Anton where do you get your adorable pictures! Just seeing them makes me smile

Wishingandhoping- The the digitals take longer to register. If you have a faint one at 5 days post I would say you BFP. From everything I have read the shot is only in your system at a HPT level for like 4 days. I might be wrong but thats what I have heard.

Faithful2011- WAITING IS SO HARD! I know it is just enjoy the PUPO feeling. I loved that feeling.

Smoon- thanks for your reply. It certainly could be chemical. I'm on progesterone in oil (1cc) at night. I'm anxious to hear from the RE about my estrogen and progesterone levels. I bled last time and they just said not to worry about it, but I got a BFN. This time they were willing to check labs. I really don't have high hopes. My boobs were sore, but now they aren't.

Hello there girl,,, I am not saying that yours could be chemical just think about this every girl is different, yours might be same like mine but it could result into positive ang healthy one. Who knows.Me i only take one progestrone (utrogestron) 3x a day.

Anyways, dont lose hopes and dont stress out your mind thinking about you could have BFN. Stay positive and be positive until you beta day.... Hang in there coz miracle happens all the time.... Dont think about it too much. And plus using hpt could really made emotional. So if i were you, try not to use one! Coz me I am avoiding it. My prayers goes to you and be strong!!!!!!

I know I haven't left any messages since my first but i have been reading the posts and praying that everyone gets their bfps.Not only did we do our first ivf this month, we also decided to move, so crazy month. I just got my results for my first ivf today no luck. My deal is tied tubes and everyone was very hopeful even my kids who want to have a baby too. I feel like somehow i let everyone down. Even if it isn't my fault I feel responsible. My husband doesn't have any kids and both his brothers (who shouldn't be having kids) are expecting. He said he made his choice when he married me. He told me that I was more important but, I feel like I took away his dream. This really SUCKS! I had no idea of the emotional roller coaster I would be on or the disappointment I would feel when it failed. Also the lack of faith that it will work the next time. I have five frosties, and they are going to implant three if they survive the process in June. When they're gone, we are done. NO PRESSURE. Sorry for exploding all over, just feeling very frustrated and alone right now. thanks

Ester- Thanks for up dating the list. I hope your healing is going well, your in my prayers.

Addy- Congrats on BFP

Anton- finally your day to start, feels great huh. Before you know it your emnbies will be home.

Blissful- Mother's day would be an fantastic time for your embies to come home, hope it falls on that day for you

Kbillsy- So sorry dear. I hear you on the frustration of waiting. We had to wait 2 months after our last cycle , and the 8 start this cycle. Unfortuantely there's only one game in town, next closest would be over 10hr drive away. I hope you get some answers when you see your RE.

Faithful and WishingandHoping- yep TWW is a crazy town, try and keep up your PMA soon you'll be getting that good news.

Lauren- I think honesty is the best policy where health care is concerned. There's also a lot of stress with being dishonest and we now how important it is to be stress free during this IVF roller coaster

Margi- 1 more week until your next ultra sound. Praying it goes well for you. Your my inspiration this cycle.

To those stimming - Grow follies grow...
TWW Ladies- stick and grow babies

AFM- Spent last evening watching the election. When they kept refering to the Orange crush I thought of all you ladies here (fertility colour) and time for a historical change, ER went well. Out of the 18 follies we had 13 eggs. Now the wait for fertilization report tomorrow. If all goes well we are looking at a 3dt on Friday. So I get to go to my coference on Thursday, a little distraction before ET. Off to take some more tylenol and have anther snooze. Baby Dust to all of you.

[Heidi67]

Babytime- It's not your fault. IF is unfair, I have 3 special needs (MH) students who had babies this year, who can barely take care of themseleves so it's only a matter of time before they'll be in care. Life just works that way. I've read about many women who are more sucessful with FET then fresh. So there is lots of hope that things will work out in June. You are very lucky to have a loving and caring DH, many women don't have that. Your time will come. I saw Adjustment Bureau a few weeks ago, interestign concept on destiny/fate. There is plan for each of us, we just need faith and perserverance. Hope your feeling peace soon.

[BlissfulCS]

WishingandHoping- We are all wishing and hoping for you! Anxious to hear how it goes and keeping you in my prayers.

Babytime- I know the feeling you are describing all too well. I have no tubes and no kiddies and sometimes I love DH so much I just want to let him go have his dream with someone else. But he would never consider it of course...which ironically is one of the many reasons why I love him so. This is such a tough experience. It really tests your faith, patience, and sanity. But I know our marriages and character are made stronger for it. You are hurting desperately right now, but in time you will have hope again. We are strong and resilient. Hang in there honey!

AFM- Its official! I trigger tomorrow night and go in for FET on MOTHERS DAY!!! Yay! I get to celebrate my first Mother's Day ever this weekend because I will be PUPO for sure. I have a feeling it will be the first of many! Lining looks good, a little thin at 7.5 but not bad for CD10. Started estrace tonight to plump it up just a little. So excited! Have a little stress going at work and trying to let it roll because I can literally feel the impact on my body. Other than that (which is normal) everything is beautiful!

Babytime: Don't be so hard on yourself! I have an 18yr old, that my DH raised from the time he was 5! He doesn't have children of his own & I always said, "I WASN'T HAVING ANYMORE". I guess we did not plan to be together as long as we did, but we were married almost two yrs now (together 13) and I swore to him that I would not have any children out of wedlock AGAIN and I meant it. Sooooo here it is after a year & half of being married, I find out that I have a pituitary issue that was preventing me from getting a period for many years & therefore I could not get pregnant on my own anyhow!!! (BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR WAS MY LESSON LEARNED)

After the diagnosis, I sought out infertility docs & rested with the one I have now. This too was my 1st try & to my surprise...I got a BFP. I was hoping & praying GOD blessed me with a one shot deal because with my schedules & commutes...it makes it damn near impossible for me to try again this year at all! BESIDES, I HAVE NO FROSTIES!!! All I had to rely on was faith that God would look out for His own and that he would hear the sincerity in my prayers and bless my DH for waiting til marriage to even start a family, especially after being such a good dad to a child that was not biologically his own. I still have to keep my FAITH in tact even though, I am a lil over 3wks now. I'm not outta the woods yet but I'm trusting & believing that if God gave me this Miracle ...He will bless me & give my body what it needs to protect it & help it grow. I live a very active lifestyle & sitting around with my feet up is an option that I just don not have. Although I feel I am very delicate, I have to believe that everything will be just fine...what other hope is there?

Just take it easy, continue to prep your body with the nutrients it needs. Continue your pre-natals & folic acid & get your Mental Attitude Healthy!!!! You have to condition your mind so that it can prepare your body for good things. The mind is very powerful and you have to build up a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE (PMA) in order to get through this without falling apart. My heart goes out to you & I will be praying for & your family. So even if we believe others "should not be so lucky when blessed w/ a child", just remember that NO CHILD IS AN ACCIDENT. We are all here for a purpose my dear. Having to go thru this ordeal made me realize just how precious motherhood really is & anything worth having is definitely worth fighting for. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!!!

Lauren: your poor little puppy...and your poor ankle....heal quickly!!


Blissful: Yippeeeeee!! This FET is going perfectly....and Mother's Day. I love it. What a wonderful story to have...your baby (ies) coming to momma on Mother's day.

Heidi: Aw. Glad I can be your inspiration. What an awesome ER!! You go! Can't wait to hear how they fertilize and grow. Go momma!!

[DALLAS]

I am already going crazy with my 2ww and I am only 2dp5dt!!!! I keep trying to pay attention to every little thing my body does/feels. Sometimes I think I feel "twinges", then I wonder if I really do. The one thing I am really waiting for is that with my last BFP I had some milky discharge.... I havent had any of that yet. So it is an emotional roller coaster right now.

[DALLAS]

Ive also had a continuous headache for the last 2 days..... I hope its my hormones increasing and not stress.

[Wishingandhoping]

Thank you everyone for your advice and well wishes. My estrogen was 63 and progesterone was 21. My RE has started me on Vivelle dot patches. Still getting lines on HPT- getting darker. I'm having a lot of cramping though...like AF was here, but still just spotting. Going crazy

Baby time- I'm so sorry. My BFN on my first IVF was devastating, but it WILL work!

Dallas- Welcome to crazy town! I may be the mayor right now

Blissful- Mother's Day is perfect! This is your cycle!

Smoon- I'm so impressed that you can hold off on POAS! Thank you for the prayers! I'm praying for you too!

[JenMink55]

Babytime-- I am going to PM you my personal email. I think we have so much in common. Feel free to email me anytime! We can get through this!

[DALLAS]

Wishing- for us to have been transferred several days apart our beta's are actually only a day apart.

I felt "twinges" too and thought I may be bugging out but...here I am awaiting my ultrasound. Twinges are good IMO, lol.

Good Luck
