yay unexplained! I'm so happy your mom is with you right now. My mom got her US visa recently approved...she's coming to visit later this year. I'm hoping she can be here when I have the bab(ies)...December? Most likely she'll come during the summer, I can't wait!

Doesn't your state observe "president's day"? ...that sucks!

Neffi- I noticed you on the other thread for Mar/Apr cycles. I might join you there soon.

Esperanza- my state celebrates Presidents Day, but obviously my university (which is state BTW) does not :( Are you going to join Mar/Apr thread as well?

And today is a big day for me, my AF is gone, FINALLY, on day 16!!! Guess what is on my mind now... :lol: I will have to send out my mom to my sister...

I'm really sorry Mrs. G :( I can see why you'd be bummed, but please, please, please don't loose hope. I am so sorry you're going through so much emotional pain and stress. Can you afford an accupuncture session or a massage? that may help AF come and if anything it will help you relax. What do you think?

These flowers are for you:

Aww that was so sweet! Thank you so much! I will have to give the cinnamon tea a shot, AF still has not shown. It's been 2 days since I took the last pill... :cry:

andnichole - CONGRATS!! Twins, what an amazing gift!!

I think I may call the dr tomorrow and ask them what they think about AF not showing. I am so totally absolutely bummed because tomorrow was my FET day and now its canceled until AF comes.... I could just cry and cry. Ive been looking forward to that day for almost 2 months and now I have to continue to wait.. As if we haven't waited long enough the past 3 going on 4 years now.... ::sigh::

Hey girls--


Mrs.G-- I am so sorry that AF has not shown up yet! It doesnt seem like your RE is giving enough info! I would start demanding some answers! Dont give up hope....it will work for you!

Unexplained- Cant wait to see ya on the March/April thread! Glad to hear that AF finally left!

Esperanza-- Are you going to come join us over at the march/april?? Hope so!

I am finally feeling better! Being sick for 8 days is long enough! Im glad the week is half over already. The closer to march the better! Okay ladies, have a nice day!

Sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday. This was my 6 week u/s picture from Saturday. You can't really see much. On the actual u/s screen you could see the little embies but the picture makes them look like little dash marks. My next appt. is this Friday for another u/s.

Hi friends!!!

Mrs. G--I am so sorry hun. I agree with Neffi. Put some pressure on you doc's office. What's going on? did you have a history of missed periods? In the other hand, who knows? maybe the babies don't want to come until December or January instead of October/November :wink: kids nowadays, they like to make their own decisions even before they are born!
Seriously, I feel for you and I'm sending you a big hug.

andnichole--yay! thanks for sharing

Neffi and Unexplained Ok, I think I was avoiding joining other threads...don't know why...maybe loyalty to this one? maybe low energy to start establishing new relationships? but now that you both mentioned it I might.

I just talked to my nurse. We are on for this cycle, just waiting for AF to come; she should be here sometime next week. She said the transfer will be about 19 days after that :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I told her that we are not transferring less than 2 embies this time; last time they talked us into transferring just one. We are putting our foot down this time. I also asked her about Assisted Hatching, she first said no because my embies are blasts, but when I insisted she said she would find out with the docs and let me know. Let's see. DH and I have to stop by the RE's office next week to sign the consent forms...yay! it's happening :wink: I've been doing visualizations every morning about my upcoming pregnancy, I'm determined to being 100% positive. This is happening for real now!
I can't wait to be like this...

Hugs to all,

andnichole - beautiful babies! Not only do we both love german shepherds, we share the same first name :D :D

esperanza - I agree with you, we transfered 4 excellent embies and got one little bean, you got to play your odds in this number game! Good luck!

Yeah I think your all right, Im going to have to call and just let them know how frustrated I am. This is ridiculous. Still no AF, i was having cramps earlier and nothing.. I dont understand what the issue is. Ive never missed a period before so I knew something was going on... Im so annoyed that this is delayed so much.. I was looking forward to it and now I have no idea when to expect it. Ugh... :(
