slfleming~ HOOORAY on your positive POAS !!! That is fantastic!
I knew there was a good chance I would be pregnant as soon as I started burping. I never burp and it was one of my symptoms during the first pregnancy!
Can't wait to see your number. Enjoy being pregnant and burp away without shame!! :D :D

Amanda~ Click on my ticker and it will take you to that webpage where you can set up your own ticker. There are other websites that have tickers, like tickerfactory.com.

Congrats JJake, I am very happy for you, it was your time.

Smiles that is am amazing 2nd beta I think you have more then one lil bean cookin in there.

I am so happy for the the BFP's in Aug and so very sorry the the BFN, but your time will come. Keep the faith!!

Well as you know I started my BCP on Sat and my donor started hers on Friday, her 3 day FSH was 4.8 ahhhhh to be 21 again. Dr Said with her young fertile eggs and my great lining we should have a baby by mid Oct. I am so excited, now we go for the calendar review next Tuesday and of course get her results of the FDA infectious desease testing.

I pray that this cycle is our time, I am not getting any younger

JJake~congrats on your BFP! I betcha that's why you were feeling all crazy and down just a week ago--all those prego hormones raging! so happy for you.

Turtles~I got such a kick out of your Turtle Ticker!! so perfect for you!

msFixit~Please do not fret. You did the right thing by waiting. You are most certainly not a bad person! By listening to your body you are doing the very best thing for your future babies. I think it takes a strong person to put things on hold for a better outcome in the future. Be good to yourself. It won't be long before you are feeling like your self again and on with the FET!

MzTia~I wanted to congratulate you on your 6 super embies! How cool that you have 6x the embies from last time!! Things are looking good for you :)

Renee~Don't you worry--Ill be right there stimming with you! Actually you will be a little ahead of me as I don't start stims until Sept 22! There will be plenty of us to cheer you on. :)

MuchHope~I think I am actually synced up with you on your upcoming DE cycle! You've lapped me! lol--i feel like I have been waiting for my cycle to start FOREVER! But Im glad we will be cycle buddies and it certainly sounds promising for you with your 4.8 FSH fresh eggies!

Hello ladies!! I am so happy to see all BFPs. It is so exciting to see and hear the stories of so many mothers to be. I wish you all a great and healthy 9 months.

It has been a while since I got a chance to log in. Not much going on my way. I am 7wk4d with my twins and feel up and down. Most days I get sick to my stomach, but usually not until after I eat. This morning was different, I woke up sick. The joy of being pregnant :D I have my first apt with OBGYN tuesday and really looking forward to it. It seems so weird being regular now, and not going to the center so often for bloodwork or ultrasounds. I guess it is something we will all have to deal with. :cry:

I am traveling on a cruise in a few weeks, just wanted to know if anyone else has cruised during pregnancy?

horsegrl - very sorry to hear about your BFN :(. That really sucks! But you do have 2 blast frosties! :) And that's great! You can have the FET and from what I'm hearing your body may be even more responsive, because it won't be so stressed out with drugs! Good luck!

JJake and slfleming - CONGRATS on your BFP's!! That's wonderful news!

Much hope - I'm so glad to see that you're back on a horse and galloping forward! ;) It's so great of your friend to help you like that. The best of luck with the DE cycle!!

turtles - That's a great looking second beta! And just like SueQiwi, I LOVED your turtle ticker! It's so you!! ;)


It just warms my heart to see all these baby tickers popping up in people's signatures and hear about all these BFP's. Especially for people that have had such a long and trying journey, like toobee, like Val, like Amanda, like many others. It humbles me and it gives me hope. I'm very happy that I found and joined this board. You guys have been so supportive and you're the only group of people in my life that UNDERSTAND what I'm going through. It has been invaluable to have such strong and enduring and hopeful women by my side. I'm truly grateful. Thank you to everybody who supported me in my decision yesterday. I really needed to hear that. Technically, it's silly to give so much credit to what "Strangers" think, right? But I don't feel like you are strangers. You all KNOW and somehow I feel we're all in this together!

And now I just wanted to share wonderful news. I got a call from RE this morning. All three of the remaining embies made it to blast! So all three were frozen. I was told that they were all A's and B's. So now, I have 4 frozen blasts waiting for FET!!! I feel so relieved!! This news really made me believe that the decision was the right one and that once my body will be free of pain and back to normal, that baby WILL happen for me!! :)

Thank you all so much!

Hello Ladies,

horsegrl- I am so so sorry about your BFN. I just know that your frozens are just waiting to get home and your body will be so much more ready for pregnancy without having all those drugs in your body.

slflemming - woohooo Grats to you and DH.

Turtles- glad to have you back and great to hear you have a nice vacation.

Well just got my fert report and I still have 6 beautiful embies. All grade 4(they grade 1-4, 4 being the highest) with no fragmentation. I have 1- 6 cell, 1-3cell , and 4- 2 cell. So it will be a 3 day transfer for me and I am just terrified at deciding how many to put back. I just know my RE will want to put back 4-6.

I wish all this was so much easier for us all. All this waiting, all the decisions, all the stress and heartbreak, I just think we are all so strong to be able to handle. And what a wonderful thing this forum is for all the support it provides. Besides my DH and mom I really have noone to talk to and I want to thank all you ladies from the bottom of my heart.

Back to work,

Have a great day!!!!

Hi girls!!! How are you all doing today!!

slfleming~Image

Way to go, girl...that's an awesome beta you have there!! CONGRATS to you and DH! YEP!! Could be more than one! How many did you transfer?
I'm so glad that my burping symptoms encouraged you to POAS...I thought that was great!

misfixit~ I know you made the right decision with your fantastic blasts. You must be soooo happy that you have 4 blasts. BFP here it comes for you too. This news has to make you feel better for sure!

mztia~ Good luck on the transfer tomorrow! Tough decision to make as to how many. Let your RE guide you!

Much Hope~ So many good news coming your way about your next cycle. I just know that you'll get a BFP ! Keep your amazing attitude and you will go far.

As for me, my second beta is 720!! Nearly tripled in 2 days and RE is delighted and wants me to come back for an US on Sept. 23!
So now I'm entering another 2ww!
Everyone at the doctor's office was so happy for me, it was wonderful to feel! It has become more real for me now that I have this second beta and it's finally sinking in.

I have to get ready for AP. I'll catch up later!

Lots of love to all! :D
