JDC, I am so sorry about your news. My thoughts are with you and DH

I hope this post finds everyone in there 2ww doing well and fighting the urge to POAS..lol

I am so excited to see some of those wonderful BFP this cycle. As you all know this cycle did not work out for me and DH, but we are going to be in the Oct cycle with DE. I decided not to have my daughter help us, I think after much thought that in the future it might be something she regrets since it would be her sibling and her biological genetics.

We have been blessed with a friend who is more then eager to help us. She goes for her 3 day FSH tomorrow and starts BCP. I am still waiting for AF so I can start mine. All the meds will be here tomorrow as well.

If I cannot get knocked up with eggs from a 21 yr old then god help me. Now lets hope I can produce that beautiful lining again for a Donor cycle.

I am so excited for everyone. I cannot wait to read all the post about your morning sickness and those babies kicking.

Much baby dust

TOOBEE - looking good! Congratulations. My beta was 14dpt and was 883 so I think you might even have what an ultrasound confirmed for me today --- TWINS!!

I had two embryos and have two yolk sacs. So I want to send that one out to all the ladies on here who get upset because they only have a few to work with. I had two and nothing else. Just love what you get, feed it protein and sit around like a big fat cow as much as possible. LOL

Much Hope - you are amazing. You have an amazing attitude and outlook and are an inspiration to everyone moving on to DE. You go girl.

Toobee- I am so happy for you :D I just knew that you would get a BFP. It sounds like you will have two little ones :D

JDC - I am so sorry to hear that your pregnancy wasn't viable. Hug.

Much Hope - I am so glad that you get to try again. YAY

Valerie - I can't wait to hear your beta. With three blasts, I am sure you are pregnant.


My breasts hurt a little last night, but not today. This morning I felt a little sick. Not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me and trying to convince myself that I am pregnant. I really hope I am for sure. My "friends" at work said it was just my mind that I wouldn't be feeling anything at 4 weeks. (which is Sat.) I am hoping and praying for a high beta on Sat. Sometimes I really feel like I am pregnant, other times I feel like I am not. Could be me protecting myself from getting hurt a third time.

JDC
I just went back a few days and read your post. I am so sorry and I wish you the best. I guess I'm about a week behind you and it really hit home.

I feel like each hurdle we actually pass gets scarier, because there is more to lose. I am sending you so much love and support right now.

This is so hard, my husband was so elated today and I was happy but afraid to fully go there as I know the next step is the search for a heartbeat, and we had that heartbreak at 12 weeks once.

It's nice to be here where people know joy and also know the fear and pain that go with it.

You are the strongest group of women I know....and I don't even know you! DOn't have to, I guess.

Hello....Hello

Hey ladies I personally had to take a brake from the forum in attempts to hold my sanity together. With doing so I believe I have made it worse and my poor DH is sitting through it all trying to be supportive. I don't know if it is only hormones or "something else" but I have cont' to cry for the last 2days. I took a long nap today because I felt I was being a big baby. :lol:

KATE, SHELLBELL, BELL : Please believe me when I say my heart goes out to all of you wonderful women. Even with our different life stories I think we all share in each others pain. You and your families are in my prayers.

JDC: I'm so sorry for your lost and I hope you and your husband the best of luck for the furture.

LYNNIECAT, MZTIA: I hope your follies cont' to grow, grow, grow :)

TOOBEE: Hot "Dogs" Girl congrats, congrats, congrats!!!! you give me hope, I too have no symptom except minor "twinges". I can't wait to find out how many you are having. The 2ww wait is now FIN.

MUCH HOPE: you have great PMA, and 21Y/o eggs sounds like a great way to start a cycle. Who says there's no fountain of youth.

MSFIX: I hope your ER went well today. Relax and enjoy....let DH take care of you

TURTLE: Congrats on your Beta and POAS :D Sometimes when your reading the previous pages of the forum to catch up it can be alittle "blah". You were soooo funny.

SUE: Welcome back! Glad to see a post from ya.

AMANDA, MUGGSEY, TO HAVE, HORSEGRL, AND KERRPUPPLES:I'm not sure if I may have missed something but how are you guys feeling about this waiting I know I'm beside myself.

VAL: Hey lady, how are you feelling with those cramps. Did you take off from work because you were feeling bad....ya may not remember but I took off from work and I have yet to return to desk duty. I have been a banana boat.....too much time on my hands :lol:

STEPHANIE: CONGRATS ON YOUR TWINS THAT IS WONDERFUL :) :)

[/b]You ladies are great and strong women. I know now how strong I can be through reading your stories. I am humbled by what many of you are going through and I gather strength from your many words of inspiration. I hope I can give back just as much as you ladies have given me. Thanks[/b]
