LOL!

[annashope]

Come on girls how is everyone out there?

Margi how is my favorite the POAS diva

Amanda that video clip was too funny thanks for cheering our spirits

Katie how is that bfp coming along? I am so excited for you and can't wait to hear your beta

For the other girls in the 2ww kildean Bakersbaby and Heather how is it going? any new symptoms yet?

I so badly want normalcy to return to our wonderful board. Big hugs to my IVF sisters

AFM I am not quite ready to be on the Preggers board because I am still nervous. Hopefully once we see a heartbeat we will be more confidant. I am so scared it will all go away all the time I was even too afraid to tell my mom. The fatigue has kicked in but I keep having the most vivid nightmares so I am also a bit sleep deprived. I am a bit embarrased to admit that I still POAS every couple of day just to make sure the line is still dark...

So my best friend is in the middle of a terrible divorce and I have to get my things and drive down to Washington DC today so I can be at her hearing tomorrow and I just don't have the energy. Its 186 miles for me so not really looking forward to it. I love her to death but I am trying to be all PMA right now and she is in the middle of so much drama. BTW she doesn't know about our bfp and I am not gonna tell her either (she has too much on her plate right now) so she will probably want to hang out until 2 or 3 am...oh what am I gonna do... lol Anyways I will be back here on the boards Monday evening and hopefully we will all be in a better spirit.

Third beta on Thursday

[BakersBaby]

Annas- No 2ww early symptoms for me. It's too early isn't it? My transfer was just Thursday. Have a safe drive to DC. Try to remain as stress free as possible while being in the middle of your bff's drama. That is so sweet of you to be there for her.

Can I ask a silly question? How many DPO am I? I'm not sure what date it is figured from. TIA!!

AFM- Nothing new. Made a big batch of chicken noodle soup this morning. Taking some to my mom in the hospital, dad, my uncle and grandparents. I need to get in the shower and off to make my deliveries. Back to work tomorrow. Blah!!

[riogirl71]

Annas - How sweet of you to go to your friend's to support her through a divorce, you are such a sweetheart and I understand not wanting to make the leap to the pregnant board yet, I waited for the HB also to join. Your bean will be fine! I have a few questions for you regarding IUI, but I will PM you another day if that is ok with you.

Mellow - You are probably taking a break from board but I am sending you love and prayers.

Bakers - when was your ER? That is day 0 and then after that 1dpo, etc...

SDtrying - I pm'd mellow but have not heard back, my heart aches for her loss and I hope that she will be ok, it will be a very rough patch for her family. My US is on Thursday. Thank you for what you said to margi, I agree.

Karian - Thank you!

ChelledD - eventhough we might disagree on some things I do wish you the best in your journey

Cshell - huge hugs for your loss, I am so very sorry. Did you get your official beta? I am truly sorry.

Katie - huge congratulations to you. My advice is to leave your frosties safe and in place. Maybe one took and you'll want a sibbling later? If you wish for twins that I hope you get healthy twins. Leave that decision for when you are absolutely know you have a complete family. I would love the frostie insurance! When you have a complete family and you are absolutely sure you would like to donate the frosties I think that you can have them transfered to the clinic of the person you chose, so go with a place that is a freezing bank and not your clinic, this way if you chose to do a FET with another clinic you are ok or if you chose to donate them to someone else. If I had frosties and a complete family, I would love to pick one of these wonderful ladies here to have their baby. Bless your heart for being so sweet!

Leora - A while ago you posted about donating eggs to your friend. I agree with another post that I think if your friend has a baby first that it would be emotionally very hard for you, maybe after you have a baby? Bless your heart too for being so generous.

Margi - how many dpo are you today, drinking gatorade? I am really nervous about your BFP causing you OHSS.

jkulab - if you have asthma, like I do make sure to switch to somthing safe like Pulmicort!

AFM - Thank you for the incredible support and prayers. You girls are the best and I don't know how I would stay sane without you. I am trying to mourn quietly since all my crying was making my asthma bad and lack of O2 is not good for bean. I am concentrating on my blessing and hoping and praying he/she is healthy. I am now so scared of my next US. This journey is such a tough one. I am praying for healthy babies for everyone here!

I saw you guys moved here so i am following! Thanks Rio!:)

Im sorry im not on here more often but I dont get online much but wanted to let everyone know what is going on. I had my ER Wed Dec 15th. They got 23 eggs and 16 fertilized. My day 3 report yesterday he said that 9 were 8-10 cell grade A embryos and 7 were 6-8 cell grade B?? but he said they all looked good and strong. We go back tomorrow for the blastocyst transfer at noon. We will put 2 in and freeze the others. Wish us luck. This is our first try and were very nervous. Any tips for after the transfer please???? can i sleep on my tummy? should i lay on the couch and not move for two weeks? lol ...yall are gonna laugh but im scared to go pee im afraid they will fall out!!!!!!!! LOL im so nervous!!! Beta should be Dec 29th

[katieb1231]

Just a quick hello to you all and sending some love out to everyone - and to Rio & Mellow my heart is heavy with you & only hope you can both find the strength to carry on and know that you both have angels still looking for you & they will be with you soon.

Thanks for the words of wisdom Rio on my frosties. I am praying this pregnancy takes (1 or 2) to join our 23 month old DD we already have so yes I agree with you to let my snowbabies rest until we have our family complete. Once we are there though we will definitely being reaching out to some other couples who struggled like we did with that offer - I can't imagine letting go of 6 perfect little babies just because our family is complete - thank you for your advice.

TXC - Awesome Report! Congratulations, I had my ET one week earlier than you my fingers are crossed all goes according to plan. After the transfer at my clinic they give you valium & I was loopy for the rest of the day and night then stayed in bed for the next whole day and two days after. There is no scientific proof this helps or hinders but more of a personal decision. As far as the Embies falling out - that WILL NOT HAPPEN - my RE told me to think of your uterus like two pieces of bread with p'nut butter or jelly in between them that is where your little guys will be - hope that helps!

AFM - I couldn't help myself so I POAS this morn too - a digital - it came back BFP as well so I feel a bit better about it but I am so mis-trusting because I have had so much disappointment - but trying to keep my PMA. I wish I had a magic wand & could give us all our dreams of motherhood but alas I can't so all I can do is be on this journey with you an pray for us all that we get what we want.

Hi ladies! Hope you are having a good day! I had a pretty restless night. The pressure is finally gone and now Im just exhausted. I keep asking myself why in God's name did I do this during this time of year. UGH! The 21st is a year to the day I had PROM with Aimee and then had her 12 January 2010. I am just so sorry that there are so many ladies that are going to be without their babies this Christmas. I pray for you all! Ok ladies.. Ive not been counting or even know what day I am dpo LOL which soul is going to tell me which day I should POAS??

Congrats to your beta Anna and your bfp katie!!

PS. Is Follistim expensive???

[JenMink55]

Hello all my November/Fall Cycle Buddies (((BIG HUGS))) --- Just so you know I have been stalking all of you and I am super excited for all the BFP's. I am also so sorry for some of the losses I have seen over the past few weeks- it really pisses me off!

Well, I am on the March Buddy board but I need some action so I am joining you guys. SO what's been going on with me..... Well after our Chemical on our FET we decided to change RE's. Our first appointment is in 3 weeks and once AF starts up in January we are going for Fresh cycle #2 . I am so anxious and nervous.. all the money we have already spent on IVF and we have nothing but BFN'S to show for it!!!! SUCKS

Anyway-- hoping this new RE will be a better fit than the last one. Stats seem better and they are definitely nicer than the other one. Prior RE said I had the maternal age of 45 at 37 W T F!!????? They want to put me on a Flare Protocol and I am not sure that's going to be the best choice for us. We shall see what we find out.

So glad to see some old friends, and looking forward to some new ones.

Love to you all ~~ Jennifer
