[quote="Supergenius"]Gina1976 - Thanks! Very cool your husband has the same name. My great-great-grandfather's name was James Clark. As a tribute, we gave our son the same name (but Clark is his middle name). Baby dust to you too!!!

Thanks, you too!! My husband is also from MD.

[Gina1976]

Maria- I didn't have it, thanks!! DH and I will take a look at it right away!! Thanks! Glad things have been going well.

Leora- I know! I started contacted them two months ago. They are horrible at getting back with patients and it's all a recording. So I ended up leaving my email since I knew they would never call. That still took them a while but glad it's done. Hopefully the mail is quick these next couple of weeks.

I hope you and your husband have a GREAT vacation!! You both DESERVE it SO MUCH!!

yeah.....in the age bracket I'm in it's 0/3 with two of the clinics I was looking in to. Think I'll cross them out.

[Happy Bunny]

Yeah Gena, I'd cross them off.

I'm such a freakin' mess...

A friend of mine on facebook posted pictures of her son's first birthday party. Usually, I have a really tough skin for stuff like this -- except we are friends (met online) because we lost our IVF twins at the same time in December 2009. Her second transfer after losing her twins worked, and now her son is a year old. I'm still trying to have my rainbow baby.... how nuts is that?

Then - I get home and there's a coupon in the mail for "The mother of Asaf Exxxn" for formula. GODDAMNIT. I thought I had called all these places to get my name OFF these damned mailing lists. I called again now to complain and of course broke down crying. I *KNOW* I'm going to get another coupon for "The mother of Micha Exxxn" in the next day or so... ****. I hate this.

Now, instead of doing anything productive tonight, I'm just going to open a bottle of wine and watch TV.

Sometimes I hold myself together so well (going shoe shopping with 2 friends and their babies tomorrow night) but sometimes I just fall apart...

[WeHaveHope]

Leorira-oh hon, I am so sorry. I wish I could say something or do something to take your pain away. Try to take sometime for yourself and do something you like. Please know I'm here for you always. Sending you a great big hug.

Todays beta 34! When bw was done at 8am i was technically 8 days and 17 hours! My tranfer was at 3pm!! Could this be why beta is a little low??? More bw tuesday!!

Leora, We're really missed you, the board has been kinda quiet around here! To clarify, no surgery for me was scheduled...Thankfully, never good with surgery of any kind or hearing about anyones surgery for that matter, I worry too much! . I know what you mean about some days being easier then others...I can never figure out why, but for most days... if we have time to prepares ourselves to around it- often we can handle it, but if it's something out of the blue, maybe unexpected- it takes us by surprise and it's so hard. Of course there is only so much we can take from our family/friends who have no idea what we're really going through! My mom called this morning to tell me about my brother's baby, (odd that I can handle talking to my BROTHER about his son, but MY MOM telling me is a whole different story.) I can understand my mom being worried about the baby's ear infections but she goes on and on telling me how proud she is of my brother being such a good dad to him. I seriously had to change the subject! I never understand why some people just don't think before speaking?

Gina, I never got to try many Atlanta restaurants while I was in Georgia...but it will be a special treat you and dh to look forward to AND always wanted to visit the new Aquarium, (your family will love this! ) I spent most of my time at Barnsley we lived 5 minutes away and purchased annual passes for $40 (very much worth it!) In the springtime, everything is in full bloom and as your walking around on some Saturday afternoons, you can sometimes watch weddings take place at "the ruins". (A mansion that was destroyed by fire during the Civil War, but the brick foundation still remains. Often during the week I would pack a lunch and Michael and I would spend the afternoon there. Near the barn/pond we would sit out in the aronback (msp) chairs and watch the sunset and our 2 dogs swim in the pond, as we sipped on Barnsley's sweet tea thinking life is good! I don't know if they still serve this famous sweet tea but it was the BEST ginger-peach tea and I would often purchase some from their gift shop. As you can tell dh and I absolutely LOVED BARNSLEY and feel it will become one of your favorite spots to visit as well. Glad you got to visit the website. oh speaking of the restuarants, dh and I celebrated our 8th anniversary at the RiceHouse and the butler does cater to your every need. Ha I cannot stop talking about this place even for a second... The experience was elegant with white linen tableclothes they offer 3 types of water upon arrival, had the lobster tail, delicious...all the herbs are selected right out of the gardens.

AlwaysAngel- I wish I knew, it sounds early to me but what all did your RE say? We're here for you every step of the way!

AFM: sorry sometimes my personals turn into a novel...tend to get really carried away! Working this afternoon...TTYT (talk to you tonight)!

[Gina1976]

Leora- I'm so sorry ((HUGS)) I get like that at times also. Sometimes I can see babies or watch TV/Movie with them and I'm fine, other times not so much! It def SUCKS!

Alwaysangel- Congrats on the number! Sounds good to me!! I don't know if that's low for the transfer date/time or not though, but I'm sure others can help.

Christy- I've been wanting to see the new Aquarium. My Dad went to take DS this past summer when he stayed with them a little longer than us but it was closed that day so they went elsewhere. So that's def on our list when we move back! Love the Cocoa Cola place too. Haven't been to the new one yet either. Dang it's been too long since I've been in GA. Can't wait until I'm back FOR GOOD!

[leorira11]

Christy - OOPS! That was Heather who posted on Facebook about surgery. What a bad brain-fart! Sorry!

[WeHaveHope]

Alwaysangel-congratulations!!! Whay did your RE say? I've seen many ladies with Betas on these boards starts out just like yours and turn out to have happy healthy babies. So unless your RE is concerned, I wouldn't be.

What is your opinion on this? This is our first and number one option. It just isn't local but in laws live about 3 hrs away.

[kerpupples]

More bleeding today. I've been put on bedrest and high fluid intake for the rest of the day. U/s and bloodwork have been moved up to tomorrow morning. Positive thoughts and prayers are much appreciated!

Personals tomorrow.

[WeHaveHope]

Gina-I was comparing the clinic you posted to the clinic we used snd their rates look pretty good. They are actually slightly better than my clinic's rates and I though those were good. Don't settle though, keep researching. Any other clinics your considering?

Kerpupples-I am so sorry about the bleeding. I know all to well hoe scary that can be. I actually had dark brown blood again today. Iys better than having bright red bleeding but scary non the less. However, my RE did confirm that this is quite common during the first trimester. Leave it to us to be part of the group, a's if things weren't complicated enough. Keeping you in my prayers. I'm sure everything is going to be just fine. Put your feet up and drink lots of fluids.

[kerpupples]

Thanks Maria. Feet up now and lots of water refills. Bleeding seems to be stopping but I've passed 2 medium sized clots. I forget, were you seeing any clotting? Sorry you had to see more blood, even if it was brown.
