Hi girls,

Ah Sonya i am sorry it is a real stupid time for me to have spelling errors, i meant i wish you or anyone else Didnt have to go thro. this xxxx ((((hugs))))

Kittykat i think Ronda only got a faint line at 10days past transfer so its still early days, best of luck hon xxx

Lou best of luck tomorrow, i am going cross all me fingers and toes for you xxxx p.s i also work in a dental surgery i hope your tooth is ok and that you dont also need root canal as well as the crown as you really shouldnt be in too much pain if getting a crown, in Ireland we rarely put on crowns without doing root canal 1st. Come on BFP!!!!!!!

katie hmmmm sounds very suspiciously like the start of M/S!!!! Everyone as you know has different types of m/s you will know more in the next few days if a pattern forms, enjoy it you have waited a long time for it I hear you on the cleaning the house business, j wont let me lift a finger but he works long hours and my blessed mam is going to call out weekly to clean my house she would kill me if i lifted a finger and would probably lock me in her house for the next 8 (please god) months just to make sure i do nothing!!!!

Lauren i work in a dental surger too!!! I do reception and nursing.

Stephanie might try do a ticker next wk, we dont do betas here so will do another digital pregnancy test at wkend that says the words pregnant followed by number of wks so if it reads 2-3 wks (which means 4-5 wks pregnant) i will put one in as it means the hcg has increased and havent a clue when i will join the mommies i may need a shove and some dutch courage!!! or should i say irish courage

Ronda you must be excited over beta thurs, i could only imagine your shock if it was multiples am i correct in remembering you transfered more than 2. Cant wait to see you add a ticker

Cheekyone thanks a mil for your wishes i am still in shock!!! excited but scared and taking one day at a time but its all good. Best of luck with your fet i really hope you get your bfp xxxx will be stalking you too

I may have missed someone ready to test???

AFM nothing major happening (thank god) some slight cramping but nothing major and my (.)(.) are getting tender . Got all my meds today so well stocked up and talking to my baby all the time telling it to fight those nasty killer cells and cling on for dear life!!! With all this new time on my hands i think i have finally lost the plot
right may go Greys Anatomy is about to start and theres a giant cornetto icecream calling my name..... i swear these steroids are giving me a huge appetite!!!

GI - I am the office manager, but I used to be an assistant....been here for 16 years lol. My boss is a Root Canal Specialist, so I was thinking that's what poor Lou needs also. But I will have my fingers crossed for you tomorrow Lou with Beta, and that it's just a crown! Good Luck!

[claud662]

Sonya-I'm soooo sorry hon. Words can't express how badly I feel and you and DH are in my thoughts/prayers.

Lou-good luck tomorrow hon! I'm pulling for you!!

GI-thanks for your dancing to me!!! all the hips shaking and grooving has to help right!?!?

Ronda-GL with beta

Katie-sounds like m/s to me!! feel better and thanks for thinking of me

Lauren and Gi -- (dental office girls) OMG... no root canal!!! Never had one. Basically over the past ten years or so I've been complaining of a sensitive tooth (tooth #29). It hurt to chew crunchy things... heat/cold intolerance, etc. My dentist did x-rays every year but couldn't find anything wrong with it except the "root horn" was super close to the surface. So about a year ago, he recommended doing a crown with no root canal to protect it. It worked and all was well until yesterday when I broke the freakin' crown! So now after the painful removal of the remainder of it, I'm going back in two weeks for a permanent crown replacement. The x-ray today showed a healthy root! Go figure????

Thank you everyone for the luck for tomorrow!!!! I really hope it helps. My DH is very optimistic.

[Hope644]

Lou - thinking of you for tomorrow's big test!

Good luck today Lou. We are all waiting impatiently for the result...

Words cannot express how truly sorry I am to hear the sad news! I know this must be devastating for you and DH. We're all here for you and ready to listen. I hope you find some healing and a way back to being your sunny self very soon. XOXO

Franny -- Well said! And thanks for the luck today.

The blood has been drawn and I'm trying to keep busy at work. Approx 5 hrs to go until "the call". I'm so scared. I need to make sure that I can handle it if it's negative... I know I'm going to try again. So I'm focusing on that.

Hi everyone -

I'm reading along, but there is just nothing new or interesting from me, same old, same old. I can barely contain myself for the news today and tomorrow around here though! My RE's financial lady left me a message to call my lame health ins company regarding coverage for my visits from ET until now. So i call and am told I need to register for infertilty coverage WTF!!??? My ins DOESNT cover ivf as we've been all out of pocket, but they do cover the u/s & b/w . So I tell the woman at the ins company "isnt it a little late for this considering that I'm 7 weeks pg?" And she told me that my pg monitoring while still under the RE's care should have been included in my ivf package and that they wont cover it. Big surprise there since you've covered nothing else! So I guess the RE bills will get bounced back and fall in our laps again - ugh! I dont even want to think of how they will limit coverage when I finally get released to the OB! I give up - I hate health ins companies!

Lou I am getting cramps from being so crossed for your beta today! I'm sure that I will erase my fingerprints from hitting the refresh button over and over - SO MUCH LUCK to you my friend - xoxo

Ronda I cant wait to hear your beta number today! They we can spend the rest of the day guessing how many are in there!

Gi The winter thread is patiently awaiting your arrival ! and your Mam's also!! What? Did you say that you have HPTs that will tell you how many weeks?
I've never heard of such a thing! How awesome is that? What is your schedule now for drips? And will you have to stay on bloodthinners the whole time?
Go get your ice cream Mama! You deserve it!

Claudia OMG!!!! YAY!!!! Hooray for a green light for Friday!! You'll be PUPO in just 2 days!!!

Franny Aww, your post made me sad. I hate to see threads end. its hard to go off in different directions - I'm waiting patiently to see you get your long awaited and much deserved BFP! I guess I will just stalk your march thread more often. I have been checking up on you, but m/s has finally kicked in and its like having a small window of "I feel ok " time each day. About your needle question, you can use the 21gauge to draw up the PIO, then twist off the needle and switch to a 22 gauge to inject it. I assume you are on PIO in sesame oil? I ask because if you are on the ethyl oleate you can save your tush even more and order 25 gauge needles to inject with, but if its Sesame (like me ugh) then forget it, you can barely even draw it up with a 22 - I had to switch to an 18!
much love my dear friend - xoxo

Positive /Kittycat Just 1 more day guys! You can get through this!

[Arabsrcool]

Just got the call. My beta is 459!!! I go back in on Friday for a 2nd beta, so everyone keep your fingers crossed that I get doubling #'s! I am in shock.....I really am pregnant!

[Stephanieford78]

Ronda - AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Awesome to get the numbers to prove it's real isn't it? I am so happy for you!

Lou - We are all waiting patiently with you for your results. Hang in there and keep busy.

katie - I know how you feel about those insurance companies. Mine is Tricare, it's known to be the best, covers everything... except infertility!!! Took forever just to get a referal, they wanted me to go 3 hours away to an Airforce base for infertility treatment. That makes a lot of sense. Then finally I was able to convince them that they made no sense and refered me to the RE I wanted only 30 minutes away. Tricare will cover tubal reversal which can't be done on me. They cover blood work and US, but not as a part of IVF or infertility of any kind unless it is diognostic. Isn't that nice? They cover the meds, but with a copay, at least it isn't a lot. I got really lucky with my FET, my IVF staff all gave me tons of credits, I am sure out of pity, but that works for me. I am still not sure on my out of pocket cost, but from the looks of it... it is somewhere around 500-1000. Still waiting on my final statement.

AFM - I am waiting for my PCM to call me back with my numbers since I cheated. I guess it really isn't cheating since if I still am going along like I should, I need the test with them to go to OB. I am on the edge waiting and I am sure they won't call me until the end of the business day.

Hi girls! I know I checked out but I have been reading up when I can. though we are taking a break, I still need to check in on my girls and see whats going on.

Sonya~ I just saw your post.... I am sooo sorry! I can only imagine how you are feeling. THis just is not fair. I was really hoping for a better outcome for you. Hang in there girl....we are all thinking of you.

Katie~ I see that things so far as going well. I am so happy for you!

Well like I said, I have been lurking to see whats been going on but too much to catch up on. DH and I are doing well. We are going away this weekend just the two of us. We also both are doing weight watchers....though I only have 15 to lose, I want to make sure everything is perfect when I go in for my last cycle....which will be around june/july. we have started the process of becoming foster parents. we decided if the next cycle does not work, we would try to adopt an infant in state custody. I feel good about our plan. well that is all with me....hang tough ladies....and good luck!
