I'm in for a group hug Twinkle
Nice hug smilie there Bearlake - you're learning fast!!
I'm in for a group hug Twinkle
OK you know what is really cool, i just went back to the begining of this thread, and just about all the ladies on there either had a baby or are expecting. I have to say thats pretty good, this must be one lucky thread!!!
OMM that is pretty cool - but please could we just have a group hug for those of us from the 1st 10 pages who are still here?
HA - How are you doing? I hope the raw feelings are beginning to settle a little - I am finding it soo hard and I think you are so incredibly brave that you have lived through this 3 times. I so wish that you didn't have to xxx
ladies - I am feeling less loony and less emtional today - it's been an easier day! I have also been to see the haematolgist. he was very nice. about 10 years I had some chest pains and was investogated for them - I had a blood test which looked at "lupus anticoagulant" and apparently it was positive (although I wasn't told that at the time) it was repeated after about 6 months - I was the told that it was all ok, but, the doctor at the time told me to come back if I got pregnant. one of the effects that lupus anticoagulant has is early MC...... so anyway - I saw a new doctor today and he explained a lot to me. I had an armful of blood taken and then I will go back for results. If I get one positive test he says that if I get pregnant again I will have to be on aspirin and injected heparin twice a day to try and help me avoid MC again. usually they do 2 tests 6 months apart but I explained that I am really anxious about waiting 6 months - since I would be 40 by that time , and that's anoth birthday......anyway, he was very understanding and said that because of the time factor one test would be sufficeint if a positive result. I will have another appointment in about 8 weeks, but I am to ring if by any chance I manage to get pregnant before that. I feel quite positive after speaking to him today, at least if there is a problem - there is a treatment available, and if everything comes back ok, then I can at least think that this baby just wasn't meant to be
I hope that makes sense.... phew - that was long!
do I need to give anyone a prod to wake them up ??

skye2010--thank you for your encouraging words!
Purple--thanks for asking--
I am scheduled to have a 3 day transfer tomorrow (they will confirm in the morning). I am disappointed that there are only 2 embries out of 9 retrieved. Is this a bad ratio? It seems poor. My husband's sperm is not great--they did an ICSI. I just don't know what the chances really are. I'm finding it a little difficult today to stay positive I've been reading up on 3 day vs 5 day transfers...so conflicting and frustrating. With only 2 embryos it seems that a 5 day doesn't make sense, but part of me wonders why not just wait until day 5 to do the transfer and if they aren't healthy then at least I know and don't suffer the 2WW.
Bear--how are you doing? I definitely hear your frustration. I wish you fine, healthy embries that grow up big and strong! xx
Thanks all for listening. Send me fertile thoughts at 11:40 EST tomorrow! xx

Dwrgi - firstly, I am not bored for one nano second by your ponderings. I wish I had some advice I could give you that would help. I am so sorry this is keeping you awake at nights. I can't even imagine where you are at the moment but I do understand that feeling of time running away and the pressure that we are under to make decisions and "do " something. I am sending you all the love I can and I hope that you can get your answers xxxx

Purple,
That is an awesome group hug emoticon! Love it.
We should find out on Sept. 20th about Baby A's gender. Will keep you posted. Thank you for asking. I had my regular OB appt. today. All is well, but my doctor mentioned putting me on modified bed rest beginning week 24 or 26, so in about 2 months. That means around my 40th birthday, Oct. 30th. He mentioned working half days. I will do whatever I need to to have healthy babies, but I am worried about my job being flexible and letting me work from home. ;( I'm not complaining, just trying to process.
I am glad you are feeling stronger today, but I imagine some days are easier than others. you are always so sweet reaching out to others. Make sure you take time for yourself.
It is chilly in Atlanta with a low of 55 degrees today. Yay for sweater weather!
