Angela - you are pg and your baby is fine. Don't worry about numbers... I am sure your baby is just fine and just hiding a little. I tell you you can relax and enjoy those few days... it's going to be ok. I am cheering and praying for you girl. Hugs. btw miracles take time to form and accept

natakia - I am happy you transfered 2 awesome embies good luck to you dear and welcome.

AFM - I got my last test today and so intend to ship it tomorrow I hope they get it right. But it says clearly that they "think" it will be "xxxxx" and not to .... not sure how they put it but like you can't sue them or anything. Anyways the house should sell this week so no problems

Franny and Deb - I am so, so sorry for your test results. It doesn't help, I know it doesn't, to hear the sorrys, but please know that we are praying for you both to have peace and comfort. Deb, I think you can try again after taking a month or two off.

Angela - I have been checking all day to hear your results. I am so sorry for this roller coaster you are on! It sounds like your numbers are still increasing at a good rate, which is awesome! I just wish it would increase more to give you a peace of mind. I think you are doing wonderfully, but I know it's hard not to be scared at this point. But just remember that you have been having a steady increase and that is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

Lauren - Praying for those little eggs to both become little embryos!

Tammy - Zach (and you...and your DH) will be in my prayers tonight and tomorrow. My DD went through open heart surgery last year and I was a MESS! I knew about it for MONTHS, then it was postponed 5 weeks because she was sick (in which time we did our second IVF cycle). We knew before bringing her home that she might have to have surgery, but until we were actually faced with it, I didn't think much of it. I was just as worried about the anesthesia as I was about the actual surgery! She did beautifully, and I am confident Zach will as well. Our DS was 20 months when we had him circumcised (they don't do that in Russia), so I was terrified of him going under as well. It's just how we react. Please let us know how everything goes. I believe you are ABSOLUTELY making the right decision. And trust me, this is the right age to do it. DD was 18 months when she went in, which is what I think Zach is now. Do it while they are young...and write down or blog what you are going through and take pictures. I know it sounds crazy, but I wrote nearly every emotion, and it is so interesting to look back and see how we came through it.

AFM - I've been feeling pretty good still, just getting more and more tired. My spotting finally stopped sat and sun, came back just a little this morning and has stopped again. I KNEW it would come back a little because it actually hurt when I put my vagi-pop in the other night, so I wasn't surprised. I have my next u/s in three weeks and it can't come soon enough. I would have thought I would feel great after seeing the babies for the first time, but I guess we never feel completely confident. Oh well, I am appreciating every day.

Deb - I am so sorry to hear about your negative. I have done back to back everything since Sept 11, 2009. I did 3 IUIs, 2 fresh IVF, and now a FET. My BFN was March 6, but I got AF the day before that. I started the BCP on day 4 of period, and was only on it for 10 days while they got INS approval for next cycle. Waited for AF again and did FET on April 16. Only 6 weeks from my BFN! Basically I had an ET on Jan 5, Feb 24, and April 16. All REs are different though. I want to just get it over with and I guess mine does too.

Hey everyone! I am SO sorry for meing MIA, but it has been gorgeous here so DH and I have been working non stop in the yard.

Had my first sono today and we have 1 perfect bean!
And I got some more good news, I can switch back to suppositories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATED the shots!!! My thighs are on fire, so sore. I never thought I would be happy to say I am going back to suppositories, but I am!!!! Hope all is well, I need to catch up badly, but I just popped on to check email and share the news.

[lou71]

Franny -- I'm so sorry sweetie. Please take some time for yourself and then consider your options. I know how hard that BFN call is to take. Thinking of you. XOXO

[rayofsunshine]

Franny-I am heartbroken for you and wish you didn't have to go through this pain again You will be in my thoughts and prayers! (((((((hugs)))))))

Tammy-What a very scary thing to have Zach in surgery. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that everything goes very well and he recovers quickly.

Angela-I'm thinking of you, and hope the numbers start behaving to put you at ease and give hope back to you. It seems like the worry never gets to officially end

You are all in my thoughts-I hope everyone is well!

Sara

Franny - Oh my gosh - I'm so sorry!! I know you must be completely devastated right now. Wherever your path leads you and DH, I feel in my soul (and I don't know you at all!!) that you will be a mom one day. Take this time to grieve and know that there is a plan and a path for you and DH - you are in my thoughts and prayers!!

Angela - keep your head up darlin!! I'll be thinking of you!!

Tammy - I'm thinking of your fam during your son's surgery right now - everything will be just fine!!! Kids are incredibly resilient, he'll be running around by dinner time!

AFM,

Last Thursday I started to bleed a bit - nothing too heavy but definitely more than I'm comfortable with. It turns out I have a small subchorionic bleed. I feel like a lot of people on this site get this - it's pretty common from what I've read. Anyway, I've been trying to take it easy and not think about it too much. I have another SNS on Thurs which should also be my last visit with my RE. I start seeing my OB next week - and have another SNS scheduled. Hopefully this thing is shrinking!

To all the new ladies - welcome! There is no where better to be right now! To all the BFNs and BFPs, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

xoxo

Hello Everyone,
I have been in Boston since yesterday. After my ET on Friday, my DH did not want me moving around too much so I was resting most of the time. Yesterday my stepDS was in an engineering competition and my DH saw me pick something off the ground and he told me not to bend over until I go get first beta test. He made me sit down until I had to observe. It was sweet but he wants me to rest as much as possible. My grandmother has had two strokes since Wednesday night and the doctors are trying to figure out where the blood clot is. I wrote a message on here twice and both were lost. My aunt and I will meet with the doctors to figure out the game plan. Any procedure is a risk to her health at this point but we have to find out what is going on to treat her better. Everyone is nice and my aunt is telling everyone that I have babies on board. Only a few people know I had IVF. I only told people who were close and supportive of me. Visiting Boston has kept my mind off the 2ww but I do remember to take my prometrium 3x day.

I am very sorry to hear about the recent BFN. There are no words at this point to describe the disappointment and roller coaster of emotions but the women on this board are supportive and I know many people are closer than other but we all wish each other the best and share in the excitements and disappointments. This is initial cycle and I am hoping for a BFP. I know I can post on here and people can visualize or feel, through words, the journey we are on. God has a plan for all of us and many times we don't understand it. For those who have BFN, take the time to grieve and lean on others, no one can go through this process alone. I will continue to pray for the March/April Cycle group and also pray for anyone going through IVF.

I hope everyone has a blessed week. I will not have too many chances to post since I am at the ICU most of the day. I pray for some positive news from my grandma's doctors. God bless everyone and baby dust to those with little beans and are in the 2ww like myself.

Franny, Deb : Im sorry girls.....i know how it feels.....i've had BFN for three fresh cycles......but still picked up myself and decided to go for the current FET. We have the strength inside us dears.......its perfectly okay to cry for a few days, feel down and depressed like everything is over. thereafter, the strength will come back to you, and you will be planning out your next move, full of positivity and hope. may God bless you and be with you. Lots of love and hugs to you both.

Helene : try not to get stressed by your daughter. her age is going to make her rebellious. if she is destined to go by a particular path, just let her, dont blame yourself or stress yourself over it.

Tammy : How is zach doing? must be such a variety of emotions in ur head right now!!

Welcome to the new girls not that i'm a veteran i joined over the weekend. its great to have so many friends, sailing through the same turbulent seas of fertility issues as we are.......real support.

Loads of love to all you girls. and loads of luck.

About my symptoms : Well, none as yet. i hope you're right when you say only 10% women experience the implantation process im feeling perfectly normal, no bloating, no nausea, no sore boobs......well....i hope its a good sign, coz in my earlier failed cycles, i had sore boobs, and crampy feelings,
but maybe that was coz those were fresh cycles, and this one is a controlled cycle FET. lets see, i have a long long way to go......beta hcg only on 05/01......wonder why he's making me wait that long. had my FET on 04/16

[Franca]

Hi ladies,
Thought i would let you know whats happening with me. My Beta is on friday 23rd. I'v had so many symptoms, from a low grade tempreture 4 days on the trot (comes on in the eve) to aching fanny. I have a feeling the aching fanny is because iv not been able to orgasm for 3 weeks. That is a very very long time for me.
i will do a poas on the thursday as i dont think i can hold out any longer. Also i would rather have an idea before the hospital. This 2 ww has not been fun!!! 2 more sleeps til i get to know more.

hugs and love to all of you, il keep you posted

[babyluv]

Tameka - I am so sorry about your grandmother. I've been praying for her. I know it's comforting that you know where she is headed in the end, but it's still hard to see her go through it. She and your family are in my prayers.

Tammy - My kids and I prayed for Zach last night, and I did just now. Please keep us posted when you can.
