Cassandra - I am feeling VERY confident that a baby shower is in store for you soon!
When do you find out again? I think you had said Monday? Best of luck to you and your dh. Enjoy your weekend.

Elizabeth, thanks, I find out NEXT Friday. My biggest fear though, is the U/S for heartbeat. I hoping to be throwing up everywhere by then. No morning sickness last time and a lot of bleeding and cramps. So far, no bleeding. They say prometrium makes you bleed. I'm trying to relax more this time without quitting my stressful job!
Fortyfour, how far along were you when you started morning sickness?.....cassandra

Hey Cassandra, I was sick almost right away. I had really bad heartburn with nasea for 3 weeks and then the uncontrollable vomiting started. I hope not to be that sick with the next pregnancy. Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones and not get that sick. I think the hormones we have to take though make the sickness worse..
Good luck with your test and I am glad hubby will be home soon. Mine comes home today after 6 days away.
Take care all.

Cassandra,
Is prometrium the pregnancy hormone? I am still green on all of this stuff. Will next Friday be the two week mark after the embryo transfer? My physician has been fairly vague about the whole process. It has been explained to me that a pregnancy test is done two weeks after the ivf. You had mentioned that you are most worried about hearing the heartbeat.....does that mean that the pregnancy test isn't always acurate. I am so clueless.
I hope the next week flys by for you. Have a wonderful, restful and relaxing weekend.

Elizabeth, Last year, I had a positive pg test, but when it was U/S time, there was no heartbeat. Yes, I was pregnant but the embryos didn't mature or grow. Prometrium is progesterone which I have to take for I think 6 weeks. It's a vaginal suppository taken 3 times daily.My pg. test is actually 2wks after retreival.
Fortyfour, well I haven't realyy been feeling sick yet, I am hoping to though. I didn't feel nausea last time , in my mind nausea is a good sign. Glad the dh is home mine is too. cassandra

Good luck Cassandra! They say that having morning sickness is a very good sign. Your hormone levels are where they need to be and your body is just reacting to them. We should love morning sickness then I guess!

Fortyfour, How are you doing? Do you have any more days off with the new job? I was wondering how often you see Cassandra.
Tonight on Lifetime is a movie on teenage girls and how mean they can be.My dh went to poughkeepsie again overnight so I'll ba watching it. I can relate to mean girls in school.I dropped out of highschool 15 years ago because of harrasment from girls. My last day was walking to my locker to see Hope is a slut spraypainted along the entire row of lockers.I'll probably cry during the movie but that's OK. Lately crying for me has been a stress reliever. 
You mentioned Cassandra was tall... I'm also 6'. Hope your'e getting along OK. It's been raining here for a couple days but it's melting all the snow! I've been going out in the rain checking to see if my tulips I planted in the fall are coming up!
Yesterday I went to bridal shower for an old co-worker who got her degree in phsical therapy and moved to Boston. She informed me I'm invited to the wedding. That was nice. She received some beautiful gifts. I came home took a nap then went to a tastefully simple party and had some delicious sauces and dips. I know I rambling...please bear with me!
Last night I picked up my mother at the airport. She just came home from a cruise. I was kind of disapointed she didn't ask how I was doing. That's OK I have kind of resided myself to not talking about it with her or my sister. That's why I've been posting so much. This is good therapy for me.Well, the sun is trying to poke out, time to check on the tulip situation! Love to all.....cassandra

Cassandra, I am doing good this week. The sickness and hormone hell is gone. I see my daughter about 3- 4 times a year so it is hard on us. We usually get along great. Just the normal teenager stuff. She is 6'1". She doesnt like school either because of all the peer pressure. She is not timid like I was and can really stick up for herself.
Still looking at donors. I am glad you are feeling good and that the sun is peeking out there. I planted some geraniums yesterday and hopefully no more freezing days here.
Take care all. PS hubby has been home for 3 shocking days.

Hi fortyfour, Glad to hear you are doing well. This morning I just feel low. I have a great day then a so-so day. I'm trying to stay positive but today I don't feel different. I haven't been sick....except in the head. I am so relaxed when I'm home but going back to work today. I haven't had that breast tenderness the girls talk about and I don't feel nauseas. My husband came home sick last night and is taking the day off today. I just really am anxios to have this wait over with. This time I will definately ask for beta numbers. Everyone keeps popping up pregnant on the boards. I'm happy for everybody, they deserve it, they've been trying just as hard as we have. I'm just scared .What if I'm not? I would feel as if I let everyone down.My friend Dawn says 3rd times a charm a lot. But what if it's not? I guess I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst. Even if I am, I will be walking on eggshells hoping not to miscarry. There have been a lot with this group You, me a bunch. I'm letting off steam again thanks for letting me decompress before work. I test on Fri. I will hpt probably thurs. eve. What do you think?.....cassandra

Hang in there and dont worry too much about symptoms. A couple of my ivf contacts had no breast tenderness until 6 weeks. I hope work was a slight distraction for you. I think the last 2 daysof the 2ww are so hard. I would test the night before the test if you feel like it. I hate going into the lab test not having a clue if it is positive or negative. The hpt can always be wrong but if you get one that tests down to 25 of hcg in the urine it should show a positive. Some of them are sensitive to 15 of hcg. Good luck girl we are pulling for you. You will not be letting us down if you are not we will just be sad for you. Take care.

Cassandra - I will be crossing my fingers and saying some prayers for you for the next couple of days. I know is is hard to be positive. I have no idea how to suggest being positive, as everyone on this journey has had to deal with a series of disappointments.
Take care and vent anytime. MAJOR BABY DUST TO YOU!
