Cool, the list! And I am on it!!!!

I have actually started BCPs. I was told by the RE to start them this month. I reminded her that I wanted to do a SEPTEMBER transfer and she said yes to start them day three after next AF in July!?! Don't know why 2 months, but it does make me feel like I have started the process.

I also just wanted to say that we tell everyone we are doing IVF. I know it may seem weird. It has to do mostly with faith and belief about how God and Satan work. Besides the more people who know, the more prayers we have going up. I am truely happy for folks who announce they are pregnant. I used to cry, but I decided I don't want their baby or their pregnancy, I want mine. Now I was mad as you know what when my sister announced a couple of months ago she was pg with her 3rd especially since she just had a baby in Nov. I do understand that feeling of why can't it be me. IVF SUCKS! But I want to feel like I am fighting it, punching it, kicking it all the way back to the bad place from which it came, not the other way around.

Sorry so long and definately not the popular opinion, but just one of those days where I just had to get that off my chest.

Thanks for the Welcomes ladies...I can't wait to begin. I am really staying positive about this and knowing I have a few cycles to try makes me feel better.

Mamasoon thanks for keeping the list! I have enjoyed doing it on the August thread but seems like I am being replaced. I would not mind continuing as I enjoy it and it passes my time but oh well.

GO SEPT TEAM!!!!!!!!!!

well it is official, i will be cycling with you ladies in september. the u/s showed a blighted ovum yesterday, that was measuring over a week behind, so that 3% was just false hope. i go for an appointment today and hopefully have my D&C this afternoon or tomorrow. i am looking forward to finding out a reason with all the tests, so although i would like to tell you where to put me on the list i have no idea. i am probably going to wait to get AF before i start BCPs - but if there is any news i will make sure that i will let you know.

this is #3 for us, so i am thinking that it is lucky. and i agree, it is time for all the veterans and the newbies to get their little bundle of joy

MamaSoon · #**156** (**permalink**) 07-10-2008, 07:20 AM

Your real name is Jamie, right? I am sooo sorry about your pregnancy. I can't imagine how that feels. I am glad you are ready to get going right away. I don't know much, but isn't a blighted ovum just a fluke? I am so sorry again.

I'll leave you where you are on the list until you update again. Good luck with your D&C. My condolences.

historyteach · #**157** (**permalink**) 07-10-2008, 07:29 AM

yes - it can be a fluke but since i have had two miscarriages in less than 3 months, they are going to do a recurrent miscarriage workup that looks at our chromosomes and to see if i have any autoimmune disorders.

i appreciate the kind words...

by the way for those of you who are using royal jelly - have you told your RE? what are their thoughts on it? just trying to get all my ducks in a row so i can have a stellar cycle come september.

ShellyO's · #**158** (**permalink**) 07-10-2008, 08:07 AM

Josee - you're so organized! Love it!

BTW - I feel like an idiot how, in the world do I get that tick mark to type above your name?? I've been wondering that forever

ShellyO's · #**159** (**permalink**) 07-10-2008, 08:10 AM

Jamie, I can't imagine how hard this has been for you. I'm so sorry for your losses. I hope with this testing they are doing can give you some answers and help you so this doesn't happen again

I'm so sorry. What kind of tests are they going to do to find out what the problems is? No I havent told my Dr yet that I'm takin royal jelly, but I told the Dr for the Acupunture and she dont see a problem with it. Sending you alot of hugs

and prayers.

HistoryTeach-Man! I really wanted #2 to be your little baby! I have followed your journey a bit through this forum. I am sending prayers your way for a

problem-free next couple of weeks. I have had 2 ectopic pregnancies and it is just so dissapointing to "think this is it!" only to find out it isn't a few weeks later. My thoughts are with you.

Mamasoon-I really hope this is our "veterans" turn. I never thought I would be an IVF "veteran", but I am grateful that we have all been blessed with a courageous heart and ability to keep going towards our dreams. And, yes, my "real" name is Natalie
