Hey everyone--

Andnichole-- Wow!!! That is an awesome beta!!! Congrats! You must be on cloud 9!

Esperanza-- March is our month!

This website is a disaster.... What is going on? Double and triple posts, error messages...plus the first page isnt updating the posts either, it still says feb 5???

As for me...today sucked! I am just not myself since my BFN...Im usually such a happy person, never stressed....but these last few months..I dontknow. Im not used to this, I feel horrible! I know that I'll be okay, I just want this feeling to pass! Plus I'm having serious problems with my cat! $1300...and the problems are still not fixed. Like I have this kind of money. I just spent my entire savings on getting pregnant..which failed! Sorry guys, I really need to vent today. okay I will stop....hope everyone else had a better day than me!

andnichole- congrats on such a wonderful beta, we will be praying for a double number for you on friday

I have been trying to post ladies, but I am also getting error messages and sometimes they post and sometimes they don't. So hopefully, this post makes it.

I go for my 10 wk u/s this afternoon at the clinic. I expect everything should be fine. My belly is starting to grow, and hopefully I can make it another 2 weeks before buying maternity clothes. Hopefully, I will have a beautiful pic to post later. Talk to you guys soon.

andnichole- Official congratulations this time!! It is definitely more than one!! ;)

laglenik- i was the one that stopped progesterone after negative HPT, but I tested on day 13 after 3 day transfer and I knew that it should have shown at that time. I think you did test too early though so don't stop yet. Few more shots is not gonna do any harm to you comparing to the harm it can do to your embie you might carry inside. Think about it that way.

Washingtonda- I agree that the thread is dying, but I guess it is kind of a normal life cycle of a thread. I don't think we can prevent it. After I got my BFN, I would like to forget about the baby business for a while and just relax, till the craziness starts again in a few months. BFPs will stay on the forum because they would like to share their beta and baby stories, and even though we all have been going through the cycle together, it is still really tough to enjoy others' belly growing stories. I dont't think it is bad, it is just natural. If you are struggling for many years to get pregnant and you can't, other people's preganancies do not make you feel particularly well. Don't get me wrong, I am really happy for all who got pregnant this cycle, I just do not enjoy this forum that much any more :( I try to stay focused on work and school in order not to get depressed.

I got my AF on Monday and became really sad again (no sex again, maybe that's why ;))
I had a doc appt yesterday to establish our plan of action. I am resting this month, in mid March I start Lupron, and then April is my FET. I have 6 frosties waiting for me.
I have read about a case when 10 fresh did not work out, but 1st FET did, so I am really hopeful, but in general, (that's what my doc said) pregnacy rate after fresh is higher than after FET, and omitting the fact that some embies do not survive freezing and thawing :(, HOWEVER, the good news is, he said, that he had few couples who did 4 fresh IVFs and nothing, and got pregnant on their first FET.
To all the FET'ers- our bodies might not tolerate the innormously high estrogen level during fresh cycle, and that is why we should hope that FET will work out better.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Hey Girls...I dont know if this will post or not, I have been reading other peoples posts under where you would write your new post in topic review.... I dont know why things arent showing up on the thread. Unexplained, I know what you mean about it being hard hearing other peoples baby stories. I found ut that 3 people I know are pregnant this week, none of them were trying! :evil: But when I hear peoples stories on this site, it gives me hope! So stay strong, it will be your turn soon. I am having a better day todya, thank god. AF is here full force :evil: i I wil start BC again today, then we'll see. Hope all is well with everyone!
