JAN/FEB/MAR 2009 Ladies!!! :arrow:

[aspotofTea]

thanks for the encouragement ladies. Now I'm just waiting for a call

chris, sending you lots of good vibes for your transfer today. snuggle in embies!

tabatha, I didn't take gonal, I took follistim, but all I felt was the bloating and heaviness right before I took my trigger shot. It sounds like you are doing well thus far.

hi lady j xoxo

rosario, how are you doing? I hope that you are okay.

anyone know if babyluv's DD surgery went well? I hope it did.

[Lady_J]

aspotoftea....XoXoXO, back at ya. Hi Hun.... Cant wait to hear your positive results. but if they come back and say BFN again but your HPTs are still coming back +.. then u may want to go to your Doctors office at that point and have them draw blood and take your Beta. You dont want to be like the ladies on that show.... coming in to the hospital with pains and next thing u know a baby pops out cuz "they didnt know they were pg" I cant wait to hear your results. Good Luck hun.

Lady J - You crack me up with the story of the lady that well duhhh she didn't know she was pregnant. How the heck do you not know you are pregnant. Do you think you were invaded by and alien and that is what is kicking you in the ribs for the past 3 months.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. It means so much to me. Both my embies were still hanging on today. They transfered and 3-cell and a 5-cell. I am not getting my hopes up but will try and stay optimistic. My Beta will be 3/31.



Chris

[SueQiwi]

Chris~Congrats on getting knocked up! Now kick back and relax and be good to yourself. I truly hope this will be it for you--you deserve to be a Mum at last.

AspotofTea~you poor dear! What a crazy situation. It's just gotta be positive if all those HPTs are showing positive! Dang--that lab better get it together! Not smart to mess with us fertility patients!

Tabatha~your follies sound great!

[aspotofTea]

They just called back- BFP with a beta of 551.

I know many of you think POAS is evil, and I know, it can totally be evil, but in this case, it saved me. Who knows what would have happened if I had not done so, they called yesterday with a negative, and I stopped all the meds.

[nursegator]

aspotoftea: Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, in this case, POAS was a very very good thing! You must be SO thrilled. That's a pretty high beta-- twins??

[Rosario]

aspotofTea Congrats on your BFP. POAS is not that bad after all. In my case my tests were getting lighter everyday which obviously showed me implantation might have occured but didn't get anywhere as where my RE goes based on the b/w and say its residual HCG in the system. We all know that wasn't the case. I am so happy to hear your beta levels were in the 500s. =]

AFM I am hanging on. Even though i might say my DH is the worst person in the world, I still love him. I still have hope. Everyone makes mistakes and he is human. I was suppose to start my next IVF in the next few days when my AF showed up but thats not happening. I am actually taking time to decide when the right time is. The good thing is that I am not missing this cycle too much because they are changing my insurance. I would have to wait in the end until prior auth went thru on the new insurance. Other than all this I am still here feeling better and just being me. I work and go home thats my routine =[ I can't wait until it gets warmer so I can go out and fish =]

aspotoftea I just LOVE your crazy BFP story!! So sorry it happened, but your beta is fabulous! So happy for you!

Lady_J, DH and I really liked Fireproof too. Cheesy at times, but what a great story. If we all did the things Kirk Cameron's character did for our spouse, how wonderful would the world be?

Chris, congrats on the embies!

AFM, today I said good-bye to our fertility journey. AF came (13dpER, just like last time), so that's that. I'll still go in for beta on Friday since they require it, but we have our answer. This morning I was listening to my ipod and doing some serious cleaning (parents are coming in Thursday for DDs surgery...aspotoftea, thanks so much for thinking of her). There are some WONDERFUL songs that help me through times like this. The main one is "Whatever You're Doing" by Sanctus Real. I started crying but it wasn't really from saddness...it was relief. Not relief that I wasn't pregnant, but relief that we can finally move on from fertility. I've been feeling a lot lately that we are supposed to adopt again, and while it was very likely we would have adopted one more even if I HAD gotten pregnant, I'm just thinking this is God's plan for us. Yea, the BFN is disappointing for sure (how could it not be?), but I feel we gave it a shot and now have our closure. The kids kept me laughing a lot today and I just can't believe how much God has already blessed me.

Good thing too as I'm hosting a baby shower in two weeks (that's an IVF baby too).

I wish you all the best of luck for healthy pregnancies and more BFPs in the future. I'll stick around for awhile and when things settle down let you know how DDs sugery goes on Thursday (If I have my laptop with me at the hospital it probably won't take too long as I should have LOTS of free time). Any prayers would be appreciated. She goes in for her preop tomorrow to have all of her tests run and we'll be there most of the day. Thankfully DH had 9 days he had to take off before the end of March lest he lose them, so he's been around a lot and has the rest of this week and part of next week off. Talk about timing!

Thanks ladies! You've been wonderful!

aspotofTea --- Congrats on your BFP!!!!! I am so glad you did HPTs because otherwise this wouldn't have had such a great ending. I am sorry they put you through the added stress by telling you it was negative. I wish you a healthy and uneventful pregnancy!!!! There may be twins in your future with that high BETA

[Lady_J]

Good Morning Ladies!!!! Well, today is an exciting day. I have a job interview in 45 min. here at the agency I work in just for a higher position which means more pay I have been wanting it for so long and now my chance has come. I really do hope I get the job, it will be such a relief for us, $$ wise. PLease keep your fingers crossed for me.

espinoza... Congrats on your FET. I really hope it works for you this time. That is what I am thinking right now. I have 1 frozen embie, and I would like to try the 1, but I am also afraid that it won't make it to thaw. So maybe I hope, that my next cycel I will have more eggs to freeze. I dont know. Good Luck hun.

Chris.... OMG, u r finally officially PUPO!!! I am so happy for you hun that u have made it this far. Thia is your time girl, think about it. Your cycle had a big bumb, but your body managed to overcome it... your body is ready for that baby or babies to cuddle inside of you. You deserve it girl. When I come back on my cycle, you will be telling me that u will be due soon. Goood Luck Hun.

asapotoftea.... The stories keep getting better and better. Congratulations!!!!! I just knew they were wrong. That is so crazy. I would be so upset with them, but at least know u know and u can continue your meds. They they have an explanation for you? Good Luck and H&H 9 months.

babyluv... I am sorry you got AF so soon. I hope it is not AF but simply old blood. I still have hope for you for Friday hun. Good Luck.

Well ladies, gotta go get ready for my interview.

[to_have_fun08]

Lady_J - Good luck with your interview. Keeping my fingers crossed everything goes well and you get the big bump in pay. We all need more $$$$.


aspotoftea --
YEAH BFP!!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!



espinoza - Congrats on your FET!!! Hope those little embies stick. We can be in the 2ww together but your Beta is way before mine. My RE loves to make us wait. I will probably start to POAS on the 27th.


babyluv - So sorry that your biological journey has ended. Good luck on your next adoption journey. Keep us all posted on how it goes.

Tabatha - How is the stimming going? Are you close to ER?

Rosario - You will be back in a cycle before you know it. Time goes by so fast. So is your new insurance supposed to be better then your current insurance? I hate dealing with my insurance but I love to see how much they have money they have had to fork out in the past year.

Hi to everyone else. Hope all the mommies are doing well.
