Hello everyone....I'm back!!!! I needed a little vacation. Now I'm feeling much better and still waiting on AF. I'm all alone in the Waiting for AF stage..man that's lonely! LOL

Thanks to all the ladies for the well wishes. The ball was great! We had a great time. I truly felt like a princess and he was my prince! LOL ..the castle was also wonderful...it was beautiful and so COLD in there. I'm going to post a link to view my photos from the ball tomorrow when I pick up the disc.

I'm going to be reading some of the posts so that I can catch up but congrats to DandMe! I just saw the post about the BFP!! I'm looking to see more of those.

Baby dust to all of you, how I've missed all my girls!

Well I got the beta and honestly, I am not sure what to think!!

I know I tested TWO DAYS before my beta, but I was still hoping for bigger numbers..

26.2 is what we got... I *think* I should be happy considering that was only at 7dp5dt... would you be???

2nd beta tomorrow...

Can this 2ww feel any longer? I am channeling myself to the day of my beta and getting my "your pregnant" call! Ok, I need to find something else to do. heehehe PMA, PMA, PMA! Honestly, what makes this 2ww even harder are the PIO shot side effects...tender breasts...on and off slight cramp, tiredness. Cruel...just plain cruel.

Lou- welcome back from your ski trip, sounded like you had a blast, other than the fall.

Bethany- fingers crossed for a great fert report.

And my 2WWaiters- Sonya and Katie- tomorrow is YOUR DAY BFP!! Many prayers and fingers crossed for the both of you.

Miyaya, Karen, Tracy, and Merri (birthday beta) wishing and praying for all positives for next week too! I know the 2WW is horrible, but hang in there, it’s always worth it.

Latrell- hang in there sweetie, you will be up and running full speed very soon

Ashley, Sam, Jacqueline- how are you ladies feeling? When is the ultrasound?

I am sure I have missed many but you are always in my thoughts. I need to catch up you girls type in your sleep

Do you ever feel like... "why am I going to post my numbers to all these people?" - I feel like that now... but I want to say thank you.... all of you... because without you I know I would feel like a one-man band or the ugly duckling or something... no one else, even DH gets why I (or should I say "WE") obsess about every little number and every little thing when it comes to tmt... so thank you support sisters. ;)

that said, a real quicky - gotta hit the shower & the sack because I'm going to work for the first time this week, tomorrow.. then i'll have the wknd AND George Washington's birthday off! ;)... but will be unconscious much of that time ;)

My nurse called this afternoon. Sticking with my reduced dosage of meds and my E2 is 1786. I am thinking it is quite likely that I may not trigger until Saturday... ugh. Which isn't a huge deal, since i think both my sister & SIL will be here Sat and will be able to stay at least thru Monday... but you know when you think something is going to be sooner, it's almost worse to push it back a day... We'll see. Another S&S tomorrow @ 7am. I also hope we trigger tomorrow so I won't have to go to the Annandale office over the wknd - it's further away and it's the weekend for goodness sake! I want to sleep in! (well, until about 7 anyway! ;) )

And also quickly to a few...

Sonya - Image
Don't worry about the numbers! Just keep your PMA and pray for doubling!!

Bethany - Good luck at your ET!! Keeping everything crossed for you and your embies!!!

Miyaya - Sorry to hear your spotting is getting heavier. You sound very positive though.. you are right, do keep your eye on the prize!! It is not fun to have to stick it out round after round, but you WILL get there. Hang in there...
Image

Katie - tomorrow is the big day!!! YAY! It's finally here. I know you only had an 8dw, and it seemed like longer for you, but I have to say, it has seemed long to me too and I'm not living it!!! I am just so anxious to hear those three little letters from you!! BFP! Can't wait to hear it!!!! (or read it!!)

DandMe - Congrats! It's so early, you will probably see big number soon. Yay another BFP for our board!!

J&C - I'm so over the 2WW as well and I have another week and a day! I'm the same - so tired, a little crampy, and boobs are sore. PIO is my favorite :-)

Katie – Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry about the cramping. It might be possible it’s just stress and nerves? Stress does crazy things to our bodies. I’m still sending you hopeful vibes! (((HUGS))) I’ll be waiting on pins and needles for tomorrow’s result.

Hope – You poor thing, I hope they schedule you soon. I know you must be so uncomfortable. Hopefully that means lots of great little eggs! Put your feet up and a little heating pad always made me feel better  How many are you expecting?

Claud – Sounds like a GREAT day. Isn’t it nice to know we can still have fun times despite all this craziness? I would so be out there sledding if not for this awful 2WW! I hope AF is over soon and you’re on to bigger and better things.

Miyaya – So sorry honey! I hope you find out for sure very soon so you’ll be over this awful part. Take care of yourself and do something extra nice for you this weekend. Hopefully your DH has something special planned. Big hugs!

Bethany – Sending you lots and lots of luck! Come on great embies! Good luck on the ET!

ASM - Same old same old. Almost done week 1 of 2 WW. Starting to cramp more which only makes me wonder more what is going on down there in my belly!! I started to use my guided meditation mp3's which has been enormously helpful for PMA and relaxation. Might try to schedule a visit to the acupuncturist for a little 'third eye' support next week!

Claudia,

I also still have AF and tonight was my 6th night of meds! I asked the u/s girl yesterday and she said she doesn't know anything but doing the u/s. Helpful...I think she was new! The nurse calls me later in the day with results but most of the time I am at work and there is a patient in front of me so I can't ask the crazy questions I would like to ask.

Hope, ya I know I should relax but I want it over lol! I am hoping for a trigger on Monday since I have Wednesday off already and the following Saturday and Sunday for ET. That would make my work life much easier. Next S&S is Saturday so I doubt trigger will be Monday. At least I have not had a snow day drive yet. I don't know how some of you do it.

hello ladies, hope everyone's well! I had a panic attack last night and went to the closerby hospital. As usual, I had the acupuncture for allergy elimination. They found out the one of the mineral that I couldn't pass and caused me hair loss, pee out of control and had to wear sanitary pads, and more allergy symptoms. So, I had the session on Magnesium and this is the one that I cannot pass. The doc tried to find out why I couldn't pass, she then used finger muscle skill to find out I had a trauma at 18 that block my magnesium absorption. That contributes to the depression and asthma that I had. During the session, she needed me to rerun the trauma when I was at 18. I kept crying but was stopped after she's done with the session. I thought the trauma was gone. Until I got home to keep the first 25 hours without eating anything with magnesium, I then mistakenly took 2 tablespoons of raw honey and found out honey actually has magnesium and other nutrients. My body started to detox and my whole body is shaken out of control. The shakening couldn't stop. I called my insurance and she wanted me to call 911. But I thought I could see urgent care first. It turned out urgent care was closed and DH had to take me to ER. When I was there, my whole body was out of control shaking and crying, couldn't stop or talk. They tested my bp, oxygen level, temperature is right and good. The physician assistant then came and told me that I had a panic attack. I thought I had asthma but she checked and told me that my airway was clear but I know the upset stomach kept me from breathing. They were very nice and gave me a GI cocktail and an Ativan to calm my anxiety down. They let me lay down on the bed for a while before discharge me. They prescribed me Ativan but not GI cocktail. They said I can only have GI cocktail at ER. Anyway, I'm feeling better and shakening and crying stopped before discharge. I will go back to let the doc to check whether my magnesium is passed or not.

sarita28 : I'm not a morning person too. I normally stay late until 12 midnight.

Hope644 Hope you can go to SNS appointment tomorrow! Are you close by DC and the snow is 28"? Keep warm!

Katie Isn't it true (if i remember correctly),the cramping is coming from implantation? Sending you lots of sticky vibes!

claud662: did RE say that you can go for SNS on day 6 or after? Am I understanding wrong? Is it for baseline SNS?

miyaya: Sorry for the spotting! will see you on the march/april thread!

Lauren1171: Hope the u/s is ok!

DandMe: Sending you sticky vibes! crossing fingers for you!

bethanyneedsluck: keeping my fingers crossed for you!


afm, I found out YAZ BCP gives me anxiety, nausea, bloating, lower abdomen cramping. I told the coordinator to let me switch to Reclipsen. I tried it before and it worked well for me. I also talked to the patients advocate last time when I went for SNS appt. She told me that they have patients who love acupuncture and they can coordinate the acupuncturist going to their clinic and do that for the patients an hour before ET. I'd never heard of it before but I have signed up last time after she told me. [/b]

AFM so i have to put this prayer in as i promised publication! I am not that religious but i saw it in the paper the other day and hey I need all the help i can get, you never know it may work!!

The Miracle Prayer: Dear Heart of Jesus in the past I have asked for many favours. This time I ask for a special one (mention here). Take it dear Heart of Jesus and place it within your own broken Heart where Father sees it. Then, in his merciful eyes it will become your favour not min. Amen. (say this prayer for 3 days. Promise Publication and prayer and favour will be granted, no matter how impossible. Never known to fail. Thanksgiving for favour received.

Hope it works!! Time will tell
