OMG!!!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I can't believe how busy this post is! Just finished reading about everyone but impossible to address each individually. Just wanted to say how great a journey it's been. (YES....even though we "failed" it has been a lesson learned) I have decided to ...

Sonia, sweetie,
I'm so sorry. I was so hoping for you to have better luck we did. I know all too well how you feel and don't envy you those houseguests. I spent days in bed crying after each negative and each miscarriage. Let yourself grieve it's absolutely essential and know that we're all here ...

Sonia,
I'm thinking positive for you! About the pee sticks......here's my take on them. As for the HCG shots, my RE only had me do 1 the day before.....or actually 36 hours before ER. The HCG from the shot was always cleared yielding a negative HPT by 7 days post ER. I know alot of gals on here and ...

Kat,
That's soooo awesome you get to start early! I'm so excited for you. Best of luck.
Wisconsingal,
Sorry your DH can't be with you but it really is a piece of cake. AS Kat said, a bit of a cramp and a tiny twinge of sharp pain (like with a pap) and then done. I had to have a full bladder all 6 ...

Hey Wisconsin.....That's awesome. Here's hoping for some 8 or 9 cell blasts for transfer on Friday. How old are you? How many are they putting back? Are they doing assisted hatching? Do tell! My hubby said it was the last time after the 2nd time but he changed his mind for 2 more. I more or less ...

Hi Everyone,
It's been a long long time since I last posted. After all the bad luck I wrote about my computer crashed and I eventually had to reformat the hard drive so I had no computer for awhile.
Tammy,
I can't believe how far along you are now! I tried to logon to Photobucket but it said the ...

Hi ladies, So sorrry to be absent for so long and now pop in and be needy but it's exactly one of those days. Turns out that all the OT I was working in the ER got me this wretched flu that has had me down with cough, fever, weakness, vomiting, shortness of breath and just general misery. So last ...

Hi ladies!
It's been forever since i've signed on. Hubby and I are in Washington, DC for 3 months as I have taken a contract at a University Hospital here in the Neuro ICU. I've been working working working to earn some money for Christmas. Finances are extremely tight since hubby lost his job. It's ...

Hi ladies,
Still checking in on all of you regularly. I feel like you're all family. Don't have anything exciting to report. Hubby still unemployed but we're enjoying the time together and i've decided to do a travel contract in a University Hospital in Washington DC. The big inner city hospitals ...

Kat,
Glad to hear your father is past his surgery now and on the road to recovery. My dad's last living sibling died last week and it's got me realizing his time is coming soon and I can't bear it. I know how much you must have been worrying.
Anna,
That sucks that you have to wait an extra week for ...

Charlton, Welcome to the over 40's. Don't be too hard on yourself about the way you're feeling. I felt such a wide range of emotions I thought i was losing my mind. Don't mean to scare you but just to prepare you but the emotional thing will get worse when you start the hormone injections. Just ...

Victoria,
Welcome to the "over 40's". I've done 1 IUI with injectables and 6 IVF's. For some reason that my RE can't explain I respond overly well....I know, seems like an oxymoron....but I was on the lowest does of Follistim and Repronex with the last 4 cycles after overstimming with the first 2 ...

Bev,
I'm thinking a boy for you also.
Tammy,
Purely from a nursing stanpoint. It is normal to have spotting after intercourse but some docs will tell you not to do it just to alleviate concerns and anxiety. I've seen many many patients come to the ER with spotting and have normal ultrasounds but I ...

Hi all,
Feeling much better now. With the help of some time and a bit of anti depressant. Still very difficult to go in the nursery so I don't do it often. Very very nervous about the possibility of another baby coming to us but time will tell. I'm so happy to be reading about all your ultrasounds ...

Hi everyone, Just stopped in to catch up and get some moral support. They took our tiny foster baby away because they felt we were too emotionally involved and because we had established a relationship with the bio mom (because we thought it was best for all involved) they feel we were trying to ...
