    Morning everyone! It's official, I'm in the 1ww FINALLY! Getting closer. Feeling less crazed (so far!) today and going to get a pedicure this afternoon which will surely make everything better.. I'm 7dp2dt..I think I'll start my POASing frenzy on Saturday, just for kicks.

    purple - wow your babies are so cute... great photo.

    Nostoppingme - did you think of advertising in Craigslist? That's where I found my the first time. And the funny thing she was my favorite girl from an agency but I didn't want to pay agency fees so strangly enough she saw my ad and contacted me herself. the good thing about that is you get to know the person at least her name and see photos and you can see if she is willing to be a little open later on etc. but I know you already have picks good luck girl.

    Well you finally decided and I think you did great. congrats and can't wait to see how it goes.

    Cakegal - I am glad you are finally starting everything and hope it is successful Your protocole sounds about right. they will be transfering 5day blasto I guess. Good for you...

    HighHopesformama - hope your cold is gone now dear. It's going to be an exiting time in September... you go girl!! Enjoy a nice peaceful summer ;)

    rss - everything sounds good girl... can't wait for it. I hope you get all 5 hpt positive Yes tiredness is DEFINITLY a SIGN way to go girl you are doing great! It's ok to loose it one day girl it's your hormones ... you are preggo I am sure of it now!! So POAS Saturday sounds good to me

    cynderella4 - your request for prayers has now been granted good luck at your U/S I know everthing is going to be ok.

    mominw8ting - friday is tomorrow girl you are almost there keep it up.

    tonysmom - good luck to you too can't wait to hear.

    Southern - you can definitly test Saturday... good luck girl, only 2 more days to go... prayers your way! Hey girl you are giving up... you just wait and see ok positive now...

    AFM - Nothing new really. Just found out my friend finally adopted and also got pregnant... how exiting... I am so happy for her.

    We also find the house a little small where we are. Good it's only a rental. We need more cubburds space for towels, kitchen, storage etc... just don't have it where we are. So it's nice though not to be in a rush the house prices are supposed to drop (let's hope) and maybe our perfect house will come up within a year who knows.

    Work is a little slow but it's ok I have fun on the computer. The kids just finished school so they are exited to just have summer camp now...

    My mom is still a pain and woke me up last night and so I lost 4 hours of sleep oh boy!!

    Have a good week everyone.

    Hi Ladies! My first ultrasound was this morning and we have a baby!! Measured at 6 wks 4 days, (just as I calculated) and the heart beat was 122! Everything looks great so far! Thank you all so much for your prayers!

    Dont give up ladies! My best advice is to think outside the box, dont just take your Drs word for everything, be your own advocate! I truly feel that finding out about my food intolerances (which created cortisol in my blood) and my vitamin D deficiency really improved my quality and got me pregnant after 3 yrs of trying! If you have eggs, you can get pregnant! The book The Infertility Cure is really good and gives a combination of western and eastern medicine concepts.

    I am beside myself and so happy! Im sending all this positive energy to all of you! Good Luck!

    Hang in there..at least tomorrow is Friday and the weekend begins. KUP on Saturday!

    AFM - Nothing to report! Just wanted to say . Boobs still killing me, but that's all.. and I noticed in my notes from last time that my boobs were huge and killing me then, and I didn't get PG.. Darn progesterone! I wish I could have a sign. I'm not suffering from exhaustion or a backache anymore, so I have nothing to grasp onto!!! Just have to wait it out...

    I began today looking at these posts. I had slight hope because I was reading that cramps could possibly mean pregnancy but I got up to use the bathroom and discovered I had started...I'm pretty drunk now and my birthday is on Sunday...anyone respond to these still?

    OK. First Lupron shot was well.....it took me 25 minutes to get that needle in me. That tiny needle. Ended up having to get DH to do it. I can do this,right? Tomorrow will be better I think. *sigh* This is all I have wanted for years. Now I'm freezing over some tiny needle?.........

    Needles give me the heeby-jeebys, so I'm sure I'll be like that too! The shot made it in so thats what counts right? I hope tomorrow is easier for you, and I know it will be .

    You can do this!! Let DH do it a few times, and then try it yourself..or just have DH do all of them - which is a good way to include him in the process. My first couple IVF rounds I had DH do all the injections and mixings and whatnot, but then I just took over.

    Happy Friday everyone! How long does the trigger stay in your system? If I took it on Sunday the 13th, it should be out of my system by now (12 days later), right?

    I have no self control with POASing, as you know, and I tested this morning, even though it's only 8dp2dt, and I got a faint positive line..So I'm not sure if it's the trigger still in me, or a real faint positive. I showed DH, so it's confirmed I'm not seeing things..I guess I just have to wait until tomorrow, though, and try again. AHH..the waiting is so hard!!! Wish me luck, girls!!!

    Hi Ladies! I am meeting with the RE next week to discuss moving on to IVF. Those of you who have been through this, are there specific things that I should be asking him? What do I need to know? Are there things that you would've liked to know prior to your cycles?? Thanks so much!

    I found it really hard to give myself the first couple of shots...it does get better!

    Or like the others said, just have DH give you all the shots!

    I tried taking a pic, but I can't get a good one! I think my camera is not good enough to get a clear 'macro' shot. I did the FRER, so it's a faint pink line.. but if I get another positive tomorrow I will try one of the digi ones that says Pregnant or Not Pregnant.

    I had a mini break-down every night! My only phobia in life are needles. I have awful, skinny veins, so I’ve had terrible experiences growing up. However, I’m also a control freak, so I had to give myself the shots. I would literally get red, and break out into a sweat about 15 min. before and then during the shot. It would take me about 10-20 min. just holding the injection and talking myself into it. (I know, very dramatic) DH did have to give me the Progesterone shots because I couldn’t give it to myself in the booty.

    I am so happy you guys made a decision and can now move forward. I think it’s great that you got additional info. about her through the office workers. Look are important, of course, but personality traits are also very important because I do believe we are all products of both nature and nurture. And since you are also doing a mock protocol before the actual, I know this is going to be your cycle! I can’t wait for your BFP!! I’m going to celebrate out here when you get it. When is the earliest you can start?

    I hope so! I keep looking at the stick from this morning thinking "could it really be?" Tomorrow morning can't come fast enough!! Tonight we have dinner plans with a friend, but I have to come up with some excuse for not drinking! At least the evening will pass and then I can sleep and wake up and POAS again!!!!

    Tested this morning and "Not Pregnant". The digital HPT's are the most reliable so it looks like I'm out. No sympotoms at all. Will call RE office when it opens to see when I should come in, I think I'm scheduled for Tuesday. Our insurance will cover 5 more IVF's. I hope we don't use them all
