Just dropping by to say well done Vicky on having a baby focussed w/e. You are very strong to do that - well done you. It is a good attitude and I hope it pays off for you - catching the vibe and all that! I know I certainly couldn't though. I decided not to go out last night - even though I knew the preggo friends weren't coming. JUst keeping myself to myself.

Robbo - HPT eh? Good luck to you and keep us posted. I am trying to stick to my guns and not buy one. If none in the house, can't do it!

Have good Sundays all. This 2nd week is going to be tough...

Well, I too gave in and did a HPT this morning....9dp3dt...BFN. I was completely shocked. I was trying so hard to be hopeful. I wasn't even going to tell DH that I did it, but I have just been crying like crazy all morning. I am also very crampy, AF pains with endo pains as well, so I know she is coming for real.
Will go ahead and go for bw on Wednesday, but not holding out hope.
Not sure if we will do this again. Will have a lot to do before hand if I do...need to have surgery to remove endo (can't do lap. as it is on my diaphram), plus have to have surgery to remove polyps. Not sure if it is worth it:(
Thanks for all your prayers.

Robbo, all hope is not yet lost. You tested early. HPTs are not very sensitive....what were you thinking messing with the evil thing!!!!! I'm not giving up until the blood work comes back. And I've been crampy this whole pregnancy, so that is not a true indicator. I know that you don't want people to blow air up your *ahem* bum, but honestly don't quit yet....I'm sorry if this is too positive---I know sometimes positivity can be like fingernails on a chalkboard at certain times! Just know that I'm still praying.....

Meg- thank you so much for being so positive. I really need that right now. I am trying to keep a little positive thought in the back of my mind. the negative keeps fighting forward though. I looked up the last time I did IVF (which was a +ve), and after my bw my beta was only a 40. From what I have seen from the othe woman, that is very low...so maybe, just maybe the HPT's can't pick up my pregnancy.
I still can't keep from crying. Mom called and I just cried for an hour and a half. She doesn't understand, as she is fertile myrtle. But at least she tries. She kept reminding me that at least I do have frozen embies.
Meg, again, thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. They mean a lot to me. BW on Wednesday...3 more days.

Robbo: oh girl. the evil, evil HPT (don't worry, I'm a sucker for them myself:). I am so sorry that you are in this situation... I know it is hell. Gotta agree w/Meg here... too early. D*mn if I don't still have hope for you. Like I have said before... not over 'til the fat lady sings, and my mouth is staying shut! Now... if it really is a BFN... then we will help you deal with that too. Fingers still crossed for you.

See... I just came up with a new theory... in the throes of my self-pity party a few days ago.... in order for me to be the pinnacle of "pitifulness" (a new Sassy word), ALL of you have to get preg and leave me alone here on the Stilettos thread. Yes, I actually woke up in the middle of the night thinking about this

. SO... in my quest for the ultimate justified self-pity party... I need your assistance. Meaning it is important that you get a BFP this time

Oh Robbo - the agony of the HPT - promise me now, NO MORE HPT's. It was too early - wait for the blood test.

Sassy, I promise I will never leave you alone the on stilletto thread ! Let's hope we will all be preggo blue stiletto wearing sistas one day. Did you cruise the bookshops at the w/e? - I am still loving that book I told you about - it is really helping me. (although I did lose it big time once with DH over the w/e - but he deserved it

) But now I am back to Zen.

So now I am 10p2dt - given it was an FET so no HCG injection (different for you Robbo you were fresh I think?) I could probably test but NO, NO, NO! My approach is going to be keep the fantasy alive for as long as possible.

Jeez - it's going to be a long week. Hopefully I can get stuck into things at work. I might give myself a day off on Friday (Test day). Aaaaghh! Have good Mondays sistas.

Hmmm...that may require some new scientific breakthrough(s).

Just a little gender joke.

watch it - you're dealing with highly hormonally charged women here and everything you say risks being taken the wrong way

Ha ha Ghost I get it...

Don't worry Sass I'm not going anywhere... I like this place too much...As for that lady on the other boards, what the???? Some people (in fact a lot of people) just don't get it. They should keep their damned mouths shut. I hope you open up a can on her in her in the near future if she continues with her carry on. Secretary update.... a quiet weekend....I'm sensing the beginning of the end of the office affair.... mind you we have a work dinner on Friday so, things might hot up if people get blotto enough. I will of course be nice and sober and will enjoy the spectacle (in a non creepy way of course).

Vicky hope your weekend full of babies wasn't too hard. I admire you for going to those functions though. I would usually pike out of them...Not long to go until test date, I'm starting to get anxious. I think it was Angie who said the second week would be hard. As I recall it that was the case for me. I'm hoping you are coping OK!
Thanks for your thoughts on MIL and FIL. DH is having a really hard time with it at the moment which is the worst part. I can only imagine as I would hate for my parents to get sick...

Robbo, am so sorry about the BFN on the HPT. I truly hope that Wednesday turns things around for you. Until then I will keep hoping on your behalf...I can understand you having second thoughts about doing this all again. It's hard enough having to do IVF anyway without having a long list of procedures to have before you can even get started...Bloody Hell (sorry, when lost for words I usually just swear. )

Angie, hang in there. Only about four days to go right??? Geez the second week sucks but congrats on not succumbing to the HPT. I fully support a day off on the test day, you damned well deserve it. And, nothing wrong with losing it at DH every once in a while, keeps em on their toes. I have had two tatrums this weekend both directed at DH. He also deserved them in my hormonal opinion....

Hello to all the other sisters, hope your weekends were excellent!

Fee

Angie65 · Post by **Angie65** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 7:01 am

I don't get it !!!!! Please explain someone - as well as making me hormonally charged, the pesky pessaries have taken away my brain cells and sense of humour.

Thanks for approving my day off Fee - I am going to book it right now.

FionaA · Post by **FionaA** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 7:21 am

Hi Angie, I missed your second post to ghost while I was writing. I must admit that I didn't understand it until he clarified and I did wonder....

HOWEVER. What I think Ghost was saying was in response to Sassy's concern that everyone would get preg and leave her alone on the boards... he was saying that it would take a scientific breakthrough for EVERYONE to get preg and leave because he is a bloke...That's my take on it and I'm sure Ghost will correct me if I'm wrong...

Don't worry about the hormones, I have had a complete sense of humour bypass this weekend. I threatened to hit my brother because I thought he was eating too loudly....wowsers everyoe copped it this weekend...

Enjoy the day off!
