Renee - Sorry you won't be able to start till January or Feb. Time will fly by and you will be taking shots once again before you know it. I guess hubby being away might be a help. We are all here for you if you need support.

Renee - I got pregnant by a frozen embryo! So I'm sure your DH sperm will still be able to do the trick. Good luck and enjoy the time off from IVF over the holidays.

Good morning ladies!

Sorry I haven't posted too much but I'm absolutely swamped with work. Can't complain about that one bit but it doesn't leave me much free time.

Renee~ I'm sorry I forgot to post for you the last time. I think it's a good thing that you wait until your body gets back to normal. It is strange that you only had spotting and no real AF. You might still get full flow real soon. Don't worry, you won't be alone when you cycle. As I see it for myself, I will probably start again around January. Don't worry about using frozen sperm, it is no problem at all but they will most likely do ICSI.
One way or the other, you will NOT be alone.

Chris~ I hope so much that this cycle will work out for you. I know you're having a tough time and we're here for you. I think you will have good news on your next test and find out that you're suppressed just enough. I'm thinking about you. Stay strong and positive as much as you can and vent all you want because it will help you. At least you're having an easy day at work!! Hugs to you!

SueQiwi~ How's your PMA doing? Little by little, I think we will get better. My husband is my best friend, that's a given. My other male friend is my best friend besides my husband. It is so comforting to have a friend like that besides all of you girls.
I also saw that Rinnie was pregnant and it certainly is an inspiration. We have to keep on believing that it will happen for us too!

Toobee~ Will that m/s just stay away from you, you poor thing?!! But besides that it sounds like you're doing really well. Thinking about you and the babies. Soon you should be done with all of that sickness.

Stacy, Turtles, Amanda~ I hope you're doing well and that the babies are growing really strong. Anybody showing a little bit already? I'm sure the twins Moms are! Turtles...how is your trip going?

I'm doing a little better but still not back to normal. Work is keeping me busy and that's a good thing. It will take some more time before I'm totally myself again.

Hugs and much love to all!

My DH's is my best friend. I don't know what I would do without him. I think I really have a lot of best friends which helps a lot. My sister is always there for me so she is one of my best friends. DH's best friend is also one of mine. We don't share a whole lot personally but he is defiantly there to help me get drunk when I really need to. :lol: I also know if I ever needed anything he would help me out. It is nice to know you have people that will stand behind you whenever you need it.

Val - Thanks for checking up on me on the other board. I don't have any good news. My E2 levels went up and I have a 19mm follicle. RE is hoping that I ovulate and follicle will drop off and lower my levels. We will see. I doubt that it will work. So I will be on Lupron for another couple of weeks. YEAH!!!! I just don't care anymore. One of these days it will work.

Chris~ I am so very sorry that you are dealing with so many delays. I know and feel how hard it is for you, let alone frustrating.
You had a little poem in your signature last night and it just made me cry, it was really beautiful.
Can you ovulate while on Lupron? Is it a follicle or a cyst that you have?
I really hope that it gets all resolved soon and that you can keep going with your cycle. I know it's not easy to stay strong and have PMA but it is the only thing that keeps us going on this tough road. You are a very strong person, we are here to give you extra strength when you need it.
You are in my thoughts and I wish I could give you a great big hug.

I don't have much time for personals but I'm thinking about all of you!

Lots of love!

To HaveFun

Damn girl, I am so sorry for you. I wish I had something of value to say that may help you, but all I can offer is my sympathies for your pain and frustration. I find it so unfair all that you going through.....ad all the suffering you have endured. I wish I had a magic wand or soemthing and make it all ok for you.

Sorry Chris.......

Val and Toobee - Thanks so much. Emotionally I am all right for now. I really don't have my hopes up for this cycle so I really can't be let down any farther. If for some miracle my levels do drop then I will be estatic. Next week I believe I will make an appointment with another RE and get a second opionon of what I should do. I will then look to do another cycle in the Spring hopefully with a new RE. I just keep on thinking if it is truely meant to be then it will eventually happen. All in all if it never happens, i can still look back on life and never regret that I didn't do everything in my power to have a child.



Toobee has you m/s subsided at all?

Turtles - How are you doing?

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Hey TohaveFun

I am feeling better, thnaks so much for asking. I still get m/s but its not as bad and not everyday, more like every other day. I am also not taking any meds for it, I am trying to work through it since its allot milder. On the flip side, I have started GOING regulary if you catch my drift. I actually have pooped...a normal non straining poop is like a HUGE thing to me..insane isnt it??? But since thats been going my way it seems to have helped the nausea...so go figure

TooBee - Glad things are going better with cleaning out your system. I guess it had to some out some end. :D That must be nice to get off the medicine also. When is the next time you get an u/s?

Well I have been getting u/s eevry week because of the bleeding which I still have some but it appears to be old blood. At my last u/s they did a NT, and all looked great on both babies. But they couldnt do the blood portion on me because I started with triplets and the blood work would defintley give a high false positive. We will do a full anatomy scan of both beans the day before thanksgiving. I will be around 16 weeks by then I guess. But just so you know, I dont take any of this for gratnted or that I am out of the weeds from a m/c. The one thing that has helped my sanity is a fetal doppler moniter I use everyday. Otherwise I would be allot more paranoid then I am naturally. wish i coud be one of those gleeful and rediculously happy pregnant woman, but i am still to scared to let myslef go -
