nwquiz, glad to hear my hubby's insurance is finally coming to use for something! We actually get a $15,000 lifetime insurance for infertility treatments, no prior authorization required. What a relief. Really hoping the first round will be it for us. I shouldn't freak out at the sight of needles since I'm a nurse myself.. let's just hope not, at least It's always easier sticking other people than yourself

Darn Fed Ex! They didn't deliver my package! I'd been tracking it all day and when I checked it around 7PM, their website said that it's back at the facility. So obviously I called them to complain, and the guy on the other end said that the delivery guy wasn't able to make all the stops for the day because of the busy holiday season, so boo!! I told him to hold the package at the facility and I'll come pick it up myself tomorrow. I don't have time to waste another day at home just to sign for the package, esp during the holiday season.

Margi, love the blinky!

HopeIsAllIHave - We get a lot of packages & we started putting a note on our door that says we release the signature liability & please leave packages at door - don't know if that will work with medication but I don't know why not - maybe that will work for next time?

Nwquiz - Swim spermy's swim you will be joining the BFP group soon enough!

Anacris - Thank you I just get worried that even though I have BFP's that the Beta will say something different everyone says I am nuts but just my crazy overworked baby making mind going into a tisy fit! When is your US? I can't wait to hear results

Rio - Tomorrow I will be 11dp5dt or 16dpo - I was supposed to do it on xmas but that is too difficult to accomplish so we opted for a day early instead of two days later on the 27th - The RE decides based on first beta when they will do second so it depends on numbers - we ended up transferring two which we are scared about but figure three kidos will keep us on our toes and since DH husband is a contractor he is already drawing up plans for a new room or two!

Babies are telling me to sleep so no more personals for now you all have a great night sweet baby dreams! ox

[HopeIsAllIHave]

Thanks for the suggestion, Katie, but I'd be too hesitant to keep my packages at the door. We live in an apt complex, and some of the neighbors can be a bit shady. We are huge amazon prime shoppers, so we're constantly getting packages by UPS, Fed Ex, and Ontrac. What sucks about our unit is that we do not have a doorbell.. well, actually, we do, but we have 2 front door entrances. And the one that is barely used by anyone is the one that has a doorbell, how convenient. Most of the time, I'm at home anyway, but we live in a townhouse, so when I'm upstairs, it's really hard to hear the knock on the door. Anyway, I'm rambling now. It's the day before xmas, everyone (almost xmas eve)! Hope everyone has a joyous holiday! Hugs.

[nwquiz]

margi oh margi what will i do without you here. girl i like that blinkie. those swimmers had better get that shy egg and dance like a rockstar.

[rypell1985]

Ladies!!! How I've missed you all! Funny how I can find time to post when I'm at work, but now that I'm off for the holidays I just get too busy!!!! You would think it would be opposite!! Oh well!

Anna and Rio....sooooooo freaking happy for you!

Someone had asked about my ultrasound...not til the 30th!!! Yikes! I'll be 6 weeks 3 days at that point. So Ana, I feel your pain on the waiting! I wouldn't want it too early just to be discouraged, but geez!!! I wanna see my bean(s)!!!!!

I hope all you Christmas celebraters have a wonderful holiday! I'll be running like crazy the next few days so I won't be too present here. For all you non-Christmas celebraters....have a great weekend! Sending big hugs and buckets of baby dust to you all!!!!!

[katieb1231]

Just got my Beta back 820 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[anacris]

Wow Katie congrats!!!! Wonderful number!!!

[riogirl71]

Katie - congratulations on an incredible beta!!!!!!!!!

Ryann - the wait for US is a killer too but 6w3d is a great time to do it, you can see the fetal pole and sac!

Hope - did you get your meds? DOn't faint when you get them! Hope you got your packages! That was great coverage on meds byut he way, lucky girl!

nwquiz - come on operation fertilization!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, I had GD before but I just did not expect it so early, Normally my levels are fine. I did have to take insulin with GD and it all worked out. The hard part was that things change weeks by week so one day the same thing gave me sugar low, the next day, sugar high, oh and the balance between enough carbs and ketosis was also tough to balance. What kind of doctor are you? Smart cookie you!

Margi - get used to posting on the other side Thank you again for all your support and I am waiting for that special txt message to come any time now!!!

Anacris - I do think a bit later US is better although the wait is a killer!

[BakersBaby]

Rio and Katie - CONGRATS!!! What AWESOME Christmas Presents!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Holiday! Merry Christmas Everyone! It started snowing this morning around 9 and we have several inches on the ground! So exciting! I love white Christmases!

AFM - I am 11dpo and having some spotting. Judging from the horrible headache I have had since yesterday I would assume AF is here. I guess that makes me a BFN. We go back for our beta 12/30. We were at a family christmas when I discovered the horrible truth. We made a quick exit. I didn't start crying until we were in my grandparents driveway making our quick escape. This really sucks. This was our only IVF chance. I guess somewhere in the back of my heart I hope DH decides maybe we can try once more.

Love to all. Merry Christmas!

[katieb1231]

Bakersbaby - don't loose all hope yet - I had the exact same symptoms plus some light spotting so I thought it was all over too and I had good news! Part of the little guys getting settled in is period like symptoms & my RE told me 30% of all pregnancies have bleeding in the first trimester of varying degrees - have you POAS? You should be 11 dpo today I think so you could start POAS around the 12th day I think or 13th day - don't give up yet this is the time of year for some magic! Praying for you & some sticky baby dust - hang in there -

[nwquiz]

katieb-Yeeeeeeh congrats on the wonderful beta numbers. looks like you are joing the twin clubs. how does that sound?
Rio- that is funny wish i was a doctor. then cash would be no problem. am just a poor dietitian but thanks for putting me up there. felt good for a minute.
bakersbaby-dont losee hope yet. its still early. maybe you should give in to poas.
margi- where are you hiding today. hope you are putting together the blinkies.
to all of you friends and family wish you a happy christmas or should i say happy holidays

[riogirl71]

Bakers - spotting is very common and I aslo had cramps similar to AF, please don't loose the PMA, there is still a very big chance of your BFP, pray and snuggle those beans up!

Margi - where are you today?

nwquiz - yeah don't we all wish we made more money right now so that we can afford this stupid IVF stuff. Ok it is not stupid we are blessed we have it or there would be zero chance for some of us but man does it have to be so expensive? We spent $30,000 this year on it, there is no price tag for a baby but we are not rich and it stings... oh well right?

FOR THIS YEAR:


FOR NEXT YEAR WE WILL ALL BE:

I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season no matter which Holiday you celebrate! Much love and thanks for all of your support and kindness through this difficult journey, may we all be blessed with healthy babies in 2011!!!
