came out at 9:27am and weighed in at 7lbs 15ounces and was 20 1/4 inches long...He was wide awake and stayed that way until they took him to the nursery to get his first bath...Now my little man is 12lbs 2 ounces and almost 22 inches long...He loves to eat and it shows...I would love to send you all pictures...Anyone interested just drop me an email and I will send you his shutterfly album...
Well enough about me...How is everyone else...I have sooo missed you all!!!...Looking forward to catching up

Best Wishes, Jenny

Hi all -
This is my second go around for the two week wait. I had a failed cycle back in October. I had my transfer on Monday - 2 excellent quality embies! My beta is on Friday the 13th of all days. I found this site very comforting last time. Good luck to all.
Take care, Meg

Hi tmayca,
When is your Beta? I believe you transfered a day after me. Mine is soon and I am going crazy. I have been very nauseous - started early this morning about 2am and I also had a pretty bad headache. I don't know if it means anything but I hope it is a good sign and not just the heat here in NY!
Baby dust to you - Meg

Meg , sorry i took so long to reply I've decided to stop driving myself crazy!so i haven't been logging on as much and looking for signs and symptoms!!! We did the transfer on June 4th . how about you? I was also feeling nausea on monday afternoon thought it was because I was hungry. I think the headaches are from all the hormones we been taking.

Hi tmayac -
I have been trying this time not to over analyze every little twinge. It is hard not to. I think you are right about the headaches.
My transfer was on the 2nd. My beta is on Friday the 13th of all days. I am hoping for some good news! I am not sure how much more bad news I can take. Is your beta on the 15th? or does your office make you wait til Monday the 16th for pregnancy tests? Mine does if it fell on a weekend.
Good luck, Meg

I broke down just now and took a test - it was a BFN! I hope that it is just too soon to tell. I am really upset that I took it.

Does anyone know if progesterone suppositories and estrogen patches can cause youto have a positive urine pregnancy test . I did 2 and they were both positive but I am not sure if the drugs can cause this.

Meg - I did the same thing this morning and got the same results. At first I was really upset but I realize now it's quite early to be testing. I would normally start my cycle on or about Wed. They did the transfer on the 5th and it was a day 2 transfer. Last night I was awoken with cramps but no bleeding which never happens for me. I always bleed before I cramp, so I'm hopeful this is a good sign. I have the swollen breasts an tender nipples some women have and tension/mild cramping in the lower abdomen. Personally, I'm not going to take another HPT and will wait until I go in for my test. Don't fret too much about the BFN! - Heather

That's the trigger shot. I understand that the HCG can give a false positive pregnancy result. Some people say it's out of your system within 48 hours and others say it could still show up 12 or more days later.
