rmmoye - good luck with the visit. I think it's the right thing to do but I would probably really struggle with it if it were me. The way I look at it is sometimes you need to do things you don't want to, but at least you will not regret not doing them 10 years from now.
No symptoms on this end. Actually, it looks like my af is coming to a slow start. Sigh. At least I don't have to be kept in suspense for another 4 days. One more iui left and we're debating whether to use the clomid again or not. I was told that it only increases chances by 5% but we did get a BFP after a natural cycle.
Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone else out there in the 2ww. It's so great to be able to talk with people who understand.

I would love to tell u i know what was wrong with him but i dont even think he knows. I know he wasnt always this way but from 4 to 27 it has been 1 let down after another. U r correct. I should go see him for my sake. i will let u know how he is.
I had a step father come in to my life at 12 and he is a good Dad. that is what i call him Dad. Step dads are blessings from God to us and our moms.

hoping34- oh good luck girl!!!!! When are you testing? We need some bfp's! Keep us updated! Are you having any symptoms?
Juana- good luck to you too!!!! You don't have betas til the 15th...wow that seems so far away!! : ( We're here for you on the wait, and hoping you get your bfp!!
LC-So sorry about the crappy beta. Also really annoying that it affected your cycle. I know how frustrating that is..after my hsg my period was late and I was so upset. You just wanna move on and you can't! I know the feeling. Hopefully with these meds it comes sooner than expected and you can move on quicker. keep us posted and let us know how it goes!
Rm- Thats a crazy story. I had my stepfather in my life since age 2, and lost complete touch with my BioF when I was in gr.7. I didn't get back in touch with him until about october of last year when he moved back here. I never missed him to tell you the truth cause my stepfather has been my dad for as long as I have been alive basically. It was really really awkward to be honest when we met up again for the first time, like I didn't know him at all. He had never met my kids and I'm sure it was awkward for him too. We stay in touch via email and visit every once in a while. Its hard because I feel like I don't really know him, its forced, he really has never been my dad, and because of my stepfather being so amazing, I never lacked for a father. But I feel like I have to make the effort to keep him in my life for my kids sake and because he is my biodad. I know it will get easier and more natural but that will take years! Like you, I felt like he was the adult and HE should've kept in touch, that it wasn't my responsibility, but I can't change that now so I have to move forward and try at least. That being said, my dad hasn't said the ridiculous things your dad has said, and has genuinely made the effort all around, not broken promises since he's been back etc. So you have every right to want to turn around and walk away. I do think though that you should visit him in the hospital. You will truly feel awful if something happens and you didn't go see him. It sounds awful, but you should do this for yourself more than anything...you will need some kind of closure, and god forbid something happens you will feel terrible. Unfortunately as its gone with the rest of your life with your father, you need to be the bigger person. You don't have to let him in again, just go see him and go slowly from there. What is wrong with him if you don't mind me asking?

I dont understand my dr's office. I started today and they still wont cancle my appointment. It is required that they follow it up in order to ensure my health is where it should be and that i dont still have anything going on in me. GRR!!!! IF i started them i am not prego!!! My levels have already dropped on one blood test.
now for so true venting. My bio father(bf) has not really been there for me my entire life!!! When is started dating my dh he wanted to have something to do with me and dh because he thought dh's family had money. (They are middle class.) He said infront of dh girl lock your claws into that one his family is rich. I regreated at that point trusting him again and letting him back in. Dh and i had been dating for about a year and that was the first time he had meet him and the second time i had seen him in that year. After several more let downs i just cut him out of my life! After 20+ years of broken promises u just learn to say i have had enough. Well the first time i got prego BF decided to contect me and beg me to forgive him. it took me some time but i decided i would communicate through emails. well when i lost the baby he disappeared again. Now i get a phone call from his wife saying he is in icu and wants to see me. I dont know what to do. He only cares when it effects him. it Hurts me!!! He is 30 minutes from my house in the hospitle. Do i go see him? i know i will regreat it if he dies but i dont want to get hurt again. I dont want to let him in just to have him do his normal thing and when he gets better he says i care but U have to do all of the work even though i am the father. Ok i am done venting and taking up your time.

Hi,
I'm after first IVF ( one embryo transferred) and my beta is on 04/15.
I enjoy reading all of these posts about your experiences, share your joy and sadness.
Glad that there is a place like this where you can speak and be understood...
Good luck to all of you!

LC I was hoping that u would tell us that it was +. My heart breaks for u. I hope it does work for u this time. Have u talked to your Dr about using injectables with the iui before u move on to ivf? Clomid didnt help me. I am doing injectables and they have done the trick 2/3 iui's. They are more expensive but cheeper then ivf.GL girl.
Hoping34 I hope u get a bfp. keep us updted. This group of girls is wonderful at helping u get through the tough times.
