Karyn-We are all bitter at times. It just doesn't seem fair. I had a horrible xmas last year because AF had arrived and I was miserable. I definitely agree the holidays make it harder. I'm kind of glad I opened up to some family and friends about what we are experiencing. Because instead of that constant question coming up most will avoid the issue or actually ask what's going on because they care. I do it hate though when I get together with my girlfriends who have kids and they make the stupid comment "oh just wait til you have kids and you'll know what we're talking about." UGH. You're not a downer, you're being relastic and it's how we feel. you shouldn't feel bad posting it because that's what we are all here for. Hopefully the RE will give you some ideas soon!
Betsy-Waiting....... Tina-Thanks!

I love getting my hair cut. The lady who cuts my hair massages your head & washes your hair for like 10 minutes! It's so nice!
I don't think I am just down about infertility today, I am just very crabby! Everything has irritated me today, even the people on the news irritated me this morning. Heidi - Thanks! I think I had better sleep in tomorrow so I don't wake up like this again! I'm supposed to finish up Christmas shopping so maybe I'll have to splurge on myself. I think Emily buys shoes.........I might have to try that tomorrow  Lauren - Thinking of you! Betsy - Anxious to hear!

Lauren - I am SO happy for you! 3 is wonderful! Much
 to you!Betsy - You know, Jose reacted kind of the same way when I first got my BFP. I was disappointed too and was expecting a much bigger, happier response. But I think there is a new fear that comes into play when they realize this could be IT. I think they fear of something going wrong, how we'd react and how they would feel. At least thats what Jose felt and he wanted to stay cautious until we got actual confirmation and saw a baby on the ultrasound. I know that when that happens, Carlos is going to be ecstatic and is going to totally watch over you like a hawk. I can't wait to hear your results. Oh, btw, I was roaming online and found this for you

Lauren I see you! Are you typing up your experience?! We're all dying to read!
What if all three embies implant and split?! You could have six babies. Woah.

I am here... trying to figure how to type lying down...
It went well. My embies were a 7 cell (grade 3), 5 cell (grade 3) and 4 cell (grade 2+). They are graded 1-4, 4 being the best. When we went in the room there is this incubator like machine in there and a little petri dish inside. The embryologist met with us and explained the quality of our embies and handed us a little picture. Then she went to the machine and looked through the microscope. She told us which one was which and then let us look at them. I cried. So sweet to think that those little cells are babies of ours. The re came in and I laid on the table... basically it was like a pap, with the speculum and all. They do an abdominal u/s at the same time to see where they feed the catheter into the uterus, and then they basically squirt them in! SO, I have 3 of them inside! They did icsi and assisted hatching to help them along. The shell of my eggs is too thick... another sign of poor egg quality. She said my eggs look like those of about a 40 year old... Anyway, I am happy to be home. I am set up on the couch and will be playing on the computer for the next 24 hours of strict bedrest!  As soon as DH can scan the picture of the embies I will post it!!
