Hey JJ-Must be nice kickin it at the beach, I hope to go in Sept while the water is still warm.

I am on 1cc prog. in the a.m. & p.m. but not both, I was givin the choice of either of them but I detest the suppositories. That is awesome that one of yours was already hatching, I used a young donor and none of hers were hatching. As far as your frozen embies go, at least you have a back up plan or have the possibility for siblings. This is my last chance, we have paid for the last 2 donor cycles out of pocket and the well is dry so to speak so I am praying like crazy for a BFP and feel blessed we have 2 frozen blasts just in case this time doesn't work, my dh & I have had some rotten luck as you can see by my siggie, I am trying not to be a doubting thomas but trying to stay grounded.

I hope this time next year we all have babies in our arms

Congrats JJ! We're all waiting now! Our Beta's are on the same day! July 13th! Going to be a long wait! So where in Cali on the beach are you? I was raised there! Oh do I miss it!

I'll be there in September for Labor Day - we are going to spend four days in San Diego in a house we rented right on the beach! I can't wait!

Carol Sue - we did a four day transfer actually - retrieved on the 27th of June and transferred on July 1. I am just waiting to here how many we have to freeze!

Hope you both had a great 4th of July! Can't wait to finish the 2ww with you ladies!

Hey all.... Sorta plagued with insomnia tonight. Enjoying my last night with the sound of crashing waves as a backdrop to bedtime. I'm in Laguna Beach aka Gods Country. I just love it here. Vascilating between + and - thoughts trying to focus on the former, but mostly just to be, period. I still don't know how many were frozen, I'm waiting till my beta to find out.
I found a pewter box (about the size of a deck of cards) with an inscrition inside the lid that says: "Anything is Possible" my donor is a law student and I was thinking it might be cool for her business cards. What do you guys (any and all honest opinions appreciated) think of this as a gift to my donor? Are you guys getting gifts or writing letters?

Ok. Slumber awaits.

Peace, love and HCG.

JJ

JJ - GREAT gift for the donor! Keep the positive thoughts going girl! Especially in Newport Beach! OMG! That's the best place - I was raised in that area and boy do I miss it - especially when its 111 today!

JJBBean, I think that's a really nice gift for your donor.

JJ-I think it is nice too.

KG-Can you not call the lab and ask? that is what I did. I know the 2ww is a drag but even after 5 positive hpt's I still have a lot of crazy feelings and am worrying so much and I am have some very very light discharge, I guess it never ends.

Hey gals! I did POAS! First one was Tuesday! It was BFN! I talked to my nurse whom I love and she said I could but not to be surprised if it was negative and not to call her crying that it didn't work. So I did it again today - same thing - of course I'm not surprised really - tomorrow is 5 days before.....I'm tempted to do it again tomorrow!

CVS pharmacy had a three pack of sticks on sale for $12 and one was digital! I loved it!

JJ - I totally understand where you are at! I am POASing because I get it over with in the am and I don't think about it again that day - so the $$ spent is about my piece of mind more than anything!

Symptoms - let's see - I'm exhausted and hotter than hades and I am dreaming every night. I dream but not every night - when I was able to conceive last year I dreamed every night until I m/c'd. So I'm hopeful - more than anything - I'm exhausted and have strange twinges in my lower abdomen - not cramps - but "feelings" - its weird. Hubby thinks its my head! ha!

Ok ladies - what about you two - symptoms? POASing?

JJ-My beta is tomorrow and I POAS at 2:30 a.m. this morning and again it is a BFP.


KG-It is great you found hpt's on sale, remember the ones w/ the blue dye can bleed and the results can be misleading sometimes at least that is what I have found on the internet. Go to "canyouseealine.com" and register (quick and simple) and look at the results of other womens hpt's if you get a faint +. I burned that sight up along w/ others when I got the faint faint + on my first hpt as well as other sites.

I went to Walmart and bought a 3 pack of FRER hpt's to last me until tomorrow ha ha

AFM-I still have just a tad of dark spotting not enough for a liner and not even all the time. My stomach still "gurgles" down way low and I still have some cramping.
