Katieb -- I am praying soooo hard for your beta to be awesome today. I definitely think there's a chance.

Amanda -- Thanks for the input on the dental x-rays. I will be in the second trimester when I go for them. I will be about 15 weeks. I will ask them to double up the lead!

Anton -- No hun.... sooooo not giving up on you. The fingers are cramping they're crossed so tight. I still think your scant spotting on and off is a good sign!

AFM -- I posted a belly pic taken yesterday on the pregnancy board. I've officially graduated from RE to OB and have an appt on Friday. Yipee!!!!!

Katie, Today is your day...
I've been praying for you and know you're in good hands!


Our God is sooo good! I just got off the phone with my insurance company, turns out when we went in for the surgery the admissions had us pay $650, when our copayment is $150, so we'll be receiving a check in the mail for $500 to apply to my anesthesiologist.. WIth that said, I'll only owe 27.60. Plus earlier this morning, I called my clinic left message for my doctor's asst to call me back to answer some questions I have about my dosage for this upcoming cycle. I think they have over-ordered more units then what I really need. It could us me a couple of hundred dollars, will see! Today I'm going to be busy those filling taxes. Also need to make an appt with my obgyn for the fun annual PAP exam. My clinic says obgyn don't like doing the exams when your pregnant, lol. Well better now than later, I guess. :mrgreen:

Just got my results back - its officially BFN for me again this cycle :( I did POAS over the weekend and this morning with negative results so I didn't have high expectations for today but I was hoping that maybe it would just be too low for the HPT to detect. I'm pretty bummed but we are planning to cycle again right away. So now I'm just waiting for AF to arrive and will enjoy some shot free days! I'll move over to the April/May board but will keep checking back here on you ladies finishing up!

Anton, Kynlee and Greekchick - I want to see some BFPs come through!!!

Katie - good luck with your beta today!

Leora and Margi - looking forward to hearing about your US!

Katie: I have everything crossed for you. I am praying that you get a great doubling number. Beta Hell is horrible, but sometimes has a wonderful outcome. I hope and pray that you get good news today.

Anton: I am totally excited to hear your news tomorrow! I will DEFINITELY be praying for you to have a good strong beta tomorrow so that you and DH can celebrate. Only one more sleep!! :D :D

Amanda: Love peeing on a stick...any kind of stick will do! :lol: Here's to hoping for a surprise from your BDing!

nwquiz: Thanks for the positive energy!! :D

Knylee: Hope that your ankle is on the mend and not truly broken. :( Owee. But hoping that little bit of sick feeling is indicative of your BFP on Wed!! :D

Sunshine: Fabulous news about insurance...what an oxymoron?! Seriously, glad that things are going your way.

kbillsy: So sorry my dear. :( :( Even when expected, it still hurts. (((HUGS))) Glad that you are "back on the wagon" relatively quickly. That always helps. Take time to take extra care of yourself in the meantime.

AFM: Not sure how I am going to make it... still more than 24 hours until u/s! :roll: It is so hard to wait as I am excited, and yet I am totally nervous and scared at the same time. I got the BFP....I have sore boops and am totally tired, why is it so hard to believe things "might really be ok?"

kbillsy - I am so sorry, huge hugs and I hope you can find the strength to try again. My heart aches for you.

Katieb - I am so sorry for the beta hell and wish I was there to give you a big hug, praying hard this beta brings you much wonderful news.

Anton - very common to bleed and you are spotting not full on bleeding so you are fine and as far as I am concerned, very pregnant. One of the girls on the pregnant side, mellow, had extensive bleeding and now has healthy twins baking. I hope you will share great news. Is your beta on Wed or Tue? I am in CA and completely confused about when exactly it is cause I want to stalk your results! Fingers crossed my dear, it is your turn!! Come on, for auntie Rio!

Margi - relax momma! the only question is not if, but how many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunshine - yeay for the $500!

Alright should I feel any wiser now that I am 40? ;)

katieb-- Aw geeze.... I'm so sorry. I really was praying for you to get good news today. I am glad you do have some frosties left so you can try again. You must know, it wasn't you. That's rarely the case. It still most definitely CAN and WILL work for you. I have that faith. <hugs>

Oh Katie...I am sooo very sorry. I wish I could take the hurt away. It just plain sucks. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Big Hugs.

Kbillsy...Oh geeze louise...this is definitely not a good day for anyone. I am sooo very sorry. Glad to hear you are jumping right back in.

Anton...I am sooo excited for you...and cant wait to hear the good news tomorrow! I know you have been scared with the spotting...I would be too...but I really think that it is all pointing to good news for you. You should probably have your results by the time most of us wake up...cant wait to hear!!! I'll check the board first thing, when I wake up. Good Luck!! Praying hard!!

Margi...Oh, how I wish I could be a fly on the wall tomorrow. lol I can not wait to hear how many babies you have in there. I am still thinking that you have twins coming...triplets would be breaking some serious records for us older gals. lol Sooo exciting! Good Luck!!

Lou...I'm off to go look for your cute little belly...I bet you are just adorable.

Sunshine...Yayy for extra moolah. I cant wait to stalk you on your next cycle.

Kynlee...I sure hope your ankle is getting better. How awful. Take it easy kiddo. Looking forward to good news from you, too!! Good Luck!!

Amanda...Good Luck on BD'ing...and dont forget to have fun, too! lol :wink:

Nwquiz...How are you doing? What is new?

Greekchick...I cant wait to hear your good news! Do we really have another whole week to go?! Are you going to poas? Pretty please? lol

Rio...Happy Belated Birthday again! Sorry, I didnt take the time to find a blinkie for you in my email. lol :oops: Yes, got your message...thank you sooo much.

Leora...I hope you're taking it easy and everything is well with you. I love talking to you on FB. :wink:

Tess...I hope everything goes as good as it can on the 5th. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Cant wait to cheer you on in May!!
My little kitty Doogie (Howser) had urinary block. He had the surgery when he was around 9 and lived to be 16 yrs old. He never had any problems again...unless you count my brother teasing him and calling him the "it" cat. lol :roll:

Lauren...Anything new on the insurance stuff?

AFM: I started Clomid yesterday and will take it for 5 days. I start follistim on Wednesday and go in for my first SnS on Saturday. ER should be either the 8th or 9th. I am hopeful. :D

I've been popping in from time to time to see how it's going for everyone. It's great to see new faces (or new to me anyway) :-)

Margi -- I am OVER THE MOON for you! I can't wait until your u/s tomorrow. What time is it scheduled for? I'll definitely be checking in her a lot tomorrow to see the results. FUN FUN

Leora -- I didn't see an update from you yet today. You had u/s yesterday, I think? How was that? Congrats! to you. Wonderful news.

Tammy -- It's great to see you. Well, I wish you didn't have to be here but you know what I mean. I always enjoy reading your posts and what y'all are up to. I hope this cycle is it for y'all!!!!!

Lou -- So glad to hear you have moved to regular OB from the RE. What a great step to get to!!!!!

I know there are lots more folks and lots of new (to me) ppl too. Wishing baby dust to all and I'll be checking in to see how everyone is.

AFM -- We have one frostie that we are planning an FET with if we can't save enough $$ for a fresh cycle. I feel like it's now or never because of my age and dh's age. Dh has been off work because of shoulder surgery so that has really cramped our style with saving for a fresh cycle. If we had more than one frostie, I think we would just jump right in for the FET but with it only being one you worry what if it doesn't work. Then, of course, I also worry about sinking all this $$ into another fresh cycle and it not working either. ugh ugh ugh This road stinks big time.

Hi Nancy...It is sooo good to hear from you!! I'm so sorry about your DH...how awful. I'm hoping and praying that you'll be able to find enough to save for a fresh cycle and soon!! However, giving that little guy a chance is great, too!! Best of luck with everything! I just wish we were cycling together again.
