latrell,

sending you big ((((hugs)))). That sucks. Try to think of this as a expensive lab experiment, and now the RE has a better understand of how you respond or don't respond. I will keep my fingers crossed for your next cycle.

ketelise,

welcome to the group! I hope you do get your happy ending to your story. I will pray your 3rd FET will be a success!.

Franny,

I don't have any great words of wisdom for you. Just sending you big (((hugs)))). Maybe pamper yourself with a massage and a mani. Oh, and a big bottle of wine.

Lou,

AF can leave already!. I will do the AF go away dance for you again.

Dandme,

Sounds like you will have plenty of embies to choose from and freeze. Congrats on a great ER and fertilization.

J&C,

Glad to hear all your frosties made it to their momma. You are now in PUPOland.

moorebaby,

Welcome to PUPOland. Take it easy!

Miyaya,

a 2 day transfer??? WTH? I would demand some answers, after all, they are your babies!

Hope,

Sorry your bcp's are making you ill/depressed. Well at least you are done with the darn things. Sounds like your mom has alot going on right now, but is a strong lady. Thank god your sisters are there to help. You have enough on your plate already. Remember to give yourself a break, you are not superwoman, and cannot get everything done. Nuff said!

hms,

sorry to hear about the evil hpt. I am praying you defy that damn stick and get a good phone call from RE ofc. The BFN call sucks at work, no way around it. I will send you some good vibes and pray for a BFP.

karenthescorpio,

Yay for trigger!. Hope you have a great ER on Tuesday.

afm, I took another evil HPT this morning (11dpt). It was negative, not even a faint line. According to the chart, I should be showing a positive, if there was anything to make it positive (3 day frosties, 2 of which were going to blast at time of transfer). So, I go for beta on Weds, but it looks like another BFN for this thread. Dammit, our odds on this thread have been BAD! In the back of my mind, I keep thinking E.P.T. brand HPT are not one of the most sensitive according to Peeonastick.com, however, in my heart, I feel it is correct. So anyone know if you can do back to back FET cycles, or do you have to wait a month out? Trying to think ahead, that is the best PMA I can work up right now.

hi everyone
sorry to be crashing your thread but wanted check on some of my nov/dec cycle buddies:

katie - what a day this must have been for you! i am so happy your RE is making you this gift, this will be your time!! i strongly believe that the environment a child grows up in means so much more than genetics, this will be your baby no matter what. best of luck to you & DH and hope the snow babies thaw like rock stars!
franny - i am so sorry for your BFN. i have been lurking on this site & was so rooting for you. for me the BFN was as hard as the miscarriage, though most people outside of the IVF world can't understand what a BFN means to us. you are one strong lady & the pain will go away, and the best thing to do is accept the pain & let it hurt & start looking into what's next. it's been 2 weeks since our miscarriage and this past weekend was the first time i felt 100% again myself again. we had 7 inches of snow & i went sledding (sp?) w/ my 8-yr old neighbor, i fell on my butt so many times & laughed out loud like a kid again, it felt good. i wish you & DH success into your next step, whatever it is.
jacqueline/ riley baby - congrats on your BFP!!! i am really happy for you

to everyone else - baby dust & good luck to you all!!!
Me: 31, DH: 39, low sperm count, motility & poor morphology
IVF #1 Sep 09 BFN
FET Dec 09 BFP, m/c 6 wks

Beth,Heather,Chris-Best of luck to each of you today for beta! We need some BFPs around here so I insist you all get on board! Seriously, I wish the best for each of you!

Beth-Well, I think your right about being lucky to cycle with, but hopefully not at your own expense. I hope this is your time, but if not I say run the race of your life and then back on board for you!!

Sonya-That is an awsome report, now those little babies are growing! You'll be PUPO before you know it and on your way home! I have a good feeling about this for you!

AFM-Tomorrow is beta and I can't wait to go! I did a digital yesterday and it read,"Pregnant". I also used my last FRER and it had a very bright obvious pink line today x2. So, I think it's safe to say I will have a BFP tomorrow!

OK, I am going crazy......I had my b/w done this morning and waiting on the nurse to call with my beta results. The funny thing is that I usually get a call before lunch. And my clinic wasn't very busy this morning so it's not like they had a ton of samples to test.

I'm at work and have plenty of work to do but am having such a hard time concentrating!!!!

More later when I get my call.

Wow, its going to be a big news day around here. I'm so eager for have good news all around! I'm cramping up from being crossed for all of you!

Chris / Heather / Beth / Ashley -SO MUCK LUCK FOR YOU ALL TODAY!!

Lou -Arrggghhh!!!! 14 days?!?! Go away already!! I know you're ready to go skiing, please let AF just get out of town!!! Is your baseline when you come back?

Es -thanks! I cant say that it was this big heart wrenching decision, my ovaries are kaput. The look on my RE's face said it all. I've been making jokes to him about how he must pull his hair out when he sits with my chart, but he told me flat out that these last few tries, he was going more by hope than from his medical standpoint.So that was like a big wake up call! How are you holding up?
are you going mad with the wait? Or is your sweet Dad keeping you squared away? You're close now! Just hold on a bit more :D

Miyaya -Aw, hon, thats just not right to make you guys start a 3.5 hr drive without a solid appt - i'm hoping they called to say it'll be a 3dt

J&C -YAY PUPO!! I think that your DH is just feeling the stress & strain of cycling. I think that he'll come around - well actually I hope that you all wont need to since this will be a BFP!! :D

Karen -thanks! I was wondering where you were. Yippee for trigger and I'm wishing you loads of healthy eggs tomorrow!

Hope -Aww, honey - you have got so much on your plate right now, its normal to feel down. I'm glad to hear that your Mom is improving on a daily basis, but the strain it must add, plus the hrs you & DH work takes a toll, plus raising Gage - I'm with Ronda You cant be Superwoman! take some ME time for yourself - you SO deserve it!

ktelise -Welcome! Here you'll find tons of support, advice and friendship from this bunch of amazing women! I hope you get your happy ending this time!

Jenice -thanks! How is your BP these days? No, you're not crashing - have missed you!

Lauren -stims soon! Are you getting excited yet?

Latrell -oh, honey I'm sorry. I know how much it sucks. its happened to me plenty. Your RE will adjust and hopefully your next med dose will do the trick - good luck to you!

Ronda -ARRGGHHH! those damn sticks! I'm holding out hope for you since I've heard that FET can be known as late implanters - xoxo

Julia -thanks! I know how hard this has been for you & DH. I do hope that you're planning your next move, I'm so happy to hear that you're feeling better! sledding? FUN!

Samantha -Last but never least! WHHOOO HOOO!!! :D :D :D
I cant wait til tomorrow!

Sonya - It sounds like you'll have lots of beautiful embies to choose from! :D I'm sorry that your DH had to head back to work though
When will your ET be?

hugs & prayers to you all - xoxo

Hi Ladies!! I have been reading all the posts and have a minute to reply (I was working all day yesterday!)

Katie-I am sooo happy for you and DH and although this was a curveball in your journey-you guys are going to hit a home run!!!! Can't your RE defrost 2 at a time to see if they blasts look good before defrosting all 4 at the same time?!?!

Samantha-YAH for getting a pregnant on the digital! Sticky dust your way and I can't wait to hear your beta number!

Chris/Ronda/Beth/Ashley-I REALLY hope you all get amazing news to share and I will be constantly checking today on all of you!!

Lou-I would call the RE about bleeding for 2 weeks!!!! I hope it leaves in time for your skiing trip!! No getting hurt though-be safe :lol:

Miyaya-what is your ET status? I hope they push you to a 3 day but there is a lot of research that says 2DT are also successful so either way I hope the best for you

Sonya-YAH for a great fert report and boo that DH had to leave the other night. I will be thinking about you

J&C-4 snowbabies!!!! CRAZY!! I really hope this is your time and can't wait to hear your BFP!!!

Hope-I also hate the way BCP's make me feel but you are off them and will be starting stims soon so there is a silver lining to all this craziness...

Latrell-so sorry your cycle got cancelled. I really hope they start you right away after AF comes and will re-adjust accordingly. Thoughts and prayers are with you and DH.

To all those I missed-will attempt to do more personals later today since I have no work tonight!!

AFM...had my first PIO shot last night and the bum is a little sore today!!!! Am officially off Lupron (!!!) and started all the medicines. I go in for SnS tomorrow and HOPING there will be no glitches for my FET on Wednesday!!!! YAH for almost being PUPO and I have been trying to come up with some clever names for my frosties!!!

xoxo

Hi Everyone...

POAS 11dpo a BFN... Not surprised, though I do know it is kind of early. I probably didn't even ovulate till late on the 21st. Don't know why the dr. office said to do it so early. I know with beta tests it might pick up this early but I really would doubt that and HPT would. I will try again on Wednesday, a positive should defiantly show up by then.

Gi: Thanks a bunch. I’m in better spirits now. Can only take it a day at a time. Eyes on the prize!

Ronda: Thanks for the hugs! I really needed that. I had to laugh about the big lab experiment comment. That’s exactly what it was! At least I’ll be a pro at giving myself injections in my tummy. Bring it on! LOL.. And you keep that PMA! Every little bit counts, I’ll be thinking of you too!

Ketelise: Hi there and welcome! Best wishes on your 3rd FET. As someone told me, it takes a strong personal to be able to go through what we all do. I wish you all the best!

Hope: BCPs are evil! You know I was only able to take them once in my life. When I was younger. Then I went into the military and got off schedule and I haven’t been able to take them since because they make me so sick and irritable. I’m sorry that they make you feel that way. Eyes on the prize!

Karenthescorpio: Trigger time! Can’t wait to hear how ER goes. I will be thinking of you.

Katie: Thanks. I really didn’t expect to hear what the doctor said today. I need to find out what protocol I’m going to be doing. I’ve been reading up on the different ones and can’t seem to figure it out. He said that I won’t be on the Synarel nasal spray this time, that we’ll use a different med and increase the Menegon (it’s the same as Merional). I was wondering if he had increased me today and let me continue to stim if I could’ve kept going? I will definitely keep you posted. How you are feeling? I’m so excited for you. Can’t wait to get that BFP announcement from you!

Claud662: One step closer eh?? I’m still learning, but what is the PIO injection for? And do you have to do them daily? I’m trying to learn all the different types of treatments and meds generally given. Some are a little different because I’m in Europe. Can’t wait to hear what names you come up with.

Samgarkay: Congrats on the BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so happy for you!

Again, thanks so much for the kind words. I’m feeling a lot better now. Hubby and I are going to Stuttgart this weekend and site see. Maybe visit some nearby castles. It’ll be good to hang out! Katie put me back in the “Waiting for AF” column, I won’t be there long.
Lots of sticky baby dust and great big ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))) to you all!

The nurse called. My beta is a 10. So, they're having me stay on the progesterone until the RE calls me, but I can't imagine there's any hope. I don't think I've ever seen one that low turn out okay.
