Never,
I just had DH take a pic of my hpts, but it's not the best picture. I'm heading in now to get my blood test and will post again when I get the results. I told my mom and of course, my DH both know and they are staying super calm and not getting excited at all. Mom just says to keep a good thought and DH said he would be excited when we knew it would stick. I want to be excited now so I'm a little hurt, but I guess I need confirmation at the doctors. I'm going with the PMA!!! So, here's a little happy emoticon for now.

How on earth can you even question those beautiful lines....sooooooo pleased for you and I'll stop bugging you now happy and healthy nine months for you

Good morning ladies!!!

Baby4MJ your a miracle worker, the grapefruit seed extract works wonders, i feel so much better today, im still stuffed up but dont feel all achey and cruddy, thank you so much honey!!!!

How is everybody doing? Never your too funny, yes a cold could be a symptom, and i guess all it takes is one time, it would be kind of ironic if all this time i DTD on the right days and nothing happend, and now i do it randomly and it worked lol. All i can do is wait and see what happens, needless to say i am not getting my hopes up too high, which is fine, i am the driver of the whatever wagon lol!!!

Yea for TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carole... hun, it is so hard and some people are insensitive to how people are dealing with things. I moan in my journal as I have only been trying for a much shorter time than most of you here and I don't like sounding trivial about my journey.

I hope that everything is in place ready for your EC and the journey brings the BFP sticky

Seriously...I didn't even get a positive OPK (smiley) in December so I was well and truly on the whatevs wagon, OH had a knee operation so was out of action so to speak and I didn't POAS until two whole days AFTER AF was due

Fingers are crossed

Lava, you are so completely pregnant!!!! I completely understand their concerns, and I have no doubt you're going to have great numbers today. Don't let their fears put a damper on your excitement - even assuming the numbers over the next few weeks show it's a perfect sticky little bean, your DH still won't feel the same excitement as you until he can see it for himself on the screen, or feel it move inside your belly... that's just the way most DHs are. As much as they try and want to understand, they have a very different experience with the tww and early pregnancy than we do. But we're all going to be VERY excited for you here!!!!!

AFM been feeling sick from the different meds I have taken the past couple of days but only 1 more day of meds and then back for a scan on Sunday and hopefully trigger shot. My sister called me from the UK and was telling me that I have to be prepared for this IVF not to work and that if that is the case I need to keep going. I did snap at her as she was crying after not falling pregnant in the first 3 months and went to the doctor pankicking and wanting tests, she got pregnant the very next month. I reminded her of how scared she felt at 3 months trying and then told her to think how she would feel after 2 years and also being 38 not 32. I know it is not her fault but sometimes she can be really insensitive and being like that to a lady at the end of a course of fertility meds is not a good idea. I told my Mum as I felt bad after but my Mum supported me and said that my sister needs to understand what I am going through more and be thankful for what she has. God I love and miss my Mum.

It's wonderful that your mum is able to be so supportive and understanding. And I think your sister meant well - sounds like she is just concerned for you - but those who haven't been through it themselves really don't have a clue as to how those comments feel to us. I am so sorry you're feeling icky from the meds, but I hope it means lots of good follies at your scan. How's your DH holding up lately?

Lava -We want more than just one , you are pregnant, stuff what DH & mom think, get excited


Carole - Some people just speak before they put their brain in gear, I'm sure your sister didn't mean to hurt you. So glad you've got such an understanding mom, it's nice to have someone in your corner (as well as us ladies on here that is)

 

[lavalux]

ok, Praise God!!!

My numbers just came back and look good. At 4 weeks, my beta HCG was 277. I've read on the internet that at 4 weeks the number should be btn 5 to 426 so I'm average. My nurse said they look for anything over 100, but the important thing is that they increase properly so I go back on Monday morning for another test and then on Friday! If everything checks out, my first scan will be in 2 weeks! Yay!

So!! I'm going to indulge in some emoticon celebration, y'all!



I'm so thrilled and really hope I have a sticky bean in there!

Thanks so much for being encouraging and supportive!!! I am looking for some more bump buddies this month ... FM, Nikki, Chris, anyone else in the TWW. Let's spread the BFPs around!

 

[Neversaynever]

Lava I am so pleased you have it all confirmed honey and everything heading your way and enjoy

Oh Lava! I am so happy for you that I am crying! You give me so much hope! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lavalux]

I so hope that this is a sticky bean, but no matter what ... the good news is that even with my stupid "Advanced Maternal Age" diagnosis, my older eggs decided they weren't done fighting yet! Granted, I needed a bit of help, but I'm just happy help is available.

Never, Thanks for letting me steal the "Thinking Pink" banner!!!

Missyt,
You are so sweet to be happy for me. Your day is coming soon I can feel it!

YAAAY!!! So glad it's working! Just keep taking it, even if you start to feel a little better, so you don't relapse. Once all signs of sickness are gone, you can stop.

You DESERVE to take a day to celebrate! Congratulations--I'm so happy for you!

Lava-Feeling a bit down today but your FANTASTIC news has given me and my 39-year old dusty eggs some hope! So happy for you!!!

 

[Baby4MJ]

Still reeling from lava's great news! YAY!!! Although you've "graduated", please don't leave us, lava, because we need that juju to rub off on the rest of us!!!

AFM, I could not be more confused about what the hell my body is doing. Today is CD17 and I have light spotting this morning. WTH? CBFM still reading "high". Again, WTH? AF isn't due until June 12th. No cramps, just some gurgling so I don't think it's early AF. I ditched the progesterone this cycle because I'm supposed to take it the day after I get a peak reading on the CBFM, but since no peak, no progesterone. Maybe that's it? I have no clue. ERRGGGHH...Thank God today is an early day out of work (we only work 1/2-days on Fridays during the summer) so my work girlfriends and I are going to drown our sorrows at the pub down the street. Only one of the 3 girls knows what's going on with me, so I will just chalk my mood up to work-stress for the other 2, but I'm so confused about what's happening to me, it's making me weepy, seriously. I want to run away, but how do I run away from myself? {sigh...}

 

[lavalux]

Baby4MJ,
Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, and will stay here as long as y'all will keep me. Lots of baby dust to you!

You say that you are are cycle day 17. How many days is your typical cycle? Mine is typically 31 days and I ovulate on either CD 17 or 18. So, that may make sense that your CBFM says you are still at high fertility. Maybe tomorrow you will be at peak. Not sure how the progesterone meds (or lack of them) may be affecting your cycle, but they probably are. Doubt it's AF coming. Besides, I'm officially revoking her pass for you. LOL Have a drink for me tonight!!

Thank you for the ...I sure can use it! Do you know where I can also get some sanity dust? I could use that too!

My cycle is 25 days. I get AF on CD26 like clockwork (when not on progesterone) and I ovulate between CD10-CD13 like clockwork (until now). So frustrating. Makes my head spin. I plan on making it spinnier tonight (one for me, one for lava...2 for me, 2 for lava...https://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/playbiller/emoticon/eatdrink048.gif)
