Looking Good Maria! I'm one to wait for beta results but seeing these makes me want to jump up and down!

[WeHaveHope]

Sunshine-thanked. As you know, out problems have come a week or two after very strong initial Betas. So, although today may be a milestone, I am looking forward to having an uneventful next few weeks. That may help to make me feel better.

I feel so much compassion on this board, really we have a great network of friends here, I wish we could share a cup of coffee together and I hope someday WHEN we do bring home our babies we can still be this close.

Leora, I commend you for going to see her at the hospital today, I know it can't be easy- but she will see how thoughtful you geniunely are. Sometimes best friends, as close as sisters even, can feel like it's all about a big competition, however I still feel she needs to treat you with respect and give you moral support. Afterall, you need friends who lift you up, not bring you down. Most of all you can't let her get to you- you deserve better then that. At some point you may need to let her know how you feel, even sometimes a break away might be the best thing since it's sometimes hard for others to understand this journey and If she is want to be a good friend she will come around. But you shouldn't feel guilty, it's not your fault. xoxo

Leora- you are a stronger women than I am. I couldn't have continued being friends with someone like that. Now, on the other hand, it doesn't bother me to see babies or anything, so I would totally be ok goimg to the hospital, but I stl think your friend is a jerk.
Lyd- I know what you are feeling. I only got 2 betas and then hd the ultrasound after a horrible 2 ww....all without any real symptoms. I got sick once during that wait, but other than that, nothing. I just started getting nauseous on a regular basis this past week amd tomorrow I will be 8 weeks. And honestly, I am thinking the only reason I am feeling is because of my stomach.surgery I had a year and a half ago. So, everyday I wonder if I am still pregnant, etc. so, hang in there.

Hi ladies. Trying to relax my big bundle of nerves over the weekend, so I stayed away from the board. Given what my RE told me about how quickly my embies might implant, I've been POAS every day since the transfer. All BFNs. I know it's still early, but I can't help but be a bit discouraged. Plus I wasn't thinking and ran to catch the bus this morning. When I realized it all I could think was, what if I just blasted the poor embryo out of my lining?

Maria - can't wait to see that beta today!

Lyd - so many women don't get nausea. I didn't get much at all when pregnant with DD, and what I had didn't show up until 8 weeks or so. I'm in agreement that your emotions are a good sign that things are probably OK. I cried at the stupidest things while PG!

Leora - I'm on the same wavelength as Ninde about your "friend", though I wouldn't have been quite so diplomatic about it. She sounds like a fair weather friend at best, and toxic at worst. I hope she is kind to you when you go see her tonight.

Hey Ninde - why no photos overseas? My clinic didn't take the pic I posted but DH did and the clinic actually suggested it.

I'm experiencing quite a bit of cramping and som lower back pain. This is what I had with the 1st MC but a bit more intense. I peat this is not the case this time.

[Happy Bunny]

We: With my first pregnancy I had cramping that was kinda like period cramps the day of my beta.

[WeHaveHope]

Bright red bleeding started. What can I possibly say.

[kerpupples]

Maria - call your RE! Praying for you. Lots of bright red bleeding here that ended up being OK.

WE - I am so sorry! yes please call your RE. maybe its just a clot next to the pregnancy - which happens often and can get resolved with some bedrest

LauraN - how are you doing? have you adjusted to the idea of one rather than two? you can focus on the positive - one is less risky. thank you for sharing your nausea experience with me - every bit helps. it is so hard to keep a perspective when it is you as opposed to someone else.

kerpupples - how many days post transfer are you today? it is still quite early. and in a frozen cycle embies dont get going right way. dont worry about running after a bus. the embies are in there for good now. you cant shake them out!

Leora - i hope your visit to the hospital was tolerable!

AFM, i am happy its Monday. i am at work. not as busy as i thought. but i have some pants to return to Ann Taylor - which i will do over lunch.

[WeHaveHope]

I left work and I am on my way home. I will call my RE once I get home. Its tough to say but maybe it's just not meant to happen for us. I don't even think I was surprised when I got the cramping, lower back pain, and then saw the blood. Sad to say, I dont even have tears to cry anymore. I'm just so used to this happing which is very disturbing to me that I could become accustomed to having MC's.

[Happy Bunny]

We: No, No, No... Damn it. I hate that this is happening to you.

[WeHaveHope]

Thank you ladies. I'm home now and left a message for my RE. Obviously at this point, there is no Beta number high enough that us going to make me feel good about this. I'm not bleeding like the first MC or the second MC but that really doesn't mean much to me. I know there are so many reasons I could be bleeding but given my history it's hard to think of any other reason. I am going to lay down and take a nap. Thank you all again.
