FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

[blairwh58]

Bliss/becca- I've been stalking the board all day anxious for your beta results. Fingers and toes still crossed. Keep us posted.

[WeHaveHope]

Bliss & Becca,
Still praying for you. Please keep us posted.

[Pumpkin11]

Hey all! Just wanted you to know I got my call back, my E2 is at 861 Im bringing down my dose to 150 gonal-f tonite. I'm worried that so early, my estrogenis so high. Hopefully I can get things back on track. Hope everyone had a good monday. Beck and bliss- still praying for you.

[becca5m]

Thank you everyone for the good thoughts.

BFN for us. My HCG level is .100 We are back to square one since we don't have any frosties.

Keeping a good attitude though. I realize this is just part of the process. Hopefully we can start again asap.

[BlissfulCS]

Well ladies... it is official. BFN. Each and every one of you better boogie down and help me bring on AF!!! I need her here STAT. My clinic is making me wait a month in between (even if my ovaries were ready they can't fit me in until April) which means timing better be good or else I will run into my school trip and will have to wait until November. Ugh!

Thanks ladies for everything. I'm definitely sticking around to celebrate all the BFPs and great u/s results. You really are a special group and I don't think I could have made it through without you.

We have 4 2day embies from our first fresh cycle and one morula from this last cycle left. The plan is to thaw them and go to blast to see if we have any that make it and what the quality is. I'll be jumping over to the April/May board but will most definitely be around.

Love, Bliss (Alisa)

Becca- I am so sorry to spoil your good attitude with my bad one. I am sorry it didn't work out for you this time either but I am really happy that you are taking it in stride and are ready to go again. Best of luck to you.

[becca5m]

Blissful you didn't spoil anything. I completely understand how you feel. Hoping we both have BFP next time!!

[MamaBoo]

Blissful I am so very sorry! I thought for sure you'd have a BFP. Feel free to rant, we all understand. Fingers crossed for AF.

Becca, I am sorry for you too. Hopefully, next cycle.

[totsie]

Bliss & Becca- so sorry for ur BFN. Hope next time is your time!

AFM now I'm getting really nervouse tomorrow is my turn to beta! Today I woke up with a monster migraine! So that's not helping me feel positive.
I do have popping milk ducts darker areolas and slightly more prominant blue vains.
But hey this can also be from progesterone it is so frustrating..I waNna poas but I'm too scared! What do u all think?today is only day 8 after 5dt

[LYD10]

Bliss and Beca - i am really sorry, you guys! BFNs suck big time.
I am glad you guys are turning right around and making plans for what's next.
Bliss - for some people FETs work better because the uterine environment is not as corrupted. i hope that's the case for you!!

[Pumpkin11]

Bliss, I'm so sorry to hear that. I understand how you feel it's totally normal and expected. I am glad you are willing to try another time. It will all work out before your school, you'll see. Try tontake this month off to reconnect with your husband and regroup. Go on a mini get away and do things for you! This break will make you feel better going into it next time. Please don't get lost and let us know how you are doing. Best of luck to you and you can vent any time, I'll listen.

Beck - sorry to hear you news but so glad you're being optimistic. I need some of that optimism. Please stay positive and start as soon as your ready emotionally. I'm here for you too.

[blairwh58]

Bliss- I am sooo sorry. I know exactly how you feel. Like you’ve put enough in and are a good person and really should end up with a baby. We said that after everyone, and as depressing as it seems right when you hear the news, here we are ready for IVF #4. Maybe for you and I the fourth times a charm!!! Just don’t give up. I know you will be bringing home your baby before too much longer. Ill start dancing for you as long as you keep dancing for me. As much time, money, and effort we have put into this I know we will have little ones running around before we know it. And as soon as you do Im sending you a UK onesie in the mail. Better hang around here….or I may have to join the April/May board just to keep the company.

Becca5m- What a great attitude to have during this process. I wish the best for you and hope you get your happy ending next time around. Good luck.

Mamaboo- Hows the pupo life going for you?? Hopefully things are going well and that little one is snuggling in for the next 9 months.

Tootsie- Good luck tomorrow. I will be stalking the boards again like I did all day today so hopefully you get some good news. I have always been a fan of POAS at least the day before the beta just so you have an idea one way or the other. Good luck and keep us posted.

Pumpkin- Even though your level is higher they will adjust everything and youll be right back on track. Don’t stress over it. Just keep your head up and look towards that BFP youll end up with.

AFM- Well still no AF…just cramps. I called the office just to see how long it would take to get in and get an appt once AF finally does show up. They said even if I started today they wouldn’t see me until wed/thurs which took a little pressure off. She said they only start stims thurs/fri/sat….so im really hoping AF comes tomorrow, I can go have my US and BW wed, and start stims Thursday. I think it’s a plan I just don’t know that my body will agree to cooperate. Before all this infertility I used to be able to tell when my period was coming down to the second…and now I feel like im always waiting.

[cindylou]

Becca - I'm so sorry to hear you got a BFN. I commend you on your positive attitude and hope that it will cushion the grief you must be feeling and prepare you for your next cycle. I admire that you are already looking forward and I wish you the absolute best.

Alisa - I really thought we'd all be celebrating with you today, and I'm so sorry to hear the official news. I don't think it's selfish to need to vent and release some heavy emotions. We invest so much emotionally, physically and financially to this great cause with hope that if we do everything right, we'll be rewarded. But sadly, it's such a fragile process that its a bonafide miracle to get pregnant - but you deserve that miracle.
When I first came onto this board, I remember trying to read every word from previous posts and to learn something about each member (an impossible feat!) but you stood out to me. By your signature, where we list our past treatments and current protocol, you had written something like "this is it - i can feel it!" I can't tell you how many times I have thought of that when I begin worrying and feeling like its all hopeless - those few words reflected your personal conviction and reminded me that I have to have confidence and positive expectations. So, while you have every right to grieve and to hurt, please don't give up. I want to hear from you when you get your BFP, and I hope we can all celebrate together!

much love and thanks to you both for sharing your journey! I am going to keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
Cindy

becca and bliss - I am so sorry for your BFN's. They suck and it it never gets any easier. Its good to have a next plan of action weather its another cycle, FET, adoption or just deciding you and hubby will be fine without kids. I know the only thing that has gotten me through BFN's is to have a plan. I think the worst BFn i had was last July and at the point i thought we were totally done and for me i just couldn't deal with it. Once Dh agreed to do donor eggs, i was so much better emotionally. Its not fair that so many can get preggo and some can't. Ive asked myself a million times, what have we done in life that causes us to deal with all this crap. It can drive anyone batty.
I wish both of you the best with whatever you do next.

I'm having a rough 2ww. One minute I think, I can tell, I'm preggers. Next minute I think I'm not having any symptoms, I know I'm not. It's up and down, up and down. Things didn't go well this weekend and daylight savings time is really screwing with my son's schedule. He's been sick with a fever. I was told not to lift him for 2-3 days. However, my husband was called in to work yesterday, and Boothe was sick and crying. I pulled him up into my lap a couple of times, and held him while he slept because I couldn't carry him to lay him down. If you have any PMA left over, please, send it my way. Thanks,
