Summer Board 2011

[WeHaveHope]

My dearest friends,
I am on my iPhone so I will try an do personals a but later. Just wanted to let you know that, as I thought, the Beta came back even lower at 428 today. I sm officially at the end of this road and will stop all my meds today. May my little ones rest peacefully in the glory of God and the angles who visited me to let me know they were going to be safe.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for showing mr so much love and support. Thank you for always keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I love you all more than any words I can ever post on this board. I am eternally greatfull.

For those of you going through difficult times, don't give up hope. Stay focused in your dreams. Have faith that this difficult journey will lead to where it needs to lead each and everyone of us. It's not an easy journey, but I haven't given up and neither should you. My next cycle will hopefuly, God willing be sometime in October. I'll give you all more details later but I am thinking that maybe I should start a "Fall Cycle" board. Only thinking about it right now. We will see.

Sending you all much love.

Hi all

Christy : really glad you feel a little better today.

Felicia : I'm feeling good thanks and another scan tomorrow to check follicles. I totally get what you mean about not wanting to see all the couples and their new babies. Self-compassion is what's important and anyway, God is with you

Lauren : oh I really hope the bleeding isnt a period. Do you feel up to going for the beta tomorrow?

Prayers: how are you doing?

Wishingandhoping: how are you now? What time is your appointment tomorrow? Starting prayers now.

Lyd10 : how are you feeling? From what people are saying those sticks are not that reliable so here's hoping its that

Lauren 319: oh I know those herbs, they are disgusting! Go easy and ask your accupuncturist is there something that would help the taste

Longtimerivf: I'm so sorry about your niece's diagnosis. I'm sure its really emotional as well as tiring for you

[Ninde]

Wehavehope: I'm really sorry. You have a truly amazing gift of faith and I hope you can feel some support from that. I'm truly sorry

Rabcin : welcome I live in ireland and dont know the uk clinics. If people cant help here because its more of an American group, I believe fertilityfriends.co.uk might have more uk people

Afm: apart from battling with my phone to post these I
Good. Better sleep r follicle checking scan at 8am and its nearly 1am now! I hope I didnt miss anyone

Dear friends,

In an effort to move forward I have started a new board and will be moving to this board. The board is called the "Fall Cycle (Oct/Nov) this cycle will be the one". I have faith that this will be the cycle for me and for those who were not successful during the Summer cycle. For those of you who did not have their dreams come true this time, next time will be the one for us. Please join me so we can support each other throigh this journey. I love you all and wish you all the best life has to offer. Stay positive, never give up, and never loose faith.

Wishing: I had bleeding at 6 weeks, 8 weeks, and 10 weeks (3 times in the same day!), and each time, my RE brought me in for an u/s to check on the little guy and bring me some peace of mind . . .each time it started off red and then tapered off to brown . . . like I said, I've had unexplained bleeding three times so far and the little guy is still going strong . . . maybe your cervix is irratated, maybe you have a clot in your uterus, maybe something is up with your glands . . . drink lots of water and lay down for the rest of the evening . . . afm, they never could figure out what caused the bleeding, but I'm 14 weeks along now . . . good luck

Ninde,
Thinking of you as you get ready for your scan tomorrow, starting meds this week? I am not good at keeping up!

Anton,
Are you out there? We hope you are taking good care of yourself and spending some quality time with dh. Did you find Happy, I know that broke your heart. I believe rescue dogs are THE best and wouldn't have it any other way!

Wishingandhoping,
I am saying prayers for you tonight too, please keep us posted.

AFM: Felt bloated earlier today, been drinking lots of water now somewhat better. With Progesterone I'm trying to time it every 12 hrs but work conflicts a little. Tonight dh and I snuggled in bed and watched TV. He kissed me all over but nothing more, he said he didn't want to compete with the progesterone. lol He says he is really afraid to touch me, and it may be that way until my next cycle starts.

Dear all - I hope the morning finds you all well

Right, I had my second scan. Apparently my lining is 7.4mm (I've had six days of puregon, 7th this evening) and my right ovary is showing 5 follicles - 4 above 10 and my left is a little quieter showing 1 of 11.5 and some smaller ones which she didn't manage to measure but thinks may grow.

She said I was on track and will call me later with results of bloods and next date for scan which may be a day or two. It all sounded fine in terms of how the nurse felt - anyone any ideas if these numbers are good?

We- thank you for your support and the fall will be the one for you!! Take care and lots of baby dust. I had my appt this am-- and I got my BFP!! Well, its unfortunately not too FAT... I wish I could be excited but, my nurse said it was very faint positive so she "isn't sure what kind of pregnancy it is." I will get a call later this afternoon with numbers. I guess the BFP is just the beginning...

[Prayersnpies]

Ninde-- congrats, you are moving right along.. Numbers sound good to me

[Ninde]

Prayersandpies: Talk about a rollercoaster - a BFP which is wonderful - and then some caution? I really hope its totally BFP and that they tell you soon. Have they called yet (timedifference has me all over the place!)


Ninde

[LYD10]

prayers - congrats on your BFP! are they going to give you a beta number?

ninde - looks like things are moving right along!

AFM - still getting my faint lines on HPT - still not getting any darker. my beta is tomorrow and they'll probably will have me come in for 2nd one on friday or the following monday.

[Prayersnpies]

OMG--:). I'm in shock- I am officially preggo beta 117 -I'll go back Fri morning for beta #2... I can't wait to celebrate with my DH..

Crashing---

Prayernpies-Congratulations. I am so happy for you. Enjoy this moment. You deserve it.

[Wishingandhoping]

Prayersnpies- CONGRATS!!! That is great news! Sending you doubling vibes!

Ninde- Everything sounds great! You'll be ready for retrieval in no time!

Lyd- Don't lose hope! It can take a while to see the HPT really darken...especially the cheaper ones in my experience. Can't wait to hear that beta tomorrow!

AFM- Thank you all for the encouragement. I went to see my RE today. Ultrasound shows 2 gestational sacs, each with a fetal pole. They could even see the flicker of a heart with one of them! Unfortunately there is some bleeding at one of the sacs. The RE says that happens with a lot of women...no real cure for it. He said that bedrest may help, but that is tough because we need my income to pay for these babies! I'm lying down right now, and the bleeding seems to have stopped. Lots of continued prayer!
