Hello Ladies- Laura- thanks for checking in with me :). Well, we just officially had our 3rd in a row IVF bfn :(. I tried not to get my hopes up too much this time, and in fact, I am feeling pretty calm. Maybe even oddly so. But I am gonna ride this calm wave and just keep looking ahead. I believe w...

Hi Michelle- It's your August 08 Bump Buddy :). Sorry to hear this news. I know you said the fat lady has sung, but still... e.g., my BIL's sister had her second IVF baby at the age of 48. I know your circumstances are totally different, but there are many years ahead for you and hubby, and you neve...

Jen- Hey, I guess I'm a 'sometimes' board reader, but I've been keeping up with your story. Then I saw today that you saw a heartbeat. Hooray! I was really pulling for you! Please please please G-d may you see those little arm and leg buds moving around on the next u/s. Good good feeling :). Let us ...

Hey Lauren-
I never asked, but i'd imagine that, since the trigger makes u ovulate, it provides an ideal 'atmosphere' in the uterus for implantation. So the repeated shots keep renewing that for me. Hoping it works .

Hi ladies - Leora- u've been on my mind <3! I just read your post and sorry to hear about the m/c :(. I know what you mean about just wanting a definitive answer so at least you know what u need to deal with (((hugs))) Laura- we have the same transfer date! August birthdays, ay ;)? AFM: really tryin...

Gina and Hope-
Thanks for the welcomes! Hoping for that BFP as well.

Hope- I can't believe how quickly you got me onto that list! You're amazing!

I will, please G-d, have time for personals tomorrow. Gotta catch up on your posts too

Hugs and healthy pregnancies,

Hey all- hope you have room for yet another IVFer. I've been lurking here reading your stories. As always, you all show such amazing spirit, hope, as well as support. I could use some of that positivity now. I'm currently in the early part of my 2ww. This is IVF#6 for me. I got pregnant on IVF#2, an...

Try not to worry about the bleeding. I too had some bleeding with my son... after intercourse. So an U/S can def. also irritate the cervix, esp. since that area is a million times more sensitive during pregnancy... and will get increasingly more so as your pregnancy continues. Have a safe and smooth...

I totally support your FET cycle. I think the nurse at the hospital told me they only keep the embies for a limited amount of time (frozen), don't know which kupa you are with, so may not be the same. In any case, this FET might BE the one. You never know. Also, would going straight to a fresh cycle...

Wow your beta went up LYD!!! Could be it was twins and now is one?? It's been known to happen. Makes sense, as 143 is a nice healthy 'doubling' plus for 50. Fingers crossed for you, positivity comin' your way!!!!

Dtao- same thing happened to me 4 yrs. ago. Very few eggs. But then they got two blasts out of that (no freezies), and now I have my son who just turned 3 yesterday .

LYD- yay, sounds good! I know u have trauma from your ectopic, but chances r slim that lightning struck twice. Keep us posted .

Good luck everyone who is 2wwing, ERing, etc'ing...

As for me, I begin a short (fresh) cycle yet again in a few weeks, after I get my AF. Bought all the meds, bring it on!

Dogzrule-
How exciting!! Congrats!! Gives me hope ... And just a reminder not to feel guilty about taking it easy. If you feel like resting, just do it. This is your time .

Tina- Believe it or not, I am still in touch with Rebecca (2nd timer) and Seltzer! I am facebrook friends with them. We've seen eachother's kids growing up, it's nice :). Do you do facebook? I would be happy to friend you on there if you'd like. If not, no probs. If you want to, PM me, and we can tr...

Ah- Just reread and saw you have already begun your frozen cycle. Hope you get your BFP real soon! Keep me updated
