Hi ladies - I'm so far behind I'm not sure I can do more than a couple of personals.

Cami and Ronda - I'm so sorry about the BFN. I'm not sure what I can say except, yes, this sucks.

Riley - Congrats - it's good to see some good news!

Katie - all my love and good luck in your transfer tomorrow!

AFM - no miracles here. My beta went back down, so I'm officially done this time. I told my RE that I'm taking a couple months off and will try at FET in April. I don't know how much I'm going to be on the boards - I like to see everyone's updates, but I'm just sad right now, and I think that's okay. All my love and support to everyone! I promise I'll still be reading, but probably not writing so much.

Jacqueline--you should not be sorry to share your awesome news--that's totally amazing and congratulations!!! Your BFP is the reason the rest of us can have hope that this process actually works--we need more of them!!!

Beth--I hear you. This sucks. Ronda and I are having a pity party this evening and you're invited to attend!!!! Bring wine.

I will be sticking around (unlike my beans!!) to see how everyone makes out!! Follow up call with RE scheduled for 2/16. I guess the only good news here is that I definitely don't need to wait for AF--she came knocking two days ago. Hopefully we can just start right up again.

All the best to everyone. Katie--once again, so excited for tomorrow!!! Full report as soon as you're able!!!! Ok--back to the couch for me. Love to all!! XOXO Cami

oh my goodness we are not doing very good on this board are we?? i cant believe all of our bfn's! its not fair! :cry:

cami, ronda, and beth my heart is with you all. i am still having my pity party over here, but trust me...i did NOT want anymore company! i am so sorry...this sucks! :cry:

katie OMG OMG tomorrow is your day!!! soooo exciting!! if you transfer 3 tomorrow what will happen to the 4th? i am crossing everything for you! i cant wait to hear that you are PUPO!! WOOOHOOO!!
oh...but WTH is wrong with your water heater?? come ON! such bad timing! that is not what you need to think about right now. hopefully DH will be able to deal with it tomorrow while you are staying relaxed and calm! good luck sweetie...your dreams are about to come true! love you!!

jacqueline i dont know what we would do without your awesome news all the time!! what an awesome 2nd BETA!! and a day early too...you are so so sneaky haha i am so happy for you! its amazing! take care of that lil baby...we all need your luck to rub off on us....we need to come rub your belly like a buddha! its gonna be a long wait till the U/S, but knowing you, you will be sneaking in to that early too!! :wink:

afm so i had my F/U appointment today, and it wasnt as bad as i was thinking it would be. my RE did bring up donor eggs again, but said she thought it was very reasonable to try again with almost the same protocol again. as of today i am back on BCP's for a really long time. she seems to think that being on the bcp's will be helpful with my endo, and help "flush" everything out of my system. i'm a little worried about this since this last cycle i didnt take BCP's and finally made it to the transfer. i will trust her and see what happens. so i have to be on the pill until march 20th!! it seems sooo far away, but i realized it's only actually moving things about 10 days from when i would be getting AF next month anyway so i felt better. i will go in for my SnS on march 26th, and will start stims that same day. she said she wanted to give my body time after the BCP's to stay calm before stims. so i dont have to call on cycle day one....just come in on the 26th no matter what day i'm on. she is going to up my gonal-f and repronex, and said she would be very very aggressive right from the start.
so i think i need to start a march/april thread! i will still stick around and see how everyone does. i hope you all get your BFP's from now on!!
oh i almost forgot...i am having a hysterscopy next wednesday just to double check and make sure i dont have any polyps on my uterus. when i had my lap done to find out i had endo last march my doctor also removed a polyp in my uterus while she was in there. i re-mentioned this today to my RE, and she decided we might as well check again since its been almost a year, and she wants nothing to get in the way of my BFP this time!! ive never had a hysteroscopy before...has anyone else had one? whats it like? they seemed to act like its no big deal at the office today, but what do they know??
anyway you know i cant stay away from yall so i will be around with dumb tales of my life...even if they arent ivf...i need to share them with someone right?? haha

***much love always***

I LOVE YOU FRANNY!!! You make me smile and I'm so happy that they have a new protocol for you and will take a more aggressive approach this time!!! I will be joining you when you start your thread since my beta (if I don't get cancelled again) will be in March and I will need some IVF sisters to get me through the dreaded 2ww!!!

Cami-so sorry hon-I was really pulling for you and DH. Hope you can start again soon. I would call RE and see if they will put you on BCP's till your f/u apt so that you can start right away!!

Katie-praying and thinking of you tomorrow

Jacqueline-AMAZING NUMBERS!!!!sooo jealous!!

love to everyone,

Awww - no, I'm sorry that it was such a sad day around here. I was so hoping for lots of good news. Sometimes this place just makes me want to howl with the injustice of infertility! but whether its happy news or heart wrenching news - I wouldnt have made it this far without you all - I think of you all throughout my day & hang on the edge of my seat right along with you. I'm so thankful to have you all to go down this long road with. Sometimes having to get through the bad news to get (hopefully ) to the good news, I wouldnt find the strength to do this without you guys - Lots of love to all of you! - xoxo

I'll check in at soon as I get back tomorrow


Ronda / Bet / Cami -I'm so sorry - I was really pulling for all of you. Have some wine - lots of it. And let it out, we are all here for you, you have lots of support. rest, heal and recover. (((((((HUGS)))))))))

Chris I'm still crossed and hopeful

Franny -How did it go today? I hope that you're alright, honey - oh wait - we're posting at the same time again -hehe
I'm so glad that she wants to try your eggs again! :D :D :D :D - I was worried that she was on the donor idea and then you'd need to switch docs :wink: Wow you arent kidding, thats a long time on BCPs - my best results ( sept) came from being on BCP for over 4 weeks, then antagonist - so i'm hoping this agrees with you too! OK then ROLL ON March 26! I hope you know that I'll be crashing (all the time!) your March thread - if I'm not on it anyway! Sorry i have no answers for your hysteroscopy questions! - love you too! :D

Lauren -thanks - it would be impossible to keep track of everyone without it - when do you start stims?

Es -I absolutely LOVE your new motto! its beautiful and true!
How was it back at school? Did your students miss you lots?

Olim -Hi honey! how are you doing? yes, its been the strangest - but most wonderful week! Hooray for getting through the 1st trimester! Hoping you have a H&H rest of pregnancy! - nice and quiet, with only happy surprises - xoxo

Karen -OMG 24! WOW! I cant wait to hear your fert report -You'll have lots of pretty embies to choose from - plus snowbabies too! :D

Merri -Oh no, not low at all! 10 is a great number and 8 fert!!yippeee! :D

Miyaya -glad to hear that your PMA is up! These girls are great for that arent they? :wink: I hope that you dont need to think of changing RE's - just changing to an OB-GYN! I think throwing your BFF a baby shower is a wonderful gesture - it sounds like she deserves a hppy ending
Well we all do! :D

Gi -You're so close now! its almost time for stims - This will be it this time - I feel it! :D

Jacqueline -tee hee - you're too funny! Oh, my appt wasnt today?
I love it - you're a girl after my own heart - Whhoo Hoo on your 2nd beta!

Claudia -Since you are so special to all of us - where shall I put you on the list? I"ll put you wherever you want to be - FET? injections? BCP? you pick, my friend! :D guess it doesnt really matter much - since you'll be BFP soon enough! No sad thoughts today - 3 weeks? you can do that standing on your head - xoxo

Tiger -Yay for 18 follies - we said grow em - but jeez! :lol: its better to have every day monitoring, i know its a pain to keep going every morning, but its safer for you :D

Bei -thanks! hooray for finally getting stated! you definitely won an award for AF patience! Lets get going! :D

Dodo -Hooray for AF! Ooohh, you are so close now, my friend - now I just hope that your allergies go away!

Samantha -thanks! Oh, sweetie - I think that donating your extra embies is a thoughtful, selfless, generous gift to a couple who needs them!
yes, I'm really on board with donating embies this week :wink: I wonder why? hee hee -no seriously Bravo to you and your DH! I wouldnt think biracial embies would be an issue - unfortunately there are lots of us fertilty challenged women of all races - Sorry to get off track - How are you feeling? mom? :D

hugs & prayers to all of us - xoxo

Katie - Wanted to wish you the best of luck tomorrow.

To all the BFP CONGRATS!!

To all those that got BFN's, so sorry. I am right with you. It sucks there isn't any way to candy coat it. Hoping everyone can come up with a plan to either do IVF again or figure out a way to bring a baby into your arms.


AFM - All HPT are a BFN so I am done. Started spotting today also. Going to do some testing to see if the PCOS diagnosis is correct from my new RE. My sister is also getting testing to see if she will be a good donor. Will know more next week. Hopefully, March/April will be my months.

Good Luck to All!!!

I am just overwhelmed with all the sad news. :cry:
It's hard to believe that we have ten bfn's and only 3 bfp's! It isn't fair.

I'm not trying to dwell on the sadness but I really do feel for the ladies who didn't get their pregnancies....

To our three lucky ladies - I want to say congrats again!

My ET went well... we transferred two 4AB blasts without incident.... for the upcoming, newbies expecting ET I have a detailed account on my blog. I'm just laying around, with my laptop for company before tomorrow when I fly home. I've been gone three weeks...
