ivf buddy thread: ms320, fifi, miky, magda, fyrefly

[Helen72]

I thought I will start a thread for ivf gals to stay in touch and share the news.  Cheerleaders welcome!

I have my baseline u/s tomorrow and hope to start FSH tomorrow as well although 7+ weeks of b/c are screwing with my body and after spotting for about 4 weeks while on b/c now AF is not really starting so I don't know what my doc will say...

I know that most of you guys are at different stages of the ivf process.  I hope to summarize what I remember.

Miky72 -  b/c. IVF for May.
Magda_s -  2ww with 3 super embryos wanting to implant.  When is your beta?
Mary (ms320) - FSH injections.  Any good news on your end?    
fifi - RE appt 22nd April.
fyrefly: in limbo between retrieval and transfer; right now transfer is set for Friday.  
Heather - Perinatologist appt April 30th
Dee - TWW, beta Monday
Lisa - hiatus

Since I have not heard from many of you I am hoping for an update.  Just trying to get in touch and stay in touch with all of you in the same boat.

Hi Ladies,
  On my way to IUI... Im nervous!  

[magda_s]

Fiona, I'm not going to say I'm sorry... they haven't told you that there's no point trying and there is still a chance and that's all you need.  so instead I'll just hope and pray that you get really lucky.
I hope the trip home does you good and wish you the very best of luck.

Helen, I wish the follies were being more cooperative but you know, sometimes, when everything seems to be going wrong, it turns out just right.  And who knows, the worst case scenario for you may easily be that you don't get to freeze.  I know that's disappointing.  It was for me last try and if I'd had some to freeze, I wouldn't have to go through it all again next time but such is life.
Hopefully you won't NEED any frozen embryos!!!

Dee, thanks for the pm.... sorry my reply was so long!!!

Lisa, hope that by the time you read this you're feeling a bit more energised.  I think we can all understand what you're saying about feeling an emptiness in that one area of your life.  I hope with all my heart that when that changes you will be truly fulfilled because he will be such a wonderful person.

Mary, I hope your call goes really well today...

Oh Helen and Dee you made me laugh and cry.  You are so sweet!!!  

Thank you everyone, Magda, Mary, Fiona, and everyone for your support and love (I do feel that you are loving friends!).  

I'm not feeling "empty" because I'm without a dh.  I do LOVE many aspects of my life and feel very lucky and blessed in so many ways.  But, defintely feel an emptiness in one area of my life and want so badly to share that part with someone.

I am very, very tired tonight. Lots going on at work. So, I'm sorry I can't address each of you tonight.  But, I've read your posts and have all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

lisa the offer still stands- if i were a bloke i would marry you!

magda - i am pming you in a minnie

[Helen72]

Lisa,

I am so sorry you are feeling blue about not having a man in your life.  But I hope you do not feel unfulfilled.  You have a great job, close friends and students who adore you.  

On the other hand I don't understand why would any man not date you: you are easy going, caring, have a great job, hot, blonde...  What is wrong with men???

I know that it’s difficult to be single when the whole world around you is married or engaged.  I hope you will find that perfect someone (and by perfect I mean smart, caring, funny and with ivf insurance coverage) in the near future.  Mature mommy’s bfp @ 46 gives us all hope.

Mary,
I hope you have a productive conference call tomorrow.  Make sure you have all questions prepared.
