we-It is much darker!!! I understand the not celebrating yet but I cant wait for your beta!!! Oh wow only a few short days left!! How exciting!

Thank you all for the thoughts and suggestions... AF is still not here... yup still not here. Called RE again today and the one that answered (she is new but sweet) told me it could take 7-10 days and to call WHEN it comes on MOnday..... Thank you for being so positive but..... I am not sure that is what I wanted to hear. Actually got a little upset. I am so stressed over getting my period and you tell me to call first thing on monday when I get it.... How can you be so sure?? I wanted answers and well I dont think that I got any true answers... I was wondering how this is going to set me back for the transfer date and so on and so on.... errr.... AF should just show up so this can be done! I know that this will be a stressful weekend. I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend!!! Keep the bfps coming! Praying that af comes soon!

We, I can't believe you post everyone of your pregnancy tests! That's so awesome. Definately looks darker, especially for a dollar store brand. You must be pumping out the HCG.

Blessed- Sorry to hear about AF, I'm sure you are very frustrated after talking to the nurse. Let's just pray that she's right and it will be here soon.

Leora- It must be tough not cycling this month. I found the hardest part of infertility is the waiting, first wait 2 years before anyone will even test you, then wait for all the tests, then wait while you cycle. Now you have to wait again. Luckily 30 days will pass soon and your family will be there to distract you. I have always wanted to go to israel, but to tell you the truth I have been a little scared to travel there. Sounds like a pretty normal place to me, maybe I can convice DH to take me.

AFM- just made apple crisp and am eating it right out of the pan. My little embryos made me do it! We are having a late summer here in MN and we are enjoying it. I have tried to be outside as much as possible. US scheduled for the 25th.

Talk to you all soon.

K8 - fantastic number. meez thinks you've got a couple a brewin'!

Leora - I can imagine how it must be bittersweet to have your family visit.

Anton - how did the interview go? Congrats on AF arriving. It sounds like your buffet breakfast may have sweetend up DH. All the best with your appt this week. :)

Ak - what an lovely dark HPT. Yay, yay, yay!

Blessed - you must be so fed up with waiting. Stay strong, it'll be here real soon. :)

Sunshine - how's the hair? The head hair that is!

Ninde - I know it probably feels like your next IVF cycle will be ages away. I think you'll be surprised at how fast time passes. Hang in there. Your moving forward....

Tuffy - yip, blame it on the babies. Love it!

AFM - not much happening for me. It's the Rugby World Cup over at the moment and everyone has gone rugby mad! DH and I are not particularly into it but will watch the big games. Go the All Blacks! Best sign off and go rescue the washing...it's raining. Send back our Spring you Northern Hemisphere folk! :roll:

Lauren - yes 5 more days.... My breast totally deflated over night. Not a good sign. Sigh. All my pregnancy symptoms stopped. I'm not feeling very hopeful. This DHEA sound as bad a Lupron. Maybe you can purchase a new deodorant and soap for your DH.

Leorira - so people are not suppose to eat pork, but pretend. Well I guess we all pretend. My motherinlaw is muslim and eats pizza. Her sons keep telling her she is eating 'sausage'. The poor woman. Wow I did not know your work week was Sun- Thurs.

k8tie - wonderful, wonderful news!!!! Twinsss!!!! :D

AFM - still waiting for 10/12 and loosing hope. My breast no longer feel tender or swollen and I feel like I am going to start my cycle. Are any of you ladies having preg symptoms yet? I just cant bring myself to POAS it will only confirm my worse fears. Besides this way I get to hang out with you ladies until the 12th. Unless AF comes. Or maybe she cant due to all the hormones?

Hello ladies! I haven't been on for a while...my how quickly things move around here! Congratulations to all those with BFPs!!! I am so very happy for all of you:) For those with not so good news, my heart goes out to you. I wish I knew the words to say to comfort you.

AFM- I am finally feeling like things are moving forward again. I started BCP today! Looking at ER somewhere around Nov. 8 or 9. I really hope all these BFPs are catchy!!!

I found another quote that I really think applies to all of us...

"Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do."
 H Jackson Brown Jr

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend:)

Kamina - Stay positive hun. It could just be changes in Progesterone absorption. Sometimes the symptoms we feel are related to the progesterone and I think sometimes our body just reacts differently to it that others. My symptoms come and go. Sometimes I am so nauseous and have indigestion while others I do not feel really different. I just chop it up to the Progesterone. You are in my prayers that AF will stay away and you will get your BFP. Image

I am good. Having spurts of nausea and indigestion. I am also noticing my heart beat feels like it is bounding. Not too sure if it is the Progesterone or what. No more appointments until my U/S on 10/24, I am just in constant prayer until then. My RE said there was no need to do another beta so I am trying to relax. I still POAS every now and then just because I enjoy seeing the 2nd line. Image

How are you feeling?? I love seeing your line get darker every day. That is awesome!!!

Happy Weekend Everyone :D !

We, I am seeing the darker line girl, less then 3 days till beta :D!

Kamina, I'm the same way, don't like those sticks either until I'm actually late, but in this case your beta will be here soon try to keep yourself distracted, I know it's hard but try and I will keep on praying over here.

Tess, Too funny- yes the hair up there is a bit darker then I used to, going to try out some new shampoo tomorrow! But I am thinking I want more red, it's become my latest obsession. :D My favorite stylist wanted to go easy on the red since she didn't want me to be completely shocked, but I'm ready for red. Btw, come visit Florida where you have 80 degree weather even around Christmas. It's too funny seeing fleece coats and wool sweaters come into Chico's boutique esp when we never get snow down here, but we get alot of Canadians around the holidays so maybe we're catering to them!

k8ielovett, Congratulations on your news, I know you must be over the moon! Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest and let those babies grow nice and healthy, yes I said babies, maybe 2 you never know! :D


AFM: Worked a full shift today and dh took me out for dinner at a new seafood restaurant tonight. Yuck, I was so grossed out from the man who sat at the table directly in front of us...Seriously I looked up at dh as we were talking and this man's britches slide out and I got a good view of his crack, it was sooooo horribly disguisting! It really made me want to say something, I should of as we were walking out but I'll always think of this place as the bald man who mooned me! Really?!?! I don't want to see that!
