Hi ladies

Lauren319: that sounds very much like Implantation bleeding. How ae you doing? I know relaxation is probably out of the question but can you rest?

Anna: how are you doing?

Nicole: I think you might call it superfine sugar in the states? That's lousy about your headache, is it any better? I think with your ankle you should have a physio look at it.

Leora: I think that's awful people should say that to you.- as if you would ever forget the boys!!! I do worry abit about your body though - but that is categoricaaly not a judgement.

Hopethisworks: I hope the scan went well

Kynlee: wow you are busy!!! Have a great weekend

Afm: im having an early night because im up at 230am to join 5000 people to do a 5km walk to raise awareness of suicide. Its called from darkness into light and starts at 4am and finishes as the dawn breaks. Unfortunately my throat has started to act up again which im not thrilled about :(

Patricia, lots of fluids, reduce any caffeine, and rest your voice as much as you can. Hope you feel better soon. Your walk sounds like a very powerful event.

As for my ankle, I saw physio back when I sprained it. I need to make sure I stretch it a lot. Sprains often leave one with tight muscles and scar tissue. Blah.

Thought I was going to get out of school early but went to shut down my laptop and got hit with 18 updates. So now I wait. Can't leave till it is done.

Ninde - I am doing (or trying) to do a "Natural" FET cycle. I did the Biopsy then started Lupron and no AF. Our plans were to do the transfer the week of May 21st . But now it looks like it might be pushed back a week.

Anna- Thank you so much for your post. You calmed my nerves for the night!!

Leora - I was reading your post and then I got the call with today's results..

So my Ultrasound showed my lining "thick" and my estrogen was high . So I am guessing this isn't good for where they want me?
I need to increase my Lupron to twice a day (same amount of 20) . She said well I think you might be getting a period. I wish I asked to speak to my doctor and not his nurse. Usually the doctor calls. I go back on Monday for another blood test & Ultrasound.. good thing they gave me more lupron at my appt today so I just shot up in my office..
Good Luck to ALL!

Girls sorry for the late update things are great :) We saw the baby and it measures at 8wks 2 days (3 days ahead) heartbeat of 168. It actually is starting to look like a baby now...we say a distinct head, body and little arms :) It was interesting that my RE is still running betas with my ultrasounds so the bata today is 52461...lol My prog is down to 11 which they say is fine but want me to stay on crinone just in case. Otherwise I am violently sick with morning sickness. The Zofran is helping some but still pretty sick

Lauren how is the spotting

Leora I am so glad you feel at peace

Hope how was the ultrasound

Cyn I am so sorry that the lining is thick...did they say when you can expect a period?

Sorry gotta run but I am thinking of you all and sending you girls lots of positive energy and baby dust

So emotionally tired right now but promise personals when I get out of the funk. Store visit went over decent, boss pulled me over to the side and said the DM still hasn't gotten approval from the RM but she feels good about the promotion and will go ahead and change my rate of pay for May's paycheck. I was like that is weird, was told DM was coming and no interview but my boss is changing my pay. lol I'm not complaining but it's not what I expected as corporate minded as my boss normally is. That was yesterday but today has been very emotional. Sometime back I told dh I'm off this Sunday and thought since we don't go to church regularly it would be nice to go. He said you don't want to go this Sunday, it took a minute for it to register with me that this Sunday is Mother's Day and from that moment on I've been struggling. Yes Leora, that pregnant co-worker's story keeps getting better all the time. Today she told me her boyfriend's older brother (who's getting a divorce) will be moving in with them to help pay the rent for a 2 bedroom house. I thought well it's better then a one bedroom apt but still that's not enough room for 3 people plus a baby. She said her baby is due in December as she stood out on the salesfloor drinking her liter of water and the guy will be moving in October just giving them time to get the place and have everything ready. Another manager gave her permission to have water out on the salesfloor to encourage her to drink it, but it bothered me...I drove home thinking why God does it get to be so easy for some and the others struggle so much!!!!! I was so furious and cried all the way home until I finally called a friend to talk to. Still I don't know if my good friend could remotely understand how I was feeling since she has a 9 yr old daughter and will get to celebrate Mother's Day with her idk but I'm wishing my mom was here right now... mentally emotionally not much I can say right now except please let the next Mother's Day be one we all can celebrate together!

Hopethisworks- BIG HUGE ENORMOUS CONGRATS!!!!!!

Sunshine- I am sorry you are having just a difficult time. I hope you feel better emoitonal today.

AFM: I did my Ovidrel shot 250 IU on Sunday April 30th, so it should be out of my system right?? I took a test last night it was postive but faint & it was there within the 3 min window. My beta is Wednesday, but I think I will POAS again today when I wake up. What do ya'll think? Could it be true? I am sorry for the lack of personals, but night shift really kicks my butt. I would love some thoughts on the postive test :)

Hopethis works Huge congrats on the 2 heartbeats how exciting :)

Amanda I think you are looking at a bfp...my ovedril shots were always out of my system in 7 days but just to be sure POAS again and see if it is getting darker. So excited for you


Sunshine I am so sorry you feel so down but I can totally understand. I still cringe when a friend says to me that she is pregnant and that "they weren't even trying" I actually bit one of my friends head off for that phrase because most of my friends know that Paul took us 3 years and 3 months of non-stop trying. Most people don't understand how much that really hurts to see everyone around you pregnant and you still trying and trying. When we did IVF in 2010 ( after we refinanced our house to get the money!!!) the day of my ER my 17 year old sister came to my house in tears with her boyfriend because she "accidentally got pregnant" Grrrrr DH and I had to spend all evening trying to calm her and her idiot boyfriend because they kept using words like "nightmare" and ruined life to describe the pregnancy. In the end I ended up in beta hell from that IVF and all awhile had to help plan my sister's "shotgun wedding" to her idiot boyfriend. I constantly asked God why he gave a baby to such an irresponsible, unprepared child and not me. It was so rough so I understand. No one in my family at the time could even take a moment to understand how difficult it was for DH and me to watch someone so close to us not even want a baby and get one after we spent to much time and energy and tears only to get nothing

Honey please feel free to vent anytime life is unfair sometimes but I have long stopped trying to understand God's plan I just submit to his will and know that he will do what is best for me even when it does not feel like it. Watching my sister not take care of my niece well makes me feel like I am so much better of a mommy for Paul because I had waited so long for him and I honestly pray that next Mother's day you have your miracle baby in your arms. Hugs

Lauren 319 I am so excited for you I am pretty sure you are gonna get an awesome bfp tomorrow. If the spotting stopped it was definitely implantation :D That is what happened to me this pregnancy..I had spotting that went away but I thought it was just a light period...well it wasn't. Good luck tomorrow can't wait to hear your results :)

AFM nothing new. Zofran is giving me terrible constipation (sorry tmi) even with stool softeners so I am gonna try not to take it today even though I am very very sick. ugh not sure what else to do. We are getting Paul christened tomorrow

Hopethisworks- Congrats!!! How exciting!!

Amanda- OOO! Sounds good!

Christy- (((HUGS))) You and your DH have had so much on your shoulder's. Praying that it will lift soon.

Lauren- Glad you are holding on!!



AFM- Goodness my emotions have been terrible lately! They have lifted some since I've finally gotten better other than the slight cough. Of course AF made a surprise appearance. No warning and I usually get a LITTLE one lol. I should have known anyway because whenever a special day is coming, she comes. That's okay though.

Under 190 days....barely but still under! :) Gotta get creative and make some kind of countdown. Hopefully his orders are in Monday and we can go get our free plan tickets and then I'll know exactly! Cross your fingers it is BEFORE Thanksgiving!
