Hi everyone! I have been MIA as DH and I settled and moved into a new house on Friday!!! We have also been off work and have no internet yet. But I'm at work now and can finally catch up on all of you. Believe that I have been thinking of each of you, your progress, and well being during this crazy roller coaster we are all on.
@jencity9 congrats on being PUPO!!! I hope that your 2WW flies by.
@lillovebug79 Congrats on your beans strong heartbeat!! @snegde any update on you?
AFM - I have been completely out of it because of the move, so my 2WW has really flown by. I had my Beta this morning at 14dp5dt so that's like, 20dpo. I don't know quite how to feel, as I think I had to wait the longest to beta than anyone in the group here. But I did hold out and went Beta or Bust!!! No hpt for me! I need the confirmation of the bloodtest. It also helps that I was exhausted from the move, and had no hpts at home to test with anyway. I hope to hear back from the REs office by this afternoon. I'm so nervous!

@jszy10 your nurses must be pure evil! I would think that the betas should be the first calls they make after all the bloodwork appts in the morning!! I'm praying for good news for you.
@LO95 I'm sure many of us will still be around for you. How have your fert reports been?
Ahh!!! I needed to hear a good number to really feel excited I think....473!! I'm very happy with that!!! Progesterone is over 30, so hopefully that Is good too!
Back on Wednesday for beta #2!!!
@Sha259 -- my clinic has 3 locations and the nurses and drs. do like this round table discussion/phone conference where they go through all patients numbers, results and plans. That starts at like 1 or 2? So they don't call anyone until after everyone has been discussed. It is nice to have that much professional input on your cycle, but damn the wait sucks!

I'm considering asking my office to do my beta on a different day so that I don't have to deal with any news (good or bad) on a workday... if they would be willing to do Saturday I would even wait that extra day. My DH and I are also currently off on Thursdays so could do that if they'd do a day early. What do you think? I haven't decided if I should ask yet and wonder if they would even be willing.

Yay! Great beta @jszy10!!! Congrats! That is crazy about the call timing though. It would drive me batty waiting for them to talk over everyone's case before making calls. And I'm normally a very patient person. @jencity9 I don't know about changing beta day, but it can't hurt to ask. I'm sure they will try to accommodate your needs.
uggghhh... I go for days not getting on here and then I wonder how everyone is doing. I log on and read the up-dates. As I am reading all of those Happy and Hopeful thoughts that I had when going through IVF come back...
And then I remember yeah that didn't turn out so good
Although, I am SO HAPPY for you all. Lot's of BFP'S!

Our current status is waiting for a 5DT tomorrow. I hate hate hate waiting for this to happen. I feel very unsettled knowing that I want to transfer two and RE is going to push one. I don't want to go against medical advice and I know that I really don't know anything about IVF, but we didn't do genetic screening and so without knowing much about our little embies it makes me feel uncomfortable to only transfer one.

@jszy10 no up-dates yet. We have to pay off our Lovely $17,000.00 IVF loan before we can get signed with an adoption agency. But as soon as we have that paid off, hopefully we won't have to wait too long with an agency before we get our baby.

Back on Wednesday for beta #2!!!
@Sha259 -- my clinic has 3 locations and the nurses and drs. do like this round table discussion/phone conference where they go through all patients numbers, results and plans. That starts at like 1 or 2? So they don't call anyone until after everyone has been discussed. It is nice to have that much professional input on your cycle, but damn the wait sucks!

That is crazy about the call timing though. It would drive me batty waiting for them to talk over everyone's case before making calls. And I'm normally a very patient person.
@jencity9 I don't know about changing beta day, but it can't hurt to ask. I'm sure they will try to accommodate your needs.
uggghhh... I go for days not getting on here and then I wonder how everyone is doing. I log on and read the up-dates. As I am reading all of those Happy and Hopeful thoughts that I had when going through IVF come back...
And then I remember yeah that didn't turn out so good
Although, I am SO HAPPY for you all. Lot's of BFP'S!
ME: 37, DH: 40
TTC since September, 2005 (8 yrs and 9 mos - but who's counting)
Dx: PCOS, Endometriosis, Adenomyosis

IVF #1: 4-24-2014: Started an IVF Cycle on Clomid, my body didn't respond so it was cancelled.
IVF #2: 7-11-2014: BFFN
Our RE believes I have an Immune Disorder that destroys my eggs and our embryos.
We decided against any more testing or procedures with Infertility and are Happily waiting to Adopt our little one.
