BFP Chasers...........Feel free to join....

Galvan - Thinking positive thoughts for you. I am sure this is just a slow riser.

 

[Fezzle]

Galvan- HOH for you! Stories like Katie's make me think you shouldn't give up based on numbers alone- I hope you have a slow riser!

 

[GalvanBaby]

I dreamed thaty levels were 300 last night, and after a lot of thought think that God will do his will. I pray it is what I want, and that my baby makes it 9 months, but it is up to him. I have to be at peace with what he desires.

Galvan -

More happy thoughts and good luck dust coming your way.

When's your next appointment?

 

[GalvanBaby]

Tomorrow for betas. My RE said we will do an u/s next week

Hello ladies! I hope the invite to join is still open.
I'm 38 and hoping to have my last baby. I think I just had 2 chemicals in a row. I had Ic's that progressed for a few days & a bfp $ store test, but no confirmation on a better test. I'm really sad. I've had losses when I was younger, but I wonder if my age is a factor now
. Anyway, I'm waiting on af Friday to start my 4th cycle ttc this time. I plan to read through the whole thread ASAP. I look forward to being a part of the thread

Whew! Just caught up! I do love my mil!
Thank you for the welcome.
Congrats on all the bfps!
Good luck galvin! Fx for good numbers tomorrow!

 

[terripeachy]

Hi Luv and welcome!
That's funny about your MIL. I forgot that's how Taurus started this thread. I too, am sorry for your recent losses. Hopefully your BFP is right around the corner.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Welcome Luv and thank you!

I am feeling down today ladies kind of hopeless that this isn't meant to be. I am trying to have hope, but am scared for the same thing to happen again.

 

[Taurus8484]

Welcome luv xx

Galvan - I guess the next lot of betas you will have your answer. I know how difficult it is waiting to see what the levels are and seeing that they arent doubling. You just gotta try and stay positive. They aren't dropping so that's a good thing. Will be stalking for updates xx

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Galvan, I know it's scary and so easy to fall down the rabbit hole of "stinkin thinkin". My next scan is Friday so i am right there with you. We're rooting for you and your lo though. And like i said, my 2nd betas weren't great but my 3rd and 4th went quite well. I started having a talk with the lil goober before i drifted off to sleep and I think that helped.

Welcome luv. Sorry about your losses. Have you been to a RE and had a work up to see if you have any sort of hormonal imbalance or anything?

AFM - DH is cracking me up. He's been doing research and almost knows more about what is going on in my uterus and the little one than i do. He emails me fun facts like week 9 he will be the size of a grape. Too funny. He is ridiculously excited for the u/s friday. I wish I could be but I am more terrified that there won't be a heartbeat.

 

[Taurus8484]

Is it this Friday Book? Mine is the following on the 8th.

 

[terripeachy]

Bookwrmgal-Thanks for checking in. I was starting to get worried about you. Glad things are somewhat going well so far. I think Friday's ultrasound will be fantastic and you'll be able to see the heartbeat! Yeah.

Galvan-I don't know exactly what you're going through, but from what I read (haha), you have to stay positive like the others said. Good things happen when you think good thoughts. Stick bean, stick!

AFM-Another set of injections checked off the list for today. Tomorrow is my progress report u/s and bloodwork. I'm drinking a lot of water so that my blood is flowing in the morning. I drink water all day at work, but I don't drink a lot when I get home, so when I go in for my bloodwork, sometimes my blood is still sleeping.

 

[Taurus8484]

Yay peachy......sounds like things are moving for you xx good luck tomorrow xx let us know how it goes

Book - thats cute about your hubby also.....he sounds very excited. That first ultrasound is terrifying but once you hear the heartbeat its magic. Look forward to hearing all the details.

Hi everyone else

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Oh i checked in yesterday but it must have gotten shuffled to the end of the page It was a busy weekend with my friend's wedding Saturday and then sleeping all day Sunday (except for my zombie-like attempt to grocery shop).

Terri- how are you doing with the injections? Good thoughts for you for the check up tomorrow. Hope your blood is wide awake hahaha.

Taurus- yep it's this Friday the 1st. I can't believe it's August already! My contract is up in Nov so I really need to step up the job search. Right now I need to figure out the OB situation. I was going to see my normal gyn but she is near my current work, which is over an hour from home. Not terribly realistic. I would probably see someone in Hartford, which is closer but not by terribly much. Such decisions! i'm not sure how much longer my RE will be seeing me

 

[kfs1]

Terri - Fx today! Can't wait to hear how it goes.

Galvan - Fx to you, too, today! Positive thoughts!!!

Bookworm - Glad to hear that you're doing well.

Hi everyone else! :wave:

 

[terripeachy]

My ultrasound went well. The doctor said I had 7 follies on the right and 7 on the left. He didn't say what size they were, but the picture looked some were slits and some were ovals. But you know, i still can't really decipher the screen. hee hee. He said that was excellent for Day 04. I have to go back on Friday for another progress report. The nurse will call me this afternoon and let me know if I need to adjust any of my meds. I hope not. I feel really good this week.

kfs1-We posted at the same time. Look at that jump this morning. Woohoo!!

 

[Rainshiny]

Hi everyone,
Galvan--hang in there, babe. These things have a way of working themselves out. There are SO many stories of people with lower hcg or who didn't test positive until week 10. I sometimes wish we didn't test betas over and over and torture ourselves (I've never had a beta, but just from reading others' experiences). Sending you happy pictures of cute happy bunnies--that's one of my methods of reducing stress, .

Terri- my cheer for you: grow follies grow!!!

Bookworm: When you said you overdid things at the wedding and had some spotting, but then dry heaves the next day, I thought "hooray for dry heaves!" But really, here's to reassuring (and hopefully more civilized than dry heaves) pregnancy symptoms for all of us, and ease and peace regardless.

Welcome luv--your clan is inspirational. Did you read 'Cheaper by the Dozen'? We loved that book as a kid. Sorry if everyone asks you that!

Kfs: sweetie, I totally know what you're going through because I can't tell you how many times I re-analyzed what I have been doing all these years when I should have been ttc-ing. I'm ok with it now. At least for the moment. Everyone has their path in life, and it's so hard to anticipate everything, and you never think that you will be the one who has trouble ttc.

AFM: I think I was a bit exhausted and dehydrated and maybe had a tiny cold this weekend. No fever and feel better now. Except I have shortness of breath with the progesterone when I climb the stairs, and I'm starving all the time (also prog supplements). First beta is on Monday which is 10dp5dt...I'm trying to decide if I should poas this weekend or wait. Part of me wants to try, because I want a chance to just once in my life have the experience of discovering I'm BFP at home!

 

[terripeachy]

Rainshiny-Yeah, POAS. hee hee. I hated finding out that I wasn't prego from the nurse when I did my first IUI, so I felt better doing it at home and knowing the results the second time. Plus, you can get the depression out of the way at home too. I've never had a positive (other than testing the trigger), so not sure how I would feel if I really did get a positive at home. It seems that 10dp5dt is early, so I would probably test on Sunday, and if you do get a negative, remember it's early so don't worry too much about it.

Bookwrmgal-I'll have to go back and look for your response. I guess I did miss it.
