Hi everyone!

It's been forever since I have posted on this board, so I don't know if anyone remembers me. I will try to catch up on famliar names and all the new ones too! I am way behind on all the current posts so I have a lot of reading to do before writing any personals. I do apologize for ...

Sunshine and Stars - Congrats on your BFP! How exciting for you and DH! I understand your hesitation with wanting to celebrate fully, but I pray for a better outcome and you will be able to enjoy your pregnancy. That has to be the worst part during all of this - the waiting to reach each milestone ...

Wow, I'm gone for a couple of days and this board truly explodes with action! BFP's, transfers, and everything else - I need to read back tons to get caught up!! While I do that, I found some interesting articles/research on relaxation techniques and reproductive massage that I thought might benefit ...

To determine the amount of coverage offered, I started with just the basic research. I googled just about every combination of search words possible and quite a few lists and blogs came up. Once I got the names of the companies, I googled their individual plans using terms such as "full time ...

Wow! It's hard to stay up to date on this board. There has been tons of activity which is great! Glad to see lots of progress over the last couple of days.

WeHaveHope - Thanks for the birthday wishes. I had a great day with friends and family. It happens to be that I am a hige football fan and ...

I will do more personals later because I'm in the doctors office and on my phone. I got a call from my RE on Friday asking if I wanted an earlier appt and could I come in today instead of the 26th. Um YES! I turned 35 yesterday and time is ticking away. I need to start asap! So now I have back to ...

Fruit -I completely understand what you are going through and like others have said you must never apologize for your emotions and need to vent. There are good days, bad days and then the days you don't even want to get out of bed. We have all been there which is why we have the ability to empathize ...

WeHaveHope - Thanks for doing the dance for me. I certainly appreciate it. I will keep dancing for the other ladies too. I'm sorry that having to deal with the prolonged bleeding after the MC. Hopefully, it will clear itself up with AF, but like someone else said I have heard that a D&C can actually ...

If you are saying 12-13 days past retrieval you are at the point where you would first start seeing a line and it wouldn't be late implantation, at all. Typically the embryos are put back at 3 or 5 days past retrieval and you would see the 2nd line at 7-8 days post transfer. This would be 10-13 days ...

WeHaveHope - I'm glad it helped, but I have to say thats its a lot easier to maintain some perspective on the outside looking in. I have been away from the IVF game for close to a year now, giving myself breathing room with time to refresh my PMA. Give me a couple packs of BCP, a dozen shots of ...

I just read through the last couple of pages and it both breaks my heart and encourages me to hear of everyone's pain and anticipation. It is definitely a rough road that we take on when we decide to go through IVF and it takes a strong woman (and partner!) to manage the process. There is so much to ...

Awesome news Leora! It's nice to go to the RE and everything falls in line with what you were hoping for. I love when I have dates and a calendar that I can start to follow. It just makes everything feel more real and that things are happening. Thanks for the congrats on the weight. Its coming off ...

Keep sharing as you find things!! Thanks all!!

Hi all!!

I hope that everyone is doing well and trying to get as much rest as possible over the next couple of weeks. Once you get your BFP, it will be go, go, go. I'm really happy to see that so many people that I have cycled with in the past are getting positive results lately. It gives me so ...

Ester - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Not sure if you remember me, but we cycled together last fall on the same schedule. I'm soooo happy for you!
