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

[WeHaveHope]

Becca-I am so sorry. Please try to keep your head up. I know, easier said then done. Dont loose sight of your dreams. Ask God for strength to move forward with whatever you decide. Sending you lots of hugs today.

Haven't seen any new posts in a while. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hello to all. Checking in to see how everyone is doing.

We, when is your transfer?

Have been away from the board for several days. I just needed time to grieve. I can't believe how much a chemical pregnancy affected me. I slept the entire weekend. Am feeling much better now and DH and I finally had a long talk about whether or not we were going to continue on this journey. We have decided to keep trying. So we are scheduling our end of cycle consult and then will decide if we try a new donor or continue with this one.

Sending warm thoughts and baby dust to everyone.

[WeHaveHope]

Becca-so glad to hear from you. The board has been extremely quiet. I was starting to think that everyone just moved on to other boards. I am happy that you and your DH have decided to keep trying. I wish you all the best. My transfer is scheduled for July 20th. I hope and pray that this will be our time. So glad to hear from you. Please keep in touch.

Hey ladies- I am still out here reading up on how you are doing and thinking of you. Things are going well here. Had my second u/s and things are going along just as they should be. Some morning sickness and I am crazy tired all the time. I guess I feel a little bad posting with my terrific news when I know others are struggling. I guess its proof that IVF miracles do happen...and that it sometimes takes time.

We- best of luck in your cycle in July. It seems like the summer board has a lot of action and some terrific ladies. Not sure if you are on there, but a couple of old buddies are there. LYD10 is there and is waiting on her beta which is scheduled for Monday. She went early in this group in February and had a tough chemical if you recall.

Hi Blissful - great memory!! yes - i am waiting for beta. my work has been so busy - with the new department and all - that i even havent had time to obsess - which is kind of nice for a change. beta is coming up on monday, i am considering poasing over the weekend but i dont have any sticks and probably wont get around to buying them. so i'll just go to the doc first thing monday morning and give blood and then to work.

weirdly, i've actually been feeling pregnant for some reason. i am not nauseous or anything but just have a weird feeling in my uterus which makes me think that's something is growing there. i hope to be proven correct on monday. but of course it could all be in my head or due to progesterone shots. in any case, that's what's up with me!
speaking of progesterone shots, i hit a blood vessel last night and there was so much bleeding and now a purple/red bruise on my behind. urghhh - cant wait for that to go away.

[BlissfulCS]

Ouch on the blood vessel LYD10. Sounds like it might be worth it. Its funny...I felt preggo with my first IVF for about a day and it turned out to be a chemical. On the two BFNs I didn't feel preggo at all. On this one I woke up the morning of Beta with sore BBs...more than just progesterone BBs and remember thinking "It CAN happen to me...and I think this is it." So I don't discount any feeling...even intuition. Best of luck to you!

Checking in. Talked to RE today. We are going to get busy with next cycle. Planning to freeze the embryos, as we are going to do more complex genetic testing. RE thinks could be a problem with DH's sperm quality.

We, thinking of you. I know your transfer is coming up in a couple of weeks. Keep good thoughts!

[WeHaveHope]

Becca-so happy to hear from you. There has no activity on this board for a while. I think that everyone has moved to other boards. I posted on the summer board yesterday for the first time. I am so glad to hear from you.

[crissylove]

Hey Becca and WE-I WILL be following you guys. Most of us are gone "yes", but you guys are certainly not forgotten. You have our utmost support and I wish you both much success. BABY BABY DUST. Muah!!

[BlissfulCS]

We and Becca- I am still stalking you too. I even have watched the summer board to try to keep up with you ladies as well as some others but hadn't seen you post yet. Best of luck!

Crissylove- you know I have been stalking you on the November thread too. It was great to hear from you and I hope all is going well.

[katieb1231]

I check back on the board every so often and it was nice to see a couple posts today......

Bliss & Crissy - I check on you two on the pregnant after treatment board so I know you both are doing great! We & Becca I am so happy you two are moving forward & I pray with every fiber of my being that this is your bring home baby cycle! I will continue to stalk you all and pray for healthy outcomes for you all.

AFM - After our last MC in March we decided to have a fertility free summer & not think about anything regarding baby at all. And of course thats when it happens, Emilee's birth Mom called us and said she is pregnant again and would we like to adopt her baby and we said of course! She calls herself my secret surrogate and it is fun for me my friends and I joke that I am actually 12 weeks pregnant but I can drink wine......Not sure we will go back to IVF but for now we are concentrating on this baby and will make our minds up after we follow this path. I don't have any boards I can join or any that I have found that are like all you ladies so I have just been following & praying that each of you get your dream....

I will continue to stalk & pray and can't wait to hear about all the good news coming your way...xoxo

[longtimerivf]

Katie!!! Congratulations on your new miracle!!!

We have filed with a lawer and are in the waiting period... And in the mean time doing my FET as we speak to be able to move on... Because the adoption route seems and has been for us very long!!!

Congratulations again on that call and on your new miracle!!! (if you have some advice I'd love a pm to get more hopes on finding our baby!!)

Hugs!!
