You all are so funny~

I never had anyone to ask about it when I had mine!

Just like the crummy feelings on Prometrium - this board (and the friendships made from the board) just makes me feel so "normal"!

All of my friends that have not done the IF things are supportive - but they just do not get it like you all do!

THANK YOU ALL!

(and thanks for not kicking me off, since I am doing FET and not the study any more!)

The FET Board is great but they do not post near as much as you all do!

I am just doing both!

Megan

My mom reads this board religiously and I have to tell you she called me just laughing her butt off! She absolutely loves this board and all the people. So if you always see the "Guest" at the bottom of the screen- it's my mom. She is even up on all the acronymns and everything! LOL

This board has been wonderful and I am so glad I started posting on it instead of just being a silent stalker! You guys are amazing!

Ok, two things... Probably TMI, but I had experienced the Big "O" in my sleep last night too! It kinda freaked me out, but I had to laugh, cause I thought of this thread when I woke up... LOL.
Second, I got my second Beta results - 4001!
I am now getting some sure feelings here that I might have more than one bean in the oven.. I am soo excited. I can not wait till the 18th for my first u/s, I can not stand waiting anymore!

Wow that's a huge number. I kinda think you have more than one in there as well. The funny thing is you just never know. My numbers weren't that high and I am having twins. I can't wait either to see how many beans are in there.

Ryan - Congrats on the great beta! I'll be looking forward to your bean count.

Megan - You are too funny! I can't believe your AF hasn't come yet!! I'm ready for you to get knocked up already!

I'm glad we can all be here for each other. I'm kind of nervous about my appt today.

I haven't really shared this yet, but my mom did an u/s on me about 10 days ago, and we couldn't find the heartbeat on the smaller baby. So I'm pretty sure it didn't make it. But I've already had time to deal with the sad feelings, so I want to be happy today to see the baby moving around. It was nice to have my mom show me what happened. She didn't say anything. She just kept looking and I knew what was going on. I was really sad, but now I'm thankful to have a healthy baby in there. So hopefully today I'll get the good news that the baby is doing well.
