Hey ladies,
Vlada - huge hugs to you whatever your results are. I had the exact same thing. Hpts were neg before the bt and had alwasy been positive with prior pregnancies. I am already getting ready to cycle again. I used to live in Kirkland and miss walking to the Pancake House and the totally miss Bellvue Square. Odd, since I have Beverly Hills arond the corner, but it is more comfortable in NW. Let us know how you do tomorrow. Even though I felt I knew it was a negative, I had more trouble after hearing the final results. I'm not saying the hpts are always right, but I know how you feel going into the blood test. Whatever you're results are, we are here for you. Saying special prayers for you tonight.
Jessica - I don't want to brag or anuthing, but didn't I call twins pretty darn early!!! You go girl. I'm gonna be right behind you with twins as well. I'm OK with boy girl or girl girl. I've given dh's sperm strict instructions
How are you feeling? My freind just had twins with her 2nd cycle and they are the cutest little things I've ever seen. Do a round at Bellvue Square for me
Vicky - I also felt homeless. I feel really at home at our April thread and don['t know the girls well at the May/June thread. I'm only a couple weeks ahead of you. Susan is also doing a FET and I'm also getting ready to start round 2. We can cont our thread as long as we want to. I so understand the up and downs (more downs) after the bfn. It hit me really hard this time. I kept coming home and going straight ot bed for a week. (not like me at all) I am just now really starting to feel hopdful again. I start down regging in a week and the RE was very enthusiastic at todays US. It's hard to keep positive all the time and not a normal response to the major dissapointment we go through with all this turmoil. We'll get there. We're just taking the "scenic route". You sound like me getting right back on that darn horse. We're going to get there and then we can have our thread on the other side
with Donna and Jessica and all our other wonderful bfps.
Christine - Give your belly some special rubs from me and spread that babydust girl!! It was sadly familiar to read your post. My dh and i also had so many mc's that the bfp doesnt' really start until after week 10. Our first mc was 9 weeks. We held our breath for every US. You'll feel so much better after seeing that beautiful heart beating away. Sending you wonderful prayers to your precious baby/babies. Boy, did my hips hurt after 12 weeks of Progesterone IM. But it was worth it. (I also bougth a mini sono to hear the heart beat at home when I was worried and had bleeding from week 6-9. Baby was fine, but nothing made me happier than hearing that little heart beat).
Susan - Sending you special sticky vibes and some wonderful California sunshine for your precious little frosties! It is amazing here today 90'!! Amazing how fast time flies. Here we are ready for another transfer! I'm so glad to be posting back on our thread. I was hit really hard by this last neg and hadn't had such trouble before. We are feeling very hopeful again and really excitied to start again. I'm so relieved to feel hope again.
Jovigal - I'm holding my breath until we hear about ER. I'm sending all the positive vibes and prayers I possibly can. You'll get that golden egg. And maybe even a spare or 2
Tanu - I have 2 words for you - TWINS or TRIPLETS!!! WOW! How many did you transfer?? Send those multiples vibes my way please
How are you feeling?
Smartie - sticky sticky sticky!! How are you doing?
Well I saw the RE and thought of you Jovigal and Susan! I tried my best ot ask alot of questions and bring up my lovely fsh of 13 etc. and prior cycles. He feels really confident of my response being better iwth the long protocol. Also we talked about how my estrogen jumped above 500 at start and then pooped out before the end and the mediocre egg quality. He thinks I'm not hte poor responder people have been calling me (ther's a first!) and that the flare was too much of a shock to my system and that some eggs do better with a slow well controlled cycle. There is good literature to support that. He will also supplement with estrogen this way and can't do that witout doing a lupron long sycle. He did a sono and my lining has not adhesions. So thankful for that after my septectomy. I've researched the @$%$#@ out of these long vs short protocols and feel very good about this plan. I am now ready to let go and let him do the cycle. This is hard for me to do being a MD. But, I feel I've done my best and need to start letting him do the rest. It's hard to let go when I have access to all the med journals and am a just a wee bit OCD (I'm using a sarcastic tone here by the way
). I also got him to check my DHEA-s level to see if I should cont the supplement or not. And I've been taking a bit of Arginine along with acupuncture. Heck, I'll lick cement if it's not harmful and might lend a touch of support for a bfp. Can you imagine a man doing what we do????
Off to watch Heros. Dh has already started!!
Hugs to you all
xoxo
