[Lauren1171]

Katie and Sonya Congratulations again!!


Hope Good luck Sunday with ET!

ASM I still have AF so I called the nurse today. She said that due to AF and my low E2 number at last u/s my RE is prescribing an estrogen pill that I should take every night before bed...VAGINALLY!!! Gross! Of course it was not ready when I went to pick it up! Has anyone used that before???

I waited all morning for news. And then I leave for a couple hours to take DD to the Library and things go crazy!

Congratulations Katie!!!

Miyaya-I am going to be praying and crossing everything for you this weekend that this is a sticky bean. I have also heard of hematomas early in pg that cause bleeding, but the bean is fine. I am really hoping something wonderful is happening for you.

Katie - CONGRATS, MOMMY !!!!!!! You and DH totally deserve this!!!! I was also waiting today to find out your great news. You give us all hope and renew our faith in God

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! IT WORKED!!!!! BFP!!!!! 65 !!!!!

I cant believe it!!! i wanted so badly to hope, but was kind of scared to let myself get too up - because downs are so painful. I'm in shock! Even my DH is just standing around with a stunned look on his face. i have to go monday for beta #2 - the really scary one - EEEKKKK! I'm pregnant!!!

Katie, i'm so happy for you! Now you know that it's not your body, it's only the egg. i'm so happy again that you make it. sweetheart! you deserve everything! xoxo!

So much excitement today! I hope it continues on through the weekend and next week! My friend stopped by to give me my shots tonight after work, as usual. She is pregnant and due March 10th. She's been having contractions off and on all week. She's now having them every 12 minutes laying down. Her Dr. said she doesn't think she'll make it through the weekend, and she'll most likely have a Valentine's Day baby! I'm so happy for her!

I am currently having a boring Friday night at home. My first time in a long time I've actually had the energy to go out, and no plans. What is everyone else doing?

Hope: ER Sun! Yeah! Good luck!

msmac: I know I am new to here, but congratulations on your BFP! I am sure you can't wait for the u/s. I didn't know yet that your husband is not with you right now. I am sorry to hear you are going through this without him at your side. My husband and I will be going through a similar situation come up in June. If I am pregnant as planned, he will be gone for the last few months of the pregnancy and the first few months of our baby's life. But, I know he will be here for the rest of it, and we will be a family when he returns. I am dreading the day he has to leave, though. Wishing you the best and a wonderful Valentine's Day with your sons!

Sarita28 (Sarah)- its okay. When I first got on this board, I had to play catch up too. Katie thought it would be more personal if we put our real names with our screen names. I liked that alot better. Going through this with all these girls is great so we might as well know each other on a first name bases. Is your DH military also? My husband left for Afghanistan in December and will be home in June so I understand how you feel about him leaving. I wouldn't of been able to go through this alone if it wasn't for all the wonderful ladies on this board. My DH and I kept it a secret from our family until we got the BFP, so these girls are my family because they new everything first! They even knew about my BFP before my DH!

That's exciting about your friend maybe having a valentines day baby Don't feel bad about being bored, I'm watching "House" so, you see how my night is.


XOXO

I've been offline for a while, but I just had to check in and see how Katie's beta went --- CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am SO happy for you!

[sarita28]

Roshaunda,

I agree, it's good to know people by their first name, especially when you're sharing such important moments in your life with them. Actually, my husband has to go back to his home country (Honduras) in June to await his green card. He will be gone for up to 1 1/2 years. I've done really good at not thinking about it until this last month. It's no longer "He's going next year," it's now "He's going this year, and in 5 months!" There are a couple women married to friends of my husband that are going through the same thing, so I have them for support in that area, but both of them are "Fertile Myrtle" and don't understand this part of my journey. The only thing in my favor through all of this is that I can go visit him in Honduras during this time if I have vacation and depending on where I'm at with the pregnancy. I just hope I am pregnant before he leaves; it will definitely make the time apart pass faster!

That's great that your husband is coming back in June! He'll be here for the birth of your child. My husband and I agreed that it is ok for him to miss the first one; we plan to have more children (God willing) and he will be here for all of my future pregnancies.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having a less than exciting Friday night.

ok, sorry, I have spent the last 1/2 hour watching Dirty Dancing on tv instead of reading up and doing personals and now i have to go to bed. I just had to say before I turn in, though... you know you are a babbling bunch of hormones when you cry like a baby (haha, baby - nobody puts Baby in a corner) when you watch this old movie. Who knows why I'm crying, I just am... oh, and I cried with my nurse today too when she told me that she can see the change in me since DS. TOO MUCH ESTROGEN! NEED EGGS OUT OF BODY BEFORE I GO NUTS!

Only you all would get that... thank you.

[dodo928]

hello ladies, i just want to say that I's supposedly going out to L.A. for CNY's eve gathering with my in-laws. Because I had the acupuncture session today, I's not able to eat a lot of food. DH has cancelled tonight gathering. We hope to go out on next Saturday when I'm getting better. Now, it's normal to feel weak in the 25 hours so as to let me relax and detox all the things out. I really want to have a free treatment from my acu doc because if she could let me in after my screwed up mineral sessions instead of keeping me a week before I could go back and messed up my whole system, I don't have to go through all these. I know she's a single lady with her DD at UCI. I see recently she didn't bundle her hair up and also had her nail polished in sharp red color. I know it's only happened when a guy stopped by her office. I know it's not my business but I hope that she can be more focused on her patients. i tried to find the founder of this technique at Buena Park but found out she and her DH are retired. Other acu doc doing the same things charged a lot more and less experienced. At one point, I was blaming in my heart on her. But later on, I started to blame God because that's where she's coming from. I prayed to God to give me a good acu doc so that my health is getting better. I kept yelling at God (excuse me, I know I'm crazy but I remember the deacon at the church told me before that I could get mad or angry on God). So, I did. I guess he might get my email finally. My trauma at 18 years old had a break through 2 days ago. And my anxiety had a break through today too. She even taught me the point on my body so that i can massage it to make me feel better after going home. Anyway, I just hope I'm on the right direction and no more screw up on me and her. Also, I want to thank again of all the prayers!

love you all!

KATIE I am SO excited for you!!! I had to back up and read a million pages to get the full story and bawled through all of them! I am sure you are sporting perma-grin with this awesome news. ENJOY it mama

[DandMe]

Hope I have to say thanks for the awesome congrats and I love the idea of a Valentine's ER LOL I hope it all goes smoothly and you guys have a nice relaxing evening together... (you'll BOTH be a bit sore), but conception will be happening anyway... lol

[katie99]

Oh, you guys - I am overwhelmed by all of your good wishes! I am so grateful to have you all in my life! And thank you to every single one of you for all of the invaluable support through the past year of endless cycling! I am sure that I would never have had the push to keep going without you guys - loads of love to you all!

My DH has been so funny tonight, he has come up to me a few times already and gets all mushy and say 'we got a 65" -hee hee - like it was a math test or something. Too funny! It was a happy day around here and I hope the BFPs keep rolling in! We need some more - lots more!

Chris -thanks! I'm sorry to ruin a work day for you - I wanted them to call sooner too! This was a long time coming. I'm sure hoping that your DE will be your last cycle too! much love & respect to you -xoxo

Cheeky -OMG! can you believe it finally happened? Took me long enough, though huh? A few? Oohh I hope you have LOTS of drinks for me
I've missed you alot! - xoxo

Franny -thanks! I was starting to wonder if it would ever work -
I got so excited before that my brain refused to function. Like eek! i finally got a bfp - but now I'm dumb? wait thats not fair! Yours is coming
I feel it! Enjoy your night out in Boston! - much love coming your way - xoxo

Gi -thank you honey, I was crying when reading your post. Its true, this was a true gift from God! How else can we explain timing like that? Hmmm, this was lucky #7 for me and you're stimming for? -
oh, yes! I remember you're on lucky number 7 too!!!! I think you'll be on mat leave pretty soon! And dont you get a really long time? xoxo

Ronda -thanks! Yay for shouting at me! I loved it! I believe that your bfp is right around the corner! - xoxo -still X'd for no vaca for you!

Lou -I'm gonna send you mountains of sticky baby dust! You'll be buried in it. Be careful of the avalanche Psssst - I did eat Chinese food on the night of ET! Can you believe that just 2 weeks ago you got me squared away on the donor subject? And look what happened? I'll be cramped up staying crossed so tight for you! - xoxo

Roshaunda -thanks! Yes, God is very good! How are you feeling mama? Hope no m/s (morning sickness) acting up yet. I'm sorry that your DH will be a while getting home yet. I'm sorry that he & all of them have to be there at all. God bless them all and keep them safe. he'll have so much to catch up on, plus your pg hormones will be in full swing by then! xoxo

Hope -thanks! Yiiipppeeee for trigger! I know by now you just want them out - quick, please! OK, just 1 more day, you can do this! Will you two try to sqeeze in a Valentine's date since Sunday will be maybe not so romantic ? Nothing says love like a man in a pink gown on V-day! Crossed for lots of healthy eggies! xoxo

Tracy -thanks! Awww, honey, that was so sweet (holding back on the library!) Hope you all had a good day - that was my favorite reward when I was little -How are you feeling?

Kim -thanks! I miss you! You know I will cyber stalk you on the march thread, right? I read your post today - WTH?? was it head up nurse's behinds day at your clinic? - big hug - xoxo

Miyaya I know this will be a longer feeling weekend for you. I understand your need for caution, but if your DS was a 30 beta too - I think you're so close to that - and you're b/w was a week before your scheduled beta. I'm crossed for you and sending you doubling and tripling vibes!

Marci -thanks! -I hope that I dont cramp up being crossed for your cycle too! And just let me know if you get sick of me crashing over there
I've got too many friends to keep an eye out for! Maybe I can be like a mascot or something?

Samantha -thanks! Tee heee! darn right!! I'll be POASing tom morning and let me tell you, if that dopey stick says neg - I'll be thowing it out the window!!!! How are you feeling now? Any new symptoms? Are you still working long hours? take it easy every chance you get! - xoxo

Ashley -thanks! yes, today is still early at 8dp5dt, but I'm pretty happy with a 65 - but I'm nervous for the 2nd beta on monday. Yes, I've been waiting patiently (for a year) to go to the pg side of the board. I was thinking, how does a multi month thread sound? like the way we do cycling threads? This way I dont have to break my addiction to you all

Olim- thanks! hi honey, how are you doing? Whew! you made it through the 1st trimster! Hooray for that! Hope you are having a H&H pregancy!

Sarita (Sarah) - thanks! Yipppeee for your E2 rising nicely! ER on Tues? that was quick! crossed for lots of healthy eggs! if you think having your DH clean house now feels weird, just wait until after your ET!
No lifting, bending, straining, cooking, cleaning or vacuuming - poor guy will be wiped out!

Sonya I'm having a hard time believing this - how about you? I think I'll wake up tomorrow and think I was dreaming!
Ummm mine is hard to figure out since I did ER then ended up with a FET
But it looks like my EDD will be Oct 22 - EEEKKKK!

Karen - I think you're next in line for that bfp! I had mild cramping every day starting day of ET, on 6dp5dt I had scary strong AF type cramps for 7 hrs straight and my PMA disappeared, then yesterday my mild cramps came back to confuse me I think! But thats all, barely even sore boobs at all. oh, one night I felt lightheaded too. You're so close now, just hang on a bit longer!

Dodo -thanks! You're time is coming so soon now! I cant wait to hear that you're BFP! I think you should definitely get another acu treatment, since yours was screwed up by minerals. if they mess up your session - yes you deserve another! - xoxo

Ray (Sara)OMG! it was the craziest 2 weeks, from hearing I have no eggs, to donor embies to PUPO to bfp - jeez when I think of it all of that in a 2 week time frame, no wonder my head is still spinning! I'll keep you in my prayers for DE to be the answer for you & your DH also. This has been a long wait for you too. I think that your bfp is just around the corner too! So much luck to you! - xoxo

Yes, that was the longest post ever! lots of love to you all - xoxo
