Hi Teresa - that's great to you guys are focusing on the positive. You are going to have one beautiful healthy baby! That's great that they are taking extra good care of you. I know everything is going to be great on the 26th! I'm glad you don't have ms...my friend is pregnant right now and have the worst ms ever! She's been throwing up and dry heaving all day! I know we secretly want symptoms, but good news from your RE is better than throwing up!! tee hee. Have you told people yet or are you going to wait until the first tri is over? Any fun ideas yet on how to tell people?

I'm doing good. Really glad I am taking a break. It's difficult sometimes because it's been 3 years now that we've wanted to have a family and I'm always ready to get the show on the road, but I am really enjoying just taking care of myself right now. I'm leaving for Disney World on Wednesday for a girls trip! Taking my 10 yr old neice to universal for hogwarts castle! Really looking forward to the rides! Then, yes, haven't done a whole lot of planning yet, but can't wait for costa rica!!

Lauren319 -- how very frustrating that the nurse didn't you your beta numbers. I'm so sorry to hear the number went down but how frustrating that you don't know "down to what" ARGGHHHHH Please keep us posted on your next beta.

Teresa -- I think I've already said this but can't remember so I'll say it again just in case. I'm sorry for the loss of one of your babies but ever so glad that one is still thriving. When is your next u/s?

Lou -- You have beta tomorrow, right? Can't wait to hear. How are your headaches? I thought of you last night. I had a horrible headache. I'm trying so hard not to take any meds during this whole process but uggghh my head last night was killing me. It was totally sinus related. I would lie down on one side and when I would roll over to other side, I could feel all the sinus junk move in my head. GROSSS I finally gave in and took Sudafed and was able to sleep from 2a -7a. I would have slept past 7 but I had to get up and do my injections. anyway, I thought of you and the bad headaches you've been having. I hope you are feeling better.

Kaylie -- You have ER today, is that right? I hope I have that right. Can't wait to hear your fert. report!!!

Amanda -- Whoo hooo for the meds and grow follies grow. :-)

AFM -- I'm back from my appointment. Right ovary now has 7 measureing less than 10 but she said that they were all very close to being measurable and feels by Monday they will be. Left ovary had 3 measurable and 4 less than 10. That's a total of 14 follies right now. Whoo hooo Grow follies grow!!!!! I have to order more Bravelle but they aren't sure how much. They for sure want me to have enough to get through Tuesday morning.

Tiger- I bet you guys will have a blast at Disney world. My best friend just got back from Disney Land in California with her boyfriend, future MIL, and his two kids. She thinks she had more fun then the kids did! I havent been to Disney Land since I was 7 and cant wait for our little one so I have an excuse to go back. I love rides both kiddy and scary so I know I will have a blast even if I'm in my 30's.

As for telling people we were planning on doing that on the 11th when we saw the hb but after losing one of the twins and the hemorriage still being there we decided to hold off a little longer probably till we are out of the first tri. Some of our family and friends already know but Josh did want to share it with his side of the family yet because this is their first Gchild and he didnt want to disappoint them if something were to happen. I dont mind waiting as I dont even feel prego yet and the reality of it still hasnt set in.

Nancy- Thank you for your kind words then mean a lot to us. It looks like you have quite the clutch of eggs growing! So do you have another u/s on Monday or is it Tues? Our next u/s is on the 26th to make sure the hemorriage is going away. I think it is because I keep passing brown, old blood but nothing else.

It's Friday, woop, woop. Well it would be if I did not have to go back to the hospital early tomorrow. No saturday sleep in for me. Winter is here and we are back to dark evenings. I love English summers but winters last forever!

Well. I had my second scan today. Remember I said there were 31 follicles as of Tuesday, well there are more, nearing 50 now! 1 is measured at 18, around 20 between 10 -14 and the rest under 10. I don't have to take an injection again tonight and they may take out any eggs the earliest Wednesday. Ideally I want to have at least 15 to 20 good eggs and I will be happy! Grow folls grow!

Hi ladies,

Just a quick post here. I'm still not feeling well. Still with an off and on headache and nausea amongst other things. Ugh! I'm dealing the best I can at work and not being able to take any meds. My beta is tomorrow. I should know my result by late afternoon. I'm trying to prepare myself for any result. It's hard. I have such hopes but I don't want to read into these symptoms I'm having because there's always another explanation for them too. I'm not sure I'm ready to know!

Thinking of you all. I'll update tomorrow when I get my result. Thanks for all of your prayers and support.
XOXO

Well my beta wasn't the greatest today..
It did rise from 241 to 337 but it still seems so
low to me.. I'm too scared to get excited.
It seems like everyone says if they font double
that it's not a good sign... Should I hang on to hope??

Lou - I'm sorry that you've been suffering through such bad headaches. How hard it must be to be surrounded by meds and you cant take any to relieve the pain- ugh! I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and will wearing my fingerprints off tomorrow with the damn refresh button! I know today is the hardest to get through, but I'm sure that you're busy so that should help. I have every confidence in you getting the answer you want tomorrow - and I cant wait either. Keep the faith and I'm wishing you loads of patience dust to make it to tomorrow - much love to you my friend - xoxoxo
