Yeah I think it is the lurpon, or combo of everything. I am going to go into work shortly. Make up for taking off early yesterday

It snowed overnight, but about an inch. It is supposed to warm up this week again, though!

Amy-I wanna know what you are wearing too . And give those jerks some hell for me for making you (and us) wait an extra day!

ronni, i am wearing khaki maternity pants and a babydoll type shirt w/ a denim jacket over it. i look ok i guess.

i am in a negative place and can't get out of it. i am terrified. i had cramping lastnight and some more brown discharge this morning. i hate this and i want to be positive but i feel like i could start crying at any moment. still no beta news and i can't handle it.

Amy I'm so sorry you're having to wait like this. Cruel and unusual punishment in my book. How are you going to get the call if you're at work?

Amy..I bet you look really cute! I'm sorry you are going through this stupid wait. Will you get the word at work or do you have to wait till you get home? I will be at my nursing job most of the day (it is really getting in the way of my social life..ie checking in with the girls!) but I will be looking for good news later on.

Jen..I wonder if the sleep problem is related to the dexamethasone..I know there are some nights where I wake up at 3am and can't get back to sleep for an hour. Not fun.

Good morning Ronni, Josee, Tia and everbody else!

Amy- Those little embabies are getting snug in there Amy! I too am having some brown spotting, hang in there Hun! I hope they get you your results very soon!

That post, it really made me angry. But I have no way with words at all. I'd come out like a bumbling idiot and one on that thread was enough. LOL.

Birthday party for my twin niece and nephew tomorrow and I can't even pick them up. *Sigh* It's okay, I'd rather be pregnant I'll just have to snuggle them when DH does.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic day!! Dh started his NEW job today.

Amy, that outfit sounds cute. What do kids know about pregnancy. Wait, don't tell me. If someone asks, you can laugh and say, One must never ask these kinds of questions unless they are prepared to hear all of the details and you sir or madam are not. Giggle and turnaway. I hope youcan keep really busy til they call.

Hi April!

I have my RE follow up today at 3. I am kinda nervous to hear what he has to say. I mean, the other second opinions are different. This guy has my BFNs on his stats and hands. I wonder if he'll be positive or try to wash his hands of me.

Amy, sorry you are feeling so anxious. I was going to say, try and not worry, but who am I to say that. I know exactly how you feel. But really, your first beta was so good I think you'll have some great news today.

Jen, are you still taking some benadryl? That stuff keeps me up and I find myself starring at the ceiling a good portion of the night. They also say not to give benadryl to kids unless you know how they react because it can make them bounce off walls. Just a thought? Or maybe you just have a lot on your mind right now.

Shawna, is your DH's job with the family business? Hope he likes it!!

Ronni, unfortunately that was the state of my embryos pre-freezing. I hope they fair well after the frosting experience?? Last time some of my little ones didn't make it. They didn't like being cold. Neither do I come to think of it.

Shawna-awesome that DH is starting his new job today. I hope he enjoys it.

Josee-good luck with your RE follow-up.

So I talked with my HR person and boy is she pissed (at BCBS). She called our rep, but the rep didn't answer, so she is going to continue calling until she gets somewhere. Cross your fingers for me, okay

I am glad everyone has your back, Jen. But I'll be even happier when they get your coverage.

I hope Amy gets her answer soon.

Thanks for the good wishes.

i just got a text from my ivf nurse "lab says still pending" wtf is that! how about a phone call and an explanation. then i call and she doesn't answer. i am beyond upset. i just texted my dh and told him he needs to take care of this immediately. more brown discharge and a horrible feeling in my gut. i just wish these first few weeks weren't so difficult. my poor students, i am so preoccupied. thank god they are taking an online assessment and i don't have to teach today.

Good luck today Josee! I know the consult after my 2nd failed IVF with my RE was not pleasant and I knew within seconds that we were done with him. I hope yours goes better!

Heidi - What are your next steps? Have you decided what you'll do or are you taking a break? I understand the disappointment you've felt and know a break did us some good.

Jen - You've got a whole team rallying for you! I hope they can strong arm BCBS for you.

I see Amy down there!!! What's the good word Amy???

D a m n Amy that's *F'd* up!!!! I'd be telling that nurse to go fetch my blood and run the hCG immediately. That's complete BS and I'm steaming mad just thinking about it.

A TEXT? Are you f'n kidding me???
