Hi Ladies,

Angel, i am so sorry, hang in there, hope the test proves otherwise. Hugs.

Steph, congrats on the US, one little beanie growing nice and strong.

Hope, sorry your body is misbehaving, my clinic never test levels, just go by ultrasounds. I stimmed for 14 days though, so i think slow and steady is ok. Keep the faith.

Rachel, glad all is ok with your little one, not long now till you will be meeting her,take it easy and get plenty of rest.

JenB, so glad everything went well in big B, sorry for all the delays, my transfers were always with full bladders and they were always runnning late. good luck and keep up the PMA.

Jen1d, glad the adoption classes are going well, and your ahead of all the other couples. keep strong. Hugs.

Becky, woo hoo on AF arrivng, sorry about your op, hope all goes well, and your fighting fit again in no time. \sorry mothers day was frightful, don't you love daughters, i take it she is grounded for the rest of the year. I think my dad would have killed me.

Mia, good luck at your next scan.

Sorry to all you ladies i've missed, Chriss, stephjm, miracle etc, can't remember where you all are in treatment but hope all is going well.

As for me, got a bit of a cold, feeling very stuffy and a bit of a sore throat, so not happy. Mum's over from Spain on Thursday for a week, my grandma's 91st birthday, and its the first time mum has seen me since i got pg. Also got my anomoly scan tomorrow, so will log on and let you all know how i got on.
Catch you all later

I got this following email today off one of the girls at work saying she thought it was very apt for me ...... i dont know what she means LOL

GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)

To those of us who have children in our lives,
whether they are our own,
grandchildren,
nieces,
nephews,
or students...
here is something to make you chuckle.

Whenever your children are out of control,
you can take comfort from the thought that
even God's omnipotence did not extend
to His own children.

After creating heaven and earth,
God created Adam and Eve.

And the first thing he said was
' DON'T ! '

'Don 't what ? '
Adam replied.

'Don't eat the forbidden fruit.'
God said.

'Forbidden fruit ?
We have forbidden fruit ?
Hey Eve.we have forbidden fruit ! '

' No Way ! '
'Yes way! '

'Do NOT eat the fruit ! '
said God.

'Why ? '

'Because I am your Father and I said so ! '
God replied,
wondering why He hadn't stopped
creation after making the elephants

A few minutes later,
God saw His children having an apple break
and He was ticked !
'Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit ? '
God asked.

'Uh huh,'
Adam replied.

'Then why did you ? '
said the Father.

'I don't know,'
said Eve.
'She started it ! '
Adam said.

'Did not ! '
'Did too ! '
'DID NOT ! '

Having had it with the two of them,
God's punishment was that Adam and Eve
should have children of their own.

Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it,
don't be hard on yourself.

If God had trouble raising children,
what makes you think it would be
a piece of cake for you ?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT !

1. You spend the first two years of their life
teaching them to walk and talk.. Then you spend
the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

2. Grandchildren are God's reward
for not killing your own children.

3. Mothers of teens now know why
some animals eat their young.

4. Children seldom misquote you.
In fact, they usually repeat word for word
what you shouldn't have said

5. The main purpose of holding children's parties
is to remind yourself that there are children
more awful than your own

6. We childproofed our homes,
but they are still getting in.

ADVICE FOR THE DAY:

Be nice to your kids.
They will choose your
nursing home one day

AND FINALLY:

IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION
AND YOU GET A HEADACHE,
DO WHAT IT SAYS
ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:

'TAKE TWO ASPIRIN'
AND 'KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN'!!!!!

And still we carry on in this crazy world of IVF - bring it on i say lol

Hope this has made someone smile today - it made me reach for the asprin lol

[beachbaby]

Hi Becky,i like it, made me chuckle. I just keep thinking that i've got all the same issues x2 at the same time, keeps freaking us out. Oh how our life is about to change. For the better of course.

So its official - its a BFN for us this time.

Although I had been prepared since yesterday cause of the spotting and excessive cramping, we were still holding on to a tiny bit of hope and praying for a miracle.

I've had a long cry (my Mum is just amazing). At the moment I don't know how to function. Had a totally unproductive 2 days at work and can't take leave as have used up all my leave up to June. DH is feeling quite devastated too and promised that he would leave early from work today. I keep on bursting into tears while working and feel like I should pack up for the day. It just feels like "whats the point??" I don't want to talk to anyone, I don't want to smile and I don't think I can be happy. And I hate myself. I've been so strong and positive this entire cycle up to the point that AF came, saying everyday that its gonna work this time and at least one of the embies will want to stay with me. I know I took enough rest, ate the right types of food, and we both talked to the embies everyday.

Is this the point we give up? DH and I talked about it at the beginning and decided we would go for a total of 5 cycles. But in our hearts we truly believed that it wouldn't reach that point. DH said he loves me no matter what and even if we can't have babies we should be grateful we have each other. But I really can't imagine life without kids.....

Sorry to be a downer on this lively thread. But I really needed to express my grief.

Ang

[stephjim]

Angel, I am soo sorry for your BFN!! You are in my prayers as well as your DH. This is such a traumatic thing and I know some people would say well it is not like you got pregnant and lost he baby, but it almost feels that way, you know? So take your time and grieve and do what is best for the two of you. If you have the insurance to cover it, then I would try again, but that is just me. I don't have that luxury, unfortunately. So i maybe have one full try and a frozen one if we have enough. If I can get past if the first one does not work, which I am staying positive. Positive is what makes a positive situation right?

Please take this time and do something with DH over the weekend to get your mind off of it.

[stephjim]

Hello all!! I am back from my official IVF Start Date appt. Yay!!!!!! So I went in and they drew my estrogen level, which I thought they would wait for that to come back, but they didn't because when I don't think he saw any cysts and but he did say there is one on the right and it is a 10 and nothing on the left, so I assumed and now I wish I would have asked, that he meant there was already a follicle growing on the right and that was a 10. I say that because he immediately said lets start our stimms tonight. I would not think that if there was any cyst there at all that he would start it right away? I don't know. All I know is that I am starting and that I am in sticker shock as well and so is DH. It finally hit him today what is going on and he is more excited I can tell. So I am starting on 3 of Bravelle and one of Menopur tonight. I go back Sunday morning for my next appt.

What sucks is guess what I work Sunday so I have to get with my manager and see if it is ok to come in late because if I trade with someone my luck is that the day I grade for I will have to go back into the doc so if someone can watch my patients for an hour I should be ok.
Waiting for a call from her. Worse case, I will trade days and deal with the next appt when it comes. So according to the IVF nurse if everything goes smoothly and not too fast or too slow the retrieval will be somewhere around the 18th. YAY!!!!!! It is all finally coming together. I am so excited. Again in major sticker shock $$wise, but it will be ALL worth it in the end.

I am off today as well as the next 3 days so I will be around.

[Miracle08]

My dear Angel love,

I am so very sorry. i know that doesn't help you. I wish I could do something to help. It is totally normal for you to be in shock and to be upset. Please do not hate yourself. This isnt yours or DH fault. You both will need to have long cries and grieve. Take the time for yourselves. Go out and try to do something fun together. Cling to each other.

You asked, is this the point where you should give up...
If your IF is covered under insurance or if you have the money, I think you should go for it. But it is something you and DH will have to discuss and decide. I cant even imagine how the whole process stresses you and DH out. Maybe you can transfer more then 2 ? What about getting a second opinion? Have you stayed with the same Dr this whole time?

Please, feel free to vent. You need to be able to. You are not being a downer. You are hurting, we all hurt for eachother. Sending you lots of love and hugs...
