that's funny b/c as everybody was getting BFPs I felt the same way !! like my chances were decreasing as if the "IF Gods" only hand out so many BFP's per week and we were already at our limit. But it doesn't work that way!! Youre gonna get your BFP!

I really love you guys. Thanks Traci I needed that. When you look up the success for IVF there is only a certain % for my age like 30something % and we have so over exceeded that with this group.

I hate to make a game plan for in case but we will try 2 more times. I already have in my head what my steps will be after May 13th (beta day) if I need to go down that road.

Aw, Cathy..don't think that way. I too, was thinking the same thing. But, it's not like we're all in the same study group...our group is a very small portion of the population doing IVF this month. Somehow, we have a lot of lucky girls...and I think you're one of them ! Good luck with your transfer tomorrow...lots of prayers for you
