December-January Cycle Buddy's Our New beginnings

[sassynlv]

Feeling well enought to catch up on a few personals...

Carolyn: Think the "sunny vacation" away for Christmas sounds like a fantastic idea...good time for just you and dh. Still pulling for you.

Tex: welcome to the board! And good luck on ET tomorrow! I had the same thing happen, RE said they don't like messin' w/the embryos until the last min...want to give them every chance. So i had to show up and get on the table before got the news. Luckily, i had 2 midgrade blasts...think i probably would have fallen apart if none made it. Everything crossed for you!

meg: glad to see you over here, there are a few of us "crossovers"! Looks like we will be "FET'ing" together next month.

ange: Welcome to the board! You will hopefully find lots of support here, esp during the dreaded 2ww. Glad to have you!

bec: wonderful news on ER!!! I'm w/you...whatever it takes to get those eggs! Looking forward to your ferts.

angie: wishing you all the luck in the world for tomorrow!

Sonya: Man, can't imagine how frustrating that must be for you!!! They had better salvage something good out of this... plus a free cycle! We pay WAY too much money to not have everything done correctly. Hoping for a good ER for you tomorrow.

Shawn: welcome to the group! We are a bit crazy (would have to be to do this over and over), but a supportive bunch! Normal to be nervous for your first time, but hopefully this can be a place where you can get some questions answered.

Well, ladies, i got my fert update...12 ferts! (of 14 mature) Very happy as it is 2x as many ferts as i have had before. Because the #s are much higher than before... we have decided to go straight into a FET next month instead of doing another (or two) fresh cycles as originally planned. Yipee!!! Still in lots of pain and confined to couch/recliner. Not as bad w/fireplace and christmas tree lights on, and dh waiting on me. Luckily i don't have to work until tuesday....

Sorry no more personals, i know i missed some..but pelvis can't take another minute of me sitting up....

Wishing you all the best!

Good Evening ladies!

On my dad we removed the ventilator yesterday and he still hanging on so when God decide and what he decides i am taking one day at the time,

On your answer Becleo- The scan went ok the lining went from 5cm to 7cm so i am off to start my progesterone tonight, everything else was ok so transfer still for Thursday Dec14 they will call me Tues to let me know what time, so if my dad keep hanging on may be is for a reason???

I will like to say Thanks to everyone that has post msgs.praying for my Dad and for my FET.... so will see what happen......

[hopeful-in-LV]

Hello everyone!

SSal,
I'm sorry about your dad. How hard it must be. I'm glad you decided to go on with your cycle. I know you will be just fine. You and your famiy are in my thoughts.

bec,
congrats on 14 eggs! another very good #!

Welcome, Tex, Ange and Shawn!

Hello again Meg, nice to see you here too. Seems like the Nov thread has slowed just a little now that most of us have past the 2ww.

Aunty,
What a great time you all must have had. Nothing like a good party to get in the holiday mood, huh? Too bad you couldn't do the prank. I was looking forward to hearing about how humiliated that poor guy would of been.

Carolyn,
I'm sorry your going throught this. (((hugs))) I'm still praying for a miracle. I think getting away for the holidays is a great idea. Pretending to be festive and joyous for others is not what you and DH need right now.

Sonya,
Good luck with EC! I really hope everything works out and you get all the good eggs you deserve. I hope your clinic goes above and beyond and makes their wrong a right.

Sassy,
Woohoo! You must be thrilled that you got so many embies and won't have to harvest more eggs. It's a miracle! Maybe we'll share the recovery room together next month. Maybe even share a due date!

[Angie65]

Hi Ladies - it's BFN for me unfortunately but was prepared so feeling OK. We'll definitely have another shot - question will be whether to do another fresh and keep the 3 frosties in reserve, or use up the frosties. Can't decide now. Will take some time out and get my head back to normality but I'll keep an eye on you all - thanks so much for all your support.

Carolyn - wishing you all the very best sweetie - please post as soon as you hear.

[lara312]

Angie i'm so sorry we are all here if you need us sending big hugs to you and dh .
Carolyn you have been through so much this year and its not quite over yet has some ladies do have lots of bleeding and are still preggie i am really praying and keeping everything crossed that its still a BFP its so good that you are planning ahead though (has a back up) you know we are all here for you if you need us sending big hugs to you and dh .
Wil catch up more later sending hugs to everyone
love Rachel x x

[Haylie]

Ange- am so sorry for you, life is so unfair but please don't give up you will get there. Sending you and dh big hugs. Take care of yourself

Ssalgado - my heart goes out to you, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Shantala - that's great news about dh's results, I bet you are so pleased!

Sonya- good luck with ec today hope they get lots of lovely eggs

Tex - good luck with et will be thinking of you

bec - 14 eggs is fantastic wey hey

sassynlv - 12 embies woo hoo way to go bring your bfp!!

Carolyn - how are you honey? Please don't give up yet am praying you get your bfp you so deserve it, you are such a sweet lady. Hang on in there.

X factor was fab , can't believe Ben went out thought he was fab. I can't wait for the final now am not going to know what to do with myself when it ends!!

Aunty - sounds like a fab party! I agree about the length of time it takes to get over a good time. There was a time when I could continue to drink the following day not now!! Anywa as long as you enjoyed it that's all that matters! What will we be like by the time we are 50?

Rachel - has the lovely af shown hr ugly head yet? Mine has finally arrived I was beginning to think that maybe a miracle had happened!! No such luck, Anyway she is here so I know start down regging on 31st Dec and hopefull have et wk beginning 29th Jan.

Anyway have a good day all

Hxxx

Angie i am so sorry. Sending hugs to you and your D/H. It is good that you are remaining positive. That was the way I went as it stopped me going to pieces. This is a hard thing that we have to do and we must keep strong to achieve our dreams. Take care and best of luck in what you decide to do.

[ssalgado]

Good Morning!

Angie so sorry about the results , but keep going.


HAylie and Hopeful thanks for the thoughts and the support i really need that right now, my Dad still hanging on so will see.

Thank you ladies....

[tcbalgord]

Tex and Sonya, good luck ladies I am pulling for you both today!

Angie, sweetie I am so sorry for you and dh. Sending big hugs to you both.

I don't have much for today as I plan to go to Abby's school and volunteer to help with her birthday treat, then I am spending the day in bed. The video game I have been waiting a year for is due out today so I am going to play and get my mind off all of this techno sex for awhile.

Aunty, sweetie the board looks so fab.

Love to all and loads of sticky baby dust

[Macca8]

Hi Ladies,

There is so much going on I just can't keep up. This must be the busiest cycle ever.

Sorry to read your post Angie. Really hoped you would get BFP.

Carolyn, I'm still keeping fingers crossed for you honey.

Aunty, would you mind updating my start date please. I start down regulation on the 22nd December. Thanks honey. You are right behind me. When we have our babies next year I will meet you in Bloomingdales where we can treat our newborns and us mummies to something nice. Unless of course I win lottery then we will both be shopping in SACS on 5th.

Welcome to all the newcomers. This is a great site and best thread to be with on your difficult journey.

Mia, Hope you are resting on your 2WW.

Best of luck to everyone,

Lisa XXX
