Thanks blueeyeddreamer, leorira, and ninde...your trigger dancing totally worked! HCG shot tonight and ER on Tuesday:) Thinking of all of you tonight!!!

[blessed143]

kala- I had the transfer Thursday so... I am not sure how to count. DH says that I count things funny. Might be because I try to be to precise. So... hehe... I am a wack job right now.

AFM- I broke down and bought my first pack of hpts... hehe... DH looked at me and asked when I was going to try one because I was not allowed to do it one everyday. hehe... I still just want to poas already but I dunno... Might try tomorrow. Might be a neg but still I dunno... I hope you all had a great weekend!

[WeHaveHope]

Hi ladies,
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I don't have much to report other than I'm scheduled for, what I pray is my last Beta with this cycle, tomorrow. Then hysteroscopy with endometrial biopsy on 11-18 and Repeated Pregnancy Loss Blood Panel two weeks later. I have an appointment with the college advisor on 11-14 and hopefuly will register for classes on the same day. Continuing with my Math tutor this week. Migraines continue. Will probably have to see a Neurologist afterall because I've had to take Maxalt sublingual twice this week. That's it for me.

Congratulations to all those with BFP's. I'm praying that you all have great Betas. Sending all those going through difficult times lots of strength and peace. Wishing all those that have ER/ET coming ip lots of luck. And praying that all those that are in the 2WW that you get the BFP you so much deserve.

I know I'm a bit behind in updating the Fall Roll Call so I ask that everyone look at the most recent Roll Call and if you need me to post an update, please send me a little note so I can update your status on the board. I will continue to pray for all of you that your dreams come true.

Blessed-here is a good site fir calculating dates when doing IVF. Hope it helps.

Kiminsh-good luck with your upcoming ER.

JenMink & Amanda-congrats on your BFP's.

Love always,

Maria

[JenMink55]

Happy Sunday - Fall back is lame... I am so confused about how to do my PIO shot tonight. I guess my body doesn't know the time changed so I will just do it an hour earlier??? Ugh, should have thought to ask my RE. Was going to ask Ghost but not sure how often he checks in. Need to know within the next hour

Anyway...........

blessed143- So you bought HPTs huh??? If you transferred Thursday you are 3dp 5dt today, I don't think they count the day of transfer. I think you will be safe to start testing on 5 or 6 dpt. I am assuming you did a fresh? If you did an FET I got a +HPT albiet chemical on 4dt 5dt but I have heard thats extremely early.

Wehavehope (Maria) - Could you move me to the BFP board. I just wanna see my name there I also wanted to say I am so sorry about the MIgraines. I had severe migraines in my teens and 20's and they were horrible. Never saw a Neuro but it was getting to that point. When I turned 31 they went away- crazy? I do get 1 per year and it's usually around the time the weather changes, in fact I just had my yearly one last week. I was on cafergot I believe when I had them. Anyway- I seriously hope your beta is 0 and you can move forward to a new cycle. It's hard to be in limbo-- I have been there. Much love and hugs to you (((Hugs)))

Kiminish-- Yeah for TRIGGER!!!!!!!! Wishing you tons of luck for ER. Hoping you have a nice healthy batch of eggies

Sunshine- I am so excited for your Beta. BTW, I have had some insane back pain this cycle so that might be a good sign my friend!

kala- your tots are in Serbia? How is that. Sorry, I must have missed the story. I just met somebody from Serbia the other day

Ninde- Feeling good. I get sick to my stomach a lot during the day, and I am crampy -so crampy but other than that no symptoms? The spa day sounds awesome, I think I am going to need one too.

rosie- Yeah for your super strong embies- 8 is GREAT!!!! I think 5dt is a good idea, I am praying for you and those beautiful embabies.

bodie- I hope you are doing great with those twins! I hope I have twins baking too. Did you have cramping after +HPT? I am having some wicked cramping which scares me Wishing you an awesome U/S on Tuesday! Those little babes are going to be just fine. The sickness you are feeling is good!

Jayne- don't give up on your cycle. I had minor light brown spotting and I have horrible cramps and I just got my +HPT. Are you doing PIO, that causes a lot of weird stuff...

Amanda- I am getting Beta with you tomorrow too. I hope we both get a nice strong Beta!! We could both move to PAT board together!

GIna- My RE is odd, he doesn't do an actual 2ww, I got in for beta 1 on 9dp 5dt which is tomorrow. I don't know why they actually call it the 2ww because I have done 4 IVF's and they have always been 7-9 day waits LOL

I think I have caught up with most of you! Has anybody seen Anton? I haven't seen her post in a while, just wanted to make sure she was okay.

AFM-- took another HPT today and it was positive. I was a little bummed because the line didn't get darker than 17 hours before, it stayed the same. I have been cramping pretty bad today and the sick to my stomach feeling is still there during the day. I am hoping the cramping is a good thing!! Chime in if you know it is LOL. Beta #1 tomorrow, will post as soon as I hear.

Wishing you all a ton of love tonight no matter where you are on your journey.

jenmink-Dh is from Serbia. We did our first IVF cycle there because it was cheaper and they had a higher success rate. It is nerve racking, all the travel and money and time and I'm going to miss my family on Christmas. I have to travel there with my 18 month old by myself next month for the FET. What if the embryos dont survive the thaw?!?! I hope I can turn around and come straight home. Oh well, hopefully it will be all worth it and I will come back to the states preggo again! fingers crossed!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOD LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK tomorrow....I will be checking every hour on the hour for your news!

[Gina1976]

Amanda and pinkboots- Can't wait to hear your BETA #'s. Good luck!

Amanda- Thanks. I've learned so much on these boards waiting for my turn.

[leorira11]

Julia - oy! I always mess up on time change night -- I end up at work either an hour early or an hour late. I like it better in the USA, when time change is NOT a work night

Amanda - I'm not a big drinker - I wish I was! I hate getting drunk, even a little tipsy. D will have a beer when he is trying to relax, but it doesn't help me the same way. But I just love the way Bailey's in hot chocolate tastes! Another great mix - chocolate liquor in mint tea - yummm & great for a sore throat. Keep up the PMA! You are getting your BFP today!

Jayne - I'm so sorry that you lost your daughter. I lost my first twins (a boy and a girl, who we never named) after pPROM (preterm premature rupture of membranes -- baby a's water broke). They were born alive, but too young even for the NICU. I lost my boys after PTL - I felt a little "off" and went to the doctor to find I was in full-blown labor. They did really well the first few days in the NICU, but then things went downhill. I wanted to try the progesterone injections but I was told they don't help in twin pregnancies. For my next pregnancy, I'm doing the injections and getting a preventative cerclage. ---- I really hope you are wrong and that this cycle did worked, but I know how sometimes just the thought of a failed cycle is overwhelming.

Bodie - thanks. It's nice to feel appreciated and supported. A little crazy how *little* of that I get in my real life.

Christy - Kudos on sleeping until 11am! When I'm so accustomed to waking up for work, I wake up early on weekends too no matter how late I stay up. I really hope this week brings a whole new chapter to your life...

Rosie - all 8 are still going? That's great! I hope you go for a 5 day transfer - with 8 embryos, you'll likely have one to transfer. Are you going to transfer 2?

Ninde - new haircuts always make me feel better. I hope you like it! Happy Birthday!

Neffi - I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA - went to college in NYC - and then moved to Jerusalem Israel just over 4 years ago. Prety wild, no? I hope the Viagra works! (and that no one spies on your bathroom medicine cabinet and thinks your husband is the one using it! Awful story - but when my parents split up, my dad moved into my grandparents house temporarily because they are snowbirds and were in Florida for the winter. Anyway - I found Viagra in the medicine cabinet while I was looking for Tylenol - and I didn't know who it was for -- my 80+ grandfather or my 40yo dad who was in the middle of a divorce! I still don't know!)

Blessed - I usually got my BFPs at 12"dpo" - so 9dp3dt or 7dp5dt --- good luck and let us know!

Kala - I hope AF comes on Friday! I'll be AF dancing for you! I'm also so worried my embryo won't thaw

Kiminish - yay! Triggering is the best - because it means no more SnS and very few more injections! Good luck tomorrow!

Maria - I hope your beta is zero today.... this wait is so hard...

Jen - one hour shouldn't make a difference at all with the PIO, don't worry! I've had bad cramps with all my cycles (BFN and BFP) so I'm hoping it's just nothing!

AFM - disappointment from all angles...

Adoption meeting yesterday was awful -- The wait for a healthy baby (ie, no fetal alcohol syndrome, no Down's, no cerebal palsey, no addiction/withdrawal, not HIV positive) is 7 years. We filed our paperwork last year, but never followed up because I got pregnant with the boys. So this was our follow up - to ask what to do next. Now, she told us to just wait and call her in 5 years (ie 6 years into the wait) and then start the process. WTF? <sigh> She asked if we really want to wait another 6 years. What choice do we have? We might as well be on this waiting list. I mentioned that maybe we'll have a baby and then in 6 years adopt a second. She dropped a huge bombshell on us -- apparently, this 7 year waiting list is for your FIRST baby only. If you want to adopt a second child (no matter if the first is biological or adopted) that is a DIFFERENT 7-10 year waiting list that you can only apply to once you have a first child. ARRRGGHGHHHHHH!

Of course, she said the most AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL things to us -- "You're so young, why are you so stressed about this?" "Just relax and it'll happen. If you relax, you'll get pregnant and carry to term." "I *know* you'll have a baby." "Maybe if you relax, you'll get pregnant even without the IVF." "My daughter is your age and she isn't even *thinking* about kids. What's the rush?" GRRRRR. I ran out, crying.

I was hoping adoption would be a real option and would let us give up on the IVF -- but it's really not. I'm so angry.

Hopefully the 'foster-to-adopt' program will work better for us. Unfortunately, our case work left the organization and passed her files to a different case worker.... who doesn't answer her phone or return her messages. I've called every day for a week and I'm still waiting to hear from her....

SnS this morning was a bit better, but not great. My lining is a 7. They like to see a 10. So I was told that I'll probably need to continue for a week and then come back (depends on my blood work and what the doctor says). I really really really pushed to come back on Thursday for another SnS. Remember, it takes 5 days of progesterone until my transfer -- I'd love to start that soon. Because my clinic is closed Fri and Sat, I can only start the progesterone on Tues, Wed, or Thurs, so I'd really rather NOT wait another week and a half to start the progesterone. Hopefully, they'll let me come back on Thursday (CD 14) and the lining will be thick enough to start the progesterone.

Ughhhhh..... sometimes I hate my life.

[Gina1976]

Leora- I'm sorry it didn't go well. I cannot believe the waiting list is so long! I believe you said you only have 1 or 2 places you can adopt from? There are so many children that need homes it's sad there are so little options! The things some people say make me speechless! Even though people try and help I HATE the whole, it will happen and just relax. Don't think about it so much....UGH! How do you stop thinking about the one thing you want MOST!

[leorira11]

Gina - yeah - unfortunately, since this is such a small country and there are so few babies to adopt, all adoptions go through the government offices, so this is the only way to adopt domestically. We can still foster-to-adopt and do international adoption. For now, we'll focus on the IVF and the foster-to-adopt.

AFM - got the call from the clinic -- I'm supposed to up my dosage to 4 Estrofem pills per day (hmm... should I keep my secret dose and up to 5/day?) and come back next week. I asked if I can come back on Thursday instead. I got an answer of "ok, if you really want to, but it probably won't help". I'm too anxious! I'm going back on Thursday!

[Ninde]

Hello ladies

Neffi: Wow, thats expensive!! I hadn't heard of viagra for that purpose. I hope you don't get the headaches that men complain of when they take it! Has your RE mentioned anything like that?

Blessed: It was a lovely spa day! I thoroughly enjoyed it, I had a full body massage, indian head massage, facial, manicure and pedicure and eye lash tint. Really great. I'm prayting for that BFP with you When is your beta? Oh thats hilarious that your dh is limiting your POAS

Kala: Thanks for the dance - what type of dance is it and I'll start doing it too!!! Your dd sounds just lovely!

Sunshine: Thank you so much - what a lovely offer Have you actually finished your turkey yet or will you be offering turkey sandwiches and soup to people on the street?! I laughed so much when you said you asked your dh to massage them in the parking lot! Isn't it unbelievable what we put ourselves through?!!!!!!! Your beta is Thur isn't it?

Kiminsh: Now thats brilliant that trigger dance worked. I would ask you to af dance for me but you need to stay still for your er!

Maria: How are you doing? I can't believe you stay so on top of the roll call. Its amazing.

JenMink: I wasn't having twins but I definately had some cramping so hopefully thats a good sign for you. Can't wait to hear your positive beta result

Amanda: How are you doing?

Pinkboots: All ok?

Leorira: 7 years - why the hell does it take that long to start the process? Ours normally take 6 but the process gets started in year one and then its all about checks and our incredibly slow health service and of course countries keep opening and closing (there are no Irish babies for domestic adoption) and that causes horrific delays. But what I don't understand is that you seem to go onto a list for 6 years but then it all happens in the 7th year? Thats bananas. And what a stupid stupid case worker to speak with you like that. How dare she assume that all you have to do is just relax - because of course you would never have thought of that would you?! Did she even hear about your losses? Oh I'm so angry to hear all that. How are you today and apologies if thats a silly question.

Afm: amaxingly beautiful day today. -2 when I got up so cold but just the bluest sky.

Talk to you all later

Patricia

[Julia73]

Leora- wait is it leora or leorira? For some reason I thought leorira was your sn. Anyway, I digress. That waiting time is insane!!! Wtf exactly! I guess there's a reason for everything but dang! I bet you get your bfp before you ever have to wait like that! With our time change we did the pio a half an hour late and another half an hour late tonight to get us back on track. Dh goes to detroit tomorrow night and I'll be at his mommas, his sister is coming over to do my shot for me.. Idk how I feel abut that lol.

Laura N- you out there girl?

Sunshine- I just love your posts! I really wanna come get a turkey sandwich! My mom used to make one with cranberry sauce, hellmans, salt n pepper, and mini gherkins. So good!

We- praying that your headaches alleviate! I know that pain is miserable, plus on top of all you are going thru.

So many ladies going for beta this week! I'm so about to go to the dollar store and get ahpt on the sly. DH is still deadset against poas. I'm getting desperate! I don't go for beta until the 14th. Omg I'm about to come unwrapped. Not really having any signs that I can discern. Boobs still hurt and feel heavier to me. I'm sleepy a lot more lately.
Does anyone think the brand of test matters? And it must be done with the first urine of the morning right? I'm about to call Ms. Freakin Cleo and get a psychic reading! Just kidding but this 2ww thing is the PITS. Also, if my et was 11/1 then I am 6dp 3dt? I'm so confused.

Praying for all of you here. You guys are constantly in my thoughts.

[Gina1976]

LOL you ladies are too funny and I LOVE it! It makes my day!

I'm sitting here impatiently waiting to hear BETA #'s from you ladies getting them today. It will be a long wait since I'm 6 hrs ahead of y'all. UGH!

[Alwaysangel]

I hope everyone is well, I have been Mia for a while....
