Donnell- How are you doing? I hope the spotting has stopped. So sorry that you had to go through all that and even going to the ER but so glad that the baby is doing just fine. I will keep you in my prayers.

Faith- Glad you are still popping in to check on everyone. How are you?

Beth- Glad you're back! Now you have to start the countdown to AF- isn't it so annoying to want her to come so bad now and then not want her around at the end! I've been putting the patches on my lower back or abdomen but it was just so odd that the nurse said I could put them almost anywhere. But it sounds like everyone says they put them on their abdomen or back so I'll go with that- thanks.

Nothing too new with me...I'm just waiting for next Friday to come around to have one more ultrasound and hopefully my lining will cooperate so that our date will stay the 24th. Always something to worry about- right?!!

Hi girls - no one has been around in a while. I get on here and check every once in a while. Well I had an early NT scan today - I am 12w1d today and everything looked well so far. The baby's nuchal fold measured 1.2mm and the nasal bone was present. I have to wait for the blood work to come back.

I hope everyone else is doing well. Here are two of the pics. I hope they aren't too big. I will never figure out this photo thing.

Lots of love to you all!

Donni

Donnell- What beautiful pictures of your baby!!! Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear you are doing good and that your tests are coming back normal...I hope that last blood test comes out good too. It has been a little quiet on here. I'm just couting the days till next Thursday and they sure are dragging! And I know the 2ww days will drag even worse! Will continue to pray for you and baby. Take care, Laura

Hi!

Thought I'd stop in here to see how everyone is!!!
Donnell your pics are great!!!! Don't feel bad about the photo thing, it took me a long time!!! The bigger the better anyways with u/s pics because you can see more detail! I hope you're going good now, I read that you had a scare not that long ago! I can't believe your already past 12 weeks!!! Time sure flies!!!

Laura won't be long now...like less than a week!!!!!

You're both right, it's been pretty quiet in here lately...nothing new with me, just waiting for a/f it's taking forever. Then start the fabalous b/c pills...
Take care you guys!

Yay!! Donni!!
Beautiful pictures!!! Thanks for posting them.
I am so happy for you, and glad you made it thru your scare.

Laura, tick tock, this week will fly by. How many frosties are you thawing and implanting? Finally a nice day today, right? Did you take ds out and about?

This thread has been very quiet, nothing new with me, just waiting for AF to come...any day now, I feel it. 'ugg' and 'yay' at the same time. :lol:

later all...

Faith- How are you? Doesn't it stink to be waiting for af- she sure can take forever when you actually do want her!! I can't believe my FET is a week from tomorrow- I want the days to fly by...Friday I have an ultrasound and then I'll get to add in the wonderful PIO shots- can't wait!!!!

Beth- How are you? You're waiting for af too, huh? We're always waiting for something! We have 3 frosties so our doc recommended that we put the best rated one in alone the first FET and then if it doesn't work, we'll do another FET and put the other two in which are rated slightly lower. So we'll see what happens... Yes, I most definitely was out and about all day with ds- took a walk, went to the park, and enjoyed the nice awaited spring weather! Hope you enjoyed the day too with your dd.

Hi girls ~

Laura ~ How did the U/S go? Did you start your progesterone shots today? Hugs - I am thinking of you. Those are one of the things I DON'T miss.

Beth ~ So did AF show her ugly head. I know what you mean. Everytime I was starting a new cycle I would pray for AF but wish it would be the last time for her to show for 9 months.

Faith ~ How are you? Has AF showed for you yet? So where are you in your cycle?

I need dates ladies so I can keep up with you all. Now that things are starting to cook for you all, I am hoping you all keep in touch. We can start a new thread if you like.... April/May FET or something? Others might join but that would just mean more support for you guys. Or we can stay here so its easier to keep up with everyone. What ever, I just miss you all and don't want to miss your BFP's!!!

As for me, the blood work came back and for a 35 year old the results for downs is 1 in 248 or something like that and for trisomy it is 1 in 498 - after my blood work and scan my results dropped to 1 in 5111 for downs and 1 in 9000 something for trisomy. So things are looking good. I go for my cervical check next Friday.

Lots of love to you all!!!

Donnell

Donnell- Great to hear your blood tests came back so wonderful! You must be so happy. Are you feeling good? How far along are you now? Keep updating us. I'm good with whatever whether you want to start a new thread or keep this one going. My u/s was good- my lining was 10 something so that was good and ovaries quiet so I was happy. Started my PIO shots yesterday- I swear my husband pulled the needle out so quickly after he stuck me it was crazy! I don't enjoy those shots but I am glad to get my husband involved now since he has to give it to me every day. I'm pretty excited because our transfer is this Thursday already- it's coming up finally. Just hoping it will go smoothly and that I will be able to survive the days till my beta. It's not too bad, my beta will be May 6 so it's only 12 days- not quite a whole 2ww!!

Hey all!

It's your week Laura!!! I'm hoping good things for you!!! It's good you don't have to wait long until your beta day!! When I do FET's usually it's like 10 days since there's no hcg. Yay!!! May 6th will be a good day for you!

Donnell-hey there! Are you going to do the 3-d or 4-d ultrasound they have now?? Those are neat! I'm still patiently waiting for AF, taking forever. Today is CD46 sooooo yah maybe if I just stop thinking about it, it'll come!!! UGH!!

Beth did you and DH decide to go ahead with another FET?

Donnell I too think this is a great thread, I'd just keep it the same here and see how long it'll go on!! It's nice to have you still on here as well even though you've got your lil' one on the way!

Happy Sunday everyone!!

I broke my wrist as I was getting too clever and thought I could try a little trick, mmm will not do that again, that will teach me to act my age and not my shoe size. I am waiting for AF which I am hoping will come this week not sure how long it takes after miscarriage?? It will be 5 weeks this week.


Take care everyone! Missed you !!

Oh.... all my girls are coming back!!!! YAY!

OK... it is late here and I am exhausted, but I just wanted to check in.

Karen, Barbarella ~ Welcome back ladies. We missed you!

Faith ~ I like our thread too. I think you all should hang around. I know they have a Due in whatever thread.... but you are all my buddies. I don't know those peeps.

Laura ~ Sucky a la roo. I remember this last time around when my DH would give me a shot, sometimes I would just start crying. They were not fun for me. But anything to have our babies - right. Good luck Thursday if I don't get a chance to log on before then.

Beth ~ Hey there sunshine - how's it going!

Lots of love... and baby dust of course!

Hi all!

Nice to hear from you guys again, Barbarella and Karen! Wishing you both the best and keep us updated on when things are happening for you both.

Donnell, it definitely looks like everyone wants to stick with this thread- sounds good to me and we would all love to keep hearing how you are doing of course! Thanks for the good wishes!

I'm excited that my transfer is just a couple days away now! I'm not liking the PIO shots- they seem to make my butt a lot more sore than last time but as Donnell said, anything to have our babies! Will keep you all posted on how Thursday goes.

Hey guys,

Went for an U/S yesterday and I think my transfer date will be around the 8th May.
I found it quite hard going back to the hospital having not been there since the BFN.

Those pics are amazing Donnell!

Nearly there Laura!
Congrats Chrysty!

How is the wrist Barbarella?

Are you going to continue with the May/JUne thread aswell as this one Faith? I think I will

Good luck Beth - I think the waiting to start is almost harder than the 2ww

If I have forgotten anyone - sorry.

Take care girlies

Laura ~ GOOD LUCK TODAY!!! Praying for wonderful sticky little beans!!! Update us when you can, I am so excited for you. 2ww UGGGHH!!! Will you be testing??? You know me, POAS addict and resident POAS pusher. Of course I can wait if I have to. :)

Karen ~ Already have a transfer date. YAY! You are getting close. I can't wait until you are all PG! All of you darn it!

Everyone else ....hello!

As for me, believe it or not, I got pink eye. I don't know how I got it. I don't think I scratched my butt and then touched my eye, but you never know. LOL - that was a joke ladies. Always drama in my life... tomorrow is my appt with the perinatal doc. I'll check in later.
