Image Wannababy - I was sooo hoping you would not have to go through what I went through. The first few days was the hardest for me. The only thing that made me feel better was time and the wonderful things the girls on this board said to me. I'm thinking and praying for you sweetie!

Love Alicia

ps I recieved flowers today from my RE's office. I thought that was very nice. Image

wannababy, I'm so very sorry. :cry: (((hugs))) I can only imagine how hard it is. Please be strong. Next time will be better. I hope you won't give up. Hang in there.

I was going through withdrawals because I could not log into these boards for 2 days. :?
I can't stand not knowing if I'm pregnant or not. I keep waiting to see if I feel anything. But nothing really. I felt some twinges, but I think it may have been gas. I noticed some discharge, but it's similar to the stuff before AF. Not knowing is so hard. :? I'm taking high doses of hormones too, so who knows if anything I feel will be from the meds or pregnancy. I suppose it's way too early for preg symptoms.

How is everyone else today?

rENEE,

I am soooo sorry. I really thought itwas going to be a positive. I feel like crying for you/with you. It all seems so unfair. Hang in there. Have a big cry, be sad, be mad, and then look at your options. We are here for you!

Love,

Wannababy,

I am very sad about your BFN, Image I was thinking of your test today. I have not been able to log in to this website for 2 days. It is almost midnight and it is finally working. I cannot even imagine what it is like to go through all of this and get a BFN, so like Sam said, cry, because it will help relieve everything. But please, don't lose your faith, this is just a beginning and I know you will get pregnant soon! Please don't you ever stop hoping, we will be here for you and we are going to go through everything together! You know the saying: "If it does not kill you, it will make you stronger!" And I am saying again, we will not leave this board until we all get BFP!
Love and hugs Lola Image

Hi ladies,

Thanks so much for your kind sentiments. I hope today is a better day than yesterday. I woke up this morning hoping that it was a bad dream. I don't mean to be a downer, but I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with you all.

I hope all of you are going through this process with grace and ease. Please keep the faith and don't let my experience interfere with your PMA. Take care and lots of baby dust to all of you! :)

Damn! Sorry to hear that, Wannababy.

Unfortunately, most fresh non-donor IVF cycles fail these days. Don't blame yourself, or worry if you did any step wrong, or worry if there is something wrong with you. It's not your fault, it just happens, and most of the time.

I hope you are successful in the future, with whatever you try.

wannababy - I am so sorry to hear about the BFN. I was so hoping that everything would work out. Please don't give up yet. Cry, get angry, get it out of your system now and then focus on what you will do next. You are in my thoughts.

how is everyone? You must all be busy for the holiday weekend. That's good. :)

wannababy & shapooh, how are you doing? I know it's going to take some time to heal.

Champa, how are you feeling? Anxious at all? I'm trying to not think about my pg test, but i can't get away from it. I don't know if I have any pg symptoms, I really have no clue if what I feel is from pg or the meds. Everything is pretty mild, no bad cramps, slightly tender bbs, not extremely bloated, except after eating. I am getting increasing tired everyday. I'm usually a night owl, but it's only 9 PM now and I really feel like going to sleep. :shock: I do think I'm tired partly from having to get up early every other day for BTs. How often do you have to do BTs?

Hope you are all having a good Labor day! xo

Champa and Hopeful--How are you ladies doing in your 2ww? It's not too long now! Try not to analyze every ache and twinge.

Shapooh- The flowers are really sweet--that's nice of your facility. How are you feeling?

Lola- Your "turtle" days are coming to an end. You'll be starting soon!

Sam--I hope your pregnancy is treating you kindly!

I go back to work tomorrow so I won't be here as often, but I will certainly be checking in. I hope all is well with each and everyone of you!

Each day gets a bit easier. :) You ladies are awesome! ((((((hugs))))))

Champa and Mia - How are you doing? You are well into your second week of the 2ww and you are almost there. Hang in there. I hope you aren't going crazy during the wait and are keeping yourselves occupied. You are both in my thoughts and I am sending plenty of sticky baby dust your way.

Wannababy - glad to see that you are feeling better. Remember you are not alone here. Take this time to pamper yourself and your DH.

Alicia - how are you doing? I hope you enjoyed your manicure/pedicure.

Ladies - I hope all of you are enjoying the Labor day weekend.

Hello Everyone, I am new to this board. Hope you don't mind me jumping in here. I am on day 4 of stims (Gonal F/Repronex). This is my 2nd IVF cycle. I have endometriosis and I had to have my tubes taken out last summer. My first cycle was BFN. I contribute this to RE error and myself not being educated enough. It's such a learning process. She under medicated me and I did not respond well.

I am cautiously optimistic about this cycle. I have done alot of things different, one being acupuncture. I really think there is something to it. I am definitely a fan and I pray it's my ticket to a BFP.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and get to know everyone.
