HI ladies,

I hope that those of you who have gotten some sad news are still hopeful and hanging in there. Most of us have been exactly where you are, and we all know how deeply hard this is. We are all here for you, thinking of you, and praying that you will soon find the strength you need to give it another go.

I'm short on time this am, but I'll try to update our list so that we can still keep track of everything. Has anyone officially heard from Onemorebaby or rn2005? I"m hoping that no news is good news!

Anj and tortilla -i am very sorry for you and dh. I know how tough it is. This is our 2nd cycle and am so hoping it works this time but have been told that the avg person takes 3. You know where to find me if you want to chat Sending biggggg hugs

[onemorebaby]

Hey Ya'll! Thanks for thinking of me. My beta was supposed to be yesterday, but I couldn't make it do to scheduling issues on my part. I am going in this morning. I should have an update for you this afternoon.

After the bfn, I am realistic... but still praying.

Tortillachip... I am so sorry. I was so hoping for better news from you.

Hugs, and good luck to all the other's gettting betas today!

[jharris12]

Good morning. Today is the day I get to hear my beta! I took my final HPT this morning! It was an EPT Certainty digital test, and a big PREGNANT showed up!! Today is going to take forever!!

DCDiva, onemorebaby: Best of luck to you both today!! Nickyb, do you still have your beta today?

rn2005: Any news? Thinking about you.

Hopeful In SD: Congrats again on a wonderful beta #!!

elisabethski: That is great that you got another +ive HPT!!

sweetmomi: Yeah, it's way too early for you to test. Best time is only a day or 2 before your beta. Good luck!

tortillaand Meg: I am so sorry about your news. I'm glad you will be able to get started again soon though. Most women don't get PG on their first try, so I am sure the 2nd time will be the charm. Tortilla, hope you enjoyed time with DH and your Pinot!

anj: That sucks that you got another BFN HPT. You know I'm here for you.

antoak: Enjoy your busy weekend!

I will post my news sometime today! I am guessing I will hear from them between 2-3, then I have to go tell DH, then call a few other people that will be awaiting the news, and then I will finally get a chance to update you all, and check on DCDivaand nicky. Baby wishes to everybody!!

[kim14]

yeah!!!!! Jharris - cant wait to come home later and check my email to hear all the bfps!!! I continue to use hpts like a mad woman - BFPs - so I am hopeful for mon

[tortillachip]

Hi all,
Thanks for all your warm thoughts. I appreciate it. Hubby and I snuggled and talked last night and we're ready to start this process over again. I'm going to see my Mom today and talk, which is GREAT because she is a Psychologist and she gives me all the underlying insights I don't see. Good luck to all of you who have BETAs today. Keep us posted.
Gotta run for now...

[rn2005]

Hello ladies! It took me about an hour to read all of the pages and updates that I missed with being away on vacation. So much has happened....what a week! Congrats to all the BFPs....and my heart goes out to those that got BFNs. I am so sorry....we have been through so much these past few weeks, I know how disappointing it is.

Well, yesterday was our Beta...we got a BFP!!! DH and I are very excited!!! We go in on saturday for the second one, hoping the numbers are going up. I am cautiously excited....we tested 9 days post 5dt...this seems earlier than most of you? My numbers were a little on the lower end of normal so I am a bit nervous. Dr said she has seen people with much lower still go on to have successful pregnancies and she is not worried....I am though! I will keep you all updated.

[nickyb73]

Just wanted to update everyone. I just heard from the RE's office and it is a BFN. Was expecting it and is still hard to accept. I think that I will take some time off and maybe try again in a few months.

Nicky

[Hopeful in SD]

Hi rn2005: My 1st cycle I did a 5dt and tested 11 days after and they wanted me at or over 100. You are two days ahead of that, so if yours doubles in the next 2 days I would think you are doing great.

[jharris12]

Good afternoon ladies!!

First off, Congrats to you rn2005!! I am so happy for you! Sounds like a perfect vacation!!!

nickyb, I am so sorry. I was the same way last cycle, even though I was prepared, hearing it is hard to take. Take care of yourself, your time will come.

Tortilla: I hope your visit with your mom is helpful. Talking is always so therapuetic.

onemorebaby, dcdiva, any news yet??

OK, so for me, I just got the call, and it's a BFP!!! My level is only 72, but that doesn't seem too bad. I go back in Sunday and then Tuesday to check my numbers increasing. I can stop taking the Estrace, and I continue my PIO until I run out, then switch to Prometruim, so hopefully only another week or so with my shots!! My DH wants to wait until we get home and tell my DS the news first before we tell anyone else. The wait to spread the word is going to be hard! But I had to tell you ladies!! Thank you all for everything! Baby dust to all!!

[onemorebaby]

Not good news. My beta was zero. Even though my hpt prepared me, I am still crushed. This is harder than any other bfn I have had.

[Hopeful in SD]

onemorebaby: I am sooo sorry to hear your news. So many of us have been there and know the feelings that come with those BFNs. Know that I am thinking of you. Do what you need to do this weekend to take care of yourself...drink some wine, go shopping, or simply cry it out. I send hugs your way.

Nickyb: Sorry to hear your news also. I'm glad you are looking to the future. Enjoy the rest of summer and come back strong in few months.
