Ladies, I am so sorry for the BFNs today :cry: That makes my heart so sad for you. Let yourself cry and you'll be ready when you're ready.

As for me, I'm in the same boat as Renee...need to leave you guys because it's just too crazy around here with the two little ones. Good luck and thank you all for being SUCH an incredible support!!

Oh, and congrats tripsmomma! I have been thinking about you and I am so glad you got your BFP and all looks great.

Sprout, keep up the PMA...here's hoping you will have your BFP by Christmas, and all of us will have little ones by Christmas 2009!

jcurlygurl & amfmbaby - I am soooo sorry for your BFNs. (((((HUGS))))) to both of you. There is no amount of preparation that can prepare us for that BFN. It is just so frustrating - it seems like after everything we put ourselves through with shots & emotions that it should be guarranteed!! :evil:

As the other ladies have said - please take some time to take care of yourself - and don't let yourself give up hope because of this BFN. You will come back strong and try again - and I KNOW you'll have success.

Best of luck to both of you - let us know what your plans are when you feel up to it. I am off to the RE today to discuss my cycle & timeline. I did speak with the nurse yesterday and I asked about the PGD testing and she said it was odd that my insurance approved it because there is a note in my chart that says no PGD testing will be done. Phew! Looks like it was either a mistake - or my RE got it approved for coverage just in case we wanted it.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Is it just me - or are there a lot more BFNs on our board than BFPs? Maybe the stars were against us.... :wink:

Best wishes to all...

smattison -

THANK YOU!
Prayers are welcome!
I don't know that i "feel" pregnant.. not that I would know how that feels.. b/c I have never been.. but, I am hopeful.. and I think that counts for a lot.

I will report in on Sunday with the results..
Thanks for all the baby dust, cement, prayers, wishes.. I will take everything you've got!

hugs,
Lauren

I'll be thinking of you this weekend harleyloo - best wishes to you and your embies! We've got to close this board on a positive note!

For all the BFNs - please come find those of us cycling again in a future board. I have joined the Oct/Nov/Dec board, but might start a Dec/Jan board because that will reflect my cycle more.

It has been great meeting you ladies and having all of your support!

Smattison Happy heart beat news I am so happy for you best wishes from me.

Sprout I love the idea for Dec/Jan thread DH and I think it will be best to wait till January. oh could use an AP referral I wanna give it shot

Jcurlygirl I am so sorry Hun take your time to think things over and see where to go from here keep DH close and heal one another you are in my thoughts.

Harleyloo I am rooting for you hears to hoping you bring down the house with BFP :lol:

amfmbaby - I hope you are having a fun weekend - hanging out with nephews sounds like the best medicine right now.

Would you like me to ask my AP for a referral in your area? Which part of Illinois are you in? I was seeing the top infertility AC in the midwest - saw her once, then she was put on bed rest (she is 34 weeks pregnant). I am seeing her husband now. I know they cross train each other - but, I still wish I had her...

Let me know - and I'll give it a shot.

harleyloo - keep us posted tomorrow - I'm thinking of you and sending baby dust your way.

to all - I finally started a dec/jan board - come join me when you're able :D

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to report that I got my BFP!
My HCG was 215 and progesterone is at 51.
I go back for beta #2 on Tuesday and the first U/S is the following week.

I want to say that my heart goes out to all that got those BFN's this cycle.. I will be thinking and praying for all of you to bring in the BFP's next go around.

Hugs,
Lauren
