Ok--I need to make one adjustment to my earlier post as I am still catching up on what has transpired during my two day pity party--Beth--I caught my misinterpretation of your situation, but that doesn't change my sticky thoughts for you!!!! I feel pretty good that congratulations will still be in order--so I have everything crossed for you!!!!!!! I hope you get a really great call from the RE today!!!!!!!!! XOXO Cami

hi ladies. cannot wait to hear today's beta results.

GL tomorrow Katie!

Merri~ great news on the ER. cannot wait to hear about the ET. sounds like you have a good crop.

AFM, I have mustered up some PMA! Instead of reading up on negative things, I searched for some success stories....those are always inspiring and it helped a lot. So I am feeling cautiously optomistic. But i am keeping the odds in check. I am just hoping I will defy those odds:) In the meantime I am trying to be more proactive. I have already called the insurance. Great news, I think we will have enough to try again. :) I have also started calling to some new clinics....I think we might consider changing next cycle. Boston IVF will be opening a Maine Center this month. Its actually the same building my old RE was in. Apparently they will start doing harvests and transfers by March. So that might be an option and would be so much closer. Hopefully it will not come to that but it makes me feel better to be proactive.

This weekend is very exciting for me. I am throwing my best friend a baby shower. Now this might seem odd but she is my best friend with fertility issues as well. She and I started at the same time approx 5 years ago. Since them, she has had 2 failed IVF, 6 failed FET and lost twins at 22 weeks, had 1 chemical and 1 lost at 8 weeks. She is finally pregnant 32+ weeks with a baby girl. I am so happy for her and this is certainly something worth celebrating. I think it helps me keep everything in perspective. Something I need these days.

I hope you all have a good day. [/img]

Morning Ladies...

Still a little disapointed this morning since today was supposed to be my transfer but I'm really trying hard not to let it bring me down and to stay positive that my next transfer will only be 3 weeks away!!

Cami-I just read your post and wanted to let you know that my last cycle I had spotting/bleeding for 5 days before my beta test and went to the RE and ALL my hormone levels dropped so they pumped me full of hormones and then I ended up getting a 137 beta!!! I sadly ended up having a chemical but I want you to know that spotting/bleeding does NOT mean you wont get a BFP today!!! Good luck and keep us updated!!

Jacqueline-you naughtly little girl!!! You are too funny and I hope that your numbers are through the roof today!

Katie-My almost 2ww sister :cry: I am having EVERYTHING crossed for tomorrow's transfer and I really hope your dreams are answered this cycle!!

miyaya-STOP STRESSING!! You put back two great 2 day embryos and you should have PMA that this will work!! There is NO reason it won't!!!

Merri-welcome back!! So glad to hear that 8 fertilzed and I am keeping fingers crossed they keep multiplying and they will be back in their momma very soon!

Kim-Yes...I unfortunately gave the name Darth but I LOVE Luke a lot better!! I'm rooting for him this March and I will follow your journey so let the force be with you!!!!

Sonya-I can't wait to hear about your ET and how many you transfer and I hope your trip home goes smoothly and NO heavy lifting!!

Ashley-hope your numbers double!!! Sounds like twins to me :P :P

Franny-how did your F/U apt go today? What did the RE say? thinking of you always...xoxo

good luck to all the women getting their Beta's today and I hope we get some good news!!!

Back on BCP's and Lupron and I go in Monday for my day 3 SnS so just trucking along!!! love to everyone.

I'm so excited! I just had my u/s this morning and they found 18 follies that are growing just lovely! This is my first time through this, so I just had no idea what to expect. Things are progressing very quickly, so I may have my ER this Sunday! I am going in tomorrow for another U/S instead of waiting until Friday!

Hi everyone!

thank you for all of the well wishes! I just have a minute for a flying visit
I dont even have time to read through new posts - I am running around like a crazy woman trying to get house, cleaning, laundry, shopping done before my DH has to take over during semi bed rest - so of course we wake up this morning to find out the hot water heater died last night and decided to flood the basement!!! ARGGHHH!!!! Like could the timing be worse? And the plumber cant replace it until tomorrow! I"m so annoyed
I guess it'll be like Little House on the Prarie (sp?) tonight trying to bathe
AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!! :evil: I'll do personals & update this list later this afternoon! Crossed for all the betas today!!!! :D love you guys - xoxo

Ok--so apparently I saved up all of my 2ww craziness for the last 45 minutes of this process. Someone please tell me to get my head out of my rear and my computer off of Google. I know better, right? Everyone knows that dark red bleeding is bad, right? There's really no two ways about it, right? I am going totally nuts waiting for this stupid call just to tell me it's over (which I would have been ok with)--but my body is being just plain mean. My boobs are like buzzing (anyone had that one before?), my nose is dripping and bleeding, I'm peeing every half hour to hour and I have a disgusting metallicky taste in my mouth. Fine. But I'm also still bleeding--so why is hope such a cruel mistress? And why the f are they taking so long to call me and put me out of my misery? I'm sorry. I swear that I really was ready for the BFN--so why all the mean trickery at the last second?

Meanwhile--stepping out of my own head for a minute--Chris, I hope the evil HPT has something better to say today!!!!! Dodo--hooray for AF!!! I hope you get a call back from the RE soon!!!! Miyaya--congrats on being PUPO!!!!! Gi--yay for no headaches and the blessed nuns!!! Thinking very positive thoughts for you!!! Katie--maybe your Laura Ingalls bath will be just the thing to settle your mind for tomorrow!!!!! Claud--looking forward to hearing good news from your US on Monday!!!! Merri--10 eggs sounds great and great fert report!!! That's awesome!!! Everything crossed for you!!!!

Ok--I am going to go back to staring at my cell phone. Does a watched phone never ring? I got no patience and I hate waiting.

Cami...step away from google and stop staring at your phone!!!!! It sounds like you have pregnancy symptoms and I really hope you get good news!! When I spotted last cycle it was red and I would almost classify as a light period and still got a high beta-so there is still hope!

GOOD LUCK!

Ronda--I am SO SO sorry!!! I have a pretty good feeling that I am about to be getting the same call and it really sucks. Let's have a glass (or three) of wine tonight--I'll be thinking of you. Fingers crossed that the RE remembers what he said!!!! I'm very sorry and I know all about the pity party--I only stepped out of mine to have a "crazy party" this afternoon--but I'll be back shortly.

Cami - Go lie down on the floor with a blankie, do some yoga breathing and try to relax! There is no way to know until you get the call. But do know that ALL OF US have been there and we totally understand what you are feeling and we are supporting you from afar! Imagine all the little hands lifting you up a little from the ground...

I hate doing personals from the phone, but I have a few minutes before work, so here goes!

Beth-where are you my cycle sister? I am sure hoping that your beta today gives rise to great things! Please let us know....

Cami,Ronda-I am so sorry ladies. Words really can't begin to say how sad I feel for you. Throw the pity party and cry if you want too. Great things lie in store and will unfold themselves only at the right time.

Chris-how did HPT #2 go? Fingers crossed for a BFP!!

Katie-tomorrow is your big day! How excitied you must be and how ready to be PUPO!! I'd say good luck but really I don't think you need it, I think your story is the perfect example of what I was saying to Cami and Ronda about great things unfolding at just the right time! Thinking of you girl! I think we are going to donate our embryos. They may be hard to place as my dh and I are an interacial couple, but eventually I bet they will find a loving couple for them!

Sonya-was ET today? If so how did it go?

To everyone else I am thinking of you all.
