 Hey there! Sorry I have been off line for a while, we changed internet providers. what a pain. Anyway, just checking in. It's great to hear everyones good news and at the same time sad to hear of the bad news. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
My update is that we went for 12 wk appt. supposed to get u/s but the machine was broken. It's not a necessary u/s but I was soooo anxious to see the little one. I did get to hear the fetal hearbeat via doppler. what a blessing! My next appt is at 16 wks. I am 13 now and feeling good. My energy level is slowly returning. My husband laid it on me this week that he doesn't want to find out the sex. ARGGHH, I'm dying to know. I know on one hand it would be a great surprise, and all we really want is a healthy baby, but for the planning stuff. We'll see, I told him I would try really hard to not find out, but when I get the big 20 week u/s it will be hard.
Meg, how are Ainsley (sp?) and Gavin doing? If I'm sooo busy with Mitch, you must be spinning most of the day! ha! ha! Have you gone back to see the RE about the possibility of transferring your snow babies? (I love how you call them that). Keep me posted.
Heathermac - I'm very excited for you. How are you feeling? Any nausea? How's your grandmother? keep us posted.
Fortythree, Happy belated Birthday, I pray your next cycle goes better.
Much love and prayers to all

Jen,
Thanks for your well wishes!! Yeah, I've got nausea quite badly, and really sore boobies, but I feel fantastic!! I've never been so grateful to be so sick!
We go for another ultrasound tomorrow...so we should see the heartbeat and get a firm due date and all that good stuff...we can't wait!!
Grandmother is doing better, though her Parkinson's is proving challenging...she also has Alzheimer's, so it's quite troubling. But, she no longer has pneumonia, and we are so very grateful for that.
I'm so sorry you didn't get your u/s! What a bummer!! At least you got to hear the heartbeat...but I know how frustrating it must be not to SEE!
I'll post about the u/s tomorrow and keep everyone on all sides of these boards in my prayers.

Jen,
I am glad you are and your little bean are doing so well I was worried about you since you hadn't posted in awhile. I bet you can't wait for that u/s
You still give me great hope that it can work on its own, although it hasn't yet  AF is due to come in a couple of days, and I have had PMS symptoms. I spotted a little a few days ago and no spotting now. I have my hopes up that it may have worked this month, but I have to keep myself in reality that my period will more than likely show up. So in answer to your question, we haven't scheduled anything at the RE, but after AF shows up, I am calling for a consult and at the same time, continue trying on our own. We will heading into month 11 this next time. DH says it isn't going to work on its own. He said after 4 years of trying and only getting p/g with IVF, the chances of us getting p/g on our own are slim. Gee, thanks for the positive outlook. I am just frustrated with everything again, and am so afraid that if we use up the embryos and it doesn't work than what?? DH is more hestitant about doing the whole IVF process again b/c of $$$. I am not ready to give up though. I truly hate this infertility crap more than anything. I just keep praying for another miracle... Do you think it is possible to get lucky and get p/g one more time and carry a baby to term?? I sometimes tell myself yes and other times tell myself no it isn't. I feel like we used up all of our luck w/ the twins. Of course it was GREAT luck to get them:) But just a little more luck would be nice too.
The kids keep me very busy, but it is a wonderful kind of fun busy We still keep a watchful eye on their development b/c they are still behind, but are hoping that they will soon catch up to their peers They are truly the best 
Take Care and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers

Meg,
Hey there. I think most definitely you could get pg on your own. Look what happened to me. I thought it was a miracle anyone truly got pg without pills, injections and IUI's. I keep telling my friends, it's just really hard to believe I'm preg, and all we did was have sex!! hmm, those who have not encountered infertility look at me funny, my friends who have, AGREE!!! My prayers are with you that your spotting was implantation!!! Keep me posted!
Much love'

jen,
Just thought I would let you know, temp dropped this morning, bad headaches, and cramps, all signify AF will be here today or tomorrow. I am pretty bummed out and even cried about it this morning. I don't think we will be one of those lucky couples that conceives naturally after having a successful IVF. DH sperm is just too bad for us to have it happen naturally. I need to face reality - we only can conceive w/ extraordinary means. I will more than likely be calling the RE office this week to set up a consult. I just have to psych myself up for the call and everything that comes along w/ going back to the RE.
Take Care and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Meg

Meg, THAT STINKS!! I went back to the RE before we got pg this time. I was supposed to start gonal f and iui when I got my next period but I got a wonderful blessing instead. I know there's still hope. It only takes one sperm. I have faith, but I completely understand the disappointment and frustration of it all. My prayers are with you. Maybe that snow baby will defrost and become a little brother or sister for the twins!! Have a few glasses of wine if the dreaded flow comes and cry all you want. Gosh knows I have before!!!
MUch love Jen

I know, are you kidding me!!! And the turkey threw away my newest Pottery Barn kids magazine! ARRGHH> I hope they slip at my 20 wk u/s and tell us! )_ I am having a little difficulty with it all. But all in all, I don't care about the sex just a healthy baby. Hey, don't you work L&D. What's your take, do you think it makes a big diff if they don't know. 2 of my friends who work L&D think that there's definitely more excitement not knowing. I don't have to push as we will have a scheduled C. Anyway, thanks for the great wishes. Much love and prayers to you and for your next cycle! Jen

It does amp up the excitement with the delivery not knowing the sex. I suppose the positives on knowing the sex is you can decorate girl/boy and the baby shower shopping is easier. I have been in a few deliveries where the sex was wrong on the u/s and that was "really" exciting. One girlfriend found out the sex and didnt tell the hubby and acted surprised in the delivery room. He might change his mind though. Take care.
