We too are taking a small break ..I was suppose to go to RE for b/w and start provera this weekend but we are waiting until after Christmas, I wanted to be drug free.....for the holidays....lol</p> <p>Thoughts and prayers to you too.....enjoy your vacation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1296679 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 17:56:19 +0000 SunshineMcC 1296679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: Im so sorry for your loss. DH &amp; I had a MC earlier this year, in the 8th week and it was really tough. Sending you prayers, hugs and a shoulder to cry on when you need it. Enjoy your vacation! I'm doing the same in January and really looking forward to it. XO</p> <p>@ShutterBug: Good luck to you! Will be sending you positive thoughts! Will this be your first IVF? Please share lots, as we're considering this as a next step for us. </p> <p>@pui &amp; @faithfertility: thanks for sharing your faith on these boards. I'm struggling to find the balance between trusting God's plan and timing and really, really wanting to start a family. It's so hard. Thoughts and prayers to you both! XO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1296651 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 17:01:11 +0000 SunshineMcC 1296651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shutterbug: thanks for the link. Those pics definitely made me smile!</p> <p>@sunshine1810 @mrstal @faithfertility @happygal: thanks for the hugs! I felt them! </p> <p>AF finally showed up today. My RE actually had me go back yesterday for another beta b/c my hcg was 4.5, and it was borderline. It had dropped to 2.85 yesterday. DH &amp; I talked and think we're going to take a month off and meet with our RE to talk about IVF. We're going to enjoy the holidays, and I get to go to the Caribbean for a girls trip in 3 weeks, so that'll be a nice break. </p> <p>Merry Christmas to all, and thanks for your support. You're amazing!

If you feel like talking to your in-laws will help then you should do what feels right. I hope you can find the strength you need to get through the holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1296279 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 08:45:55 +0000 FaithFertility 1296279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Pui I can only imagine what you must feel, I see you said you feel numb to it all, I felt that way right after our last CP a month ago......make sure you take time to feel your hurt, I know it is hard right now with holidays and such! </p> <p>I too read that bible verse a lot!!!!!! Not only does it show God does great things I can relate to how Hannah is so broken that she is depicted as drunk .....sometimes my emotions are soooo much a can barley explain them!</p> <p>I read this somewhere: IF from the outside you can't understand it, from the inside you can't explain it!!!!</p> <p>Best of luck to you and we WILL get our BFP too!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1296249 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 07:52:35 +0000 pui 1296249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well my seeing of my sister and meeting my future BIL yesterday went okay but very not okay at the same time. </p> <p>Yesterday around noon, SIL called DH and informed us that my hunch was right. She is 10 weeks pregnant. I knew she didn't just take a break from drinking. On the bright side at least I wasn't there when she revealed it to DH's family, but now I know she is going to reveal it to that rest of the family Christmas Eve... Not looking forward to it at all. </p> <p>My sister isn't showing too much yet... Her fiancé and I never spoke, he's pretty quiet, but he seemed nice enough. </p> <p>So basically, both my sister and SIL are pregnant this Christmas. It also feels like most of the TTC 6 months board is also now pregnant. I'm happy for them all but... Well, you know... </p> <p>I'm surprisingly numb to it, although I did cry. I think it's time I spoke to my ILs about our IF in the hopes they will be more sensitive... But I don't think I am getting through Christmas unscathed. </p> <p>I stayed up late reading the beginning of 1 Samuel for the 800th time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1295811 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 15:17:09 +0000 FaithFertility 1295811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Yay, to getting your meds....I hope 2014 brings your H&amp;H baby@!!!!!</p> <p>When I first got my Noveral I too about died when I saw the BIG needle......lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1295446 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 08:49:11 +0000 Happygal 1295446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: I've always wanted to go to Key West! Enjoy the key lime pie and sunshine.</p> <p>@Shutterbug: holy cow--that's a lot! That's got to build up the anticipation and excitement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1294951 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:36:57 +0000 Shutterbug 1294951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's my update for the week... I got all my IVF drugs! The only thing missing from this pic is the big box of Crinone (ick) and the sub-q needles for the Novarel. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the big huge needles until I read they were just for mixing :) I still don't have a med start date, but I'm thinking it'll be at least a week or two away. </p> [attach=674/13/my4pln.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1294884 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:50:06 +0000 FaithFertility 1294884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: best of luck to you in the TTW </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1294881 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:49:06 +0000 FaithFertility 1294881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SunshineMcC: I am so sorry https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1294875 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:47:42 +0000 FaithFertility 1294875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: I am so sorry to hear, hugs and prayers to you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1294374 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:01:54 +0000 PastaAndPotato 1294374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thank you all so much for your support and kind words. the good news is that we have two frozens waiting on deck, and i just spoke with my doctor to discuss our "next steps" from here, and will be meeting with him probably when we get back from vacation</p> <p>we're going to key west in early january, and to say i can't wait is the ultimate understatement. a week of sunshine can't come soon enough</p> <p>i just can't thank you guys enough for your support - this is truly an amazing community </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1294338 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 13:32:08 +0000 Happygal 1294338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone. Not much to report here--just hanging out in the TWW and feeling not pregnant. I've pulled away from HB a bit just for a little breather. </p> <p>@PastaAndPotato: I'm so, so sorry to read this update. It sounds like a dumb question to ask, but how are you doing? Where will you be taking a vacation? I hope it's a a time of restoration for you.</p> <p>@SunshineMcC: hugs to you, friend. How did the company holiday party go? Has AF showed up?</p> <p>@Sunshine1810: that's a lot of family health stuff! How is everyone doing? Will they be home for the holidays?</p> <p>@mrswin: I'm so glad you have a good new RE! That's huge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1293695 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 09:54:26 +0000 pui 1293695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: Congrats!!!

That all sounds so stressful.</p> <p>No updates for me, counting down to AF so I can have my HSG.</p> <p>Oh that job I interviewed for last week? I got it!!! I start the 6th. My boss was really passive aggressive with me when I told her (not a huge surprise, she's part of the reason I want to leave) so I wasn't as happy as I could have been yesterday but I'm just going to let it roll off my back and countdown to my new job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1292167 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:42:24 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1292167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: thank you.

She is awake and talking, and her pulse is much better since she got the pacemaker, so that's a good thing! My father's knee replacement is infected so he is going to have surgery either tomorrow or Saturday. Needless to say, I feel like I have been living at Boston hospitals this week. I'm exhausted!</p> <p>@Mrs. Polish: I need to take those breaks every once in a while, completely understand!</p> <p>@Leialou: Yay!! FX for you!</p> <p>@mrswin: So glad that you found an RE that you are comfortable with. A good RE and a plan are half the battle. Glad you are feeling more positive!</p> <p>@PastaAndPotato: I am SO sorry for your loss. I was so so sad when I read your post :crying: </p> <p> @pui: Good luck this weekend! I'll be thinking of you. </p> <p>@SunshineMcC: So sorry about the BFN :( Sending lots of positive thoughts your way! Sometimes putting on a happy face is so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1292053 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:04:25 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1292053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: I'm sorry for your loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1292044 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:01:54 +0000 pui 1292044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Me too... :( Everyone in my family is hoping for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219#post-1292041 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:00:17 +0000 spaniellove 1292041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Thinking of you this weekend.

A BFN. Boo. The level was 4.51, so while it's likely negative, if AF doesn't arrive by Saturday, they want me to do another beta test. </p> <p>I want to go home and cry.
