Anton - You are so sweet thanking everyone. You have had so much pma for everyone, I really hope your FET works!!! When I first started with my 1st IUI I was certain it would work, especially since we don't have any known issues! 2 years and 10 embryos transferred later still waiting lol! I hope it works for everyone on here soon!!!

anton- You are the sweetest person... You have brought so much PMA for all of us, which is so helpful through such a hard journey... you are right our miracles will be here, God has plans for each of us... Life is never easy, but ths journey is going to make us appreciate things even more... I have been sad these past few days and I started thinking like you I have to put it behind me and look forward to the next step in this journey... I dont know what we are going to do yet, but I know I am not quitting... My dream is to have a child and I cant give that hope up that someday I will be a Mom... Thanks for being such a great person through this all, I am sure I will be seeing you on the summer thread since I am sure thats when I will start again... (huge Hug)

AFM- I also want to say thank you to all you Wonderful women that have helped me through this rough Journey... Many of you have given me hope by seeing your Dreams come true, and I know someday that will be me too... I will be watching you all as you go through the next stages of your Journeys and wish you all the best... I am sure I will start up soon, Hoping by June to make my miracle happen... I believe God answers prayers, and I know he is listening to mine I am holding onto hope and faith and soon will have my baby bump ( hugs to you all)

Amanda- I'm so sorry about your mom but she sounds like a fighter. Anna's story sure gives a lot of hope too! I pray her treatments bring a cure.

Kynlee- I'm glad you're looking to next steps. Your bfp is waiting.

-Antonia- Your post was beautiful. Thank you. Your outlook is amazing and I truly believe your baby is coming soon. After all, here I am pregnant from my 6th transfer! Keep the faith. Xoxo.

Carol- Your post made me sad too. But I understand where you're coming from. Who knows, stranger things have happened and you may get a natural miracle. A lady I work with's daughter got pregnant at 42 & delivered at 43. This was after attempts to stim for ivf failed a year before and an FSH in the 20's. Her baby girl is perfect!

Katieb- Just wondering, have you had a hysteroscopy recently? I really think my d&c/surgery gets the credit for my last cycle working. I don't think you have an embie issue, sounds more like a uterus issue. Good news, most are fixable!

Lauren- Remember, this pregnancy is my 11th embryo.

Greekchick- still holding out for your BFP!

AFM- Last year I lost my baby at 12w1d and here I am today right there but still pregnant. I thank God every day for that. My NT scan is next week Tuesday. Nervous and praying for good news. I told everyone at work and people were really happy for me. We still haven't told dh's family. Trying to figure out when we'll see them. Going to stalk you all on the next board for sure!

[greekchick]

Just got home from our first camping trip at St. Andrew's National Park. Our adventure started like this, neither one of us could figure out how to put this tent together... Come to find out this brand new tent I had bought at Sears for his birthday was defective, so I made a extra special trip to Target (better selection) and bought a new one that only took 10 minutes to assemble. Then the new bike he just had wheeled out of Target had missing aseembly pieces for the handlebar and didn't realize it until he nearly fall off, wasn't expecting that! Later on the kayak he rented was warped, the hibachi grill was bent...so you can see where this is going, but hey it's certainly a trip I'll never forget!!! In the middle of the night I heard something... outside our tent, a cardoor slam and sounded like someone was walking toward us...Me so scared and too frightened to look out, I yelled out Boo, like I was trying to scare it away and ALL I probably accomplished was waking everyone who was still snoring Today was more fun, took a ferry boat to Shell Island had a little lunch on the beach, laid-out and snorkeled, brought back a ton of good-size shells (now need some ideas what to do with them. Overall dh had an adventureous belated birthday.

Praying for a better week ahead for us, as we strive for new beginnings while believing anything is possible through Him.
AFM: Started bleeding again for another period yesterday 4/1. My RE's assistant was informative and I asked her why since I just had a period last week for 5 days that ended on Tuesday 3/29. She told me once I stop the birth control I'll have another flow by Friday/yesteday and she was right. Strangely though I'm not cramping this time around hmmm interestingly enough. Started Ferama last night and slept very well.lol Yes one side effect is drowniness and another will be hot-flashes, but compared to Clomid, it's known that Femara is less likely to thin the uterine lining. Well I've got much catching up to do, along with climbing Mt. Laundry. Have a great Evening and I might have to make one of those milkshakes! <3 Sunshine1576

[greekchick]

ok ladies its day 11 since i had the et 2-3 at the beginning I had cramping and nothing since no sign only tender breasts but had them since the injections, if i was pregnant which I dont feel preggers, would i be having other signs yet?or is it still too early?
the board gone a bit quiet and I need u now ladies lol and another thing the vagina tablets we take (progeston) does that stop your period? i am honestly dreading the test i really am really am,I dont wana do it coz i always get a negative I prefer in the not knowing phase,help...lol!

[margi26]

Greekchick: Sorry the 2ww is so stressful!! So you are 11dp3dt? (11 days past a 3 day transfer) regarding AF ( bleeding) yes, the progesterone will likely postpone it regardless of if you are pregnant or not. At this point the only way to really have a clue if you don't want to wait until your beta is to take a HPT...that is POAS. At 14 dpo you would very likely get a positive at this point if you are pregnant. Although there are examples of women with negatives that go on to get a +beta the next day. It's your choice. Otherwise, "symptoms" are really not very accurate. Can you ask your clinic for a beta tomorrow if you don't want to POAS? If tomorrow you are 15dpo that is plenty of time for them to do blood test. Unless you are only 11 dpo, then you are not. 11 days post transfer is different.

Hang in there!! The 2ww is always "crazy making" we are here with you!! And have it all crossed for a BFP for you.

[greekchick]

margi-thank - you for your surport how did u get on with ur 2ww coz when i just joined the board you had a photo of your postive test on here which wa great!!did you have any symtons at all in the week wait?x

[margi26]

Greekchick: No real symptoms. Sorry!! I used a lot of positive visualization and even listened to guided meditation specific for IVF to help me during this recent 2ww. I have had several cycles as you can see and (for me) there wasn't much difference between BFP and BFN 2ww. I also am a "POAS" addict, so I tested daily...even when it was clear it was from the trigger...I then tested the trigger "out" and waited for my BFP. I know that it makes some women more stressed to test, but for me it helped give me something to do and to look for.

Can you call your clinic to ask for an earlier beta test?

Sending you:

[greekchick]

margi-i can go anytime after tuesday for my beta ,but im the opposite of you ,you are addicted to tests and im scared of them but will have to do it i can wait for my test no prob coz im dreading it, I think i will go on thursday im sooo scared its goin be negative im trying to be positive but trying also prepare myself for a let down again might do a urine test aswel before i go for the beta just wish i had some sign Im sorry for going on bout it to u margi...thanks for listening tho...is sit tomorrow you go for your u/s??xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[margi26]

Greekchick: I understand your worry completely. It is totally normal. IF you really are going to wait until Thursday for your beta, I suggest you plan some things to distract you between now and then. Any awesome movies you have been wanting to see? What things do you like to do? Maybe consider downloading some guided meditation....I really think it helps keep up the positive visualization. Also, are you doing any acupuncture? I find that soooooo relaxing. I hope you don't mind my asking: why are you waiting until Thursday if you can go on Tuesday? It seems as though your time "not-knowing" isn't very happy time for you as you are stressed about the results--as are we all!!!...just trying to understand your reasoning, not trying to judge.

AFM: Yes, tomorrow is the u/s. I am a bit of a wreck regarding it. Trying to keep myself distracted and trying to keep the "what will be will be" attitude as I have no control whatsoever on what we see/don't see tomorrow. Hoping and praying for good news to share tomorrow afternoon.
