IVF until we all get our bfp! 2012-present *13 w/twins & 1 w/triplets!*

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Ugh today was the worst ever. I had to take my cat for his yearly shots and to get something on his leg looked at. We ended up having to put him down due to a cancerous tumor on his leg. He was only three. Such a shocker and no way to be prepared for that. I just can't stop crying...

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how hard that must have been for you.

prayin:how are you doing?

Hi Mo!!!!! Im hanging in there....I sure have my days...I just try to keep positive and look forward to my three little embies waiting to meet their mommy .....how are you doing?

I just wanted to say that I love your positive attitude. Do you know when you will be doing an FET?

Lindsay I am SO sorry I have a furbaby who is 3 and she is my life!!! I am sorry for your loss *HUGS*

AFM scan today, finally, yay!! will post photos on my journal tonight!

I can't wait to hear how it goes!

Morning All. . .

Bubu, I'm so sorry. I agree, getting a second opinion sounds like a good idea.

Angie, I wish I could change how things turned out. Would you consider using donor eggs?

Lindsay, I'm so sorry. . . losing a pet is so hard!

MrsC. . . scan tomorrow!!! Hopefully your little ones are cooperative and show their genders.

Hi to everyone else, I will do more personals later (my kiddos will be here in just a minute).

AFM, between yesterday and today I have completely convinced myself that this cycle didn't work and that I need to start looking into donor eggs. I know its too early to know that but I feel like AF is coming. Today is a hard day anyway (it's the 3 yr anniversary of my dad's death), and I'm hoping that's what all my negativity is about. <sigh>

Sorry to be such a downer. . . it's just one of those days!

Please don't give up yet! There is still time for your bfp. Have you tested yet? Sorry that today is a hard day for you. I will keep you in my thoughts. I hope between this post and now you are feeling a little better.

Hi Lovely's

I really am fine. They said that the 3 eggs split into 8 cells like they were supposed to, but that all 3 were deeply fragmented. Meaning not forming properly. So putting them back in on a 3 day would not have a made any kind of difference. They said they were going to call me today and let me know if the managed to pull themselves together through the night, but it was only a 5% chance that they would. Not holding my breath.

I truly am fine. As some of you may know I have already been blessed with 3 beautiful, smart, talented and loving daughters. (24-22-21 years old) as well as blessed with my 4 year old grandson. It is my husband who has no children of his own that I am hurting for. He is so strong. I know that the news has crushed him, but he cares too much for me to ever let me see him hurt..awe..my love.

Anyway, we will not consider donor eggs for 2 reasons, mostly because we wanted "our biological" child, and 2 it would cost us another $8000.00 on top of the medications and procedures, labs, ultrasounds, donor moms meds..we cannot afford anymore. We have spent almost $18,000.00 in the last 7 months. Its so frustrating to be paying for failure. So yep, this was pretty much it.

I will be lurking. cheering and praying for you all!

Thanks for everything! Can't wait to see some babies!

Angie you are so strong and caring! I can see how this would be very hard on you both. I fully understand your reason for not wanting to go the donor egg route because of your two reasons. I'm sure your DH looks at your kids as his own. So sorry that this hasn't worked for you.

Hi MrsC How are you doing?

I have a follow up scheduled for next week the 18th with my Doctor...she is going to go over everything and let me know what my future schedule will look like....I'm actually excited to jump in the office to see what she has to say...excited and scared to be honest....I just want it to work I tried last time to upload a picture of my little bean (before it all happened) but it didn't exactly work...LOL...I have "the beans" still on my fridge...don't have the heart to take it down...for in that short time it made me the happiest person that walked the earth There's always a reason on why things happen...it just sucks that sometimes we will never get the answer on why.

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Just received the call..None survived.

I am so sorry sweetie Your entire family is in my prayers.

I'm doing good and hanging in there. Thanks for asking. I'm glad your follow up is soon. Hopefully you can get started again soon or when ever you are ready. I'm sure it is exciting and scary all at the same time. Just do what is best for you and know that your forever baby is waiting for you. I think you should keep your little beans on your fridge for as long as you want. You will always have a little angel looking over you from now on.

Angie : sooo sorry

Try and remain positive it is still too early to tell. FX this is your BFP!

Oh that's rubbish. I seem to get it really bad for a whole day and night then it goes away for a couple of days before coming back again. I'm mainly just really tired! I go to bed so early!!

I've got my 12 week appt next week. I'm excited for it

How about you? When's your next one? Xx

So excited for your scan, it is amazing how much the babies grow from start to 12 weeks they really look like babies now. Good luck! Hope your MS ends soon.

Angie I'm so sorry my heart breaks for you and your family. I still think you should get a second opinion before you give up. Praying for you.

MS suffering ladies try Diclectin it worked wonders for me and is totally safe to take.

MrsC: Good luck tomorrow, I hope the babies cooperate and you get to see the genders. Can't wait to hear.

Almost: How was the scan?

 

[TwoRdue]

Never I am so sorry to hear that.x

 

[almosthere]

angie-I am so sorry you are going through this!! it is so expensive- if only it was free like natural pregnancy right?!

Speaking of mula-I got my bill....only a bit over 2,000-so it seems like a good deal to me-my baby is worth every penny!! Then there is the egg freezing which is 86 a month that will cost over 1,000 by the time we try again-so the sooner we try, financially...the better!!! LOL!

Scan went WONDERFUL today, one strong little bean with a heartbeat measuring as a 8 week baby when my little strong bean is only 7. Official due date may 30th as I already calculated =) I also saw that my eggs collected was under average and considered good-so knowing this all worked even with a below average number of eggs, I feel so much more fortunate

hope all are well and hugs to those feeling down today

 

[drsquid]

yay almost. happy to see your fab us results

 

[never2late70]

Its not that I want to give up Jenn, it's just too expensive we have spent so much already

[wantbabysoon]

Angie - I am so sorry!

 

[Lindsay18]

Angie- I'm so so sorry

Today was really hard for me in dealing with being upset about my kitty, but I kept myself busy. It was also my first OB appointment and they didn't think I would hear the heartbeat on the fetal heart monitor but I did. That made my week a lot better. My first trimester scan is October 22nd so I'm excited about that

 

[wantbabysoon]

Lindsay - We are so close in our dates... My first trimester scan is on Oct 24th!!!

 

[Lindsay18]

That's awesome!!!

 

[Stinas]

Angie - Im sooo sorry! I wish it could be easier!

Never - Great scan!

Lindsay - ooooo yayyyy for hearing the heartbeat!

 

[MrsC8776]

Stinas how much longer until your FET? Not long right?!?
