hi girls...Carrie, i'm so glad the IUI went well. how is the 2ww coming along? i'm so happy you found a little humor in such a stressful situation. keep those thoughts with you. i'm also glad to hear you are keeping an open mind to IVF. it will happen for you, i promise!!! Lynn, how's the bd'g coming along? that is so exciting that you have 2 follies on the left. i have a good feeling for you this month! as for the empty sac..the RE said the body will naturally absorb it, whatever that means. i've come to terms with it this weekend and moving forward to being blessed with the one i have. i made my 1st OB appt for March 10th, next Friday, and i am excited to see my baby again. by then, i'll be in my 9th wk. I'm sending you girls lots of hugs and baby dust for you 2ww!!! that's so great that you girls share almost the same cycles. i'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for the both of you!!!

Helen.....I know it was hard to hear you had 2 implant and one make it but I am glad you had success. It keeps the hope alive. Carrie, I have faith for both if us. Hopefully with dh good sperm count and your IUI, it is good luck for you. We offically did some serioud BDing Friday, Sunday and Monday so far. When RE called, he said dh sperm is okay and we needed to make sure we had intercourse Sun and Mon. I am debating on tomorrow for good measure. Any suggestions. check back later.

Bump

Carrie....Helen....how does it go? Carrie, we are in the dreaded 2 ww. I hope you are staying busy and stress-free. Helen...how are you feeling? Any sickness? Okiejpb...I know you check in and just hoping everything is going good.

Hello ladies practicing IVF...As a previous egg donor, just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in your prayers. We (donors) think and pray for you constantly-if only we could give you a hug. And it DOES work! My recipients are due to have a baby girl next month and have MANY eggs left over for future children. Good luck and God bless!

hi girls...sorry i've been gone a couple of days...my stupid internet service keeps going down, i have cable modem but since we've been having so many problems we are switching to dsl. Lynn, i have been feeling nauseous all day long and so dizzy. i can barely eat but force myself to for the baby's sake. and i am so tired all day long!!! so you should be done Bd'g...hope you had fun. can't remember the last time my DH and i had sex!!! i'm on restriction from bd'g for the next month. i'm praying really hard for you and Carrie to get pg this month. how do you girls feel? Amanda, that's a wonderful thing you've done to help out a couple in need. how many times have you been a donor? thanks for your prayers and thoughts. girls, hope the 2ww flies by with a bfp!!!

Helen...I am glad you are feeling yucky (I mean that in a good way) and I cannot wait to feel that. I can say if I get BFP soon....dh will be shut off for a while. Do not want to cause anything to happen. Carrie....how are you doing? I feel like this one is going sloooooow. 8 more days for me.

Hi ladies.. I'm hanging in there.. This wait is the pitts. I go in tomorrow morning so they can do the progestrone bloodwork, and then more waiting.. I'm still quite postive at the moment, which is a good sign. I really hope it is our month lynn. I am trying to remain stressful, but as a teacher of 9th grade..not so easy. I too feel like this 2ww is much longer..Maybe that is a good sign. I'll let you ladies know how the levels come out. Helen..happy morning sickness..can't wait till I'm there.. Hang in there

My RE does not do a 21 day progestrone test. Might ask about that. I did not realize you were a teacher also Carrie (or maybe we talked about this and I again forgot). That has been happening lots the last week. I so hope this is our month. I am getting worn thin with all of this and the desire kills sometimes. Let us know what happens tomorrow. later girls

Carrie.....Did you get your results back? I am feeling nothing this time around. Oh well.....Helen....are you a teacher also? I thought you said at one time you were. Maybe I am all confused. check back later

Thank god it is Friday..I got the results back and the progestrone level was 24..Of course she said that was great, and now it is wait and see. I am feeling a bit wierd..I'm sure it is nothing, but last night I had some cramps kinda like I do when my period is about to start, but they are gone now. I'm sure it is only wishful thinking. Hope you all are doing good

sounds like you girls are staying positive. Carrie, your progesterone #'s sound great. and the cramping feeling is a good sign. during my 2ww, it went by so slowly!!! Lynn, my clinic doesn't do a progesterone every month either. i had it done once when i started. i'm the only one on here who isn't a teacher. i'm a commodities broker...now semi-retired. my DH and I also own our own buisness as well. it does seem like a lot of teachers are on these boards...coincidence? or is the stress of teaching causing some ladies like Carrie, who has unexplained IF, to not conceive so easily? morning sickeness is the worst but i rather have them...it makes me feel like the pregnancy is progressing along. some days i have no symptoms and than i start to worry. i'm such a saddist!!! try to stay positive and think good thoughts. it does seem like this week went by sooo slowly, hopefully, the weekend will speed things along. i'm always thinking of you girls and you are in my prayers. sending you tons of baby dust!!!

Helen.....thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I am a teacher who has unexplained IF and often wonder if that is why. I know so many teachers who have issues. Some do not looked stress but who knows. TTC is stressful enough. I am on cd 20 and 7 dpo. I might could test next Saturday but I think I will wait and see this time. If nothing by Monday or Tuesday, I might consider testing. I got AF last month exactly 2 weeks after HcG trigger shot sooooo. Had some slight cramping this week but no signs now. Sometimes I am looking for signs but I cannot even find one dominant one. Oh well.....check back later. Keep the thought and prayers coming.

Carrie , you should try to remain stressful. That should help alot! DUH...

Carrie...that was not me. I am going to begin to sign in so only pay attention to "red" names. I dont know why people have to be so cruel.

Lynn - I saw later that I wrote stressful instead of stress free..Oh well you guys knew what I was saying. DH and I are taking a ski trip during spring break to relax and think about the IVF option..looking forward to me. Today is CD19 for me..so I think I am going to wait and see if AF comes before I test..that is just so disappointing. Helen- glad you are doing good. Everything will work out you too need to try and remain stress free! Have a great weekend ladies
