neffi- we were posting at the same time! I am going to my dad's for superbowl since we are huge patriots fans! He raised me as one and I have bled patriots ever since. Actually, the only baby outfit I currently own is a patriots sweatsuit, and it will be worn by boy or girl. I can't wait to buy little baby jerseys or cheerleading outfits. GO PATS!

Esperanza- you are even closer to pats country than I am, so I know you must be doing something fun!

Esperanza- did you talk to your RE yet. How long of a break do we need to have before FET?
Hi girl! I know exactly how you feel. I'm soooooo sorry :cry:

I actually just got my medicines today for my FET. I was pissed yesterday when I was talking to the pharmacy people over the phone, I kept thinking "why am I doing this again?" but after crying for a little bit, I came back to my positive light and remembered that I am doing this because DH and I deserve to become parents, and ARE going to become parents.

In any case, to respond to your question, my nurse told me to wait for AF to come (which did about 2.5 days after my official bfn), let it do its thing, and wait for next AF (end of February), we will work with that cycle. She said that the transfer will be 19 days after AF comes, so I am thinking that it will be mid March. I'm excited, nervous, and still sad from this failed IVF. My plan is to be more "aggressive" this time. I'm going to go back to accupuncture (which I didn't do with my IVF cycle, but that I used to do about a year ago), AND I'm going to see another DR who specializes in natural medicine to get my body ready for the pregnancy.

About the meds, I didn't get as many as the first time, so I am happy about that, I'm looking forward to not have to do stims and feeling like my belly is about to burst.

In the meantime, cry, take care of yourself, and then come back up and join me in the FET ride:

Girls, thank you for your support. You are lovely.

As today's official BFN'er, I have found 3 positives of BFN:

1) no more painful shots (at least for a while)
2) chocolate! tons of it, YUM YUM YUM I made it myself, one whole pot (small though)
3) and hot, wild sex with DH :) (BTW, how long after BFP can you have sex?)

4th one is positive too, but I dont care about it that much: wine with dinner :) (hellokitty, I had a sip for you)

Esperanza- I talked to my nurse today, and she thinks I could do it in April the earliest (not in March :(), but I am meeting with RE on Wed, so will find out more.

Again, thank you for all your hugs and support. I will stick around.

Unexplained: Good to see that you are finding the postive side of things. I am like that too, always finding the silver lining. It just tells me that you are a very strong and courageous woman and that your fight has only just begun. You will get your BFP ...sometimes it just take the best of us a little longer than the rest. Keep that PMA girl! It is how you will win the fight! :D

Morning Ladies--

I am a little down this morning. I did it....POAS--it was Negative :( I know it still could be early, but I think I will do better this way, I dont think I could bare to wait for a phone call on Monday, esp. since DH has to work, and I'm going to be home by myself. I still have some hope, but at least I'll be prepared for the worst. I am really shocked though, I really thought I was pregnant, I guess I still could be...so I'll continue my meds until Monday and see what happens. I actually took it better than I thought I would. I only had a few tears. DH was mad that I took the HPT. So we will see. I have some peace knowing that we are in the shared risk program....so we get 6 cycles. I would be beside myself if we would lose all that money. So if we have to, we will start again in March.

Colesmom-- Hope that your test was too early also!!! We'll find out on Monday!

Neffi: Dont lose hope. You girls have to take the HPT with a grain of salt. If the docs trusted that we would get an accurate reading on days earlier than the days that they test ....they would test us earlier than they do. Or they would let us test on our own. So stay positive. The fat lady hasnt sung!
