Hi everyone-
Mel- I hope Yellow and I can indeed turn the luck around here- that would be awesome! Glad you're enjoying your several days off this week- that sounds like a good deal about the way the holidays fell- have a glass of wine for me!!!!
Yellow- I'm definitely excited and nervous too! Just wanting the time to speed up to tomorrow- my transfer is at noon. And they already told me that beta day will be July 15th. I so hope this will be the time for us both- thinking of you and hoping all goes well for you tomorrow!!! Good luck with your move too! I grew up closer to Chicago but now live way out northwest in IL- almost in Wisconsin...I guess you get used to the suburban/country life- it's nice- good luck!
Joyanna- How are you? Thanks for your well wishes. Do you have a date yet for this month for your ER?
Kim- I just love that PUPO and I will enjoy every minute of it!! What meds are you on now? Your FET is July 30, right? Oh my bad, it's right there on the list Yellow made- thanks Yellow!
Beth & Hrobinson- Thinking of you both- we're all here for you.
Any updates from the other #2 gals that we haven't heard from in a long time????!!!!!
I'll check in by Saturday probably and let you all know how tomorrow goes.
Take care all, Laura
Anyone else trying for #2...
Melo, enjoy your time off. Have a glass of wine for me, too!
Laura, good luck to you tomorrow! I'll be thinking about you. I'm getting more nervous. My sister is here to help with DD tomorrow. My transfer is at 9:30. I'm not sure when my beta is. I'll let you know when I find out. Thanks for the well wishes on the move. Getting nervous about that, too. But, I can't wait to have a yard and more space.
It'll be good.
You guys have all been awesome. I feel so lucky to be part of this group.

Yellow and Laura- Didn't even realize today was the 3rd....all day long thought it was the 2nd.
You have both been so supportive of everything that I went through. and I thank you for that.
I pray that God has big things planned for the both of you. Enjoy being Pupo and let us know how things are going.

Well I definitely didn't turn around the luck around for the #2 gals so I sure hope Yellow did today!! Unfortunately we didn't even get to do our transfer 
The two embies we had left didn't make it- they made it but were too degraded to transfer (they were blasts frozen on day 7)...I'm feeling really gutted- I didn't even prepare myself at all for this possibility so it's really hard to take...I'm not sure if we are for sure done for good but we're done for a while...plan to enjoy rest of the summer with ds- we are so very blessed to have him...thanks all for your support and good wishes...Laura

Laura- I am so sorry. Like all the other girls, I never thought of the possibility of the embies not making it through thaw. Big cyber hug from me. Give ds lots of hugs and Praise God for him.
As for me.....well, I have started looking into adoption. I mention it to dh about it yesterday, but he didn't really say anything. It is rather expensive, and more than we can afford at the moment. So, I am going to try waiting until next summer and get the paperwork rolling. We will see. DD just really wants a sibling....and I really want more kids. So, I pray that God will provide us with the funds, and then with a little one.
Yellow- How did things go for you yesterday?

laura, I'm so sorry. I was thinking about you yesterday. I'm so sorry things didn't work out better. Hugs and more hugs. Kisses for your DS. I hope you try again, too. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
hrobinson, that's really cool that you've started looking into adoption. It's always in the back of my mind. I've heard it's expensive. Let me know if you learn any useful bits of information.
As for me, we transfered 2 embryos yesterday -- an 8 cell and a 5 cell. They were both frozen at one cell. (I think my clinic is the only one I know of that does it that way.) They were both grade 5. I was feeling really good about it yesterday. I rested all day. Last night dd woke up around 1 which she NEVER does. I went in there and picked her up without thinking. Oops! I'm trying not to stress about it. I'm feeling less optimistic today -- such is the 2ww roller coaster. Tomorrow, hopefully, I'll be all smiles again.
Hope the luck gets turned around for all of us!

Hi everyone!
Yellow, good luck with your 2ww, I am hoping for the best!
Hrobinson, good luck with your adoption journey. I hope it all works out for you. You are right, the 2nd thing I did was have a great big cup of coffee!!! Yum! (The first thing I did, was toss DD in the air, which she LOVES!)
Laura, again, I am sorry to hear your news. No matter what happens, you are never prepared for the the bad news.
Mel, what a horrible time you have had, I am so sorry you went through all of that.
as for me, We are done with our IVF tries. I think once I let it sink in, it will be ok. I am so blessed to have DD, and I will never forget that! We are just going to spoil her!! lol!
Enjoy your summer everyone!

Beth- Good to hear from you. We're too trying to decide if we are done but for now I just think we're keeping everything on the back burner- we'll decide eventually if this is it or if we'll do one more fresh cycle. I want to forget about it all for the rest of the summer and just spend time spoiling (like you said) our ds. Enjoy your summer with dd. I can add in with you and hrobinson that I had 2 cups of coffee that Thursday evening that our transfer was cancelled and then I couldn't fall asleep for like 3 hours that night!!!
Yellow- How are you doing? Are you making it through the wait- when's your beta?? So glad that your transfer went well- I will be hoping and praying for you to get a bfp!!
hrobinson- We considered adoption before our ds and then switched gears but I do sometimes think that it would be a possibility for us again too. It would be nice to know that it would definitely end in #2- best wishes with this journey to you and your family.
And thank you to all of you for all your kinds words and support- you all are the best! I will still be hanging around here on this board I think- I can't seem to give it up and I'm so hoping for good things for everyone!!
Take care, Laura

Ladies- I had to laugh at all of us going for our coffee once we got our BFN. I am doing much better since 2weeks have past since the bad news. I told dh about a week ago that I wanted to adopt, but he really didn't respond. So, I think I will just start saving our money and bring it right back up at Christmas or so. I just feel in my heart that I am meant to have at least one more child.
yellow- I am really rooting for you. I am hoping that at least someone on our thread can get a BFP. Hope it all works out well for you.
