Kyn -woooohoooooo!!!

[kynlee]

Leora- Thank you for making me feel better about the high beta # I was getting worried lol cause I dont know what is really good or really bad... anyways I have my next beta Monday and then I dont know what is next this is all new to me We are now two pregnant Mama's Thanks for the ticker info I am going to try it now

[annashope]

Kynlee yay!!!! huge congrats! 143 is a great number! You really can't tell how many by betas so don't stress yourself. My Paul was a very high beta of 247 at 14d nd he was very much a singleton and this pregnancy my beta was 121 and again a singleton so you never know. Anyways huge congrats. If you go on lillypie.com it will give you instructions on how to set up your ticker

Leora you poor thing feeling sick already!!! wow I never have morning sickness before my beta reaches like 5000 or so, my heart goes out to ya but I am betting that this is the real symptoms here honey and you are on your way to a great ultrasound

[tortillachip]

Congrats Kynlee!!!! Woohoo!! I'm so happy for you! 143 is a great BETA and sounds just right. Everyone's body is different...I've seen some women with HIGH betas have singletons and some women with lower than 100 have twins or triplets! When I had my BETA with my daughter it was 207. Are you afraid you may be carrying twins or more in there? We transferred 4 embies but because I'm older the doc said statistically it would be a less than 10 percent chence for me to get pregnant with twins and even less with triplets.

Wahooo Kynlee and thanks for texting me today, but I was surprised you didn't call instead of texting me lol it would of been hard to control this excitement!!! Anyway I am so thrilled for you, Monday can't come quick enough and I especially can't wait to find out how many implanted. I really hope you get twins, oh we would be over the moon for that! So what are your plans on telling the family or are you still on the phone as I type this? lol I am so happy for you! You give me sooo much hope and I will continue praying, I know our God has EVERYTHING in His precious hands!
Enjoy the pregnancy girl this is your time!

Kynlee: CONGRATULATIONS!!! WOOHOO! I am so happy for you! Enjoy the glow!

LaureN- What you wrote to me was so true, my judgment for my next steps are cloudy because this is what I want but at the same time I have to think about dh's situation. I think dh would go either way but it's easy to ask yourself: When is the time ever going to be right? grrrr then I blame this on my weight and not eatting right it's ridiculous because I procrasinate and now I'm about to turn 36. I'm thinking have I really given this all I've got? What can I do to make this happen yet I continue delaying the process because deep down I'm scared of it not working again, hence why we signed up for the IVF Attain Program this time. I need to get passed some issues but my biggest fear is still what if it doesn't work and dh then tells me adoption isn't guaranteed either, oh he makes me mad sometimes! But I don't want to go through another Christmas without a baby on the way, it's so depressing. So we need to get off my butt and make something happen. It's certainly not going to with all this procrastinating and letting circumstances of dh's job get in the way. We'll figure it out right, most people do but I can't seem to let go of uncertainty. It's crazy that I'm more worried about that then over a stupid job. Deep down I know it's not always guaranteed on the first try, maybe my peace of mind is shot... so when do we ever stop worrying?

Leora- Yes job searching sucks. Besides that dh told me if I purchase the stroller we HAVE to start treatment in Aug., he said you can't have the accessories without the product. I said well maybe I should go ahead and decorate the nursery while I'm at it, he probably thinks I completely lost it? With my b-day, I'm thinking another day older- another year deeper in debt, might as well take the biggest risk of my life and go through the process? I really can't go on like this forever and ever.

Kyn- Congrats

More personals tomorrow... Today has been super crazy and long....

Triggering tonight ....ER on Sunday Friday ET ( assuming all is will to do pgd)

[WeHaveHope]

Kynle-OMG, i am so happy for you. That is such a great Beta. Enjoy this moment to the fullest. Congratulations!!! I can't wait to hear about your next Beta and then your u/s. Yay...

Ninde-how are you feeling today. You are getting really close now to your next cycle. Praying that this us the one for you. I am very hopeful that it will be.

Leora-congratulations again on a great second Beta. I can't wait to hear about the next one and then your u/s. I am just so thrilled for your and David. Woohoo...

Blue-praying that all the results come back good for you. How are you feeling?

Alwaysangel-congrats on triggering tonight. Praying for a smooth ER.

Lauren319-I'm so happy to see that everything is going smoothly for you. I am so excited for you and DH. Twins... That is absolutely wonderful. How are you feeling these days? Praying that all continues smoothly.

Sunshine-I wish I could snap my fingers and make your whole situation go away. I pray that everything settles down soon and you can focus in your next steps. Sending a big hig and much strength tonight.

AFM-I'm pretty tired these days. I feel like I'm ready but know that the girls are not. I went to Target and bought some PJ pants and nursing tops to pack in my hospital bag just in case. I'm hoping to make it at least to 36 weeks but my body us telling me otherwise. I know I've missed many on the board and j sm so sorry for that. I am however praying for each and everyone of you each day. Praying that all of your dreams become a reality. Sending each of you much love, strength. And hope tonight.

Love,

Maria

congrats Kynlee! Your beta is fantastic!

Kay- I will be waiting impatiently for yours.

Madame- how are you? Waiting for yours too!

Leora- still feeling sick? Is it super hot there?

Ninde- how are you? How is the pooch? Cooking for you yet?

Maria- good to hear from you. Not too much longer and you will be holding your beautiful girls!

AFM- my MRI report looks good. My cervical lesion has reduced!! Woot woot! Nothing new has shown up. I have several herniated discs and only one is pushing into the spinal cord. It isn't enough to worry about yet, but should be monitored.

Leora- I've had the Clotting tests which came back fine. I've had lupus anticoagulant issues before, but the test has been neg the past few times. We will stick with baby aspirin instead of heparin for now.

Kay- I had a hysteroscopy several years back and had two hsg tests. I suppose if they see anything on the saline infused sonogram then we may do a hysteroscopy.

As for pgd/pgs, because I had the xxx abnormality with the twins loss, the doc says we can screen for any chromosome problems basically to see if my embryos are any good. It would be to prevent putting back bad ones and keep having m/c. I still don't know how I feel about it. I worry that we could discard good ones in error. I read that abnormal chromosomes are present in all embryos and it can be misleading because you only test a couple of cells.

I am thinking we could transfer the best one or two and then send the others for testing. That is of course if we get enough. Last time we had 5 go to blast.

I will stop bcp on the 24th, have suppression check on 26th, and start stimming on the 27th. Estimated retrieval day is August 7 with transfer following hopefully on day 5. I'll be stimming with follistim and mini hcg along with ganirelix instead of lupron.

Can't believe it is finally starting again!

[DandMe]

I had my FET, got early lines, then they faded. Then they came back, then they faded. My beta was 4.... I was in quite a funk for a while.. and avoiding the board... I am usually only a lurker since I don't have all that much time to keep up with personals. However... I do want to say a huge congrats to Leora and the other ladies with wonderful news. Big huge hugs and wonderful sticky baby dust to you!

We said we'd never do IVF in the first place, and then we did. Twice. Then we had our baby boy and we said we'd never do another cycle... just do the FET and see what happened. Then it failed. And so we are doing another fresh cycle. Sometimes I think I'm crazy - my AFC is great, FSH is 5 - no male factors.. just old. No time to mess around and 'see' if we get pregnant.

So I am in the middle of my cycle, waiting to go onto BC, ER and ET sometime in the first half of September.

[WeHaveHope]

Gina-so nice to hear from your. How are you doing?

Sonya-I am so sorry about your BFN. I am glad though that you haven't given up and that you are right back in trying again. Please know that I am here for you. Sending you a great big hug.

Julia-I am so happy everything went well with your u/s. I am so happy for you. Please keep me posted on your progress.

[kynlee]

Tortillachip- TY As for how many I think may have stuck, I dont know but If I could have a healthy twin pregnancy I would love that I always wanted a big family and thought when I got on this journey it wouldnt happen, but maybe now its possible... Yesterday I really was waiting on the negative phone call so believe my Shock I had to have her repeat herself lol

Sunshine- Lol Sorry Girl I wanted to call but I was at work and couldnt wait to tell you so my only option was text so that my boss didnt hear or complain if I was on my cell... I will call you this week to tell you my shocking feeling... Our God is awesome
