AGP to the Rescue!
Here's to a lucky summer!!! I think our old thread got pushed back somewhere so I started a new one.
So I found the cure for feeling sad about BFN!! Wine, cigs, and a TON of shopping with mom!! My mom and her twin sister (my aunt - duh) dragged me to the mall to find a suit for my job interviews next week. Turned out to be a shopping extravaganza! There truly is nothing better :) I'm not even trying to be silly, but I can't sit around feeling so sad about this. I am an optimist at heart and I trust that some higher power knows what a fab mommy I would be and will grant me double the goodness one day. Seriously :)
Krista - I didn't know you were a twin! You have the same thing going on that my fam does. My mom is an identical twin and her twin had identical twin girls (my cousins) and my grandma had sister who were twins, so identical twin girls have been a steady presence in our family for 3 generations. I should only be so lucky. Good luck tomorrow...I hope those shy follies have grown. If not, we will be here for you and with you as we all move forward in this crazy process.
Helen - this whole game of IVF roulette is unfair!! We go in knowing that we may lose but hoping that we win. But I appreciate that you feel that I got screwed!
Kari - what can i say...thank goodness for your continuously positive support. It really keeps me going. Until my BFP, I will live through you, Helen, Renell and Heather (the original queenbee of AGP!).
Sally - only one more day til the big procedure! Dude, my game is still tight! I don't have to "get back" into the game...I never left!! What doesn't kill will make me stronger, right? Gosh I hope so!
So now I'm just waiting for AF to show up (I hope soon). If it is within the next week, I may be able to push an antagonist cycle for June. I teach everyday in July making it very difficult to commit to an IVF cycle. If AF doesn't show for a couple weeks, I will be forced to wait til August to try again. If that is the case, I am going to take the time to lose the weight i've gained from all these hormones (almost 20 pounds in 2 years) and try acupuncture. Since gaining all that weight it's difficult for me to feel comfortable in my own skin at times. Maybe if I can get back to a point (even 10 pounds lighter) where I feel like myself again, my body will be more open and ready for this experience.
Either way, I will be around to support all of you - my rocks (and DH) and cheer you on the way you have done for me. Love you all...

Well here I am on day 1 of the gonadatropins. I had forgotten the surge of blech that I feel with those shots. I am still feeling pretty optimistic about this cycle. My father will actually be visiting around the time we find out if it works...assuming everything else stays on schedule. I cannost wait until the day I get to tell DH that he will be a father. I look forward to the initial look of glee followed by the expected face of panic and concern. heehee.
Jen, I responded on your other thread, but wanted to send you some more condolences and warm (((hugs))). With your good attitude it would only make sense (and be FAIR!) if your next cycle brings a sticky BFP. Hope you are okay this evening.
Miky, good to see an update from you. Sounds like everything is going pretty good. Will be looking forward to hearing about your next monitoring appt... I take it you could be getting ready to trigger by early next week?
Krista, I didn't know you were a twin!!! Wow, and it sounds like it really runs in the family! I really hope you are feeling better today... and I'm still crossing my fingers tightly that a follie miracle comes your way and we get some good news after your appointment. Good luck hun.
Sally, one more day for you and then you'll get that icky procedure out of the way and start moving forward with stims. Hope you had a good evening.

As I said in my other post.. Love you Jen!!!!!
I know you'll get back in the game soon and get that BFP!

Hi all,
Incase you didnt see my post...it was a BFN. I'm doing okay. I had a decent cry and am a little frustrated with the RE (he doesn't want me to do another cycle in June cuz he's going on vacation for a week). I had a glass of wine and a few stogies (an old cure for stress) and am feeling better.
Thank you ALL - you are the best support I could have ever asked for. Regardless of whether or not I am in the game myself, I will still be here for all of you.
SSBD to all...
