Hey y'all!!

Well my u/s and blood on Thursday went fine, RE says everything is great. Thursday is ET, but not sure on the time yet. We're putting our last 3 in, so maybe, just maybe it'll work. If not, we're taking a break, then we'll give it another go.

CONGRATS Barbarella!!!! Our board is starting out good with the BFP's!!! I would try not to worry about the low beta, like the other girls said, it happens a lot. My friend's was so slow that she had positibe POAS over and over, and her blood said negative!!! Now her daughter is 4!

Baby or Bust-How is it going??? Saying my prayers for you!! Bet you can't wait until Monday!!!!

Beth almost test time!!! How are you feeling??

Wow Monday is a popular day for all three of you guys!!!

kyw-I bet the wait is driving you crazy! It seems to drag on and on!! Hope you are taking it easy!

Chrysty??? How have you been?

I am definetely hooked on American Idol! I've watched all the seasons, and it's actually a family event with us! LOL We have desert with my parents and watch it usually! (DH isn't crazy about it, but he watches it anyways) I already have my favorites this year!!!
Everybody have a great weekend, I know I will with the Daytona 500 on Sunday!! Whoo Hoooo!!!

Faith / donnell - Thanks for your good vibes I certainly need them I keep checking to make sure there is no show...one more day to get through then the dreaded misery guts nurse on monday!! I Love her ....NOT! Not long now Faith, stick baby stick..Donnell you sound like you are a definate positive, I did do a poas but It was so faint i was too scared to jinx it.

Good luck to beth and donnell on monday! I will be praying to St Gerard for everybody ...(saint for maternity).. my friend did it for me and so far he is doing an ok job!!

KYW - Will be thinking of you this week! Good luck chick! My boobs are full not as big and sore as they were last time on my fresh cycle but I think that was the drugs. I have been burping loads and really thirsty, don't know if this is normal?

I watched American Idol yesterday I love it, I have not seen the dance one.

Chrysty-hope you are ok, whats been happeningx

Oops I forgot to ask you all this on my post earlier,
What kind of bedrest after transfer were you required? It's always been day of ET and two days after for me. I just get sooooo bored laying down and being lazy. Is it real necessary that long?? Of course I'll do it, I'm just curious at what different clinics require

TTYL!!

Hi girls,

Well I had a scare yesterday. I started spotting light pink and cramping. I am still cramping but spotting has stopped - at least for now.

Chrysty - Good to hear from you. I always gain a little bit of weight with all the meds. YAY on getting a transfer date.

Faith - I was to take it easy the day of transfer, then the following day I was able to go back to 80% activity. Remember, I went back to work. But if they would have told me to bed rest for a week, I would have.

Barbarella - Good luck on Monday. I am praying for you too. In fact all of you. I hope no one minds.

Kyw - I admire all of your girls that hold out until the beta. I have continued to POAS everyday. (personally I think I might be addicted) :) PS. My boobs are extremely sore.

Beth - I am thinking of you. Good luck tomorrow! I will continue to check the boards for an update on everyone!

Have a good weekend ladies. One last thing, nausea started this morning.

Donnell

Chrysty - I bloated too but I do have a spare tyre it just filled out.

Faith - I was just told to rest for Half hour after FET, then off you go back to work but I was visiting family so I just carried on as normal. No bedrest at all.

Good Luck to all tomorrow...this waiting is doing my head in! I have been scrolling through all the sites looking at low betas.....arrrrrrh. Thank god tomorrow afternoon I will know if they have risen and thats that. I have enjoyed my last 3 days thinking I am positive for now!

Check in tomorrow.....LOL

Hi All!

Just thought I'd pop in before company came, big Nascar day you know... :D

baby or bust-How scary! That has happened to a lot of people I know. One in particular had bright red spotting and severe cramping, and went on to have a healthy baby. So, just try to take it easy, I'm sure it's just your body adjusting to everything! I'll be thinking of you and sending lotsa prayers!

Let us know what tomorrow brings everyone that has betas!!! Wishing you TONS of good luck!!!

I'm getting my "box" ready of stuff to keep me occupied while on bedrest!! Thank goodness my parents live next door, they can entertain me until DH gets home, LOL. BYE!!

Just a quick hello!!!!

Donnell and Barbarella ~~ I wish you lots and lots of baby dust tomorrow! I will be thinking of you!
I hope you are taking it easy, Donnell, how scary with the spotting. I hope everything is ok, but I know my nurse told me some spotting is normal. Nausea may be a GOOD sign!!
Let us know how everything goes tomorrow and I will do the same.

Faith ~ I was told to bed rest the day of the transfer and then resume normal activities the next day.
Hope you are enjoying your company and Nascar!

More later!

Good luck for those beta testing today! - Donnell/Barbarella and anyone else I have missed

Donnell - you made me laugh about being addicted to POAS. I probably would too but they are so expensive over here. I could buy myself a new top for the cost!!!!!!!!!
I think I shall too. DH is going away on business this week and is dropping me off in Manchester for some retail therapy. Trafford centre here I come!

Also, I have heard that some spotting is normal as the embie embeds itself

Thinking of you all

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE TODAY!!! Let us know how it goes :D

Had my E2 done this a.m. so far transfer still for Thurs.

Just to share with everyone, I heard of a great tea called Yogi Tea women's mother to be, and it's supposed to be really helpful with cramping, it's supposed to relax the uterus, as well as helping with other things. I've never tried any tea so I decided to this time. I ordered it from Swanson Health Products (online) if any of you want to give it a try as well.

Once again, GOOD LUCK today!!

Hi Girls!

How is everyone doing?
Well, no surprise to me, I got a BFN. :(
As much as I expected it, it's still pretty depressing.

I hope everyone gets better news! Looking forward to positive news to cheer me up!!

Now, I'll wait for the hormones to get back to normal, and maybe I will stop eating like a piggie. lol.

Beth ~ I am so sorry about the BFN. I am thinking of you. This is so hard to go through.

Well....I just got my call. My first draw was 257 - 15dpo. I go for another draw Wednesday! Please pray for doubling numbers.

Hey Beth

Firstly, sorry to hear your news. My first was a BFN and i was really disappointed it is really hard but you have to scrape yourself up and put yourself in order and be positive for your next round. Will you go for another fresh cycle? If it doesnt work for me this time I will give it another go, for sure.Hope this helps!

Faith - Sounds like all is going to plan, I am pleased for you. Lots of sticky vibes for you Thursday!How was Nascar?

Chrysty - Your time is coming soon- not far now!

KYW - Hows it going! I was at Trafford Centre last week, we went to the Chill Factore indoor snowboard/ski slope, check it out!

Donnell - Hows that !you got a good score. You will double with no trouble, I should of been a poet. Thinking of you wednesday.

Today was a drain! waiting to see if my low beta would move at all...I went for acupunture after blood draw then had to wait 2 hours longest day of my life and I got 58 this time, it is really slow climbing but at least it doubled which is a bonus, well I have to go back next monday 25th...it is ages away....How many bloods do they take? Does anybody know? Well I am positive for now, and i am going to make the most of it.

Well Girlies take it easy....

Gnite x

Donnell! Great number! I don't think you need to worry this time! It's your turn! How exciting for you! Good luck tomorrow!!

and

Barbarella! Stay positive girl! good news that it doubled! I am happy for you. Monday will be here before you know it.
I will probably do a fresh cycle. Not right now, though. I will probably take some time off for a few months. Maybe late spring, early summer. We'll see. I wish I didn't feel so old with time ticking away... :?

Faith....Thursday is almost here!

gotta run,
