kollegeqtee - GOOD LUCK ON YOUR BETA TODAY!!!!

Aims - So sorry for you and DH that this cycle didn't work. I know how disappointing it is. Hope you can find the strength and cycle again.

MzTia - You crack me up with POAS'ing already. I think the earliest I POAS was 5 days before my beta. I was so scared to do it because I didn't want to see a BFN but also I was so excited to it possibly being a BFP. Hope the best for you and keep us updated on your POAS'ing. When is your beta?

It sounds like everyone else is doing really good. We definatly have some good beta numbers and there are a lot of u/s to look forward to next week.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Kollegeqtee_ wishing you luck on your BETA today!!!!

Chris- My BETA is on Tues the 23rd I will be 12dp3dt. I know all the pee sticks are crazy but I just can't help myself. But so far all negative. I haven't let negatives bother me yet if they did I would stop.

Sue- Do you start stims today?

Renee- How are things coming along?

Don't work to hard today ladies it's Friday ))))))))))))

Renee - My triggers were in the evening and my last stim was also the day prior to trigger for both fresh cycles. Ask your clinic if they have any samples to give you - they saved me once when I nearly ran out!

No good news for my bum today. RE wants to continue with 2cc until my ultrasound on 10/1. I understand her thought process so my mind is not disappointed. My posterior, however, is upset.

[MzTia]

Renne- I did take my AM meds the day I triggered. I definatly think you should ask your clinic to make sure. Also if they can't give you donations my cclinic kept a folder of prior patients selling their leftover meds. I bought all my meds for at least 50% off the pharmacy price this last cycle. Let us know how it goes.

I hope you enjoy your company this weekend and most certainly hope that little bathroom problem you are having stops.....

I have a question
I am having pain sometimes when I urinate...kind of like mild cramping...anyone have this?? I do have OHSS, but dont know why that would have anything to do with it.

[turtlesonastump]

Renee- My stims where twice a day and I had meds in the morning and my trigger at night. I would ask the clinic if they have any donated meds.

kerpupples - My posterior sympathizes with yours I can not wait to get off these shots. I will find out on Mon. when I go in for my u/s.

toobee- Sorry, don't have that problem. I don't know what it could be.

valerie - I also have your bathroom problem sometimes. I wish I burped because my gas comes out the other end and that is just embarrassing. Luckily no bad moments yet with that. Have fun with your guest.

Well, just got back from the movies and you would think I wouldn't be so tired, but I need a nap!! I might sneak one in after I eat something. I can't believe how often I eat. I got up at 4am to eat a yogurt and went back to bed. I don't remember being this hungry with my first pregnancy. I might need to buy some new clothes soon.

Aims~I am so sorry about your negative--what horrible news. My heart is aching for you--big hug to you.

MzTia~I am excited for your beta test! I've got a good feeling and I think you are knocked up for sure

Renee~You should be proud of those six follies--they sound like winners! And good going that your lining is nearly 8 with still a few days of stims to go! I think you are doing great. I hope you are enjoying the time with your husband while he is on leave. When does he have to go back?

Val, Turtles, Toobee and other pregnant buddies~I am excited for your ultrasounds. It will be so great to see what is going on in there! I am hoping for MANY healthy babies! And I am sure it will be such a relief for you all to see for yourselves you have a healthy pregnancy. Thinking of you--keep us posted.

I FiNALLY took my last BCP!! Hooray. I willl start injections on Monday. I am feeling excited again after my bout with fear and anxiety earlier this week. I think my body was also reacting to my stopping the herbs. I have been taking them for 2 and half months so I think it was a shock to my system when I stopped on Monday. I am feeling hopeful again.

[to_have_fun08]

SueQiwi - YEAH you finally get to start stims.

How are you doing?

[to_have_fun08]

TooBee - I am doing fine. Just trying to pass the time till my next cycle. Well actaully pass the time till my vacation in October and then my next cycle. I am still on the boards quite a bit and checking all of your progress. Just not posting as much. I am glad to see that your OHSS is subsiding. Can't wait to see if all your little beans have heartbeats. When is your next ultra sound?


I was in kind of some mixed moods yesterday. My sister had her baby. It is her second child. We starting TTC together and now she has had her 2nd child and I still don't have my first. I am happy for her but also kind of depressed for myself. My sister is my best friend so there is no real hard feelings. She has been so good listening to me ***** and vent about my situation and she has never flauted her pregnancy or complained about it too much to me. I think she probably kept some of it quiet just to protect my feelings. I guess life will go on and if it was meant to be I will eventually have my own child.

You sound like a very strong person as well as a person who is still hurting which I can so relate to. It must be so hard to see your sister with her babies but your such a great and strong person to be sslefless and cheer her on. But I also undersand allot of emotional pain you must be in. I do undertstand what must be feeling after myself suffering through three failed pregnancies. There is a certain emptiness and hollowness I think we feel because of our longing for a child.And it seems like evryone else is getting pregnant and having babies but us, right??? I also think it messes with our self esteem as well because infertilty messes with our minds and terrible thoughts easily creep into our heads. I have to ask, have you ever read the book "Inconcievable"? I know I have mentioned this sveral times on this thread but I found this book help my PMA so many times its priceless. I would Highly recommend you read it...you can get it on amazon for a few dollars. I bought it after my 2nd miscarriage which left me almost hopeless and then read it again after my 3rd because I was devastated because the eptopic sverely dammaged one tube. I truly believe you will become pregnant because you are so tenacious, just like the woman in the book "Inconcievable". She never gave up even when all the odds where stacked against her much higher then you or I. She ended up with a beautiful baby she concieved on her own even though no RE would take her on for IVF because of her high FSH. I just loved the book.

I am glad you decided to stay on this thread and continue to cheer us all on, even after your undesired outcome. You are a strong person. I personally find success stories so uplifting so this is a good thread to be on to be inspired.

Now if only I could find a book like "Inconciveable" for people like mylsef with re-current miscarrige. I am still paranoid about recieving devastating news next Friday that none of the three implanters will have a HB'..Isnt that terrible????? I know, I am disappointed in myslef too for thinking so negatively, but I think my mind needs real confirmation t this point to belive I am pregnant. I am trying really hard to keep my PMA but this OHSS is kiccking my butt a little too and makes my mind a little weak cause I feel so unhealthy...

anyway..I m glad your well, and I so hope you will take my recommendation and read tht book if you havnt. I hope it will do for you what ot did for me. I would have given up I think with that book and a few others....
