Jess-
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. Its taken me a long time to get to this place...and don't get me wrong I still have those tough days, but I'm learning to push through & just know that God's giving me the strength to get through...even when I don't feel like I can do it another day. And I'm sure when another tough day rolls around for me-- I can vent to you ladies for a good pick me up!.....

Thanks girls for all the prayers for SIL- she seems to be holding on still!

Jessica your words to Karla were beautiful!

Karla- its so good to hear that you are in a such a good place. It is all in God;s hands- its hard to understand why our lives turn the way they do, but He must know what He's doing!

Tracy- I hope its a girl!!! One of each would be great!

Audra- it is sooo good to be back on track again!
for Baby A- no more spotting! Hope the M/S gets better. Can you take Zofran? It was a miracle worker when I had the OHSS for the nausea- and is safe for preg women. Not sure if you can with your other meds.

I need my willpower to hold out here- I'm ready to dive into some Pizza after the morning I've had!

Well its only appropraite I post my drama of the day on the May thread- since its what it stims from. My insurance has denied all claims resulting from the OHSS- since its a complication of an uncovered benefit. So we're out another $7000 for my hospital stay and for the Re's fees- fun. One more reason you don't ever want OHSS!
DH is going to call the hospital today to see if they can discount some of the fees. I don't even want to think about how much we've spent over the past 2 years- it has to be close to $30,000. If we didn't have to pay for all this- we would be rich-LOL! Good thing we bought a business last year!

Oh well -its just money- and is all worth it.

for the May girls!

Hey Girls!!

Just wanted to pop over and say hi. Audra told me about the thread and it is great to see how everyone is doing. DH and I switched to a new RE. We have about a hour drive each way but it is so worth it. Our new RE has amazing success rates and is a pioneer with PGD. We had a ton of new and re-testing done and everything is completely normal so we are hoping that PGD will be the key. We are having FET #2 done on 10/15 so keep me in all your prayers. I will have to check out the thread more thoroughly and say hi individually

Linz~...I know that has to be frustrating!!! I swear insurance companies do whatever they can to get out of paying for medical stuff!.....Hopefully the hospital will be willing to work with you on the $$ aspect.
How is you & DH's business going???

[kaym82]

Jennifer~ it was good to hear from you! Good luck on your FET!! Praying this will be your time & bring you & your DH the happiness you deserve!

[Linz712]

Jen that is great! I this is it for you!

Karla- Our business is great- very busy right now! DH is good- he got switched from teaching 5th garde to 4th (which he is very very happy about!)
Life is good- if I could just get preg it would icing on the cake!

Do you girls ever wonder if it just wasn't meant to be? I mean- DH and I are very happy- we have a great marriage, wonderful family- I just wonder sometimes. I mean- I always pictured myself with a family- I love kids- I know we would make great parents- just pondering the universe over here............

[kaym82]

Linz~ You will have children & you will get pregnant- it is meant for you girlie!... I have had people tell me if I can't get pregnant by natural means (no fertility meds)...it wasn't meant for us to have our own children we were meant to adopt. I wouldn't mind adopting, but I totally disagree with that statement! I think for whatever reason there are people out there like us, that struggle with IF. For the life of me I don't understand it, I swear it seems like those of us who go through it would be better parents than some of those who have children & get preggo the first month they try.
I know its meant to be for all of us to become parents. I think anything is possible with faith & a determined mind set. Sometimes things just don't work out in the time frame we want & for me that is one of the hardest things to swallow. IF gets tiresome, draining $$, & emotionally.
Linz- I have no doubts you & your DH will make wonderful parents- that day isn't going to be far off!! Keep hanging in there!...Besides you might become a family of 5 in one shot!!!
I ponder the ole universe a lot....This isn't the way I planned my life. I've always wanted a family too. We'll get there & I believe we'll cherish every moment so much more b/c of our struggle to get there!

Doesn't it make it harder too when people say you guys would make such good parents...?!?!
Its like if you only knew.....

[kaym82]

Hey does anyone know how to post photos on the thread?...I know how to do the default photos, but not posting photos....
I thought it would be cool to post photos of our us & our DH's, pets, etc....what do y'all think???
I'll go first if someone tells me who to post some pics....

[jessicap518]

I just learned the other day...when you go to post reply there is a paperclip icon next to the smiley face by the font...click that and then upload the photo you want to display in the message....I think it is a wonderful idea!!

[Linz712]

Karla- You're such a good online friend! You left me in tears!
I'll post a pic as long as it doesn't have to be of me balling on the couch right now!

[kaym82]

Linz...I meant every word. And its the truth....you just got to believe it!! Sometimes the hardest things to believe are the things we can't see.... YET...but they are there & they will happen for you...I know it!
PM me anytime girl...I'm serious!
And yes, post pics, but no sad ones...

Jess....I'm going to try to upload some soon, but if I run into trouble I might PM you!....This will be fun you guys!!!

Thank you. I really hope that this is it. I am so ready to move on with our lives. Tired of the shots, tired of the Dr's, tired of the emotional rollercoaster, just tired of it all! I know it will be so worth it in the end though. I have gotten to a point that if this isn't going to be the way Dh & I get pregnant, then I just want to know so we can move on to Plan B. I am willing to keep going with IVF but if it just isn't going to work, then I have to accept it. (I still believe that it will though)
