Jen,

Did you make the appointment anyway? I think you should. So your family is very supportive? Is Dh at work?

Jen, try to hang in there. I am soo sorry that you are going through this and the fact is that anyone of us could be going through the same thing at any point. So take your time and work through your feelings and do what you need to do to make it right. Good luck today with the Social Worker. Once you get that baby in your arms you will know it is all worth going through the adoption process.

Steph hope you have a great interview. Knock em dead. Sorry I did not make it online last night before you all finished looks like you had a good time.

Mia just one more day. I will be at work tomorrow, but I will be anxious to log on and check. What time do you go for B/W?

Hello to everyone else. I don't have time right now to go back and look at what is going one I will catch up later.

Steph, good luck with interview today.

Stephjim, missed you last night.

You too Miracle.

Rachel, thinking of you, hoping all goes well at doc's today. Let us know ASAP!

Jen, take a deep breath. Meeting with the social worker may feel stressful to you right now, but remember, it's one step closer to BABY!!!! Good idea to make appointment even if it's not immediate. Always good to get support in trying times. We love you. You are brave and strong. You will be an awesome mom. Keep that in your mind. The goal is to be a mom. You will do it.

Hi Mia. Dh came home last night and I had to get off computer before you got back on. I feel AF symptoms too. Bummer for us, maybe we are imagining things? Let's hope for the best.

Hi everyone.Thinking of you all. -chriss

Hiya,

I don't log on for 2 days, and you lot go mad.....there is no way \i could catch up on the last hundred pages!!! :) Working long hours at a client's office so can't log on much :( .

Jen - once again, please know that we are all with you. Wish I could reach out and give you a proper hug. Take some more time off work if you have to. Hope your meeting with the social worker goes well. One thing is true, you are going to be a fantastic mother. No doubts there. You'll still be able to share your love with your adopted child. Its kind of like going through the donor route, except that theres a lot more involved. You are also so louck to have such a wonderful husband. Don't worry about ranting as much as you want. We're not counsellors, but it may help to get some of your feelings off your chest.

Steph - how did you interview go?

Mia - Best of luck for tomorrow.

Sorry can't do any more personals as need to get back to work, but hope the rest of you are ok.

I am a poor responder again :( . I was told that the clinic is disappointed with the number of follicles. Really getting upset. Anyway, looks like my ER is tentatively scheduled for Monday. The thing is that although I only have seven follicles, they are growing well. They are now 15mm on average. So I was worried about them rupturing before the HCG shot. Please someone - tell me I'm being stupid.

Angel,
Not to worry, they won't rupture. The meds prevent ovulation. I am a poor responder too. Sucks cause there seems to be nothing I can do to improve this. Last time we only had 3 or 4 that's why we switched to IUI. To me, 7 deosn't seem that poor. Are you on Max doasage of stimms? I was. Each cycle I seem to be producing less follicles. I am worried. Is it random or will it continue to be less? Did your clinic mention anything about body becomming to used to the meds? Maybe that's what's happening to me. i don't know. Let me know what they say. With 7 you still have a good chance. :D

Chriss; How you holding up girl?? Staying positive. Remember the IUI worked for you before :wink:

Angel you are being stupid :) Seven still sounds very doable! No sense worrying about what we can't control. Let the clinic be disappointed - you focus on PMA and those follies all having an eggie in them :)

Stephjim: b/w tomorrow at 7:30 - I am hoping they don't wait all day to call me for the results!!

Jen1d: One thing you can be thankful for is that you and dh will one day have an adopted child. My dh is against adoption for us - so don't take for granted that blessing. I know it will still be tough. I know all of us have thought the same things you wrote - thanks for being so honest. It will get easier with time- though the pain won't completely vanish. As the other girls said lean on your dh now - he sounds like a keeper.

Lara: thanks for the reminder that pee sticks are evil!

Peqe: Good luck: and try not to squirt burrito sauce on the interviewer!! :)

Miracle: Hiya :)

Well I had AF cramps throughout the night :( But trying to tell myself it is mu uterus stretching. Its wierd b/c they come for a couple of minutes and then they are gone. I might POAS today for peace of mind :shock: Thanks girls for all your support!!

Angel- I am sorry that the clinic is "disappointed" on your response. Mia is right, 7 is still good!!! I have me fingers crossed!!!

Chriss-I am still thinking of you. PMA

Mia- you are awesome. I love your attitude. I bet it was your uterus stretching. It has to be... So praying for you as well!!!

Jen- Is sucks you are alone. It makes it worse. I hope your meeting goes well.

Angel, 7 is a good number. All you need is one really good one right?

Mia, try to hold out until tomorrow if you can for POAS. I am anxious to hear your news. You have to remember that when one is pregnant they still feel cramping because as you said the uterus is stretching.

Steph let us know how the interview went.

Miracle, are you feeling better today?

Jen, we are all here when you want to talk, anytime.

To everyone else, hello, I am going to get back to cleaning again.

Hang in there Lara. You will get to the end and it will all be worth it. So when the baby measures that big does that mean she will probably come earlY?

Are you having and braxton hicks contractions yet?

Hello!

Stephjim, I am ok. I am really emotionally right now. I think I am even more so b/c of Jen. It is so not fair. I am going to get my hair done Sat. and it is the sister of the girl who is PG. I know what I get to hear the whole damn time... :cry: Thanks for asking.

Chriss-WE LOVE YOU!!! We are so lucky to have you as well!!! BIG HUGS!

Lara-I am sorry you didnt get to see your baby girl. That just sucks. I am so glad she is doing well. I am sorry about the iron levels. But I am glad it will be simply to rectify if it doesnt get better. The is a good thing!! :D
