Hi everyone.

Hope, Thinking of you for Wednesday. Yes, one day at a time. This time will be different. Beta numbers sound fantastic! Keep doing what you are doing.

Sonu, Sounds like you are doing well, especially for the later half of the 2ww. Friday is almost here. Thinking of you.

Nicaliw, hope the lining cooperates. I know what you mean about getting too caught up with all of the details. Hope said it correctly, sometimes we know too much. Lots of my friends/family who are pregnant or have little ones don't even know what a beta is. Ignorance is bliss.

Indie, hope you are well. Preparing for all of that driving we have ahead of us???? (HA, HA) Maybe the re-decorating is a happy distraction. Stay with it.

Off to the acupuncturist. Love to you. -chriss

Hey girls. Sorry I have been MIA. SO busy at work - barely enough time to take care of the house, much less post here :(

On pineapple. I did a lot of research b/c there was a thread going around a while back on it. What "they" suggest is get a fresh pineapple and cut it into 5 sections (including them middle- in fact this is where most of the magic is!) Then start ing the day of ET eat one section for 5 days. YOu can add it to a fruit smoothie if you dont want to eat the middle. What I read was not to eat a lot of pineapple before ET b/c it cause contractions and can be bad for ER or something.

Ok Nik - I read up on what you have been going through - I pray the lining thickens.

I have been good - losing more weight I think but trying to eat whenever I am hungry. I am starting to show just a tad - really only when I wear a dress - not pants.

Hope everyone is doing well. I will try to get on more - but I dont see my schedule lightening up any time soon. This time of the semester it just gets really busy!

But I know you girls are still here for me :0)

ooooooooo no, now I'm really confused. I was going to get some pineapple today but I don't want to jepordize the outcome in any way. Mia, did "they" recommend eating the pineapple until a certain amount of time before the transfer????

Hey Ladies -

I will try to catch up later today - but I wanted to give a quick update.

We had our first U/S today - 6w1d and we got to see our little one's heart beat - Image - rate 117 - which seemed a little low for me, but RE assured me it was fine anywhere between 100-150.

We are a little sad that our twin didn't make it, but we are very happy to have a strong little one growing away in there! Now the next scary 2ww begins. I was a nervous wreck just being in there this morning, I can't imagine how hard the next one will be.

Thinking of you, Chriss... hope the mock goes well and isnt' too painful!

Thinking of the rest of you too... I gotta get going. I made DH drive me this morning in case it was bad news so I wouldn't have to drive myself, but that means I had to come back home and now I need to get to work!

Sonu: One more day...YIPPEEE!!! I can't believe you've not POAS....you have some MAJOR will power. Praying for you, and eager to see another BFP tomorrow for this wonderful group. Are you having any signs at all? I know it's hard with that progesterone, it kind of mimic's the same symptoms.

I saw a baby Tuesday at the playground and I almost started crying....it looked just like my oldest did, black hair and TONS of it and he was nursing :( I'm so emotional when I see little ones....and I have children, so I don't understand that.

Anyhow, things on the homefront have calmed down a LOT with my middle adopted child. We got some great RAD books and we've been doing some different discipline techniques. We're amazed at the difference....but we knew that what worked for our other children (who are somewhat normal LOL) didn't work for him....so we're glad we found something :)

Well, have a call in to my nurse and we'll see where I'm headed next :) Excited....praying that I can start BCP's this month and skip that psy visit. Oh and my husband said "you only live once" and he's going to use his credit card for my meds :) The study pays a little at the end of it to the patient, so it'll actually pay the CC off....it's just delayed a few months :)

Wonderful news Hope.

Sonu, thinking of you.

"Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD."
Proverbs 16:20 (NIV)

"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded"
Hebrews 10:35 (NIV)

That's my two cents. Good night ladies.-chriss

Thanks a lot ladies for your wishes and prayers....IT WORKED FOR ME!!!!

Its BFP for me. :D The count is positive though not as high...150. I am now just extremely cautiously optimistic. My clinic says above 100 is a confirmed pregnancy. I get to see my liitle one's heartbeat in 10 days times.

GOD IS GREAT!!! HIS BLESSINGS ARE UNCOUNTABLE.

Hope - I saw your little one on the other board...sorry fr sneaking in!! But it was overwhelming to see the pic. Thanks for the wishes.

Carolyn...thanks for wishing me sweetheart!! It is precious.

Chriss- verses were beautiful and I read them before leaving for bloodwork. It worked. Thanks a lot. and yes, don't forget this is our year!!

Indieblue - Yes, it was difficult avoiding the evil HPTs, but I was determined whatever be the outcome, I will wait till 11 th april.

Ladies pl guide me as to how to take care of myself!! do's and don'ts ...this is my first experience of pregnancy!!

Prayers and Hugs to all!!

Dear Ang and Hope

Thanks....so so much for your heartfelt wishes.

Yes, I am on cloud 9, 10, 11....I am still trying to get into 'expecting baby' mode. :D

Its a blessing and I pray to God that I have my baby in my arms before this year ends.

I am still confused about my due date-whether it should be counted from my lmp or the day embabies were transferred.
