AGP-The Sky's the Limit!

The Sky Is The Limit...

Dreams and Motivation
Determination and Pursuit of Happiness;

Do what you do to get where you need to get
Never allow anyone to deter you;

Don't feed into negativity
There is a positive in every negative situation;

As the song goes "Tell Your Storm"
That it won't last long;

Don't give up
Keep fighting for what you believe in;

Remember "The race is not won by the swift nor the strong, but to the one who endureth until the end"
In order to get something, you have to fight for it;

Be humble in your journey
It will earn you overwhelming strength;

Pray the entire duration
You need a good friend to see you through the difficult times;

Keep your head high as you reach for the stars
The only obstacles you cannot overcome are the ones you've determined you cannot hurdle over - MIND OVER MATTER;

Be strong, be bold, take charge of your situation
The Sky is the Limit and you are a winner.

Happy Saturday Ladies!

This weekend should be beter than last for me. It will be filled with friends and family instead of boxes of basement junk and strangers....^_^

I am thinking of you all and am sending out plenty of RSSBD and hugs to everyone.

Thank you to FaithNHim for posting such an inspiring poem.

[bree08]

I love this. I'm going to put this part (Don't feed into negativity
There is a positive in every negative situation) in my profile. Thank you :)

[kp1212]

ok, looks like I don't need to start a new thread afterall!  Thanks Kele!

I saw this last night and thought you all might find it interesting...

this is what happens in a 3dt :

1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
2dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
3dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
4dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
8dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
9dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
10dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
11dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

Also this web site is very interesting...http://www.visembryo.com/baby/index.html

Have a great weekend girls!  

[Juana824]

Morning lovely ladies.

Just wanted to drop in and say hi before my medecine kicks in. Erakal, the poem is awesome!

Love and RSSSSSSBD to all!

[Asking4aMiracle]

HAHA i found you, cant hide from me for long!!! =) jk  IM EXHAUSTED!!!! could not get comfy, woke up to pee more times then i can remember, and then was STARVING at like 6 this morning, ate, went back to bed JUST dozed off and then dear daddy decides, lets talk to the baby and wake up mommy.........and were going to have a full day!!

hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!! talk to you soon! *love and Hugs*

[kele1129]

Well I have been put on bed rest for the weekend....started spotting...bah!

[Helen72]

Kele,
did they find the reason for spotting?  In the second trimester it's often placenta previa.  That's what I had anyways and was spotting for a few weeks till my uterus expanded and placenta moved up.  It's fairly common in the 2nd trimester and usually resolves itself.

[kele1129]

It was a bed rest command from over the phone...But if I am still spotting and cramping on Monday I am to go in. I will admit to a bit of fear happening but I am doing my best to control it.
We still a friend coming over for movie night it just means that I don't have to share the couch! Right now I am checking out the menu for a pizza place...of which they don't seem to have the right salad that I want.
Hope everyone else is having a good Saturday, I am as much as I can.

[kp1212]

Kele,
STAY ON THE COUCH!!!
keep us posted, and say hi to the little bean in your belly!
:-) Krista

[blessedmomof3]

kele
That poem is grrrrreat!!!! Not so great about the spotting though. I will keep you in my prayers. Hopefully Helen is right nd it's just Placenta Previa. i had that to, w/ my 2nd.

Asking
That is so cute about DH talking to the baby. I just hope my DH gets that excited if we get PG.

Jauna
We miss you hun.

AFM
Going crazy today. 13 yr son has 5 freinds over and they have taken over the TV. They ate 6 pizzas, and drank 3 2LTS of soda.....LOL. I feel so lost!!!!

[alaskacouple]

Sorry I have been MIA girls,,,,but I need a lot of prayers right now.....

We have spent the last couple of days at the hospital - dh grandfather (83yrs.) fell and broke his neck. The man is 6ft and weighs in at 122!!!  The doctor refuse to do surgery because of his age, his weight, and his condition.....  The worst part..... we all knew he drank 'just a little'...but him being in the hospital is making him go through DTs.... because of his neck injury, he is very uncomfortable, and the flem (phlegm) is building up, but it hurts him so bad to try and cough or clear his throat... so now he is in the phase of getting aspirated pneumonia....
The entire family discussed his situation, and we know that IF he ever gets back home, he will go right back to drinking his 'pork chops'. The hospital staff agreed.... why put him through that when we all know what he will do....so now he gets a bit of alcohol every three hours to help with detox....now if we can just get him through the pneumonia.... the Dr.'s were honest and at least didn't sugarcoat anything, he has about a 50% of getting through this whole mess......

Will catch up more when I can....we will be back at the hospital t'mrw for our shift.

Miss you all!

Sammy

[Juana824]

All Sammy, so sorry to hear that you and DH are going through this right now. I pray that all will be alright. Love ya girlie!

Jenea, I am working my way back...

[sasparilla]

Kele.. I really hope that spotting has stopped this morning. Please rest up and take care of yourself.

Sam.. Jeez.. youve had it rough this past week.  I am so sorry about your Grandpa.  I hope they can help him get through this bad time he's having and he can get some weight on him and heal.  How you ARE doing (besides stressed)?  Do you need to come over and hang out in the baby pool?  We can put it in the basement, get some heat  & sun lamps, fill the rest of the basement up with sand and lounge.

Juana.. Been thinking of you.. Im glad to hear you are "working your way back".. take your time, I know it has to be hard.  We love you and all want the best for you  :)

Jen.. Im going to yell this.. DID YOU POAS THIS MORNING???????????


Krista.. How u doing this fine morning?  Hopefully not stressing out too much this TWW.  Maybe you need to do a polka dance! :O  BTW.. I picked out Black Cherry culah, not french.

Amberlee... Nice penis!  Congrats on the boy!  I hope he's a pro-football player in the making.

Miky... Are you triggering tonight?  Did your RE say that your E2 dropped because he told you to drop your stims to a low amount?  I hope you have a good amount (but not too many) eggies that all fertilize and make booo tiful embabies!!!  Keep us posted on your retreival.

Magda.. Next week, next week.. woo hoooooooooo!!!!!! Go girl go!


Helen.. Helloooooo.. hope you are well and not working too hard this semester.


AFM.. Follies growing nicely.  I put a pic up of my left ovary with a follicle skull face I have growing inside me.  My E2 is higher this IVF for this particular CD than it was last year, so maybe this will be an easier stim.

[kp1212]

Sam,
I am sorry about your grandfather.  I will keep him and the rest of the family in my prayers.
:-( Krista

[miky72]

Kele:How are you this morning?
Sam:I'm so sorry about your grandfather.Is he taking also pain medications.I cannot imagine how in pain he might be.be strong we are here for you.
Krista:How is TWW treating you?Any weird symptoms yet?
Sally:SOOOOOOO happy about your follicles!!sounds very good!when are you going for the retrieval?
Magda:ALMOST THERE!!!!!
Juana:how are you doing?
Hoping:sound like fun ;-)

AFM I'm back home from retrieval still a little groggy.Everything went well and they will give me an update later.
Luckily yesterday (after HCG shot) my E2 went up and this is why we went ahead with the retrieval.
i'll keep you posted.
Love to all,
Miky

AFM

[Jen7900]

I don't really have any symptoms and just got my BFP. The only thing I noticed is that I am extra tired, a little more thirsty, and had some heartburn yesterday (not normal for me).

Hang in there!

Thank you all for the love...

Miky, Sally and Krista - your next!!

[babyalive]

Hi All.

I just thought you might like to know that I talked to Heather's (heathjo's) dh today. She's still in the hospital in lots of pain. She's running a temperature today of about 101. They think it's because she was trying to breast feed, or unable to breast feed. I had a bad connection on my cell and couldn't hear which it was. Anyhow, the babies are drinking from a bottle and doing better. Cadence is under 3 lbs and Henry is just over 3 lbs. Very tiny indeed. I know that you already are but please keep dear Heather in your prayers.


BTW:  Jena  YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Helen72]

Jen,
OMG, I am sooo happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congraaats!!!

[Savanha]

WOW...Step away for a moment & BAM...we get a BFP!!! ;o)

Jen: Congrats Gf!!!! ...over here doing the Cabbage Patch for ya...un-hun...I'm working somethangs w/this celebration. So very happy for you & dh.

Miky: I'm like Sal...how many did they get babes? I hope it was as many as you need to get your BFP...sooooo EXCITED for ya.

Sal: You doing GREAT woman...so hoping for that BFP for ya.

Kriss: How you coming along? You doing good...haven't even talked about poas. ;o) Looking forward to sharing in your BFP results.

Kele: Hope the resting is bringing relief & comfort...here's to baby getting stronger while you rest.  

Magda: NEXT WEEK! ;o) Getting excited for ya lady.

Sam: So sorry to hear about dh's grandfather...I really hate that he is in pain. I hope they can give him as much relief as possible considering all that is involved. I hope that it isn't putting too much of a strain on you...and I hope you are able to get some feet up & resting down time.

Tij: Good to hear you are working your way back...here's to growing stronger each day.

Evie: Hang in...know it's hard, but am really hoping that you get a BFP soon too.

Amberlee: Nice pic of ya baby boy. ;o)

AFM: Went in today for b/w & u/s...I'm having a hard time this round...am really bumming...must be horms + meds. The tech saw 3 follies on left & 1 on rt. I thought they had me on too low a dosage to begin, but thought RE must be trying something diff. Anyways 2 measureable...8.5 & 10...increased dosage to 300 Gonalf (Sun-Tues) go in for 2nd u/s on Wed. In the meantime...nurse didn't order enough meds...using bravelle + gonal tomorrow (2 diff shots...uggggh)...scrapping to get another 75 to add up to 300 for Mon...it's a mess & I am TICKED-OFF! I was able to place order today...it'll be here on Tues...this.......I'm off for today.

Savanha~~

[blessedmomof3]

Alaska
I'm so sorry about DHs grandfather. I will keep him in my prayers.

Jauna
I'm just glad to see you are working your way back. You know we allo love you and will be here if you need us.

Miky
yipeeeee. SO glad you were abled to go ahead w/ retreival. =)

Jen
I am so happy for you. That is just awsome news!!!!!

Savanah
I am so sorry that has happened to you. can the nurse expadite an order of meds for you? I hope it all turns around soon.

[FaithNHim]

Happy SuNdAy to my SiStAhS,,,,

Jen.....CONGRATS!!!! I am so happy for you.

Juana.......You are an amazing woman. I am keeping you and Michael in my prayers.

Helen.....How are you? Post additional preggo pictures when you get a chance.
I have tried to contact reenolay, to no avail. I am a little worried about her. She was very down after the last BFN.

Evie.....It is always difficult to keep your mind focused on anything except...am I pregnant or not. I tried to implement activities that would cause concentration and detail but after a few hours....I was right back where I was before....wondering if I was pregnant.
JUst don't stress....easier said than done but it doesn't do your body good to stress too much.

Alaska....I am sorry to hear about your DH grandfather, I will keep him in my prayers...please keep us informed.

Kele....T. I. E. (Take it easy)


All Sistahs.......We will stick together regardless of what we are facing. We will survive and get through this TOGETHER.....as SISTAHS ........Love to you all.

HAVE A WONDERFUL STICKY BABY DUST FILLED WEEK!!!


Erakal

[Asking4aMiracle]

Sam, im so sorry about your Grandpa, i hope you hop off that train going no where and head over to the smooth sailing one!! im so sorry for all your troubles. maybe these are all the 'storm' before the calm (BFP) take it easy lady!! *hugs*

JEN OMG CONGRATS!!!!! thats wonderful news!! its one of many to come!!!! *LORD WILLING*

T, i hope youre feeling better honey!! hope that vicodin is making you feel quite good actually!! it will all be over soon and you can jump right back up and try again with us all here to cheer you on!! much love my dear!!

afm, i am pooped!! i have been working all afternoon and finally finished the nursery, i just hung up his name and im going to nap!!! ill post pictures later!! we turned the lamp into a tree and i have to admit, im quite jealous!!! im tempted to make our lamp in our room just like it (its the same lamp) anywho......

I LOVE YALL!!!! hope you have a relaxing Sunday night!!!! DH is off helping a friend work on his truck so i have the place alone......woohoo no noise or interuptions, except my "baby" Sheeba, (my kitty) she has been super needy lately and wont let me out of her site, i was telling her all about her baby brother Aidyn earlier and she was looking away with her ears tweaked like she was listening but like yea yea....it was cute.....can you tell im tired, i keep rambling.....bye

[blessedmomof3]

WOW, Amberlee that lamp sounds cute. I can't wait to see pics.

I just had an incredible super. I made Pumpkin Stew and it was sooooo gooood. mmmmmm Anyway, just had to brag on myself a bit.

Love to all!!!

[Juana824]

Hello ladies, First let me say you guys are awesome!!


Not doing too well. The medicine was not as effecive as I would have liked. I think that I am going to have to do it all again on Tuesday. The cramping was bad, but the clotting did not happen like the docs wanted it to. This is driving me crazy!! Sorry to put a damper on all the good news and excitement, but I know you ladies could relate and really truly understand where I am coming from!! ARRGGGHHH!!!

On a lighter note, my kitchen is finally complete!! YOO HOO!!! I am so happy about that. It is beautiful!!

Love to you all and thinking abut you all constantly!!

Tijuana

[alaskacouple]

Evening all!

Good news..... dh granpda is doing better.... He no longer has the DT's (thanks to a sip of R&R about once an hour).... can you believe the man was drinking about a fifth a day! No wonder he was going through detox with such horrible dt's!  He can actually hold a bit of a conversation now, although he is still a bit hard to understand (raspy from them 'trying' to put tubes down his throat yesterday ---- imagine trying to do that without being able to bend the neck!)  They are going to try and get him up tomorrow. He sipped a little bit of broath as we were leaving today. We think the antiobotics kicked the aspirated pneumonia in the but before it could take full hold..... we shall see over the next couple of days... :-0

Tijuana - isn't it wonderful to have a kitchen back?!  I hated all the takeout when we redid our kitchen, and that was a months worth.... yuck.... any new pictures of the kitchen?
I do hope you feel better ..... lots of hugs my sista!

Jen -- congrats!!! Another one for the train! YEAH!!!

Amberlee --- can't wait to see pics of the nursery! Again, congrats on the 'predicted' boy!

Evie ---- think +++++..... some people have no symptoms at all!

Milky ---- can't wait for the update on retrieval! Rest up.... get some of that 'happy sleep"!!

Sal ---- GROW follies GROW!!!  I am a firm believer that it was all the RB and Vodka on the train in the caboose!

Kele --- how you doing? Hope all is well....haven't heard from you in a while?

Magda --- getting excited for you!!!!

AFM....I am 6dpt (of 3day em's) ....and.....well..... don't know if it is stress related or 'preggo' related..... but..... my back has been killing me since Friday (as I sit here and type this my middle back is soooooooo sore)! I have had cramps on and off on Saturday, and more today.... CM is creamy (sorry tmi)..... booobs are tender (thanks PIO!)..... and really tired (I am sleeping about 10 hours a night - not looking forward to getting up early for work t'mrw)..... I want to do a hpt so badly....but I promised dh I would hold off this time :-))  I shall try to wait until Friday....my beta day....
DH won't let me do anything..... for crying out loud I thought the man was going to go through the roof when I wanted to vacuum, but when you have a husky and a cat who shed like crazy, not vacuuming is NOT an option.... It was kind of nice though - I haven't been able to help with any yardwork (breaks my heart), couldn't do the trash tonight (shucks), and unloading and loading the dishwasher he has been doing (what a guy)....
I am back to work tomorrow after having almost all of last week off, and I already know I am going to be slammed, so will have to catch up with y'all after our visit to the hospital.

Keep them BFP's coming!!!!! Send one (or two) this way!

Love All!
Sam

[magda_s]

ooofff... sorry I've been MIA and now so much to catch up on!!

Sam, so sorry about your Dh's grandpa!!  But I'm glad to hear he's doing okay.  Have everything crossed for a BFP for ya!

Jena, again... over the MOON for you and keeping it all crossed for you too!!

Kele, do what you're told and stay on that couch and take it easy.  I'm sure it's nothing that relaxation won't take care of.  Have your DH cater to your every whim and just chill.

Tj , I'm sorry things didn't work as well as they should.  But I'm hoping that maybe when you see your doc he'll tel lyou that it actually worked fine and you don't have to do it all over again.  

Amberlee, you turned the lamp into a tree????  Come again??  Also, sorry if I missed this earlier but what IS his name?

Savanha, did I misunderstand???  The nurse forgot to order the meds so now you don't have enough????  That's about as bad as my doc not getting the thawing gloop in time to thaw my embies!!!!!  I'm so sorry hon and I'm crossing it all for you too... hope that it works out despite all this ****.

Hey Sal... where are you at?  Sorry, can';t remember... what's the next step?  Retrieval already?  When?

Krista, how much longer to go?  When do you do your beta???

Miky, would ya answer the question already?? How many?  

As for me... had my second u/s yesterday and did b/w.  u/s was fine and I get the b/w results in half an hour!!  The current hurdle is my progesterone level.  If it's too high we cancel.  I've had this constant mantra in my head since yesterday - think I even dreamed it - "Please God, please God, please God...".  Assuming the b/w comes back fine, I don';t think the mantra will stop because then it'll be waiting to see if any of my 3 embies survive the thaw (on Friday most likely) and then it'll be waiting to see if any that do survive (assuming they do) survive the next 24 hours until transfer (on Saturday most likely).  It's gonna be a rough few days.  Unless I find out in half an hour that it's not happening.

hugs to all

[magda_s]

WOOHOOOOO... progesterone is fine.

That's one down!

How many to go??????

[miky72]

Magda:GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!

My RE called me yesterday but she did not speak with the embryologist .
I will have the fertilized number for ALL of you today ;-)

[kp1212]

Happy Monday Girls!!!

Jena...CONGRATS!!!  I can't wait for the "official" word today and hear your beta #!!!  With four put back, who knows how many stuck???  BTW-how's the new practice coming along?

Sav, WTH???  Where do you order your meds?  I use Freedom Pharmacy and IVP.  If I get the order in by 6:00 pm, my order arrives the next day.  Just an FYI.  Regardless, hang in there!  My last cycle I was low on Gonal F and had to combine FOUR pens to get my last dose of 450 units!  ARRGGHH!!  So, I feel your pain.  We are pulling for you!  Chin up girlfriend!  We need to see those tonsils you so frequently show us!!  :-)

Sammy, Glad to hear g-pa is doing better.  wow-a 1/5th per day?  That's quite a feat!  He sounds like a funny guy.  Tell him the AGP is wishing him well, and we are a powerful force!  So, your beta is Friday???  I am soo excited.  This is going to be a big week for us...

Sal, Glad that I don't have to come out to Philly and kick your follies into action.  Although, a philly cheesesteak sandwich sounds pretty dang good right now...

Magda, My far away friend!  Yeah for the estrogen!  Ok, next step is embies surviving the big thaw?  Perhaps we should buy the little buggers tiny little scarves to ease their way out of the frost!

Miky, I am soooo pulling for you girl.  Can't wait to get the report!  

Kele, How are you feeling?

Tij, Let me know if you need a ride to the doctor or anything this week.  I am happy to help!  Hang in there my sweeets!  :-)

Evie, We both have beta on Wed...Woo Hoo!!!

Amberlee, I can't wait to see the pics...a lamp into a tree?!?  Sounds really cute!

Jenea, Erakal, Helen, and anyone else I missed...shout out to ya!

AFM...
Well, so far I have resisted POAS.  I am soooo close to doing it right now.  Have it sitting under the bathroom sink and it is seriously speaking to me ('come pee on me...come pee on me...").  This is 10DPT, so how accurate would it be?  I am kind of holding out, b/c if it is negative I will be so bummed.  At least now I can still hold on to the possibility of a BFP!  I had some serious cramping on Thursday, then again Friday night, and sharp cramps Sat night for a few minutes (the kind that kind of take your breathe away).  Also, had some CM (yuck-sorry), I am thirsty as all get-out, and have been sleeping like a hibernating bear.  All of these "symptoms" could be in my mind, but I'm going with it!  HELP!!!   :-)

xoxo,
K

p.s.  Won't it be great at the end of the week when we can add Jen, me, Evie and Sammy to the train?!?  Please please please!!!

[magda_s]

Krista, I'm cracking up oh queen of the visuals... I'm picturing little cartoon embies with scarves and caps and mittens... and pee sticks alternating between calling to you in a haunting, mesmerising tone then yelling at you from behind cupboard doors under the sink and banging on said-doors!
I hope you all get confirmed seats on the train.  And I hope I get to join you... when's it leaving!?!?!?!

Hey Sal... are we going to be 2WW-ing together again???  I just thought... how long till your retrieval?  Maybe we can go buy our tickets together!!!

k... maybe I'm taking the train analogy a touch far.  Back to my assignment!!!

Miky??? nothing yet???

[miky72]

Hey Girls!!
My RE just called.10 eggs fertilized.She still cannot say anything about quality.That will be tomorrow.
I pray that I will have some nice ones to transfer either on Wednesday or Friday.
I'll keep you posted

[Juana824]

That's great Miky! Congrats!

[sasparilla]

Yah Miky, Yah Magda, Yah Krista.. Yah Everyone!
My ovaries hurt so bad from my "wanding" that I feel like puking. So this will be short and uh.. sweet?
I had a few more follies pop up since Saturday, so I have about 13 right now.
I think there's a wrestling team practicing in there!
Magda.. I should have my retreival this weekend or maybe next Monday.
Ok, must go lay down.
Hugs & smoochies to everyone.

[miky72]

Hey Sally!!
WOW!!! 13????
This is GREAT!
Relax and let those nice follies to grow GROW!!

Juana:Thank you my friend.How are you today?Are you going tomorrow to the Dr office?
I think about you all the time.

[Juana824]

I am in pain today. I can't wait for this to be over. I have an appointment tomorrow (thanks Krista for the invitation to take me, I have a ride! you are so sweet!!)

Everyone else, good luck on your betas, retrievals and transfers!! We are a busy group!

Amberlee, when are you posting pics of the nursery??

Kele - Hope you are resting!

Sammy - thinking of you.

I am going to take some more medicine, I feel like I am going to faint, the pain is so bad..

Talk to you later!
XOXO
Juana

[magda_s]

Miky and Sally... that's great news from both of you.
Sally, you'll be a few days after me then with the transfer but not many!
Hope you feel better real quick!

[blessedmomof3]

My bestest Grandpa in the whole world passed when I was in my early 20's and he was buried with a Rosary in one hand and a deck of cards showing a royal flush in the other!  He totally rocked!

Miky... Go embabie, go!  Are you having a 3dt or 5dt? Gonna put a soccer team in there?  I know I am!

Amberlee.. LOVE that lamp y'all made.. how Martha Stewart of you, my dear.  I think you've found your calling  :)

Helen.. 23 weeks.. woohoo.. How time flies.  Youd better get to decorating.. that girl will be here before you know it.  :O

Krista.. **peee on meee.. pee on mee***.. OK, NO NOT REALLY ME, but your pee sticks.. get your mind out of the gutter, R Kelley!

T.. You go back to Dr's tomorrow?  I hope they gave you some pain meds, it really sounds like you need em.  Maybe you go into that shiney new kitchen, make yourself a bowl of chili with soppin' bread and take a pain pill.

Magda.. Yah.. Im right behind you.. hip hip horah!  Go snowbabies, go! Or should I say "Thaw, snowbabies, thaw!"

Savanha.. Are you feelin any chipper today?  Do I need to do a HERKIE for you?  Haahaa.. all you ex-cheerleaders know what a herkie is, I just know it!  Now who in their right mind wants to see a late 30's, overweight, tattooed, follicle boated woman do a herkie? NO ONE in their right mind, thats who!  


Kele.. Hope you're doing okay. Havent sen you post today.

The movie tomorrow night on the AGP train is: Sex & the City (Im so pathetically excited) and what should we have to eat?  I'll make some banana bread (served hot w/butter).

Oh.. and my E2 for today (7 1/2 days of stims) is.... drumroll............. 692. Yippeee!!!
During my last cycle on 7 1/2 days of stims it was less than half that.  So for some reason I am stimming much easier this time.  Weird.  Why? Who in the heck knows?  It's probably because I lost 30 lbs. since last IVF... PSYCH!  Haahaa.. didn't lose a single lb. heehee
Maybe it's my "Manifesting a Miracle" and "Positivity" candles I light every day  :)

Drum role puuullleeeaaasssseeee.....

First beta was 315!!!! Going back on Wednesday to make sure those numbers are going up!

Love you all...off to share the news with mom!

[Juana824]

Congrats Jen!!!

[blessedmomof3]

Jen,
That is great!!!!

Savanah
I'll send you the recipe.

[Glenda306]

Hot, buttered banana bread sounds sooooo good to me...

Jen--Congrats on you BFP.

Juana--I hope you recover quickly, physically and emotionally.  My 1st m/c was a bit drawn-out too, but not as bad as what you're going through.  I'm so sorry for you.  You're in my prayers still.

[alaskacouple]

Jen - Congrats!!!!!! Yippee!!! Another for the train! :-)))

[magda_s]

ooofff... so much activity on here while I was off in la la land!!

Amberlee, I really like Aidyn Denen... very nice!

Sally, you GO girl... So pleased about your E2!!!  
Banana bread with butter!?  ooohh... sounds good!  How about a touch of brandy in that butter??

ooohh... Krista, I'll absolutely have a filet mignon add some brussel sprouts in for me too!!!  Oh for a decent restaurant in this city!  It's just not the same when you have to cook it all yourself and can't find half the ingredients you need in the first place!!!

Savanha, you sound in fine spirits today!!  good to hear.  So is this it for stimming for you?  When's the next step??

Kele, how are you doing hon?

Jena, once again, congrats... and... save me a seat please!!!!!!!!!  In fact, could ya save a whole bunch.  Who's hoping to get on this train now??  Krista, Sam, Miky, Sally and me, right?  Sorry if I've left anyone out!!

[miky72]

Jen congrats on the awesome #!! You are VERY pregnant!! ;-)
Magda I'm with you jumping on the train very soon!!!

[sasparilla]

Ack.. don't forget me.. Im bringing up the rear. All my hormones are starting to kick into high gear from the stims.  All these dern pets are driving me INSANE! Last night I started crying b/c I can't seem to have one second alone without some animal bugging me for food, attention, potty trips..  And my ovaries are killin me already. Maybe it's the lasck of caffeine.

Did EVERYONE quit caffeine all together?  Be honest now, b/c I can't seem to stop it completely.  I am now drinking that Cafe Vienne junk and only putting in 1 tsp. (instead of the 2 tbp.) w/my hot water.  OR drinking 1 cup green tea.  I want a giant Cappucino, dammit!

[kp1212]

Jen-CONGRATULATIONS!!!  That is the highest initial beta I have seen!  Mutiples?  Great news!!!  :-)

I am DYING to POAS.  I woke up this morning feeling un-pregnant, but went to bed last night sure I was pregnant. I had a dream last night that I dropped a raw egg and broke it, and I was sure this morning when I woke that was a bad sign.   This is quite an emotional rollercoaster.  Ugh.  Hormones.

Beta tomorrow!!!  How am I ever going to make it through today, much less tomorrow???

[kp1212]

I'm weak...I POAS'd.  Negative.  WHY DID I DO THAT?

[blessedmomof3]

sasparilla
I tried to quit caffine cold turkey and couldn't do it. In fact I am now back on it heavily again. So, I feel you sister!

kp1212
Those dreams suck I know. Is it too early to test? Are you having a BETA done? Don't let the HPT get to you too much hun. You know I had a dream once that I was a fish and put my babies in my mouth to save them and accidently swollowed them....LOL.... I was sure that ment that my IVF didn't work, but I was PG. Those dreams seam bad, but they can be good.

[Helen72]

Oh Krista,
I am so very sorry about negative HPT.  I wish I could give you a real hug...

Sally,
I quit caffeine when I started my stims but most ob's will tell you that one cup of coffee is OK.  You mustn't overdo it.

[Asking4aMiracle]

Thanks Magda, we like it, oh and get this my stupid little brother (just turned 21 on saturday, never finished high school, drinks like a freakin fish, smokes, doesnt even have a drivers license yet drives a crotch rocket like he races them, no responsibilities....i can go on)  he got his ex knocked up right, IDIOT!!!! this was before i got pregnant so of course i was a devastated mess!! (i know how you felt sal!!) anyway, so she was due later this month, well she had the baby on the 10th. when he first found out she was prego, he asked me, do you still plan on using the name aidyn? i said yes why, he told me the story and i told him, im using that name, get something else!! they named the boy Cayden......wtf? well im not changing the name that took me forever to find that my hubby liked so oh well i guess, not like we will ever see the child, they arent together, never will be and he wont get custody. sorry so long, i needed a little vent i guess =)

YAY JEN!! thats an amazing number!!!!

Krista, dont get too down!! was fmu? maybe your numbers just werent high enough for that test this morning!! stay positive hun!!!

Sassy, i quit it completely but at this point i am DYING for dr pepper so i read and read and read and then i started drinking it!! just MAKE sure you DO NOT exceed whatever it says is safe!!! i can have up to what would equal 4 cans of dp a day but i make sure i have half of that in a week, and only drink it when i CANNOT get the craving to go away! i am SO SICK and tired of clear soda, i dont think i will EVER drink it again!! Good luck!!!! also, how old are those kitties now? are they eating on their own yet? almost time to find new homes? at least you can get rid of two of the buggers!!

afm, my uncle surprised me last night and called to say he was in town, what am i doing today? so hes going to come pick me up, oh yay!! well, free lunch i guess hahahaha and hes taking me to the outlets...maybe a little shopping? we shall see!!

you all that i didnt mention, hope life is treating you well today and tomorrow and forever of course, best be more good news when i get back here today!! =) LOVE!!!

[miky72]

Krista,I'm so sorry about the negative HPT.Which brand did you use?maybe your levels are still too low to detect.

Sally:I  quit caffeine since I started IVF BUT I do drink Decaf coffee (I try not to overdo it too since it has  still some caffeine)I tried to give up chocolate but I was so miserable that I started again and I DO overdo it sometime!

[magda_s]

Oh Krista, I am so truly and deeply sorry.  But I'm not giving up on you yet.  I hope, like Miky said, that your levels are just too low.

Sally, can't help you with the caffeine thing... I used to drink about 2 - 3 litres of diet coke every day and smoked about a pack a day and I quit both before diving into the ttc pool... sorry... gloating just a wee bit here but I still can't quite come to terms with the fact that I've actually quit drinking coke, let alone smoking!!
However, I keep figuring, it can';t be THAT bad to have a little.  I mean, we all turned out okay (kinda) and how many of our parents knew caffeine was bad??

Funny story... way back when I was in uni and drinking about 4L per day, I was walking out of a class with a friend and had a coke in hand and she asks how many THAT is for the day so far.  And I reply, in a loud voice, because the corridor is FULL of people rushing back and forth: "I know!! I HAVE to quit this coke habit of mine.  It's getting WAY too expensive!"  
I meant it literally but didn't realise how it might come across to people who didn't know I was referring to the drink in my hand that was running me about $15 per day!

[blessedmomof3]

Asking
Some people are so inconsiderate. My sis knew I liked the name Tristan for a boy and named her boy Tristan. I thought about still using that name, but DH realy likes Byran. Don't change your name.

magda
that's a funny story about the Coke. When I was PG w/ my son I craved Pepsi like mad. never liked it before. I was drinking 3 2lts a day. I was on bed rest and walked 2 blocks because I had to have it. Anyway, funny story. The baby was born and I was in the room w/ him and he would not stop crying. I tried feeding him and changing him and everything. Everyone was there when sis walked in and popped a can of Pepsi. I S**T you not, he looked directly at the can and stopped crying. My sis said it was a good thing it was Pepsi or we would of had to say he was born addicted to COKE....LOL. He hates soda now.

[Juana824]

Hello all...just dropping in quickly.

Krista, maybe you are testing too soon. Let's just wait for beta before losing hope! Still praying for you!

AFM, Have D&C scheduled for Thursday. I guess I will finally have some closure.

Talk to you all later.
XOXO
Tijuana

[Jen7900]

Juana - I will be thinking about you all day on Thursday and hope that your procedure is quick and painless. Unfortunately I have been in your shoes before. I am always here for you siSTAR!

Krista, I'm not giving up home for you yet...there's lots of empty seats on this train! I met a gal at the RE office who tested NEG on the urine test and b/w came out positive! And i've heard a number of stories like that. Hang in there. Tomorrow is only hours away now!

All Aboard....

[blessedmomof3]

Jauna
I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but as you said, at least you will finaly have closure. I'm sorry hun, I will keep you in my prayers.

[alaskacouple]

Tijuana - like Jen, I will be thinking of you on Thursday, sending lots of Hugs and prayers and well wishes for a speedy and painless recovery.... We Love You!!!  

Krista - hpts are evil..... don't give up yet... :-))  

Amberlee - I don't share my names with anyone anymore!  My cousin took the name we wanted (granted we are still going to use it as she is 3000 miles away) but it still ticked me off! How Rude of some people!!  They just lack the creativity to think of something of their own..... deadbeats~!!

Jen - again congrats!!! Oh Oh... can I blow the horn on the train??? please???

Sal - I quit caffeine (sodas and coffee) but still MUST HAVE CHOCOLATE....granted its not a ton of candy, but I like my small reese's pb cups....

Magda - love that story!!! My dh addiction is diet coke!

I have to say.... we are instructed to limit our caffeine intake....but yet I see these heffers who are preggo and drinking several mountain dews a day...wtf???  

Now as for dreams..... shhhh don't tell dh.... but is it a bad sign when you are dreaming of having hot passionate s@x with a former boyfriend? I am talking like 20 years ago....!! What a night - I feel great!!!  See what happens when you do ivf and can't BD with dh!!!

[blessedmomof3]

LOL...Alaska

I have dreams about ex's all the time. I don't even like my ex DH and have dreams about him...YUK! As for heffers, I was one of them.....hee hee. It was an adiction (addiction) and actualy caused physical pain when I didn't have my Pepsi. Which is weird because w/ my daughter it made me sick. My son is fine and suffers no effects from it though. But I know it wasn't good and if I got PG again I would do everything to try to stay away from caffine. I didn't realy crave it until about my 7th month though. WEIRD.

[miky72]

Sam,
I have sometimes dreams like that..I guess its all the hormones and the "no s@x policy" of IVF.
It just makes us CRAZY!!!

[kele1129]

Hey everyone...I am still crampy and sore but the bleeding has stopped. I am just taking it really easy and haven't been doing much besides going school and staying in bed/couch.

I have lots to cach up on as for post reading but have to get to class soon so I will catch up later but to all my sisters (((((((hugs)))))))) and tons of RSSBD!

Jen-CONGRATS!

[alaskacouple]

the problem is I have been known to talk in my sleep..... oh my poor DH... I sure hope I am not hollering anyones' name!!!
hmmmm.... maybe that is why he was in a grumpy mood the other morning..... uh oh.....

Kele - glad to hear the bleeding has stopped... take it easy gf! Or AGP will come down there and duct tape you to the couch..... yeah we Alaskans LOOOOVE duct tape..... "if it won't move and should - use WD40, if it moves and shouldn't - use duct tape"....

[sasparilla]

Krista.... You know I'm sorry about that no-name weird HPT you took.  I still have hope for you, my dear.  The fat lady Sally isn't singing yet.  Love you!

T.. Man.. what **** you are going through.  I hope the D&C is easy on your body and helful to your soul in moving on.


Sam... I too am a "talker" and believe me when I say that DH was none too happy to hear me talking about BILL one night.. seems we were having a grand old time! And I am SOOOOOOO horny during the IVF TWW.  All those hormones drive me bonkers!

Kele.. So glad to hear you are doing better.  Please rest up and take care of yourself.

Miky.. When is your transfer?? Did you say and I didn't see it?


Magda.. OMG, just a few days and you'll be PUPO!! Yippee

[Savanha]

Tij: Praying that although you have to go through the procedure, that it will bring closure & peace. When I had my 2 mc's, initially I didn't want to go through the mental/emotional of d&c, but must admit that once completed, I did feel a sense of closure. I'm here if you need me. Hang in lady...will be thinking about you on Thurs.

Kriss: I hope that tomorrow brings you different results. As someone above stated, lots of stories when hpts were done...neg, then beta test come back pos. Although I know it isn't easy...hang on...I'll be thinking about you tomorrow.

Jen: Congrats on your beta nums.

Kele: Glad to hear the spotting has stopped.

Jena: Thank you for that Great recipe. ;o)

Magda: Funny story lady. Everything going well & looking good for FET right?

Sal: Sounds like your follies are doing well...keep up the good work.

Miky: Not long now.

Me: I'm going in for u/s & b/w...will post updates. Magda: Still stimming & hanging in... Today is stim day #6.

Savanha~~

[blessedmomof3]

kele
So glad to hear the bleeding has stopped

Savanah
good luck tomorrow


I'm jsut kinda hanging out. Have migraines on and off today. It usualy starts right before AF, so I know she is coming soon. Then, let the games begin!!!!

Anyway, I 'm off to bed to try and get rid of this migraine.

Love to all

[magda_s]

Thank goodness, I'm not the one who talks in my sleep.  But when we first hooked up, shortly after coming to Syria (seperately), DH was drinking some locally made gin which was essentially engine fuel and was talking up a storm.  Scared the hell out of me because he'd actually nod off in the middle of a conversation and then come out with some seriously weird s*h*i*t.  Luckily it wasn't about other women but rather about work!!  (those were some pretty stressful times for both of us on the work/life fronts!!)

Kele, glad you're doing better!!

Savanha!  I didn't know you were capable of just writing a plain old straight forward post... almost fell off my chair and had to check that I'd read the poster name right!!! LOL
Can't wait to hear the results of your check up.

Krista, thinking of you and hoping today turns your world around in a positive way (no pun intended there!!)

Sal, "PUPO"??  New one for me!

As for me... ok... just realised that my embies are being thawed after tomorrow and transfer is the next day.  Now I'm starting to freak.  It's been a long time since the last one and all of a sudden, here I am.  'Course it didn't feel all that sudden through each day that has passed since the last time... but NOW it does.
And now I'm a bit nervous... my u/s indicated that I wasn't ovulating yet but was close and my b/w showed the correct levels of everything to indicate the time would soon be right and that this Saturday was okay.  But since yesterday I've felt a bit of a pulling pain in my left ovary a couple of times.  ... I am always embarrassed to admit how ignorant I am of what goes on in the female body but does that mean AF is knocking on the door or does it just mean I'm ovulating which is where I SHOULD be at??

[blessedmomof3]

magda
woo hoo Transfer!!!! I always get a pulling when I ovulate. Not everyone is the same, but if that's what the U/S showed then I bet you are.

AFM,
Just got back from the gym and it is 6:28Am here. Man, I must realy want to lose weight for my trip. It is 6 weeks away, and I can't even get excited. I just feel like it was such a mistake to do this and not save the money for my FET. But I also keep telling myself my body realy needed this rest after everything it went through. I hope I can get excited soon, as DH is sad that I'm not, and the kids are not getting very excited and DH thinks it's because of me. Which it probly is. I feel like such a whyner this week, but I know I'm PMSing.

[magda_s]

You know what?  think of it this way... you're stuck with it now... the trip is paid for... so you have no choice but to enjoy.  It's too late to think you should have saved the money so go with it.
And also, try to get it into your head that you DO deserve a break from - and even a reward for - the whole ttc journey.  Who knows, this holiday might be a ttc investment as it might make the next try work because you'll be more relaxed, etc!

[miky72]

Magda:PUPO is "pregnant until proven otherwise" and its basically after the transfer TWW.
If my embryos survive I will have the transfer on Friday soooooo we are going to be in TWW at the same time.
I'm very nervous this time and I know you are too...
This is so hard

[kp1212]

Magda, That sounds like ovulation pain.  No worries sister!

I'M OFF FOR MY BW/BETA!!!  WIll post results between 3-5 CST.

xoxo,

K

[miky72]

KRISTA:
I'm thinking about you and sending tons of good vibes and baby dust.
Love,
Miky

[magda_s]

Miky... thanks for the definition...
My transfer SHOULD (fingers, toes and everything else crossed) on Saturday so yup... we're pretty damned close.

Krista, got it all crossed for ya!!

[Asking4aMiracle]

KRISTA, its all crossed for you sweety!! rssssssbd for you hun!!!!

[Helen72]

Krista,
I am hoping for some good news!!!!

[alaskacouple]

Krista -- keeping everything crossed!!!  Sprinkling RSBBD!!!

[alaskacouple]

Morning my sisters!
Well just a short post...and then a funny story about dh grandpa... :-))

I feel 'unpregnant' today. No back ache, no cramps, boobs aren't as sore.... I feel "full" down there, like AF is around the corner, and have some nausea..... hmph....

As for dh grandfather...(some of you now that my husband is a police officer).... and you need to know that grandpa has alzheimers (think I forgot to mention that).... any who.... dh went to visit yesterday while in uniform. Because grandpa had like to 'drink' before... he thought he was in jail!!!  poor grandpa.... He kept saying let me out of here, I want to go home, and the family kept saying you can't go home you have a broken neck, with which he would reply "If I have a broken neck then I should be in a hospital!!!"  
Grandpa is getting better, but has been without his alz. meds now for almost a week, and having a conversation or visiting is very exhausting.... the same conversation over and over and over and over .... and that's AFTER he recognizes us.....  

[magda_s]

Oh Sam... poor man. My BIL's mum has alzheimers and it's just so hideous.  It sounds like his isn't quite as advanced but nonetheless... that the poor man doesn't know if he's in jail or in hospital is just so awful!  But I guess, at least he doesn't understand the gravity of his broken neck... perhaps that's a bit of a blessing.
I hope you all pull through this okay.

[miky72]

Krista....we are waiting...we want to hear good news..come on girl!

[kp1212]

Hi girls,

Wish I had better news, but beta was negative.  Looks like I am riding in the AGP caboose.

Thanks for all the support,

K  :-(

[alaskacouple]

Krista,
Oh sweety... I am sooo sorry
Many hugs coming to you......

{{{ super AGP HUGS }}}

Sam

[Juana824]

Krista, I'm so sorry! I know it will happen for all of us who are waiting soon!!!

Love to you and DH!

Tijuana

[magda_s]

Oh Krista, I am so truly sorry.
I wish you'd had better news too.
What can any of us say at this point that's going to make you feel any better???  I know - not a lot.
Hey... want a break from it all??  Come visit me in Damascus... ya can hardly get a more intense change of scenery without getting in to serious stuff!!!
The offer is genuine for anyone who'd like to take it up but in the meantime, I hope you get through this one quickly and start looking forward to the next bit real soon.
magda

[wanting4#1]

Hi Everyone -

Sorry that I have been MIA - we had no power for awhile and no internet for even longer! I've been trying to get caught up on everything, but it's hard while trying to care for 2 babies and 2 toddlers (home childcare).

I've tried to read and catch up on everybody, but I am sure that I will miss someone...sorry, am trying! :}

Krista, I am so sorry! I hope that you can find something wonderful to do to pamper and spoil yourself! I find that it works for me!

Juana, I am thinking about you and praying that this is over soon (physically, anyway) and that your emotional scars start to heal, as well!

Jen, Congrats! That's a great beta number!!

Miky, keep us posted about the quality of those babies and when the transfer will be! I'll be FedExing Extra-Strength Gorilla Glue for you to use to keep them in, nice and safe! :)

Sam, it's never over 'til it's over!  Keep the faith!

Okay, sorry, but I lost track again!  I'll try my best to stay on top of things now that I am back online!

AFM, if I bring Buffalo Chicken Appetizer Dip and homemade salsa and guacamole, could I get on the train?

I POAS'd this a.m. and got a faint line and now, I'm waiting for my beta results.  I should get them tomorrow a.m.!  Keeping my fingers crossed for a super high number!! :)  Thank you for all the prayers and support! I truly believe that it made all the difference for me!!

[Helen72]

Krista,
I am so very sorry this did not work.  I am grieving with you.
Many hugs to you!

[alaskacouple]

i caved.... POAS  ... neg....

[sasparilla]

Krista.. I am so dam=n sorry!!!    I know how hard you worked to make those eggies.  You should totally have gotten a BFP.  I love you and want you to know I am always here for you!

Sam.. Those dern HPT's.. I still have hope for you.. that stupid test could be totallyt wrong and we both know it.  I still have my fingers, toes, everything crossed for you!!!!

BIG HUGS TO THE AGP CREW!!!!!

[Savanha]

OK...I didn't mean to, but I just made myself super hungry!!!! ;o) Sounds YUM right? ;o) I'm having Salmon & Salad...dang! I did my 6 mile walk today...just in case you REALLY needed to get excited bout something. (ha) RSSSBD to ya Gf. ;o)

Krista: I'm so sorry Gf. I was sooooo hoping for you. I really hate this...I feel what you are feeling...this is the part that I REALLY hate...this whole ttc journey can be so difficult & sad. Take your time babes...we are here for you...I hope things get better soon. xoxoxo (((Big Hugs)))

Sammy: I hope & pray that your beta WILL come back BFP!!! Like the others have said...Heatherjo had neg poas, but pos beta...I pray that your beta results will be just like that. Hang in sweetie as best you can. I guess if I say I hate this one more time...I do, but don't want to be extreme neg. Try to hold on for the beta...same thing happened to my sister & she got bfn hpt...went to lab got bfn poas...told to come back next day for b/w...then she got bfp. The big gurl is just warming up...she hasn't even put on underwear or taken a shower yet. I hope she sings a HIGH NOTE after she gets dressed. ;o)  

Me: Still CRAaaaaaaaaaZY bout MY GurrrrrRRRRRLs!! ;o) Guess this horm-funky fog is letting up a lil' bit. I'm in & out...up & down...feel so BUSTED at times. Anyways...trying to hang in. Continue stims tonight & tomorrow...go in Friday...may trigger that night or next...not sure, then IUI. Still only have 3 measureable (11, 13, 15- all point something)...6 total. Will post update on Friday.

Love ya all...bye for now...I need to handle a lil bizness :)

[Helen72]

FaithNHim,
have fun!!!  You are almost in 2ww.

Savanha,
3 mature follies are perfect for IUI.  Many REs would cancel a cycle if a woman has more than that since that would put you at risk of high order multiples.  I hope your 3 gals are nice and smoking on Friday.

wanting4#1,
your HPT looks really promising.  Hope for a positive beta for you tomorrow!!  Can't wait to hear your update.

[Asking4aMiracle]

when hell breaks loose it really breaks dont it!! i just got a text from mom my saying my sister is supposedly on her way to new york, again. the last time she was on her way there, she was prostituting and going there to be with her 'pimp' who had plans to sell her to some underground sex ring where she would have been killed. needless to say, she was locked up in a boarding school in Utah for a year but was released because they cant keep you past 18 and she just turned 18 in August. im waiting for either of my parents to call to give me the full details but PLEASE pray this doesnt turn out like it almost did last time. the last time they caught her on a greyhound in amarillo texas where she lied about her name and they put her in jail. my dad had to fly out that night from riverside california to bail her out of jail! she was doing so well, i have no idea what happened.

on a some what lighter note, not sure who remembers me talking about finding my cousin but the uncle that is out here, its his daughter. well he just called me and said he is looking at her mother right now down at stateline. she hasnt seen him and he isnt going to say anything. tomorrow evening, me and jason are going to down there with him and go to her appartment that and im going to go see if i can find her. the last time he seen her was 1989, i dont know when the last time i seen her was but i was in diapers. i PRAY that she opens the door and is willing to meet me. my uncle isnt going to go because we dont know if she has been fed this whole time the lies that her mother fed the police and caused all of this in the first place (that he was molesting victoria) which wasnt the case, she didnt want to share custody and this was her way of keeping him away. when it came down to the police found her stories to be fishy and started not making sense, my uncle finally gave up for fear he didnt know how far they would go to make victoria believe how bad of a man he was, when really, i got the deadbeat father that could care less about me.

wow, it really feels good to vent, sorry so long...ill update when i get updated about my sister, as for my cousin, wish me luck!!!

[miky72]

Krista:I'm so sorry.You deserve so much more.

Sorry for the late post. I worked  until 2 this morning. Well it was just what i thought BFN. On to next cycle. Now i have to wait on a/f.

[blessedmomof3]

K, ladies I'm back. Let me try to catch up.

You know Magda, you're right. I'm gonna try to be more positive about this trip. I'm gonna enjoy it. I mean we are going to Jamaica and tour Bob Marley's House. If the FET does work, it might be the last trip we take for a long time.

Magda,
SATURDAY!!!! Big Day!!! I will be thinking of you and sending good vibes.

miky
Tomrrow is the bog day. I will think loads of good thoughts for you!!!


Aslaska
Don't read too much into the way you feel. AS I have learned when you least feel it, it will happen. As for poor Grandpa, are they going to do anything for his neck at all???

Krista
I am so so sorry. That realy stinks.

Savanah
Realy you know, it only takes one so 3 is GREAT! And I'll drink loads of RUM for you =)

FAITH
Godo luck this month. I'm CD2, so in about 2 weeks I will be BD.

WOW ASking

Jauna

evie

[alaskacouple]

Morning y'all.... how are my sisters doing this frigid am?  
fyi.... it was 38 on my way to work this morning..... WiNtEr is around the corner for us...

Tijuana - thinking of you today.... praying for a speedy recovery.... lots of prayers, hugs, and good vibes coming your way for you and dh...

Evie - I am so sorry....

Magda - Saturday is getting closer :-)  Here's to you and your frozen angels!

Amberlee - praying all turns out ok. Be safe, and be careful....!!!

Savanha - as always...love your posts! Anything we can do to help lift that funky fog? How about some yellow snow?  :-))

Faithn - have fun bd'ing!  Ahhh the good ole' days .....

Hoping - YES! Enjoy your trip! Take advantage of the full relaxation and enjoy your family!  Drink and be merry!

Helen - thank you so much. You are a sweetie!!

Sal - how them kitties doing?

Speaking of trips..... anyone hear of how Nicole Kidman supposedly became pregnant? She swam in some 'fertility pond/waterfall' while on a shoot in Australia. According to the article, 6 women who swam there all became preggo..... Anyone up for a trip to Australia?

Thank you all for your encouraging notes! I hope y'all are right and it was just too soon, .... that being said, I went to bed last night with a bad headache, and it turned into a migraine about midnight.... I asked dh to get me an icepack and the sweetheart actually got out of our nice warm bed, trecked to the cold kitchen, grabbed the pack, and a towel to wrap it in, and placed it on my head for me....what a guy (I think he's a keeper).....
then..... about 4am, got the most horrible cramps I have had during TWW. Just a sharp stabbing pain. (this was of course after another ummm dream that did not include dh, and again, this time woke up with a smile on my face - if you know what I mean!)

Sitting here at my desk at work, I am still a little crampy, head still hurts, boobs are little sore, and still a little nauseas..... I hate this tww with extra hormones on board.....

[GUESITO]

LMAO  :)

[Glenda306]

Juana, I hope you recover quickly.  For me, the physical part of the D&C wasn't too bad, but emotionally it took me a long time to recover.

Patrice, welcome.  I never took any of those hormones, etc., so I can't help with your questions, but I'm sure someone can.

[alaskacouple]

afternnoon all....

well just spoke with nurse, and we have no frozen blasts from this cycle. Makes me wonder if my RE was to ill to pay attention to them and just 'forgot'.....

[blessedmomof3]

Oh alaska, I'm sorry. But it sounds like you may not be needing them anyway. Headaches are suposed to be a good signs ya know.


The craziest thing happened to me today. It was like out of a horror movie. I went to work today and when I got there I rolled all my windows down to let the truck air out while I was working, and opened the hatch to get my stuff out. I went in and put my purse on the counter and when I went back out to get my stuff, the truck was full of bees. Loads of them!!!!! Now, I'm allergic so I ran inside and grabbed my client. She came out and started screaming that she had never seen anything like that and she had not seen a single bee all year. Then she told me to close the hatch to see if they go out the windows. When I did, the back window was solid full of bees. Of coarse my client started screaming again "Where are they all coming from???" Well, I went in the hosue w/ her and started working, using her supplies. When I was done I went out to check, and sure enough they were gone. Not a sign of them. WTF??? Creapy. Are bees a sign of fertility or something??? Just wondering...hee hee

[alaskacouple]

oooohhh... literal translation of the birds and the bees huh?

that is kind of weird..... maybe a sign of something :o) Hopefully a lot of babies and not "armegeddon"

:-))

[magda_s]

Savanha... good to have your old self back!!  And glad you liked my stories.  speaking of which, there's a middle eastern drink called Arak which is a bit like pastis.  DH was drinking the locally made one of that until we found out that if it isn't made quite right, it can be poisonous!!!  He stopped buying it pretty rapid after that!!!

Hoping... hon... you're going to Jamaica!!!  Be HAPPY!  Chill.  Enjoy it.  Like you say... might be a while before your next vacation!!

Tj... the trip from door to door including layovers etc, is anywhere form about 19 hours to 30 depending on the airline.  But if you fly Emirates you have to overnight in Dubai and they put you up in a hotel so you get a free shopping side trip!!!!!!!!!!!  LOL

Amberlee, wishing you all the best with your cousin and I hope your family is able to help your sister... so sorry about that.  It can't be easy on any of you.

Sam, so sorry about the frozen blasts... but were you expecting you DID have some?  I mean, did they tell you you did or you might?  If so... WTF?????

Evie... I'm so sorry!

Krista?  How are you doing hon??

Sal... where is ya at??

Me?... been trying to go to bed for the last 45 minutes or so but haven't made it yet!! Now I am GOING to bed!!!

hugs to all

[blessedmomof3]

LOL.... realy.
It would have been real creapy if there had been birds singing in the back ground at the same time....LOL

Hello ladies!!

I am feeling 110% better!!! Thanks for all of the PRAYERS, THOUGHTS AND WELL WISHES!!! (Savanah, I will send you some cocoa butter mixed with RSSSSBD for your knees **wink**)

My D&C went well. I have had a little pain, nothing compared to the past few days. I can now begin to heal emotionally. I have you all to thank for that.

I love you all and can't wait to get back to the swing of things!!!

Talk to you all later!!!
