Jen,

We did have our RE appt. and it went as well as can be expected. We may be able to do a FET in perhaps June or July provided we have embryos that survive the thaw, divide, etc. Not feeling too confident about the whole process. It hasn't been the greatest of weeks. Check my post under Sounding Board. I am glad everything is going so well for you :) Please keep us in your prayers as seems the only way that I can get p/g and stay p/g is through divine intervention !!!
Take Care,
Meg

Jen, I decided to join the au natural club ;) I have known since last Thursday that I got a positive. DH and I are in complete shock and I mean shock... We are being very, very cautious about everything given our m/c history. Since we had just started back w/ the RE, I had called to tell them that we got a positive, and they asked if I wanted them to monitor me. I, of course said yes, and have already had one u/s. I saw a sac, but really nothing else b/c it is so early. I have another scheduled for this Wed. I am still not sure if we will be able to see anything or hear a h/b. My anxiety level is through the roof. I just started progesterone, b/c the nurse said the corpus luteum cyst is a bit smaller than what they would like to see and given my history it is better to take it. I just keep telling myself we can't have a 4th m/c, but I guess we will see... I just pray that it was a normal egg and normal sperm that decided to finally get together after all of this time. We have only told immediate family and 2 friends of mine who continually ask how things are going. If it doesn't work out, I don't feel like going back and telling everyone that I miscarried. I am just not up for all of that.

Best of luck to everyone on the boards. I am praying for all of you.

Thanks for the support. I am EXTREMELY nervous about losing this p/g, I can't even explain it. I have insomnia worrying about it, as well I am not eating that much b/c of nervousness. I thought things would be different this time around but they are not.

I also feel guilty about getting p/g on our own as well. I feel like we cheated or something. I wonder did his sperm mysteriously get better or did one just sneak through all of the bad ones; or maybe one of the bad ones found its way and fertilized therefore dooming our p/g. We have been technically trying since 2001 to get p/g on our own in b/w m/c's and after the twin p/g so I think why now??? I just feel like God is going to take this one away too, and then we will be back to square one again. I wish I could know for sure, I guess I will have more of an idea perhaps after we hear a h/b. With our 2nd m/c the h/b was very low so we knew it wasn't going to continue. I won't allow myself to get attatched to a p/g until after 13-16 wks. thanks for letting me vent; DH just rolls his eyes at me and gets annoyed at my incessant worry.

Please take careknow that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Meg

:D don't feel like you've cheated anyone, you are just really blessed. Anyone on this board would love to have such a blessing too and I know are so happy for you. You are in our prayers and I certainly don't know how to keep you from worrying, b/c I would probably feel the same way. The way I dealt with everything was I prayed about and knew it was out of my hands. It''s in God's hands. I hope you have a great pg. Any nausea yet? were you sick with the twins? much love Jen

And again CONGRATULATIONS!!

Jen,

Thanks for the encouraging words :) It is so difficult to not worry... I am anxious for the u/s on Wed. I hope I hear a h/b, but again that does not really guarantee anything for us. I do try to put it in God's hands, but as you know it is very hard relinquish control of an uncontrollable situation.

I am feeling okay. Sometimes I feel nauseous and tired, but I am not sure if symptoms are b/c I am always worried, and tired b/c I can't sleep at night ???

The kids are doing well. We saw the neurologist today and she wasn't overly concerned, but said to come back in 4 months for a recheck for Gavin, and said if we are not seeing any improvement in 2 mo. to come back sooner. She is w/ Children's Hospital of Philadelphia so I felt okay w/ the dx, although I am still concerned about his delay. I am still waiting for early intervention to begin for him. It is so annoying waiting for things to begin. I am going to call yet again tomorrow to see what the hold up is. We also are going to try to schedule an appt. for a pediatric developmental specialist, but the wait at Children's Hospital is 9 mo. to a year. Now that is extremely frustrating, plus there is a mountain of paper work to be filled out and sent. I get so tired of the red tape.... In the meantime we just play and shower lots of love on them both:)

I hope you are doing well and feeling good ;) Take care and thanks again for all of the support and prayers :)
