Oh Margi, I am so very sorry. I was so hopeful for you this cycle. This is just so unfair!

Margi -- I'm so sorry hun. I know how that news stings. Life is so unfair. Thinking of you.

Nancy -- Don't give up just yet.... it could be too early to show on a HPT, even a FRER.

Claudia -- Hi friend! How are you feeling beautiful mama? Thanks for chiming in. We have some Pre-Conceive Plus lubricant which is supposed to also be sperm friendly. It's available at Wal-Mart. I've read success stories on-line from couples who use it. We only use it occasionally if we have to.... like when you're having "no time for foreplay" morning sex before work because you got a surge on your OPK and are too excited to wait until evening not to mention that sperm counts are supposedly higher in the morning so why not take advantage of everything you can...lol.

OK... it sounds like a simple recipe. One egg + 1 sperm = baby, right? Why the hell is this so hard for us????
This is my frustration: #$^*^*^$%%%$##&()(^^&^##@#%$&(&%%#%$%&^)&*^%@$*&(&^!!!!!!!!!

Margi I am so sorry I was really hoping this would be it for you. You are such a strong woman and have such an amazing outlook. You are in my thoughts and I am sad with you. This is such a confusing and frustrating journey and I know how upsetting it is when everything looks good and it still doesn't work. I think for me that is so much harder than when there is a clear answer.

Margi - I'm so sorry that it didn't work out this cycle. I still think that your time will come and that you will be holding your baby soon. I am praying that you get through this and that you get your wish soon!! Hugs!

Klinger - Awesome beta! I'm definitely thinking twins with that amazing number!!

Lou - Have lots of fun making babies the old fashioned way. I wish that were even an option for us, but with both tubes gone it would pretty much have to be a miracle.

Lauren - I think its a great sign that they are both growing so well! Congrats on being PUPO!!

Tammy - Thanks for the info about Menopur. For some reason, I thought it slowed down the process instead of the other way around. Anyway, it was great information and it helps me move around my schedule at work to accommodate it. I was counting on late next week and maybe I better be prepared for anything! I do hope that you start feeling better - like you said, sometimes knowing too much can be a detriment. You have helped so many of us get through this crazy process with great info and awesome positivity and I hope that we can send some good vibes your way, as well. It doesn't matter how they look going in, just how well your body accepts them and it seems that your body wants to be prego. Stay positive!!! Praying for you!

Nancy - Praying for you that you are one of the success stories that we all count on! Positive on beta day!! Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping like crazy you have great news tomorrow.

AFM - only on day 3 of stims. Its going quickly and so slowly at the same time. I don't feel anything different yet, but I go in for my 1st b/w tomorrow and then scheduling a SnS depending on my numbers. I just want to fast forward to next week so that I am that much closer to ER, ET and then being PUPO! I have a really good feeling about this one so hoping it all works out!

Thoughts and prayers to anyone I missed!

Cheri...Thanks...you saying that my body wants to be pregnant, makes me feel really good. What was your protocol before and now again exactly? I may be able to "guess" a little more for you.

Lauren...Wooohooo! Both your embies sound fantastic and you are PUPO with me! Welcome to crazytown...I am already going nuts. :mrgreen:

Amanda...Yayy for a great first beta! WTG! Sooo very happy for you!!!

Sooo I have decided that this cycle HAS to work for me...why? Because, I am out of characters on my signature line, and cant fit another cycle in there, without deleting a picture. Notice how there are no spaces and how cramped everything is now? LOL :lol:
