rio- Thanks! We put back 2. This is so surreal & still nervewracking as I'm still cautious. But, I'm definitely enjoying the news so far.

Ninde- Thank you! I feel pretty good. Yesterday, I had some minor waves of nausea. I kept telling myself that it's all in my head, but it really wasn't. I have had some minor cramping, here & there. How about you...how are you feeling? Good luck with your presentation!

Lou- Thanks girl! I'm slowly taking it in, but still very cautious. I'm not sure about twins. I know numbers don't necessarily mean a thing, but we are above average for a singleton, but a little below average for twins. This was off the BetaBase wesbite.

WeHaveHope- Yay for starting the b!t@h juice!!! The 30th is not too far away & you will be getting your BFP that will stick w/ you for 9 months!

Felicia- Hey hun! Good to hear from you! That is wonderful news that you get an unexpected partial reimbursement from your insurance company! I will be crossing everything that you get a sticky BFP!

MadameX- I'm praying that tomorrow's ET brings you great news & that you'll have some to pick from & some to freeze! I'm assuming they haven't called you, so that means ET is still on, right?

Amanda- Thank you!

Christy- Thanks! Glad the medicine for your thyroid is not giving you any side effects.

Ryann- Thank you!

anton- Thanks girl!

fruit- Great to hear from you!!! A natural IUI & no AF yet? Have you tested yet?

Lou- Thanks for stalking me!

Lauren319- I'm so sorry you're going through MIL crap & this cycle is a crazy rollercoaster...not fun at all! It's good that your E2 levels increased. I'm hoping tomorrow's SnS brings you some good news!

Cheri- Hey you! How are you? Of course, I remember you! Are you going to be cycling again?

Kiminsh- Thank you! Good to hear from you! What's going on w/ you?

Wishingandhoping- Thanks! Oh how cute...your babies are getting bigger! I can't believe you're already 9 weeks!

Michele- Thanks for stopping by!!! A decaf sounds good!

BlissfulCS- Thank you!

Lydia- Thanks! When do you go back for another BETA?

Lauren- Thank you!

Quick update before I head outside for the first time today since the major rainstorm we had...watched "When a Man Loves a Woman" and followed by another movie "Maybe Baby" which is about an infertile couple going through treatment but had to shut it off when her good friend from work kissed her unexpectedly, I could only imagine where that was going...but I do prefer movies that stick to the point. Probably if I had contiue watching this flix she could of gotten pregnant but have to remind myself it was only a movie and we are proactively doing what we can to make this dream reality!

MooreBaby- Congratulations on your second beta and make sure you celebrate for me with some gingerale, which is also good for minor cramping. I couldn't be more happier for you, promise me you will live up every minute of this :D and enjoy your pregnancy!

MadameX- How exciting to know the results of your embryos and transfer day is tomorrow with TWINS! I will be saying a prayer for you tonight too! :D

Anton- Thank you for being such a dear friend to all of us and even though we never physically met I still fell like we are family on here! I love Belles, she is with her dad until tomorrow. When she get back when have invitations to make for our Neighborhood Fall Block Party planned for Oct. 1st...lots of grilling out with bbq which will be FUN! :D

Lauren319- I'm also going to continue praying tomorrow's results bring you a BFP, it's all in His hands! :D

Evening ladies

Moorebaby: Well done on your beta! I havn't had any nausea but I've had some cramping (very mild) and also this might sound crazy but despite losing a pound in weight, I'm struggling to do up the button on my jeans - its like I'm stretching!

Madame X: Thats absolutely fantastic - oh very well done! You will make it to transfer! And what a wonderful day for a transfer!

Lauren 319: Good look tomorrow

Lyd10: How are you doing?

Anton: Thanks for all the lovely wishes :) How are you doing?

Sunshine1576: Lol, not a great movie then?! I went to see 'the inbetweeners' last night - real teenage boy humour but very funny

Afm: Three quarters of presentation done and sent off. All the talk of you ladies having bloods done every two days has made me think about paying to have a blood test done with a clinic! I'm not sure if I'm just being mad or not?!

Ninde,
I hope you are doing well, and the shock is settling in :D ... How often will you visit the doctor for u/s and bloodwork?

Nope I wasn't too crazy about "Maybe Baby"- it had a couple funny lines talking about infertility one was"Well I don't want to be 50 years old running around the house wondering whose teeth those are..." and I liked the piano scene with their hound-dog "singing" along. But the plot wasn't strong enough, and by far I know so many of us could of wrote a better storyline on infertility, with our own personal journey maybe throw in some humor but then again I don't know too many that would put their personal journey as national news. We understand it's personal, but at the same time there should be better movies out there to raise awareness and as I've said before insurance companies to cover all our medical expenses, oh but we're trying to make the best out of this and bring home a baby. :D

Sunshine : its definately not a good portrayal in that movie. The clinics dont do any more bloodwork other than the first beta. My ultrasound is at 7 weeks so thurs Sept 22. Then the clinic discharges me if all is well and I go to antenatal care in one of the maternity hospitals. I think my first appointment is 12 weeks there. I need to sort that this week and find private care as our public system is very overcrowded.

wow Ninde, only one beta with the clinic. From reading the other's post it sounds like in the U.S. we go often for follow-ups nothing wrong with that just different from Ireland. lol no need to go mad and pay for 2nd and 3rd and a 4th beta, I am just happy that you got IVF success on the first try! :D Keep us posted on how you are doing over here and with your upcoming presentation and work-- maybe those 3 weeks (for the next dr visit) will come quickly and fly by for you. Keeping your mind preoccupied is the best thing you can do so you don't go mad. lol
