Hello Lovely ladies,

Hope everyone is doing great!

Pumma – only a couple of days to go. I am sending lots of positive thoughts your way. It would be such a wonderful holiday gift to you and your family to get your BFP.

Doreen – I am still hosting AF too – well not really AF, what my RE calls breakthrough bleeding. My RE said that it would stop once I start stimming.

Melissa – Have a wonderful trip. I really hope you get your BFP. Please keep us posted.

All the girls in 2ww, hang in there, sending you lots of baby dust.

Everyone else, thinking of you. It is Sunday before x-mass and I have to go to work – yuk! At least it keeps my mind off IVF..

Xoxo

Hey everyone,

I wanted to take a minute and post to wish everyone a wonderful holiday.

I am sure the next couple of days will be hectic for everyone, which I am kind of happy about, since I can not get the beta on wednesday out of my mind. I am making myself crazy with the hpt's. Of course I have taken each one with a grain of salt, knowing very well that they are probably not accurate, but at this point I can't help but wonder.

I have had nothing but bfn's and I am now 12dp 3dt. I am doing everything in my power to take only one per day. I guess it is driving me really nutty because I know that if Tuesday were not Christmas, then I would be doing my beta on Tuesday. I would think that should mean my hpt's should start showing positive soon. The one thing that is really keeping me optimistic is that I have had no spotting or sign of AF yet. I would think that if I was not preggers that AF would be showing up anytime now, so I still have hope....a lot of christmas hope! Of course my emotions are out of whack, which still gives me hope too.

Everyone enjoy your Christmas and please pray for me and dh. Baby dust to you all!

Hey Ladies,
I know I told ya'll before there was no scheduled 2nd beta for me cuz it was so high. However, I requested a second beta to make sure it was rising and developing properly. I was granted my request and the results for my beta's are as follows:

#1 Beta = 1,442
#2 Beta = 4,930

Woooohooooo! LOOKIN' GOOD! I fall right into the 5th week range.
My only symptoms are an occasional ache in my right boob and I'm really really tired.

Have A Merry Christmas everyone, and God Bless you ALL.

Pumma,
Prayers and Baby dust all over you, for a BFP tomorrow

Washingtonda,
LOL yep some great numbers! Only 2 were transfered though so I don't expect three. Did I ever mention they were my last two frozen and that they were not the best grades (I think one was B,C and the other C,D). It's a Christmas Miracle :lol: . I sure hope that won't be reflected in School grades later on in life LMAO.

hey everyone,

So as you all know I have been going hpt crazy! I am now only 2 days away from beta (technically one since if tomorrow weren't christmas that would be my beta). I had a really rough night last night, very upset about all of the negative results. I figured by this point I would have seen a positive. I took another test this morning around 7, and again negative.

Then my dh read something interesting online. It said that a lot of people assume that first morning pee is the best, but actually, if you drink alot of liquid at night (which I do) and wake up really needing to go bad (which I do) that your urine might be diluted. It reccomended waiting a few hours and not drinking anything. So I decided to do it. I took another hpt at 12, and I could not believe my eyes, a very faint line! I know i still have to wait and see if it gets darker tomorrow, but this is the first glimmer of hope we have had. Everything I have read says even a very faint line is a positive. This is definitely the pick me up I needed after last nights sob fest. I will keep you guys updated, and please keep praying for me!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

oh pumma - I am sooo sorry, my heart goes out to you. I wish this could be easier somehow.

Your baby is out there somewhere, this just means that it is not your time yet. We have to have faith that there is a bigger plan for all of us that just trust that faith.

I wish I could give you a hug right now. I do hope you find a way to celebrate the holidays this year and don't let this bring you down.

xoxo
