Rosario - Congrats on your transfer. You are officially PUPO.


As for me, I am in the 2ww. Did my IUI yesterday with no problems. I have 3 good eggs and 103 million swimmers to try and fertilize them. Will be keeping my fingers crossed. My RE's office already has my next protocol if this does not work. I will be doing the flare protocol. I am sure I will have to be on BCP's for a month so should be cycling again at the end of March, or beginning of April.

My RE office doesn't do beta testing for IUI's, so I will be POAS. Probably start around the 20th. RE's office said if I don't have a positive on Feb 23rd to give them a call and stop the prometrium. Oh that is another good thing. I don't have to do PIO. YEAH!!!! The last time I had a cycle converted to an IUI, I had a choice of PIO or suppositories. I chose the PIO because I didn't want the mess of suppositories. My new RE said I could do Prometrium which is just a pill that i have to take twice a day. Yeah, no shots.

Hope everyone has a good day. I need to catch up more later.

Ok so to explain this a little bit better for you ladies The forst IVf that we done I started AF before we ever had the BETA and the second IVF that we just done in January was a BFN the reason that my DH doesnt know is because I cant get up the nerve to tell him that it didnt work for one reason my DH is a chief and he works seven days a week he only has off monday mornings which I am at work so I dont see him and Thursday evenings and he is so tired that after he eats dinner he goes straight to bed so you see we really dont have that much time together and with the past IVF after the BFN I only had my AF for like three days and as far as for making love that is a ever rare occasion and with my husband he is mexican and they love to have huge families and he has a daughter from a previous relationship that he never gets to see or talk to and I have a daughter from a previous marriage that he considers his own but he wants a child or children together to make our family complete and as far as having a heart to heart well after being with him for four years I know that would be extremely hard to get him to understand why it didnt work and he would think just like before that it was my fault that I did something wrong although I think that I have done everything that I could have possibly done to make it work I feel so wrong in not telling him that I want to cry all the time about it and I want so much to give him the family that he wants and I am so terrified that this FET want work and then what will I do Am I wrong for not telling him I am just so afraid

espinozal23 - I want to give you a big hug ((((HUUUUGGGG)))). I know this must be really unfair to you that you can not tell DH about the BFN. It must be eating you up inside. Why does your DH believe it is your fault that you can't get PG and got a BFN? That is really unfair. We have no control over what happens. As far as your FET goes, there is no reason why it won't work. Your embie was strong enough to make it to the freezing stage so it must be a good embie. A lot of RE's are having success with FET's. I was reading a post the other day that said one RE had more success with their FET's then with their fresh cycles. You body will be more prepared for a FET and you won't have all the drugs in your system. You have a really good shot at getting your BFP. I so hope that some way you will be able to tell your DH. I can see why you haven't told him but I think in the long run it will be better if you found some way you could tell him.

Good Morning Ladies... It feels as if these days are sort of flying by. I am so excited for the weekend. My DH has a big day planned for me. Actually he got together with his 3 good friends and they are taking us out... first they plan n taking us on a Limo ride all around Downtown for about 3 hours, go to the fountain and take pictures, while they get drunk off their butts. Bad thing about that is that I won’t be able to join them on the drinks. Afterwards, the Limo is going to drop us off at this Club where we will dance our butts off. I guess it’s a good thing that I still have no AF, but if I do start stims by then, do u think it will be a bad idea if I have myself 1 Pina Colada? That place we are going to has some great Pina Coladas and I want one... Maybe I will just get me a Virgin Pina Colada, in that case I will get me aa few... :lol:

Rosario... Great looking embies. Triplets, here we come!!!! Good Luck Hun.

Molly... Congrats, u r our next BFP Lady!!!! Great News, that will be 5 in a row BFPs. Your Trigger should defo be out by now. So I will take it as a BFP, but just as I tell everyone, wait till your Beta for the confirmation. Congrats hun and Good Luck on Friday. :P

Tburks... Well headache is gone this morning, once again. But yesterday it was really pounding. Back of head and temples is where the pain is, kind of like a migraine. I didn’t get this 1st cycle, I think my body is responding differently this time, I just hope it is for the better.

Chris... In the 2WW, awesome. 3 eggs v. 103 million swimmers, the eggs don’t stand a chance... all three will be knocked up within the next few days. Congrats hun... I will be expecting a report from you when u POAS and get your BFP. I will put u on the schedule for HPT on Feb. 23rd. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you hun.... sending u lots of sticky baby dust, I really hope this works for you. And jealous right about now... pills, lucky girl. Good Luck.

Espinoza.... Hunny, you are scaring me. Only you know your DH the way you do, and I am not here to judge him, but you shouldn’t be afraid to tell him, especially something as sensitive as this. I am so sure u did everything right, everything you were supposed to. Heck, I did everything too, I stoped drinking caffeine, I stopped smoking, no alcohol, etc., and I still got a BFN, and as upset as I was, blaming myself, wondering what I did wrong not scared to tell my DH but more ashamed that even with IVF I can’t give him another child, I felt like a failure. Espinoza... just to remind u, I am Mexican and my DH is Mexican with a big family, so I know what u mean. We always planned on having at least 10 kids..yeah ok, but it didnt go as planned. When I had to tell him the bad news about our BFN, I was ashamed or felt that he would be dissapointed in me... he wasn’t. He cried and hugged me so tight and told me it’s ok, don’t stress yourself out, we will try again. I cried that I don’t know why.. He said it just happens, and we will try again and no matter what he still loves me. He was so supportive and so understanding. The hardcore, Mexican that I knew him to be, was nothing like that. He showed me his soft side and even though I know how bad he wants more kids and how bad I want to give him those kids... he doesn’t hold it against me. I have even gone as far as to tell him, that maybe we should get divorced so that he ca find a wife that can give him the children that he so much longs for. He tells me, that I’m crazy, that he loves me. My point is Espinoza, find a way to tell him now... U may find that he understands better than u think... and if u wait long to tell him, it may just upset him for real if he finds out later. I hope I made sense. Hun, all I can do is keep u in my thoughts and pray that eveything turns out positive for you. Good Luck hun.

Espinoza - I like what Lady J wrote. I would hope that your DH would understand the anguish you are going through. As far as being punished by God, I am not a religious person but no I don't think God would punish you for not telling your DH. I think you will punish yourself more and that can not be a good thing. Please try and tell him. Let it all hang out and see what happens. He is going to find out one way or another. Even if you do the FET your DH can count the months and figure the baby wasn't conceived with our fresh cycle. I think the longer you wait the worse it might be. That's just my 2 cents.

Lady J - You are so funny. I hope you have a great weekend. Sounds exciting. As for the Pina Colada goes, I am sure you will be OK. Just don't go overboard. I was actually a bad girl yesterday and had a few beers with DH. It had been a while and I figure the egg and spermies haven't even met yet so it was no big deal. Have some fun while you can.

Waiting...I am so sorry to here this. :( This has to be tough! But, as hard is it may be, PLEASE don't stress out the embie(s) implanting. You are in my prayers hun. I pray that it's only because there is a better job lined up for your DH.


Lady J...I hope you have a great time this weekend, but with the virgin drinks. :lol: Make him take you dancin! :wink:


tburks...Are we taking the BETA on the same day????? Have you done a HPT? Is your TWW taking forever like mine is?

waiting for 4 - I will be praying for you. This economy just sucks. I worry everyday that something is going to happen to either DH's or my job. I can't imagine what you are going through with just closing on a new house. I wish you the best and hope that DH can find a new job soon. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a positive beta for you. It might not be the best time for a baby but when is the best time? Good luck.

waiting: OMG!! I am soooo sorry. I teared up reading your post. This economy is in the pits! It has so many people stressed out. Obama needs to fix this thing pronto!! My dh and I work for the same company. Our company has had two lay-offs, one in October and one just 2 weeks ago! It really has stressed me out b/c we do not have a good emergency fund saved up. I am praying for you both!! Please take care of yourself :cry:

shelley: How did you know they were putting in a boy and girl??? Glad your transfer went well. Sticky Dust to you!!!!!

espinozal: Did I read you right. Your dh has said several times he will leave you if you do not get pregnant??? I am soooo sorry you are having to go through this as well. This process is stressful enough as it is for your dh to be adding this additional stress on you. I agree with the other ladies, you need to go ahead and let him know. And no I do not think God will punish you for waiting to tell him. I'm sure he understands your worries. Please feel my big HUG coming your way!!!!

Molly: Early congratulations!! Sounds like a BFP!!!! I am happy for you and your dh!!
