Hi Nicki,
We are waiting til 08 to try IVF again because of insurance AND because we just bought a new home that is being built and are all tapped out right now. We still have to buy new furniture for the house! S$%#s!! I am praying for patience right now!

LJ - Whoa. I can't believe they are making you worry week after week. Can't you demand some time with the doc. since all these u/s wackos are clearly not giving you any answers? I'm glad your getting another beta. I'm sure everything is fine but this place just doesn't seem right.
Audrey - I'm so glad you have that "special" relationship with your step daughters and that's great their mom is cool with it. That makes the relationship even more rewarding with them. And that's just more unconditional love for them! I'm glad you are thinking about IVF too. Good girl! It's a lot to think about and DH sounds GREAT and super supportive so whatever (or both if) you choose is going to be great. Are you waiting til 2008 for insurance purposes? Or is it to clear your mind etc?

Nicki,
I'm so very happy for you Momma!! How incredibly exciting!! You are truly blessed!! Your beta scores are incredible...Wow! Can't wait to hear about your next us.
And you are soo right, I really only had 1 fresh cycle. I really have a lot of thinking to do. DH suggested maybe doing IVF and adoption...we'll see. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's day yesterday. My daughters spent the day with us, and made it so special for me. I got Mother's day cards and gifts, and I am so blessed that they consider me their Mom and call me Mom, and the best part, their biological Mom is totally o.k. with it!
A young girl from church also spent the day with us yesterday. She is 16, 4 months pregnant, no family contact or support, father of baby is out of picture, she is not in school, not working, and is here illegaly without papers from El Salvador...AND she is planning on keeping her baby! Whoa...blows my mind!
LJ,

Hey guys. Appt didn't go well. The tech didn't even show me the screen or give me any details this time. Just told me to get dressed and she'd be back. So when she came back I said what is up, you didn't show me the screen or give me any info. She said she could confirm or deny a heartbeat and it's up to the docs what to do. No other info. I will probably go get my hcg checked as the next step. So very frustrated right now.
Audrey- hey! I'm so glad the adoption meeting went well. You do have a lot of time to think. Now you are well informed. Hey, you have to think about all different scenarios. Remember with me, I had 2 fresh cycles with NONE left to freeze and they didn't work. You really only had 1 fresh cycle. The embies from the FET were obviously from that same cycle. It could have been so many reasons but with a new try with IVF, they could change your med protocol, you can try to do things differently. So you never know. I know you have a lot to think about but since it took me 3 times, I guess I would be leary about giving the advice not to try IVF again after 1 fresh cycle. Ya know what I mean?? Hope I'm not being to pushy with the IVF. I'm happy for you either way you decide. I guess just hearing that it takes an average is 3 IVF tries to get a successful PG held true for me so that's probably why I feel that way.
Nikki- Hey stranger. Hope all is well with you. Glad you had a weekend of nice weather down in GA. It was quite beautiful up in NJ too!
LJ- how did you appointment go? I hope we hear from you soon. Thinking of you!!
As for me, I was panicked and worried the last few days, but feel better (as I usually do) after my appointment. It is confirmed that there are 2. And while I thought I'd be able to see the HB the tech laughed and said... "the doc told you you'd be able to see the heartbeat this appointment". Laughed again and said "Honey you should know to ask me and not the doc. what does he know anyway" (she was jk). But she said, "it's too early and we don't have the ultra sensitive equipment like some other offices have, so you're not going to see or hear anything until at least next week". So, while I was a little disappointed I was happy when she called me and said my beta levels are now 24,091 which is great. The new pics also shows sacs that are like 5 x's the size from last week so happy about that too!
Sorry for the long post. Gotta get back to work now :)
