[InHisHands]

Awww Lisette!!! She's gorgeous!!! Dark hair... i wasn't expecting that for some reason. Oh and i love the rocking horse onesie!!! She's gonna be dressed in style like her momma. Are you BF or FF?

Snow - How awful! I'm so sorry hun... let's just hope this IUI did the trick and you can start to move forward.

Nic - Tell Finlay Congrats!!! Awww its so wonderful when you get to see your kiddo learn something new. He's gonna be one smiling, rolling, acrobat!

Just yesterday Dex learned to grasp a rattle and he was shaking/ pulling on it violently today... eyes all crossed eye trying to focus on it and his tongue sticking out in a real effort to concentrate!

OMG. Girls, I think we did it. I tested this AM with FRER at 7am. Didn't see anything after like a min so I went back to bed. I looked it again when I woke up at 9:30am and found a very very faint line. Couldn't tell if it even had color. I've thought it was an Evap or the trigger shot still in my body. Looked up and seems like trigger should be out. So then it was narrowed down to either very faint BFP or evap. Welllllll, I just did a dollar tree test just a bit ago with holding my pee for 4.5 hours and def pink line but still very faint. Came up within a minute too. Going to test with another FRER tomorrow AM. But I am feeling that we just may have done it.

I have just burst into tears with that news!!!! Oh snow I am going to be refreshing this thread all day to see what the morning holds for you! I AM SO EXCITED!!!

 

[MrsBea23]

Aw Snow yay that is awesome news, this has to be it woo hoo.

 

[NotNic]

I've forgotten the time difference for Snow. Is it -6 hrs??

 

[snowflakes120]

I tested and line didn't get any darker. Figuring the trigger is still in my body. I also went trampolining with friends on Saturday so maybe I shook the bean too much jumping and doing flips. I feel so stupid and guilty for getting me and hubby all excited for nothing. I'm stopping the progesterone tonight so hopefully AF can come on time so I can get the IUI done before we go to NY in early Oct. Sorry girls.

 

[NotNic]

Snow Im sorry to hear that. Are you sure you should stop the progesterone just yet? Remember I didn't get a positive test with an early response with Finlay when I was c.10DPO and I had a shortish LP around 11/12 days. Is there much harm in giving yourself a day or two more just to be sure? Xxx

 

[InHisHands]

I dont want to keep your hopes lingering... but i didnt get my dark line with FRER till 16 dpo.

Besides im pretty sure those test say to wait 2 days (as if any woman can wait) before retesting cause it takes that long for the hormone to double.

 

[snowflakes120]

Hubby is telling me to continue with the Progesterone and told me to call the RE and see what they say. My heart and gut are telling me the same thing. After I let the test sit til after I got out of the shower - it did darker up but just a tiny bit - not much. So I put a call into the nurses at the RE and will see what we will need to do next. I hope betas so we can see if my HCG levels are doubling like Hands said every 48 hours. My feelings are guarded now. I am just a bit worried bc I don't have any real symptoms - my boobs hurt a little bit but not like they did 2 days ago. I don't know - I just know that I'm scared.

ETA: RE office called - I am going for Beta's on my lunch break. They are also going to check my Progesterone levels too.

 

[Srbjbex]

If one thing is for sure, these things are never simple. I don't know enough about how it all works to offer any advice I'm afraid, but I know that a line is a line and while it is still there you still have hope. Stay positive and keep us updated

 

[MrsBea23]

My line took a couple of days to get dark as well. This has to be it snow but I totally understand not getting your hopes up just in case big

 

[NewbieLisette]

Snow hunni massive T & P...know how scared & guraded ur must feel...good that ur going at lunch so no days spent second guessing yourself

 

[NewbieLisette]

Hey snow, just checking in..hope you have some good results this afternoon and don't have to wait...xoxo

Hands I've been meaning to ask you have you read Wonder Weeks? I started it and there seems to be loads of really good info on the way they have mental growth spurts sometimes and why they seem to regress...might be worth the read!

Girls I'd love to see new pics of your LO's and Bex how you doing getting sooo close now? Very excited for ya

 

[snowflakes120]

OMG. Super cute pics of Melina! I can't believe she is already smiling!

Great news for me. I am pregnant. HCG was 63 and Progesterone was 30. I am in such shock! Just gotta make sure they are doubling so I go back on Wed for another beta. OMG!!! I am due right around Finlay!! It think it like May 29th or something. We are celebrating with Meatloaf! Yummmy!!

[NotNic]

I knew it Snow!! I had such a great feeling How fabulous would it be for us to share a birthday and our babies to share one too?! Finlay's date is May 31st so that's really, really close! Ah such a lovely time of year to be a new Mummy too. After everything that's gone on you really deserve this great news. So very, very happy for you and your hubby right now. xxx
