MARCH-CYCLE BUDDIES

[smattison]

I hope everyone is having a nice evening and having a lot of baby thoughts...Baby dust for everyone

[MamaCardenas]

Smattison- I can totally relate I thought after the transfer I would feel great but more then anything I feel sad and unsure of things, we just have to hang in there because if I do find out it’s a BFP Im going to feel really guilty for being so sad and so down on my babies =) I guess we have to put some hope into the babies that they will pull through, if they don’t have our support what do they have right!!! I don’t think it will hurt to ask your Dr and if it’s too soon they will tell you that!! So I would ask for sure it would feel so much better to know when you have to be around to pregnant women!! I don’t think 12days is too soon but hey what do I know if It was up to me I’d test on day 1 lol!!! Stay strong I will be thinking of you, and if you cant test before the prego’s come to visit just keep thinking BFP and in your mind know you are pregnant too!! =) good luck

[nimble]

Sonya / Jill - I'm so sorry you have no snow babies but hey you shouldn't need them this time !!! PMA PMA

Stephanie - uumm a difficult one about knowning before SIL arrive - personally I think I would rather not know but thats me, just because if it isn't good news (and don't get me wrong - I'm full of positive vibes for you) then you have to spend time with your pg SILs however also see the other side of the coin where when you get yr BFP you can join in - sorry not much help!!

back later

Stephanie: I guess for me I would ask to be tested early just so I knew and then be able to deal with the situation. I am sure it will be BFP but if not you can tell your family and then will be aware of how sensetive the situation is.

Good Luck Sweetie
Sonya

Stephanie- that’s a tough one for you, personally I would rather not know until after my SIL have left, that way I can be positive and talk about my little one’s, I really don’t think I would want them around if I got BFN, not an easy one sorry honey, but its also something you don’t need the stress over at this moment in time, you do what ever feels right for you.

Jill, Sonya – I’m so sorry that you haven’t got any snow babies, I totally know how you feel, I was the same so excited when we got 9 fert, but on ET day when they told us we only had 3 that had made it to day 5 I just wanted to cry, even more so when they said they wouldn’t freeze the remaining little one, I sobbed to DH for about an hour after wards, but like he reassured me we won’t need another go just yet, and neither will you two, lots of PMA and lets get those well deserved BFP.

Mrs B – so sorry to hear about what happened it must have been so scary to see a lot of blood at your stage, so glad everything is ok, you rest lots now honey, thinking of you.

Mama – thanks for the reassurance, I was really starting to stress myself and poor DH out, I just want some sort of sign to know that they are still in there somewhere. The clinic told me to be a sofa bum for the first 2 days do absolutely nothing and then just take it easy for the rest of the week, it was me own GP that signed me off work for 10 days, he is a real lovely man and said that I should try it as in all the other cycles I have gone straight back to work the day after ET. I’ve not stayed in bed at all but on the sofa, today is the first day SIL and DH has unwrapped the cotton wool and I have ventured to the local shop wooooooo!!!! Hope your doing ok on this horrid 2ww; its sooooo hard isn’t it.

Nicki – don’t stress yourself out over OHSS honey, your clinic will look after you, I had a mild case on my last cycle, and the really did monitor me closely on this one, just drink lots, my clinic recommended 3 litre on top of my normal daily in take, which was hard to do believe me. 17 follies is wonderful mate you’re a right little egg-making machine.

Quita – you have been making me laugh with the quotes from your book, thank good I haven’t got to wait 2 months, 2 weeks is bad enough.

Nerms – how are you honey???? Not long now one more sleep I’m getting so excited for you. BFP BFP BFP.

Marcia – glad your trigger shot went ok, good luck for your EC, looking forward to hearing your numbers, hope you get lots of good eggies that make lovely little embies. Good luck mate.

Rae – glad your trip went ok even if it was a little rough, helicopter ride wow that must have been amazing. How is the little one doing?? Any bump yet??

Anie – how you doing honey? Any more news on your little ones??

Nimble – my fellow 2ww how you doing sweetie??? Over the half way mark now mate not long to go, I don’t go back to work until the 11th so I have plenty of time on my hands to sit and ponder over everything and all sorts of silly things are going through my mind. I can’t remember if I felt anything or not last time either, yesterday was a bad day for me I was on a right downer all day so negative it was unreal, I spent most of it crying softly to myself, nothing DH or SIL said or done made me feel any better. Today though I’m as bright as a button and full of PMA again, so lots of PMA vibes coming your way, and lots and lots of sticky baby dust, cos we will have that longed for BFP, and will be holding our little bundles of joy on Christmas day 2007.


hi to all i have missed

good luck 2ww'ers

PS sorry for the long post!!!

[pep23]

Hi girls!! I'm back from Florida and determined to catch up on everybody's news so I apologize in advance for the mega post but you all have been busy this past week!!! I can't believe all the 2ww girls! VERY exciting!!!

Kia- Sounds like you are surviving the 2ww. I know it's soooo easy to overanalyze things so hopefully you are trying to avoid that. I know on my 2ww I had days where I was sure it worked and days when I thought it didn't. It's such a rollercoaster. But keep up the PMA. You're almost there!

Sonya- You and Kia have the same test day how great! Sorry none of your embies made it to freeze but like you said, you won't need them because this cycle will be the one!! How are you feeling so far? Staying busy I hope? Bring on that BFP!

Natalie- You have a great attitude!! You are right that you have to stay positive for your babies!! My DH and I would say good night to ours every night and sometimes sing little songs urging them to grow. Silly I know but it made me feel like something was going on in there and we were cheering them right along!

Stephanie- That is a hard situation to be in. I had to spend a week at Christmas with my pregnant sil and all she did the whole time was complain about being pregnant. This was right before DH and I were getting ready to start IVF so I was biting my tongue the whole time. Your situation is different though because even though until you get your official BFP it's still hard to be around pregos you can keep telling yourself the whole weekend that you ARE pregnant!!! If it were me I would wait until they leave to find out for sure. But I know how hard the waiting is. I only have to wait 9 days to test and that was torture. I'm sure if you really wanted to test on day 12 they would let you. Best of luck with whatever you decide sweetie!!

Marcia- EC tomorrow right? Very exciting! I hope you get lots of great eggies and a wonderful Easter fert report!

Jill- Hopefully you can stay away from the evil HPT! Not too much longer to go so hang in there! I bet you are glad to be off of bed rest now. That can get very boring!!

Amanda- Congrats on your BFP!!! That's awesome! I hope your numbers are right where you want them to be today!!

Anie- I hope you get your wish and get an Easter Sunday transfer. Grow embies grow!!

Rae- Sorry to hear about your bumpy ride but how awesome that you got a helicopter ride!! And the Bellagio…I'm so jealous! My Dh is going to Vegas for a conference in May and staying there. We originally were planning that I would go with him but now that we're saving up for the baby we decided maybe this wasn't the best year to go. I'm definitely ok with that. Couldn't' ask for a better reason to stay home! Your latest scan sounds amazing!! I can't wait until we get to that stage but still quite a few weeks to go!!

Nimble- How are you?? I'm so excited for you that test day is right around the corner. I just know that you will get a BFP so don't be scared of a blank window on the pee stick. Everything will be just perfect! PMA!

Nicki- You are quite the follie making machine! LMAO about the Willy Wonka girl…I think her name is Violet??

Melly- Great follie scan for you as well!! Be sure to drink plenty of water!!

Cookholmes- Congrats to you!!!! So excited for you sweetie!

Mrs. B- So sorry I'm just now reading your news but I'm so happy to hear that everything is alright. I'm sure that was quite a scare. I'm praying that your little twin hangs on. Best of luck to you on the 10th!!

Quita- LMAO about your quote from the guide to motherhood. Ciggies and gin ok but back off the curry. Hahahaha. How backwards is that! I'm just like you counting down to each weekend to tick off a milestone. I'll be 6 weeks on Sunday and I so wish it was 12 weeks. It's amazing how the waiting never stops even after the BFP! When is your first scan again?

Nerms- One more day until your BFP! So excited for you hon!

Well, as for me, things are going well. The past few days I've been nauseas and I'm really tired but I don't mind because it makes me feel like it's really happening. I went in for a final blood test yesterday. They wanted to see my numbers at or close to 4,000….I was at 6,896!!!!!! My DH is convinced it's twins but I'm not so sure. It's still so hard to believe I'm really pregnant that thinking about two little ones in there is crazy! I'm so excited for our scan next week to find out. The suspense is almost as hard as the 2ww.

Speaking of the 2ww, I am praying that all of you 2ww girls are blessed with BFPs!!!! It should be an exciting few weeks coming up!

XO
Steph

[nerms]

Hi ladies...thank you all for your messages of good luck...sorry warning in advance this is going to be a totally selfish post...firstly sorry i have been MIA for the last week or so, this 2ww is murderous...one min you feel ok and the next down in the dumps..anyway I'm meant to test tmw, over the last few days i was getting some pretty positive signs...felt a bit light headed, sore boobs and no bleeding, that was until this morning...it started off as very light pinky brown discharge/bleeding, and over the day it's been quite light...brown spotting, just a few mins ago it is a little more red, but there isn't that much of it..i am really worried, to top it off, i've managed to get a cold and have a sore throat and feel miserable! Has anyone had bleeding this late and still got a BFP? I am trying to stay positive, it's just now seeing it look a little more red than i would like really!..sorry if it's all TMI!

Wishing all of you other ladies good luck and sending baby dust to you all...

a very worried..
Nerms

[pep23]

Nerms-
Sorry to hear you are having a hard time lately. Chin up sweetie!! I had spotting AFTER my BFP and actually just had some more a few days ago and everything with me is still going great. So it doesn't mean it's a bad sign.

Are you taking the progesterone supposatories? I know my RE told me that those can something cause bleeding and it's normal. Just a thought...

Hang in there! Just one more sleep!!

Praying hard for you....

XO
Steph

[rae76]

Sha, sorry to hear that you had bad day yesterday but luckily you have your ups too! It must be such a rollercoaster ride - and hey, once you get your BFP that gift will just keep on giving.... From cloud nine to the deepest recesses of despair and back again - in about two seconds Hang in there sweetie and keep that mental image of a Xmas baby on your mind!!!!

And yes, I finally have a little bump! That's so exciting!

Nerms, testing so soon.... I'm eagerly waiting for your news and sending you baby dust galore!!!! About your question - well, as you know we didn't do IVF in the end but even I did have some spotting (some of it red too) around the time my period was supposed to come... and ended up with a BFP. So it can happen even in a natural pregnancy and with IVF it's much more common, so nothing is lost yet sweetie!!! The bleeding/spotting can of course mean a number of things, but there's no reason for despair just yet, it can happen!!! I have my fingers crossed for you!

Steph, congratulations on your wonderful numbers!!! That must have put your mind to ease a little bit (although I guess this whole being nervous thing is supposed to get us ready for the responsibilities of motherhood....) Hopefully your nausea won't get too bad and I cannot wait to hear about your scan next week!

You're right, Bellagio is really great... We've stayed there before so it's hard to downgrade now, although I guess we should start saving up for the baby as well. But then again, we really needed this vacation BTW, I was reading elsewhere about these prego ladies making plans for their babies, nurseries etc, and I realized I don't even know yet where I'm going to give birth! And by this I don't mean the hospital but the country That's actually pretty scary.

[Quita]

Nimble, not much longer! PMA PMA PMA BFP

Rae that tjurney sounds horrific, but a helicopter ride how fantastic glad it all turned out good in the end.

Anie that all sounds good xx

Sonya none of my remaining ones could be froozen either. But I can't decide if its a blessing in disguise.

Steph I stupidly thought it would be easy once I got my HPT BFP but like you I am still waiting and hoping, but smiling. I'll be 5 weeks on Saturday!!! My scan is not till the 26th, ages away! x

Nerms I had spotting from day 8-10 of the wait and then I tested poitive on the 12 day then I had more spotting on the 15 day after ET. It doesn't necessarly mean anything bad. I think it can be implantation blood.xxx

[nimble]

nerms - hold in there hun, one more day. Spotting and even light bleeding has been known and BFPs have happened - hard as it may be try and keep positive for one more sleep - praying so hard for you sweetie.

Steph - welcome back - we've missed you and Rae - Was florida lovely and relaxing?? Wow those numbers look good - possibly our first set of twins on the march thread???

Rae - ouch bad road so glad that you're back so i guess you didn't win your fortune in vegas then? Hows lil beanie??

Sha - hey hate to think of you being on a downer but so can understand - being at work stops me from thinking about it constantly which i think is a blessing.
But glad you're feeling like a button today LOL not long for us is there - gee next week is going to be a busy week!

Barbs - hey how are the pills going - did you start ok ? As for the pressie's, it seems that girls get different side effects - I'm not on them this time (yeah!!) and now I'm not sure if my side effects were from being pg or the pressies!

Nicky - hope you're downing that water

Well the good news is that I'm now off work until test day just need to keep busy and positive!! Having quite a few period like pains today and dread going to the loo - so far so good.

being kicked off by hubby so shall be back later

[nerms]

Hi my dear friends...

Thank you all soooooo much for your reassuring words...i truly feel touched and lucky to have this site...just feel bad that i've stayed away for so long. I feel much better now...still getting a bit of bleeding but as Quita says...PMA PMA PMA BFP!!!!!!!

Well it's time for personals...so watch out for a mega post!!!

Nimble... Thank you sweetie for your positive words and all your prayers. You're over the half way mark now...not long to go...what have you planned for the long weekend? As for discharge, since you mentioned it I have been noticing over the last few days i have been getting a little...very little and that is before i put the pessarie in...after pessarie there is discharge, but that is to be expected i think. How are you getting on...any symptoms yet?

Karma...so sorry to hear about your BFN...praying for you sweetie.

Steph (pep) ..welcome back! Sounds like you've had a fab time...and what great numbers!! Thanks for starting the thread...to be honest i wasn't sure if i wanted one (had a quiet word with nimble) but now that i see it I feel really touched..thankyou!

Shantala...hi sweetie...where are you hiding? Any news on your job?

Nicky...17 follies..that's pretty amazing hey...and you still have a few more days of stimming to do..keep drinking lots of water...as you know it helps with ohss...which hopefully you won't get, be prepared though my clinic said 3 litres of water after EC btw..loved the pic of the house!

Amanda..congrats again!!

Rae...welcome back and thanks for your words of support...and wow is all i can say to a helicopter ride over the grand canyon...you deserve it, you have been through a lot of worrying...now hopefully you can sit back a little and enjoy the rest of your preganancy...so did you get a scan picture..did baby look quite clear on it...love to see it if you wanted to post it!

Quita...Congrats on your BFP darling! I've been reading about you and Chvonne...so great how you both got BFP's and can share the experience together! Congrats to you too Chvonne! BTW...love the stories from your mother's maternity book...2 months for a result... i can't even begin to imagine!

Kia..i so hear you!!! One minute up and one minute down!!! I have been to the loo every hour to check progress...the whole thing plays with your emotions...please lord give us all bfp's!!

Cookholmes..wow...twims maybe!!! That's great news...keep up the good work embies!!

Sonya...i was following you all the way...was pleased with your news so firstly congrats on placing two beautiful blastocysts back into mummy where they belong!! Great pictures...praying hard they give you the BFP you deserve, as for not getting snow babies...i'm sorry you didn't get the news you wished for..but hopefully you know you won't need them and you'll get twins!!!

Anie...that's fantastic numbers...praying embies make it to day 5 going nice and strong!

Stephanie...what a crap situation to be in! But I think for now focus on bringing your babies back home..i think it would be worth checking with doc if they can test early..but then again you can sometimes get false results and all of it can really play with your mind..i think wait till after they leave...at least that way hopefully they will be senstive to you and hopeful. Praying for a BFP!!!!

Fijibabie...congrats on everything going well with the donor...that's brill news..i can't comment on the estradial, because i haven't had any...but definately the the pessaries...YUK is all i can say...but then again i would do anything to have a little mini me and dh in my arms...so what's a few pessaries hey!

Marcia...so tomorrow is a big day for both of us...very impressive follie numbers and nice to hear you sounding more hopeful...praying you gets lots of lovely mature eggs!

Mama...great attitude...so sweet how you think for your babies already..was feeling a little low this morning...and thought of you...made me force myself to be positive...that and Quita's chanting of course PMA PMA PMA BFP!

Sher8...how are you...how did your transfer go?

Miss Piggy...how you getting on your 2ww? Hard hey??

Jill...Congrats on your ET!! I know it was a few days ago...but i haven't posted in a while! Praying for a strong BFP for you! Not too long to go now! How are yo feeling?

Mrs B...glad to hear numbers are doing well...hope there are no more scares for you..what an ardeal..muts have been very scary...keep your feet up (and crossed )

Melly...congrats on all those follies...and only day 3...as long as you RE isn't worried...you just keep on smiling...grow follies grow!

[smattison]

Well I am PUPO now and loving every minute of it. Dh is here and taking very good care of me. I had 2 good eggs and 1 average egg. They did assisted egg hatching, so my little guys will have a better chance of hatching out and attaching to my lining. Lining good great and we got to see them ut the babys back on a sonogram! So that means triplets...LOL OK maybe twins... Hope you are all well and sucking up all the baby dust in the air!!!

I will do personals later I need to rest!!!

[sokru8]

I was feeling sorry for myself today wondering what I will do if I am not pregnant. It is just something that I want so much I ache... But then I watched the news and saw the funeral of a police officer in my city.

Two officers were shot in the back and killed this weekend....One of the wives of the men that were killed is 7months pregnant. When I saw her tears just streamed down my face. I can't imagine life without my husband especially expecting a new baby... It makes me realized how truly blessed we all are to have our husbands/partner by our sides. I know that my life is wondeful and I would love to share that with a child if that is in gods plan for us. But I also know that I have an awesome life with a wonderful husband.

Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you all! Take the time and tell your husband how greatful you are to have them here!

XOXO
Sonya
