Hi all!
Nicaliw: It must be such a relief to know exactly when your FET will be! Friday will be here in no time! I'll be thinking of you and can't wait to hear how it all went!
Neffi: That seems kind of sneaky to me that your clinic wouldn't tell you that you had to wait 2 months--that they would just mail you that info instead. Seems to me they could have talked to you directly about that! Let us know what they say when you talk to them today!
DrJen: Here's hoping AF will come shortly for you! So your next appointment is Friday? I'll be thinking of you!
Kimberley30: Good luck this week!! So you might be triggering tonight for ER on Wednesday? How exciting! Let us know how your appointment went today!
Ann D.: Hoping you get the good news you deserve today. We're all thinking of you!
J&C: How you feeling these days? Any m/s or other symptoms? Will your u/s on the 24th be the last one at your clinic before you're sent to an ob-gyn?
Nothing new here. I'm anxiously awaiting my u/s on Thursday. I started crying at church on Sunday (not outwardly bawling--but tearing up) because there were so many toddlers and infants at mass. I guess it really hit me that I want this so much. I know that's weird. I'm not sure why it hit me at church. I mean, I've wanted this so badly for so long (as we all do), but I guess the uncertainty of whether or not this is a viable pregnancy got to me. Does that make sense or am I the biggest freak you've ever met?!? Hmmmm.....don't answer that question.

so ER 10am wednesday morning. no more needles after tonights pregnyl yip pee..........and as for getting tearful it happens to me alot, i use to avoid children totally and pregnant friends i just couldnt cope with the hurt but one day in the near future we wont feel this any more!ever! we will be on this site encouraging ivf'ers miracles do happen xKimberly...10 follicles is great! 10 potential babies! I had to coast before my ER too. Its kinda nice to get a break from the shots. Those are some good sized follicles, too. Your bfp is right around the corner.
rlk....sorry for your sadness in church. I can only really speak for me but I bet thats happened to most of us here. I had a similar outburst yesterday. Since I started my job 8 months ago, 4 women have announced they're pregnant! No-one was pregnant when I started and all of them fell pregnant around the time I had the miscarriage. Well, yesterday I worked with 3 of them all day and had to listen to them so joyfully discussing their pregnancies and scanning each others bellies. One is having twins, by the way. So, when I was about to go home last night one of the night nurses announced she was 10 weeks pregnant! Oh joy, I thought, another one to remind me of how unpregnant I am
I don't wish them any harm and I am glad they're happy but THIS SUCKS!!!!!!! Please God, let our turn be next. I think the hormones may have had something to do with this but I spent all evening crying hysterically and declaring how unfair this is. My poor DH, doesn't know what to do.
Anyway, on a more positive note.....only 4 days til my 6 day blasts come back to their rightful home. YAY. I'm praying my bootie off every second I get that they'll find a snug place in my lining to set up baby camp for 9 months.
OK, need to get rest, so exhausted and another very busy afternoon to come.
Hugs to all
Nikki

Hi everyone...
No good news from me. It was actually a horrible day. I had my u/s this morning. My RE said we would be looking for what looks like a black hole and checking that this is not an ectopic pregnancy. And there it was... the littlest black hole I've ever seen. I was surprised. The doctor sounded optimistic that my Hcg levels would be high enough because we could see this black hole... I think it was the sac, not sure. My hopes were getting higher. I started tearing up from nerves. Not sure whether to be happy or upset because we still didn't know for sure if this was a viable pregnancy until we got the blood work results. Then I got the call from my RE. My Hcg was only in the 800's. He said at this point it should be over 1000. He told me to stop my meds as he didn't want to put my body through all this. If it wasn't over 1000 by now, then it would not be a viable pregnancy. I was okay getting the news. Even talking to DH over the phone I was okay. But then as my day ended, I grew more sad. Just started thinking what if this never happens for me?? We have an appointment in the middle of May (that's the earliest I could get with my work schedule) to meet with the RE and talk about our options. He told me over the phone, that this means it wasn't a good embryo. Now I'm thinking, what do we do with the 3 that are frozen?? Those were of lesser quality than the 4 we transferred and if my better one that implanted didn't grow, then how could those 3?? So many questions...
RLK... good luck on your U/S. You've had very strong betas. I'm sure it will work out!!
Nicaliw... so glad you're going to do your transfer!! Take it easy afterwards to give those embies time to implant.
Neffi... glad you had a great weekend! Thanks for all your support!
Kimberley... That's great! 10 follicles!! Keep us posted on the ER!
Hope everyone else is doing well!
Sorry I don't have much more to say. I go from feeling okay to being too sad to say much else.

Ann d-- I am so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain every day. TIme does help with the healing, but its very difficult! I hope that you have plans to continue on this rollercoaster ride with all of us who did not have the outcome we were hoping for. I plan on beginning a May/June cycle thread that hopeful you can share on. Hopefully your RE will have positive things to say at your meeting in May. My RE looks at the chemical pregnancy as a positive thing! Stay Positive the best you can....day by day!

Hi all!
Kimberley30: Good luck tomorrow!!! I can't wait to hear how it all goes! 10 follicles--YAY!! I'm not sure what the average is, but 10 sounds really good to me!
Nicaliw: Wow, that does sound tough--to work in an environment full of pregnant women. I know exactly what you mean about feeling happy for them, but at the same time feeling angry, mad, envious, etc. But....you'll join the group at work soon!! You'll be PUPO in three days!!!
Neffi: I'm glad they were able to work your cycle around your vacation plans! What beach are you going to? I did Follistim and Menopur too--hopefully that will be the winning combo for you!
Ann D.: I'm so sorry about everything you've been through these past few weeks. I’m thinking of you and wish you didn’t have to go through this.
Suzhan and Angram: I’m not sure if you’re still lurking, but if you are we miss you and are thinking of you! I hope you both are hanging in there.
J&C: Anything new with you?
Nothing new here---just wanted to check-in on my girls!

Sorry again for being away, but I hate to bring down the thread with negatives....I'm trying to look on the bright side of things now and move forward, although I'm not exactly sure yet what moving forward means.
We had the D&C and laproscopy on Friday. Luckily no ectopic but there was some minor endometriosis and small 'adhesions', probably from some prior surgery or the c-section. They think that the pregnancy put my immune system into overdrive and it 'walled' off that area which was why there was so much fluid around my left ovary. So, they took that out and with 3 additional little holes in my tummy now and quite a few vicodin over the weekend, I made it through.
We have our follow-up appointment on Friday with my current RE and have to figure out where to head next. Because of my age, I suspect they'll say 'so what' that we got pg naturally and to hurry up to our next IVf cycle. We've also decided to get another opinion with another RE across town. My RE is good and has great outcomes for my age range, but the other one in town is really good too and also has good outcomes. So, we decided to get a second opinion. So, I'm probably off to a June or July cycle I figure....we'll see. I have put on quite a bit of weight and could use to lose 10 - 15 pounds before starting another IVF cycle I think.
Ann d - just wanted to say I was so saddened to see your post. I was really hoping it would be a better outcome and I can only imagine how you're feeling. Maybe we'll be in the next cycle thread together - I hope it's better news for us
rlk - can't wait to hear about your scan, I think it's coming soon - please KUP!
neffi - sending lots of sticky baby dust to you for your next cycle - memorial day is right around the corner and will be here before you know it! it's great you still get to keep your vacay plans!
nicali - Sending 'grow lining grow' vibes your way!
good luck with the FET!
Best wishes to everyone else! Take care ladies and lots of pma!

Hi ladies - sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been pretty busy the past few days. My girlfriends came in over the weekend and we had a great time visiting and my first margarita was wonderful My DH and I are heading out tomorrow morning for a week in Cabo San Lucas, so I'll catch up when we return and check in with everyone.
Ann - I'm sorry to hear about your loss and wish you the best moving forward. I'll be doing my 2nd IVF in May/June (hopefully), so I hope we're able to cycle together, if you go again.
I hope everyone else is well and I'll do personals when we return...I've got to go and pack for my trip. Take care!

Ann d, so sorry to hear your news. Its just so unfair sometimes. To be lifted up with so much hope then dropped down to earth again like that is one of the hardest things to endure. I wish it had turned out differently. Hugs.
Suzhann....sounds like you've been through it the past few days, too! I'm so sorry. I hope your physical end emotional pain start healing very soon.
nothing new for me, just a couple more days to wait. Not sure if I should be positive or neutral. You know, I don't really wanna get my hopes up again but I do want some hope......well either way, we'll find out 9 days after the transfer if it worked, thats just 11 days away. (always looking towards the next milestone..lol, haven't even reached this one yet)

Hi everone!
Thank you for your positive comments. You girls are wonderful. They really do help me feel better. I'm not sure when I get to start again, but I'm thinking the earliest will be July.
I have my ups and downs but right now I'm feeling good. DH and I are planning our trip for the summer and making little weekend trips here and there. DH is trying to keep me busy and getting us to enjoy each other. Isn't wonderful to have such supportive DH's??
I'm back to walking my fur-baby... Riley a

LOL... I clicked on "Submit" before I finished.
Anyway, I was TRYING to post an image of Riley. He's the cutest dog in the world. (I'm not being biased or anything. ) This past month I've gained a good 10-15 pounds from just "taking it easy" after my transfer. And Riley has gained weight, too! So... I think I'm going to start a blog on the "Riley Weight Loss Program", where I post his weight, measurements of his belly, take pictures of it and show his progress. Sorry... I know this sound insane, but those who know me, know it's in good fun. I always like hearing my friends' reactions to my obsession with my dog. They think I'm nuts; and I love it.
Well, gotta go take Riley for a walk with DH!
