Waiting rooms

so as I sit here writing to you all I am sitting in my doctors office...AGAIN. Is there really anything worse than waiting to hear the fate of your family? As I sit in the office i wonder if the doctor has any idea of how nerve racking it is, every second feels like an hour as you wait patiently. Why do they surround you with nothing but magazine about being pregnant. If we were pregnant than i wouldnt be here in your waiting room. Lol Here i am again waiting for a doctor to tel me our next steps if this cycle is a bust! Sorry if my spelling is bad it's because my fingers are shaking so bad. Haha. It seems funny to me that just yesterday we were sitting in the same seats excited to have another iui done. Excited at the possibility of this month being our month to see the second line on the pee stick :). Only you ladies could understand thr rollercoaster i am on st this very moment lol!

Yesterday went very well our numbers were fantastic and the nurse said my levels were perfect so we shal see. I really hope you are all well and successful in your next try. Thoughts and prayers to all of us

    Charlotte,
    How cruel to have you back the day after the iui to talk about the next step! You should be floating on cloud 9 with lots of pictures of you with a big belly or a baby in your arms today! Not nervously sitting in a waiting room! :D. I know the docs all want to give us good news but sometimes they don't think about all the stress and anxiety! They talk about it in all the paperwork but have they ever experienced it? Don't worry about the next step just take a deep breath and focus on the step right in front of you. All week in the different settings I have looked down and my belly and seen it big and pregnant! That way you don't have to stress about maybe.

    Sending lots of prayers and babydust to you!

    haha..i agree robin! Thank goodness all went well in my appointment yesterday!! They were very upbeat and positive and they support our decision to not rush into ivf quite yet. Which i am very thankful for. Not to say there is anything wrong with ivf..we are just not financially prepared quite yet to drop the amount of money necessary to do it considering our insurance dont cover anything :o . I was worried they were going to shove it down my throat and they didnt :D
    I feel good about this cycle..our motility was the highest it has been and our timing was right. I will find out on my birthday if it worked so i am hoping that the best gift is about to arrive. I hope this is more than wishful thinking

    I have actually taken your advice this cycle and plan to imagine i AM pregnant this next two week and be excited instead of nervous!!

    How are you..how are you feeling? I really feel inspired by your journey and my fingers are crossed for you this month...this just has to be the one!!!

    baby dust to you ROBIN!!

    Charlotte,
    Thanks for the kind words! I almost cried when I read them. I had just bought the pregnancy test and was feeling so positive! Then out of the blue, af arrives!? She has never come before I tested! So off I go to the docs probably on Thursday for a baseline ultrasound. Here's hoping there are no cysts!

    Sending lots of prayers and baby dust too you!

    i might be asking the wrong question...but are you sure it is AF..is there a chance it might be spotting since it is early?

    My words for you are very sincere and I hope you know that I truly wish the best for you...I am sure you are overwhelmed with sadness at the moment but please know you are NOT alone! We are all here for you and know just how much raw emotion you are feeling right now. I do hope that tomorrow will be a better day and that you remember how hard you have fought to just be at this moment..to be in the game. And for as crazy as this may sound I am thankful that we still have a shot and are in this crazy game. My favorite nurse who is so encouraging tells me after each BFN that as long as Im trying..I still have a great shot of this working. And the same is said for you. Your strong..Your a fighter and most importantly you are a good person..and I believe GOOD things happen to GOOD people

    So brush yourself off..and lets give it another shot in September!!

    Prayers to you robin

    Charlotte,
    Thanks...last night I was hoping it was just spotting but af came full force today! So definately no baby this month. I was not as upset as after the first and second iui. I think that's because I was so happy to be back at this. I agree that each month I stay at this the closer I get to my final destination and I am so thankful that I was able to even try this month. So here is hoping there is no cyst and I can do this again this month!
    Thanks for the words of encouragement they mean a lot to me! Here's to september!
