Heart’s Desire – Finding Strength and Direction from God

[hrobinson]

Indie- I am praying that the Tylenol is helping and you are feeling a little better. Do not worry about your 3 embies. REmember, it is not good to get stressed over what we can no longer control. It is in God's hands what is going to happen, and remember, he knew before you went through this what the outcome would be.
I have a list of meds that the dr. said i could take while being "pupo". HOpefully I won't need any of it.

WEll, I went in for my appointment and teh dr. came out with a glum look. COuldn't decide if I should cry then or wait. WEll, only one of the eggs made it in my "good" vial. The one that made it was an 8 cell though
So we had a decision to make becuase he didn't like just transfering one...not good chances. So, we decided to thaw both my other eggs and see what happened.
Both of them made it so we transfered my great 8 cell, and then a 4 cell. NOt so good. The other embie was only a 1 cell, so they were going to keep an eye on it until Friday and if it made it they would freeze it again.
So, we did transfer two, and it was an easy transfer. I called my dad and told him that I officially conceived at 9:40 this morning. Just what every parent wants to know.

Anhow, I just pray that I am pregnant, and if not, that my last embie lasts until Friday. God knows what is going to happen. So, I just have to have faith.

I do my Beta on Monday, June 23....though they said that I could hpt on June 21, since that is supposed to be my beta, but nowhere will draw blood on a Saturday. So.....

Have laid in bed the whole day. Sweet dd keeps talking to my belly asking if her brother and sister are in there. So sweet.

If I figure out how to scan my pics in I will share them with you.

Okay enough babbling. Gonna go rest a little.

Hi Ladies,
just popping in to ask if anyone has heard from WaitingForMia ? We over at the October Mommies have been missing her, and I wondered if anyone over here has heard from her as it's been more than a month?

I hope you all are well.

Mia, we miss you- are you ok????

[sonu911]

Sonu Praise GOD!!! I know you are so ready....congrats on starting your cycle!!!

Indie-Praise Lord!!! Thanks.

Don't worry abt the flu much and as heather says...its not going to help you either but will surely add to the anxiety of 2ww. Keep up your PMA...and the thought that its working whatever may happen.

Sending lots of BFP dust your way!!

[sonu911]

Great news Sonu!

Hi ladies,

I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I have been watching but not posting much lately.

Loopie....I was wondering about Waitingfor Mia, too. I really hope se's doing OK, she's been missing a long time. Mia.....where are you?

Heather....I have everything crossed for a BFP. I just know you're gonna get it. Just relax and take good care of yourself. You know the routine.....you've been here before.

Sonu....so happy your turn is here too....there's so much going on here right now. I'll be watching your progress and waiting to read good news.

Indie....right now you are pregnant until proven otherwise. I will keep my fingers crossed and pray for you.

Prayers and hugs for all of you!

As for me.....my belly is growing a little and I feel pretty good. I check in on the baby every once in a while at work with the ultrasound. Yesterday she (or he) was kinda wiggling and had her hands up by her face. Her heart was beating away. I feel so blessed and not a day passes that I don't thank the Lord for the wonderful gift He has give us.

So, here's a little pregnancy insanity....I just bought New Kids on the Block tickets for November 14th. I used to totally love Joe McIntyre and my DH was in support so I just went ahead and bought them. By then I'll be 33 weeks pregnant! Oh my....I hope I don't end up on bed rest by then (I'll probably still go in a wheelchair if I have to).

Hugs

Nikki

Nikki Too funny, he's my favorite too. I haven't even heard though...have they written something new? I mean...surely they have LOL, it would be funny to get up there and sing 'hangin tough' to a bunch of 30 year old women LOL That's cool to think that you and I were chillin out to the same music back then....although I'll be 34 on Monday, so maybe a tad older I checked out their website and most of them look the same...a few aren't nearly as cute as they were as teens though...sad LOL

Well, I'm up with my cough....going to try and get some rest on the couch praying my little embryo's implant today like they are supposed to! I've been praying and doing visualization as well....although I usually drift off to sleep and then start hacking/coughing so that's crud. Maybe I'll be over this cold soon and I can praise God for still letting my babies implant even through the obstacles (cold, constipation, not being on bedrest and not having any embryo's leftover to freeze). He is good and he knows exactly what he is doing....I just have to let him do it and find peace in the outcome he gives me.

[nicaliw]

Hey Indie, we are very close in age, I just turned 34 on may 26th so we're about 3 weeks apart which means our mothers were pregnant the same time and youa nd I will be pregnant the same time. Sorry you're sick, thats no fun.
I think NKOTB have new material but will be singing old and new stuff a their concert. I'm actually excited.......it'll be funny to see all the women in their 30's sitting around swooning over their old teen idols. I wonder how many will bring their DH? My DH will probably come with me cause I can't find anyone who wants to spend $100 on seeing them.....I just don't understand, sounds totally worth it to me.

[IndieBlue]

Nikki LOL, yea my husband would NOT go with me LOL He's more of the old 80's rock....and I was more on the Pop side of things, so we are totally opposite on music.

Sounds fun though And that's neat that we'll be pregnant at the same time , today is supposed to be implantation day....I'm trying to analyze every little twinge....but then again I may have missed it because today has been busy. LOL Plus they could be a little late, since they were not 8 cells on day 3.

Hubby is getting really anxious, excited....??? about it. He rubs my tummy and talks to it....I'll be so torn up if I get a negative as I know now that he'll be just as hurt as me

Well, we're not going to even think that right now!!!! It's going to be a positive, why wouldn't it be? PMA!!!

[hrobinson]

Nicali- NKOTB WOW!!! I hope you and dh enjoy them. I haven't heard them in a long time. When i mentioned them to dh, he immediately broke out in "ohohohohoh hangin' tough". Kind of silly.
I can't say that I was even infatuated with any of them. I was weird like that.

Indie- How are you doing? have you POAS lately? I just read some girl POAS just 6 days after transfer and got a BFP. Got me to thinking maybe I should...but I am going to hold out until the sunday before my BETA....I think. I have really been reading into everything way too much. If I have a littel twinge, I think oh, something is going on...I must be pregnant. It is so different this time than last time. I just pray that it works.

As for MIA I think she is still out of town. I originally thought I would be in her neck of the woods this week and she had said that she would be out of town. I think she returns next week.

Hope- We have been missing you lately. Please let us know how you are doing. I hope you got to Sassy in time.

Sonu- How are you doing?

[IndieBlue]

Heather Well, since you asked LOL I'm doing better. No coughing at night now that I figured out how to calm that....snotty nose but nothing that I think is infection, I think it's just a cold. I've finally started getting a handle on the constipation issue....but I'm still going to get Colace today, since I forgot to get it the other day at the store.

And on your question about HPT....well I've been taking one every day LOL I started taking them after ER (yes I realize they weren't even back home yet) but I wanted to see the trigger leave my system and figure out how these test strips worked (they aren't sticks, just strips like the doctors office uses). They are supposed to detect HCG as low as 20mcg, which is 5 lower than the FRED test. So anyhow...yes, testing everyday.

I've gotten a negative since ET....my trigger was pretty much gone before ET even occured....but I still kept testing. I look really close at them everyday right at 5 minutes like the test says and everyday it's a control line but not even the faintest positive line. Well, today.....yes TODAY! I got the faintest POSITIVE!!!! I'm not getting my hopes up until I get one everyday and it gets darker...until Beta. But I think I am going to buy 2 different test today while I'm out to confirm on Sunday or Monday if these keep getting darker.

I'm AMAZED to say the least. I've been having cramping...but then again you always just think it's from constipation or coughing...etc, or worse...AF getting ready to show up in a week or so. Even the 'what to expect in a 3dt' list that I have says not to expect a HCG positive until the 8th day.....so again, AMAZED. Not sure if it means I had some early implanters or if all 3 took...LOL

Well, my spirits are higher today, but still being cautious until I get a positive going everyday LOL I'm so tempted to call my regular doctor and see if they'd order a Beta .....but I guess I can wait till Wednesday.

[IndieBlue]

Heather Hey, any news on the embryo that you were going to refreeze today? I pray he/she made it and got refrozen! Funny about your call to your dad too...none of my family knows.

[nicaliw]

Indie...YAY! I understand you being cautious so early on but thats fantastic news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!
