Hey Val - So sorry to hear how difficult the m/c has been. Good luck with your recovery and I hope you get to go on that trip!
I have started feeling way better, and it's true: I started worrying! After so many US and blood tests to reassure me everything was ok week after week, not feeling the m/s as much is worrisome during this 2ww until the next US! It seems crazy to complain about feeling good
The good news is that I'm excited to finally feel up to helping take care of my new nephew. I saw him yesterday and he fell asleep on my chest. It was so sweet! My SIL has her last family help leaving on Saturday so I'm going to tell her today to add me to the calendar as a regular babysitter. Although I haven't changed a diaper or fed a baby a bottle since 1988 so I'll need some refreshers first!
Anyhoo, hope everyone is doing well and good luck TooBee with the bed rest!

I can relate your worry about losing m/s symptoms. I think any woman who has been through IVF and has worked so hard to get pregnant can relate. I think m/s gives us some sign our bodies are still preggers and then when its gone we think the worst. I have had a few days, lets may stress the word FEW, where I felt great and of course I wondered what could me wrong. Its so crazy for us IVF girls!

I am so excited you start stimms! I am so going to send you lots of good positive goodness. I hope you'll share with us your progress. I am so routing for you. You will get a BFP this time, this will be your time to celebrate, I just know it. Your such a Trooper and such a good soul. Are you going to add yourslef back to our update list????? would love to see your name.
Val
I already PM'd you. You sound in good spirits consdering all that you hve been through. You really are a rock! I do hope the vacation is somethig tht hapens for you and something you can really enjoy and just relax and rejuvenate. Hugs to you my sister.

I guess no news is good news sometimes, but I enjoy seeing your posts no matter what you have to say
mmm I wonder why you have been dizzy. Ya know, its important to have your blood monitered if you have symptoms like that, I have read dizziness during pregnancy can be a sign of anemia. Im not tryin to scare you, just looking out for ya. I am still battling really bad m/s as well. Last week It was really bad and my OB told me that at 10 weeks is when hormones generally peak for most of us. SO maybe we will all get some relief soon. My next US is this Monday. Thats the day before my birthday and 3 dys before I hit the 12 week mark. So I hope its a great US and also that maybe they see whats causing the bleeding. I am not so freaked anymore about the bleeding, but just over all freaked about miscarrige again. 
Stephanie
Thanks for all you help .....it helped me. Hope your doing well.
As for me, I am little unstable these days Actually I am ok Im just going stir crazy. I dont do well on bed rest but thats what my Dr really wants. I dont know why as I have red that bed rest doesnt do anything for you? But they really insisted on bed rest and allot of fluids. I have been on and off bed rest since week 9 so its just been stressful as I never imagined pregnancy to be this emotional and physically draining.
The fetal doppler gets me through each day until the next US. So ladies if my posts come acroos dramatic and narotic sounding its becuase I have way to much time on my hands to think about all that can go wrong!!! Although am waiting for a bunch of books to read from Amazon, shuld be here soon and I started my christams cards early (I have some I bought on sale last year) But at the moment my PMA is getting better.
Thnks Ladies..I ws so glad to wake up to see some posts today...it warms my heart to hear how your all doing-

toobee- When I went in to my regular ob they checked for anemia and didn't say anything. I guess that is a good sign. My DH looked up dizziness and found a few reasons it could be. I noticed my blood pressure is low whenever I am dizzy. I am usually 120/80. Lately it has been 106/67. Plus my pulse is high. In the 90's usually. I guess when you are pregnant your pumps more blood. Sometimes it gets a little out of sync or something. I will talk to my doc when I see her in a couple of weeks. I was surprised how common dizziness is in pregnancy. Wow, I can't believe you already have some Christmas cards done. That is great. At least you got something done while on bed rest. I know it can drive you crazy. My DH is helpless when it comes to cooking and cleaning so it drives me crazy to wonder what he is doing to the house while I was on bed rest
slfleming- Glad you are feeling better. I think it is pretty natural to worry when m/s ends. Don't worry about diapers. They come back to you pretty quick. Just have something ready to cover his stuff in case he starts peeing on you.
Well, I will be out of town for a few days. We have to be in Orlando for business on Monday so we decided to go a few days early to take my son to Universal. They have a Marvel area where he can meet Spiderman. He is so excited. I hope I am up to it. I haven't thrown up since Sunday so that is a good sign. I still feel like crap though. I dry heaved today.
I will get one of those electric wheelchairs to make my life easier. I usually do that anyway because of my prosthetic leg. At least it should be nice weather now. Take care everyone!!

Val - I'm so sorry to hear about your m/c. I was hoping we hadn't heard from you because you were holding out to give us some good news. Toobee is right, you are a rock! If at all possible, take that vacation - you deserve it!
turtles - I've had dizziness too. Mine goes along with the general queasiness (but no puking, thank heavens) that is my m/s. I have low blood pressure as it is so I'm not too worried. Have a great time in Orlando! We were there in July - I'm sure you will have nicer weather.
toobee - glad your mind is eased a bit today.
Chris - Go stims go!
Nothing major to report here. My next milestone is Sunday, when I finally get to stop the estrogen and progesterone! That will be a huge relief. Then I have my final u/s with RE on Tuesday, and after that released to my OB.

Hiya Ladies~
Im sorry I was missing for a while. The BFN hurts more than I remembered and I needed to grieve. I have been crying everyday and every night since I got the news. But last night I was able to finally sleep thorugh the night. DH and I are going to try again for sure. And hopefully soon as I am worried my window is closing as I am nearly 40. Im scared--but not ready to give up.
Thank you all for your kind messages and support. It meant the world to me and helped me through such a dark time.
Val~I was holding out hope that you were not going to miscarriage afterall. I am so sad to hear that in it was inevitable. A big hug to you during this horrible time. We all love you here and are sending you hugs over the miles. I hope you get to go on your holiday.
TooBee~I feel for you and all these terrible trips to the ER! You poor dear. I sure hope the twins settle down and all goes smoothly from here on out. I am releived to hear you got the babybeat dopler! What a great idea and so good for your peace of mind.
Chris~I am excited that you are already stimming again! You will get a BFP this time. We are all sending you abydust over the miles!

Good evening.
Thank you all so much for all your kind words of support. I'm doing much better today and even ventured out for a while. It looks like we are going on our trip and will be leaving Sunday morning. I'm really happy about that. I can't wait to just relax and just enjoying the days without worrying about anything.
SueQiwi~ I'm so glad to hear from you and I'm so sorry you had such a tough time with your BFN. It is never easy and we never know in advance how we will react to a situation. The best is to live it as it comes. If it means we need to cry a lot, so be it. I am glad you will try again and we will all be here to support you.
kerpupples~ It's so great that you've reached your next milestone and I bet you can't wait to get off those meds. And it will feel so good to be released to your OB. I'm sure all will be well during your next US.
Turtles~ Have loads of fun at Universal, sounds like a good way to make a business trip a lot more pleasant. Hope the dry heaving stays away while you're away. The weather has been fabulous for the past few days (except today) and have been enjoying it so much. You will too.
Toobee~ I should give you my Christmas cards so that you can write them. Sounds like you have tons of time and as a friend, I want to make sure to keep you occupied! Our B-Day are 10 days apart! mine is Nov. 7. The 12 weeks mark is in sight for you...Youpiiieee! Although I know you want to see 21 weeks before you can relax.
Chris~I'm so happy that you start your stims real soon. Nov 7 is a good day!! Trust me! I also know you will get a BFP!!!
Congrats on starting your Lupron tomorrow.
Have a great night and I'll talk to you soon.
Much love,
Val

Turtles - Have fun at Universal.
Val - So glad you get to go on vacation. You know what is really funny? You started stims on Aug 8, which was my B-day. Now I will start stims on Nov 7th which is yours. I am sure you will be bringing lots of good luck.
TooBee - I think you have way too much time on your hands if you are doing x-mas cards already. At least you won't have to do them later on. Hope everything is going OK with your PG. Is your m/s the same?
YEAH its Friday!!!! Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Hope your having fun at Universal and your health holds up. I worry about tht dizziness for you, please take it easy and rest when you need too. I know some woman need to increase their salt intake when they have low blood pressure. But I am glad you will disucss it with your DR. Be well! My husbad isnt helpless, but he doesnt seem to notice the dishes, and wash piling up...I think he so used to me cleaning the house he thinks Ill get to it!! My DR really wanted me on strict bedrest until this bleeding resolves just because I had so much of it.......Yes I am follwing orders for most part, but I cant have dshes and wash pile up. I jsut dont get this besdrest thing, but I imagine there is a reason for it. I cant wait for my books to get here...after bed rest for so long I am running out of stuff to do.....Only so much you can do lying down.........
to_have_fun08
How are you feeling, are you on the Lupron now???? Ya know I hd no real issues with that one. You are right, I have way to much time on my hands. I envy my husband who goes to wrok everyday carrying on with life as normal, in fact I m envious of all those who seem to be engaging in life...I am like a lump of crap on my couch!!! I feel ike life has turned upside down and I guess pregancy for people like me doesnt come easy....Im not complaining , Im just sayin.......MY m/s is sketchy, but its getting better but still not at a point where I feel good, but Ill take better!
Val
How are you feeling today??? Your a scorpio too!!! how funny, no wonder! Yes my birtday is Oct 28th...I doubt I will do anything. So is your Birthday Nov 8th? My brothers and best freinds birthday is in November too. I really hope you have a fabulous trip. I really want to go scuba diving but thats out of the question, I love to travel but my husband is afraid to take me anyhwere, but Im feeling like I really need to get out of dodge cause I am feeling like I need a break from all this....Im hoping as soon as I get better hopefully! Have a wonderful time!
SueQiwi

I didnt expect to her form you for awhile, you needed time to yourself to grive, but I am so glad to have you back and I hope you will continuw to share your journey with us even your bad days.......we all have them and we all can relate

Hello!
Sorry I have had 12-14hr days all week, and come home and crash, checking only urgent emails. taking it easy. The hard part is done and the show officially opens this sunday.
I am still well although there is weird dark brown goo where regular mucus should be, thus, I will not feel totally fine until I see the doc.
The good news is - we got our CVS tests back. Everything is totally normal and...... we're having TWO BOYS!!!! I'm really thrilled and excited, and since I have 4 sisters and only one brother this is going to be a really fun and new ride for me. ... That, and boys baby clothes have gotten so much cuter over the last years so it's not like you have to dress them in pastel blue.
Onward
Too Bee - you and I have been speaking bleeding and bedrest, but can you tell me from where you ordered the doppler. (I could have used one this week) And.. You KNOW i will be trying these muffins. All bran makes me gag.
VAL - I am so sorry but so glad you are taking a week to be surrounded by support and love. AND yes, m/c cramps are the worst. Please stick around and let us all continue to be in touch.
TOO HAVE FUN - good luck on those stims. excitement is the best. loking forward to the treatment is such a great way to start out.
SueQiwi - Hey, I'm 40 and my window did not close. I'd say 42 is an even tougher time.

Good evening girls!!
Stefanie~ I am so very very happy for you that the CVS results came back good. Congrats on having two boys!! You must be elated. You can start thinking about what to do for the nursery and buying cute clothes. I hope you get a break from work real soon. As soon as you see your OB, you will feel better knowing all is well.
I'm not going anywhere and I'll be here.
Toobee~ Yes, I'm a scorpio too. My B-Day is Nov. 7th. I have a lot of Scorpio friends too. Your traveling days are not here quite yet ...but soon you will be able to go around. No scuba diving though until the babies are here. I know you feel like your life has been turned upside down right now, but it is only temporary. Soon you will feel better, the bleeding will have stopped, you'll be out of bed and so proud to carry that bump.
I'm going to have to try those muffins, they sound delish!!
I had a bit of a tough day, I was feeling sad and angry at the same time. I found out my cousin is having a little girl and it is just tearing at my heart. I'm really happy for her but can't help but feel really sad that I'm not pregnant anymore. I haven't been able to talk to her, it is just too difficult. I don't know how to feel better about that either. When I think about it, I just want to cry and cry.
I went to work today and accomplished something, that made me feel better.
Has anyone heard from Amanda? I'm a little worried since we have not seen any posts from her. If you see this, drop us a little note.
Chris~ That is a funny coincidence that we each started our stims on each other's B-Day. I sure hope it brings you luck! Come on BFP!!!
Have a good night and I'll catch you later.
Much love,
Val

I know that feeling of sad and angry and its just a sucky feeling. I also know that feeling of grief when finding out others close to you are expecting and it can be very confusing. I am so sorry, I know its hard but your feeling that way is natural and not a sign of weakness.. The only thing that helped me is when I read my books, and took long walks and just the passgae of time. Before I got PG through IVF with this pregnacy, I had just suffered and eptopic and found out a few other things wrong. However before I knew it was for certain eptopic, I was still clinging to hope just for a day or so until I had to get an empergency lap done. While I was waiting and before my lap, I got a call from my step-mother who knew what I was going through to tell me that my step-brother was expecting.......I was so mad at her that day because she knew what I was going through but she couldnt help herself. I have not been able to fogive her yet for that but I share this with you because you have a right to grieve and be in yor moment until your ready. After my 3rd miscarrige I knew that most people who never expereinced an ordeal like what allot of us ahve experienced, could possibly understand, and I told myslef that I wasnt a bad person if I could not share in someones joy when I was expreincing such sadness. When I was feeling strong again, I made no apologies and congratulated my step-brother and his girlfreind with a phone call and flowers. When I did finally do it I meant it and felt true joy for them and it was allot more genuine than if I had called them when I was still greiving.
I hope that helps..........Im here for you Val and I know if you decide to go another IVF round , your chance of it working are so high. But ya know you are very fertile right after a m/c so ya never know....I got pregnant with my 3rd (eptoic) right after my second m/c......
BIg Hugs to you.........big hugs
