Hold ~ congrats

Hey everyone... Super busy this morning sewing some last minute stuff for our churches Christmas service tonight...

 

[want2conceive]

Girly - So sorry to hear your news! I know how you must feel and it helps to get it out. We had a Positive on our first IVF blood test(on our 1st IVF attempt a couple yrs ago) and told a bunch of people we were pregnant and then the 2nd test was negative. It was really tough because we went from being cautiously optimistic to really happy and then to really disappointed at the time. People understand so don't worry what they will think when you tell them. If there is anything I can do to help you cope just let me know. We are all here for you. Big Hugs to you hun!

August - You don't have to tell anyone in your office if you don't want to. Let them think what they want until you are ready to. And like Lotus said, nobody is going to judge you about the cost issue thing. In my case, we had to go to another country to do IVF because we couldn't afford to do it here as we had to pay out of pocket too.

Sweet & August - We are all small lol. I am 5'4 also and was only 129 lbs at my 11wk scan. And like Whisper my tummy is starting to get bigger so hoping to pack on some lbs soon.

Wanna - Thanks for sharing your journal. Stalking. Congrat's Again and I also voted for one of each btw. And have a safe trip.

Hold - Congrat's on your BFP!!! Yay for symptoms. Sorry about the spotting and I hope it stops.


Sweet - Stop worrying! Go about your day and 12weeks will be here before you know it.

Whisper and sweet - I know what you girls mean. We had only told some family and a few close friends as well. Wanted to update that we announced to a few people at a Christmas party we went to about our pregnancy because we hit 12wks yesterday! One of our friends was even moved to tears because she knows how long and hard we have tried for this. 3months down....6 to go! And no more suppositories!

Hope everyone else is doing great!

Hey everyone! I've just been silently observing for the past little while. Not much going on in my little world lately. Just doing some Christmas activities like making goodies for neighbors and sending out Christmas cards. Still having a decent bit of MS, but at least it seems to be staying away on the days I have to go to work! I do worry a ton about every little thing and have really been feeling that urge to google over the past couple days. Help me be strong and resist!! I just really don't want to do anything to hurt the babies. I have faith that everything will be ok with them, but I have to keep fighting off the anxiety. Hope everyone is doing well. Have a wonderful Christmas eve tomorrow!!!!

 

[augustluvers]

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!! How are you all today?

 

[everhopeful]

I shall be testing in the 26th so will update after!! Anyone else going to be testing?

:wave: Hi ladies and gent! Hope you are well. Dh and I are at his parent's house in Wisconsin for the week. I'm supposed to go for my beta Friday, but I'm not sure if I will be able to find anywhere around here to have it done. We haven't decided anything about testing, but I'm thinking if we aren't able to go for the beta, we may test. Not sure when though.

 

[ChaseThisLite]

Hello all! Just working half-day today and then back home. Doing lots of Christmas activities, so probably won't be on very much. Hoping everyone gets their BFPs for Christmas!

 

[alicatt]

Morning Ladies and Gent!

Merry Christmas Eve! I'm working a whole day today, but it will be my last until 2013! YAY!

Ever - good luck with your test!

Lucie - can you go to a Qwest labs or LapCorp? My insurance says I can go to Qwest for lab work. I think you need a request from your FS though. If not, just use a HPT until you get home.

Chase - hope your surrogate is doing well!

August - are you testing soon?

Want and Whisper - Hello!

AFM - not the greatest news on Christmas Eve for me.. tested with 3 different brands (IC - internet cheapies, FRER and CBE) all negative. The FRER might have had a hint of the beginning of a line. I'm 9dp5dt though, by now I should be seeing something I would think. I guess I will just have to wait until the 28th for the BETA. Just a little deflated now Don't think I'm going to tell my family that I tested, I want to get through Christmas with smiles!

 

[everhopeful]

Hi Ali- sorry that the tests were negative. Blood tests are much more accurate though so please don't get deflated yet!!
Xx

 

[Lucie73821]

Ali, sorry about the negatives.

As for where to get my blood work done, we are literally in the middle of nowhere so there are no labs around. There is a walk in clinic though, but I'll have to see if they accept my insurance. We already have an order from my FS for the test. I will have to talk to dh and see what he thinks will be our best bet.

OH! Well that does make it a little more difficult now doesn't it! Maybe just enjoy your Christmas and wait it out?

I think I'll do that, just wait until BETA, and keep the faith!

BTW - I was doing some reading last night and there are some people that react adversely to all the meds and the uterus is basically inhospitable to implantation immediately following the IVF cycle, so in some cases they are freezing all the embryos and waiting a few months before transferring them. So maybe I'm one of those women? If this is negative, I'm going to ask about whether my uterus is somehow not allowing them to implant.

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you all enjoy your holiday!!!

 

[LotusBlossom]

Ali- I'm sorry to hear about the BFNs. Let's hope the beta brings a wonderful surprise. I'm so glad you also have some

I'm testing tomorrow (Christmas morning) with a FRER, and then my betas are the 26th and 28th. They only give me results on the 28th, though. Tomorrow is only 6dp5dt, so while I am optimistic, I'm trying to remember that it's still early. I'm just so impatient!

Good luck to you! 6dp5dt is a decent amount of time to wait to test. You are right though, not all women will be positive then. I hope you are one of the lucky ones!

 

[augustluvers]

I'm testing every morning but I'm only 6dp3dt today and it was negative but it's early still fs said that I probably won't see anything until Wednesday or Thursday so who knows

Lotus - best of luck tomorrow. What a perfect Xmas gift that would be!!

[everhopeful]

Ali- my specialist actually prefers FET as the IVF meds can put your estrogen levels way too high! This can prevent implantation. Therefore FET can be the answer for those who are sensitive to estrogen!

Yes! That is what I reading about! I'm sad, but keeping the faith right now. Plus I have 4 So this isn't the end! I haven't told my family that I tested this morning, I am just going to tell them I am not going to test until Friday. No sense letting everyone have a down Christmas.

 

[MoBaby]

Ali sorry. My re likes fet also because of the estrogen levels.
