Good evening ladies!! Lesson learned-don't snooze on this board or you will miss a ton!

stlgirl, marya, and bei-My heart breaks for you. There is no easy way to go through any of this and then to get a BFN just seems so unbearable. You are in my thoughts and prayers :)

katie and sancap-PUPO and lovin' it! I'm so glad your transfers went well. Rest up and let those embies grow into your beautiful babies :)

j & c-got to be careful, I have had 3 confirmed H1N1 cases in my classroom and most schools in Olathe have record numbers of kids/teachers out. I'm just waiting to catch it! Don't worry about crying at the office-we go to the same place and I bawl everytime I'm there so your cry had to seem minor :) I'm glad you found someone to watch your kiddo for ER-I almost took work off to help you. I can't wait to hear how your embies are doing!

michele-I am praying for you and hope that it's only good news. We are here for you :)

shelby-BFP!!! yippee!!! hooray!!! I'm SO excited for you. It was the perfect gift :)

To all the BFP-yeah! We love the good news!

kala-YI on top of everything? We all that we have to go through you would think we could catch a break from those types of things. Enjoy the wedding :)

Thank you Shelby for putting me in the PUPO category-I "know" I'm technically there but I sure don't feel like it :( My silver lining is that I don't have any PIO shots-just prometrium pills. I am suppose to go for a BETA on 10/12. I already feel blah and crampy so... It has been hard to be positive but I'm trying to stay in the PMA zone. My mom has called me every night and told me she is praying for morning sickness. I would gladly take it!

I am thinking of you all-only best wishes and miracle prayers!

ladies...can you help me learn some new lingo again...what does this stuff mean? 7dp3dt I know it has something to do with the 2ww and days after transfer and such but can someone please explain for me? Thanks! Reason being...I'm already thinking about when I can POAS...lol!

J&C and Karling- I can't wait to hear your fert reports!!! grow embies grow!

mayra- thank you for sticking around with us and all the well wishes! Your time is soon, best wishes to you and your DH...he sounds amazing! Sometimes this stuff can be hard on relationships but othertimes I think we are stronger for it!

MLB GL for beta monday...hoping to see a nice and high number!!

Johannanita- congrats on your u/s yaaaaaaaay

I could see how you'd be dissapointed about the second little one, I probably would be too, but you must be in heaven about your little one. GL to you the rest of the way

kiwi- I love your new ticker- hopefully I'll be contacting you soon to put one up...wouldn't that be nice!

syanna- Hey girl, I know how you feel. This is my first IVF too and I am still lost at times. Your Dr. will monitor your follies and when they get to measuring around 17 or higher they will have you trigger (a shot that make you ovulate) then the ER is 36 hours after trigger shot. Then they fertilize them and depending upon your Dr's protocal you will either have a 2, 3, or 5 day transfer. Then you join the 2ww and pray they stick to your lining and you get a BFP! It's a roller coaster but these grls will help you through every moment of it! They are the best and I know I couldn't have gotten even this far without them. (((hugs to all)))

kiwi Are you sure your tickers right? I would think you would be further along. I thought you had to be like 4 weeks for your beta since you are technically 2 weeks PG when you have ET. I could be wrong.

It looks good!

sancap14 · Post by **sancap14** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 1:56 pm

Silly me, I forgot to say hi to rayofsunshine! I have the highest of hope for you hon, you will make it to BFP! Maybe you feel crampyy b/c your preggers! GL on 10/12..wait, that's my beta too! and maybe katie99's! That's going to be a busy day, lots of BFP's coming that day right!

CT_Michele · Post by **CT_Michele** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:05 pm

sancap- that would mean 7 days past a 3 day transfer. I started poas around then, maybe a tad earlier, but all negatives.

shelby- congrats on your official news, I am so happy for you!

MLB- so glad you saw a faint line..I am crossing everything for you.

Katie- so glad you are finally at this point. I will be praying hard for you.

To everyone else, I am reading and thinking of you all, but my mind is just jelly right now. I just don;t have the will to be on here posting. Today would have been my beta test had the office not been closed, and my strips have all been negative. I am tempted to break down and go get some cvs brand ones, since I am starting to question the strips, but there is just no need. I will no in 2 days regardless of what any stick or strip says. I will tell you one thing though, if I get a positive on Monday which is highly unlikely at this point, I will most likely never poas again. And of course I say this every time.

I am starting to think about what is next. My clinic is soooo expensive and they do not offer any shared risk options. I wonder how much of a discount they are going to offer when I tell them I have no choice but to look else where due to my finances. I really don;t want to leave them, but I can not see putting almost $15,000 into one try when I can get 6 tries for not much more someplace else.

I am having a lot of trouble dealing with all of this again. I have started telling some people it is not likely at this point, just to prepare people for bad news. I just can't bear having to tell everyone on Monday. I have so many people rooting for me, and they will all be so disappointed. Sorry to be such a downer girls, I am really hoping for that miracle come Monday.

sancap14 · Post by **sancap14** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:14 pm

Thanks CT-Michele- You still have a couple of days so please don't give up all hope yet. Of course I'll be praying for you this weekend in hopes of a high beta for you Monday. One way or another, everything works out. Again, GL to you and DH.

J&C · Post by **J&C** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:15 pm

We got a call first this morning (woke me up out of bed) from the lab saying that we have 7 fertilized.

I am so happy with this #, but I know it can go down tomorrow also. I can't wait until the call tomorrow. We won't know if we're doing a 3 or 5 day transfer until tomorrow. They tell you at the last minute. I'm also happy to report that I survived the PIO shot last night, and I'm not even sore this morning. Even though I hate needles, the shots have been somewhat easier this time around. At least, let's hope I still have that thought after weeks of PIO shots.

johannanita - It's so exciting seeing that sac on the u/s. I totally understand what you were saying about hoping for both, but then sort of relieved to only see one. I totally get it. Can't wait to hear your second report on 10/12.

malya - GREAT beta #. PMA!!!

MLB - Congrats on the faint line!!! All of you POASers are making me want to POAS before my beta!! I also have a friend doing IVF, in fact, she she definitely know by now, but I haven't heard from her yet. I'm wondering if she has negative news.

karling - YIPPEE on 12 eggies!!! Can't wait to hear the fert. report.

rayofsunshine - You are soooooooooo sweet to think of watching our DD. I already have reliable babysitters for next week and none of them include my supposed best friend (who was the unreliable one on Friday). Swine flu was exactly what I was worried about. I've also heard about several students/teachers with it, so I'm assuming it's just floating out there ready to get us all. I know it's hard to have PMA right now, but I am praying for you. And seriously, be THANKFUL that you're not on the PIO shots. Mine went well last night, but they're evil

after awhile. Chin up!!!! Just remember too that you may not have any pregnancy symptoms either. I didn't have a single one, until my ankles started swelling at 5 months.

sancap - 7dp3dt = 7 days past 3 day transfer. Initially, it took me a while to figure that one out too.

Sticky baby dust!!!

J&C · Post by **J&C** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:20 pm

michele - I am so sorry. Please don't loose hope, which I know is easier said than done. Please let us know about your beta on Monday. We'll all be anxiously waiting your news, and I know that we're all praying for a fabulous beta #, because the strips were wrong. (((HUGS)))

lisa10 · Post by **lisa10** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:24 pm

CT Hang in there Hun! You do have tons of people rooting for you and they will be there to support you whatever outcome you get. Don't get down now. PMA...PMA...

I just saw on another thread that your first beta was 44 on 12 dpt with your DD. It may just be too low to show up on those tests. When I researched HPT's, some only read 50. I think there is still hope.

In my humble (but can never keep it to myself) opinion

, stop POASing and go out and do something fun this weekend. Let it be. Try not to think about it. I know easier said then done. Monday will be here before you know it and you can worry then or hopefully celebrate and all this worrying will be for nothing.

bei · Post by **bei** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 3:17 pm

hi everyone -

Ok day 3 of bed rest, its official, i'm going crazy! DH has just informed me that never mind RE that he is extending it to 4 days! If he wasnt being so cute about it it would bug me, but we always for get that they go through this too, so if it will make him more relaxed.....

j & c -Yippeee! 7 fert! I am waiting impatiently for the next report!
And I doubt they will change my beta (thanks to the damn hcg boosters!)
Ok so we wait til the 16th, I'm glad we wait together (lucky sancap!only having to wait til the 12th!)

johannanita -I'm Sooo happy for you, hon! what a long road this has been! Hooray for for a little bean!

you must be over the top! I can POAS, I just have to figure out when. I take the last hcg booster on the 8th, so I'm guessing about 4 days?til its out of my system? its only 0.5ml each shot so I may just ask ghost!

miyaya -How goes the bed rest? hope you're not too bored yet!!

sancap -how are you feeling?

karling -Yippeee for 12 eggies!

destinythanks! sorry the PIO is going badly for you - wishing you patience dust til your beta!

marya -thanks! I'm sure that your next cycle will be the one!

rayofsunshine -thanks! No kidding! i read these posts w/ a notepad next to me! Wishing you loads of PMA!! Be careful about the flu at work! what is it they call kids? walking germ factories? he he

michele -I've had everything crossed for you since June! I'm praying so hard for your beta! Actually, if nothing else I'm thinking that maybe your strips are compromised ? who knows how they were stored before being shipped? I read your thread on ins. I also totally believe in a back up plan ( feel anxious without one!) I asked RE the morning of ET if we need to do this again, will you cycle my eggs? or suggest a donor? you wouldnt believe the look he gave me! (thankfully he said mine) So I'll continue to have everything crossed for you, but understand your thinking. We are all here for you!! hugs, hon!

hugs to us all!! - xoxo

katie99 · Post by **katie99** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 3:37 pm

bei - I'm sorry I dont know anything about Re's in your area, But a new Re means new ideas, new protocol & hopefully new results! Best wishes, hon. Let us know how it goes!

Hello everyone...
I know that I have been MIA, but my mind just needs to focus on Jack and not on the future children I do not have. It is not fair to him. Anyway, we found out that he needs to have a simple surgery to unblock his tear ducts. I am upset becasue I dont want him to have to have general anesthesia so young. But Im sure he will be fine. I did get AF this morning. I think that my clinic wants me to go a cycle here with nothing and they are looking at a possible ER end of Oct beginning of November. I am soooo ready to be done with this. 7 cycles in under 2 years. I am emtionally spent! But of course excited to get my BFP next time. Hope you all are doing well.

CT Michelle-- So sorry to hear about your HPTs. I know it sucks to have to think about everything financially. I'll be thinking of you on Monday.

CT_Michele · Post by **CT_Michele** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 4:34 pm

Neffi- You hit the nail right on the head! I feel the same way about needing to focus my energy on the child I was blessed with. Of course I desperately want her to have a sibling, but at what cost? We can't go so far into debt that dh and I will fight and it will cause stress and we won't be able to do things for ella that we would have wanted to. I think about it right now, about how we are struggling to pay our mortgage this month b/c we had to take out loans for freezing and the FET. I know I am young and I have many more years to try and maybe we will be in a better financial place in a couple years. It just sucks because IVF has taken over my life for so long now, and I just want to get pregnant NOW so I can be done with it and never have to do it again! If we have to wait a few years, I will always be wondering about our next cycle and if it will work or not.

Ugh, sorry to rant, but you just hit home when you said what you did. I am sorry to hear that jack needs to have surgery, but I am sure all will be fine. Many little kids have to have anesthesia very young and they are all fine. I think it is worse for the parents than it is for the kids. Good luck with everything and keep me updated.
