I might head over to April since my transfer is April 3. So far so good and I'm hoping for success. However I am being realistic and know the odds of a frozen transfer. Currently I am taking every pill imaginable and it's hard to keep them straight. . . :shock:

I believe I will be testing around April 13 which is Friday the 13th. I'm not supersticious, but I do find it funny that my first transfer was on a Friday the 13th and now I will be testing on Friday the 13th.

Looks like things are picking up on the board and Nicki congrats on getting over the shot fear. What an accomplishment. . .really!

Sonya, I know I know I'm a very naughty girl - don't tell my mum!

Good luck with embies! Remember you only need one two is bonus!

Nimble Laughed at poo question. I was so worried about pesseries couldn't put them up front as had problem with cistitis? and when I put them up back I was too scared to poo for hours. Not now though clinic assured me they only take 20 mins to dissolve.

Nerms, Did it again. It worked. I like this game xxx

Nicky bought a fruit drink thats full of soya and actually tastes really nice. Probably can't tell you name on here but it was with all the fresh fruit juice, just thought it was an extra way to boost your protein every day. x

Kandice I am so sorry to hear what you had to go through but completely understand your decision and how you are feeling too.

I know this is slightly different but when they told me that my pg was no longer viable (h/beat had gone) they asked whether I wanted to wait for nature or go for a d/c - i choose to go through a d/c as i just needed closure (like you this had gone on for a few weeks) and once I had that I felt that I was able to move on.

What you had done is not the same as an abortion - the method may be similiar but this is not something you wanted or choose to have so try and not to think about the procedure as being the same as one.

As you say, physically you are fine but emotionally, it will probably take you awhile to get over it. You really need to take time out and deal with your loss and then start getting strong for your future plans.

Parents sometimes do not know how to deal with this, I had my MIL crying down the phone which didn't help one bit - hello but aren't I the one who lost my baby !! It was nice that your MIL came with you for support.

How is your DH taking it?

I hope that the beta comes back 0, you've had so much to deal with this week, it would be just so unfair if this turned into an etopic.

Sending you big big hugs - I've also 'voted' for you on the wish site too

take care

Hey everyone, the lab just called had good news to report. Of the 11 eggs retreived 8 were mature. Of those 7 have fertilized and growing according to schedule. I will get my next update on Sunday and will then be told when the transfer time is on Monday. Of course the waiting is driving me crazy!! Sometimes I think that is the hardest part of this IVF game. The shots are simple compared to keep my PMA and not driving myself and dh crazy with worry. I know 7 is a good number but compared to how many embies I had to work with last time it seems so few. But it's quality not quantity right.

Sonya, Have you heard any further updates on your embies? I am thinking you will get another report tomorrow?

Nimble, the Poo question was great. I love how we are more comfortable asking a question like that here than to our doctors. It just shows how supportive everyone on this board really is. How is everyhting going for you now?

Kandice, Oh sweetie I wish I had the words to make you feel better right now! When I had my m/c they said if my body did not resolve it naturally I would have to have a d&c. That broke my heart and was to hard to face the truth, but on the other hand I had to realize that if that pregnancy did go full term there would be many problems with the baby. Although I would have loved that child regardless I want my child to have the best chance at a healthy life as possible. Sometimes I have to remember that God has a plan and a reason for everything. Now if you are like I was you are screaming" Well I wish he would let me in on his plan so that this would not hurt so much". I think almost everyone who has had a m/c (which is what you had) will say that we blamed ourselves but the truth is it is not your fault. To your Dad I just say Thanks you big jerk, I know he probably did not mean it the way it sounded but still you are in enough pain without his insensitive remark! I wish you and dh all the love and comfort in the world! Please try and believe that you did nothing wrong, it is not your fault.
(((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))!!!!!

Smattison, Rub that belly and give it lots of love!!

Sher8, Good luck with your transfer and even though it is in April and you may move over to that thread let us know how you are doing!!

Melly, WOO HOO bring on the shots! Good Luck and keep us updated on how you are doing!

To anyone I missed I hope eveything is going wonderful! :D

Nimble-LOL not trying to put you guys off kids just me…LOL hard time at the moment…I wish. He is 17 and very strong willed. He lives with his father about an hour from me. I see him as much as I can. My little boys see there father only on weekends. My oldest son’s name is Kurtis and he is having a really hard year. He is failing school…on purpose, he skips. He was in honors classes last year and made A‘s and B’s. He is also partying way to much. My ex does not have any control over him and lets him do whatever he wants. About a month ago he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and some 16 year old kid swung a beer bottle at him and caught the side of his face, 12 stitches. As for knowing what I am going through…well we told them all the 1st time and they were all so disappointed that we have elected not to make a big deal out of it this time so no he does not know right now.

Kandice-Well what to say…girl you have been put through the ringer. I am so sorry you had to go through this. No you did NOT HAVE AN ABORTION!!!! You did the right thing and you will be OK. You are one step closer to having a baby now, one you can hold. Hang in there and I will be praying for you and your DH!!!

Jill-Today I caught myself rubbing my belly again and I love it!!!! Everyone should try it!

Melly/Sher8-There are several of us that post on both threads!!! I post in April as well!

As for me had another US and B/W today. They said that I will not be a day early it will stay Monday! My follies are between 16-20mm but more at the 16 mark so they want to give them one more day to catch up. My estrogen level was 2250 and they say that is really good. So I will see the doc in the morning again and trigger tomorrow night at 8p. I am getting so excited now!!!

Everyone I missed sorry but I hope you are all doing well. I will be back later tonight. I have to take the boys to their dad’s.

Kandice, I just wanted to say that I am really sorry for the really difficult time you have had. Don't blame yourself for what has happened you have done the best you could. I can relate a little to the dumb things people say when we are going through all of this. I called my mother after I found out about my BFN but she is too busy with her business to talk to me, said she would call the next evening and hasn't since. Today my MIL told me I should try again right away and I was explaining to her I think my body needs to recuperate. I was mad that other people are trying to tell me what to do. I've had a really stressful week at school, the kids have been very disrespectful. Yesterday I had one tell me she was going to punch me in the face, then another tell me to shut up, and then to top it off at the end of the day one called me an awful name.
I'm going to go in to talk to my doc but does anyone know how long you should wait in between cycles? I was thinking I should wait until the summer when I don't have to work.
I hope everyone here is doing well with their cycles and lots more BFP's coming! :D :D :D
