Again thank you for being here when my emotions go haywire.
Houston Denise and Jan thank you for sharing with me your thoughts it does mean a lot. I've confronted many challenges I hadn't imagined I'd feel.
I'm truly grateful to you all.
Houston- I'm excited your half way through your TWW. And sorry to hear about your mother.
Kisses
Keep this is mind- the Universe works in amazing ways. You will have the child that's meant for you & when you do you'll be so happy he/she is yours. I wouldn't assume you'll always be single. You very well may meet someone & everything will fall into place with your family. It always does. Life has a funny way of changing...
Lisa I too have guilt about my baby not having a daddy. But having one isn't always so great as some of the other ladies said. More so I feel bad that my kid has to grow up in suburban South Carolina with 2 moms and grandparents that don't want to be part of their lives because moms aren't "really" married and shouldn't be together anyway. Nothing about this is easy, but just think of it all as practice for being a mom. More roller coasters are ahead and soon you'll have a precious little one to share them with!
Lisa- you are a very strong person. You are going to be the BEST mom EVER. Take a deep breath and start again looking for that 1 donor that fits you perfectly.
The girls are absolutely correct when they say..everything works itself out. And your friends...they try to understand but probably never will quite like all of us. I have comments on a daily basis from my work people...your going to get fat...get another dog instead... To you have no idea what you are getting yourself into. I could go on and on. People are people I guess.
Lots of hugs to everyone!!!!
The ovidrel shot is now totally out of my system because I'm not having any symptoms. Unfortunately, it's kind of freaking me out/making me think I'm gonna have a BFN. I know that I'm barely into the implantation window, but still, hard to stay rational about these things.
Want to test, not going to test....really really really want to test, not going to test.
Update: Yay! It worked! You have to be logged in to see the pics, otherwise it looks like it just posts as a link.
D-rizzy - if you still need help uploading your US pic, here ya go
- While in the text box/writing a post, click on the "insert image" icon (3rd from right on top menu bar)
- The "Insert Image" box should open; click the "Basic Uploader" link in the bottom right corner.
- Click the "Browse" button. This should allow you to select an image from your desktop/photo files.
Hope this helps!
It seems like we all have somewhat different experiences w/our various REs so who knows.
Kerri - why did you start testing on day 12? I thought I was supposed to wait until day 14. I'm reluctant to start testing because I'll probably be opening a Pandora's box of daily UPT cray-cray.
I went today for my nurse visit to go over the drug protocol I'll be on in three weeks! The best part is she called the embryologist and asked again if one vial would be okay. He said yes they like to have two as a back up if the first one is not good. If that were the case I would have the eggs frozen till more donor sperm was available. So she said it was my choice. So of course I said hell yes I'm sending my only baby daddy vial right now!!! What a relief. God is good! I'm just soo thrilled!
Back to you guys. I'm not sure I understand why having four follicles is a bad thing? And reason not to do your iui. It seems like a great number but maybe I don't understand it all though.
Houston, my doctor said I could start testing at Day 12 as well but not to get discouraged with negatives that early in the game. I waited until Day 14 to start but didn't get a positive until Day 16. So I guess it depends on how many pregnancy tests you want to spend money on!!
I still would go for it
OK - I'm heading to the damn Dollar Store after work for a giant crate of UPTs. Y'all are officially BAD INFLUENCES!!!! LOL!!!!
This was our fourth IUI and our first medicated round. The first 3 he had said not to test until day 14. This cycle however we had in his words" two really great days of sperm and well.. oh shit and you had seven eggs. I am not going to bet my paycheck on it but test in 12 days and call me if you get a positive. Don't freak out if you get a negative until your get a period." It was something along those lines. Day 11 I got a negative and day 12 I got a positive. I am 5 weeks now (going back in the am for the final beta) and then will have the first u/s next week. Here's hoping that all is well tomorrow as I had some spotting today that totally freaked me out.
Jana- our RE says that it's a 20% chance per try that you get pregnant and of that 20% change, if you got pregnant that it's a 10% chance or something like similar that someone would be pregnant with multiples. I would go for it... but that's me.
On another note.....I go in tomorrow for my ultrasound, I am praying so hard that my mature follicle is on the right this month. I don't want to sit out another month.
Kerri- good luck tomorrow with your last beta I can wait for the us. I'm totally betting twinzie's with you! You were a hot pocket of eggs!
Jan- sometimes going with what feels right is what's makes for the best endings to our stories. I'm sure it sucked to walk away this month but you get to try next month. I'm truly sorry.
Tx- good luck tomorrow with your US!!!
Good night everyone,
Lisa
