Heart’s Desire – Finding Strength and Direction from God

[hrobinson]

Sonu- Thank you for your quick reply. I realize that June 9 is not that far away. If we go by school days, it will be here in exactly 47 days. My kids look at everything in school days.
I just worry about why my dr. isn't checking levels of anything, lining, nothing. Of course I must admit I have never had an FSH (I think that's what you guys have been talking about) test done, and I have never had my lining checked.
Is it not so weird how all our dr.'s seem to do things a littel differently.
I will rely so much more on you guys once it gets even closer.

As far as my kids, I would love to take the credit. However, I told them if they do what I tell them, and believe in themselves, they will be successful. THey didn't believe me until they got the results. Thanks for saying I am a good teacher though.

When exactly are you going to be testing? Will you POAS before hand?
Praying for you and your sticky embies. Just remember to stay positive.

HOPE--
WAITING FOR YOUR BETA NUMBERS!!


CHRISS---

Will be thinking of you on Wedenesday!!! Praying for a blessed report.
I like your bottom line----Not giving up!! Thumbs up!!!

hROBINSON
I might POAS, not sure. My past experiences don't encourage me though. But something in me tells me that this is my time.

Hugs to all...

Apdean/Alisha -



I'm so happy for you, sweetie!!!!! That's excellent news! I can't wait to update the prayer list!

[Hope644]

Hello Dear Sisters -

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Ours was good. A few minor moments with one DSS, but over all, a good time.

Chriss - Hope everything goes well with the hystercopy tomorrow. I'm sure it will be fine. Let us know. Praying for you! OH, and I LOVE, love, love your new signature!!!! Awesome!

Sonu - How you feeling hon? I'm glad you decided to wait on work... one less thing, right? I wish I could take off my whole tmt and pg too!! haha! Like I can focus on work now anyway! Keep up that PMA, girlfriend!!!!

Nikki - I'm glad you're keeping up PMA even with the delay. I know it's disappointing, but you're right to look at the positives in the situation! And you want it to be as right as it can be when they do it! I was confused when I read about the estrace - like Sonu, I take it orally too - 2x a day - have since the ER - made me go check my instructions!! ( did i take these the wrong WAY?! Nope, i'm good! whew!)

Indie - WOW - you've got a lot going on - and then u and chriss trying to decide on traveling or staying in the area - that's a lot added to your tmt! But I'm glad you guys have good REs - that's the important thing! Hope you don't have to postpone or delay - but, His timing is perfect! Let us know how the big appt goes this week!!!

hrobinson - WOO HOO!!! So glad the kids got such excellent scores!! That's fantastic news! Praying those few can catch up too! Thanks for your prayers for DSS's mom - being a teacher, I bet u do see that more than you'd like. FET is right around the corner, my friend!!!! I wish I could give advice, but unfortunately, I've never had any embies to freeze - Praying all the best for you tho! And you've got tons of help from the FET girls on here!!!

Well - I have some good news to share! PRAISE GOD!!!!

My first beta (19dpo) is 1700!!!! I'm very pleased! For my last BFP, my first beta was 18dpo and 521, so I'm very happy with the jump!

I told DH today, finally - and he's happy (but more relieved that he didn't have to console me!) I understand tho, he's not one to jump up & down plus, he's cautious given our M/C -doesn't want to get too excited. Well, he can do what he likes, but I'm celebrating!!!! The way I see it, every positive step is a blessing and I'm going to enjoy them all!!! It's not like I'm going to be MORE heartbroken if I M/C again just because I got excited! So why not enjoy the moments and PRAISE GOD for the blessings He brings!!!!

YAY...what a GREAT Beta!!!! How many did you transfer again? Chance of twins???

I'll be praying for you!

Just a note, the FSH test isn't back yet but the Estradiol? test came back and it was 55....so looks good. YAY!

I will let everyone know how Thursday goes, although I'm guessing that the SA will not have results until Friday or so. I'm thinking positive thoughts for the saline ultrasound though....praying there is nothing abnormal in there

[nicaliw]

YAY Hope...your numbers look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you transfer more than one, I can't recall?????

[Hope644]

Hey ladies

Thanks!!!

I transferred 2 perfect little embies! I know the betas can't be relied on for counts - but I am hopeful there are 2 sticky embabies in there hanging on!!

1700 for 19dpo is well within range of both singletons and multiples... so it can go either way...

[waitingforMia]

I'm feeling a bit dissapointed today....I had a lining check this morning and my lining is 7.6 mm. They said it should be 8mm, so I'm thinking it would be OK cause thats only a difference of 0.4mm. Turns out I have to postpone my transfer date to April 10th and add estrace in the meantime. I know it doesn't sound like much to delay things by 10 days but its still very dissapointing since I went through such a bad time waiting so much longer than most do for my beta to drop. I feel like I almost reached my goal then something else got thrown in to make me wait longer.
I do take comfort in knowing that HE has it all planned out and this is obviously the right timing and there must be some reason I am supposed to keep waiting like this. I know I'm a little ahead of things but one good thing is my due date would be December 30th instead of December 20th. Since I had my first child on Christmas Eve it does feel better knowing the due date is after Christmas. Oh, another positive for the delay is that my transfer will now be after our 1st anniversary, which is nice cause we were going to be on a period of abstinence otherwise.
Ho hum....I guess there's always some positive to draw from every situation.

Nic: Great job looking at the positives - Hey I know one day delay is aggrevating, so no need to explain your angst. But great job keeping up the pma - His timing is perfect!

[waitingforMia]

Dear all

I have almost completed my 72 hours after transfer successfully (HE knows !!) I am just telling myself again and again that its going to work this time. I know its early to have any symptoms, but I am having cramping and back ache. I hope its implantation. This time its different from other times because of FET. The ovaries are not stimulated and uneasy, so its different uneasiness. I hope its positive, just keeping my PMA.

I have decided that I will not join any work now, I don't want to risk this at any cost.

.

Glad everything went well. And good for you for not working - just rest up and enjoy this time I bet it is a different feeling - my left ovary STILL has a cyst from the meds! Ugh - sounds nice not have all those meds in you.

[waitingforMia]

Ladies!

Im pregnant, I got a BFP on my pregnancy test!!!!!!!! The lines on the test are so dark!!!!! I will be doing my Beta Tuesday or Wednesday, I have to call my doctors office and let them know I got a positive!!!!!! God is so amazing!!! Now I have to see if there is more than one like my twin sis kildean!!!

Congrats Alisha!!! Praise God what a blessing that you and your sis get to share this time together!!! SO happy for you.

[waitingforMia]

hrobinson - WOW so happy for you and your kids!!! No doubt you had a huge part in it - you covered them in prayer!!! The kids are blessed to have you! I cant help you on what to expect with a FET = but I can help take you and hubby out to eat when you are in town - when is that again?? I will be out of town May 23-June 15.

Hope: Praise God on your strong numbers - man I think our dhs are twins. When I told him you would have thought we tried fro the first time to get pg!! He was like: really wow... the end!! But you are right they are just different - but it shouldnt stop you from jumping up and down. ENjoy every second of it - whether it is here for a brief time or not - it is a blessing!!!

Indie: Wow - you are really moving along with all the tests now. Are the older kids able to watch the younger ones when you have to go to the dr appts??

Well girls I know I have been away a while - I have been really busy with work. Also - I have two interviewsthis week for a full-time position at a college - one in our city - one near Houston where we would like to live. Also remember the consulting I do and how my boss wanted me to take over the business - I met with her today and she was asking me about it again!! Wow too many choices!!! Praying that God gives me wisdom and peace.

Everything else is going well - sleeping a lot (when I can).

Dear Sisters

WISHING YOU ALL A WONDERFUL MORNING.

HOPE-

Just got up and read your wonderful beta number.

WOW!!! so exciting. PRAISE LORD!

YAY... its time to celebrate, enjoy every moment of it.

MIA -

Wow!! you have so many choices. May God help you to choose a job which will be best for you and your cutie beanie!!

At my end, things are slow as they are in 2ww So many different things are happening in my body, some same as last 2ww but some are different too. And I can definitly feel some activity going on in my lower abdominal area. So, I am 'cautiously optimistic' although I know it can be hormonal and progesterone play but I would like to think the other way.


Prayers and hugs for all

[chriss]

Congratulations apdean! Great news from you.

Hope, Beta sounds terrific!!!

Hey Sonu, yes it is tricky with al of the things we feel. Us IVFers become very sensitive to each and every twinge. Keep up the PMA.

Hello to everyone, just checking in. -chriss
