Jill Bekki and Bubble

SO very sorry to hear about Jills loss. It's a loss for all of us as we look to others success for hope in succes for ourselves. I do know it will happen for all of us at some point, it just may take longer then we thought. I think of you often and enjoy the updates I get from ...

Hi Bekki,
I had the other test too. It's standard for all IVFers in our practice before you can begin. It's totally fine. A little cramping, but from what I understand it's similar to the transfer.

Give yourself some time to mourn. It's natural. Then you'll find yourself gettitng excited for the ...

Bekki
I had the dye in the tubes test and it wasn't that bad and only lasted about 10 minutes. It would be worth knowing.
Good luck!!!!

PS This will make you stronger for when your kids are teenagers! You'll need the strength!!!

Hi Bekki,
I'm not sure about when your period should come, but I was told that the HCG shot will give you a false negative on a HPT and that you should do a blood test at the Doc. If it has been 14 days since your transfer, I would get the blood test ASAP. It does not matter when your period is due ...

YUCK! So sorry. Don't know what to say. At least we all know how you feel and how bad you wanted it and you are not as alone as you may feel.

As you know, I didn't even make it to transfer but I still communicate with this board as it helps me cope. I hope you'll do the same.

Try the IUI and ask ...

So are we married to the same man??? TV and Computer???? My husband has abandoned our home office as he has found that he can watch TV and work on his lap top at the same time. Of course one of the things I read last week is that the heat from the lap top on his lap can cause low sperm count! I ran ...

We are all waiting to hear from Jill and wishing her the best!!!

I was thinking about all of us and this whole process. The one thing I can say is that we are troopers. This process is not for the faint of heart. From the tests required beforehand, to the shots, to all the time and travel - the ...

Hi Bekki et all!

Don't worry about being hungy, it's not your period, its the hormones they are giving you. They told me some women gain 10 pounds during all of this. CAN NOT WAIT for your test. It seems like it's 100 years from now - possibly because it's in a different month...


Just met with my ...
