Hi Folks,
Thought I'd let you know that we got a negative result today. I have not cried, nor do I feel devastated. Somehow, accepting the possiblity that this may not work helps me not get so crushed when dealing with the reality of a negative. I had really prepared myself mentally, as well, for ...

Hey Fee!!
That's awesome! So happy for you. I have not tested yet. No symptoms really except that I haven't had my period, but progesterone shots will do that. Thrilled for you though! Yipee!

Karin

Thanks Ange,
Yes, I decided a while ago that I couldn't trust my body with the drugs in my system. I've felt pregnant so many times. The cramping is new though, I didn't have it last time I was on progesterone, so I was getting hopeful. Funny how I could just go and get the test today but really, I ...

Thank you so much both of you for responding. It's nuts, isn't it? I just have to be here with not knowing -- as you do too. Ugh. I don't have sore boobs really, though when I was pregnant (before we miscarried) my boobs didn't get sore until week six or so. Anyway...these next three days are the ...

Hello,
I'd love it if someone could answer this question for me. I am at the end of my 2ww and supposed to test tomorrow, but for reasons I won't get into, I've chosen to wait until Monday. For the last three days I've had mild cramps. I'm taking progesterone shots and I'm wondering if it's because ...

Hello Fellow Courageous Women!
Boy, that makes me sound more perky than I feel for sure! First, thanks to everyone who responded to my email. SOOOO great to know what I'm going through is not a total exercise in solitude. (DH is great, but still, not the one carrying all this out in his body ...

Hello Everyone,

Great to read everyone's news and see so much support on this list. When I read these lists, I can't help but want to cheer us all on and remind myself and everyone how damn courageous we all are!

I'm in the second week of my 2ww. We transferred eight embryos, but of those, the ...

Mominwaiting,

SOOOO sorry you aren't feeling well. Ugh. And then the progesterone shot problem to boot. I'm wonderng if they are related?

I have not heard of this kind of reaction to the shots. I think you should definately call the dr, they may have a suggestion. Seem important.

Hang in there ...

Hi Julie,

Thanks for your response. The valium was just a little and took the edge off a bit. The third transfer was a lot more stressful than the first, which was actually quite fun.

Glad you got some chuckling in. THat's very cute!

In terms of your boobs...are you taking progesterone shots, or ...

Hello everyone,

Back from the retreat. Sorry I left some of your responses for so long. Thanks to all who sent me messages. We did our transfer today, but before I share the details, just a few responses first:

Fee - You transferred yesterday! I hope it went well. I think you said you had three ...

Hi Everyone,
So good to know you are all out there. We did our transfer today, but before getting into the details, let me type up some quick responses:

Dexter - I'm so sorry about that damn pregnancy test. I think Auntpebbles is right though (thank you by the way, Auntpeb, for tying that up ...

Dear Steph, et al,

Wow, that's amazing that you tracked everyone so well. Thank you for all your support for ALL of us. What a treat! I don't seem to have the bandwidth to put together a response like that though I am eagerly reading everyone's news.

Typically RE's don't support chinese herbs ...

Hi Julie (and everyone else too!)
Your protocol is pretty different from ours. we don't get sedated for a transfer. I happened to ask about valium, so i will take some :) to help keep me calm. As for the progesterone, I'm assuming you're talking about the suppositories. I was very flexible on when I ...

Yes Julie and Rebecca,

The unfairness of other's pregnancies! I remember a year ago... I had just returned from being with my husband's family in Florida where my new, oldest sister in law eagerly inquired about all aspects of our miscarriage. I was hurting and partly enjoying the attention of her ...

Hi Fee,
Glad the retrieval went well. I hope you're feeling OK. I couldn't see from your post if this was your first, second or? time? Either way...I'm assuming you're waiting now for a fertilization report. Go sperm Go!

Hi Julie, where in England are you? I grew up outside London. I don't know a ...
