Hey, Congrats Stacie! How exciting! Meme, 2 more days for you, 5 more for me to do the u/s...have you given yourself the Ovidrel shot before? I am a little nervous about that part...the first (and only so far) IUI we did not do the Ovidrel, we just did OPK, then went in for the day after the LH surge and never did any u/s or shots..... I am hoping when we go Sunday that we can do the the IUI Tuesday....I really dont want to have to keep going in for u/s ya know. Anyway, Tracy, too bad about the bed rest, I dont know if I could handle that! Natasha, Laurie, Dana, Rachel, Karen and anyone else I forgot, hope you are all doing well! Meme, will be watching for your u/s update.... Have a great day ladies!

This is really a great morning ladies! First off, congrats Stacie! Grow babies grow! They do know how much they are wanted and loved already. How are you feeling today? Natasha, things sound good with you. keep it up! Tracy, how are you surviving bedrest? Dana, it was good to get your update. Glad you are feeling strong and good. Rachel, where are you? I miss reading your posts and hope you are okay.
So, here is my news. Woke up this morning with temp still elevated...the highest it has been this month. It is cd 29, so I decided to poas.....BFP!!! I am excited, but terrified of another miscarriage. Called my RE, and they did the beta and a prog. level this morning. Now the agony of waiting until this afternoon for the results. Based on those, I will likely go back in on Thursday for repeat beta. Clomid really is my miracle drug! I'll post again with results later today.

Hi guys - sorry that I have been MIA, but I don't have good news. It looks like dh and I are spliting up. I'm terribly sad these days and not much good to anyone. We've been married since 7/04 and over time dh has just removed himself from our marriage. No need to bore you all with details, but my marriage has become a very lonely place. I guess I wanted a husband and a family so much that I tolerated things a little too long. I can't in good conscious bring a baby into a marriage that has so much trouble. I know you all will appreciate that it's not only losing a husabnd, but at 37 with problems getting pregnant I may just be out of the game. You can imagine how unhappy my marriage must be for me to do this. Anyway, I don't want to bring everyone down, all your news is wonderful! If it's OK I will check back in once and awhile to hear about all those BFP's! Lots of good wishes, hope and love to each of you! I will miss you all! Rachel

Karens, congrats!! How exciting! I am so sorry, I dont really know your story sincy I had been gone for awhile, maybe you could give me a quick run down? I am hoping for this one to be sticky and that your beta numbers are high!! Rachel, I am so sorry to hear about you and dh. I know it is tuff to split up. I am on my second marriage, the first one ended after 4 years and it was rough. Dont give up hope for a family yet though...look at all the people who are starting families in their 40's now days, there is still lots to hope for and look forward to in the future. I know that is not how you feel right now, but give it some time...I will be keeping you in my prayers...

Rachel, I am so sorry to hear your news. I agree with Kristi, don't give up hope. Quick story: when I was single and feeling very lonely and discouraged, I met a woman on a plane ride to Maine who was with a young Chinese girl. We got to talking. When she turned 40 and was not married, she made the decision to adopt. Her little girl was 2 and they were on their way to meet the grandparents. I still think about her courage and her determination.
Well, got my beta...106. Still waiting on the progesterone result. I go back on Thursday morning. I am trying to walk that fine line between excitement and knowing the odds. Please send sticky vibes not only to Stacie but to me!
Kristi, my story is that I am 35, married in 8/05, ttc for just over a year. Tried Clomid in Nov 06 and got pregnant right away only to miscarry early at 5w5d. This was my second time using Clomid.

Rachel - I'm so sorry you are hurting and dealing with all that - my thoughts are with you.

yeah - Karen, great job on the BFP!!!! Woohoo - love those pg vibes - Stacie's next, then me and Kristi (and Laurie your timing should be somewhere in here too!) How fun, we will all be pg together! Krisi - I've never done the ovidrel shot (just got mine in the mail today) I got to practice in the office (not on myself, but a little pad they have) seems pretty straight forward, so I'm excited. Plus they are monitoring and timing everything so much better than my previous experience - I am excited for the process. Hope you are doing well today Stacie!

Also - our law of attraction theory and a believer. Jim Carrey - he was on the Today show this am and talked about how he believes that you ask for what you want, and believe and lo and behold the universe will reward you. He said he learned it in school when a teacher said, you can ask for anything want, so he tried it (he asked for a bike) and the next week, won it from a contest he had NOT entered. Go figure, so ever since he knew it would work. Another ex, he wrote himself a check for $10 million dollars because he wanted to cash a check that big some day (talk about dreaming big!), and he even post dated. 6 months prior to the date on that check, he cashed a real check for $10 million. Not bad! So I say - let's keep it up. Let the BFP's keep rolling in!

Hi all! Hope you all are doing well. KAREN--yeah!!!!! I am so happy for you! I knew it was coming! Your beta sounds great, too! Sticky vibes to you! Congrats!KRISTI--is the ovidril shot an hcg shot? Will you take it in the rear end or the belly? I personally hate the hcg shot. It leaves my butt sore for days. Plus I have a nice purple bruise still from it (and I took it on the 13th!). If that is what it is, I hope it is kinder to you than it is for me. Trigger times is coming soon! BFP, BFP, BFP! MEME--the same goes for you...BFP,BFP, BFP! I know they are coming! I can feel it! RACHEL--I am sending another hug your way...take care of yourself. I am here if/when you want to talk or whatever. Tracy--how did the u/s go? NATASHA--how are you doing? LAURIE--hope all is well with you! What are you up to? DANA--thinking of you and sending you sticky, healthy vibes. As for me, I have been a couch potato all day. I have one more day of bed rest left. Dh is being so sweet and taking good care of me. He won't let me do anything! I am trying to enjoy him taking care of me, but I am not a dependent kind of person so it has been a little chalenging. Nothing is happening inside that I can tell, which is a good thing I am sure. I have an occasional twinge but it goes away when I change positions. I am very optimistic that my little ones are growing like crazy. Take care. Stacie

Had the ultrasound today. No heartbeat. Baby stopped growing about 2 weeks ago, just after my last ultrasound. I, we, are devestated. I can't even put into words how I am feeling right now. I will be scheduled for a D&C as I am not expelling naturally and the doc wants the tissue for analysis. This soooooo sucks! It hurts so badly that I can feel it in my chest.

Oh, Dana, I am so sorry. I wanted this baby so badly for you! Take care of yourself and mourn this loss with dh. I am sending you love and my prayers. I will be thinking of you...Stacie

Rachel, I am just devastated for you. I only hope you realize that if this split up is happening, then it may be for the best reasons. And you there really is no good reason why you can't go on and make a family of your own through sperm donation. I know it is the last thing you want to think about right now. I am sending you an e hug. Please keep us posted. Dana, what terrible news for you also. There is nothing we can say, just know you are in our thoughts. Love to you all! Laurie

Oh Dana, I am heartbroken for you. Sending you thoughts at this difficult time. Stacie, I just know those embies are snuggled in for a long stay! I just got off the phone with the RE's office. My progesterone was 44.4 "nice, high, excellent number" per the nurse. We repeat the hcg tomorrow. Please please double.... after that, provided it doubled, we schedule an ultrasound. My RE doesn't like to do it until week 7...yikes, a long wait. I only have very minor cramps now, and my bbs are only minimally sore. It is still early though, so I am trying not to worry too much about lack of symptoms.
