I have my Egg Retrieval in like 40 minutes.. I'm hoping to have all 7 Eggs be happy and healthy and do the Baby Dance in the Petri dish with DH's donation. Baby Dust to all!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck! Can't wait to hear good news from you

I am exploring options too. My last IUI was extremely painful. So I might not give it a second try, instead will go to IVF striaghtly. My friend, who has been TTC for years and have undergone everything, sent me good news that she's now pregnant w/ second try of IVF! There are hopes

Don't give up.

Just got back from the Dr. and although both ovaries have a small cyst (dr. said most women have cysts) everything looks a-o-k!

Relieved.... now it is time to BD!!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. I think it's working. I'm making little milestones everyday. I just found out, that from my 6 eggs that were retrieved. 2 have SUCCESSFULLY Fertilized! And I actually get a picture of them in a few days! LOL. I feel so silly that I'm getting ahead of myself but it's been a long time since we've had any progress in this area so I'm super excited.

Beejerry - that's wonderful news about your friend! I really admire your spirit. You've always been so positive throughout this whole thing. You really keep me going.

tabbyco - yes, I think they told me it's normal to have cysts. So baby dance away!

mssmelanie- This is so exciting!!

I hope we all get pregnant this month... I am anxious to hear how VTPooh is doing.

Hi Ladies,

I am back.

Bad news. My temperature dropped yesterday and today. And I got a tiny spotting last night.

I cried very bad last night and this morning. I even came to work late. I was still crying at my desk when I got in.

<<<Hugs>>> VT Pooh. Don't be sad, have faith. It will happen. I got my menses few days ago and I was down too but I'm determined to be positive. It's ok to cry, you need to vent, have a good one (or another). We'll be here for one another.

tabbyco · Aug 15th, 2007, 12:59 PM

for VT. Have a good cry.... get it all out and then move forward

. Maybe go do something you wouldn't be able to do if you were preggers (eat Sushi, have a glass of wine or do backflips). Be good to yourself, get a massage, paint your toes or sit in the sun w/a good book and relax.

We are all here to support you and keep you going when you need an extra push. You won't even remember these days when you are holding a little bundle of joy!

Thanks Tabbyco & Ms Piggy,

I am thinking to get the ovalution watch. What do you think??

I still want to cry.

For what it is worth, I tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for over 3 years...I had just about given up. Doctors said nothing was wrong with me or hubby. Well, my husband was in chiropractic school at the time and was learning acupuncture...needless to say he tried the non needle acupuncture on me and I was pregnant the next month!! Now I am pregnant with #3 and haven't had another problem conceiving...

mssmelanie · Aug 15th, 2007, 03:37 PM

VT - Hang in there.. We are here for each other.. It's ok to have a good cry.. Just pick yourself up again and keep going. Feel free to vent to us here. Remember we are all here to support each other and we all understand on a certain level or we wouldn't be on this thread. (((HUGS)))

jfhave - I have heard that accupuncture / accupressure can help.. Maybe if this is not successful this go around, I will try that.

tabbyco · Aug 15th, 2007, 04:56 PM

I've been thinking of trying accupuncture too. Anyone have anymore info on it?

beejerry · Aug 15th, 2007, 05:08 PM

VT -- {{{{{ HUGS }}}}} it's alright to cry and release the tension. But never give up!

Tabbyco -- I've had cysts all my adult life and have undergone two surgeries to remove them. Still I got pregnant once. so, it's normal, and they go away afterwards. Good luck to you.

Mssmelanie -- Congrats on the progress

I heard that accupuncture works too, one of my friends or friend of friends did it for 3 months and she got pregnant. But I hate to drink those black herbal medicine... YIKES. Maybe they'll have pills now. I'm also scare of long needles...

It's like putting long needles on different body parts, and then you rest on a bed for 30 minutes or so. I have never done it, but my husband had it and said it was not painful, just a little tangling.

jfhave · Aug 15th, 2007, 05:27 PM

The acupuncture that worked for me was not with needles...believe it or not there is an instrument they use where nothing breaks the skin...it is called a te-shing...I know I spelled that wrong, but that is what my husband calls his...let me know what info you need and I can ask him...it was a miracle for us...and I didn't have to take any herbs or anything either...
