Welcome Kyla!!! That is a precious name. Laurie, don't give up hope, positive thoughts. What has the doctor decided? |

I'm here and A-OK! Started my new cycle of shots about 5 days ago, went in yesterday for a scan, had 4 follies, two on each side. Estrogen level was decent, so i go back tomorrow for my second scan to see if these puppies have grown much. They better have! We will be doing the IUI's by the end of the week. Then, I wait...... welcome to the new baby!!! |

Hi, only have a sec but wanted to say CONGRATS, Karen! How wonderful that baby Kyla is here...and what a big girl. Yay about a C-section given how much she weighed! Good luck over the next week or two - it's pretty crazy and you'll have EVERY emotion possible, but just give yourself a break, and remember that it's all normal. Hi to everyone else..baby crying, gotta run! |

IUI #1 was done this morning. 51 million little swimmers. Very stressed out over stupid family members right now. Would love to vent but will spare you. IUI#2 is tomorrow morning. Wish me luck! |

howdy all - Karen hope you are doing well and adjusting to new mommyhood. Nice to hear from you Natasha. Tracy - good luck with your IUI. When we did ours we have 10million after wash and some family drama that weekend, and it still worked, so you just never know. Hoping good things for you! Laurie - where are you at in IVF cycle? Jen/Cynthia what are you guys trying this month? Hope everyone else is well! |

Stacie, I don't know how often you're checking this thread, but I just read your birth story on your blog...oh my goodness! Your experience makes my 19 hours of labor sound like an absolute cakewalk... I was trying to imagine what it would be like for you before I read your blog..but now that I've read it and seen your sweet tiny boys, I really feel for you. What a challenging time, and what an amazing person you are (and sounds like your dh is an angel for you here on earth..how wonderful). Anyway, I just wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, dh and your boys. Karen, I don't expect to hear much from you for a while, but I hope it's going well with Kyla. You'll feel nutso for a while, but it gets better! Now..who's next? Who is the next to have a baby (sorry, I've lost track..is it Dana first, then Meme..right?) and who's going to get the next bfp!? Laurie, Cynthia, TTC #3??? Best of luck this cycle ladies...! Oh, and all is well with baby and I. TTYS! N. |

Hi all. I am now 4dpo and already going nuts. Can't believe I have to wait about 10 more days. I hope I'm not disappointed again this month. The roller coaster of TTC really sucks doesn't it? Miss you guys and always thinking of you! |

Hi everybody. Just popping in to say a quick hello while Kyla naps. We are doing well here. Kyla is gaining weight like crazy and my back is already feeling it! Tracy, sorry to hear the first month IUI didn't go as planned, but I am crossing fingers and toes for you for this month. A special word for Stacie: I read your blog and absolutely wept thru your montage. I, too, know about that guilt thing. Because of my DH's genetic disease (blindness), we knew going in that with each pregnancy, we have a 50/50 chance of passing it on. We won't know for several months if Kyla is affected or not. I often find myself whispering apologies to her already... |

Tracy - I hope this is the month for you guys - all fingers crossed. Natasha, how about you - are you ready for #2?? Laurie - how are you doing?? Dana & Meme - I hope you are enjoying these months and getting ready for the new arrivals. Sorry to be so brief - I'll be back soon with my story. Love to our growing family :) Rachel |

Karen, Savannah is an 18 pound chunker and I wake up with horrible back pain every single day. Carrying her in the carseat is the worst. I guess being an older mother has some minor drawbacks! Rachel, I love to hear from you. Please write and let us know what's up. I hope your transition to Atlanta has been positive for you. Can someone repeat the address to Stacie's blog for me. I missed that and would love to see it. Stacie, hope all is well. Karen, you brought me to tears. Whispering your apologies to your baby......I do that too but just because I'm so scared of the state of the world and what I might have brought her into. I know it's not the same thing at all, but we share so many worries for these little ones. I hope in your case, things work out the way you want them to. Well, today I am 7dpo and feel nothing of course. I didn't when I got PG with Savannah either until about 10dpo, when I started getting horrific menstrual cramps. So, I keep telling myself to just stay positive and to TRY not to think about it. I got Savannah's pictures taken with Santa the other day. wanted to beat the rush but still ended up waiting for an hour, only to have her poop right as it was our turn. Santa had a smelly one on his lap! I felt bad, but hey, he signed on for the job. Are any of you on Facebook? I have her Santa and Halloween albums there. I would love for you guys to see them, but haven't figured out how to do that without me giving out too much info on this forum. I'll let you know if I come up with a solution. If any of you email me at princess at esilo dot com I can email you the link. You don't have to join to view the link. |

HI all, I have not posted in awhile either--I am not posting very often now since I am coming to terms with this infertility thing. We did do IVF and although I do not think it was successful (no symptoms and I test on Wednesday), they sure did a good job at the clinic. I had 4 follicles that were bigger, then a 5th caught up. He retrieved 5, all 5 fertilized, three were transferred while two hung around in a petri dish and then, miraculously, they were deemed good enough to freeze. That was some darned good work. Now if only I would "stick". Anyway, maybe I am not able to carry them or something. I need to ask the veterans on the IVF board some more questions. Stacie, as soon as my e-mail is back up I will write. I am praying for those boys and you and your dh every day. Good to hear from everyone! Laurie |

Time to check in! 25 weeks and still going strong. You know, it's strange because I'm sure that this pregnancy is textbook and my OB really does treat it that way. There's nothing special about me or the pregnancy. It just is. I don't feel that way though. The baby will move and kick and be active for 3 days in a row and then I get the slightest of movements for a few days--FREAKING ME OUT, but apparently that is all normal. I HATE NORMAL!! I am doing an emotional roller coaster all the time. Tracy, Karen, Natasha... did that happen to you? The movement thing. Anyway, it's just scarey. I don't think I'll ever get over the scare until I'm holding the baby. And then a whole new set of fears sets in. Oy vey. This is just too hard sometimes, isn't it? Stacie's Blog is: http://stacie-heeeeerestorkeystorkey.blogspot.com/ She updates quite regularly with pictures. Speaking of roller coaster... wow, she's been through a lot and is still in it. **Laurie, I don't know what to say. There are no words to say. Be strong? |

Hi everyone. Please forgive me for not going back to read all of the posts I missed. I tried and caught some of the happenings, but I am sure there is a lot I have missed. I just wanted to say hello to you all and wish you all well. Karen--I just have to tell you again how beautiful your little girl is! Congratulations again! How are you doing in the mommy role? I am nervous about that part! Tracy--trying for numero dos already! I hope this is the month for you! How is the baby? Dana--I am soooooo happy that things are going well for you! Did you say what you are having or will it be a surprise? It won't be long now until we have another addition to our thread family. Meme--thanks for the invite! I have already been there and commenting. The mommy and daddy to be look so happy! Rachel--I am looking forward to hearing what is up on your end. You have been missed! Natasha--hope you and the baby are doing well! Are you ready for number two, too? Cynthia--I don't know if I have welcomed you to the thread or not. If not, welcome! How are you doing? What is going on with your ttc this month? Jen--hope school is going well. I am sure you are soooo ready for winter break. Almost there! How are you? TTC#3--how are you doing? Kristi--hope all is well with you...update us on what is happening there. Laurie--no worries, okay? Keeping everything crossed. I'll write when I get the chance. As for me, a wise woman reminds me to take it one day at a time. I try and am successful a lot of the time, but there are momments when I am terrified about everything. the what ifs can take me to some scary places. It can all be so overwhelming. Thank you for all of the support you all have given me--through my ttcing and now through this. You are wonderful. Take care and I hope to talk to you soon, Stacie |
