Sancap- That must be exciting to see your baby or babies. I'm only 3dp3dt, I don't want to POAS, I never seen a + test and I'm scare. There was times before that I was sure I was preggo and -. My beta is next saturday the 24. They also schedule me for 3 more blood work before beta, does everyone get this and what are they checking for?

So I left here for a while to clear my head. But after reading the boards today, I could have stayed. I'm always stunned when I read that someone out there is doing the exact same thing that I am.
Michele - If you're there, I got myself a Wii and took a break from these boards, too. Overall, I'm happy with the Wii and the exercises in general. I think if I do another cycle, I'm going to have to find a way to keep doing the Wii. It must be all those endorphines from exercise, but they've done me a world of good. I hope you're feeling better as well.
J&C - I'm so sorry for the BFN. To say that it sucks doesn't cover it. *HUG*. I really wish you were not here with me in the BFN club. I remember the encouraging words you had for me when I was down and I was really hoping it would work out for you.
I planned on more personals, but I have to run. Stay strong all you PUPO and potenially PUPO ladies! And *HUG* to all my sisters in the BFN club. We will all get through this somehow.

J&C and Malya-Im so sorry for you both! What a difficult time....my thoughts and prayers are with you.
AFM-Let the POASing marathon begin!!! I found some of those HPT strips for like $3, so I stocked up. My DH and BIL talked me into POASing I tried to talk them out of it, im 5dp3dt. Then I saw on another forum one girl POAS 3dpt and got a super dark line and later she had twins. So, i decided to do it. I knew it was wayyyy too early...and it was negative. im ok...but DH seemed upset. We'll try again tomorrow morning.
Jayden have you POASed yet?

kala0704- My DH talked me into POASing too, they are worse then we are sometimes 
You are crazy early though, I recommend waiting a few more days before you start driving youself crazy. I don't know how/why you guys do it... the marathon thing...it would drive me bonkers 
Keep up your PMA and don't let the early one get you down, your BFP is coming!

Hey! Taking a break from work to post. Sorry no personals.
Looks like we have had some ups and downs the past couple of days. I am so sorry for the ones with sad news and very happy for those with good news. As it has been said before, this process is a real rollercoaster ride and sometimes it feels like we come off the track. I am praying for all of you and wish you all the best.
I will be buried in work this weekend as DH is off hunting. Take care and I'll catch up again (yeah, right....) soon.

hi everyone -
official beta - BFN
I did manage to shock the nurse w/ how unaffected I sounded, then i told her that I've already had 4 days of tears - AND THATS MORE THAN ENOUGH ALREADY! I'll make my follow up appt on monday ( hope its not a month long wait like last time) So much for 2 "perfect embies".....
malya -I'm so sorry. Hugs to you & DH
sancap -crossed for twins for you. dont be scared, it will be just fine
lisa -thanks! Wishing you a great thaw for your little guys! GL tom!
kala -You be careful of those sticks! but I couldnt stop myself either!
washingtonda -Yes, 100% out of pocket! arent ins companies wonderful? We did medical loans & lots of overtime & wiped out our savings. i agree w/ you about not touching retirement or home equity. I totally agree w/ you about not stopping til it works. Its a very scary thought. But if you want something bad enough you find a way to make it work.
hugs & prayers to all of us! - xoxo

Hey girls,
Well today has been a very depressing day. I called the clinic this morning because I still have not gotten a full blown af, it has just been some slight discoloration for the past couple days, but I stopped progesterone on sunday. They said it could take up to 2 weeks for her to show, but of course as soon as I got off the phone, bright red started coming.
Warning, TMI coming. So a couple hours ago, the flow really got heavy and the cramps got worse than they h ave ever been in my life, thank goodness ella was napping. They actually got so bad, I was crying and called dh and asked him to get coverage for second shift b/c I just couldn't take care of the baby I was in so much pain. I spent the next 45 minutes on the toilet waiting for him to bring home something stronger than tylenol and excedrin. Then it happened. I coughed and felt something weird, ran to the bathroom and it was a huge clot, that I am pretty sure was the baby and sac. Oh it was so sad. I didn't think it would effect me, but it did. Dh had to flush, I couldn't do it.
The cramping has subsided now, still heavy flow. Now I feel bad I asked dh to get out of work, but the pain was unbearable. I was only 5-6 weeks pregnant, could I have seriously passed the fetus and seen it? Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Sorry to gross everyone out.
Katie- I am so sorry hun, I was really routing for you this time, and everytime.

katie99- So very very sorry to hear the bad news. I hope you get a quick turn-around and a BFP next time. I'll be following you!
Michele-- As if you haven't been through enough
I've never had it happen to me but it sounds like what I would expect to happen. How sad, I am sooo sorry. When I had my m/c I had a d&c because I was around 10weeks but I asked what would happen if I didn't have the surgery and she said it would be painful and lots of blood and probably a traumatic experience. (((HUGS))) to you and DH and best of luck for next time.

Hope you have a happy, boring & healthy 8 1/2 more months!
michele -My heart goes out to you. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Dont feel bad for DH coming home, you need him right now.
this whole process is so difficult, it really helps to have an understanding DH. Go hug on him & the Ella-bug! I bet it makes you feel better. As always, hugs to you - xoxo

Michelle- Thats is almost word for word how my first MC happened, but I was woken up by the pain. I thought all my insides were coming out. I was 6 wks too. I stopped my meds today and I'm waiting for the pain to start, hang in there my heart goes out to you and I must say that you are a brave woman! May no one ever have to go thru this, it is awful and painful and yes I too needed my DH to flush the clot the size of my palm. Much hugs.

Hi girls-
malya-I am so sorry for you and can't imagine the pain you are going through right now. We will be here for you praying that you heal.
Katie and J&C-I am so upset for both of you. I have been praying for you both and hoping to see good news-I know that there is a plan for us all but it seems so impossible to make it through all the setbacks and heartaches.
Michele-How horrible! I second that you shouldn't feel bad for DH coming home. You needed the support and help-this would be the "for better or worse" part. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Kala-2 days is so very short-there's no place like home!! I hope you can manage for the 2 days and then relax when you finally see home. Don't worry about the embies-they are snuggling in!
Welcome to all the new ladies-this is a wonderful support system for all the ups and downs of this process. We understand better than anyone can!
AFM-I looked into egg donors and was completely blown away with cost. It sounds like it will close to $26K for the process. Yikes!! I thought that would be the way to go because of cost/timeline but now we are rethinking and considering adoption. We have to still meet with RE to see if IVF is worth another try-I don't know what he would change to make this time better. We'll see, I still believe in miracles!
