April/May Cycle Buddies 2008

[sameera]

Well thank you ladies for all the kind words 'm really happy knowing i am pregnant and I have my baby growing inside of me!!!

I go back in 2 weeks for another u/s - Can't wait!!!

Turtles - I'm sorry about your cycle but hopefully next will work out for you! don't give up hope.

Valerie - I'm sorry - I really hope everything works out for you..

Twingle - Well you still have a beta scheduled for friday and you never know - things might change by then. hang in there and we are here for you!!

Hi Everyone,


Turtles - Sorry for your canceled cycle. I had the same issue with my last cycle. I figured everything would go as plan and then was kind of shocked when it was canceled. You have been through a lot and defiantly deserve to have a child. Cheers to eating chocolate, taking long hot baths and drinking a little now and then. Both of of can now enjoy this for another month or so.

Valerie - Sorry about your loss, was this your first cycle?

Mommytwingle - Hoping that your last beta was a fluke and the next to be better. I think there was a girl on one of the other boards that had a really low beta and they told her to go off her meds. She didn't and requested another beta and I think now she is PG with twins. The fat lady might not be singing just yet.

Sameera - Congrats on the little heart beat. Maybe next time you will see two and get your wish of twins.

Yellow- looks like you and I are in the same boat and waiting for AF. I know she will show up when I least want her to.

JennTiff - Good luck on your Beta on Sunday.

Jharris - Congrats on you ER, enjoy the bed rest.

chelly - I think you might have a whole football team in there.

DrJen - GOOD LUCK on your BETA tomorrow.


For me I am just kind of hanging out here waiting for AF to come. It better be here by Saturday so I don't have to push off my next schedule. I have been spotting since last Friday so I wish it would just get here so I can be done with it.


Chris

[MommyTwingle]

Wow, Chris, I'd love to talk to her!

[chelly180]

twingle- I would stay on the meds until the beta on friday. like chris said, so embies are just slow to start off with! Don't give up hope until you know for sure! We are all pulling for you girlfriend!

sameera- I know its crazy to think you are already '7' weeks...I think i am technically at 5 weeks, my EDD is Jan 13. Wow, so you may have 2 afterall?? Isn't that exciting?! Congratulation on seeing the heartbeat. I think I read somewhere that sometimes you can't distinguish the 2 heartbeats early on b/c one is hiding the other....so another 2ww!!

valerie- I am not even scheduled for a 3rd beta...they just said to schedule the sono for 2 weeks. Kudos to such a positive attitude!! Your words are so encouraging for all of us!!

sdtrying- hopefully one of these days coming up you will see that extra pink line magically appear!! Hey, if you already have them, might as well use them....wouldn't want to waste money!

jharris- I cramped really bad after ER and all through my 2ww. It was awful, I felt like my uterus was being crushed. Don't worry...the nurse told me it is the ovaries and she said you will feel it more when you are active. She said you can put heat until your transfer, but not after the transfer b/c you don't want to 'cook' your embies! I'm not going to lie, the PIO sucks...my ass is always sore like someone punched me. I put ice for about 20 min before, but now that I've been doing it for 3 weeks it seems like there is scar tissue from going back to the same place. Just make sure to ice the crap out of it and have DH rub really hard afterward to help distribute the oil.

turtle- I'm sorry to hear that they cancelled your cycle. At least your RE is thoughtful and is trying to save you time & money. I would die for a glass of wine or better yet, a coffee! I swore off caffeine during IVF (except for the occasional chocolate) and I am jonesing for a fix! Drink a glass for me!

chris- DH wants boys b/c he wants to start his own basketball team. He is such a dork...I told him b/c he wants a son so bad, we will have all girls. I hope you and yellow start AF soon!!

drjen- tomorrow is the big day!!!! Let's all pray for Jenny!

God Bless
Michele

MommyTwingle - I am pretty sure her login was Cornybaby. If I remember right it was the Feb/March thread. I read it awhile back so I don't know for sure it this is correct. I am also not for sure how low here beta.


Chris

[MommyTwingle]

Thanks; I actually just found one. Not sure if it's the same girl, but same story. My doubling time is 5.3 days; I don't think I've found anybody's whose is worse.

[jharris12]

Good afternoon ladies. Well I made it back to work today after my ER yesterday. I was a little crampy this morning, but Tylenol seems to be helping. And since my ET may be Monday, I didn't want to be out today if I didn't have to. I won't know my fert report or my ET day/time until they call me tomorrow! Another wait!!

turtles: I am so glad to see how positive you have been trhough this whole cycle. And to see that your RE is already planning your next protocol is great! Hang in there, your time is coming! And good luck on your project!

JennTiff: Thanks. I'm feeling better today. The Tylenol is really helping with the cramps!

Chris: Thanks. The bed rest was nice yesterday, but I'm back at work today. I hope AF shows up for you soon!

MommyTwingle: Good luck to you tomorrow on your beta. Anything is possible!

chelly: I iced mine for about 10-15 minutes before the shot, and it actually wasn't bad at all. It's a little sore today, but nothing major. I will get the DH to massage it tonight and see if that helps, and maybe try the heating pad on it, too!

To everyone else, I hope you are all doing great!!

Hi Ladies. This will be short. I am at work and my staff is in and out of my office constantly. I caved last night and POAS. The line was moderately dark, but not as dark as the control. I was crying with cautious joy. I have never seen a line other than the control in the past. I have my beta tomorrow morning. I am finding it difficult to concentrate on work. Thanks for the prayers. I'll catch up with everyone tonight. Jenny

[sameera]

Jharris - glad to hear you are doing well after ET. Hopefully they will call you soon!! Yay it's almost over for you

Turtles - I'm so happy to know you guys are already working on towards your protocol. Hope it works out for you guys!

Jenntiff - How are you feeling?

Chris - Hopefully you will get your AF soon - and thanks for the wishes I am thrilled either way ONE or TWO!!

Chelly - as soon as i got home after my u/s I went online googled and did all my research apparently it's very common for the second sac to not show anything and usually by 9weeks or so they can tell for sure if it has the heartbeat or not...

I am not sweating and worrying about it. If it's meant to be It will happen if not I still have my miracle baby!!!

At first I couldn't get pregnant was struggling with pain of IF and now that I am pregnant I dont think i can be too picky!!
So i am more grateful that I am blessed even with one I'm very happy!!

Mommytwingle - Hope everything goes well for you!

Hope everyone else is doing great!!!

Sameera

Jenny, that's great!! We will all be cautiously joyous with you!! Good luck on your beta tomorrow! Can't wait to hear your numbers!!

DrJen- your message was short--- BUT VERY SWEET!!!!!
You really played down the line there, come one! "the line was moderately dark" DEAR GOODNESS GIRL- ITS A LINE, HAVE A PARTY !!!!!!!

I'm so excited to hear your beta results and you too can join all the other golden girls!

[heekinje]

Hey everyone -

I haven't posted in quite a while - but I've been here checking up on all of you! I had my u/s today and we are in the exact same boat as Sammera (congrats, btw!!!). We have one distinct sac with a very strong heartbeat and another smaller sac that doesn't show much of anything. My RE said that it's very unlikely it will amount to anything but that we'll know for sure in 2 weeks at our next scan. I'm so relieved to see a hearbeat - I was up all night worrying that something would be wrong. Thanks so much for your past well wishes! I can't wait to see how things end up for all of you!!

Good luck to you all - your in my prayers.

Jayne

[MommyTwingle]

Yeah Jenny!

[valerie68]

Dr Jen: That's fantastic news ! We can't wait to hear what your beta is.
We're thinking about you.

Twingle: I hope you have not stopped your meds. Don't give up until it's officially over. If you don't have any spotting or bleeding, keep believing that everything will be fine. I also found a girl who had low betas and went on to be pregnant and it gave me hope! Don't give up. We'll anxiously wait to hear your news tomorrow.

Sameera: I also read that it happens that they see two sacs but can't see the second one very well and then later it turns out that there is a second heartbeat. I hope you're one of those. But one way or another you've hit the jackpot !

SDtrying: Have you POAS again. I'm sure you have! Any line showing up yet !

I have a very busy weekend starting tomorrow but I'll check to see how everybody is doing.
You're all in my thoughts ...unfortunately I have to go...
Hugs to all of you

Valerie
