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

[margi26]

Becca: I am so sorry for you, but I admire your PMA and readiness to move forward. That was how I handled my BFNs....keep moving forward...you will get your baby....take care of yourself...pamper yourself as you get through this. (((HUGS)))

[becca5m]

Thank you everyone. DH is meeting with our RE tomorrow in my place, because I can't get off work and he wants a post cycle consult before we can proceed. Lots of questions to ask, but they already have a new profile for us to look over. Charactaristics are more like DH (blonde/blue eyed) than me (dark hair/eyes), but that is fine with me. Anxious to find out when we can start trying again. I don't know if it's normal to switch donors after a failed cycle, but something inside me is saying this is the right thing for us.

Hope to be more talkative on the next thread. It takes me a bit to warm up, lol. But I have learned so much just from reading here. You ladies are a wonderful bunch and have made me feel very welcome.

I went to the RE today and got called shortly after......my cycle has been cancelled. My follicles did not react how they should've and my estrogen is way to high. I was told to wait for AF and call on the 1st day. I'm disappointed but I'm ok. I guess its just not my time yet.

Blair - any signs of AF yet?

Hope everyone is doing great. I will continue to follow and post here, although I will no longer be a march cycle I may have to join a future cycle thread as well. Thank you all for your support. Being able to talk like this is a big help!

Good luck to you I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Again thank you to you all!!!!!!!

[becca5m]

Pumpkin, I'm so very sorry. I know exactly how that feels. Keep your chin up and stay positive. I am waiting for AF too, so maybe we will both be on the April/May board together.

[to_have_fun08]

becca - Sorry your cycle was canceled. Hope your RE can come up with a game plan that works better next cycle. I have had 4 canceled cycles and where i was bummed for each one i was glad the RE wasn't pushing to go to egg retrieval when the outcome would not be good.

[BlissfulCS]

I am so sorry Becca and Pumpkin! Never fear though, your BFPs are on the way. (((((HUGS))))))

Thanks Margi- good luck to you! I know it wasn't the Anji meditations. The meditations help. Haven't had the heart to try the "grief and recovery" meditation yet, but will give it a go this weekend. Of course you will NEVER have to listen to that one.

Blair- our boys almost lost today!!! HOLY COW. Princeton came to play though. I just watched Johnson from Princeton crying in a post game interview. It's so funny, the CATS are so good that sometimes with teams like Princeton we become a great story about "I'll never forget the time we ALMOST beat Kentucky". My boss played pro in Europe and played college at Miami of Ohio. He always talks about the time they almost beat us being one of his most memorable college experiences. Too funny! 102 tournament wins...tied with UNC. They pulled it out! Hoping they have a little more breathing room as things progress and they have the close game out of their system. I can't take anymore anxiety!

AFM- received the first of three adoption books in the mail today. "The Complete Idiots Guide to Adoption." I am diving in head first while watching the tournament tonight. I can't believe I am saying this so soon, but I am really getting excited about the process. PLUS I feel super good about the FET. No AF yet...keep dancing for me. I will be happy if she comes by Saturday. Starting to show some signs...

[WeHaveHope]

So, I have started to post on the April/May thread since we will be having our FET on or about May 5th. I hate the thought if leaving this thread. Do you guys think I could stay here as well? You guys have all been such a source of great support I hate the idea of leaving.

[BlissfulCS]

WeHaveHope- I am staying with these ladies and I know they want us! It saves them the trouble of having to stalk (but we know they will anyway).

AFM- AF is here!!!! I thought for sure she wouldn't come until tomorrow at the earliest due to the meds taking time to clear my system. This puts me at an expected FET of 4/28 which will work just perfectly with my May travel plans. Thanks for all the dancing. It worked.

Congrats on AF!!! You are well on your way. I am stayin in this thread too.

[katieb1231]

Bliss/Becca - I am so sorry for both of you I have been stalking & praying everyday for you both and was sorry to hear....but you two have more PMA than I have in my little toe, I would like to borrow some I have a hard time with the PMA at times.....good for you both one thing I have learned through this process is that the better attitude you have the easier it is on us.....You will both have your 'take home' babies soon enough! I will pray for you both.....
Bliss I have an adopted DD and I didn't read one book but wish I had.....the adoption for dummies sounds great.....we learned everything by trial & error but please feel free to call on me for any questions, not a pro but do feel like I have a handle on it now!
Pumpkin - My last cycle was cancelled and I was devastated but now in retrospect i am very happy it was since this cycle all my numbers where perfect & the RE couldn't have been more thrilled the whole time....so it gave me lots of hope...sometimes it is hard but we do have to trust a little that they know what they are doing....hope you will cycle again soon & you will bring home your "take home" baby!
Wehavehope - A FET cycle is a cinch, I took estradial (orally) and crinone (vaginally) no injections for me & it seemed sort of un-stressful comparatively.....good luck on the 23rd that is just around the corner! You will be PUPO just on the tail end of my 2ww....we can commiserate together

[BlissfulCS]

katie- its great to hear from you and thanks for the adoption advice. I will definitely take you up on the offer of assistance when I need it. How is your pregnancy going??? Stay strong! The latter part of the 2ww is the hardest. I was a mess during my wait. Its tough to keep up the PMA! You can do it.

[indigofire]

Hi all.

Just a quick update. Had my lining check today. All is perfect. Started my PIO. Will be taking doxycycline and Medrol starting on Sunday. FET on Wednesday March 23!!! We'll transfer 2 of our 3 blasts. Very excited but NOT looking forward to my 2ww. Who else is in the 2ww with me? I need some friends in crazytown!!!

As for the boards, maybe we should all just switch to the April/May board on April 1? And take over. Lol.

Doing thi from my phone and dog tired because I was up all night at a fantastic beautiful birth, so I'll do more personals later.

Thanks guys.

[MamaBoo]

indigo: my 2ww ends on 3/23, sorry. I'm gonna POAS Monday though because I need ot order refills on one of my meds and frankly, I'm goin nuts.

Blissful: looks like my alma mater plays your team next. I'm from WV and went to WVU. Sorry, nothing personal, but I'm afraid I have to root for them 'eers.

[BlissfulCS]

Mamaboo- I am rooting for YOU! Basketball is just a fun distraction. I have to tell you though, I was hoping for a BFP plus a Kentucky win in the SEC tourney. I got the win but no luck on the BFP. Sooooo... I am pulling for you getting the BFP but WVU going down to the Cats. Lol.
