Jan/Feb 2010--Cycle Group

[Stephanieford78]

Lou - those cramps sound like the same ones I had for a while. They just started to calm down. I had more of that type of cramping with a BFP then both of my BFN. I am thinking positive thoughts for you!! I think those cramps might be the implantation cramps. I always thought it was a myth, after all, who feels a microscopic embryo burrowing in? However, makes sense now since I have no other explaination for them. Keep you a PMA!

[Lauren1171]

Lou - I hope those are implantation cramps! I can't wait to hear yours, GIs and Ronda's positive betas!!!

AFM- my DH who couldn't care less about having another baby ( he has a 9 year old DD) is more upset about this than me! He just thinks we have terrible luck and this is just another bad thing that's happened. I don't think we have bad luck. I just think that we had 7 good embryos and these 2 were not meant to be. I think one of the remaining 5 will work. I am excited to do the FET Now and decided that pending what RE says, I will do it as soon as I can. I will join the march/April board after I see the remaining positive tests.

[DandMe]

Lauren your positive attitude is admirable. You're a very strong woman. I wish you all the best with your FET cycle.. so many women get preg with FE!

Katie... Very worried, belly buddy.. .where are you??

[Stephanieford78]

Lauren, I agree with DandMe! Your PMA is amazing! I am sure you will get a BFP with your FET! I hope to hear how it goes!

[Arabsrcool]

Lauren,

I am so sorry beta confirmed your BFN. You sound very positive and FET is so much easier than a fresh cycle. I agree, these two embies just were not meant to be, but I bet the 5 frosties are your ticket to a BFP! I say to go Vegas, have some fun (drinking, staying out late and eating lots of yummy food), then go on to FET. That will give your body time to rest and recover from the fresh cycle.

lou,

how you holding up? Your friends do probably think you have lost you mind, not taking free shots, that is enough to make them think you are nuts! Still no POAS?

Franny,

glad to hear from you. Did you have a fun trip in Vegas? Win tons of $? Great that your RE switches you now on meds, especially since you have some of the other in the fridge. Just figures doesn't it?

Stephanie,

are you posting on the pg board? This thread will be ending soon and everyone moving on to other threads.

Positivethinking,

still not snuck in a HPT? Thinking of you.

Katie,

where are you???? I am so worried about you!

afm, did HPt this morning and I got a very FAINT POSITIVE . I am 10pdt and hope my line wil get darker tomorrow. I THINK I MIGHT BE PREGNANT!

Ronda

[Positivethinking]

Ronda, looks like you r pregnant. Congrats...even a faint line is a positive.
Guess what...I could not resit and I poas this morning. I have 2 huge dark lines. Looks like I am pregnant too. However I am freaking out and I am very scare. first time and I dont want it to be clinical or have a miscarriage...
I still dont have any symptoms except being tired but again I woke up at 7am this morning...cannot sleep...
Anyways now is not the time to be negative, I will try to stay with PMA until the blood test on Thursday. These 2 weeks are taking for ever...

[claud662]

I wanted to quickly pop in and say a BIG CONGRATS to Gi, Ronda, & Positive for BFP's!!! Lou=U are going to end with one as well and I have everything crossed for you Although I haven't posted much I have been lurking and following you all closely and I will soon join you on the other side of the thread!!!

Lining was FINALLY an 8 today so I start PIO and am scheduled for FET on Wednesday but we all know my Tuesday apt is the most important one cause we see if my lining stays nice and thick!!!

xoxo

[DandMe]

Claudia; such great news! What a long wait but finally you'll be PUPO!

Positive... with really dark lines so far before your beta it just can't be a chemical! Good for you and congrats!!

I know I can't be the only one really missing Katie. I am getting more concerned by the hour, and admit to checking on here with every expectation to hear that her computer was broken or her hubby took her away for a surprise mini vacation.

Katie - we're getting worried and can't wait to hear from you..

[lou71]

Ronda & Positive - Hooray for + POAS! That's geat news! You guys are PREGNANT!

Claudia - yay for an 8! You will be PUPO very soon. Thanks for checking in on us.

Katie - miss you girl... you ok?

Stephanie - I hope you're right about my cramps. I had cramps on my BFN cycles too, but I don't think they were this bad. Today, of course, no cramps. So I feel very.... not pregnant.

AFM - Today I am 8dp3dt & I have not POAS. I still feel like it would either be too soon for a positive or a BFN, in which case I'd rather wait for beta on Wed. I plan to work half a day so I can be home with DH when we get the news. But haha... you guys are right, I totally must appear nuts turning down free shots! And it's funny that you remembered my story of hiding lupron inj while in Vegas last December with my friends. That was funny too! We sooo wanted to see Alice in Wonderland in IMAX 3D last night, but it was sold out over an hour before showtime. Boo! Try again next week. I wish I could work out. Feeling "sluggish".

[katie99]

Hi everyone -

OMG - I feel like I've risen from the dead or something. I've been in bed since friday! I must have picked up a bug, because I slept pretty much through all of the weekend. I felt awful, it started on thurs night, and I was thinking is this finally morning sickness? But I felt weak, exhausted, nauseous - but thankfully no fever and it just continued from friday on - ugh! Then this afternoon I woke up and my DH told me that I slept for 16 hrs straight through. Today I feel great - go figure. Oh, i hate to be MIA - look at how much I missed! and you all sure have been busy! It took me 45 minutes to catch up! I missed you all so much!

Gi Hoooray!!! I told you so! It was lucky number 7 for us both! oh, honey I'm so happy for you!! Whew! 7 times was ALOT!!!
No wonder we've been around here forever! I 'll bet your Mam is over the moon! And J too! So there will be no b/w at all? The next step is to book your 7 week scan? Ugh thats frustrating!!! Can you book a private beta? or can you just wait it out? Yes, absolutely see if you can off work - you dont need any extra stress right now - much love!!

Lou I like the sound of those stabbing type of pains - I had those. I so want this to be it for you! Please take it easy at work -no lifting please. And my friend you must be chomping at the bit for it to be Wed already - I think we are all right there with you. is it wed yet? much love -xoxo

Ronda YAY for two lines!!!! I'm so happy to hear that!! I cant wait til its official on Wed!!! Take it easy around the horses please

Lauren & Sarah I'm so sorry guys. I know how much it sucks. I'm keeping you both in my prayers that April will be it for you both - BIG HUG to you both

Franny Yipppee for almost having your "baby in a box" I swear that you get a hard time with the med ordering each time - What is with these people?
That dopey pharmacy better stop messing with my Franny! Ooooh have a great time skiing today! Be careful! much love to you my friend xoxo

Sonya You are so close now! its almost Tues!!!!!! Finally, right? its official - you are most definitely the Queen of Patience. You'll feel so much better when you come home from your appt. And they will surely measure the HB for you. I cant wait to hear your good news, I know you've been stressing a bit - xoxo

Positive Hoooray for 2 lines!! Have you heard anything about your job interview yet? I hope they have maternity leave....

Stephanie Congratulations!!!

Claudia WHOOO HOOO! for an 8!!!! I'm crossed for Tues lining check! Oh, honey, you'll be PUPO on Wed!!!! Yay!!!!

Jenice I'm glad to hear you sound so positive, sounds like you've got everything on the ball! I'm still hoping that you have to kiss a horse's ass soon....

I love, love, love how much good news theres been! I hope it continues! hugs & prayers to us all - xoxo

[kittycat]

hello everyone! Another thread crasher here. I'm doing what I can to keep my mind busy during this 2ww, FET on 3/2 with a scheduled BETA on 3/11.

Congrats to all of you with positives. So sorry to everyone else, I will be praying for everone on this board. This is my 5th try so I have been on this roller coaster ride for 2 years now.

Currently doing my best to stay positive, felt horrible all of a sudden yesterday extremely exhausted, really crampy down in the va-j-j (tmi) just concerned cause that happened in the past when my BETAs dropped, has anyone experienced that and still gotten positive BETA? I took a long hard nap and still felt bad. Slept like a rock last night and woke with the sorest boobs ever. I know its hard to tell if its the progesterone or not, just worried about how tired and cramped I felt yesterday.

Thank you all for letting me crash.

[Arabsrcool]

Katie,

thank god you are all right. I was starting to panic for you!. Sorry you were so sick, but glad baby bean is well!

Claudia,

Hurray for 8. Your extra time on the meds did its job! See, it was worth it!. I will be thinking of you and you will be PUPO soon!.

Positive,

Hurray for your positive HPT! your preggers!

kittycat,

don't get too down until the beta comes back BFN. Cramping is not necessarily a bad thing. Try and stay positive!

afm, took another HPT this morning. 2 definite lines!. I do believe I am pregnant! Now I just have to stress about beta on Weds, hope for good #'s, but not too good (multiples????).

Ronda

[lou71]

Katie -- Thanks for checking in, I was worried about you! Sorry you were sick and glad it has passed now.

Ronda -- Yep... I'd definitely say you were PREGNANT! Congrats! Now let's see that good beta number.

AFM -- Wow... I guess I'm the last one of the February transfers to either have a beta or POAS. I honestly have no idea what my result will be. I don't feel "pregnant". In fact, all previous cramping has ceased as of Saturday evening and I feel pretty darn normal! Discussed with DH last night and we decided to definitely not POAS prior to the beta. I'm scared to death. Wednesday will be VERY difficult for me. Today isn't a good day either as it's the anniversary of my mothers passing today. I know she's with me in some way and will help me where she can. I am happy this board seems to be ending on a positive note with several recent BFP's. I hope I can officially close out the February girls with another positive since I believe I started it with a negative... boo! Time will tell. DH said last night... "we've had a total of 6 embies transferred (3 different times)... you'd think ONE of them would be good." For some reason, he has a good feeling about this. I hope he's right.

[Positivethinking]

Hi everyone...
Katie: thanks god you are okay. We were all worried about you... I guess you needed some rest Gald you are doing much better...I dont know about my job interview yet, there are doing a criminal background check so it might take 1 or 2 weeks until they find out I am a felon (just kidding ) Finger crossed...

Lou: You are so strong. I admire you. My mother is on a continent away, I only see her once a year but thanks god for phone and internet. Relax, I dont have cramps either or anything so dont give up hope....

Ronda: How many did you transfer. I transferred 2 and I really hope both stuck. I always wanted twins... We will see...Beta in Thursday....Are we there yet??

Kittycat: Hey girl, beta on thursday. Good luck.

Hope: I am not sure if you still check this forum but I wanted to ask about the shady grove schedule... Since we are on the same clinic, when was your second beta and u/s...Thanks

Dandme: Tomorrow is the big day.. cannot wait. I am sure everything will be fine and you will finally see the HB...enjoy this moment...

Claudia: Lining at 8 this is awesome.... whaoo you see what 1 week did, it was all worth the wait..good luck tomorrow with the last u/s before FET. You will be pupo soon...

Gi: how are you doing, this must be annoying not to get a blood test and wait for u/s...so when is the date for your u/s??? where you able to get off work for a few weeks...

AFM: I finally found out what AFM meant... gosh I can be so dahhh sometimes...Anyways... nothing for me. Looks like I am chaging from a night person ( in bed and 11pm or 12am and wake up at 9 or 10 am) to a morning person (woke up again at 5am this morning. ) it really sucks... i love sleeping in and since I am not working the day goes a lot faster if I wake up at 9am, not at freacking 5am.....Finally got some cramps, and back pain yesterday and really felt tired but today nothing at all. Still no sore boods. Okay I have an A cup, I always dreamt about getting big boobs if I got preggant... what are they waiting for to get bigger...
I am pretty excited but really trying not to get too excited...
Ohh I also wanted to thanks everyone for really aking me feel normal during this roller coster ride. no matter what happen next (good pregnancy or clinical or m/c or anything) you girls made me feel like it was okay to have all this weid feeling (happy, sad, depress). When I tought of myself as being week or drama queen or anything, it was always nice to talk to someone who really understood what I was going through. Okay I am getting way too emotional. Sorry. Anyway, thank you to all of you....
