Hiya everyone..the old thread looked too long..so i made a new one..hope you didn't mind..anyway..not feelin much..9dpo...soooo ready to know


duckiec - June 19th, 2007 7:37 PM

Hi over here... will be back later, sorry ladies another run-around day and I'm trying to disconnect for a bit... gotta focus on being positive (so much easier said than done!) Back soon!

Good to see a new thread. I wonder how soon this one will get long, LOL! Thanks Alivia. Robyn- I am not offended at all. I have a half brother who just married a Jewish girl last summer (oh my, it has already been almost a year for them!) Anyway, he converted to Jewdism (is that how I say or spell it?). I have many "flavors" in my family/extended family, LOL. I know it is a hard religion to be in, very strict and all. I know what you meant about your psychic friend. Not a "friend friend" but because of your relationship you consider her a friend. I think it's neat when people can tap into their gifts (I like to call it) and be able to use them honestly. Alright Tory on your pg progress! I am glad that you get a scan next week. Sorry you are feeling so sick. But I hear that is a good sign of pregnancy. I know for sure that I too will be nervous when and if we try again. I have to say "if" because I am not sure where dh stands on this at this point. But I am staying positive that we can add one more to our family. I think after Thursday's appt. it will help us both see what direction we want to take. Hugs to all and lots of hopeful healthy baby dust to us all!!!!!!!!

Im soo soo sorry that Ive disappeared again!!! The moving thing takes a lot out of a girl. We are almost all in.. we still have a couple things to move.. and 2 rooms need to get painted. Im just soo tired. My van broke yesterday.. the last 3 days have been interesting to say the least. Seems there is a lot of chatting going on!! GOOD! Stef: You are a fountain of info.. gracious I almost think if I asked you a question about the moon.. you could give me a full descriptive answer. Your a smart girl! How are you by the way??? Tory: Sounds like the bean is doing wonderfully.. and I hope your next scan is one of the best experiences of your life! coco: Welcome to the group, Im sorry that you find us on such sad circumstances. Im sorry about your entire ordeal.. and I hope you find some comfort talking to these wonderful ladies.. i dont know what I would do without them.. i sincerely mean that. Duckie: I hope you can see a hemotologist ASAP. My sil has a bleeding disorder called "Von Willebrands" its the female version of Hemophilia. She is in the midst of finding a doctor that can help her sustain a pregnancy. Sounds like youre taking all of the right measures to have a healthy baby.. sounds like your bean is nice and happy in there more then doubling the HCG levels.. GOOD JOB BEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oncemore: How are things? Alivia: Have you tested yet.. by the time you read this youll be 10dpo.. isnt that close enough? You could always try. Robyn: Ive still got the pom poms out.. ive gotta get creative since im dealing with TWINS NOW!!!!! I know you dont want to get your hopes up.. but WOOHOOOOOO! Reminds me of that gum commercial.. about doublemint Double your pleasure.. Double your fun!!! This is awesome news girly!! As for me... today AF is due.. so im going to wait patiently for her arrival.. i have really no pregnancy symptoms at all.. and I had a couple of cramps today.. so Im pretty sure she is on her way for a visit. Im going to try temping again next cycle.. ive gotta get up at 5 30 everyday! Anyway.. im exhausted and if i go to bed now ill get 4 hours of sleep!! Woohoo! Hugs for all of you girls.. and hellos for everyone i missed! ~Kristin~


stefkay - June 20th, 2007 8:29 AM

Morning girls :-) Tory, it sounds like everything is going great! Yes, I totally forgot to mention that when buying omega 3 fish oil make sure there is NO fish liver used in it. The best fish is salmon, but mackerel, anchovy, etc. is fine. I think shark should be avoided though. Ahhhhh it's all enough to make your head spin! Well, Jessie is going to the hospital tonight after work to give blood for the chromosome karyotype. I won't have results for probably a month. I think the tests the specialist ran on me aren't really going to tell anything. I really don't feel like I'm going to come out of all of this with anything more than the MTHFR diagnosis and even with that my doctors all have seemed to think it is not the cause of miscarriage. I just had my homocysteine levels checked and am waiting to hear back on that. If it is elevated then I've been doing what I can already to help (folic, b vitamins). soooooo, I'm feeling kind of frustrated at the moment because I want to be trying and it's not even been a month :-( since the m/c. ROBYN, I have wanted to go to a psychic for so so long but I've been scared because I'm afraid I'll go and get bad news like "you can't ever have children", LOL! Ok, i know that's not funny but I am soooo tempted to go. I've seen one place here in town that has a psychic and it has been here forever I ' ve never heard anything about the person though and don't know anyone who has ever been to one...?


ROBYN - June 20th, 2007 8:41 AM

Morning girls, so Jason forced me to test last night after what my pyschic said he said you piss and i will read now its only freaking 4 days past transfer last night so its... and BFP BFP BFP BFP BFP!!!! I cannot believe the lines was so faint literally so so faint so i tested again this morning with 1st pee at 6am and that bitch came right up 2 lines. Man i am only 5 days past the transfer could be multiples huh!! I am not gonna get the beta till Monday since my clinic will kill me for testing this early. Yesterday i had no cramping till after work it was mild and when i was getting my hair done i started to think i was getting a tiny bit queasy so i wrote it off thinking it was just in my head and i have NEVER been queasy with Anthony or the last time. So... my boobs do not hurt at all but i guess its real i am cautiously optimisitic but we are real happy


ROBYN - June 20th, 2007 8:44 AM

Kristin whats the new cheer!! STEF i have always beleived in that kinda stuff but the woman i use is wonderful and its word of mouth so so so many people use her and i have been seeing her for a bout 3 years i go every 6 months for a "touch up" but shes been right on the money. If didnt call her yesterday i wouldnt have tested i had made that promise but Jason said he needed to know considering he was the one saying you better not be testing till the weekend.,



Tory1980 - June 20th, 2007 8:53 AM

Robyn, congratulations sweetheart!!!!! About time too! Can you believe you are going to be a mummy again? Kristin where is that cheer. You had better have un-packed those pom-poms!!!! All my pregnancies have been different with symptoms etc so don't compare hem or you will drive yourself insane! Plus it's twins so things are different hormone wise etc.!! Congratulations!!!! Sef, fingers crossed on the tests. I don't know what will be better - finding nothing with Jessie or finding something and hope it can be treated. A month seems like a very long time to wait for answers. Don't forget tuna steak is to be limited to only one a week due to high mercury. It changes all the time so it will be interesting to see what I can and can't eat now! LOL! I have never been to a psychic but I suppose you could say I am 'open' to the idea. I have never thought to see one though. If nothing else, Stef, put it down as research. You never know, they may surprise you.


AmericanReject - June 20th, 2007 8:57 AM

oncemore - June 20th, 2007 9:02 AM

CONGRATULATIONS ROBYN!!!!!!! That is so awsome! My neice (the one that is pg with a boy now-was 21/2weeks before me) She had twin girls 2 yrs ago and boy was she sick! She could not keep anything down those hormones were just climbing soooo fast! She had a rough start with the sickness and such, but sooooo worth it! I bet you are on your way. She said that a protien shake at night before bed helped her alot! I will ask her about any other helps, k. My temp is back down to 97.3 and last night I had the munchies for salty chips and chocolate (which I ate! LOL) and this morning I have like pms cramps and bloating. Do you think I will have af soon? I don't get it????? Kristin, I might be with you on a new cycle. Af might be coming for me too sooner than expected. I hope that isn't an issue with a short luteal phase if that happens. I know that the whole moving thing is soooo exhausting. Sorry your van was giving you issues!!!!! Ugh. Hope all is ok now. I have a lot of stuff going on today, so I will have to chime in later this night. Have a great day everyone! WooHoooooo Robyn!!!!!!!


Tory1980 - June 20th, 2007 9:03 AM

Hi AR! I remember those spin classes, as does my legs, my ass, my feet, my back....... I am 10w6d today, next u/s is 27th June and my booking at the hospital. I think I might ask for a Home Birth just to see the Midwife's and Consultants faces! LOL! Still using Doppler, HB is higher than a few weeks ago - 153-162 BPM so maybe a girl? We will find out in about six months! Test already woman. AllI had symptom wise with this pregnancy was tingling boobs!


oncemore - June 20th, 2007 9:05 AM

Thanks for the idea Alivia! I think I will do that with dh! I have been trying to figure out how to bring up the subject, but couldn't get the nerve to do it, so that is a good idea with dinner and a movie on the night after I find out info. Thanks sweetie!


ROBYN - June 20th, 2007 9:56 AM

You girls are just too funny this morning. Ok... i dont know if there are multiples in there i am praying for just one. But at this stage this early i think its pretty possible that there could be multiples its very early to pick up hcg this soon. But what you all have to realize when doing IVF i dont have to go thru the natural process that you do my embryos dont have to travel down the fallopian tubes get fertilized (inside) all of that is done in a lab for me. I bypass all the normal stuff that you have to wait for. So on a frozen cycle they transferred these blastocysts and place them in my uterus. All the blast or embryo has to do is just implant all of the rest is done for it. So when an RE can culture an embryo to the blast stage the rates for implantation really really increase plus they did assisted hatching also for which they break the hard shell around the blast so all the odds really go in the favor of the patient when they can do this kind of technology. Now of course there are no guarantees that this will work but my RE has always said that my chances were better this time i seem to have no problem getting pregnant with IVF so lets hope no "fluke" or m/c happens. ALIVIA - my boobs do not hurt at all. All i have is minor cramping that really is it for now. Now i am only 3 weeks pregnant the IVF calculator has me due March 1st 2008 so i dont how the ivf nurse came up with March 4th but whos gonna care about 3 days here or there. Now i know i will be having a c-section again so that will make me earlier and if they are twins its earlier than that. So wait and see the real beta is Monday. LORI - if you Od you are gonna get your period 14-18 days from the date you O'd GUARANTEED unless your pregnant again. But these girls on here have instilled that in my head i didnt believe it till it happened. So do you know for fact that you O'd and have you taken any hpts to see if you are coming up negative thats a good indicator of whats going on.


stefkay - June 20th, 2007 10:19 AM

ROBYN!!! Now I can say CONGRATULATIONS again!!! :-D Wow! 5day past transfer and already 2 lines! That is a very very very good sign! I just was checking in quick and saw your post, but I'll have to come back later. This is wonderful news :-) xoxoxo Stef


AmericanReject - June 20th, 2007 10:23 AM

LORI i'm glad you liek the idea..i think it will just be a nice way to relax together..and if he doesn't feel like going out you could always rent a movie and cook a nice quiet dinner at home...that way if you need to talk about something then you always have the option of crying and have people not staring..lol...ROBYN...lol sounds complicated but your still lucky..i dunno if i have it now..i'm afraid to test to get the negative..and i dunno..still think its a bit early to test..i dunno..just giving myself every excuse not too...i mean...sigh..i dont have any strong symptoms...


AmericanReject - June 20th, 2007 10:25 AM
