Default March Girls - Marching on and on and on . . .

Since we hit 100 posts on the other March thread I figured I'd start a new one.

Nuts-C - how are you doing? Are you feeling good? I can't wait to see you second beta number!!

Heather - that was a great beta number! How are you feeling?

Angel - I am SO sorry. You know I know how you feel, and lots of us, unfortunately, know how you feel, not that it makes it any easier for you. We are all here for you! Lots and lots of hugs!!

Cindy - how are you doing?

TKeys - what's up? I saw you are delayed - I hope everything is o.k.!

TNT - how are you holding up?

To anyone I've missed - I hope you have a Wonderful Wednesday!!

Hey, ladies. I think gin & i are the only ones still cycling. I was delayed because my estrogen level wasn't down far enough, so I am to continue with 20 units of Lupron today, tomorrow and Friday, and go back in for more bloodwork on Friday. If it drops below 50, then they'll start me on stims. I'm so ready to be doing this already!!

Hi Folks!
Another thread started. And, it is almost the end of March. I still feel time can't go by quickly enough!

TKeys - That stinks that you were delayed. I hope all goes well with your appointment on Friday and you can start stims then! There has been way too much waiting for you if you ask me! I look forward to following your cycle and hope to give you as much support as you have given all of us!

AquarianAngel - I am so sorry this cycle didn't work out for you. My thoughts are with you and your DH.

JSquare - I am not sure if you saw my post on the end of our old thread. My second beta was 1328. I go in for Friday for my first ultrasound, then I go to one 2 weeks after that and then I am off to a regular OB. It is all happening so fast. I think we are still in a bit of shock. DH hasn't really accepted it. He keeps saying "If this pregnancy" works and stuff like that. I asked when he would begin to really think of me as pregnant and he said at the ultrasound. I said really? He said, well, probably after the first heartbeat. I think he tries to protect himself in case something goes wrong whereas I would just like to proceed as if nothing could ever go wrong.

Happy Wednesday to everyone! We are now halfway through the week!

Nuts-C - I did miss your number - that's fantastic I am SO happy for you!! Having someone as nice and supportive as you get such a wonderful result means a lot to me and it really keeps my spirits up to keep going on this IVF rollercoaster! I told DH and he's happy for you too and I told him what your DH said and he said he would feel the exact same way! We should get these two together

Wow I miss one day and a whole lot has happened.

Heather - Congrats!

Meenu - Sorry it didn't work out this time. At least you have company to share your grief. I know it's a tough blow.

Nuts - Awesome beta number. It's for real girlie.

Jen - Sounds like a good plan. Hope you get your BFP soon. I'm praying for you.

Tkeys - Delays suck. Hope your estrogen drops. I had several cancelled IUIs due to high e2. I really think acupuncture helped me with that. Best of luck to you.

TNT - How ya doing sweetie?

Cleshe - You ok?

I started herbs and acupuncture to prepare for out next try. It tastes gross, but I'll do anything.

Nuts-C... Lurking since I'm more of an April cycler... CONGRATULATIONS on your great beta #s!!!! for you and your DH...

Cindy, how are those herbs? Like dirt? I missed my window of opportunity to take them since I just started my stims on Tues. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. Oh well. Still keeping up with my acupuncture, though. BTW, where do you go? I go a place in So Pasadena that specializes in IF acupuncture... just curious.

Thanks Lynn and Cindy!

JSquare - that is funny your DH feels the same way. I know I will tell my DH about that but part of me thinks I shouldn't encourage him. I want him excited now!

I am happy (and honored) I can help keep your spirits up. You have definitely been my inspiration throughout this cycle. I just think you are amazingly strong for getting through these last few months. Your DH sounds wonderful too. I can't wait to hear how your follow up appt goes next Friday and look forward to hearing about your next cycle!
