Hi Everyone,

I am so awful at keeping track of names and happenings, coupled with the fact that I dont come onto the board that often. Sorry. :(

I am nearing the end of my 2ww. I have my blood draw on 2/4. I am so worried, it will be a BFUglyN! I haven't felt ANY symptoms. Unlike my last IVF--I swear I felt every little thing! I guess it may due to the fact that I am not on PIO shots and am having to use the Progesterone Suppositories; one word: Gross! But at least I am not driving myself crazy experiencing all the symptoms of the PIO going thru my whole body.

My breast do not hurt as much, and the cramping in my uterus as stopped, sometimes I swear that Bi&%* --AF is coming any day. I am have dull headaches and am super tired, but that pretty much is it. I am not inclined to POAS; esp since it only showed a positive line in one time out of my 4 earlier pregnancies.

I had two grade 1AA Blasts put back, none of the remaining embbies made it to freezeable station (15 fertilized 19 eggs retrieved)

Either way, this is our last attempt at this baby making journey. I think of you ladies often and hope all your baby wishes come true.

God's Speed,

Kat

Kat,

Good luck on your 2ww. Don't worry about not feeling symptoms. I did not feel anything when I was first pregnant with Andrew.

GarfieldTracy: It is good to hear from you.

Renee: Thank you for the info. on RESOLVE. I do not think I will attend these meetings, since I am OK if I do not have another baby. I have my Andrew which is a blessing from God.

Take care all,
Tammy

:x I POAS agains my better judgment! I took it late in the morning around 10ish...I'd gone to rest room a couple of times before that event and it was a BFN! Like I said before, with all my other pregnancies oony 1 out of the 4 actually showed a positive. Hell, I kept taking the pill for another month with my first false negative...YIKES :shock:

I am hoping that I am one "those" who still get a BFP from my beta after getting a BFN! Still no symptoms other than the hot flashes then chills, dull headaches and I am pretty much usless after I make dinner and do homework (8:30 pm) However, all those "signs" could easily be attributed to the progesterone suppositories (did I mention how gross those things are!!!)

I am so hoping to give my husband a baby of his own. He says all the right things which makes it worse sometimes. Everytime we pray he prays for a baby. I just want to burst into tears! This will be our last try. I want to thank everyone on this board for being such a great support system. While obsessing I have visited many boards and there are some pretty mean ppl out there! :twisted: YIKES! I am so glad I have not experienced any of that kind of ugly.

So ladies/soulsisters Heres to all the baby dust I can throw your way.

Thanks again. I will let you know what my beta is tomorrow. Hopefully it is good news!

later,

kat :lol:

Thanks Gals,

Now I await the dreaded phone call. Part of me wants to ignore it and have it go striaght to voice mail the other part wants to ans the phone before the 1st ring ends. What does one say when they receive the bad news---"oh thanks" fffftt! I am sure you all can relate, time moving super fast, yet at the same time it moves like pond water!

I just want this day to be over. Either way. Thanks again.

love,

Kat,
Soooooo sorry. I really wanted this for you. Don't worry about crying - I am doing it for you right now. Today was my due date for Pookey (m/c in July) and I really, really wanted to hear GOOD news today. I was praying this worked for you. I know it SUCKS big time. Try and be strong! If, I know you said this was your last try, but if you do try again - OR get PG naturally - please tell us!!
