just relax...it's supposed to rain so we'll be in for atleast Saturday. Maybe we'll catch a movie
Good luck ladies, and hugs to those that need them! I'm so glad that gluek and genmalone will both be back at home this weekend!
Update: Just enjoying the roller coaster of emotion that is the 2ww. One minute I'm hopeful, the next I'm scared to death!! I do have weird little twinges and cramps here and there, but it's hard to tell if it's my ute or if it's GI. I started Estradiol two days ago, and it seems to make me a little nauseous unless I eat. So I'm eating nonstop!
QOTD: We are going to see Hunger Games this weekend!

Great news! I might see you over at PG>35...thinking of introducing over there. Along with PAIF, I intro'd at my BMB -- but I'm just not feeling that place (the BMB, not PAIF). After some lurking, I think I'd feel more at home on PG>35 than Nov'12.

Update- I am still resting after my ET yesterday. I had my first break down this morning. My kitty punched my uterus while I was laying in bed. She is crazy and aggressive in the morning before she is fed. I immediately started crying and thinking the worst that she may have dislodged my embies. DH just kicked her out and held my hand until I calmed down and he said... Does it hurt??? And I said well no... I am sure everything is fine but I just couldn't help my outburst! Question of the Day:
Any weekend plans?Not too much planned. We are going to my Cousin's little mans Bday. He is turning one and is absolutely adorable. He was a premie and is still so little but developmentally he is pretty much on target. He is one of the happiest babies I've ever been around. Other than that we just plan on taking it easy and hoping those little bolos(my two embies) are snuggling in:). We will just have to keep monster kitty away from me in the mornings before she has been fed.
DH diagnosed with Testicular Cancer 8/2010
Low sperm count. Only option IVF with ICSI
Starting First cycle Jan/Feb 2012- Canceled due to not responding to BCP and/or Lupron

Update: I'm officially in beta hell
Beta #1 was nice and strong at 106 but it only increased to 140 today. A 33% rise. I have to go back in Monday for beta #3. I'm trying to hang in there... but this just sucks and I'm pretty upset with the world. I'm doing my best to stay optimistic but it's hard.
QOTD: Just trying to make it until Monday.
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

Lynda - I saw your XP. Cr.ap!! You do not deserve this. Stay strong, have faith and maybe as one of the posts on your XP said, it could be 2 that implanted and 1 did not stick. Fx (and toes) that this is just slow starter and that this is your take home LO. This will be long weekend for you, try to find a good distraction, a movie perhaps and relax as your nemo's need that from you now. Maybe a lotto win will take you mind of it
Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p

Prayers for better days and healing to Dstevens429, who miscarried her LO. And also to glueck, who has been through a terribly unfair ordeal but is finally being released from the hospital to recuperate at home. Huge (((hugs))) to both of you.
Update: not much to update on..I had an incident with what felt like hitting a nerve with my PIO and woke up this AM barely being able to move or put pressure on my right leg...getting better with lots of tylenol! Almost finished week 1 of my 2ww, and it hasn't been too bad. My phantom symptoms include: sore boobs and lots of cramps...that seemed to be better today, but then again it could have helped with all the tylenol I've taken
Question of the Day:

Hugs & love all around to those that need it.
I am still in limbo hell. Waiting for May feels like waiting for honey to drip on a winter's day. Some days I am ok...I had a few bad days last week where all I could do was cry & cry. I am off for the next week (spring break)...this could be a GREAT thing...time to chill and relax. Or, I can drive myself crazy with all this spare time.
