PAIF/SAIF/PGAL welcome
Update: I had a complete melt-down last night. When I was attempting to cycle in February, I was doing injections for 5 weeks before I got cancelled - and I have a bad feeling this is going to end the same way. I was having a major pity party, because I've spent 5 of the last 9 months doing injections, and all I have to show for it is a miscarriage and a uterus full of fluid. Then I had a bad reaction to my meds last night and ended up throwing up on the side of the road while walking the dog - and I was seriously questioning whether going through IVF will be worth it. If I knew there was a take home baby in the end, I'd say yes - but I know not everyone gets that. Last night I just wanted to give up. Today is better, so far, but it makes me wonder how much more I really can do - and that makes me sad.

PAIF/SAIF/PGAL welcome
((huge hugss)) Aegis, I'm really hoping tomorrow brings good news for you. Hang in there, the IVF road is so bumpy
Beta #1 3/4/14- 105. Beta #2 3/7/13- 397 EDD-11/11/14. 1st u/s 3/20- 6w2d lil' bean with 120hb. 7w0d- lil bean's hb was 144. Graduated from RE 3/25/14.
Aegis- Im so sorry you are feeling so down right now! I can't imagine how frustrated you must feel. Lots of T&P headed your way!!
Update: I am officially in my 2WW & my beta is 6/7!
QOTD: I have the Chanel symbol tattoo bc my dogs name is Coco Chanel and my first 2 initials are CC.
This IVF road can be very bumpy......but having a pity party is normal and you should not feel bad about it. We all go through this I am sure. At the end of all this and however it turns out for us at least we will have know we tried all we could. Hopefully that can bring some solace to those of us for whom IVF doesn't work.
Update: Anxiously awaiting beta on 5-31
QOTD: I detest mushrooms!
Aegis, I am sorry you were feeling down. IF is such a emotional n physical rollacoster. I really hope everything works out for you. You will be in my prayers.
Feeling a whole lot better from my ER. Still bloated but I am able to walk around the house better n almost no pain. Trying to keep optimistic about my 2embryos n that ET tomorrow goes well.
OOTD: When I am driving alone I usually talk to myself, I know weird.
Update: still waiting for my beta on 6/4, but starting to lose hope because I feel like AF is on her way. I'm praying that even if she is coming at the end of this cycle, she holds off until after my beta, just to give me the tiniest bit of hope.
QOTD: When I wear socks, I have to have them pulled up as high as they go! If they slouch down, it bothers me to no end! My family makes fun of me all the time, and even tries to push my socks down to be funny and watch me go crazy!
Update: I've entered the 2ww club! except i only have a 1ww for some reason. Pregnancy test scheduled for 6/5
QOTD: i can solve a rubiks cube in minutes....i'm such a dork!
Me: 26 DH: 34

Everyone Welcome!
Update: I am now 9dp3dt and there are only 6 days until beta. This whole not testing early business is starting to drive me batty. I just have to keep reminding myself of patience.
QOTW: I can blow spit bubbles off of my tongue. My cousin told me I couldn't do it when I was in elementary school and me being who I am took that as a challenge. Needless to say I worked hard and practiced until I could.
Update: My transfer is set for 6/6.
Aegis - I'm sorry you are having a tough time. While I do not know your personal journey, I know this process sucks! I will keep you in my thoughts and fingers crossed that things will get better.
