sdc,

I am so sorry. Take some time for yourself then decide where to go from there. My prayers are with you.

Riley baby maybe,

Hurray for a BFP!!. Damn HPT, cannot trust them, but a beta #, that's the ticket!. I am so happy for you.

Katie,

WTH???? Is RE going to stim you into a "normal" IVF? I totally understand the sucky drive, especially when you have to go everyday. Get some great tunes and zone out on the drive.

Cami,

You lucky duck! FLORDIA, really I am so jealous. What time is your beta scheduled for on 2/3? Mine's at 9 am, so I hope to have results quick. I am probably going to POAS on Sunday or Monday (I know the HPT's are evil, but I want to try and prepare myself for a BFN.). Was having twinges and pulls, now nothing.

gi,

hope you are feeling better soon. Make j take care of you.

Chris,

I really hope this IUI worked for you. Its great that you have a sis that is willing to help, but hopefully you will not need her.

rlk1,

Damn evil sticks. Try to keep PMA. My prayers are with you.

Molly05,

welcome. You will find alot of support here.

Franny/Heather/Niki/Kim - All of you?!? Don't get too upset over the results you're getting. Seriously, I did my beta draw and went home and POAS. It was NEGATIVE...not even a faint line. So, I was a bit shocked this morning when she called with my number and even asked if I could verify my SSN! :lol:

My personals for everyone are in the works, but I had to send this one out for PMA. I know you guys aren't going to let me be the only BFP, so quit POAS!! Consider this your slap on the hand... :P There is still so much hope for you all! PMA, PMA, PMA!!!!! :D

Thank you all for the well wishes & congrats. Praying baby Viggo sticks around for good!

SDC-So sorry for you news. Hopefully your next cycle will bring a BFP your way.

Jacqueline-CONGRATS!!! We needed some good news around here. I am so happy for you, and may you be the first of many BFP's coming this way!

Franny,Heather,Niki-Hang tight girls. I can understand testing to prepare yourself, but don't give up all hope. I think I may give into the evil POAS this Sunday myself. I am not sure. My DH wants to just wait and see but there is a part of me that wants to be prepared. I know it will be a little early since my Katie's chart my Beta day would be the first possible day for a positive HPT. I guess we will see how the weekend goes.

Beth-I hope your 2ww is just flying by. Let us know if you do POAS this weekend. I am thinking about doing it Sunday so I will keep you posted.

AFM-I am obsessed. I can't get baby's out of my mind. Nor can I help thinking this didn't work. When they did my transfer the embryologist refered to Rip and Cord as beautiful, but I can't let it go, so I am waiting for a phone call back from RE's office as to their grade! LOL I keep comparing their pics to others online and am just sure that they are 4AA...but what the heck do I know. Plus as their mommy my judgement is just a wee bit off I am sure. Also....I am breaking out!!! This is normally a sign of impending AF, but if this doesn't work she isn't do for 2 1/2-3 weeks. Hmm...is it the hormones? I have several LARGE sore pimples...GROSS! I have also had a ton of indigestion. I know all these things can be signs one way or the other...but I am just convinced it didn't work. Then last night...I came home from work after working ANOTHER 11 hour day and the house was a disaster. I lost it and was yelling at my two older kids for not picking up. It was a complete melt down on my part. :oops: I am sure it's hormonal, and fatigue, and hormonal fatigue (LOL) but I snapped. :evil: Then I sat crying because I knew that again it would fail because I snapped. It would fail because I am a bad mom yelling at the kids. It would fail. I hate the 2ww. I need some PMA today so hopefully I will get a call telling me my embabies were the perfect grade!!!

OMG LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!! What is going on with this board today?!! Is it a full moon tonight or something?!!! There is a complete and utter lack of PMA floating around this group and I am just trying to figure out what the root cause is?! Let us not forget that we got our VERY FIRST BFP today!!!!!! That is a great sign of things to come, right? Now, chins up, everyone--unless you have proof positive (i.e. a beta) for a reason to be negative (and of course, then it is perfectly acceptable not to have PMA today)--but if you do not fall into this category--then buck up, little campers!!!!!!

I know it sounds a little trite coming from a cheerleader that is heading to Florida today--I am desperately trying to finish up a ton of work at the office so I can leave--but I felt compelled to drop what I am doing and regulate!!! Consider this your reminder to get it together!!!!!!!!!! Love to you all and let me sprinkle some PMA dust over all of you!!!!!!

XOXO Cami :wink:

Wow!! Today really seems like an emotional day for everyone!!!!

Jacqueline-CONGRATS MOMMY!!! That is crazy that you didn't even have a faint like with a 92!!!! It just shows us all that it aint ove till the beta blood lady sings!!!! Do you go in tomorrow to see if it went up? Sorry to hear about your OHSS symptoms and I hope you feel better soon but they say it can get worse before it gets better when you get a BFP so hang in there and no the end destination is closer!!!

Katie-I can't believe you aren't triggering again?!?! That's insane but also great that you have these 7 follies growing so nicely inside their mamma!!! Keep us posted and I love the slap on the hand talk to everyone!!! I also agree that a V-day outfit or something has to be done if I get that positive phone call on Sunday the 14th!!! Maybe I will search online for something but I don't want to jinx anything!!!

Samgarkay-I hear you about emotional breakouts (and facial ones also!!) Since going off the pill a year and half ago my chin is NOT happy with me and my mom has to point it out everytime I see her like I don't know I broke out already!!!! I actually emailed my RE to see if facials were allowed and she advised against it so I guess washing my face and coverup is the way to go :lol:

Cami-what I wouldn't do to go to Florida right now!!!! We were talking about if I got a BFP to drive the California coast in May when my High School Program is done and renting a convertible!! My vacation lifestyle has been put on hold until I get this damn BFP!!!!

Gi-Feel better and I will be thinking of you Friday!!

Molly-welcome to the board!! We all undertsand the ups and downs and questions of infertility. Please use us as a sounding board and we will support you the whole process!!!

All my 2ww girls....keep uo the PMA!!! I agree with Katie and you all have POAS too early and Kim-I'm holding out for Darth to pull through!!! xoxoxo

AFM...Got the "official" call from nurse and I start PIO on Sunday the 31st and stop Lurpon and go in Tuesday the 2nd for my final SnS and then transfer is Wednesday afternoon!!! SOOOOO EXCITED!!! I will probably do acupuncture this Friday, then Wednesday morning, and then the following Friday!!!

OK - so I feel partially responsible for the negative PMA and all the HPTs. I hope my situation didn't cause any of you to test early (not that I would be so conceited to think so). Honestly, the only reason I did mine yesterday (6 days before my beta) is because I felt so bad and it was the same symptoms that I had when I was pregnant before my 2nd miscarriage. I totally agree with Jacqueline that HCG levels can be decieving and from what I have learned totally depend on the person, the embryos, and of course timing. I am convinced that we will have some more BFPs in the next few days.

I am working on personals - I just don't have a piece of paper in front of me to take notes because there is no way I can keep track in my head.

Love to you all -

Jacqueline- Congrats on the BFP I so happy for you


I got my period today and did a blood test to confirm what I knew was true. So, BFN for me. My clinic called and all they could say was "sorry". My NP said she was truly shocked and that they are doing a case review on me next week on wed. I am to call her back next thursday to review what was said and the plan of action. I am just completely dumbfound because the problem the first time was my eggs that was fixed now this time I have trouble carrying it... WTH I have been feeling nausea and because I have been pregnant in the past I did feel pregnant... So I am just in shock. I think that something just genetic was wrong. Thank you everyone for thinking of me I truly appreciate all your well wishes and love...... well off to go unwind and decompress... Love you all Laurie

to have fun 08 Thank you so much for the explanation - I just couldn't figure out why the follicles were empty. I thought (heard) that if there's a follicle than there should be an egg, but it's making a lot more sense now. Good Luck to You & wishing you a BFP :)
