Hi ladies -

Neffi - do what you have to do with those hpt's - but try not to drive yourself crazy - keep the stress low and your PMA high! Keep yourself busy and relaxed for the next few days and through the weekend - and no matter what those tests say, you are PUPO! baby dust!!

Mrs. G - you really sound great - wonderful that you have so many supportive people around you at this time!

Esperanza - hanging in there?? do hope so. I like your, we are pregnant mantra - will use that myself next week at this time...You will have your ups and downs - it is perfectly normal..those hormones sometimes get the better of your PMA - but keep pushing the positive thoughts to the foreground like you are and you'll make it! just a few more days -

ct-michele - you really make me laugh -- so glad your pregnancy is going so well. Wishing you all the best with your next test and hoping you'll finally SEE what you're having --

Pumma says hi and wishes everyone best of luck - she had a 3 day ET today and will check in again after her 2 days of bedrest - she is officially PUPO and on the 2WW!!!

My ER went well yesterday. They retrieved 14 eggs. We won't get a fertility progress report till the morning of our 5 day ET, which is Monday the 31st -- you girls will all be reporting in with your bfp's at that time!

Sending out lots of baby dust and PMA to all of you very supportive ladies and ladies-in-(2w) waiting! Thanks as well to Lostgirl for her good wishes!

xx Amy

Amy-- why wont you get your fert report until Monday????

hi Neffi - that is just my clinic's policy - it was the same last time as well. If nothing fertilized, they'd let us know. Before we go in for the transfer they'll let us know what has been going on over the last 5 days.

Amy hang in there. Everything will be fine. Remember on this thread, no negative thoughts are allowed. I know it's tough because I've been there but take advise from someone who luckily got the BFP that being positive and staying strong is key. I sunk once during my process and the girls here wouldn't allow that. I'm now almost 14 weeks so you know it does happen.

Esperanza -- Where are you my girlfriend? Hope all is well. I've got everything crossed for you and your BFP. Remember PUPO!!! No test is final until that first beta.

Ms G -- I know you mentioned possibly testing today or this weekend. Have you tested yet? We'll good luck either way. I am pulling for you girls.

Neffi -- I do beleive you test soon also. Keep the PMA and things will work out.

I got a feeling that we will get BFPs of you girls. Remember PUPO!!! The beta says the last answer and don't get upset over anything just yet. Miracles do happen and some of us are late implanters.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF MY LADIES TESTING IN A FEW DAYS!!!!!

Hello all!

Well, my PMA has been up and down. Not too "down"... just a bit. At least I haven't had a breakdown like I did with my last cycle, so that's much better already. Right now I'm feeling fine. DH got upset with me this morning because I told him that I had POAS

He made me promise that I would just wait and relax until beta on Monday.

You know Amy my clinic is just the same. They don't really give you a fertilization report. Only at the 3rd day to tell you if you should come in for transfer or if you should wait for day 5. Then on day 5 they call you again to tell you if the transfer is on or not. I'm sure your embies are doing great!

Neffi-- honey, I feel your anxiety and the stress of the HPTs, those little things can be evil, especially for us who are going through this journey(I've gotten 4 negatives, but I'm not letting that bring me down. I remember Michelle's story who tested and tested, and only got a faint positive the afternoon before beta). Hopefully the weekend will go by soon enough and we'll find ourselves posting our BFPs on this board. I can't wait to actually share the good news with you all, AND read your BFP and Mrs. G's BFP. We are going to be like the Jan/Feb thread....all BFPs from now on. Do you agree with me?

LostGirl--Thank you so much dear. Your support and love is very much appreciated and needed. I know that your positive thoughts are having a positive impact on me and my babies. It's great to see that you are already in the second trimester, and that your little one is doing great. A big hug to you!

Michelle I'm so glad your beautiful one is doing great and that you're feeling well. Thank you for your support and love. It's great to know that you're still around. We are all going to have babies really soon! I will never forget this forum and all of you. I will tell my kids about you all and about how special they are, because that's for sure, they are special!

WashingtonDA my buddy! thank you to you too. You rock! kisses and love to my baby's college roommate

I do feel like I have a bond with all of you (including the ones that I didn't write personals to)...it's strange, but I guess you can bond with people even through computers. I can see how people meet and fall in love over the internet

hehehhehee.

Mrs. G!!!---Monday will be here and you, Neffi, and I will be posting our BFPs!!!! yay!!!!

summerbaby · Post by **summerbaby** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 9:47 pm

washingtonda - thanks so very much for your heartfelt words of encouragement and positive thinking!!

to esperanza, mrs. g & neffi - have a great weekend. hope you've all got something fun planned to keep your mind off the calendar...Monday will be here before you know it! You've all come so far - try as best as you can to relax and stay positive!

Looking forward to seeing those BFPs on Monday!

thanks again to everyone for your support and inspiring words and stories! After so many months of waiting, I can hardly believe that my transfer day will be here on Monday -- hooray! There will be a lot to celebrate come Monday!

enjoy the weekend and all the best ! xx Amy

Hello Ladies! Today is my birthday the big 25 (lol) Believe me I feel more like I'm turning 37. I am going out for dinner and to watch a band play, just a low key night and it will help keep my mind off of things.

I have been good at keeping PMA up but Ive had my moments.. I did test this morning and it was a BFN and that is when it set it that there really is a possibility of bad news on Monday. BUT I did keep telling myself it was awfully early to be testing.. It's only 9days past transfer. I only have 1 more test so Im going to hold on to it.

Esperanza - I know how you feel it's hard not to test and want to see that positive line so bad and I agree we need to keep this positive attitude and we need to see BFP's from here on out with all the ladies right now!!!

Amy - I can't wait to hear your fertilization report, I was thinking of you.

Neffi - Believe me after i tested this morning i just stood there shaking my head saying this is wrong this test is so wrong.. Im not falling for that this time, remember that most HPT wont test anything less than 25 in your system and anything about 5 is positive!! I just have to keep telling myself that its just TOO early!

So how are you ladies feeling anyway? Any symptoms? I didnt really feel anything all day today but my mind was really busy with stuff going on at my job. We had a birthday celebration for myself and then a going away party plus we are really busy since i work for a bank and its our month end/quarter end time.

Well I must be on my way take care ladies and i will check back this weekend!!

Mrs. G--

CT_Michele · Post by **CT_Michele** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 11:45 pm

Happy birthday Mrs. G- Here are some positive thoughts for the big 2-5...your car insurance will now go down, you can now rent a car in any state without having to get a cosigner or pay for the extra insurance, and your future baby will never forget how old you are, b/c you will be 25 when you have them and that is an easy number to add to their age. Like my mom had me when she was 20, so if I am 27, I know she is 47.

Esperanza- Thank you for the kind words. I am glad I am still hanging out here too. I know what you mean about bonding on the computer. I feel like the women here really understand each other. It's funny too, b/c when I was posting for my cycle back in Dec., my dh would post and read with me, so he knows everyone too. Sometimes I will give him updates about you guys like your our friends or family from down the street!

Neffi- Keep tha PMA, we are all routing for you. Esperanza reminded you all of my hpt story during my 2ww. I did not get a faint line until the afternoon before the morning of my beta, and it was very very faint. It was no wonder b/c my first beta number was only a 44, and as mrs g said, alot of those tests measure 25 or higher, so keep the faith alive.

Amy- Monday is a big day on this board, lots of betas and your ET...good luck to you.

I know I told you all my scan is on wednesday, but I wanted to share that I talked to the medical center which will do the scan, and they told me I could bring a vhs tape and they would tape part of the ultrasound. I think that is so cool b/c then I can share with friends and family. DH and I are going to convert it to dvd and maybe I will be able to post with all of you, so you know what you have to look forward to soon!

Hello to anyone I missed, and all I can say is thank god it's friday...Happy Weekend everyone!

It's fairly late here but I wanted to jump on before I went to bed to check on my 2WW buds. Girls hang in there, only two more days to go and we will all be mommies.

Quick update on me. Got my blood results from the nuchal test that I took on the 18th. They were 1 in 2261 for Downs and 1 in 3376 for Trisomy 18 & 13. Nurse said these results were as good as a 20 year old so we are happy. Possibility of any abnormalties with our little one is very, very low.

Back to my OB on 4 April for second OB visit. Back to high risk Doc on 29 April for final U/S. They use those high tech machines and did tell us that we could find out what we were having during that visit if we wanted to but DH and I have decided to wait it out and just be surprised with the new bundle of joy (whatever it may be).

Also Im eating everything in site, and I find myself eating all day long and am definately packing on the pounds. My baby is greedy (hehehe)

Well good luck to all. Happy weekend for all my prego mom's and remember we are all a team here so we are backing all of you who are waiting for test. Remember PUPO!!!

Neffi211 · Post by **Neffi211** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 1:14 pm

Well I have been strong and did not POAS yesterday or this morning. I am probably going to tomorrow becasue I just want to be prepared for Monday at work.

Esperanza and Mrs. G-- it is our time! Monday is right around the corner! What time are you guys going in on monday. I'll be there at 7:30 am but last cycle I didnt hear anything until like 2:15pm. That wait is the absolute worst. I am like 50/50 right now. The HPTs really messed with my head. So I guess we'll see.

Good luck to everyone!

Neffi211 · Post by **Neffi211** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:56 am

Well Ladies I POAS for the last time before my beta tomorrow and its POSITIVE! I am shaking, I cant believe this is happening! I cried! I am so thrilled that I dont know what to do! I woke DH and my sister up at 5:45 this morning yelling " Its Positive" And called and woke my mom up! I cant wait to hear my beta! And to think of all the torture I put myself through this week becasue of that one HPT! IM PREGNANT, and it will be official tomorrow! I've never been so excited for Monday to come! Thank you all for your support, I dont know if I would have made it without this site! I feel all of your BFPs coming soon!

Neffi -- CONGRATULATIONS!!!! One out of three so far (hoohoo). Come on Esperanza and Ms G., let's bat 3 for 3!! Neffi my advice to you is to just take it easy until your are 10-12 weeks. I know that seems like a long time but honestly I went to work and when I got home I just relaxed for the first 10-12 weeks. I ate dinner in bed (thanks to DH). If you have someone that can cook for you so that you are off your feet than that would be so much help. Also I was so tired those first 10 weeks that my DH was waking me up just to eat. I probably could have slept all day some days if he hadnt done that. He wasn't gonna not feed his baby (hehe)!!! Just take it slow and get as much rest as you possibly can. Get as much R&R as you can for the first 10-12 weeks. Listen to your body. When it wants to rest, let it rest. Beleive it or not, you will get to a point where you feel relaxed about the whole process. After a few scares and the worry of my nuchal test results I can now say that I have finally relaxed and don't worry too much that something could go wrong. We have even started to purchase baby stuff (how exciting)!!!! CONGRATS!!! CONGRATS!!!! I am so happy for you right now.

Esperanza where are you you sweetie?? I noticed that you have not posted for a few days. Hope all is well and you are just not posting because you are resting and taking care of that baby that's snuggling in.

Ms. G -- Were you gonna POAS today? If so, GOOD LUCK!!! I have everything crossed for you ladies. This is so exciting. I shed a tear when I saw the positive for Neffi!! Can't wait for all of us to post pictures on here of our beautiful little joys. I will definately post a picture of my bundle when he/she arrives for the world to see.

GOOD LUCK to all my ladies who are stimming or waiting. I know it seems like forever but you will soon get there. Neffi's positive has got to give you hope.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!!!! HAPPY SUNDAY TO ALL!!!
