Shantala - I am sorry you are disappointed but like the ladies say it only takes one and it's quality not quantity! :wink: Keeping my fingers crossed that your DH's swimmers do their thing and you have a great fert rate!

Rachel - sorry you are not well - I hope you feel better soon LOL.

Ange - hope you have had some good news today!!!

Aunty - LMAO - I can just picture you banging your boots and the door falling off! I find denial a big help too - it's not just a river in Egypt you know!

Susette... man was I stressed, thanks for your positive thoughts!

Aunty.... I cracked up when you mentioned that you shook snow off your boots and the door fell off and window fell out. OMG, that must've been too funny, not for the people selling the house of course. I remember reading in a newspaper all the words real estate agents use and what they 'really' mean.

Arizona.. I was so ready to plead IVF defense when I finally spoke to my dr. today. He called at 12:30!!! So true, it's just a job to them, but it's our whole life and we are always waiting for confirmation on something.

Cinny... go luck on your beta today and I pray you get your results promptly! I wouldn't wish this past weekend on anyone.

Shantala... good job on ER! I know you can't help but feel disappointed when you hear 15 follies and then only a percentage of that matured. Keep the faith, it only takes one and you have a great chance of all 5 fertilizing. Keep us posted tomorrow as soon as you know. ((((((hugs)))))))

Rachel..hope your migraine feels better!

My update.... I did not slap my dr. although I was tempted to jump through the phone and strangle him and then of course plead IVF defense. He called at 12:30 and my beta was 614 which he said is right on target. I was hoping for something higher but he said it's the trend that's important and I'm on the money. I guess it must be o.k. because, no more beta's. My ultrasound is scheduled for 3/17.

Time to try and focus on work for now.

hugs,

Shantala, sorry to hear the news, but everyone is right. It only takes one. Just look at ANGE, her situation. She ended up with two, and is preggo! You'll do great. Let us know as soon as ET is over.

ANGE: Your beta sounds great. Looking forward to that ultra sound girl. I'm watching you. :shock: Waiting for those pics!

Auntie, good to hear from you. I cracked up at your story.


As for me, I'm hanging on. I still have a few weeks, but I'm ready. I lost another two lbs, and hope to lose a couple more, as I have a few weeks left. I'm hoping all the struggle to lose the weight helps out with them being able to get to that right ovary. She says sometimes a weight change can move the ovary to where they can get to it better, either up or down. Just so it's not hiding behind those big fat ugly blood vessels. I've been doing weight watchers online since last week. Before I was kind of just doing things myself and watching what i eat. Maybe I wasnt tracking good enough, cause I'm having better results with ww online. You type in everything you eat, and it counts it all for you. I lost two lbs my first week. We'll see how it goes. The weight wasn't moving much before if you all remember. Now, I really need AF to come so I can start BC pills. I'm scared it wont come before the April cycle. EEK! That would be a disaster. Does anyone know how long it takes for you to get it after a D&C?

Too funny Ange...IVF defense. I am happy that u finally got ur beta and that all is well.

Speaking of betas, I just called and got an update...1510. So hopefully no more beta tests. The next hurdle is the u/s on Thurs. I think I am going to be on pins and needles until then. Please keep me in ur prayers!

Hey ladies,

Looks like spotting might finally stop in the next hours! woohoo!

Shantala: I'm really sorry that the EC first gave you that big number and as many hopes and then decreased it two third. :( It's better that you knew right away, though... imagine the shock if you had waited for the fert rate call thinking you had 15 mature eggs! Think about what my doc said, though... the average woman can expect only 50% of her retrieved eggs to be mature. Even if you didn't have a high maturity rate, the next stages could be completely different. You could still have a very high fert rate after all; just as you could have had 15 mature eggs and only a couple ferts, too. I know this is very nerve wraking, and I know having frozen embies gives you some kind of backup that makes the process feel even more worth it, but do remember that it's not over till it's over. It does only take one to do the trick, or even two if you're aiming for twins. Hang in there sweetie, watch TV, read, cuddle, and reward yourself. You've been through a lot so far for these embies, and you did everything you could. It's out of your hands for now. How is the pain hunny? I hope it's not too bad... keep us posted, and I'll send you tons of vibes. Divide and conquer, little embies! :D

Druiett: so sorry, I only saw your post today. I'm very sorry about your loss... it must be a very strange feeling, being happy and sad at the same time. Fortunately, one little fighter remains! I hope that's the only scare you'll get and that the rest goes very smoothly.

Ange: sorry about the wait! But the news is good! :D You're doing it girl! *hugs*

Okay, gotta run... very hectic day for me.. bwl... :)

Take care ladies!

Morning Ladies :D

Aunty: You - a snob! Yeah right lol. From the sound of it, my face would have been a picture too lol. I have an estate agent comming up today to value our house, as we have seen a site that we are VERY interested in, to bulid our own house, its in the country (not far from where i am at the moment) but to have 1 acres of our own plot, in the middle of a field with beautiful views - fingers crossed! But i wont run away with myself as i usually do (ive seen a beautiful wooden porch that i'd like, I must have a utility room, it has to be south facing, for the sun and our BBQ's in the summer) opps! I said no running away with myself LOL.... Its in my nature, i cant help it lol. Good luck with the house hunting Aunty, i know where ur comming from :wink:

Shant: Its 8.30am here and im not in work, so will expect news by about 11ish (i'll give u time to stop jumping about the living room and calm ur excited self down to log on an let us know ur great news) :D Im praying hard for u hun, i hope u had a good nights sleep - i found last time that this was the worst time for me - as i only had 2 eggs i started to panic and think that i'd have nothing - and the minutes ticked by SOOOOOO slowly! DH had gone to work, it was torture - but like i said - we had 2 out of 2 - i cried when my embisitter rung me and told me - just as im sure u will too (for the right reasons) Let me know as soon as u can OK. Thinking of you xxxxx :D

BWHD: Well done on the weight loss. I know how hard it is to loose weight, ive tried it enough times lol. I re-joined Slimming World 2 weeks ago (i didnt tell u ladies, cos i didnt want everyone to say - oh gawd here she goes again lol) i only lost 1lbs on my first week, but AF had arrived the day i went to weigh, this week ive lost 3lbs. I think its great that you have summit to stick to and follow online, its so much easier dont u think? Good Luck with it hun - i now u can do it :D

Soph: Glad AF is finally stopping for you - she's a ***** isnt she. When are u jetting off on ur honeymoon?

Ange: Your beta sounds great :D :x to the DR who kept u waiting tho! Does he have no sense than to keep a lady waiting. Glad its what u wanted to hear, roll on ur U/S :D

Rachel: Hope ur felling better soon hun, i hate getting migraines, i usually get tunnel vision with mine, very very frightening!

Well thats it for now from me ladies, i will be keeping an eye on this site to hear ur news Shantala, im off to clean before the estate agent gets here :wink:

Love to all.....
