Patie.....congratulations!!!!!!, that is so amazing!!. I love that picture!!!. Send the other ones when you get them so we can take a better look of your great design!!!.
Nickster.....wow, your SIL is an amazing woman, not a lot of people offer themselves for something like that!. And as the other sisters said, she knows what she is going for, so don't worry about that!!. Also, about your progesterone reaction, why don't you try using the progesterone shots in a "trial cycle" before starting the real one, so you don't "waste" your embryos in case you have some sort of reaction, I am not sure if this is possible but ask your RE about it, it could be a possibility.
Mel.....congrats on AF showing early!!!. It is so great that you were finally given some answers, even when you knew most of them, but at least now you have a goal and you know what you are looking for. I am in Florida too, as you well know, but I don't pay $20,000/cycle, here they charge you something like $10,000 + meds (around $1,000-3,000). Also find out about the Shared Risk program, that is what I am doing, it is a program where you pay the cost of more or less 2 cycles (around $20,000) but they give you the option to do 3 fresh cycles + 3 FET, all for that price, until you get pregnant, once you get pregnant the program ends no matter how many cycles you did. If you get pregnant on the first try then you paid more for it, but if you don't then you are saving a lot of money. Not all the clinics offer it, ask them about it.
Sassy.....so Mr. Sassy is driving you crazy with the adoption issue, that is not fair, although I am happy that his last word was a positive one, but this is a very delicate issue for a woman, being able to have a kid is a very important issue in one's life, so I totally understand you, don't feel selfish, you are not being selfish at all, if anyone is being selfish I would say it is him, I hope you don't take it the wrong way, I am not trying to be mean with your DH at all, I just want you both to be able to reach an agreement and finally be able to have your baby (with or without your DNA it is the same), we all know what having a baby means to all of us, so be sure that we are all here to support you whichever path you decide to go.....
Angie...so good to hear back from you!!. I am glad you decided to start again, we will all be with you in this journey, I hope this is the one for you!!. For now lets concentrate is AF showing up!!!!. Let me know if you need the work of underworld Vicky to have AF show up

Fee....sorry to ask I don't remember, did you have your scan yet or not???, didn't you have one in these days??.
Well, I am still on the estrogen patches, now I found a way to remove the stickyness, the nurse told me to use nail polish remover, that seems to be working fine...I am starting to get scared about the cycle, now that the day of ET is aproaching I am starting to have dreams about me getting pregnant and when I wake up I am so scared that all this may end up just in that, just being a dream, oh well, I guess is part of this emotional rollercoaster.....Of course I also have fears that I will have a BFP, get my hopes really high and then end up in another m/c like the last time, I am not sure that I could go through that again, is so emotionally draining.....I am starting to get all this mood swings, the other day, after reading Sassy's post about your shopping I decided to go shopping myself to see if I would feel better, but I tried a lot of things and suddenly I started feeling that I gained so much weight, I suddenly felt a cow, and it was 9pm and I called and left a message to the IVF nurse to see if I could start a diet during my cycle



Hope you are all doing well........
