chili- what does your dh do? sorry he has been at work, but the extra $$$ is definitely a plus :-)

chris- i'm really sorry about your clinic being so disrespectful & rude. like you said, even if they don't have the results, they should still call you & tell you that. i'd definitely complain! i'm thinking of you!

lauren1171- how annoying! i'd be mad, too! i hope they call w/ your b/w results.

amanda1979- it's way too early! definitely, do not give up!

franny- i said a special prayer for you last night & have been thinking about you!

didi- can't wait to hear your 2nd beta results!

lauren319- welcome! i'm sorry you're not feeling good...i hope you get better soon!

lou- your #s sound great! you'll be pupo soon!

nbfun (nancy)- so sorry that insurance isn't covering your cycle...it's ridiculous! i hope you can get your pap done sooner. even though you'll be cycling in september, i will definitely be following you & rooting for you.

annpage- can't wait to hear how many you've got in there! all that matters though, is that the baby(ies) is/are healthy!

tammy- yeah, my sil & bil went through ivf/icsi 7 years ago. they put 2 back, 1 split...& voila, triplet boys! they're awesome! love those kids :-)

Franny: I'm so, so sorry. I'm heartbroken for you--I was so hoping that this cycle would be the one for you. I'll always be on your side rooting for you no matter what you decide to do in the future--whether it's donor eggs, donor embryo, adoption, or nothing at all. I'm thinking of you--PM me if you want/need to talk.

Franny- My heart goes out to you and I am so very sorry it didnt work this time. :cry: (((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))) Remember you are still thinking about trying a new RE and maybe they can try something different that your current RE hadn't thought of.

Chris- How rude of your clinic to just leave you hanging. I hope that they call with a BFP this morning to make up for it. If not then I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose to do.

Ashley- Hope you are feeling better. Did you ever hear back from your nurse about the BCP?

Lou- Glad to hear your follies are growing well. Cant wait to hear how many eggies you get on Monday.

Ester- Wow you are brave for babysitting triplets. My brother has a two year old son and he keeps me busy all on his own. Are you still waiting for AF? What's next for you?

Amanda- I think you should try the First response too. I took one 3 days before my beta last cycle and it had a very very faint line. My blood beta only came back at a 23.9 and resulted in a chemical but the stick still picked it up that early.

Karin- Have you looked at any more donors? I hope you find a good fit for you and DH and remember you will be the baby's mom because its you who will raise, nuture, and love it with all your heart. As goes for your adoptive children. Good luck with what ever you decide to do.

Ryann- My Grandmother has a pace maker and had to have it replaced several years ago because it stopped working right. She is fine and strong now and I know your dad will be just fine. Sending prayers for your family!

Lauren1171 I cant believe the u/s tech wasnt willing to do the u/s. I would be so mad at the front desk lady for scheduling you wrong. I hope you will at least get an E2 level back today.

Chili- Dont worry about being a Sept. girl for your next cycle. I will be there with you as my ER/ET wont be till the week of 9/6. I'm not sure about my acupuncturist as he only has put needles in my legs and arms so far. Seems everyone else gets them in their stomach, face, head, and ears. :? Do you guys think I should be concerned about this? I know its still along time till my cycle starts but I just want to make sure I get as much working for me as possible this cycle!

To all my other sisters out there please know that I read all your posts everyday and am sending love and prayers to you all. I havent posted much because there isnt a whole lot going on with me but I am here cheering everyone on.

Afm- Only thing new to report is my "baby in a box" arrived this week. I had my saline ultrasound done on Monday to check for polyps and cysts in my uterus and everything looked fine. My RE took my blood pressure three times while I was there and each one was high. He had me go see my PCP the next morning and it was still elevated so they put me on high blood pressure meds. My PCP said they would be safe for the baby and that sometimes if blood pressure is high it stresses the body and can keep you from getting pregos. So hopefully it will help and my embies will stay strong this time. So I guess that's my big update for the month. Cant wait for the 17th to roll around so I can get started on my Lupron. Love to all of you!

Franny _ (((HUUGSS))) U Know I feel your pain. Where to go, what to do, Should you go on with your own, do donor egg, donor embryo, adoption, just give up? I have BTDT. Really the BFN's don't get any easier. In my case they get harder cause I know I am at the end of the road and out of options. If you want to vent or just talk you can always PM me. R U on facebook?


I did finally get my beta results, negative. I did my beta test at 11 so the nurse didn't get them till later on in the day and then completely forgot to call.

Lauren1171 -- Thanks! It's getting tougher to keep my "Lauren's" straight...lol. That's really frustrating about your appointment confusion. I don't blame you for being angry. Really sounds like they were the ones who messed up! Did you get an E2 level? When do you go back?

Lauren319 -- "Gattaca sh*t"...Funny! BTW.... I feel crappy too. Really tired, sore abdomen, and headachy. It really shouldn't get any worse... hang in there!

Didi -- Good luck on your second beta. Down the road, I'm sure your friend will understand why you didn't tell her right away. I don't blame you. After what happened to me, I'm not telling anyone until the second trimester!

Chris -- I'm so sorry your clinic forgot to call you. That's terrible! I'm even more sorry your news was another BFN. I was so hoping this time would be different for you. I know you are planning to move on but I want to personally thank you for your contribution to these boards. You have been an inspiration to many. I wish you love, health, and happiness in whatever you move on to.

Chili -- Those herbs sound interesting. And a little scary...lol. I'm a pharmacist so I'm very careful when it comes to supplements as well. How was your acupuncturist able to estimate that you would get "5 good eggs" if you drank the "tea"? Did she have any data using those herbs? Did you get a list of what was in them?

Ester -- I know! I will be PUPO soon. Maybe in about a week only. I'm so scared and excited at the same time. I've been pregnant before, so I know it's possible. But my baby died due to chromosome issues which were "incompatible with life". So that terrifies me.

Franny -- Oh no hun... I'm so sorry! It's so hard to get that news. I really was hoping with everything I had that this time would be different for you. It started out so well. I don't know what to say except that it just plain sucks ass! I don't understand why science cannot perfect the odds on this whole process. Let me know if you need to talk. I'm here.

Teresa -- My BP is somewhat high too. When I'm not at the Dr's office it's not bad... maybe 102-130/75-85. But when I'm at the office... holy cow... it could be 150-160/90-100!!! It's crazy. So the RN doesn't document my BP when I'm there. Instead I have it taken at my hospital where I work and fax it to them. I used to be on BP meds before I made the decision to get really fit. Regluar exercise and losing a few pounds (maybe 5 lbs) made a difference for me. What BP med did they put you on? There's only a few that are compatible with pregnancy.

AFM -- Oh lord do I feel crappy today. I feel like I have the flu and I just wanna sleep. I can't wait for this work day to be finished. I didn't have SnS today but go back tomorrow. I hope it's good news.

Franny and Chris just wanted to let you know that it saddens me to know that things are not going as you would like them too. Although, I have just joined this board, I feel like each person here is a close friend. And I want my friends to be happy. I just want to hug you both.
