HeathJo, Razz all you want. I'm very amused! (-: Your new pic is gorgeous, if your uterus is as gorgeous as your wedding pic, well stand back and take a gander!! (-: Mine wasn't deamed gorgeous, just plain beautiful - so I guess that means I'm in the Uterine beauty pagent category and your in America's Next Top Uterine Model category. I want to change my pic too, just so I have one that is only of me and not with my neices. I don't have any!! Every pic. of me has at least one if not several neices or nephews by my side. Well, I do have one of myself with my little furry baby, my beloved Border Collie. Maybe I'll post that one.
Vingulf: I'm sure you haven't done any harm after your IVF. You are supposed to rest which means no heavy lifting, exercising or anything that strains your body and mind. Stress can play a role, as we know in pregnancy also. But, I'm sure your sitting at your desk and taking a stop at the grocery store won't harm anything. Afterall, it isn't total bed rest that's prescribed after IVF, just to "take it easy". Please don't worry you've jeopordized anything. I'm doing my chant for you now; BFP, BFP, BFP, BFP.....
Brittany Spears is all over the news today. It just sickens me to think of the chaos those poor little boys live in every day. Women like that get pregnant without even trying. Maddening. Kind of off topic, I know. But, I've got the "Tele" on as I'm typing and it's driving me nuts!!
I'm really getting anxious because I did most things they said NOT to do after a transfer :-(
- I went back to work day after the transfer (although my work doesnt require any lifting or anything - I was mostly sitting at my desk...)
- Without thinking, I was drinking coffee and mocha at Starbucks and Diet Coke - I did stop 3 days ago tho...
- Did the dishes and groceries - cant help myself. Hubby did try to help with dishes but I just cant send him to the grocery - he ends up spending MORE!
So, hopefully, I didnt jeopardize anything...
LOL!
Thank you!!! I'm hoping it works, too! I was just looking at our bank accounts and it seems like we might not have enough for a second cycle :-( even though my ins covers most of it, I still need a few thousand $$...
Was reading your profile..I, too, had scar tissues. Underwent lap last Sept and doc also discovered I have endo. So he "cleaned" everything up :-) And I also wished we didnt wait this long to test...discovered hubby's swimmers are few and weak (thus the IVF)...
Am staying away from those darn hpt's this weekend. I'm a little anxious coz I have no pg symptoms but was told it would be a little too early anyway (only 9 DPT). Still have the mild cramping but thats about it...altho today, I felt tummy ache like I ate something bad - which I prob did (leftover spaghetti from last night LOL).
I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed!!! Thanks for the cheers!!!! Makes me feel really feel I am not alone...
Vingulf,
I am soooo hoping IVF works for you! I am moving towards IVF myself and i am holding my breath for everyone who is taking that journey. 2ww is a torture. I hope BFP waits for you at the end!!!
So, LETS ALL CHANT FOR Vingulf: BFP! BFP! BFP! BFP! BFP!
HeathJo,
love your new pic. You have a gorgeous face to go with your gorgeous uterus :)
Thank you, everyone, for your support. I knew I shouldn't have tested today, but I was sooooo weak and I caved. Anyway, I kept thinking that the one time I got a BFP was about 16 dpo. I just went back and checked my records and realized that I didn't get a + HPT until 21 days after my LH surge. I found my old chart, and back then I even got a BFN on day 18. So, I guess there is still some hope.
Only time will tell
Mary - so sorry for BFN, but just hold on a bit longer. I was talking to my friend who is 4 months pg. And she never tested positive on HPT or even on the one is Drs office (don't know the diff), only blood test showed a positive.
Sil - Last month I was taking progesterone suppositories, and on this forum I heard that sometimes prometium and progesterone are used interchaneably, but I still don't know if it's the same thing or not. So anyways I was on progesterone 2DPO and until AF showed up. And it messed up my cycle just a bit it was 33 days instead of 30. But it was supposed to improve my LP. With injections cycle has become a bit irregular and some month my LP was shorter than others. I'm sorry to hear what you went through over the last few years. Good Luck!
HeathJo - I wonder how they can determine the "egg reserve", but it sounds great that yours is full. Somehow I always thought that I want to have 2 kids, bec I have a sister and dh has a brother so we both grew up with siblings. At this point I would be happy with one, I just don't know if I would be able to go through all of this again. So twins sounds like a good solution 2 in one shot, but it's bit more risky more complications to worry about. I'll take what ever comes my way, when ever it comes my way.
