Well how is everyone? (((HUGS)))) to those who need them and FX for those cycling or 2wwing :-)

So because I had a HCG booster after my transfer I promised DH no POAS this time around, and its driving me nuts! I am 5dp5dt and besides a few twinges have felt fine, normal, and I really am not sure about going into beta without SOME idea of what is going on. Boo!

AFM: got my hysterscopy date set for nov 5th and beta numbers are going down finally I go tomorrow for what I hope is my last blood test of this horrific cycle. Please go to zero! Fx
Little whine from me.... I couldn't sleep last night so for the first time ever I went in the guest room and slept on that bed (which I might add is sooo comfy) and DH woke up in middle of night freaked out... Found me and then proceeds to get mad because I wasn't sleeping with him. He thinks he's comming down with a cold and I don't want it.... But he is still mad at me today and texting me that he's pissed. I think he's having a pms moment today. He leaves in three days for a boys trip to AZ and I can't wait to have to house to myself for a whole week. I know that's bad lol

AFM, my biggest vent is that I haven't gotten my period yet and it's been over a month since my last period, which was post-BFN from DE FET. I'm supposed to go back to the RE with my November period, but if AF doesn't show in the next week or two I may just give them a call. I'm still hoping to cycle in January and don't want to be delayed b/c all of a sudden my period doesn't want to show up on a normal schedule.

Stinkerbell, I wouldn't be able to hold off like you! When is your beta?
Mrs. McIrish - have I seen you on an RBA thread at another board? I thought I recognized your name. My consult with RBA is in November.
Strudel - You are such a great person for offering an amazing gift!
Becky - that is awesome that you are cycling after 2.5 years, fingers crossed.
Seems like lots of you are in exciting times.
I'd like to whine about playing the waiting game. I have go hurry up and wait for the consult and then wont be able to transfer until next year due to holiday shut down.

Sorry, I am on my way out the door-but did want to comment here first. First of all, I am thinking of everyone here and wish everyone all the best. Some ladies here I have known for years, some just since this board has been created......but I know that everyone here deserves to be a Mom, and I just wish that it wasn't so hard for so many!!!
I'm thankful for the technology and REs that have been able to help so many ladies. But, I'm also ANGRY that there are no guarantees. After all the heartaches and expense that our journey through (yes, I intentionally used through because I hope that if we keep going we can obtain our hearts desires or peace with a different outcome) IF, we should all be able to have take home babies. It breaks my heart to see good people giving up, because of $$$, age, lack of will to continue the fight. I could go on and on, but guess that I just want to say that I want success for everyone-and I hope that the challenges of this journey will fade into the past. Wishing everyone easy cycles that result in sticky BFPs!!

McIrish- So happy to see you here!! I have a good feeling about your next cycle!
Lacy- I this time flies by for you and you can move forward with your FET early in the new year.
Double P- I hope your levels improve and your FET is ASAP!!
AFM: our wtf went well. We have 2 frozen day 6 blasts. One is an expanded B and the other is an early A. Our RE was not concerned about them being frozen on day 6. He emphasized that they were still thriving and of very good quality and felt we had a 50% chance given the quality and recent improvements in freezing techniques.
We discussed bloodwork, and he felt that this was not contributing to the embryos not implanting. He felt that if we were having early losses it would be appropriate to do bloodwork, but given there was no implantation, didnt recommend it. He agreed to do it if I wanted, but I ultimately decided against it given he doesn't think it's a factor. I did have a hysteroscopy, which fortunately revealed a normal uterus. Endometrial bx results will be in next week.
We are going forward with our FET with my next cycle. Transfer late nov/early dec.... Hoping for a Christmas miracle. Preparing for our next steps.

Good luck tomorrow McIrish at your consult hopefully they give you a good feeling and you can get things rolling!
Mm good luck with the news hopefully they come through and donor is available!
AFM: got my hysterscopy date set for nov 5th and beta numbers are going down finally I go tomorrow for what I hope is my last blood test of this horrific cycle. Please go to zero! Fx
Little whine from me.... I couldn't sleep last night so for the first time ever I went in the guest room and slept on that bed (which I might add is sooo comfy) and DH woke up in middle of night freaked out... Found me and then proceeds to get mad because I wasn't sleeping with him. He thinks he's comming down with a cold and I don't want it.... But he is still mad at me today and texting me that he's pissed. I think he's having a pms moment today. He leaves in three days for a boys trip to AZ and I can't wait to have to house to myself for a whole week. I know that's bad lol
@Mrs.McIrish you know I'm rooting for you big time! GL on consult.
@ mm29 Praying you get your donor you want

@mm29 , I hope that the donor you want is available!!

AFM, my biggest vent is that I haven't gotten my period yet and it's been over a month since my last period, which was post-BFN from DE FET. I'm supposed to go back to the RE with my November period, but if AF doesn't show in the next week or two I may just give them a call. I'm still hoping to cycle in January and don't want to be delayed b/c all of a sudden my period doesn't want to show up on a normal schedule.

Ha! It must have been your siggy I recognized. Too funny, I didn't realize you were Tulley.
Sorry, I am on my way out the door-but did want to comment here first. First of all, I am thinking of everyone here and wish everyone all the best. Some ladies here I have known for years, some just since this board has been created......but I know that everyone here deserves to be a Mom, and I just wish that it wasn't so hard for so many!!!
I'm thankful for the technology and REs that have been able to help so many ladies. But, I'm also ANGRY that there are no guarantees. After all the heartaches and expense that our journey through (yes, I intentionally used through because I hope that if we keep going we can obtain our hearts desires or peace with a different outcome) IF, we should all be able to have take home babies. It breaks my heart to see good people giving up, because of $$$, age, lack of will to continue the fight. I could go on and on, but guess that I just want to say that I want success for everyone-and I hope that the challenges of this journey will fade into the past. Wishing everyone easy cycles that result in sticky BFPs!!
@BeckyP005: YAY for FINALLY cycling!! Sending you tons of good luck vibes!!
AFM: I had my final lining check this morning and it's a 10, triple stripe. YAY! So now I'm just waiting for my RE to review my labs & ultrasound so I'll be given a definite time and date for ET.

Stinkerbell- Hoping this is finally IT for you!!!
McIrish- So happy to see you here!! I have a good feeling about your next cycle!
Lacy- I this time flies by for you and you can move forward with your FET early in the new year.
Double P- I hope your levels improve and your FET is ASAP!!
AFM: our wtf went well. We have 2 frozen day 6 blasts. One is an expanded B and the other is an early A. Our RE was not concerned about them being frozen on day 6. He emphasized that they were still thriving and of very good quality and felt we had a 50% chance given the quality and recent improvements in freezing techniques.
We discussed bloodwork, and he felt that this was not contributing to the embryos not implanting. He felt that if we were having early losses it would be appropriate to do bloodwork, but given there was no implantation, didnt recommend it. He agreed to do it if I wanted, but I ultimately decided against it given he doesn't think it's a factor.
I did have a hysteroscopy, which fortunately revealed a normal uterus. Endometrial bx results will be in next week.
We are going forward with our FET with my next cycle. Transfer late nov/early dec.... Hoping for a Christmas miracle. Preparing for our next steps.
