    Ok, ladies. In need of lots of prayers over here. I am thinking/afraid/worried I am pregnant. I had some spotting Friday morning that would line up perfectly timing wise as implantation bleeding. I am so exhausted I literally can not function without napping for the past 3 days. My hair is a total grease pit. It's too early to test, but I am stocking up. DH and I would both be super excited if we are pregnant, even though we're on birth control and not trying. HOWEVER, my little sister is in the middle of in vitro. She has lost 3 babies, they've never been able to figure out why. If I am pregnant, her scheduled implantation should put her about 3 weeks behind me, which is how our first pregnancies were spaced out. I am absolutely terrified (and was even before thinking I was pregnant) about whether the in vitro will be successful. I guess I'm feeling a little de ja vu and I'm scared of her going through another loss and having to see my go through another pregnancy. We need all the prayers we can get for her that she has a successful pregnancy. I am really hoping that it is God's plan for us to have babies together.

    ***update***
    Today is retrieval day! She has 9 follicles, at varying maturities. She just went back to start the procedure. Please send positive thoughts/prayers for a good number of healthy, mature eggs!

    @anonymommy I always wished I had a sister (had 2 older brothers, LOL!) and reading your post made me wish I'd ended up with a sister like YOU! What a beautiful thing, that you are thinking of her  :x

    I can't speak for your sister, but DH and I have been TTC for a while and I can say that, no matter how sad it is for us that we don't have a little one yet, we are always thrilled for our friends and family members when we find out they are expecting. I will definitely keep both you and your sister in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of love to you!  >:D<

    Thanks, ladies :x

    @lizzybee, praying for you and your DH as well. My sister and I are very close, there's nothing in the world I wouldn't do for her and it kills me to see her hurting. Hopefully the next pains she'll have will be labor pains :). (and you too!).

    So sweet that you are thinking of her!  Wouldn't the world be great if everyone thought of others feelings like this?

    @lolafl...it would be!

    I am so nervous about this.  She came into my office this morning (we work together) and had tears in her eyes because she's getting more and more nervous as the implantation time arrives (last week of May....she has this week and next of injections and ultrasounds yet, then the week of the 21st is retrieval, then implantation the last week).  I want this SO BADLY for her.

    Transfer was this morning. She had 2 good looking embryos :). We'll find out in a couple of days if the other 2 have progressed enough to freeze. I'm so excited for her and really, really hoping this works. Prayers very much appreciated!

    Today is the big day! She's on her way to STL for her pregnancy test. Need lots of prayers for a big, fat positive! They were also able to freeze one embryo and said it looked really good :)
