Karenscorpio- CONGRATULATIONS on the BFP HPT!!!!!

[healingheart]

Hi ya ladies!

Welcome aboard Deedle, easley4, Carrie

KarenScorpio - Haleluja!! I'm so happy for you guys. Relish in your great news. Can't wait to hear your 1st Beta numbers.

Karenvancouver - You CRASH anytime you want. We miss you

Rio - Your message flair.....I LOVE IT LOL. I also love the calendar. It helps me keep (somewhat) up to date on where everyone is at.

Easley4 - I am in the same boat as you. We are a little behind everyone else but I decided to join this group of ladies because they are giving lots of great advice and.....well because they are just a bunch of neat gals whom I've already grown attached to.

AFM: I DID IT!! My first shot of Lupron down......a crap load more hormone shots to go. I was really nervous and watched my online video like 12 times LMAO. I shoved that needle in me like I wanted to poke someones eye out. Then I laughed cause it was really simple once the fear was gone. Sigh, I also took my 1st steriod and my husband is already making fun of me that we will be fighting for the shaving cream and face razor (he thinks I will grow black hairs on my face). I told him "um NO.....but I will get freakishly strong and kick your ass if you don't be nice to me". Atleast I haven't lost my humor...yet.

Love you all. We're having a blizzard here. They except ZERO degrees overnight by tomorrow. I could freeze my own embies and keep em in the snow it's so cold out. Nightie Night.

[MYIZZY]

Congrats Karen! I didn't buy any home tests....I did that the last time because I had some signs......this time I have no signs, and all I do is cry.....it's like I see a stupid commercial and can start balling......I went for my beta this morning......so now I'm once again balling.....and just waiting for the dam phone to ring....ugh......

[karenthescorpio]

Myizzy- hang in there. Down to a couple hours now! No symptoms mean nothing so keep up your spirits. My biggest suspicion was my nose was runny yesterday morning when I woke up. That happened a lot my last pregnancy. Thinking of you and sending positive beta vibes!!!!

[MYIZZY]

the last time, I would get up sometime between 3 & 4 am....to use the bathroom......and I had all the aches and pains I read about.......this time nothing.

[BlissfulCS]

Thinking of you this morning Myizzy and Jennieswa. GL!!!

[Readyandwaiting2010]

Hello everyone! I am trying to catch up on the news since I worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Congrats to all of those who are BFP and PUPO. My heart goes out to all of the BFNs. My first beta is scheduled Wednesday...so I'm trying to avoid the store, but it is real tempting to POAS! The thing that worries me is that in the beginning when I was doing the ovulation testing, my urine was too dilute to ever detect that I was ovulating. So I'm not sure if the pregnancy test will be the same or not. Decisions, decisions!

[margi26]

MyIZZY: Sending lots of prayers and baby dust your way...hang in there...no symptoms doesn't mean no BFP....

ReadyandWaiting: What willpower! No POASing for you either, huh? Or will you....

[blairwh58]

myizzy- Stay positive. Only a few more hours now. As for the symptoms I really dont think I would rely on that. Some people never have symptoms at all so keep your head up!

margi- Hows are things going with you? Have you become the mayor or crazytown yet?

readyandwaiting- You are very very strong for holding out so long. Only 2 days before your beta now. But if your urine was too dilute to pick up on the ovulation I would be hesitant to test just because you could be getting wacky results and freaking out for no reason.

healingheart- Congrats on your first Lupron shot!! The first time really is a mental game so it should be all down here from here. Good luck and keep us posted as things go.

rio- when is your beta#2 today?? Im anxious for your results. Cant wait to hear the good news.

Carrie- Welcome to the board...and the dreaded 2ww. When is your first beta? And are you going to be caving and POAS?

ladybugg- Woo hoo. Transfer day tomorrow!!! Try to stay relaxed.

AFM- I went in this morning for beta#2 and they told me to call back this afternoon to get the results. Even though Fridays # was good I am still beyond anxious to get todays back. It still feels surreal and Im worried something will end up going wrong. I also scheduled my first ultrasound for next Friday Dec 3. Will keep everyone posted once I call to get the beta#2.

[MYIZZY]

BFN, that was my last attempt. I will be praying for the rest of you! God Bless

[krisnjer]

Myizzy-- Oh no, so sorry to hear about your beta. Best wishes to you on your future journey wherever it may lead you.

[riogirl71]

myizzy - I am so sorry hun, lots of luck and love and I hope you can try again with us. Huge hugs

jenniewa- any news?

Blair - when is your #2 beta?

AFM - heading out for my #2 beta today, please God let the numbers increase normally, I am terrified of beta hell like my last cycle that ended in an ectopic pregnancy!!!

[cwehrs]

Well, looks like I'm out too. My one egg arrested over the weekend, so no transfer. I'm just so damned depressed. What the hell is the point to all this craziness if I don't even end up with ONE embro? RE suggested trying a "low responder protocol" next time around (if I can stand to go though all this again). Something about using Clomid and low-dose menopur, similar to an IUI cycle. Apparently the goal is that you will expect to have fewer eggs at retrieval but that supposedly by not "pushing" for more eggs the few you do get will theoretically be better quality. Any of you heard of this before? My worry is that I'll just be back in the same situation with only one or two fertilized eggs and then have nothing that makes it to transfer again.

[blairwh58]

myizzy- I am so sorry to hear it was a BFN. Try to keep your head up. Hope you keep trying and know it will work out eventually.

cwehrs- I am sorry that your embryo didnt make it over the weekend. I would definitely try switching up the protocol to see if something else is more effective for your situation. Seems to make sense that by not pushing your body to produce quantity you will end up with better quality eggs. Best of luck and keep us posted.

Rio- I had my 2nd beta this morning. I have 2 hours left of waiting until they told me to call back. Ive been sitting here at work all day going crazy. Every twinge or cramp I start to freak out thinking something is happening. Fingers crossed for high 2nd beta numbers for both of us. Let us know once you get the results!
