Indigo-if I'm correct, your Beta is today. I'm saying a prayer for you that you getthat BFP you deserve.

Sunshineandstars-thinking of you. I hope all is well. Have you had another Beta? Praying that the numbers are strong.

Hi Everyone!
Sorry I have been MIA and away!

Catherine, I'm extending you a warm welcome here! I look forward to getting to "know" you and you will find so much support here, these girls are amazing!

Leorira, I hope you enjoy your weekend beach get-away, with lots of R&R! Next week you'll have to tell us more about your new job, I know it will be good for you!

WeHaveHope, Too funny but I don't do well with critters either. Yesterday as I was having breakfast with the girls at work, I saw a cockroach run across the stockroom floor and made the biggest commotion yelling and carrying on. Someone squished it with their shoe, and but we couldn't let it keep runnning around. Not sure with is worse rats or roaches, hmmm it's a toss-up but i would RUN if I saw a rat for sure!

Adkelp, Still praying for you and I know those poas can drive anyone insane, I know you cannot wait to make this official news, we cannot either! Congrats on your new family member, Isabel your new cat sounds like she will fit right on it!


More personals coming soon, must get some breakfast before heading into work more OTJ training... On the side I'm working on AnnaBelle's halloween costume. She came over last night and I draped her in japanesse fabric attempting to make a kimono, maybe I can post pictures? She asked if she could wear it this Saturday night to our party, lol. As I was sewing we talked about her wedding around 15 years from now lol (she's only 9 now)...so She said what if I got married at 21 so we could have wine at the wedding? After some fajitas for dinner we shared a few oreos together. She wanted to try OREOS with cream cheese icing and then we got out the peanut butter- which was actually pretty good, she's so creative and so many times she tells me she feels like part of my family, even though she's my neighbor, she's everything to me. So about the party, I am trying to find an AMAZING gumbo recipe for this weekend's block party. Gumbo I hear is pretty hard to make, but someone I work with is supposed to bring in her grandmother's authenic recipe today. I might need a backup plan.

Hi everyone!

Akdelp-
Congratulations on the second line mama!!! A faint line is still a line! I am SO happy for you!!! wish you great beta numbers!


Catherine-
Welcome to our board! What a terrible thing to happen to your cycle! I cannot believe it! did you have your WTF appointment to get some answers? ! I wish you all the luck in the world for your upcoming cycle. you are a few days away from starting stims and a month away for your BFP! Be positive!


Wehavehope-
Beautiful quotes again my friend! All the good things we want to hear. thank you! 2 more days for you girl and you are going to be PUPO!


Kamina-
I do hope all 5 embies are good! Sorry to ask but why you want to do the PGD test? ...I am sorry about your dad and hope things get better for him. Miracles happen everyday!... to answer your question, social media are organizations such as facebook and twitter. People and organizations can communicate with each other. So marketeers can take advantage of that....even though there are A LOT going on there are no actual vacancies right now in my part of the world. I am patiently waiting. Any day now a job will show her face. I am confident about that...patience, patience, patience....so how was your first PIO shot!



Fvrogers-
hang in there girl! 2 more days for you and you are getting your BFP! How about POAS today?! Hmm?


Lauren319- Ouao! I am So happy for your sister! That must have been shocking for her! In a good way of course! Thing is, I do hear and know cases myself about conceiving naturally after IVF treatments but I guess it all end ups on every couples history of WHY doing IVF in the first place. for us this to happen will be the miracle of all miracles of miracles ever! Since my DH has a sperm issue with only dozens instead of billions and since once all doctors told us that there is no way in the world for us to be able to have a baby without performing ICSI/IVF, I don’t see how IT can happen naturally for us I so WISH it would be easy for IT to happen! That would be awesome! ...isn’t it ironic how at the beginning of our relationship we were SO careful NOT to have a baby and now is as if we are paying for all that protection we took. We thought hundreds of times that how lucky we would have been if we had a child 10yrs ago! My DH got the Mumps virus in 2005 (he had a minor one when he was a baby and so it happened again! bummer!) and that had an impact on both his orchids damaging them (rare thing to happen for both to be damaged) and as a result problem in his sperm. Mumps is a virus that when it happens to a an adult, man, it can cause him steroid/abiotic/infertile. We did went to a doctor as soon as the b/w showed that it was mumps orchitis and the doctor himself verbally kicked him out of the office and told him to just go home and there is nothing he can do to help him! 4yrs later in 2009 we started the IVF treatments and the new doctors, Urologists, told us that IF he took out sperm immediately after he was diagnosed with mumps then that sperm would not be damaged and he would have put it in a sperm bank for later use. STUPID doctors! Play with peoples lives! ...we knew that his sperm was ok prior to the virus b/c in high school he got his girlfriend pregnant and she had to m/c. Now all those years later he feels SO guilty doing that and feels that maybe God is punishing him for that. He was so young what could he do, both him and that girl. SO, back to 2011, we are here waiting to start our 8th attempt and hopefully we are going to get our miracle this time!...and yes pregnant women are absolutely EVERYWHERE! And even though I get emotional seeing them, I am happy for them because they didn’t need to go through all the things we are going through to make a baby. No woman deserves to go through all that to have a child of her own. No one!...hey! sorry for the venting! OMG! Every time I think why we in this situation of doing IVF treatments I get nuts! Sorry!...Sunday won’t be long for your u/s! I wish you all the best my friend!


Leora
I am sorry I brought up IKEA and brought back memories to you ...you have been through so much my friend and you really don’t deserve any of that! I think similar for our situation things each year and I cant believe that we came so far and STILL no baby! Nevertheless, I wish the New Year brings happiness, babies in our arms and health to us all!.....I wanted to post a hebrew wish and i found this...


I have been to 3 of the biggest recruitment/head-hunter companies and had extended interviews with all of them. All of them told me how impressive my CV was and based on my experience I sure deserve both a high position and salary. Blah blah blah...Unfortunately there are no jobs to recommend me. They also told me that b/c of the recession things are getting tougher and tougher each day but they are optimistic that October will be better. I sure hope so! We never had any problem with unemployment in Cyprus, never! but in the last 2-3yrs we have reached the 30.000 unemployed and I am one of them! I am sure something will come up any day now.

Indigofire-
Any news on your beta honey? I am crossing my fingers for you here!!!!!!


Sunshine-
Glad you are doing fine and keeping yourself busy girl! your time spending with Annabel is so precious! I am glad you are enjoying time with her. You will make an excellent mother some day! btw, never heard of that Gumbo! I am going to google it and find out!

LYD-
how are you my friend! What are you up to these days?


Sunshineandstars- how are things with you mama! When is your u/s? I can’t wait to see how many you are having! I love that part and I can’t wait to get there!

I am sure I left a few behind! I am loosing track here!

AFM- I had my hair cut and color today. I feel like a new person! Seriously! I am telling you! a day at the salon is healing! ...My Lasagne are in the over getting ready and my aubergine milfeig is almost ready. I have prepared my pyramids and I will put them in the oven when our friends get here. It will only take 10min to finish. ...I had a great time at my BF house last night, we laugh and laugh and talked about everything but my IVF status. Which it was good actually! I can’t talk about it all the time and I find that people, even my BF feel awkward when we talk about it. Of course she cares, I am not saying the opposite but you know what I mean....they don’t know exactly how to react and what to say...I totally get that! besides, I have all of you ladies here that speak the same IVF language with me!

Baby dust to us all and tons and tons of positive vibes!

Anton,
I need a new hairstyle desperately and might while I'm out grocery shopping tomorrow. It's raining right now as I'm getting ready to head to the boutique and I know with the rain work will be slow since the shopping resort is located near the beach. Oh well at least it will kill the humidity and we'll have cooler weather by the weekend. Yes google 'gumbo" and let me know whatcha think, it's more if a Lousiana Cajun dish but quite delicious if you like okra, tomatoes, chicken seafood together. I wish you the best in the job market, 30,000 is alot but maybe you could start up a home interior career. I know how much you love designing, maybe a home based business as someone else mentioned. Real Estate is also something you might be interested in? I know the market is tough right now, but certatinly a great time to research it.

[Kamina]

Anton - Well the doctor is pushing the pgd test. I guess since I'm over 40 and all. I will see what they say today.
Thanks for the thoughts on my dad. I spoke to him and he will know more on Friday.
Yeah I am familiar with all the social media organizations. I live in Silicon Valley 4 blocks from Google, Facebook is one town over... lol. I was just surprised not more marketing jobs because now all companies have to have a facebook, twitter presence. So I would think they would be hiring people just to handle that. So I was wondering if those type of jobs fall under the marketing umbrella or would it be PR?
After all your talking about food. I am going to make peach cobbler today.

AFM - my friend who is a nurse came over to give me my shot. She showed up early so I did not have time to prepare. And she had snuck away from work so we had to make it quick. No cold pack no nothing. Well, I did not feel a thing.... It was pretty uneventful. Thank God 'baby got back'.

[Kamina]

So I had 4 embryos fertilize. And the option to do pgd. I have no idea what to do.

[Kamina]

Spoke to my cycle buddy and she said her doctor recommended no. She said I should call my obgyn. Spoke to him and he said he would not recommend doing cause it can damage the embryo. So no go on the pgs testing for me. He also said that I should put all 4 embryos in. I guess at my age I need all the help I can get. I told him if I end up with 4 kids, he was going to have to take one home after the delivery. He just laughed at me and my old eggs..... Blaahhh!

So now I am trying to call the clinic to tell them no on psg and question why my transfer is on Sunday!!!! WTH that would be a 6 day transfer!!!! Shouldn't I be going in on Saturday at the latest? My babies need me. I'm starting to freak.

[indigofire]

Officially negative....sorry to ruin the BFP run. Going in next week to raise a stink over $15,000 for one embryo. I myself produced 9 day 3 embryos...NOT ACCEPTABLE! Not ethical! I will be demanding something. We'll see how it goes. It's not fair that the people who are the most vulnerable in the equation (the recipients who desperately want a baby) are the ones left with nothing but the bill and the clinics have no accountability.

Anyway, I'll save my rant for the doctor.

Thanks for listening ladies. Sorry for no personals, I just can't today. Too many tears.
Indigo.

[WeHaveHope]

Indigo-my dear friend, I am so sorry. I dint know why these things happen and I wish with all of my heart that I could take your pain away. I think you have every right to be upset with the clinic. I pray that they are able to work something out with you so that you can continue you journey. Sending you all my love. I am praying for you.

[Lauren319]

Indigo - shit. I'm so sorry, Hun. It sucks. I know. I wish there was something I could say to make it better. Xoxo.

Greekchick-welcome. Your sig looks very familiar. I've been on these boards for a while so I'm sure we have crossed each others paths on these boards. Welcome again. I hope to get to know you better. Are you Greek? My hubby is Greek. I have added you to the Fall Roll Call so we can all follow each others progress on this journey. I don't really have any information that you are seeking but I am sure that someone on this board may have some knowledge they can share. Best of luck.

[akdelp]

we- You are sooooo close! I am getting excited for you!

Indigo - I am so very sorry. Good luck talking with the physician(s).

Anton - I go Monday for a new do! I am sooo ready. Not sure what she will do, but something needs to be done.

Sunshine - You know, I read your posts and I see so many similarities between us...it's crazy! Good luck with Gumbo! I have never made it, got a very loose recipe for some once...no measurements so I won't try it...

AFM - still a very faint line this am. Still not ready to celebrate. I need a little bit draker line...and I am sure I am just protecting myself... Off to feed the baby kitten. Boy is she cute, and time consuming!

[WeHaveHope]

At every turn there seems to be a change in my plans. So, now we are back to our original plan. We will be transferring two embies. One is graded a 4AB and the other a 2BB. These two embies are 6 day frosties and we will be transferring them this Friday the 30th, so the date hasnt changed. According to my RE, he had a lengthy conference with the lab director, the embryologist, and his colleagues today. The lab director and the embryologist say they have clinical statistics that show that a 5 day embie and a 6 day embie are equivalent in developement. Meaning that the 6 day embies can be transferred on day 5 of Progesterone the same as the 5 day embies. According to the entire team the concences is that there is no developmental difference between the day 5 or the day 6 embies. So, they are all in agreement that our best chances lay in transferring the two higher quality embies we have this Friday. I am feeling quite confident now and pray that this is truly the best decision. So Friday it is!!! Embie 4AB and embie 2BB will be coming home to mom
