Oh gina!!! I am so sorry this happened to you!! I do hope you are okay!!! Remember it only takes 1 little fighter!!! Keep us posted on everything!

Hey girls!

Welcome and good luck thook! 2ww wow! That is exactly where I want to be right now!

I have a scan tomorrow and bloodwork. They upped the meds starting Tuesday so hopefully I responded. My estrogen was low and they want it to be higher. I am scared. What if they cancel me? Can they do that at this point? They saw 8 follicles on Mon. Oh well, I'll worry about it tomorrow!

Right now I have a KILLER headache. Can I take something for it?

Jeck- 23 eggs WOW!! That's wonderful!!

Nance- How are you doing? Today the cyst is gone right??

Haylie- Good luck Friday!!

cmoscar- Don't let your family stress you out, easier said than done I know! You have to follow your heart and do what you and DH think is the right thing for your family. What could be wrong with wanting to have another baby? Did you have a scan today? How many eggs are you cooking??

cowgirl- good luck tomorrow!

Well I'm off to the store to find something to make for dinner. Any ideas?? I'll talk to you all later!

take care!

Hi Everyone,

I am having the worst time ever at the moment and I am so sorry to bring negativity to this board but you are all the guys I have been chatting to!
I was told yesterday when I had my blood taken that our treatment was going to be delayed till November, however I had to phone today for my blood results and they told me I now have to wait till December!!!
I really don't think I can cope anymore, I have been crying all afternoon and really don't have a clue what to do with myself or how I am going to get through the next two months!!!!
I am so sorry to be so down when you are all at exciting times of your treatment but I just thought this might help me because you are all great!
I just wanted to thank you all for your kindness and I hope you all do well on your cycles.
Thank you to Haylie and Nance for your information on New York it will be a great help as we don't have a clue what we are doing!!
Thank you also to Jeck and Jen J for your kind words regarding my cycle.
Thank you to everyone for listening to me moaning!
Take Care

Gina - I;m so sorry about what happened to you but 3 is still a good number and fingers crossed they will all fertilise, don't forget it only takes one little darling to make our dreams come true. I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Cheekeymonkey - I know Dec seems so far away but it will be here before you know it. Try and get excited about your trip, plan what you are going to do on each day and maybe try and sort out all your christmas pressies and cards out because in Dec you will be too busy concentrating on that BFP!! Keep your chin up honey and when you do get your BFP it will all have been worth it.

Good luck for Cowgirl, Lori and Malinka for your ET tomorrow, willbe thinking of you let us know how you get on.

Cheeky,

Gosh, I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. I've told everyone in my family that supports me through this time that the hardest part of it all is the waiting. Time goes so slowly when you are counting the seconds. Hang in there, we are all here for you so don't feel bad about your post!! Try to focus on NY and all the fun you will have with DH. Be safe!

Congrats to all the ladies who got eggies. It's so exciting yet terrifying. My motto as you can see from my screen name is BELIEVE!!!!

Gina, I feel for you but don't give up. You only need one, sweetie. I had a freak thing happen also and ovulated the night before surgery my last round and even the doctor was shocked. I still don't know of anyone else this has happend to. Anyway, he was able to collect 3 eggs (thank God), they were all perfect, and all 3 fertilized (amazing). I got prego but unfortunately lost it after 5 weeks. Like everyone said though, at least I know I can get pregnant. I'll be going for my EC in about another week and I'm really nervous. We have to just keep the faith and trust in God that we are where we are meant to be. I'm praying hard for you!

Haylie, Lori, Cowgirl, Malinka, Gina - good luck on the transfer. Your babies are waiting for you!!!

Tasha, can't wait to hear your news. Glad you found us. Hang in there, you will be celebrating soon

Cmoscar - It's difficult knowing people might be judging you but they aren't in your shoes. Follow your heart and do what it tells you. You fight for what you want, the prize is priceless!!

Best wishes to those of us stimming right now, it won't be long. Brighter days are around the corner!

Sorry if I've forgotten anyone, there are so many of us now I'm having to take notes.

I started my shots Monday and this time am having some side effects. My lower back is killing me today, I feel like an old lady. Has anyone else had that side effect with the shots? Maybe I am just getting old I'm also doing acupuncture so that seems to be going well and will hopefully help. I've been told it should but how will I ever know. I will try anything though at this point.

Think positive thoughts everyone and BELIEVE!!!

Cheekymonkey,

I've been thinking about you all morning, and then saw your newest post about being postponed to December. I'm so sorry Dear. I kept thinking about what I could say that would make you feel better, and what kept coming to mind is a "Chicken Soup for your Soul" calendar my mum gave me this past Christmas. I haven't moved it off of January 25th because the sentiment hit home and kept me going through the times when all I could think of was what I didn't have yet...a baby. The quote is, "In our haste to make plans for our lives, we sometimes--even with the best of intentions--miss out on the life we already have." I keep this at my desk at work trying to remind myself to live in the moment I have now, love my husband, appreciate the great people that have come from this adventure, and grow from the experience. I wasn't going to write this, because I wasn’t sure if it might sound insensitive, or as if I was trying to minimize any feelings you are having. You are sooo entitled to being angry and sad right now. I only write it because it helped me get through some of the rougher spots, particularly when life wasn't going as planned...You take care, my Dear, and hang in there...After all, you do realize that by this same time next year you will be ready to bring that baby into this world!? Enjoy this alone time with that wonderful hubby of yours until then...

[gina.s.]

thanks alot haylie and beleivebaby, your kid words and own stories brought tears to my eyes (bit weepy today). i will try and keep you posted. good luck with EC next week beleivebaby, take it easy x

[cheekymonkey]

Charity - Thank you so much for your post, I am not angry at all at what you wrote, I know that it is exactly right what you said and I am sure that I will soon be able to deal with it, it's just that at the moment I am feeling really dishartened!!
I just feel that things have gone wrong for us every step of the way so far and just when we thought that surely they couldn't go wrong again this happens!, we seem to be having the worst luck in the world and I just feel like maybe this wont ever happen for me! I know that this is probably dramatic and selfish but it is just how I feel right now, I am sure I will snap out of it soon and find a way to deal with the wait ahead and it is people like you who will make that easier for me!
So thank you again for you thoughts and I wish you the best of luck in your current cycle and I am sending you lots of baby dust!!!!

Believebaby - You are exactly right when you say that the waiting is the hardest part of this journey and I think that is why it feels so bad that I now have to wait and extra four weeks, I know that I have to try and concentrate on other things like New York and hopefully in a coulple of days I will be able to do that, but at the moment I think I need to try and get my head around what is happening and why!
I want to wish you lots of luck with your cycle and I am also sending you lots of baby dust!!!

Haylie - I think that is a good idea about the christmas cards and stuff, I make my own cards so maybe I could get them started, I don't really feel like it at the moment but I really should make myself! I think I should just try and snap out of it and stop feeling sorry for myself!
I hope all is going well with your current cycle and I am sending lots of baby dust your way!!

Thanks again to all you ladies, I hope that all of you October Buddies get a BFP!!!!!
Take Care

Thanks Jen for the info.

Gina, sorry to hear about your EC but like it's been said, it only takes one.

Went to the doc today and estrogen levels look good so we will be starting stims on Friday for sure.....Here we go!!! So excited to get the ball rolling.

[cmoscar]

All - I got my results from Tuesday this morning. My scan was postponed because they want to wait until Saturday. They said my baseline show enough good prefollies that they are not concerned. My E2 was right on target. It went from 62 to 153. I'm not 100% sure what that means, but my RE told me this was good. They are keeping my "drugs" at the same levels and I am going in for another E2 test in the morning. Hopefully, they will not miss my results this time. As far as all the extra sweet messages about my family situation, I do appreciate it. I actually prefer not to talk about my family, but I was weak. I have been very moody the last few days ad I am trying hard not to let it happen, but at times I cannot help it. I love all the stories and talk that we all do. It keeps me sane on this rollercoaster were are riding.

Thanks to all and loads of sticky baby dust to all of us!

[lori]

Gina - I can't believe that happened. I think you will be fine with 3 - I know of friends with BFP with 3 eggs! Stay positive!

My Dr. called and left me a message saying that my 4 eggs looked good and she wanted to transfer all of them tomorrow. Of course, I can't reach her to get more info (cell count) and she didn't leave it on the message. I am SO frustrated. I feel that I have a right to the info for as much money and time I have put into this. It looks like I'll have to wait until ET tomorrow to know more..... so frustrating! It would be nice to know what they look like so DH and I could have a informed discussion about the # we want to ET.
