Just a few more personals before I head off to lala land:

babyluv: sorry that you had to miss Disney, but you got to see Dwight Howard! How cool was that?? My husband would’ve passed smooth out! LOL I know the celebrities just want to have dinner, but some kind of way, I would’ve ended up in at least one photo with him!
rlk1: That transfer date is rolling up fast! Can’t wait to see how well things go for you!
TammyS: Don’t you just love it when AF comes early! That puts you another day closer to your goal!
As for the negativity that has been added to our board, we can do without it! Ignore it ladies and let’s keep it positive. Man it sucks to see such nasty things!

AFM I’m still loving AF, lol….one day down!
Me 33, one tube removed the other blocked. Daughter born 2002. (M/C 2005)

Not that it makes a difference but I have had 7 failed IUI's, 3 failed IVF's and 3 failed FET's... and ZERO CHILDREN... and yes I am going to be undergoing treatment again in the summer, so yes, I know a thing or two about what I am talking about... I am entitaled to my opinion that secaly gives IVF a bad name, and this is a public forum, and if I choose to post my percepation of someone based on their own actions and they're own words, I will do so...

These are the exact words of secaly back in July 2009...

"I just got my Integrated Prenatal Scrrning (IPS) results back and they are positive at 2:3 chances to have a Down Syndrome baby. So since I don't think I can raise a downs baby I was wondering if any of you knew where I could find a forum or group or place where I might find couples who would want to adopt a baby with desability. I found some in the US but since I am from Canada it might be easier to do an adoption here in Canada. My husband is not decided yet but I think if I find a nice couple I might be able to convince him. He doesn't want to do the amnio test cause it can cause miscarriage and if its a healthy baby I would die... Just wondering if groups like that exists?thanks. Helene"

"My baby might have DS because it is ours... It was NOT IVF... unfortunatly our IVF Cycle failed in October 2008 and I knew I could get pg on my own so why pay... We were doing IVF with DE just so we would NOT have a Donw's Syndrome child... boy the ods were way lower then that in my head but yes at 44 my ods were high... I though my husband wouldn't mind the adoption if we found a good family but he seams to mind? Its just me who doesn't seam to be ready to raise a ds child... maybe I am wrong... I so dreamed of a sweet little newborn baby cute and cuddly... and I don't know now I am not exited about the pg anymore...If my dh agrees I will try and do the amnio just to be sure ... who knows maybe its a healthy child and I don't have to go that route.... Thanks again everyone. Helene"

"Now regarding my children and their thoughs of me about this... this is the hardest one... If I don't put my child up for adoption it would be for them cause even if I can explain it to them now later in life I think they would hate me... and they would be right... so yes I am not sure... I might also fall in love with my baby who knows... I never saw a ds baby only adults really and older children and I am just not sure I am ready for that"

A wolf in sheeps clothing is still a wolf....

I posted a LONNNGGGG post before and when I went to check on it-there is no record of it :evil: :evil: I will just re-cap a few personals and do more later....

First off-I am not going to address perturbed but rather Helene....what I have learned this past year is to NOT judge what anyone is going through nor their personal beliefs so with that being said you have my 100% support in being here and there is no need in my eyes to justify your being here. I'm sure finding out you were pregnant with a child with DS was very difficult and you should NOT have that thrown in your face. This is a forum for us to speak our inner most feelings/secrets/thoughts/etc and I really hope that you just ignore this woman. We all desire to have a family whether that is 6 children or 1 and she should not take her emotions out on you.

Kim-I am rooting for LUKE!!!! I have everything crossed he joins Hans and Solo and I totally get the scaryness of being canceled but I'm chanting "GO LUKE, GO LUKE!!"

AFM...unfortunately still sick with this terrible head cold. I tried the netti pot this morning and it was a disaster!!! My left sinus is so clogged that the solution didn't go through my passage and clogged up my ear!!! Not taking meds is hard but I'm trying to kick it by napping and drinking tons of fluids!! I go in tomorrow again for an SnS and fingers crossed my numbers stay high and I don't start spotting. I am going to hold out till Thursday to POAS but I'm not convinced I won't break down tomorrow!!!! xoxox

Claudia – sorry to hear of the head cold. The cold is probably due to the increase in progesterone. I bet you, you are pregnant. I had that with all my pregnancies when my progesterone increased. Look at the adverse events for progesterone and you will see what I’m talking about. But, I think it is safe to take Sudafed for it. Not, that it did any good for me but my head cold soon passed.

Perturbed – Yes, you are entitled to your opinion but please don’t bring that drama here! We have all been through so much in our lives and I know I don’t need anything else. Take this time to be positive instead of full of hatred because I am sure positive things will happen in your life! We are all adults and we need to treat each other with respect. You might not agree with everyone’s decisions but you need to respect them as a human being.

Misocial – thanks for the update. I can’t wait to start stims on Friday … whoo hoo

Latrell22 – I am glad AF is here for you. I am waiting for her to arrive either tonight or tomorrow!!!

Babyluv- I love the dinner last night … that sounds like fun!! I was just in Orlando in February for a business meeting. We stayed at the Gaylord Resort so I was able to have a little fun before I jumped back in to IVF and all of the medications if have to take to get ready for the transfer!!

Rlk1- whoo hooo … transfer on Thursday huh? I am sure that your embryo will be fine. I am happy we are both in the same boat as far a the number to transfer that way we can be compare notes … lol!

Helene – all I can say is thanks for sticking around. We all are coming from different places in our lives but we all have an ultimate goal to have a beautiful baby! It hasn’t worked out for every lady on this thread (I know this as well as anyone as I lost my daughter) but I don’t think that you should be target of hatred because of your previous experiences.

Tammy – I am glad AF started for you today … my retrieval will probably be the same week as your transfer and my transfer will probably happen the week after you. So we will be very close with our calendars!

If I missed anyone else, I am sending much love to you!! :)

Angela

I am so sorry you are feeling so out of the woods... how long do you have to go on without taking any medication? This must be terrible. So don't worry about tomorrow POAS I will do it for you... :o

Again thanks for everything.

Thanks Angela, I can imagine that going through what you girls are going through is very hard... even more then you are so close and it's gone all of a sudden. I only had a mc and I thought it was the end of the world then... but being in your girls shoes I would be devastated. You girls are very strong and you deserve the best by trying and trying and keeping the spirith after it all.

You will make it one day girls you will and I will keep on praying for you all and your kindness.

Hello all,
Well it's tues evening here in cold Kansas. I skipped a pain pill in an attempt to clear my head and wake up !!!!! I have spent the last 2 days asleep,hot packing my bobo,eating so i could take a pain pill, and sleeping, did I mention that already? The hours are running together....must get to board............... Well I took the last BCP yesterday hahahahahashaha so my AF continues though not heavy becausse I sent alot of it out to a few of you. I appreciate all the warm wishes and hopes for no cancellation, that is my biggest fear at this point. This is the time I can feel it, I have psyched myself up as a board we are off to a great start. Yea !!!! I got my BIAB today so thats a big PMA booster.
Ladies I have to say how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. I know that if my PMa is running low, I can stop in for a fill up. To anyone not in our shoes a message board sounds boring and a hassle, but to us.... to me...some days it's my lifeline. For that I thank you.
I am on the mend, fully expect a good report tomorrow and Friday (SnS) and to be able to start stims Friday. Work is most likly not pleased as I still fully intend to take off a week for ER/ET. I am thinking only of my health and will do what ever I can to increase our chances of conception.
Must add to grocery list: pineapple,sweet potatoes....

Personals after nap,
Hugs to all,
Marci

****Thread Crash****

Hi girls! I logged on to see when Claudia's beta was going to be and whether she's POAS yet. I know it's coming soon! But I need to say a BIG congrats to miner_79, Rayofsunshine, and heekinje for their BFP's! This board is off to an AWESOME start!!!!

I'm stalking many of you as I either cycled with you in Nov/Dec or Jan/Feb. Keep up the PMA ladies... believe it WILL happen, because it CAN. And don't pay any attention to the Debbie Downer posts. No one needs that.

Best wishes to everyone! I'm still very early in my pregnancy and so far feeling great. I'll get to see the heartbeat on Mon 3/29, I can't wait!

Wow, it took me quite some time to get through today's posts....I had to take notes!!! Well here goes, please forgive me if I forget someone!!

lauren - how exciting you get to FET sooner than thought! You never hear the phrase soon than thought in IVF...way to go!!!

Marci - I don't even know what to say!!! I feel so terrible for you - what an ordeal you've been through. I'm glad to hear you are doing better though. I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way to start stims on Friday. YOU WILL NOT GET CANCELLED!!!

Dr. Boots - conrats on starting stims!! You are almost there! How's it going for you?

Babyluv - March 24th will be here before you know it - you going to POAS?? I agree with Marci - there will be no shopping for you because you will get a BFP!!!

Supergenius - you are now 2dp6dt!! When is your beta again? Congrats on being PUPO!!!

Franny - I haven't seen up yet - not sure if I'm going to any time soon after reading everyone's reactions on this board! Is it worth watching???

Sara - Ok, so I went to betabase.info because I was a little suspicious of your beta at 14dpo (days past ovulation/retrieval)...you are above the median for twins!! It doesn't mean you will have twins for sure but your chances are very good!!! Congrats - either way you have a very strong beta. I'm sure your beta tomorrow will be great as well - I can't wait to hear what it is!!

Bei - welcome back!! we missed you on here! I'm glad you took some time to decompress....what are your plans going forward?

latrell - congrats on AF coming!! Keep us posted on your stimms...

rlk- is it Thursday yet???? I'm sending very positive thoughts your way! Your little embie will make it just fine and will get nice and warmed up after ET. Let us know how it goes!

tammy - congrats on AF! April will be here before you know it - hang in there and fill your mind with LOTS of PMA :)

hopeforbabies - grow follies grow!! you'll be pupo before you know it!! next week will be here in no time!!

AFM, my beta is on Friday at 18dpo. My clinic does not do a second beta for strong first betas but I'm going to ask for a second if my first one is good. I've decided waiting 2 weeks for my u/s is just too long not knowing if things are going well. As far as symptoms go, I'm incredibly tired for parts of the day - the rest of the day I'm just moderately tired. I pee a lot - i think this is partially due to early preg. symptoms and to my intake of fluids. I'm constantly drinking something. I also have this weird symptom - let me know if you've heard of this before because I have not. I had this with my DD as well - my forehead is very sensitive to hot temperatures. I can't hold my face in the stream of a hot shower, in front of a hot oven or grill. It gets worse as time goes by too....very odd. I didn't notice it until later in my pregnancy last time. Maybe I was looking for it this time.....Well I hope everyone has a great night and a great day tomorrow!!

xoxo,
