Nicaliw: Glad to hear you're doing well! Will you have a third Beta or do they stop at 2? At our clinic, we had to do 3--I'm not sure why?!? May 14th will be here before you know it, but I know the wait is torture! Nothing really new here. I have an u/s tomorrow, so I'm feeling a bit nervous and anxious (as usual!).

Cocosmomma: Good luck today!! Can't wait to hear the good news!

Kimberley: Yes, yes. There will be a baby in your belly. :wink:

Hi to everyone else. Anyone else out there? Our poor little thread is dwindling--which is to be expected. So sad--I'm not a big fan of change.

Rlk....yes, the thread is slowly withering away :( I guess thas ok since its a march/april thred. Oh well. I don't have another beta. i'm Ok with that, its one less thing to worry about and ignorance is bliss. I can understand your nerves about your ultrasound, I know I'll be a bag of nerves too. Good luck! It'll be so amazing to see your little one.

Cocoa....any news yet?

Sorry guys, am back now. Kimberley I am so sorry to hear your news, sending a big hug your way!

I wasn't sure when I tested last Monday as I only had a faint line but it's a definite BFP. Have a scan booked for 8 May.

Hey!

Sorry I havent been around! I really took my chemical hard. I have to still wait to start my next cycle, but only three more weeks! I have been reading, Im very happy to hear of the BFPs. Nicaliw...YAY!!! Rlk1-- I really hope your little one catches up! I will continue to read, but I started the MAY/JUNE thread....I have my baseline scheduled for 5/23. Wish me luck! I will try to keep up with your progress! Cant wait to hear your news with each u/s. Is anyone finding out the sex??

Neffi: It's so good to hear from you, old pal!! No need to apologize for not being around--you went through a lot and deserved time for yourself. I've been reading up on you on your new thread. I'll be crashing it to root you on when you get closer to your ER!! Only three more weeks until you start stimming? YAY!! You'll do awesome this time--it's your turn for a BFP!! Thanks for your support about my little runt. So far he/she is being stubborn and is still measuring small. I'm hoping that it's just a biological difference and not something serious. I have an appointment with a high risk ob-gyn on the 14th to discuss the size discrepancy.

I hope all of the rest of you are doing well. I know this thread is dwindling and that I should join a new thread--but I haven't had the heart. You guys spoiled me and I'm worried that I won't find such great people on a new thread! :wink:

Hey Neffi welcome back, glad to see you feeling positive and moving on to the next (hopefully final) cycle. it'll be here before you know it.
Thanks for the well wishes! AS far as finding out the sex.....YES! I'm so much of a shopper that I can't wait to buy little girl or boy outfits, neutral baby clothes aren't nearly as exciting to shop for. That won't be for a while though cause they can't usually see the sex on US until around 20 weeks, right?

Nicaliw: I've been reading up on your posts on other threads and it sounds like things are better. Are you doing okay? How scary. Just to give you some reassurance, I had to have a scan at 5 weeks and then again at 5 weeks and 2 days because of my OHSS (they had to monitor all of the fluid in my abdomen). They did not detect a heart beat either time (just a gestational sac and a yolk sac). Oh, and not to scare you, but we only saw one gestational sac and one yolk sac at each of those scans. But....at my 6 week and 3 day scan...TWINS. So...you're not out of the woods yet as far as just having one baby! :wink:

Please keep us updated with how you are feeling. I'm thinking of you!!

Rlk, thanks for thinking of me. I am doing OK, I'm terrified of miscarrying but there's nothing more I can do to stop it. Every twinge or ache I get I think I'm going to start cramping and every time I go to the bathroom I dread looking at the TP. I don't know if I'll feel much better until my ultrasound and see a heartbeat. I really don't think I'm going to make it that far, though, I am still having some mild cramps. I have to prepare myself for the worst, I know it sounds negative, but I have dealt with so much dissapointment......I know lots of us have.
