AUG/SEPT BUDDIES!

[to_have_fun08]

TooBe - Congrats on the 3 sacs. I hope your fear is subsiding a little that now a lot of problems that can occur are now eliminated with the U/S. Sorry about your OHSS, just drink a lot of gatorade and eat plenty of protein.

MzTia - Transfer all 6, that is just crazy. I didn't think that Re's would do that. I am praying that 1 or 2 snuggle in really tightley. Congrats on being PUPO.

Turtles - Thanks for the information on the Flare. I won't be getting my actual schedule till I get AF in October so I will see then what I am up against.

JJake - Hope your belly pain subsides and hope to see a great 3rd beta #.

Renee - How are the stims going? When is your first u/w?

Valerie - How you holding up. That was a wonderful and inspirational post you did yesterday. You said a lot of correct things. IVF does bring out a lot of things in life that you would have probably taken for granted if we were not going through it. Right now I really have to deal with the fear issue because I really am fearing that this next cycle will be canceled or a BFn again. I just need to find my PMA but I still have a ways to go before it starts so I will probably find it somewhere along the way.

sflemming - a great beta, when will you have your u/s.

[to_have_fun08]

Gosh - it looks like on this boad you get a BFN or your get PG with Twins or triplets. I was just checking on the PG after treatment boards and NDGO is PG with twins. Gots to go add another smily.

Chris~ You are very sweet to keep checking on us!! I more than appreciate it! And thank you so much for updating our list!
You are so right that we have so many twins on the board and it's not over yet...so many of us still waiting for an US!

I'm glad you're getting back on the horse so soon. Please try to find your PMA real quick because I do believe that it does make a difference in the long run! I ALWAYS told my RE that I would get pregnant and he kind of would look at me and laugh because he's the very cautious kind of guy. But he told me that I have been right all the time! Before my last transfer, I remember telling him that this time I would not only get pregnant but that I would go all the way and deliver a healthy baby! I hope I'm right.
But that is an attitude that you have to try and adopt...not have ANY doubt in your mind that you will have a baby at the end of this road. I know that is what you want more than anything and you have to keep on believing!!

Kerpupples~ We don't see you very much on the board but I want you to know I'm thinking about you! Have you POAS? I hope we get to see another BFP for our August team!! Best of luck tomorrow!

JJJake~ What was your second beta? I don't know if I missed your post telling about it. How are you feeling? Did you talk to your DR. about your pain? Let us know how you're doing!!

Toobee~ How's our triple Mom doing? Is Ike treating you right?
Now that ectopic, molar, blighted ovum is out of the way, you can relax a lot more. In the end, the important part is that we get to take home a healthy baby. Hope the OHSS is getting a little better. Is your tummy swollen?

Amanda~ How are your symptoms behaving? I only had 2 or 3 AF type cramps yesterday and they were mild. Nothing last night!! I'm exhausted today and already took a 2 hrs nap after breakfast!! I'm more thirsty too. My boobs are very painful today and I think they've increased to the next cup size....not hard to do when I'm only a 32A to begin with! I WILL TAKE IT! Hunger and burps remain the same!

lynnie and Mztia~ How are you doing during your 2ww? I hope the embies are getting really snuggled in their cozy homes!!

Have a wonderful Saturday and lots of hugs to all!!

Val

[kerpupples]

Thanks Chris. My beta is actually on Monday.

[to_have_fun08]

Kerpupples - Sorry had the wrong date. Good Luck on Monday!!!
Have you POAS? Wishing you the best.

Valerie - I think that keeping up with this board is an inspiration to me and is helping me get my PMA back. So many of you have been thru 2, 3 and 4 cycles. Some with miscarriages and other things that would definalty make a person want to get off the horse and find other options. Everyone has kept marching on after one failure to another and now have BFP's. It shows I can do it too even though it feels so hard at times. At the end of my tunnel, even if I don't get PG, I will know in my heart that I did everything possible to have my own child and I will not regret any moment of it.

Chris

[courtney]

Sorry to crash your board ladies...but I had to tell Valerie68 CONGRATULATIONS!!!! We were on the same board for our first IVF. I am so happy for you, you are so positive and such a help to other ladies...I couldnt be more thrilled for you. Enjoy every moment, even the days when you are vomitting!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!

[Much Hope]

Happy Saturday Girls:

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for all these babies, Twins, Triplets... It seems that August was a magical month. Keep those wonderful betas coming and I cannot wait to hear about those lil heartbeats so strong.

Have a Wonderful saturday Ladies

Much sticky baby dust to all

[kerpupples]

Chris - I have been doing HPT since Thursday. Yesterday we got a faint line but we read the test later than the instructions said to. Today I did 2 tests and on one there was no line and the other was even fainter than yesterday and looked like an evaporation line. Not really sure what to think. My last BFP I tested the night before and got a line fainter than the one I saw yesterday so who knows.

I can't believe all the BFPs this thread is getting. I really hope I get to join them. If not we're taking a break until January. I'm tired of thinking about getting pregnant all the time.

[MzTia]

Hello Ladies

Toobee , WOWSER< WOWSER< WOWSER, possibly 3 that is wonderful. In all this you are pregnant whether it is one or 3 this is wonderful.

I am on day 3 of 4 days of bed rest and still feeling non obsessed which is great. I know crazy RE putting back 6 but they stick with why they do it and they have been transferring 5-6 for a couple yrs now and only twin incidences have increased. So I let go and decided to trust them. At this point I am just hoping that it works.

And wow they really are alot of twins this month how fabulous is that. Everyone is going to make such great moms.

Renee- How goes the stims? Hopefully the shots are coming along easy for you.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday!!!

[AmandaM]

MzTia- 4 days of bed rest is hard. I had a difficult time with 2 days. I hope the time passes by quickly for you. Congrats on being PUPO.

Valerie-I have been more tired too lately. I usually get tired in the afternoon around 1 or so. My breasts aren't sore at all today. And I had a few twinges. I wrote to Ghost to see what his thought was on symptoms not being as strong. He said the sore breasts aren't from pregnancy but by the hormone progesterone. So if the supplements have been cut back, which they weren't, or if your body is producing less then the side affect of the tenderness would be felt less. Over all I am not feeling much. And as long as everything is progressing which I am sure it is I am good with that. I might be a little more hungry but not much. I can't tell if my breasts are that much bigger since I am already a little on the big side. I am glad you have been feeling well too. It is nice to have all those good stong symptoms. I can't wait to hear your heartbeat numbers.

Kerppules - Good luck on you beta on Monday. Get another BFP for team August!!!

Much Hope- How is everything going with you? I hope all is well.

All is going well here today. just relaxing. Not feeling much.

Hope everyone is well.

Amanda

[stefanie]

TooBee - wow! Well, we chatted about this the other day and I thought then that even three might be possible. it will all work out as it should and I get your feeling numb.

Regardless, you're going to be a mom and that is amazing amazing news.

(in the meantime I'll see you on the multiples page)


are you feeling symptoms?

For me- acid reflux and queasy on and off all day. Also the constipation is out of control. I finally went yesterday and it was not pretty. I'm doing prune juice, prunes, metamucil, and All bran and I'm still not regular!!!!Doc said I could use a glycerin suppository if need be. Yesterday I needed be. He said it's the progesterone of the two plus the shots.


To all those waiting or starting. I wish you the very best.

Hello Ladies,

Congrats on all the BFP's! I've been kinda hanging out in the background and recognize some of your names. This is my 3rd time trying (1 Fresh and 2 Frozen). I had 4 embryos transferred on 9/5 and will have the first beta test on 9/18. I could really use some PMA. I have had some stress the past couple days and starting to worry it's not going to work for me this time either. and it's probably our last try since we are out of embryos. I am not sure we can afford to start over with a fresh cycle.

Anyway, good luck to everyone with beta coming up!

[stefanie]

Stress in what way? Emotional or work-related.

If it helps at all, during my june IVF I just meditiated and ate well and got really zen and FOCUSED on the embies, and I got a BFN

This time, I had a writing deadline, and writers block and was writing every day and pretty stressed about it. I wasn't under physical stress, but i was under a lot of emotional pressure. I also didn't meditiate or do my acupuncture. . and .... voila.

I think positive is great, but at a certain point it is also biology.

For me, where the Positive energy thing really comes in handy is in knowing this is my path and that wherever I am, I don't have to give up until I am ready. And that if other people think I'm crazy, so be it. Listening to my own heart, etc.


I wish you the best. Cut out whatever you can that you don't NEED to do, and soak those feet in epsom salts and watch movies that make you happy!

[SueQiwi]

toobee~Congrats on your THREE embabies snuggled down!! wow--you are incredibly fertile!! congratulations!!!

Aims~I am hoping for your BFP. It won't be long now until you find out--be good to yourself in the meantime and take it easy. Visualize your embies dividing, implanting and growing into a beautiful baby!

Kerpuppies~I am thinking of you too and hoping for a BFP! Be your own best friend right now and take it easy--relax and imagine your baby growing inside you!

Chris~Keep the PMA up cause you are going to get that BFP next time. You seem like such a fun and spunky person and you always have such thoughtful things to say--you would make a terrific Mum and I am hoping for you.

Valerie~When will you see the heartbeat(s)? I enjoyed reading your post yesterday--what a positive spin on this whole IVF process. i hope I can join you on the other side soon! I am feeling pretty scrambled up by the hope and worry of my upcoming cycle.

Renee~I sure hope you get as many embies as you are imagining! That would be a terrific cycle. But even if you dont get 15 viable embryos--just remember that you really only need one good one. I am inspired by a lot of the ladies on the board here who are coming up pregnant with only 2 and three eggs to work with!! Lots of hope for us all.

I am STILL taking these BFPs--I sound like a broken record--I should just cut and paste my previous posts! I am normally a very patient person--but am feeling frustrated and irritated today--I just want to get this show on the road! Thank goodness Friday is my last BFP and then I start Buserlin next Monday. All this waiting around is such a head game--I am going a little batty.
