Turtles, Chris, Val, Karen and all the great ladies in this baord, hope everyone is doing great today? If you feel sick in your stomach becaue you are PG, thank God because it is a good sign, don't complain, just accept the moment, each phase will come to past, what is most important is that, at the end of the day, you have a healthy baby to show for it. I am doing great today, trust me, I am a testimoney to what God can do. My son 71/2 is the best miracle anyone could ask for and I am happy I have him despite the odds of having another one, he is my heartbeat. This is the reason I am praying for each and everyone of you to have an experience of having your own child, and I know God will answer my prayers for your behalf, Amen.

I will speak to the dr today to know how we are proceeding, but I have to wait for AF and you never know the two eggs might be fertilized naturally, keep my fingers cross and bd for every other day.

Cheers, ladies, you are all wonderful people.

Thats such fabulous news! I am so excited for you! I wouldnt worry to much about beng a few days off, TRY not to let that damper your great news! Those sound like great measurements to me and if they had a hard time seeing it , it was probably difficult for them to get a good measurement. I m sorry to hear you feel like such dookie today too.

Towachi
You hve a great attitide and your faith in God will guide you through what to do next. I m so sorry they cancelled your cycle, thts not what we all hope for. I hope next time will be your time. Again, I am so sorry for you.

As for me........Well I am still feeling pretty bad. I had few good days but the nausea is terrible. But the worst news, I had some bleeding, can you believe this??? I am so devastated. The Dr's put me on bed rest until Friday when I go in for the U/S. They said there is nothing they can do if I am miscarrying but they want me off my feet because all thats going on in my body right now. I stopped bleeding for now and it wsnt aallot, but any bleeding isnt good news normally but RE said it does happen and things can still be fine. So I guess Friday cant come quick enough. OY VEY, I am asking all of you for good wishes and positive vibes sent my way this week. I think I m gonn need as much posisitve thoughts as I can get...Im scared

Towachi - So sorry you cycle got canceled. I have had 2 canceled cycles and yes the let down isn't as dramatic as a BFN, but it still sucks. I am sure your RE can come up with another Protcol that will work better. I will be beginning my 4th protocol in October so the RE's have lots of tricks they can pull out of their bags. Maybe we will be cycling together in Oct/Nov. Wishing you the best of luck.

Toobee:

Stay calm, have DH rent you some movies to take your mind off of the situation or watch baby program, that will help. If you can also read your bible, trust me you will find answers. But please take your mind off the problem, focus it on something positive, it is difficult i know but you can do it girl. I am thinking about you and lifting you up in my prayers. For me, I am holding up to God because I have come to realize that only God can make a way where there is no way. Only God can give children irrespective of what the dr's are doing, it is only possible when God said yes, so why bother. He siad he will meet the desires of my heart, it might not be when i want it, his time is the best time. So, we should wait upon him, our efforts as humans gets rewarded in due time.

Fun: Thank you my sister, hopefully, we will be able to do it at the same time. Take care of yourself now and drink alot of liquid (water).

Cheers

Toobee - I am so sorry that you have been unable to relish in your PG. It is common to bleed a little with an IVF pregnancy's. I know you have been though a lot so it isn't something you will take lightly. Relax and enjoy a few good books and movies while on bed rest. Keeping my fingers crossed they everything will be good on your u/s on Friday.

Toobee~ Thanks for the well wishes on the US! :D
Know that you are in my thoughts and I hope the bleeding stops. I'm sure that you have read that as long as it is brown spotting, there is no problem.
But I know that you have the fear in the back of your mind that the brown spotting will develop into bleeding. I would be nervous like crazy too.
And I know that Friday can't come fast enough either!!
Many women, even the ones not doing IVF, spot and bleed a lot too. It seems pretty common.
Stay strong and calm for now and make the most out of your bed rest. Keep your mind occupied as that is for sure our worst enemy. I'm sure the babies are doing just fine!
You will be in my thoughts and I've got my fingers, toes and even my eyes crossed for you. :D

I'll do more personals later. I had just come home for lunch and saw your posts. I just had to send you a quick but powerful good vibes your way!

Hello Ladies,

Turtles- How exciting one beautiful heartbeat. I am sure it will be much easier to see next u/s.

Towachi- So sorry you were cancelled. But I truly believe better to be cancelled and get on a better for you protocol then to end up with no eggs.

Val- Good luck tomorrow on your 2 heartbeats, yes 2 I just know it iwll be twins.

Toobee, Rest up it is the best thing for those babies.

As for me it is over unfortunately. I am 14dpo and have nothing but neg HPT's. Hpt's are too accuate for me to believe I will have anything but a BFN tomorrow for my BETA. This is especially hard for me because I have never been so positive about anything in my life. I also really felt pregnant, so different then normal I even still feel that way. This will be our last attempt I think cause I just can't put my family into any more debt. I am so thankful for my beautiful 7 1/2 yr old daughter and so sad that I won't be able to give her the sibling that she wants so badly. I know that everyone of you wonderful ladies will get to experience motherhood it is so the most rewarding thing you can ever experience. I am gonna keep my eye poked out to see how those ultrasounds come along.

Have a great Day!

MzTia - I am so sorry that you are still getting negatives. I felt the same way with my last cycle. Everyone said that there was still hope but I just knew that it was negative. There is still some chance if your beta # is low. If it is truly a BFN I wish the best in whatever you decide to do in life.

turtles - Hooray, heartbeat!!! Image

toobee - That bleeding has to be scary. I've read of so many cases where it happens and things turn out to be fine. I really hope that is the case with you too!

Towachi - wishing you luck with your next cycle! Or even better, that you get a natural BFP.

MzTia - I'm hoping that you have a late implanter. Like you though, I didn't hold out eny hope when I got a BFN that late. Wishing you peace, love, and strength considering this may be your last shot.

Nothing new here except for the most recent knots and bruises on my bum. Just one more reason we can't wait to see a healthy heartbeat on 10/1![/b]

MzTia~I am so sad to hear that you are getting so many HPT negatives! I really felt like you were preganant for sure. This is horrible news and my heart goes out to you.

Toobee~it must be so scarey to start bleeding like that! Big hug for you. But I hope it is just normal pregnancy spotting. Just try to take it easy and think good thoughts while you are on bedrest.

Turltles~I am thrilled that you saw a healthy heartbest! How exciting and wonderful. Take it easy and enjoy being pregnant.

Val~Hang in there--it won't be long before you hear the heartbeat(s). What hurdles we must cross during IVF! But you are nearly there. Keep the faith Girl.

Chris~Im glad you are slowly recovering from the BFN and gearing up for your next cycle. It takes time to heal--be good to your self. Next time will be your time.

I am stimming along and visualizing my dozen perfect eggs!! (Although that would be tons for a low responder like me--but it cant hurt to hope!) I notice that my nails are the strongest and longest they have ever been in my whole life. Not sure if it's due to the Chinese herbs or the prenatal vitamins--but hoping my eggs are also such super quality too!

Hooooraaayyy on seeing a healthy heartbeat! Don't worry about the baby measuring a little behind. At this point, it is very difficult to get an accurate measurement, especially since they had such a hard time finding it. The heartbeat is excellent, so don't worry about a thing.

Kerpupples~ I do feel so bad for you that you have to do those evil PIO shots. Hang in there and the US is going to be here soon.

Towachi~ I'm so sorry that your cycle got canceled. But I see that you are a very strong person and I know that your next cycle will turn out very well.

Mztia~ I feel so sad that you have been getting - hpt. I hope that it all turns out for the best. I keep my fingers crossed for you!

SueQiwi~ How many days have you been stimming for? Soon you will have your US and I hope you will get a dozen eggs. You just never know, it could happen.


As for me, I'm feeling pretty good. Same symptoms still and I can't wait to see the babie(s) tomorrow. I will let you know sometimes in the afternoon when I come home from work. I'm really sleepy right now and going to take a nap.


Later girls!

Go Val , Go Go Go Val!!! Go girl.......Cant wait to here your news


He Girls...
To all that sent me encouraging words today....Thankyou for our support and kind words
I am really ok...I think my posts come across more dramatic then I actually feel. :lol: :lol: I am scared and concerned, but not freaking out yet. I am VERY frustrated though. Friday will be my big day..it just sucks it seems so far away!! I m on bed rest and my wonderfeul best freind came over to wait on me haand and foot today...very strange since I am the one always waiting on people.
My nausea was at an all time high today...good lord! And my boobs are growing everyday it seems. I think I am dealing with both PG symptoms on top of OHSS now...the new level of nausea i think is a new symptom for me. The timing is about right compared to my other pregancies.
