Anton - I'm so sorry dear- I know how much it sucks to get the call. Too bad you cannot jump on a plane and meet your hubby for the weekend. I am sure you would feel better if you two were together and you can probably use some time away. Try to keep up the positive attitude as much as you can - from what I have seen, you are definitely mommy material! I hope and pray that this next cycle is "the one" for both of us!!!!

Dear Anton,

I've only been following this thread for a short time and I have grown to really like you. I am so so sorry. I was really hoping for a positive test for you. I just want you to know that I'm thinking of you.

Oh Anton NO NO NO I'm crying for you! This just stinks. Totally STINKS!!!!!! It's not fair and well, it just stinks. I just knew this was it for you. :( :( :( :(



I'm back from getting my stitch. It went fine. When the doctor came in and said to the nurse "I need a large and long speculum" I was thinking "couldn't you told her that before you came in to see me." LOL She got out the one she had prepared and he said "no. I need the large and long one" She smiled at me, left the room and then came back. I didn't even bother looking. I did NOT want to see it. The stitch itself wasn't bad. The worst part is the shot to numb the cervix. At the end when it seemed to be kind of taking a long time to finish up (because they had said "almost done. You've done great") he said "I'm just practicing by boy scout knots" LOL LOL LOL Then he said "not really. My fingers just aren't long enough" Gotta love keeping the humor about it all. He said I would probably cramp today and have some discharge but not to worry. He said if we have sex that dh should wear a condom because the stitch could be painful for him. I thought that was interesting. I was concerned about MY pain. Didn't even think about it being painful for hubby.

Anton, I meant to also say never think you aren't mommy material. None of us understand the whys behind all of this but it has nothing to do with you (or anyone here) not being mommy material. If that played a factor, all children in the world would be happy and well loved.

Don't let thoughts like that get you down. This road is hard enough w/out those icky thoughts. You hang in there! You ARE mommy material and one day you'll get to use those amazing mommy skills!!!!!! Big hugs for you

Greekchick: HANG IN THERE!!! Find something to distract you...the 2ww is definitely Crazytown. PUT AWAY THE STICKS for a few days....I don't know how many dpo you are, but the one thing you did confirm is that your trigger is out. So when you do get a positive stick you will know it isn't the trigger. That said, take a few days away from the sticks and then try again...but only if you want to of course. And regarding your friend--I am no expert--but my understanding is anything between 8-14 is good for implantation. Hang in there and have a good weekend!! Rent some movies, go out to eat, do things to keep your mind off the sticks.

Anton: I'm so, so sorry. BFN's are awful. I hope your RE can shed some light on your cycles and get a new game plan going. I have every confidence you will be a mom soon!

Dallas: Hang in there. M/S is no fun, but at least the hormones are taking care of your babies =)

Greek Chick: A BFN right now just means the HCG trigger is out of your system. Next time you get a BFP, it will be for real!

AFM: Beta is . . . 240! I'm pregnant! I've been POAS-ing for a few days now, but it felt good to hear my RE confirm it. And my DH was really stoked too. Progesterone is a little low, so I have to start taking suppositories as well. Second beta is Tuesday. Hope it looks good =)
