Mrs G - I am sorry for your BFN :( I know you wanted this so badly. I don't feel like I am goin got get my BFP either. Please don't give up...you may have to take some time to save up money, but you will get your little miracle one day! Stay Positive....we have to going thru all this.

Kbear - Congrats! That is a great #. I am also glad you didn't have to wait :P

Brandy - Glad you are alright...dehydrated...oh my...glad you did go to the ER.

I am getting really bummed. I am cramping worse now and it really seems like AF may be ready to rear her ugly self :evil: I hope and pray not, but I have to wait 4 more days. I am not going to POAS.

Take care everyone!!

Hi All,

I have been out of the loop a little. We went away for an extended weekend to visit friends. It was fabulous. It feels like all this IVF stuff happened so long ago. Amazing how resilient humans can be.
I am going to try to set up an appt to meet w/ our RE next week sometime to discuss details.

Mrs G - I am sorry to hear about your BFN. For some reason, it wasn't our time this cycle.. but it will be soon!

Jill_n_Mark - stay positive! U can never know what is causing the cramps etc. that you are feeling.

CONGRATS to all those BFP's!! It is very inspiring! Please keep us updated on all the developments.

Good Evening Girls!

Sue ~ Good to hear from you. I'm glad you had a great weekend away, that was just what you needed! Let us know how the RE appt goes. Take care!

Mrs. G ~ I am so sorry to hear about your BFN. I understant the money situation. Be patient and save your $. I know a BFP is in your future!

Brandy ~ My goodness! So glad you are feeling better! What a great opportunity to see your bean, though!! :D

Kbear ~ Congratulations!!!! :D :D :D Can't wait to hear about your ultrasound!

Jill ~ Cramping is normal now. Even when it feels like AF, it could be your bean(s) settling in!! Good for you for not caving and POAS. I wasn't that strong!!! :D Oh, thanks for updating the list- you rock!

I am feeling great! I don't go in for my ultrasound until 4/15 but of course the wait is KILLING me!!! I so want to call my RE and see if they can humor me and get me in later this week for an early ultrasound (my RE is on vacation next week). I will be 6 weeks on Friday, surely they'll be able to see something? Girls, should I call?

Take care, girls!

Hey Everyone,

I'm doing pretty good and am trying to relax until our first u/s next Wednesday.

Mrs. G - I'm so sorry this cycle didn't work out for you. :cry: Take some time for yourself to grieve this loss this month, and I wish you the best in months to come.

jen - Whew-hew!!! I can't wait to hear the results on Thursday!

kbear - I already said this on the ticker message board, but CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Very exciting on your BFP! :D

Jill - I know it's so hard to wait, and especially during the second week. I'm praying that you'll end up with a BFP! Are you going to POAS?

J&C AND JEN: I can't wait to hear about your ultrasounds. I am so excited for you.

JILL: The 2ww is brutal, but stay strong, we are all praying for your BFP!

Had my 2nd BETA today:

They were looking for anything over 600, mine was 740. Things are looking good so far. Next BETA Friday and ultrasound on Fri 03/11, but they don't expect a heartbeat by that time.

I hope all is well with everybody.

TAKE CARE AND HUGS TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

JEN;

I am so happy for you, that is amazing. I am so glad you got to see the heart beating. I am just beaming for you. Did you get a photo?



I sure hope I can see a heart beating when I have my first ultrasound, it will be at 6 weeks 1 day.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hi Kbear ~ Thanks for the congrats! Congrats to you on awesome betas!! I bet you will be able to see a heart beat too! Since your beta numbers are pretty high, I bet you had early implantation. I am convinced that's what I had and that's why I was able to see the heartbeats. I can't even begin to explain the feelings that you will feel when you see the sac and heartbeat! It is truely a wonderful miracle!!


Jill & J&C ~ How are you girls? Hope you are both doing well!

Have a great evening!
