Guess what ladies??? I POAS and it was POSITIVE!!!! :D :D :D :D :D I still can't believe it. I actually did it yesterday and was afraid to say it out loud. We are so overwhelmed with emotion right now. I was so nervous laying in bed for an hour before that I thought I would have an anxiety attack. My hand was shaking so bad that I could barely hit the stick. I couldn't be more grateful than I am right now. I know that we have a long way to go still, but this is a great start. I want to thank all of your ladies for your love and support. You're the best! :D

Sorry I took so long writing, yesterday was a really hard day for me. After four margaritas and two beers I was starting to feel better about my BFN.

I have to get a shot tomorrow (RhoGAM) because i'm O negative and my husband O positive. We will meet with the doctor next thursday to see what our next step will be.

At this time we will not be able to afford any more treatments, so we will take it easy and hope for a miracle. Maybe for next year we will embark on the IVF program again.

I want to thank you all for being there for me!.... We will keep in touch!... GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!

Karian - I am so sorry, is there a chance IUI might work for you? It is much more affordable than IVF and if your DHs counts are good maybe it will increase your chances? Or I had a friend that took clomid and had twins. Talk to your RE maybe there are other options to help things along, I wish you the best of luck!

kynlee - waiting stinks, I am sorry. Good that you are looking into the future, have you decided on DHEA at all?

Amanda - awesome that you get to see the bean again so soon! And graduating to your OB!

Question - For those girls paying out of pocket when does your IVF package expire? Meaning you pay a set price and then to what point does it cover. My contract did not cover anything past Embryo transfer so I had to go to my OB already for US next week. My old RE was under my insurance for OB services so I had a couple of US there then went to OB. My new RE is not contracted so absolutely nothing of OB services are covered.

I am happy today cause I got a nose bleed, was exhausted and dizzy! I was afraid I was having no symptoms anymore but they are here full force! OHSS is going away still abut 3 lbs left but what a relief! I really don't want to go to work tomorrow after having 4 days with my boys, dogs and bird! I am so excited about Thursday!

For those mommas to be, check out www.babycenter.com you can sign up and they send you an email every week with all the developmental stuff that goes on with your baby and changes in your body, it is really interesting!

Rio: I'm so happy your OHSS is finally going away. We are planing on saving for the next round of IVF (which might no be any time soon) but I'm ok with it.

Klinger: How is your pregnancy going? Thanks for all your help and support.

Karin1: Congratulations!!!!!

Kynlee: thanks for your prayers!... I'll be going to my doctor this Thursday to discuss what went wrong.

Tammy: Good Luck with your ER!... Keep us posted!

AFM: Counting my blessings!.... I have a great supporting family, a good job, health (not considering infertility) and above all, an awesome, loving and understanding husband. I'm hurt but i'm ready to pick up the pieces and continue forward. I'm going back to the gym (loose the few pounds I gained during IVF) and concentrating in my studies. I'm currently finishing my bachelors degree and I have about a year to go.

We will try IVF again by mid next year (unless we get a miracle baby!!!!). For now i'm at peace with myself.

Thanks again to all of you.

This is news that none of us want to hear... I'm so very sorry things didn't turn out for you this time. I hope you and your husband are able to keep your hopes up, and that your little miracle arrives soon.

Karian......I'm sorry that things didn't work out this time, but it sounds like you have a plan. Your positive attitude is so refreshing. Take some time and enjoy the holidays. You might just get that miracle you've been praying for. Good luck on your journey.

Leorira......Wow! Talk about getting on with it....FET next week! That's awesome! :D

Lou.....Happy BIrthday! I hope you had a fantastic day!

Rio......You are doing great! Keep it up!

Lauren.....Sorry AF is being so brutal. Hopefully she'll be on her way out soon.

Klinger.....How are you? Do you actually 'feel' pregnant?


AFM.......I have been an absolute lazy bum all day. The only thing that I did today was go to church...go for a walk....make spaghettti and clean up the kitchen. I napped and layed on the couch all day and watched football. I am so tired in the afternoon that I feel like I need a nap everyday and I am not a nap-taker. I still don't feel any different. I will call my RE tomorrow and ask if I can get my beta sooner. I am anxious to get the official results. Right now I am feeling so blessed and pray that this is a viable healthy pregnancy.
