Cycling In 2012 Board (formerly Fall/Winter 2011-2012)

[WeHaveHope]

Akdelp-woohoo!!! A line is a line is a line. I can totally understand not celebrating yet. With this past cycle, I got a positive HPT and continued to get one everyday until Beta. I actualy didn't even tell DH until the positive Beta. I was just so scared to get my hopes up. So I understand. I am praying for you. That line will get darker!!!

[fvrogers]

Just a quick post tonight.

Akdelp - Congrats!!! I am so happy for you!! I am too chicken to POAS. Hoping you will see that line get darker tomorrow.

Kamina - So sorry the Chinese food and Gatorade did not work for you. I did wonders for my bloating and cramps. Hope you start to feel better. When is your transfer again?

Anton - I am too nervous to POAS. I don't know how to pee on just one stick. I really get out of control. I start lining them up and its gets really sad.Plus I have a super busy day tomorrow and Friday will be here before I know it. I will just be on pins and needles all day Friday.

Indigo - I am at a loss for words.

Just sending hugs. Know that you have our support. I hope that your IVF doc can offer you some comfort.

Greekchick -

I am not familiar with fibroids and their impact on TTC. But I am sure someone here can help you out.

WeHaveHope - I am glad that you are all set for Friday with a plan that works for everyone. I hope that it all goes well!!

Everyone else - as always you are in my thoughts and prayers.

AFM - Heading to bed. Gotta get up at 4:00am and not looking forward to it . I had a crazy day at work and wish I had just stayed home until my beta. No matter how easy I try to take it I always end up having to help a patient do something or get up and I am so afraid that I over did it today. I guess I will find out on Friday .

I have been MIA for awhile. I am just feeling a little blah these days and just stressing out I think.... I am so far behind in the personals... I am so glad that you are all on here....

indigo... all i can say is that I am sorry.... I have no words to make you feel better but I am thinking of you! I pray that you are doing ok!

I hope that you all are doing well and I pray that you all are staying strong!! I am waiting and waiting.... uh... you all have a great week!

Indigo, I'm so sorry to hear about your cycle and BFN. I had the same thing last cycle, barely anything even worth transfering. I was so frustrated (and broke). Keep us posted on your plans for the future, will continue to pray for you and all the girls on the board.

[tuffy4u]

Akdelp Congrats on your line! I'm going to try and test tomorrow morning. I think it's to early but you never know. Good night every one!

[Kamina]

indigo fire= there are not words to express how sorry I am. You did better with your own eggs...I dont understand what happened.... I started crying big time. I can relate this is my last chance also.... again, I m sooooo sorry.

WeHaveHope - im so glad your babies are coming home this friday. Please lord let this be the one. Please

akdelp = Im hoping the line gets darker and darker

fvrogers = maybe it did. Maybe things would be worse if I would not have had it. My transfer date will be on Sunday. .

Indigo-- I am so sorry. What crap. Why does this have to be so so so very hard and heartbreaking and scary?????
Please give yourself extra TLC.

Good morning friends. I want to officially welcome all of you to the Fall/Winter Board 2011-12 Combined!!! I wanted to make sure that everyone here has a home after the Fall. Welcome to the new Board. Sending you all xoxo.

Thanks We, I really needed to know I have a home here, you ladies have become my family, and only you ladies understand the emotions I go through. This morning my mom called and woke me and the first thing she said was Christy you have a new cousin. It took me a second to understand her because I was half asleep. She said did you already know that, I said yes Mom your sister texted the entire family last night. I said Mom you sound sick with larygitis your voice is gone and why are you calling me to tell me this! I was angry and she could tell she told me she loved me and hung up. Then she calls me back and tells me to request off from work the first weekend in November so she can come and see me. I'm still upset and tell her Mom you need to get well, go see the new baby in the family and don't worry about me. I hang up and she calls me back. she knows I'm upset and says Christy what is wrong with YOU? I tell her the truth is Mom I love my cousin and everyone's baby in the family but we have to accept that I may never have one of my own and it breaks my heart into a million pieces everytime I hear someone like yourself talking about their baby!!!! I want to give you that grandchild but I may never get that chance, I cannot promise that...so then I breakdown. She asked what did the doctor say, omg she really has no clue and I tell her it's going to be months before this thyroid is normal so I can try treatment once again. Ugh! This is why we all live in different states, we know with my immediate family next door I would go completely insane. My aunt has been telling my mom to leave this alone but she won't listen but she should know how sensitive I get by now. I can handle the inlaws perfectly fine but my own don't think before they speak and it drives me up the wall! I had to vent this morning, what a great way to start my day off. Well CVS just called to remind me my thyroid meds are ready and off to town I go, but problem is my husband needs me to stay put for the internet guy to come today, I might have to leave a note on my own front door that I left the building!

[sunshine and stars]

Sunshine-- Wow...that must have been a difficult conversation. You're right, sometimes distance is good. I can't do "baby" talk at all; it's just way too painful. Yes, it's true, this IS family-- IVF family-- and all the ladies here understand the emotional roller coaster that comes to us. I can't leave this board because I feel like I will jinx myself or something.

Be good to yourself. Thanks for sharing.

[Sunshine1576]

SunshineandStars,
Thanks for responding, please stay here with us as long as you can. Promise to stalk us when you do get further along because you know the journey but more importantly you know you have family here too. xoxoxo Christy

[Sunshine1576]

Indigo,
I am shedding some tears for you too, because I know by now you probably cried yourself out. It just isn't fair! I wish we had more resources to contribute funds for the next cycle, and more compassionate and ethical doctors to work with us. I will pray that your doctor will give you another cycle if not free at least discounted. Stay strong, If there is a will there has to be a way. I certainly will place you in my prayers today that God will open some doors! On some days it feels like the fog is so strong and we cannot see down this road, but with guiding light we will find our way. xoxoxo- Christy

[akdelp]

We - Tomorrow is your day!!!!!

rvrogers - Your day tomorrow! How are you feeling?? I still feel "normal".

tuffy4u - When did you do your transfer? I got a faint positive on 5dp5dt both times I have transfered. Lucky I suppose. Or as the docs say, my body is an over achiever!

Baby dust to all....can't wait to hear about all the BFP's we will all have!!!!

[blessed143]

Wehavehope- took me awhile to realize that this is the same board! How exciting that your transfer is tomorrow!! I hope that all goes well! I am thinking of you and I hope that you are doing well...

akdelp- hope that the lines get darker and darker and your beta comes quickly with great results. congrats!

tuffy- lets us know!! How exciting... I know the first time i think i tested every day.... no self control so thankful for the dollar hpt! Good luck thinking of you!

fvrogers- thinking of you and your beta!!! I cant wait to hear! I hope that your numbers are good!!!

greekchic-welcome to the group... I konw that you will have the support you need!

AFM- I think that I have needle fright now. It is taking me longer and longer to give me my lupron injections in the morning. I am excited that this saturday I stop the bcp and wait for af. Still cant believe that I am excited about af.... Sounds so weird... I think my DH thinks I am crazy.... I got some news that my best friend may be moving away in January.... its to the west coast and we live on the east. I am so sad, she has been there for me over so much and we have become so close over the years! She will find out for sure if her DH got the job in a few weeks-of course I am going through IVF and I could be so over emotional then.... I am trying to stay strong through the ivf process and waiting for af.... praying and thinking of you all!! I have to go to the dentist...not my favorite thing at all!! Have a great day

Hi ladies,
I subscribe to this website called daily desktop quotes that sends me daily inspirational/motivational quotes. For the most part, the ones I post on this board are not from daily email I receive just because they don't really fit our situations. But today I received one that was very motivational and I thought I would share it. Remember, we are never guaranteed tomorrow so enjoy every minute of today. Sending you all xoxo.

"Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you have been unable to finish. Let your first hour set the theme of positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail."
