I just had a terrible, terrible scare! I was home eating some lunch earlier and got up to get something to drink....when I went to sit back down I saw a huge blood stain on the chair. :shock: I almost lost it! I went rushing upstairs yelling for DH to take me to the ER. When I went to the bathroom, there was so much blood that had soaked thru my undies and my sweats. I quickly got cleaned up, changed my clothes and DH and I rushed off to the ER. I tried to call my nurse on the way, but got her voicemail that she's on leave until Mon. I tried to reach my doctor, but the clinic doesn't answer their phones during lunch time. So, I called their emergency number, but kept losing the call, because we ran into a dead area (I live in the country). When I was finally able to get thru and stay on the line, they connected me to the clinic and they told me not to go to the ER, but to come to the clinic. The clinic is a 40min drive from where I live, so DH turned around and started speeding like crazy. I was so emotional and scared.....emotional, because I didn't know why I was bleeding and scared because DH was driving so darn fast. To add to my worries, we ran into Fri afternoon traffic (which was stop and go) and a sudden thunderstorm (which made it difficult to see). By the time we reached the clinic, the bleeding had stopped. I had an ultrasound with a different doctor and we still saw a healthy little bean with a strong heartbeat. I was so relieved and thanking God. However, the doctor also saw a sac behind my little bean, which had blood around it. Since I had 3 embies transferred, the doctor said that the sac was probably one of the embies that implanted, but didn't make it. :( He said it was good that the bleeding stopped and that I still have a healthy pregnancy, but to continue to take it easy until I'm beyond the first trimester. Whew, this experience has truly taken a lot out of me today. DH had to keep reassuring me that everything is gonna be fine. I'm just thankful that my little bean is still going strong.

AdsGirl - My name is what I am.....IMBlessed! :wink:

Have a great weekend ladies.

MzTia - I'm so sorry about your negative beta. I'm glad that you and DH have already planned to try again. Three months sounds like a long time, but it'll be here before you know it AND you can use the time to get yourself physically and mentally prepared for the game again. I only did acupuncture once and it was the day before my transfer. I think it truly helped me with this cycle. Good luck!

IMBlessed - OMG, I was freaking out just reading your post...couldn't wait to get to the part where you were ok!!! What a terrible scare, but I'm so relieved everything is good and your little bean is doing great. Take care of yourself and rest this weekend.

cwrj00 - Wow, I cannot believe your RE doesn't do beta's and makes you wait it out..and I thought the 2ww was bad! I'm happy to hear you've made it past the scary point of last time, that is great news.

MzTia - I'm sorry it was confirmed negative, but you sound like you have a healthy outlook and I wish you and DH the best in your upcoming cycle. Take good care of eachother.

Dakota - Ok, so I just got back from the grocery store and I caved..I'm sort of dissapointed in myself. The wait is totally killing me and I've compleley made myself sick today with worry, so I hope POAS helps me :) I'm going to wait until in the morning, which will be 13dpo. I hope it's great news!!!

babygurlsolages - So sorry to hear your sad news... AF arrived for me a day early after my last BFN and I've heard it starts pretty quickly for most. Mine was extremely heavy, which is very rare for me. My doc had me wait one full cycle, then I got to start BCP's the following cycle. Good luck to you!

mztia, I'm very sorry to hear your BFN. I know how much it hurts, even if you are expecting it. Take time and it will get better - and next time will be the charm. Good luck.

Dakota, your posts make me laugh!! You have a great way with words! :D That is so cool about the farm u've bought - will you be planning on farming too then??

ImBlessed - so glad that it was okay! Man you must have been going out of your mind on the way to the clinic. kudos to your DH for getting you there in one piece with all that traffic and weather, and emotions!


Adsgirl - what is the time difference with Wisconsin and Florida?? I'm in Florida and I'll be at the clinic at 9.30 am for a 10.00am transfer (skippee!!!!)
We still had 4 growing this morning, all grade 1 embies, but one 2 cell and the others were 4 cell. Can't wait to hear how they are doing tomorrow, and to get hopefully at least 2 of them back where they belong. Good luck to you tomorrow too, I'll be thinking of you and your embies x

angram, good luck with the POAS! will you last till the morning? :lol:

My screen name is just, my name, and then some numbers from my birthday..... :)

jude7702 - Good luck with ET tomorrow!! I would love to POAS right now, but worried that I've gone too many times today and drank too much water. I'm having AF type cramps today/tonight, which is really concerning me. I've been cramping all week, but not like the one's I'm having right now. DH is worried sick too, he just doesn't want to see me dissapointed again.

Adsgirl - Good luck to you tomorrow morning as well, 2 5day embies will be excellent!!

Angram - thanks.
Hoping for a big ole line for you tomorrow. Remember, all those people with BFPs who posted about cramps and thought it was AF, and really it was a BFP symptom. The meds really mess it all around so we don't know whats going on. GL tomorrow. How many days past transfer are you??

jude7702 - ER was on 6/15, ET on 6/18, so I'm 12 days past ovulation. I'm just laying on the floor in my office staring at the ceiling and waiting for time to pass, so obviously my husband thinks I'm insane. He started making up a rap song about me being a basket case, was too funny. I think I may POAS tonight, but going to have to wait a few hours. I'm serious when I say I'm getting crazier by the moment :)

IMblessed - Man you really are blessed. You had my heart racing throughout your post. I first glanced through the faces to see if a happy face was at the end and you had me worried because there wasn't one. :) I'm glad everything is o.k. for you little bean.

MzTia - sorry this wasn't the cycle for you. Good luck for your next. After my ectopic I had to wait to full cycles and hated waiting but didn't seem to drag too much.

jude7702 and Adsgirl - Good luck tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you two!!

Well, I had to do my first PIO shot to myself tonight. :x My DH had a poker game and is still not back. I didn't want the shot to be to late so just went for it. I kept freaking myself out for about 20 min. I kept holding my breath and was afraid I was going to pass out. :roll: Finally just did it and it didn't even hurt!! :) Then I started walking around like I was cool or something 8) I'm such a dork. Can't wait for DH to get back to doing them.

MzTia I'm so sorry! The Aug/Sept board will be busy. In answer to your question on AP. I'm mostly doing twice a week....sometimes once if I'm away. I want to go full out though, and do all I can. Once is probably good though.

Imblessed Wow...that's scary. But so glad you have a healthy bean in there...yeah!!

Imblessed- OMG!!!! My heart was beating out of my chest reading your story. I thought I was going to need life support, I cant imagine how you were feeling. Good golly!!! I am so glad all is well and your little bean is still going strong. You so picked a right user name!!!

Angram- Holy Crap girl!!!!! I did a "tony the tiger" when I read your BFP and DH looked at me like I was a crazy girl (well, I am). OMG, I am so freaking excited!!! Was the stick calling your name? "pee on me...pee on me". I cant wait to hear what your numbers are tomorrow!

Jude- Best of luck tomorrow on your ET. I would love to farm my land!! I want to be able to grow all of my own stuff. I have a little bit of property in GA, but the air quality is so bad here that I dont bother, plus we have alot of snakes!!

Adsgirl- I love everything about ND, even the snow. We live in GA and I miss the snow so!! I love that whole area, SD, ND, CO, MT. We go to Lake Sakakawea every year in ND for 2 weeks. Its such a lovely lake. Its such a simpliar life style. Not evey one is out of money and its an easier way of living. More family oriented. We just love it, its so peacefull!!!

turtles- You go girl!!! I would have passed out!! I may as I am going to have to give myself mine in a few weeks. Hope your feeling well!!

We went to the drive-in last night and I fell asleep suring the 2nd movie and slept the whole time!! I woke up on the way home with really bad cramps. I know that cramps are normal, but these were really intense like my hips were being ripped apart. It is realy scarey. I am still cramping this morning, but not as bad as last night. This has just got me into a nervous wreck!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!!
