Hi all

Happy Friday!

Good work to keep this site on the top of the list!

Catharine,

You are right that you feel like at your 20s. I think many Chinese believe a good pregnancy is the best cure for aging. I personally believe that my health condition in general is much better than pre-pg except for my memory which stays as bad as it was or even worse. So, in short, that your AF has not shown up may relate to your returned youth! Hope you can get preg without ever see your AF!

Tammy,

Good luck on everything you are doing. I in fact hope your adoption will get through so that we can see your little cute Chinese girl. I meet many of these cute girls here at medical center. I even met an adopted Chinese boy once which is rare. I am always kind of jealous, I know, I know, I should not be, but I am and I cannot help it...

Sabi,

Good luck on your transfer and hoping a positive for you!

Tracy,

Hope you will see a strong heartbeat soon!

acrornmom,

Strong morning sickness normally indicate a healthy pregnancy. I had bad and long morning sickness during both pregnancies. Enjoy your quickly expanding belly with twins!

Have a nice weekend, everyone!

Sabi: WOW 18 eggs!!!!!! Let us know about fertilization. When will you have ET? I will keep you in my prayers.

Yasmina: I just want Andrew to have a sibling. If adoption works out that would be great. We have a Log In Date of 6/09/06 and the CCAA has currently finished matching babies to families with LID's of 3/14/06. There are about three more months of LID's before they get to us. Of course, they have only been doing 2 - 7 days a month.

Tracy: How are you doing?

Rhonda: How are you? I hope you are doing better. You are getting closer now.

Acornmom: I'm sorry that you are having morning sickness, but Yasmina is right. They do say that morning sickness indicates a strong pregnancy. I never had any morning sickness with Andrew, I guess I was lucky.

Kat: I'm hope you are DH are feeling better.

Catharine: Good luck on your next attempt. Maybe us old broads still have it...........LOL. I don't feel like 45 either. I agree about the viagra ads. I'm tempted to move our thread to another forum.

Sha1: One more week until your surgery.

Renee: How are things going? When are you going to start stimming?

Take care all,
Tammy

Good morning!
Just a quick in and out. I guess all this 'talking' about AF worked, she arrived this morning. Never thought I'd miss her so much. Conflicted with feelings because she marks the end of what I thought was a beautiful cycle and now I feel I'm back to the drawing board not knowing if we will have success or not.

Sabi-18 eggs wow, fingers crossed.

Everybody have a wonderful weekend :)

Good morning ladies,
Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. Just wanted to let you know that
12 out of the 18 fertilized! Not bad huh. The embryologist will be calling tomorrow morning to let us know if it will be a 3 or a 5 day transfer. Please keep our 12 tiny little embryos in your thoughts and prayers. We are hoping for big numbers these next 1-3 days. I'm feeling it........
Sending PMA & babydust to all!!

Sabi - GOOD LUCk tomorrow !!

Sha1 - GOOD LUCK on Friday !!

Catharine - welcome back to the rollercoaster!!

Tammy - Hope Andrew gets a sibling soon. Keep us posted as to what is happening.

acornmom - hope you are feeling better.

Kat/Renee - Hoping you both the best. Just keeping you both in my prayers and waiting for you both to join us again on this rollarcoaster.

AFM - Good news - saw the heartbeat today!! Now it is off to the high risk OB/GYN next week. Still a loooooong road ahead, but we have at least moved a little bit closer. One step at a time !! My boss can't keep it a secret any longer so I told her she could tell at work. Figure that is good. They were there for me last time when things didn't work, so I know the power of their support. Looks like this will be a "community" pregnancy this time (LOL). :lol:

What a relief, the viagra ads are blocked at last!!

Tracy, so happy to see you are progressing so well! Wish you the safest and best journey for the next few months.

Sabi, all the best!

Sha1, GOOD LUCK on Friday !!

Hello to everyone else there.

I am trying to enjoy my 3-months break before we start the next IVF. Just hoping, the remaining weeks won't be too long! Trying to get ready for it. I am doing Yoga, follwoing Brenda Strong's CD, and regular walking. Just want to be mentally ready for the race again.

Tracy: That is wonderful news!! I remember the first time that I saw Andrew's heartbeat I cried.

Ladies: Thanks for the well wishes. I had my ultrasound today.
Lining was 11.4mm. Left ovary had 1 - 21x23 mm folly.
The right ovary had 1 - 17x13mm folly and 1- 11x12mm folly. So I only had one mature folly. I was really hoping for two mature ones just like
last month. I will take the trigger shot tomorrow morning and then scheduled intercourse the next few days. I think I will proceed to gonal-f next month or a combo of gonal-f and femara.

Take care all,
Tammy

Tammy-fingers crossed for you as well. Remember all it takes is one.

Yes thank goodness they finally blocked the viagra and cialis ads and the XXX rated ads that were at the bottom.

Nidhi-good to hear from you.

Tracy-what a wonderful feeling it is to see the little ticker in action.

Big hugs to you all.

Catharine, children, nidhi, sha1, acornmom, tracy, tammy- sorry if I missed anyone- How are you? Need to catch up on the personals, sorry. Thanks for all the prayers, crossings, & well wishes- they are working.
et went fabulous. Very cool to see the procedure on the monitors. Watched the embies leave the catheter. On day four: froze 1 9 cell & 2 compacted, (I think day 4) day 5: froze 6 blasts!! 2 fresh blasts were transferred. Is that not incredible? Nice to know we have some back up. I have to run to work. Wanted to share in my good news!! Hope all you youngins' get BFP's !
Thinking of all & sending babydust, pma & sticky dust across the map!!
