WOW you ladies have been busy today. That is awesome :o !

Easley
- Glad to hear you are doing so well!! Can't wait to hear about your U/S on Thursday :wink:.

LongtimerIVF - That is awesome!!! Twins!!! How exciting, great heartbeats. Glad that you are not having many symptoms.

WeHaveHope - I will be stalking for your beta numbers tomorrow. I am hanging in there. Only one more day to go. I am starting to get nervous, but I just keep praying and that helps to keep me calm.

Lyd10 - Glad to hear that you are hanging in there. I hope that you have found some time for yourself. I know what you mean about symptoms, I have decided not to put much stock in them, but that is not easy.

Ninde - How are you feeling? I am a nurse as well, so just ask if you need anything.

Lauren - Sending you wishful thoughts and prayers and hoping that your last week flies by!

Tina - Yup, I have grown to hate the Prometrium inserts. I have been having cramping from the Prometrium and yesterday I starting having low back pain. 8/12 will be here before you know it!!

Anton - Thanks for the well wishes. I will be stalking tomorrow to see your BFP!! Try to stay positive. I know when we get this close it is so hard to start to have negative thoughts, especially after having BFN in the past. But please hang in there with positive thoughts and keep your faith. I will keep you in my prayers.

Wishing - OMG!!! That is an awesome beta, I am so excited for you, God is definitely so good!

AFM - Slept most of today, I had horrible insomnia the night before so I have felt crummy all day. I have also had horrible indigestion, I had that last cycle so I am pretty sure it was from the Progesterone. Only 2 more days until my Beta!!! I am starting to get nervous ... tempted to POAS, but I know much better.

Hi Everyone!
I feel like I've been away too long. Some new "faces" on the board that I definately want to get to know along with several pages to read updates, this board moves fast!

Anton and Fruit: You both are in my thoughts and I pray this week many new doors will open. As my doctor told me, this takes so much perseverence but as long as we keep on fighting this battle we WILL become mothers, so we must keep the faith. In my heart I know it's going to happen!

WeHaveHope: lol you missed me on your last post but we can understand IPhones are not easy busy lady. Enjoy every moment and I know hearing those heartbeat(s) will be music to your and dh's ears. Glad you are staying over here with us for a little longer. I also appreciate all our former cycle buddies checking in with us, please stalk away. :D

longtimeivf: I'm still reading updates, but am gathering you deserve two rounds of congratulations! Yay for twins!!!

Margi: Congratulations on your beans, one of each flavor, how exciting. Btw how does one decorate a nursery for boy and girl? One wall for him and the other wall for her, that would be fun creating the palates though! For me it would have to be pink/brown, blue/brown combo!

Wishingandhoping: Let us know what the doctor says about increasing your progesterone. I pray the next nine months will be home free with a healthy pregnancy. :D

AFM: Had the most fun visiting family/old friends in AL and GA. My MIL was the coolest about my meds. She ask me general questions such as how often do I visit the clinic. I ended up telling her everything to the point the guys had to leave the room. :lol: The next day as I was packing everything up to go home, she helped me in the kitchen with my meds, I had this tiny lunchbox cooler trying to get everything to fit- that was in her frig. We had to reorganize to get the 3 ice packs in... She laughed and said it looks like you are getting practice with the diaper bag! :D Anyway we left their house rather late and had to make a stop at Wal-Mart on our way home for the injection. It was the most awkward laying in the backseat of dh's truck and I know passerbys were wondering what are those two doing, is she ok. Got home at Midnight and this monring had to leave for the clinic before 8am. Appointment went over good! We have 7 follicles on the left with 6 on the right (didn't get measurements), but they reduced my follistim to 175 tonight b/c I was responding too well she said, ESTROGEN was 25 last Thurs and today (Monday) it's now at 319! Where should the number really be I wonder on cycle day 6? I go back in on Wed. for the next sNs! :D Anyway speaking of shots, it's about that time! :mrgreen: Goodnight my friends, Sweet Dreams!

Wishing-how are you doing today? After reading you posts in reference to your progesterone level I immediately called my RE this morning after going in for my 2nd Beta. I was concerned because my progesterone level last week was 7.16
My RE said that vaginal progesterone is not absorbed by the blood and not picked up by the blood test like the injectable progesterone. He said that a progesterone level of 7.16 was very good and actualy higher than he would have expected because the vaginal cream is absorbed directly into the vagina. So he said not to worry in this case. He said that if this were a "regular" pregnancy then he would be but not in this case. Just thought I would let you know. I hope this helps.

I'll keep you guys posted on my 2nd Beta level when I get the call. Praying for a good strong number.

Sending all of you lots of love and peace in your hearts today,

Wehavehope &fvRogers: thanks so much for your offer of help. I have my baseline tomorrow so I'm presuming they will tell me to start the injections then. When does progesterone usually start?

Wehavehope: good luck with your second beta!

Fruit: I'm so very sorry.

LongtimerIVF: Congratulations on twins - I'm an identical twin myself so I love to hear of them!

Lyd10, I'm glad you overslept! You must have needed it! It must be really hard when you have been through symptoms and no symptoms but I'm sending you lots of gentle, warm energy.

Anton: how are you doing?!

Tina: wishing you feel better soon and that the 12th comes really quickly :)

Felicia: how is the indigestion and cramps?

AFM (I'm finally getting a handle on these abreviations!!), quite nervous about the scan but thats only because I don't know what to expect and I'm going to bring in some injections and ask them to show me how to use them and hope they don't say no! My husband has Multiple Sclerosis and injects every day so at least we have some expertise of that - but somehow it feels different because its me! Pelvis and hip really acting up today, driving doesn't agree with it at all but my Osteo appointment is on Thursday morning and that will sort me out. I'm just trying not to take pain killers because I don't know how they will interact with the spray but I may have to give in this afternoon.

Right, better go and do some more work!

Love and Light

Hi everyone,

BFN again...it s a bummer this road we are in. I am starting to feel scared that what IF it’s never going to happen for us. I know you will say that I shouldn’t feel this way and blah blah blah but you girls have been there where I am now, today, on a day like this, the BFN phone call day, and I am sure that you felt the exact same way that I am feeling right now. :( Disappointment, frustration and bitter with God...I am only human and I know it’s normal to feel this way and still...I am tired of the BFN’s! I want to be baby happy for a change! I want to make my DH a dad! I want to make him happy!....he told me SO many times today that he is SORRY...I told him he shouldn’t be! I don’t want him to feel sorry for himself and feel bad that he is drugging me with him in this infertility hell!! I am with him till the end! Period! Case closed!...God! this is the 7th failed attempt for us to have a baby and it feels SO surreal!! I still can’t believe that this is happening to us! :( All that effort, all these money, all this love fro each other, the agony, that extra attention, the wanting to have a baby SO much, our huge will to have a baby and still NO baby!...I hate the beta day!!! :( Maybe I should skip it next time and just wait for AF to come instead of going for blood test to find out if WE DID IT! ...I was prepared this time for the BFN, I told you about my instinct the other day...but still, Hope dies last! And so I left that hope hanging in the air and I thought that maybe, just maybe my stupid instinct will prove me wrong this time. Oh, well :( ...I guess I am not going to be a regular on this board for a while and maybe join the fall board...I don’t even know if there is one!...I’ll make one if not and I hope that each and every one of you girls get your BFP’s and no one gets to join me on that board!!! That I wish!!!! :wink: Because there is no better thing than to hear that your cycle buddies DID IT! That means that there is still hope for me! Miracles happen every day girls! And one day SOON I am going to get mine!!! I know I will! :) I just wish i knew when! :roll: ... So dont feel sorry for me girls! :wink: I will survive again and agian if i have to...

Thank you ALL for your support and affection during this IVF journey!! You girls are the best travel buddies!! We are all here for each other for the good and the bad times....especially for the bad times. I will keep stalking you and cheer you for your BFP’s ! I will also stalk my PAT girlfriends for their constant support through this and I can’t wait to congratulate them on their newborns when time comes! Special thanks to my PAT cheerleaders Margi, Rio, Lou, Leora, Deftonesmo, Rypell and I am sure I am forgetting a lot now!! Sorry! my mind stopped working!!! :( I just thank you all girls for being here for me!!! You girls are the best and I am so happy to have met you through this site!! God bless you all!!

Even though tears running through my eyes as I write this, I couldn’t not to congratulate my dear friend
Longtimerivf- BRAVO x2!!!!! Congratulations on the twins honey!!!! I am SO happy for you!!! :D I can only imagine how excited you and your DH must be!!! You deserve it!!! so enjoy it!!

and Fruit honey, I am SO sorry for your BFN my friend! It sucks! I know! Be strong and have faith and it will happen next time! Next time we are getting our BFP’s!! I know we will! Trust me!!! :wink: Good luck in your journey and I guess I will see you on the fall board...don’t lose faith to something you want so badly to happen! Because it will!!! So keep up that PMA of yours!!!

Baby dust to us all!! Image

Love you all and bye bye for now...
