misfixit - Good luck on ER on Thursday. Hope you have some great eggs that want to fertilize.

Kas - That would be a really tough 7 months or so to wait to do another cycle, especially with low ovarian reserve. I feel that I am totally out of time because of my age. I know there are a lot of older ladies that still get PG but it still seems that my clock is winding down.

TooBee -You are correct this is all of to mother nature and the fertility gods for this to work. I know I am over weight and that always lingers in the back of my mind about my infertility. My RE never has said anything about it which I would think she would if she thought it would be a problem. If this cycle doesn't work, I think I am going to try and lose some weight. Maybe even do AP if I can find some extra money. Are you going to POAS again or just wait for your Beta?

Chris~ Don't kid yourself about not being able to have AF while on PIO! I was miscarrying while on the progesterone. I don't know why they tell us it's not possible because it's not only me but other women as well. Do you get AF cramps that much in advance of your AF? I sure don't. I used get them after it starts.
Basically I think you have a good chance of being prego!!
I'm sorry we are all having a bad day today. That's why this board is s great because we can just talk about it and it's ok.

lynniecat~ I agree that you are strong to be doing this away from DH. Don't give up on this cycle...remember that I got prego with 2 eggs the last cycle! You can do it too! :D

Toobee~ I'm thinking about you and really hoping that you get your BFP!!! I hope your PMA has not left you today...this journey is really a good lesson about letting go! A tough one to master for sure!

Kas~ Thinking about you and I hope you prove these evil hpts wrong. :D Fingers and toes crossed for you!

I'm going to AP in a little bit...catch you later!

Sticky, super gluey baby dust to all!

Thanks for thinking about me.. :P .But my PMA is really pretty good even though I POAS and got a BFN 6dp5dt. :roll: But I am in this until I have a baby, so I may have lost a bit of confidence in this cycle, But I have not lost confidence in my dream of having a baby.

Its all good..and I am sill glad I POAS, even though I got a BFN. :lol:

Everything sound sgood with you...woo hoo. Sounds like you got a bun in the oven..maybe two :lol:

Hi Girls

I am also feeling down today. I am having a hard time keeping my PMA. I still have no symptoms. I know a lot of people don't have them and still get pregnant. I just wish I felt something. I haven't had any twinges or cramps in days. Today is 5dp5dt. As along as the hurricane doesn't hit I am getting my beta test done on Sat.

I hope those of you testing today good BFP's :D

A BFN. Both DH and I are devastated. :( I have never seen DH so upset about anything. We had planned in advance that we would take a break after this one. I really appreciate everyone's support and good luck to everyone. Take care.

Bell I am so sorry things didn't work out this cycle. Have a big glass of wine and grieve. Big hugs to you and your DH. How many frosties do you have left? Good luck after your break. Take care of yourself.

kas - I really hope you get a BFP so you don't have to wait for your DH insurance to kick in. A few more days till your Beta.

Chris
- I am glad you have your PMA back. It is hard with this roller coaster of emotions. I know Fri. seems to be taking forever to get here, but will be here soon.

Valerie
- Hope AP went well. Have a relaxing week off.

toobee- When is your beta? Sounds like your PMA is in full force.

Well, I took another cheap test and got a faint line so I went to the store and bought an EPT and a First response digital. Both were positive!! :D:D I like the digital as it says yes and you don't have to try to interpret the line. I have a few more tests I will probably take in the morning. :wink: I go in for beta at 3pm tomorrow. I have so much to do by Thursday. I have to finish last weeks hw, write a 2-3 paper, get the beta test and pack. It just makes me tired thinking about it. Well, off to start dinner. Hope everyone gets the PMA back.

Hello ladies,

Well back to work after after the long weekend.

Bell- I am so sorry to hear that this cycle didn't work out. I think a break sounds like a great ides. Give yourself time to get your body back in order then you will be all fresh and ready for that BFP.

Good luck tomorrow Shellbell. Kate, and turtles. Congrats are already in order for Turtles WOOHOOO and on a digital that is fantastic.

So many BETA's this week I hope all you ladies ca just hold onto that PMA just a few more days, I know how terribly difficult it is int he second week. I am here cheeering for lots of BFP's

I had my first u/s since starting stims. Last cycle I had 5-15mm's on day 6. This time it is a bit better. I have 1-15, and 7 between 10-13, 2-9's and 2-7's. So looks like I am going for 8 nice strong eggs. Keeping fingers and toes crossed. Last time we did not have a good percent of mature or fertilized so hoping for better. And my E2 was 641 not sure if that is good or not but seems ok to me.

Have a great evening!!

hi bell and other ladies..although i don't post very often..i've started following this thread again.

bell- i'm so sorry about your bfn. my heart goes out to you as well, and your dh too. when we had our m/c i'd never seen my husband so upset. that's was so hard for me to see him like that. i think he was more shocked than me. i pray that you don't lose hope. the world needs more amazing parents who will cherish having children.

my mom gave me an amazing card when i m/c'd- it said "hope abides quietly in our souls, and whispers comfort when we need it most". i wish you and the other beautiful ladies that have had heartbreaking news some peace and hope during this time.

Well I got up this morning and took another hpt and it was neg. So I just couldn't take it anymore and called to do my beta today instead of tomorrow. It was a BFN. :cry: I guess we will just start over again. I have to wait another 2 weeks just to see my RE. I don't know what the plan is going to be yet.

It is hard enough as it is since I am supposed to have a 1 month old son right now. When we were out shopping we kept seeing all the halloween stuff and it was really depressing for dh and I because we were so looking forward to the holidays this year with our little one. I thought at least if we were pregnant again it would make things easier. But I guess we are just not supposed to be happy this year. I thought this was going to be the best year of my life but instead it has turned into the worst. I guess I will be back when I find out what the plan is.

Good luck to everyone. I hope there are a lot more BFP' s coming.
