hi,
Here is the scoop - my hCG number is only 939. My progesterone is over 30. I won't be getting another beta test, only an u/s a week from Friday. My doctor only said we'll see at the u/s if it really worked or not.
I'll check in then and let you know the outcome.
Till then please send lots of baby dust my way!
xx summer
Summer - you are pregnant - you are pregnant!!! The number sounds great to me!!! Enjoy these days and live in the moment. Enjoy each and every day!
My goodness it sure sounds as though things are falling into place with everyone. It is going to be a busy few months on this thread!
All is great with us! The twins are now both sleeping through the night (12 hours) which is fantastic. I am starting to feel human again. The down side is that my husband has been away for most of Feb - I saw him for 6 days the whole month. Apparently March is going to better! So, while they are sleeping through the night, I am still exhausted because I am playing the role of the single parent. Oh well, no complaints because it just means I don't have to share my sweet bundles with anyone (hee hee!!!).
Carolyn, you are going to be PUPO before you know it. And Pauline, let us know what date you decide upon - gosh, it sure is coming around quickly! Chris, when are you set to do your cycle?
Hi to everyone else!

7 IVF cycles - 2 chemicals, 5 BFN

9th IVF cycle - BFP!! Twins born Sept 18/08
Trying again May 2010!!!
hi,
thanks for all the positive messages! My scan is on March 6th, in exactly a week from today. So testing so late isn't so bad, because you only have a one week wait, instead of another 2WW till you get more information!
Hopefully, I'll have some time to post news before I have to run off to work on that day. If not, I'll do it as soon as I get the chance...
kelly - how nice that the babies are sleeping through the night!! How old are they now? But too bad DH has had to be away so much this month! I'm sure he will see a big change in his children when he finally gets the chance to stay home for a few days! Does he help out a lot when he is around? I'm sure if you can deal with single parenthood with twin babies, you can do anything!
carolyn - how many days now till you go to Prague? Are you going to be getting reports about how your donor is progressing with her stims and follicle development?
pauline and chriss - thinking of you both. Hope you are well and hope spring will soon be there where you live! We are still buried under snow!
Hi everyone. Been reading up on your posts. Kelly sounds like you are enjoying your babies to the fullest. Glad DH will be around more in March
Hi Carolyn. Refresh me on your treatment dates??? You too Pauline.
As for me...
I am a sad sack. Just got AF today so not pregnant AGAIN!!! Meanwhile my sister told me today that she is pregnant AGAIN! I cried and cried. I want to be happy for her. I feel so terrible when I can't feel complete happiness for others. I feel like a bad person. It brings up all my past failures and I feel like a loser. I don't want to feel this way. Sorry to blab but the wounds are fresh and I know that you can relate. You are the only ones who can realte. Even DH does not "get it" the way you do. Boo Hoo, Whoa is me. I'm waiting for my DE phone call but I am even scared for that! No make sense in my brain right now:(
Oh Chris! I am so sorry for you! I know how difficult it must be for you, especially in the face of your sister's news. Just take time for yourself and stay away from all things baby. I don't know if you have a sweet tooth or not, but Coldstone Creamery has these yummy new ice cream cupcakes that might help drown your sorrows for at least 15 minutes. Small steps will get you through this. And we're always here to listen to you and reassure you that you are a wonderful person and good things will come your way soon. Hang in there!!

hi chriss - oh man, what news to get -- I know you want to be happy for her, but I can truly understand how you must be feeling -- How come she can do it and I can't - Not fair at all! Is your sister much younger than you? Does your sister know about your IVF tmt? I'm not so sure that the guys don't feel almost the same way, they just have a hard time expressing it or letting themselves believe it. DH only recently confessed how hard he finds it to see other men holding their babies and playing with their children. But now when we are in the middle of tmt, he smiles and is so hopeful. That is really nice to see.
-- On the other hand, glad to hear you've been trying. Would of course be amazing to hear about a natural BFP, maybe next month! Keep believing! And as far as your RE calling, no matter how you are feeling right now, the excitement of knowing you are on your way with DE will turn how you are feeling right now into something positive and something to look forward to -- because hey, it really can work!
As for me, DH will likely still be away on business next Friday when I have my scan, which is too bad. Looking forward anyway to knowing if there really is a bun in the oven or not...Until then, just trying to keep in mind that I might very well be pregnant and enjoying that fact!
carolyn - how's the accupuncture working? What kinds of new things are you learning? How often do you go?
pauline - how are you guys doing with the plan?
enjoy the rest of the weekend.
take good care, chriss! go out and do something special for yourself, you deserve and are worth it!
Chris Honey ..thinking of you - it is just so difficult when we hear this type of news - I know there is nothing we can say to make it any easier - just know that our thoughts are with you .. and your time will come ((()))xx
Like Summer said - get yourself pampered or do something just for you and DH .. I feel this IF thing just sometimes takes over our lives so much and we forget to do normal couple things .. keep your chin up you are one strong women and you know that
hi, I have a question for kelly and carolyn - since you either did or are going to have tmt outside of your home country --
Did you or are you planning to have follow-up tmt with your former RE or did you/will you go directly into tmt with your ob/gyn?
carolyn hope you will son be following inher footsteps x x x not long now

ooo Jenn - its so lovely to hear from you .. especially when it must be sooo hard coming back to the boards ((())) xx - are you trying to convince DH for another cycle then ??? Bet the puppy is keeping you busy though .. i would just so love another dog but just not proactical with our work schedules
Summer - when I get my BFP (notice the PMA ladies !!!) i was planning to have 6 week scan with old RE and then go from there - hope that helps ???
Pauline - hows you ??
Chris - hope today is better tahn saturday - hugss to you hon ((()))
Bianca - not long now till our trip to Prague - have you start down reggging now ??
AFM - been for accupuncture tonight so am well chilled ... so need to get to my bed !!
Sorry this is so short. Am just pumping now and then off to feed the babes before bed!
Summer... I actually went right back to my old RE for my beta test and then my 7 week scan. After that he referred me to my OBN who I then went to for my 12 week scan. It was nice to go back to my RE's office for the BFP because I knew everyone there and they were all so excited with my positive - and then my twins!
Thinking of all of you!!!

hi jennB - so nice to hear from you! Thanks so much for your kind words. Hope you are feeling well and strong these days. It has to take a certain amount of energy to have a puppy around. I am sure she is adorable.
thanks carolyn and kelly for your responses! Guess I will just play it by ear after my appt on Friday with my ob/gyn. I did email my RE with our news and he wrote back right away saying how thrilled they were for us. It is too bad his office is so far away from where I live, or I'd go there for sure for the initial scans, assuming there will be more than one!
bianca and carolyn - think that is so great that you might get the chance to meet in Prague - small world! Carolyn, when does your donor start? It must be soon - I'm sure you are getting excited!
