Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 , Thank you so much! Hopefully that blanket of baby dust will turn into baby blankets soon! I'm so excited that you are getting to start IVF. I'm sure you are both excited and nervous...but look at the outcome and it will all be worth it! Good Luck tomorrow night and keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 Thanks Elle, Your mother-in-law is sooooo right! I've heard that comment from friends who had twins after a single child. I'm just so worried whether implanting 2 is enough, what if they don't take? I'm thinking about doing 3 instead (this way the possible multiples would more than likely be twins, which I can handle). It is such a tough choice. maria 2ww > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi Ladies, > > > > > > > > > > So is it down to Elle and me in the 2ww?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 , Oh...I was stressing, but I had family in town to keep me busy, so you all didn't have to hear about it! Last week there were a couple of days I felt a little queasy and then since Monday, my boobs have been SO sore, like they are on fire! My next HCG is on Monday and I'm hoping my number is above 3000, then I would probably have an u/s either Wednesday or Thursday.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 , That was my nurse in the recovery room. I also have to share the other side of that story. My nurse that took care of me in my hospital room was the complete opposite. Someone had put a silk red rose on my door with a card that said, " you are loved " . When DH found it he asked her who had put it there. Annette, my nurse, said, " when you've suffered a loss, it's the least I can do " . I thought that was amazing. Then, when we were waiting for the wheelchair to leave the hospital, I thanked Annette for being so kind and compassionate. She came over, gave me a big hug and said to me, " a loss can pave the way for another baby. It did for me " . I thought that was so sweet. This was on Dec. 9th and we had already decorated our home for Christmas. We had hung a stocking for our baby. After the ep, I decided to keep the stocking up in rememberance of our baby but I added the silk red rose from Annette. I will never forget Annette and the love she showed me that day. I would love to see Annette again, maybe with a baby in my arms, and tell her just how wonderful I think she is. She truly is in the right profession...they should all be like that! elle > In a message dated 2/12/2001 6:05:32 PM Eastern Standard Time, > myeroyse@p... writes: > > > > " it wasn't a baby, just a group of cells.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 Elle, Aunt Rose is hysterical! We gave her a body massage as a gift. She insisted on getting the really hot looking guy because I was getting married (so I couldn't have him!). She's in her 70's and has a better social life than all of us put together! maria Re: elle > I can't wait to meet and Aunt Rose!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 maria, try to stay calm. He is probably so stressed about tomorrow. I know that when i had all of my problems my dh gets lets say snippy. We I had my ep I was almost passing out from the pain and he is screaming at me if i wanted an ambulance. How stupid. I would have just called without asking him and i difenitly wouldn't yell. Man are weird. Try to relax and enjoy your time alone. LOL you know he'll be back soon. good luck tomorrow jeanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Try not to worry too much and do ask the dr says and hop in bed. From all that I've read and heard on this board, progesterone definately does have a side effect of spotting. I will pray that that is all that is happening.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Thanks Amy! I hope you are right. I'm just really nervous for my u/s on Wednesday. I appreciate your prayers.
