Thank you all for your support and encouragement. It's bringing tears to my eyes. Got to hold it back, though...At work, you know...

Racheal...I want to especially thank you for your reminder of what you've been through. It does give me new hope.

Talk about strange...The doctor at the UW Hospital that is covered by my insurance is filing a sexual harassment case against her co-doctor and is moving to work for the clinic that I'm already going to...I doubt she'll still be covered by my insurance, as it's likely the contract is with the UW Hospital specifically, but maybe it's a strange sign to stay right where I'm at. The clinic I'm going to now, is moving their lab to their Madison satellite office as of the first of the new year, where the doctor currently covered by my insurance has been working out of, so seems I'll end up in Mad-Town one way or another. Pretty sad that I had to learn this all from a cover story in the Wisconsin State Journal. Oh well...Like you said, Racheal, maybe practice will make perfect, and I hope you're right, Cowgirl...I hope this was just a bad month and another will bring a totally different outcome.

You all have given me such support, and I can't thank you enough...Good luck on those scans you BFP'ers, and hang in there those on your 2WW...Just think you about how blessed you've been to make it to where you are. I've learned to not take each one of the steps to get to the point of the 2WW for granted. I never thought I'd envy those on their 2ww, as it's torture, but look at me now...Better get back to work...Later gators...:)

Rachel, congratulation!!! This 1 little embie sure is a great embie, and for sure that it will be a great baby. It really need only 1 to make it. Am so happy for you and your DH. Wish you a happy and healty pregnancy!! :)

EM - Wow! That's a very good!! 9 prefect frosties ... that's fantastic!! Welcome to the 2ww.

BelieveBaby - Good luck with your test tomorrow. Waiting for you BFP!

Looking at all these BFP!! That's amazing ... keep on coming! I am so glad to see all these BFP and it has given me a more positive feeling.

For those of you who has a bit of cramp ... I think it sounds quite normal as the ovaries have grown much more this time and have been pocked with many holes for the EC ... my doc told me that it's normal to feel a little pain. Symptoms for pregnancy normally do not shown at this very early stage, so that's normal too. Jenn, just relax ... everything will turn out fine ... we have to always stay positive. :D

I am feeling much better today. The bloating from the OHSS has started to fade away ... which is of course will be something that makes me worry too as implantation should worsen the OHSS. I have to stay positive!! As there is already nothing I can do about it besides taking things easy and relax.

Good luck for all!! :P

Hi girls,

I'm at work but wanted to jump on real quick to check in.

Jeck, those numbers are great, grow baby, grow! Keep us posted and relax and celebrate!

Charity, just know you are in all our hearts and prayers. It must be so difficult for you and DH but find strength in the love you have for each other and you WILL be successful. I'm sorry you have to go through this!

EM, that is a great outcome. Good luck, I hope your on your way to the 2WW soon and then an exciting 9 months.

Ophee, I hope the next 6 days fly by for you and we see the BFP! Try to keep busy and it will be here before you know it!

Jstrandlund, good luck on Saturday. Be sure to let your DH pamper you for the next 2 weeks!

Malinka, I'm happy to hear you will do it again. I know it's hard to put yourself out there again but it will be worth it in the end. I'm praying for you!

Jenn, try to stay positive and don't give up. I hope you are blessed with a BFP!!

Fulloffaith, tomorrow is our day!!! I hope we both get some great news.

Sorry if I missed anyone, I'm rushing right now - gotta get back to work <ugh>!

I woke up this morning with a full blown cold - sore throat, sneezing, snifling, etc. :( I'm tired but could be b/c of the cold? I feel a little crappy but am ready for tomorrow to get here. Last round I did, I had started bleeding by now and so far not a sign of AF. I've kind of been on pins and needles all week every time I would go to the restroom. I'm so relieved I haven't had any problems this time - THANK GOD. I hope that is a good sign. I will post again tomorrow once I get the news. I hope you are all having a good week, I'm sending you my love and good wishes!

Aimee

jenn wrote: I'm not feeling to positive about it. As for the HPT's... yes I caved. And then I went and bought some more. Just trying to see if the very faint line from the booster fades and then comes back. Just trying to drive myself crazy is more like it!! Not feeling very confident. :( I feel like I should know by now, or have symptoms at least.
Jenn - Take a look back at my old posts! I did not feel pregnant and I had given up most of my hope that I was pregnant. I have been pregnant 6 times before this and knew it each time, but this time I didn't. The hormones can really mess with your body, so don't trust it. Trust your heart's belief that it is happening. Good luck darling!

Sorry fulloffaith, as if the 2ww isn't long enough, I had to make that mistake...sorry! I got my faiths mixed up! I hope the next few weeks fly by for all of us, time seems to stand still when you are waiting for something this important.

Leapoffaith, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow as we both go in for the big news. Hope we both get that BFP we so want!
