Lynn, how are you? I am still praying as the countdown gets smaller. Hope all is well. Also, thank you for the kind words about Cadie and all of your support. It means the world to me!!

Lynn, how did it go? I have been wondering if you have any news to share. I hope it worked this time.

Casie...hey, nope did not work this month. Got AF on Thursday and I have decided to take May off. I am actually trying to decide of I should continue with all of this. It is so frustrating. I knwo I will never give up but I just cannot keep the disappointment coming month after month. How is Cadie? I am sure she is growing. How about big brother......is he lovin' her. Talk to you soon.

well casie, I think we have lost helen and i hope carries tops to let us knoww hat has happened. if not, I am glad you have stuck around and hope cadie is doing well.

Lynn, I am so sorry to hear about you not making it this month. I completely understand wanting to take a month off and trying to decide whether to continue. I think it is a very personal decision that is very difficult to make. I have struggled with that decision before, but I have not been through as much as you. My heart really goes out to you!! I am sorry we lost Helen, and I hope that Carrie checks in too. Otherwise, I am always here for you!! Cadie is doing great. I am actually getting ready to take Corbin and Cadie to the park. I hope Corbin can get some good play time in before Cadie needs to nurse again!!

Hey Casie...how was the park???? I have an appointment with my RE tomorrow at 4:00pm to "talk about a plan". I have so many questions and just want to make sure I am not reaching for something that is not possible. I appreciate your thoughts and that you will be around to chat with. Thanks.... Okay, talk to you later.

Lynn- I have been trying to stay of these boards as things have been so emotional and all. First of all, you must not give up. I know that it is hard but you deserve to have a child and have been a true inspiration for me through all my diffcult let downs will your support and kind words. It will happen. As you know I did IVF and Tues may beta test came back positive. They are testing me again tomorrow to confirm. It has been a long road but I want you to see that things are possible. You have already overcome so much. Please hang in there

Carrie.......Please keep us posted on this process. I have been thinking about you and was hoping for good news. How many did you decide to have implanted back in? Casie...How are you doing? Did the kids like the park? Went to RE and our plan is to do another cycle of IUI + donated follistim (RE is giving me) so my insurance will not be an issue. He said a couple cycles of that and then talk about something else. I am willing to do 2 more cycles and then I think I need to call it quits. I cannot find the money at this point to do IVF. I did read an article at RE about going to Canada for IVF at half the cost. Makes you wonder why it is sooo much here in the states. Anyway, keep me posted with both of you.

Hello Casie and Carrie.....

Lynn, Corbin loved the park. We could not stay long because it was very windy and sunny, but he was appreciative. Cadie slept through it, but that is nothing new. She is a very good baby!! I am glad that you are trying a couple of more months. I am very much in hope that it works this time. I agree with Carrie that you very much deserve a baby!! It would be interesting to know why Canada is so much cheaper. It might be worth looking in to for you.

Casie...I will keep you posted. Happy Mother's Day!!!! Bet your going to have a good one. I estimate AF to arrive June 1, 2 or 3rd. I am to call RE when it begins so they can get me the follistim. Carrie, how are you doing?

Lynn, thank you!! I had a pretty good day. I am a tad sleep deprived, but other than that, all is well. Corbin seems to be regressing a little. That is hard to cope with. It is not easy to see him going back and doing baby like behavior like wetting the bed. He says he does not get up and go because I am not there with him. My husband thinks I should ignore this and he will grow out of it, but that is very hard to do. Anyhow, how are you doing? June is not that far away now!!

Casie...I am doing fine. Tried naturally and now I am in the 2ww period. Who knows. I would think Corbin is doing all of this because he has a new little sister. He might not know where he fits into all of this. Over time I think it will heal and get better. I teach preschoolers and see this lots when a new little sibling arrives. Keep me posted. Sorry your sleep deprived...but I am sure it is worth it.

Lynn, she is definitely worth all of the fuss!! Corbin has good and bad days. I am trying to include him in everything. I am sure once he can do more with her, he will feel a little better about everything. I will be praying through this 2ww. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the prayers Casie. I am so needing everything I can get. I just found out yet another fellow teacher is pregnant. It is #4 for her. I am happy but........my feelings are all over the place. I think Corbin will come out of this just fine. I wonder how Carrie is doing. I am sorry Helen left. I would have love to follow her through. Oh well, maybe they will show back up for an update. Talk to you again soon.

Lynn, I would love for Helen to have stayed too!! I also wonder how Carrie is doing. I know that this 2ww is torture. Just think. It will be over soon. I know it must be hard for you to hear about other women being pregnant. It was always hard for me. Now I am trying to deal with the fact that my husband is having his vasectomy this Thursday. I am truly blessed to have two wonderful children, but it is hard to know that from this point forward children will not be an option. It is such a permanent decision, and I am only 27 (almost 28 ~ in July). Let me know how things are going.
