page..

[lou71]

Leorira -- Thanks fo ryour understanding. I totally agree. Love the pic btw.

Klinger -- Thanks for the hugs hun. And HUGE congratulations on an AWESOME u/s! I am praying for two healthy heartbeats next week.

Tammy -- Aw... thanks for uour understanding as well. No BFP for me... AF came today. We're going to see if DH can come out for part of the conference but it depends on what he can get a ticket for. It might not be worth $400 for 3 days, ya know.

Karin -- Congrats on 10 embies growing!!! WOW!!! This is it... I can feel it.

Rio -- I'm going to be optimistic about DHEA for me too. I have to be. Maybe it's just what I need for a BFP as well! I'll be on it 10-12 weeks by the time I go to ER so hopefully that's enough. Did I already ask you what brand you took and where you got it from?

Sonya -- Congrats on the wonderful heartbeat! Yay... you did it!

Claudia -- Thanks hun for being my cheerleader. I love you for that, I really do. It's been a long road... but it's not over yet!

Cassmaster -- Thank you for your copassion. My journey will all be worth it when I get to bring home my baby. That's what keeps me strong.

Annashope -- I'm so sorry for your BFN. <hugs>

Angelaezra -- I soooo appreciate all the support I get from my old cycle buddies. Thanks for checking on me!

Margi -- Yay for being PUPO! Thanks so much for your kind words of understanding as well. I'm rooting for you bigtime.

Es -- How are you feeling hun? I'm rooting very hard for you two my friend.

AFM -- No BFP for me. AF showed her wicked self today. I'm going for an acupuncture appt this evening and I plan to keep that up with weekly sessions. DH is having is varicocele repair done on Wed 11/24 and I am having an HSG on the same day. Too funny.

Good luck to everyone in the 2ww!!!!

[TammyS]

Krys...LOVE the picture! You guys are sooo cute!

Karin...Good Luck tomorrow! What time do you go in and what time zone? I'll say a few prayers for you! Sorry the PIO sucks and that you have to go into the clinic to get it all.the.time. That stinks.

Lou...I'm so so sorry about AF rearing her ugly face. I was hopeful. I am sure that 10-12 weeks of DHEA will do the trick though. I hope your hsg and his surgery go well...and that neither of you are too laid up for long.

Rio... ::still impatiently tapping foot:: I'm sorry you cant pee...that sucks...and it isnt likely going to get better for awhile either since you have a BFP. Please make sure the doctor is watching you closely for fluid and doing ultrasounds. When do you go back in again?

Kynlee...What are you painting?

Amanda...What did DH say about twins?

Kaylee...What is new with you? How are you feeling?

[margi26]

Krys: I see you! You figured it out! Look at all of us--faces to the names, I love it.

Ryann: I am praying for your dad and your entire family. Especially difficult around the holidays--I know. Positive thoughts.

Stephanie/baby_blu: So glad that the bleeding subsided. How terribly stressful. Praying that Tuesday shows you nicely growing beans! Nothing selfish about wanting things to be normal and stress-free: it is what we all want and deserve. Here’s to hoping everything subsides and remains calm the rest of your pregnancy. (PS Love your picture too!)

Leora: Sorry AF is being such a witch. Take your iron, and, did you call office to make sure all is well with the amount of flow?

Sonya: Love the beach shot! You two look so happy together...

Tammy: Love the Rio blinky. Love.It. Thanks for the prayers--going to try to keep myself sane but not very likely. Can I POAS yet? LOL.

Karin1: You are almost there....hang in there! And I know, those PIO are miserable. Are you using a heating pad afterwards? What time is your ET scheduled for?



Rio: Rest, rest, rest. And no, not ready to be co-mayor yet...although...can I POAS yet? LOL...I think by the end of the weekend I likely will be (ready to be co-mayor--not POASing ). How did I survive 5 wks of OHSS? Miserably..but I was mostly in the hospital. Awful. Not too much you really can do unfortunately. Drink that gatorade! By the end of my illness I couldn’t even look at gatorade. Makes me gag now from the association. I haven’t touched the stuff since! Don’t worry about your line, Mayor. Your pee is DEFINITELY screwed up to say the least. I am hoping and praying this OHSS leaves you soon, but as Tammy said, your BFP will delay that some. Are you being carefully monitored with visits to their office? Gotta keep a check on that fluid.

Amanda: Take time to let it sink in. “Love at first sight”...so sweet. When is your next u/s? When does your clinic release you to your OBGYN? I just smile thinking about your u/s...and you didn't tell us DH's reaction to twins??

Lou: Hope DH is able to get a great deal on a ticket so that he can go with you to the conference. I used Natrol brand of DHEA off Amazon. It had the best fertility reviews that I saw, but I’ll defer to our DHEA-pusher Rio. Sorry for AF arriving, but looks like you have everything in order--surgery for DH, acupuncture, HSG, DHEA, etc. That BFP will be yours!!! How’s furbaby?

AFM: A bit of cramping this afternoon/evening after IUI. Hm. I think it is ok? Regardless, I am taking it easy and already in bed with the computer on my lap. Not going to overdo anything this cycle. I SO want this to work. Poor DH doesn't like any pain for me because of my OHSS scare 2 yrs ago. He really freaks out with worry. Not that there is any risk here with IUI, but you know...after that experience, he worries.

Spreading Baby dust ALL OVER Y'ALL !!!!!!

And... I think I will be in search of blinkies tonight I need a distraction while I rest up.

[klinger13]

I'm loving how every time I come on, more pictures are on here! Everyone looks so great in their pics and I'm just so happy to be able to "see" everyone.

lou - I'm sorry AF arrived and spoiled the BFP plans we all had for you! Hoping your HSG and DH's procedure both go well!

margi & tammy - DH's reaction was, in his own words, "Ecstatic!" And he had a couple of cute moments today - Before we left for the appt this morning, he was telling me how he had trouble falling asleep last night. He was so worried about today, worried about where we'd fit multiple babies in our little apartment, how much stuff we'd need - typical "Holy shit I'm going to be a dad" things. He's always cool as a cucumber, so I thought it was adorable that he was worried (not that I'd wish insomnia on anyone, but you know what I mean.) Then after the u/s, he said "OMG babe I have heartburn so bad." I thought it was at the thought of twins but he said no, it was from waiting to hear what the doc was seeing. According to him he couldn't make out a thing on that u/s screen as she moved around, so all the while he was thinking she wasn't seeing any sacs and he was so nervous. Another cute worried moment. But yeah, he is absolutely thrilled at the thought of twins!

[ladybugg1999]

Hi All, I have been hanging out, I have been on the fall board but I hope it's okay to double dip.
I want to send hugs to those with BFN's
To those 2wwaiting hang in there, my IM is a poas pusher, she already has the sticks for me to take home.LOL
Is anyone transferring on Tuesday the 22nd???????
Good luck to all ER and ET

I am a gestational Surrogate for a great couple.I have been waiting to hear from my IM all day as today was the donors egg retrieval day. I am hoping they got lots of eggs. We are insisting on a 5 day transfer so that would be Tuesday. They live in Georgia in the same city we are having a family reunion on for thanksgiving. So we will be packing up the kids and heading down early Monday morning and then after the transfer meeting up with family across town. Although I am not looking forward to a 10 hour car trip with 4 kiddos, it's for a good cause. They are such deserving folks.He is 50 she is 44 neither has kids and they have tried IVF on their own and suffered 3 2nd trimester miscarriages. he is an only child and his father is not in the best health, it would be wonderful to allow him to now that his name will live on. He doesn't know they are doing this, so he is not disappointed if it doesn't work. I AM PACKING PACKING PACKING. I will keep in touch.

[moorebaby]

ryann- thinking of your dad...hoping nothing but the best! i'm so sorry you have to deal w/ it, never mind the timing. please try to keep up the pma, as hard as that may be. i can't even imagine...i would be a wreck if i was in your position. but you're 1 strong & patient girl....you will have your bfp soon!

[riogirl71]

Oh you girls got me worried, should I be going in to see a doctor? My RE is 90 min from here and my IVF contract is over, this is not covered by them so if I go see someone it would have to be my OB. So no, I haven't been seen at all for this OHSS. I have been in contact with the nurse and she said as long as there is no vomiting, diarrhea or nausea, trouble breathing, that there is really nothing they can do to make it better. Of course if it gets any worse I will go to the ER. So far it is consistent at about 4 to 6 lbs over (over the weight of two days ago). I hurt all over and have trouble moving around. I am drinking gatorade, taking it easy and eating protein. What would they see in an us for this?

Margi - hospital for OHSS, man that was bad, how bad did it get? What did they do at the hospital? I am all freaked out now. Alright I will wait for you to be co mayor!

Lou - I got whatever Target has for DHEA! Yes it will work!!!

lady - awesome you are doing this! welcome

klinger - DH is a sweetie!

Tammy - I am not supposed to go back, just call my OB after a BFP for an early US, my RE is non provider and everything is out of pocket there. When do you have your SnS?
