Turtle - LOL! You are so funny! Consider it done! I'm so glad you are moving forward.

Katie - I am so sorry about the results. You are such a strong person! I will be praying for you.

Milli - I am praying for a miracle for you, Dear!

Beth84 - Never too late!!! Glad you came over to visit! This is such a lovely bunch!

AFM - U/S tomorrow @ 9am. I am SO nervous! I have been trying to listen to my belly with my stethescope, but hearing nothing but bowel sounds. That may be normal @ this point, but it's nerve wrecking! On a good note, DH will be home this afternoon from his hunting trip with the guys. He so needed some time away, but I miss him so much! There were 8 of them who went. 4 men and each carried one son. So I am making a butt load of lasagna for them to have a nice warm meal after camping in 30 degree weather and dealing with rain and sleet.

WARNING....PMA IS TOTALLY GONE!

Well tomorrow is my Beta and I dont feel any different. No symptoms...nothing. EVen my OHSS symptoms have evened out...no changes in the past few days...I even lost a pound. I am quite sure I will get a BFN and I am preparing myself. DH and I have already decided if it is a BFN as hard as it will be we will close this chapter in our lives and try to move on. Financially we are done and I have had to be out of work because of the severe OHSS/bed rest I have had every cycle...fresh or frozen. I have been feeling more and more depressed and I know I need to prepare myself for it.
I just wanted to thank those who were so supportive to me especially Shelby for keeping the list updated and having so much PMA and wish everyone luck and prayers in their IVF journey.

Oh Prayin! You make it sound so final! It's not over! tomorrow is a new day and you have heard the stories as well as I have that some women have NO symptoms & I lost weight, too. Please don't give up! I want so bad to see your BFP tomorrow and I expect nothing less :wink: !!!

Prayin...This roller coaster ride is sooooo hard. You never really know till that beta comes in. Hang in there 1 more day. Based on your name, I will assume you are religious. I will be praying for you and your DH. Know whatever God gives you tomorrow, it is never too much for you to bare and there is a plan for you. We never know God's plan, but He does, and in the end it is perfect for you.

AFM....Day 2 and I am already panicking that this didn't work. I have this stupid tickle cough and every time I give in an cough, I feel like I am affecting the implantation. Yesterday was great, and I rested all day. Today the kids are back and they just don't get that I need to lay around. My oldest hit my stomach too, but I think she as high enough to miss anything. I really just feel like crying right now. My DD had a play date and when the mom dropped her off the kids went nuts in my house and wouldn't leave. Now I feel so stressed from that too. I am now going to lay down for the rest of the day and veg out and try not to cough. I keep telling myself my embie is safe and a little movement from coughing can't do anything, but I am still so nervous. This seems to be the most important days of the whole cycle and I'm blowing it! Last time I did my fresh cycle, I was in a wedding on day 2. It seems like I can never get a break.

Hi ladies...all this time and it has only been 4dpt! It feels soo long and I'm so worried it didn't work. Besides my very sore bum, all I feel is a tiny cramp here n there like I'm bout to have my period. Oh, and is it normal to be going to the bathroom every 15mins?

syanna, lisa10, and prayin4BFP- WOW! ladies...that is ENOUGH of that! You need to QUIT your whining and get back on that PMA bus...WTH is wrong with you??? It is waaaaaaaay to early to be that negative and there is no reason at this point you should feel like it didn't work! Sorry I am being so harsh but COME ON! Your embies need to to stop worrying and relax so they can relax and snuggle in tight and grow to be BBB #'s. Now SNAP OUT OF IT!

Sayana- I went pee alot too and had little crampies here and there...still do. Sometimes it feels like period cramps but just for a minute or two then it goes away. i try not to worry about it. If we worried about every little pull or crapm we would drive ourselves crazy. Just try to tell yourself that it is your little one snuggeling in (Cuz that's probably what it is!) PMA

Lisa- I had a little cough too the 2nd day and worried about it but seriously, it is fine. Just drink lots of water and maybe it will go away. Relax, take a deep breath and relax. Everything is going to be fine:) You are PUOP so enjoy the moment!!!!! :D PMA

Prayin- why so down honey? You have no reason to believe this one did not work unless you POASed and got a neg (and haven't told us). Even then there have been plenty of stories of people getting neg even the morning of beta and getting a BFP! Don't stress yourself out just yet, you will have plenty of that coming when you have a newborn to take care of in 8 or so months. :D PMA

Now that I am done scolding you, I am going to address the others seperately until your PMA returns. Get a good nights rest and reaccess your tude in the AM. Hopefully you will have come to your senses by then! Love you guys :)

turtle- you crack me up girl! Yeah....Our boys didn't look to good out there, it's like they forgot to bring their bats or something! I heard Theo said next year is a "rebuilding" year too so we can chalk that up to a BFN lol. (Wow I found a new way to use that term lol). Now I pray the Angels can knock the Yanks out somehow but their defensive blunders worry me. I just don't want the Yank to win...not this year, not the year of their new stadium and all the money they spent on their new pretty team...oh I just wish they fail miserably :twisted: Oh yeah, almost forgot the mention the REAL important stuff...Congrats on AF!!!!! Friday the 13th is actually a lucky day...didn't you know that!

shelbyrn0214- OOOOh shelby I just can't wait til your u/s tomorrow. I am sooo excited for you and can't wait to hear if you have 1 or 2!!!! Please let me know asap, I will be on the boards all day waiting to hear I'm sure. GL hon!!!! :D PS please help me snap the girls out of thier funk, I know you are sooo good at it!

More to come...have to walk to dog real quick!

Shelby - I am so jealous you get your u/s today!!! I have to wait until Friday and it is driving us absolutely nuts. I guess things are going fine, as far as I can tell without any feedback from the clinic for a week and a half. They don't do our u/s until 2 weeks after our last beta, and it's really hard to go that long without any information when you get used to showing up there every other day. I've been feeling okay until yesterday when the nausea started creeping in, but I'm taking that as an annoying good sign :)

Hi to everyone - will do more personals later!

Hey everyone! I've had lots of nausea and all around icky feeling yesterday and this morning, but all that was pushed aside for a little while. The u/s went great. We are going to have TWINS!!!!! OMG! We are still beside ourselves :shock: . Both sacs, beans, and HB were perfect. I am right on schedule with development. I will check in again later, but right now we have to finish telling everyone! :D :D
