Whoo hoo, Mindi!!! Here's to your successful TWW! to you!

Jen, it is really your turn with #9 I'd say! Here's to a restful lazy weekend full of !

Charltac, I was told the IVF result takes longer than nat. or IUI results as for some reason it takes a little longer to implant - maybe someone else knows more...?

Ona, the sharp pain could be implantation! Especially if it starts to feel like a boring sensation... keep us posted on symptoms! Glad you had the party for a fun distraction!

Tami, sounds like a good time to re-evaluate and take stock of your protocol, timeframes and save up for the future baby! It will happen one way or another if you want it to. Good luck getting rid of the cysts. Are they putting you on BCP or just letting time take care of it?

Deej, thanks for the career update; impressive you've saved so well! I started out in private sector, but moved to public sector work a bit over a decade ago in preparation of eventual baby-making. I thought I might be getting married but didn't.... Decided I needed to consider being solo. Asked a few friends to be donors and mostly got turned down but the current flakey BF said yes . But he stalled when I got set up for IVF in '06. I was hurt and planned to go to CZ and use donor sperm, but then I waffled about it. Finally went in Mar. 08 - 2nd day of cycle developed a high fever and horrible cold ensued... just miserable with jet lag also. After that, three IUI's with DS all BFN and decided to stay stateside for IVF in Sept. Decided to give flakey BF another chance and seems he will be KD now. I hope to sell some real estate I (uh and the bank!) own by 2009 but 2011 latest and be prepared financially and careerwise to have more free time. Hoping for one bio child and some adopted or foster siblings for it, but one thing at a time(!).
