notmyplan--YES it IS a lifeline!!! LOL, October to get Over...LOL, YES, to that too, but can i count in last years October as well? i guess October is just NOT my month! no matter if my bday is in it or not! LOL. hang in there sweetie!!! i'm for you and sending TONS of !!!!!


AFM--hahahahahahaha are you READY for THIS? CW2W (remember my new name?...can'twait2wait?) WELLLLLLL, i'm still W-ing!!! hahahaha, yeppers, you read that correctly, i'm STILL waiting...AGAIN! SO, embryologist was supposed to call me yesterday no matter what and so at 4:15p I call because i know they turn the phones off in 15 min! WELL, SHE'S NOT THERE!!! had gone home AND wasn't going to be back in the office til FRIDAY!!!! hahahahaha...i'm thinking WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????/ well, i talked to a nurse who thought she had heard the embryologist talking about my case and so the nurse told me she was going to call the embryologist..are you ready?...AT HOME!!!! seriously!!! so she did and then called me back and she was right, the embryologist had been talking about me. SO, now i have to wait for a call from the RE after he talks with the rest of the REs in the office. AND if he doesn't call by friday, guess who gets to call THEM back AGAIN? LOL, yep, you guessed it, ME! I DO!!! LOL

NOW, you have to know this! i sound all happy and humoristic with all of this but you have to know what happened two days ago and last night after this phone call! SO, two days ago our fridge is done, dead, etc...so DH & i are at various stores trying to find another one...i'm getting so stressed and PO'd that i'm just not happy & i start crying because i just want our old fridge back! LOL...we chose a fridge and had to wait to pick it up until yesterday. DH picked it up, brought it home, we got old fridge out & new fridge in (after having to take both doors off) and got it hooked up and set-up...and guess what, I HATE IT!!!! just doesn't fit things like our old one did even tho this new one is 1.5cubic feet...just hate it!!! most of the usable space is in the freezer and we don't need THAT!!! SO, guess what...i am crying again! oh geez, seriously now...well, this was after talking to my clinic SO, you can understand my stress and all that jazz! now, more than ever, i've come to realize that when i'm under complete stress and frustrations...it all comes out in TEARS! ugh, not my favorite thing, but it happens.

anywho, that's what i've been up to! just still WAITING and can't wait 2 wait some more! i just want an answer...i want to know: are we doing FET, IVF, both, or taking a break....once i know there'll be some peace of mind and not so much up in the air! BUT i'll know at some point in time and that'll have to do! and as you can see, my humor is my way to cope and my way to handle everything...it's pretty nice when i remember it! it's when i forget it that is NOT fun! lol.

ladies, hang in there you're well on your way to your ultimate goals!!! i'm for each of you every step of the way! everyone with those BFPs and everyone continuing the journey in one form or fashion!!!

love and HUGE to all!!!

I am SO sorry you're going through this. It is NOT fair that you have to wait and it is NOT fair that you have to chase them down for answers. I so wish I could take your stress away. For some reason, these people are behaving as if they don't realize they're dealing with our lives. I pray that an answer comes and that it comes soon.

I'm also sorry you hate your new fridge! I do think though that you hate it because losing the old one was something beyond your control and right now, you're not feeling in control of your situation with your clinic. In any case, in your shoes, I would have been bawling a long time ago! Just know that we're all here sharing your frustration and sending feel good vibes your way. for you. You hang in there, girl! And if need be, we'll all get our staplers and head your way!

And if need be, we'll all get our staplers and head your way!

thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!! sigh, it's just kinda a laugh about it or cry about it situation in general!!! most of the time i'm laughing, but boy does it get to me! i told my mom last night that i should be starting AF soon and she said, well that prob has something to do with it! it was something that i had forgotten about...PMS...hahahaha, now HOW does one forget about that? and so i was thinking and said: hmm, it's been a while since i've dealt with AF naturally and i guess i forgot about the PMS thing on it's own AND that i don't really know WHEN it's going to happen! with getting ready for IVF you're on BFPs so those can drive you nuts, but you KNOW that and you know WHEN AF is coming...THEN with all the shots, you KNOW you're pumping yourself with lots of stuff so that's going to throw you off, then you have the 2ww and any preggo symptoms and more hormones in you, etc...well, it's something you come to expect and you "know" that all that is changing you. WELL, i had forgotten what AF was like without all of that and forgot that i can tend to get a lil more emotional, etc when natural AF comes!!! sheesh, now i had to laugh at that too!!! but today is day 25, so AF should arrive in 5-7ish days...but PCOS and anovulation may throw a wrench in that and who knows when AF will come...LOL.

SO, kokasmom, i'm still waiting, going insane, laughing, bawling, waiting, and did i say waiting? LOL i feel like every time i call in i'm "bugging" them and everything and sometimes i appologize! like yesterday, but the nurse was VERY understanding and said she completely understood when i appologized and said i was anxious to know...she said that was understandable and the embryologist understood too because they knew AF is coming soon and that i'd want to know the "plan"....now THAT made me feel good.....like they REALLY did understand why i keep calling to follow up! i may need to borrow all you ladies and your staplers (don't forget the refills) if i don't hear from them by fri!!! LOL.

thank you so much! i suppose i wish i were in all your shoes and being part of the success of Sept to Remember, BUT, our journey (one way or another) isn't over and somehow we'll have a child...bio or not, soon or later, but i'm just so grateful that you ladies are still here...talking of your successes and supporting EVERYONE! THANK YOU!!!!!

Hear this and hear it well! You ARE a part of the success of this group!!! You hear me, young lady???!!! The success of this group does not lie in whether or not the cycles were successful. Are you kidding me? Just look at what we did! We are a group of complete strangers from different locations, age groups, backgrounds and histories who came together to share an experience but instead we became a family. Not one of us can walk away until we all have our babies. That's where our success lies, not in our BFPs but in our commmitment to and genuine love for each other. Now, tell me you aren't a part of that!

And you're right about the PMS. Like you, I completely forgot about that!

hey ladies, just wanted to tell you good news! seems like it's been little sad here lately...

i had my 2nd us and it went well!!! yolk sacs are there, babies are there with 2 strong heartbeats!!! yeee!!! i was so worried... i got some sharp pain yesterday and i was freaking out! came out it's just a cyst on my ovary, not a biggy, but babies are doing good!!!
i'm going for 3rd us next wed and if everything will still look good - that may be my last visit at my REs office. I wanted to hear the HB but nurse said that they don't do it!!! they dont check hb rate or nothing. she just said that it was strong and looked really good. i saw it too, but i wish i could hear it as well... i'm still very happy! starting to believe it's really happening!!!

thetimeisnow!

That is awesome news x 2!!! It's great to hear that you and the little ones are doing so well. Sorry you didn't get to hear the heartbeats, but I know that seeing it must have been really special. And yes ma'am, it IS really happening! I'm so happy for you!

And what is it with the twins (and our triplets) for this group? So for you ladies getting ready for your new cycles, you'd better get ready for your twins, as well! I, for one, can't wait to hear all about it!

Checking in.....

Hi,

Just wanted to check in with my favorite ladies.....

Meg - I wish I could wave a magic wand and remove your anxiety, stress and the uncertainity of it all. No one should have to go through what you're going through sweetie. I know if it was me, I'd cracked way before now and might be tempted to throw in the towel all together. That's how I know what a strong woman you are. Though you have your bad moments, you are still keeping it together. You still have hope and you can still celebrate and enjoy others' successes without bitterness. You're an amazing woman. Yes you are. Lots of hugs for you sweetie. Sorry I wasn't around for your mini meltdown, but so soo glad Kokasmom was. I hope you hear back from them soon and before Friday.

Leora - how are you? In the last bunch of postings, you didn't tell us how you're doing. Tsk...tsk. You know we care and want to know. So don't forget to update us on you next time sweetie. Is DH back home? How are you - mentally and physically? Do you have an upcoming OB or RE appt just to see if the RE is wrong and that the baby is still growing? Just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking of you every day and praying very hard that it is a misdiagnosis.

Timeisnow - congrats x2!! definitely sounds like now is your time! I'm sooo very happy for you.

ReadyinKC - you should be getting close to ER now, if not already. I'm going to have to track you down if you don't update us. Grow follies grow! Leggo her eggos! cuz she wants to be preggo!

Lisa - Hope your D&C went smoothly and that you're recovering. If you're still on, update us please....

Mommywants another - I was saddened to hear your news. Even though we didn't expect twins, we had hoped this would be the case with my high betas, and was sad (and we did mourn a bit) to hear that we weren't having twins. And for you, it was even more real (not a hope, but a reality). I'm sorry this happened. And that it has frightened you. My neighbor (no fert treatment) loss her one of her twins early on and went through the rest of her pregnancy just fine and delivered the most precocious beautiful boy. I pray that the rest of your pregnancy proceeds smoothly.

Taking chances - grow follies grow! You also should be coming up on ER soon....let us know how it goes.

Faithhopelove - Through a snowstorm, no less! I'm so glad CCRM is going to work out for you! I can't wait for them to finish the testing and get you on to the stimming! I pray this cycle brings you the BFP you deserve.

Kokasmom - Thanks sweetie for still being here and cheering everyone on. You're also amazing!

Tanter - grow babies grow! Just wanted to let you know I'm still thinking of my trigger buddy.

This forum is full of amazing women, and I'm sorry if I missed anyone. I didn't take notes as I normally do as I'm reading through the postings this time to catch up. It's been real busy. I had a bunch of stuff to do before the movers came and packed us up and then had to organize the cleanup after they left on Monday. And my dear dog had to go and bite through his skin to pick at his cyst that's right under the skin. After having it more than a year and a half; he picks now to do it! I'm starting to feel that my dog didn't want to be left out....now our whole family had minor surgery this year. Yep...he just didn't want to be left out. Crazy dog. Just had to fit in. Anyways, it's starting to feel real now (that we're moving). The movers are coming back in 2 weeks or so, to pack up the remaining stuff, take it to storage, and send a few boxes by air. And then we fly out.

timeisnow- Great to hear your news. I am celebrating for you, baby one, and baby two! Way to go.



Kokasmom-Did you get that out of a fortune cookie? Beautiful words of wisdom girl! Made me tear up too. I am feeling your love. I am all in!


MegR-Wow, I hear you on the PMS. It's tough to know if the emotions are coming from the hormones or just the gravity of the situation. Whatever it is, it sucks! . You most certainly can count last October too! I was hoping to capitalize on that birthday month charm too. Oh well. And about this waiting thing...this has got to stop. Like you said, with AF coming you are going to find out the plan real soon, but come on. I find it quite ironic that we even had to move our clocks back an hour so that you could wait another hour. Hang in there. Your time is coming! Maybe when you are pregnant you are going to have huge ice cream cravings and you will need the freezer space to stock up on all of the flavors? Let us know as soon as you do get your call and plan.

AFM--hahahahahahaha are you READY for THIS? CW2W (remember my new name?...can'twait2wait?) WELLLLLLL, i'm still W-ing!!! hahahaha, yeppers, you read that correctly, i'm STILL waiting...AGAIN! SO, embryologist was supposed to call me yesterday no matter what and so at 4:15p I call because i know they turn the phones off in 15 min! WELL, SHE'S NOT THERE!!! had gone home AND wasn't going to be back in the office til FRIDAY!!!! hahahahaha...i'm thinking WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????/ well, i talked to a nurse who thought she had heard the embryologist talking about my case and so the nurse told me she was going to call the embryologist..are you ready?...AT HOME!!!! seriously!!! so she did and then called me back and she was right, the embryologist had been talking about me. SO, now i have to wait for a call from the RE after he talks with the rest of the REs in the office. AND if he doesn't call by friday, guess who gets to call THEM back AGAIN? LOL, yep, you guessed it, ME! I DO!!! LOL

NOW, you have to know this! i sound all happy and humoristic with all of this but you have to know what happened two days ago and last night after this phone call! SO, two days ago our fridge is done, dead, etc...so DH & i are at various stores trying to find another one...i'm getting so stressed and PO'd that i'm just not happy & i start crying because i just want our old fridge back! LOL...we chose a fridge and had to wait to pick it up until yesterday. DH picked it up, brought it home, we got old fridge out & new fridge in (after having to take both doors off) and got it hooked up and set-up...and guess what, I HATE IT!!!! just doesn't fit things like our old one did even tho this new one is 1.5cubic feet...just hate it!!! most of the usable space is in the freezer and we don't need THAT!!! SO, guess what...i am crying again! oh geez, seriously now...well, this was after talking to my clinic SO, you can understand my stress and all that jazz! now, more than ever, i've come to realize that when i'm under complete stress and frustrations...it all comes out in TEARS! ugh, not my favorite thing, but it happens.

anywho, that's what i've been up to! just still WAITING and can't wait 2 wait some more! i just want an answer...i want to know: are we doing FET, IVF, both, or taking a break....once i know there'll be some peace of mind and not so much up in the air! BUT i'll know at some point in time and that'll have to do! and as you can see, my humor is my way to cope and my way to handle everything...it's pretty nice when i remember it! it's when i forget it that is NOT fun! lol.

ladies, hang in there you're well on your way to your ultimate goals!!! i'm for each of you every step of the way! everyone with those BFPs and everyone continuing the journey in one form or fashion!!!

love and HUGE to all!!!
Meg, sweetie. I think you need to use the stapler to get what you want! You should call the RE tomorrow and tell them that all this waiting is unacceptable - you need to know where you stand. Don't feel that just because they are considering offering you something that you need to sit back and be their whipping girl. Throw some staplers! Stand up for yourself! If nothing else, it might make you feel better, what with your rollercoaster emotions. And tell them that your friend Leora is a 4th Degree black belt and will come and kick their *sses if they don't let you know what's going on!

We are a group of complete strangers from different locations, age groups, backgrounds and histories who came together to share an experience but instead we became a family. Not one of us can walk away until we all have our babies. That's where our success lies, not in our BFPs but in our commmitment to and genuine love for each other. Now, tell me you aren't a part of that!

And you're right about the PMS. Like you, I completely forgot about that!
That was beautiful!

i'm going for 3rd us next wed and if everything will still look good - that may be my last visit at my REs office. I wanted to hear the HB but nurse said that they don't do it!!! they dont check hb rate or nothing. she just said that it was strong and looked really good. i saw it too, but i wish i could hear it as well... i'm still very happy! starting to believe it's really happening!!!
thetimeisnow!
Yay!!! Woohoo!!! Yahoo!!!! That's really great to hear. I hope you'll get to hear their little heartbeats soon! Maybe you should change your Wednesday U/S to your OB's office so they'll let you listen...

Sorry about the cyst - I'm wondering if I have one - I have been having a sharp pain once or twice on the left side. Maybe I'll ask them at my next US, if I have one.

Thank you Ready2B. I'm doing OK. DH is still in New York - won't come back till Sunday evening. I'm feeling a bit lonely, although the doggies help with that a little. Not much is new on the test front. Tomorrow would be 8 weeks, but I'm going to wait till 9 weeks, and if I have no symptoms of miscarriage, I'll go in again. I also left a message with my OB (the one I've never met); she'll be back on Monday and hopefully will let me come in for some tests, if necessary.

Your poor doggy! He probably is freaked out by the moving people and the half-empty place! I hope he gets better soon.

Good luck with the move! Bon voyage!
