I'm doing great... I have been very fortunate and not and any m/s, cramping or spotting..(knock on wood). Little bean is right on track, I am 12wks today and very excited. We have an appt tomorrow to exit the study, i finally get to take the ring out once and for all. Oh and on thurs we have the NT Scan, which i am praying goes well and the baby is happy and healthy. Keep us in your prayers!! I ordered a Hi-Bebe fetal doppler and i love it. It was driving me crazy having to wait so long between each appt to hear the heartbeat so i ordered my own and i love it!! I don't post alot, but i read the posts everyday.. sometimes i don't know what to say, my heart goes out to all the BFN and don't want to say the wrong thing...but i say a special prayer for everyone on the board each night before i go to bed!!

Time passes. Life happens.
Distance separates. Children grow up. Jobs come and go. Love waxes and wanes. Men don't do what they're supposed to do. Hearts break. Parents die. Colleagues forget favors. Careers end. BUT - Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her. When you have to walk that lonesome valley And you have to walk it by yourself, The women in your life will be on the valley's rim, Cheering you on, Praying for you, Pulling for you, Intervening on your behalf, And waiting with open arms at the valley's end. Sometimes, they will even break the rules And walk beside you, or come in and carry you out. Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, Daughters-in-law, sisters, Sisters-in-law, mothers, Grandmothers, Aunties, nieces, cousins And extended family all bless our life. When we began this adventure called womanhood, We had no idea of the incredible Joys or sorrows that lay ahead, Nor did we know how much We would need each other.

I guess I'm having a bad day...
I don't know if it's because I got delayed on my stims or what, but I haven't been feeling very positive about this cycle lately. I really have no reason to feel like that. I mean, my last u/s was great...I was right where I needed to be...there are no indications that I'm going to have any issues. But you just never know!! I'm starting to doubt that this will work. I can't picture myself being pregnant!! What's wrong with me?!?! DH is being very optimistic and so are my docs. My family (the ones that know) and my best friend are acting like this is gonna be a sure thing! When in reality...we have no idea! I want to think positively and act positively, but it's so hard. They keep saying "well, when you're pregnant...blah blah blah" and it's really starting to drive me nuts!!! I want a BFP more than ANYTHING, but I just don't know how to deal with this stage of everything right now. Do I act like I'm going to get pregnant and get set up for a big heartbreak if I don't...or do I act like I'm not going to get a pregnant and then be suprised when I am?!?!? This is so hard!!! Grrr!!!

Seriously, I know this might sound funny....but I'd probably ask the RE's financial person. Not sure if that is covered under the new HIPPA law....but maybe they can tell you what companies cover IVF based on patients/experiences? If that doesn't work....I'd probably try to find a local IVF support group (again, my RE's office advertised one in the waiting room), and ask some of them? There is also a site, can't recall the name....but they have a listing of the larger companies that cover IVF. I just did a quick search on 'companies that cover IVF' and it brought up a LOT of sites with post or other information on the subject. One of the main sites was INCIID The Oldest and Largest Infertility (INCIID) Adoption. Parenting, Pregnancy online Community You could probably even narrow that down though, and do a search on 'companies that cover IVF in (list your state here).

Sheri - I felt like that a couple of times during my cycle and I wasn't sure why. I ended up just trying to change my thoughts around as best as I could and honestly the closer it got and the more "real" it got, the more positive I got. Once you see and hear those fertilization reports and everything you will notice a chance in your thinking, I promise!!
