[magda_s]

Savanha,  I just read your post on the last thread and I'd really like a little bit of whatever it is you're on!!!  Put a bit of THAT into the mix and we'll ALL be sporting quads in the next few weeks!!!

Ladies, I hope you're all doing great.  I'm still feeling a touch out of whack.  I know I need to be happy that that a**hole didn't kill my embies but I just can't believe he did this to me.  But hey, I'll get over it.  And in the meantime, I'll just ride on the tail of Savanha's manic energy!!!

[sasparilla]

Hey Ladies!

Savahna, Thanks for starting the new thread.. luv you!!

Magda, Im sure you're still in shock about your stupid RE, but I'm thinking all kinds of good thoughts for you.  Will you be trying for the FET next month then???

AFM, I'm cycle day 13, no surge yet.  I hope I O soon, b/c the sooner I O the sooner I can start my IVF!  :)

[kele1129]

Damn Savanah...you are the nuttiest nut I know! In all the good ways of course ^_^

Juana-I hope I get to find out how many babes you got going there before we leave for the weekend.....

I am off to school to get a new ID and then off to work...only 2 more days.....

[magda_s]

Sal, you know what?  I am absolutely still in shock but just a couple of minutes ago, I was overcome with this almost giddy sense of positivity... And that's really the best way I can describe it.  And no, I haven't injested anything in any way, shape or form!
And this is one gift horse I ain't lookin into the mouth of!!
I wondered if someone had slipped me some Extasy but then I realised I still woiuldn't pass up the opportunity to do some serious short-term harm to my doctor so I guess not!
And in answer to your question, yes, I am planning on doing FET next month but depending on what goes down on Saturday when DH and I go see buddy boy, I don't know if it'll be here or Beirut.  probably here because despite how I feel about his screw up and the appaling way in which he handled it, I still think he's good at what he does and I DO still have my embies with him...
Hey... I guess that means we could end up cycling together again!

[Juana824]

Good morning...chat later...lots of work to do before I go on vacation...can't wait!!!

[evie23]

Well i sholud be starting af today no symptoms, which i always have starting a week before. no pregnancy symptoms either. I am always regular as clockwork. I am eagerly awaiting af and now she wants to play games. I wrote my work schedule to coincide with my cycle and now she is throwing everything off i'm pissed!!!!

[alaskacouple]

morning all... just a short note as to weepy to stay....

had u/s this am..... even on 28 days of b/c I had 5 follies (small yes) but up to RE if my cycle will be cancelled - he is waiting on lab results.....

also.... endo is back.....

will write more this afternoon after I know what the he!! is going on....

[alaskacouple]

AND i get to work.... another coworker is PO'ed because her daughter is pregnant with their 3rd, and neither daughter nor husband are currently working..... they are not happy ......  

can my day get any fuc*ing better?

[sasparilla]

Oh Sam.. Im sorry.. that *****!!!  Are you having any pain from the endo?  After talking to my RE, we figured that mine is back also, and it wasn't a cyst, wasn't O pain, just endo pain.. yuck..
And you know my opinion of losers having babies!  You should watch the first 10 minutes of a movie called "Idiocracy".. its very funny, and true!  
I will chant away your small follies.. ummmmmmmmmm ummmmmmmmmmmmm

Evie.. Ain't AF a b=it=ch!!??? Hopefully she will come and work with you.

[alaskacouple]

to all....

my RE's nurse just called..... all is okay and we have been given the green light.....
STUPID u/s tech.... getting me all worked up!!!!

nurse said follies are small enough that they are practically nothing, and yes, have endometrioma on left side, but is small enough not to worry, and they will keep watching it (and that it has been on previous u/s - no one ever told me!!! )

So, last day of pill was yesterday.... and still have AF (which started last Friday) but has now gone from clumpy brown to bright red (yeah I know, tmi)..... but if AF picks up today, then start shots tomorrow..... or if she doesn't then start shots on Saturday.

Also, instead of Medrol, my DR. gave me prednisone????

[alaskacouple]

To All my sistas!!

thank you for your notes and prayers... they seemed to have worked!

Oh and guess what.... the pharmacy just called me (literally just got off the phone) apparently I was suppose to get PREDNISYLONE not prednisone.....

like I said...... my day...... I need another drink now.....

[Savanha]

OMG...Sammmmmmmmmmm! Ok...Ok...I Do feel much better now that I have seen this. Ok...I was definitely a CRYING somebody...like I said...it all just became one HUGE Blob!!! ;o) Alright...we are STILL in the LINE up for next month. OooooooWE...maybe that was a sign...you know...the follies...getting ready for the BIG DAY. YaY...I can't help it...it all excites me. ;o) ((((((((((((((HUGSSSSS)))))))))))) RsssssssssssBDW/K's (ok...ladies...we don't have to include this...it's just my crazy moment, but it is...Really Super-Sticky (to the 100th power) Babydust with Kisses. (ha) Yes...I am officially on a Potato Chip HIGH!!! CAn't eat JuSt OnE. ;o)

[Savanha]

Magda: Gurrrrrrrrrl...I'm going to mail this sandwhich bag off to you right? All you have to do when you get it, is InHale deeply the contents in said bag, then you'll be straight CraZy...like me! ;o) Glad to see you are sounding better & that you are going forward with FET for next month. I ALREADY KnOW you are going to be All over HomeTeam like a Bee on Honey...we know he ain't honey, but if he doesn't know, he ought to ask somebody though that you will StiNg the he** outta his slow A** self if he or his staff mess up AGAIN. ;o)

(((((((HUgs)))))))

Savanha~~

[magda_s]

Sam, So happy for you... Stupid tech sounds about as bad as my stupid f***ing doctor!!!
Sorry he put you through that but glad to hear all's a go!!

Savanha, thanks for the sandwich... I'm sure it'll make me feel better but there ain't no way on God's Green earth that it's going to have the same effect on me as it does on you.  You got some special thing going on with that there sandwich spread!!  I don't know where you find the energy but you go girl!

[Juana824]

Good mornng Cyber Sisters!

HAPPY FRIDAY..I hope

I will hit you up as soon as I get the results from u/s...

Much love...

Juana

[kp1212]

Morning ladies!!!

magda, I am still seething on your behalf!  It is just soooo wrong.  But, you (we) will pull through--we always do!

Juana, do I need to come over to the clinic and hold you up so you don't faint when you get that US???  Twins?  Trips?  WOW!  THere was a news article recently that a woman put in ONE embryo (via IVF) and it split TWICE so she had TRIPLETS!!!  OMG!  Dang!  Is DH going to the appt with you?  If not, I should be his fill-in!  :-)

Sam, Scary news, then good news!  I take the good news.  You are on your way!  Kele will send you a little extra of her special RSSBD and BAM!  You got yourself a baby!

Amberlee, I sent you a message already, but I am really thinking about you and Jason and hoping things work out...

Sal, WORD!  

Savanha, ahhhhh wacky Savanha...you are a breath of fresh air laced with some good drugs!  I love you girl!

Evie, keep us posted!

AFM...I am continuining my stims, and go back tomorrow for another BW/US appt.  Still keeping my fingers crossed that lightning strikes...

xoxo!

[sasparilla]

Morning everyone..
I have a pro football hangover.. too much salt and beer.. yuck

Krista.. I am telling you.. just keep on keeping on!  As of this morning you have only stimmed for 6 frikkin days.. That RE needs to pull his head out of his butt!


Sam.. Yipeeeeee.. you go girl!  Great news!

Amberlee.. I am so sorry about what is going on.. you don't need more stress.  

Juana.. Betas are such weird things, I have seen many singletons with much higher numbers and twins with lower numbers.  But I think trips would be super super high.  Hope you have a great U/S with no stress.  Can't wait to hear the results!


Savahna.. Where are you in your cycle???  You so silly!

Magda.. You are more than welcome to use my RE.. he's pretty cool, and not too hard to push around .


Miky.. Hows the Lupron??? We are getting close!!! Yah!!!

Helen.. Are you still so excited about your GIRL??? Such wonderful news!


Jen & Hether... Hi ladies.. miss you!


Kele.. How are those headaches?  For some reason I've had terrible ones for the last few days also.  Ick.


Well, thank goodness our new 60" plasma is up, b/c I would be totally unfulfilled as a human being if DH hadn't bought that thing! LOL  Sheesh.. men.  And here I am wanting a new kitchen really bad, but nooooo.. we have to buy things like TVs and stereo's for our new cars.. waa waaaaaa boo hoooo..LOL


Oh, the hematologist was supposed to call me last night with my B/W from last week, but of course he didn't.  He tested more clotting things and a full thyroid panel (that lovely man just refuses to beleive I got fat all on my own.. LOVE him).  I need the results before I start on my IVF cycle.  

And HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND to everyone!!!!!

Love y'all!

[alaskacouple]

ok girls..... I now need a minnie vacation after yesterday and last night.....

I am so freeking tired at work right now.....

I left early yesterday after my stressful morning and crying to dh, I had given myself a headache and by 3 it was killing me - so I went home to nap.
Dh came home from work and was not feeling well either....guess I gave him a headache too (poor thing)
So, we were in bed by 9:30....... Devil dog decided yesterday was the day to get the
sh!ts..... so.... between 3:30 and the time we went to bed, I had let her out at least 3x an hour. This is not an easy task, as it has been raining here ALOT, and she has proceeded to make a 'mud track' near the stairs...so everytime she comes in her feet have to be cleaned (big a$$ husky paws track in everything!).... so anyway....we went to bed, and of course about every hour she was asking to go out NOW! DH did the duty and got up to let her out (he has today off so he can sleep in).....
then DH reflux kicked in last night so he was coughing and clearing his throat all friggin night!!!  We had our bedroom window open last night and the rain poured down, so I also could hear the steady constant drip of a puddle outside our window.....
the little puppy sleeps with us, and because I had closed the window she snored louder!
so.... my noises last night (which were NOT white noise) was
1. a husky panting and whining
2. a dh snoring, coughing, and clearing
3. drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
4. a dog snoring....

I have enough baggage under my eyes today to take the entire train all the way to Italy for at least a couple of weeks.....

LOL sistas!

Sammy

[kp1212]

ROFL Sam!!!
That is quite a vision!

Well, I ordered more gonalF today (I will now have 6 boxes of 900 units of the magic liquid). My labor day weekend will be spent stimming. Just hoping the ovaries aren't on vacation this weekend!

Tijuana...WELL?!???

[alaskacouple]

Tijuana - where u beeeee gf?

you keeping us in suspense again?

LOL!!!

[Glenda306]

Juana--we're all holding our breath....

I didn't schedule my appt until NEXT Friday.  I'll be 7w1d by then.  Can't wait, but afraid to go all at the same time.

[alaskacouple]

everyone already take off for the weekend?

[magda_s]

Sam, the visual was brilliant but I'm sorry you had such a rough night of it!!  Did you say "puppy"???

Tj - WHERE are you???

Savanhas, as always, my head is spinning after reading your post... but in a good way of course!

Krista, hope that GonalF works a little miracle (or two?) for ya!

Sally, have you gotten yourself any sleep today???  

I'm off to get myself some as it's 11pm here and I'm surprisingly shattered.  Have done nothing but study all day but am really wrecked.
Seriously thinking of packing in the job.  Just can't be bothered anymore.  And the studying takes up too much time and frankly I'm just no good at doing both.
Anyway, this is a bottle of wine talking right now so I may feel differently in the morning but that's doubtful.

Hugs to you all... hope you all enjoy your long weekend.  Here I am just getting the week started and you guys are starting a long weekend... SO unfair!
Although, it's Ramadan here in a couple of days which means DH will be home from work early for a whole month! Yippeeeeee.... Then again, that means having to contend with the insane screaming banshees that try to pass for human beings when it's time to go home.  A good thing I'll be tucked away safely in my flat.

Uh... ok... think I'm rambling a bit so will go away now.

hugs to all

[Juana824]

HERE I AM!!!

The verdict................................................................................................................................they have only found one gestational(sp?) sac..Still possibility of twins...I have to go back on Tuesday for another ultrasound...Sorry for the long wait...I had a few other stops to make before returning home...

Gotta run..much love to all.. I will chat later!!

[alaskacouple]

Congrats!!!!  

Hope you feel better!

Enjoy a beautiful weekend with dh!!!

[Helen72]

Juana,
congrats!  Glad they found the sack in the right place.  Relax and enjoy your weekend!!

[miky72]

Savanha~~

[Juana824]

What's up Sis-stars!!!

Where is everyone!!

[sasparilla]

Happy Labor Day everyone!!! What's everyone up to?  I'm going Redneck Tubin, then havin a cook-out.. yum.. Pork ribs, grilled corn, bacon & blue cheese potato salad and ice cream!  Yum!

[magda_s]

hee hee... kinda ironic that it's labour day and everyone's probably pigging out when over here is the first day of Ramadan and no-one's eating!!  Although, they'll be pigging out in a HUGE way come sundown.
ooofff... I could go all day without eating but don't think I could survive without water in this frigging heat!!  Don't know how they do it.
Sal... what exactly is Redneck Tubin???  I'm good with the first bit but you lost me on the second.
And how's DH's relationship with the new telly going??

[sasparilla]

LOL Magda, it intertube.. you know when you get in a big tube and go drifting down a river.. its so fun!  DH is a little happier.. he hooked up his OTHER big screen t.v. in the basement so he can play video games.  We have 5 T.v's in the house!  Sheesh.. men.

So, you don't observe Ramadan?  And you can't even have water?  Whoof.. I need my H2o!

[magda_s]

Nope... I'm not Muslim.  But no... they can't have ANYTHING. From sunup to sundown... zilch.  No food, no water, no cigarettes, and no nookie.  No swearing either.
I've tried observing Ramadan a couple of times... just from growing up with it and I kind of liked the ideology and all but I never even bothered considering giving up smokes, swearing or nookie!!  Just the food and drink.  Failed miserably.  But then I guess I wasn't making it easier on myself.  A lot of people will go home and sleep through the hottest part of the day.
Then it's huge food fests and family gatherings (as well as friends of course) at sundown.
It's actually such a social month that many people gain weight during Ramadan.
There's also differences from one country to the next.  Not in terms of the basic principles but like, here, for non-Muslims, nothing really changes.  Whereas growing up in Abu Dhabi, just before Ramadan, everyone would stock up on booze because the liquor stores would close for the month.  All the bars and restaurants would close too but the restaurants could open after sundown.  But they couldn't serve alcohol or play music so no one went!!
The best one I remember was a number of years ago when I was back visiting in Abu Dhabi. Christmas fell smack dab in the middle of Ramadan and I had friends whose dad was an Emirati (from the UAE and so Muslim) and whose mum was Welsh and they followed both religions.  We had Christmas at their place that year with a bunch of people and we all "broke fast" at sun down with the traditional dates and water and then we had turkey with all the trimmings and opened the Chistmas presents that were sitting under the tree!  It was brilliant.

[Savanha]

Sal: Gurrrrrrrrrl...  bacon & blue cheese potato salad ...DAnG this sounds...YUM!!!!(make sure the eyeballs pop on the yum part) ;o) Ooooooowe-we...to the 10th POWER Yum!!! ;o)

Magda: I loved the history/info you shared...so interesting!!! I LOVE it, because most people who are "negative" about other cultures are SO missing out. I love people period & love experiencing new cultures. ;o) Now...although I am not Muslim either, I am practing fasting right now! ;o) I'm doing it for health & "I need to lose about 100 lbs." reasons (ha)...which is why when Sal mentioned that "Delious" sounding potato salad, I thought I'd hurt myself in getting to the kitchen to break this thang. ;o) Sal...you MUst send me the recipe. ;o)

Oh yeah...my fast isn't a fast-fast, I'm actually doing veggie & friut drinks/smoothies, steamed/stir-fried veggies & salads for a week or 2. Then it's back to turkey & fish & other foodies. Yeah...thought I'd share the interesting haps in my life wit ya'll. ;o)

Hope er'body enjoyed the Holiday Weekend. ;o)

Me: CD17 and no ovulation as yet...guess since last cycle was a 33/34 dayer, I'll ovulate a lil' later, but the line is still lt. purple. Alright ladies...smooches...I'll check in laters.

Savanha~~

[Savanha]

Where in the Hamsamich is Er'body? Well...Happy Tuesday to ya...I guess I'll check in later. ;o)

Savanha~

[Juana824]

Hello everyone... My appointment didn't go as well as I would have liked. My gestational sac is present, but there is no fetal pole...We are hoping that they are just scanning to early. We have to go back next tuesday. I have read a few posts where the embroy was a "late bloomer" so to speak. I am holding on to my faith...Please pray for me and DH.

[alaskacouple]

Good morning all!

T - I am sure you are just a little too early. I am sending thoughts and prayers your way! Love to you sista!!!


afm - update...  started stimming on 8/30.... and have found the most wonderful thing....did you know that they made alcohol swabs with a numbing agent in them? Best damn invention sinced sliced bread!!!
Next u/s is 9/5.....

[Savanha]

Tijuana: I pray that all will be well with you babes. Sending PM. ;o)

Sammy: I didn't know you were already stimming. Go chicky-baby. ;o) Here's hoping this is IT babes. ;o)

Savanha~

[Juana824]

Thanks ladies.

[Helen72]

Juana,
how far along are you?  My first u/s at 5wk 4d showed no fetal pole either, just an empty gestational sack.  This is why most obs will not schedule the first u/s till 7 weeks.  

[evie23]

i will  keep you in my prayer i am sure everything is ok just a little early. on another note i believe i saw you at the clinic today. i was telling my husband that this lady looked like your profile and then they called your name and i was pretty sure then they called mine so i didn't get another look.

[kele1129]

Juana-We saw nothing but the sac on our first u/s as well and that was at 6 weeks. By 7 weeks we saw a happy little blob. So don't panic, you are pregnant.

Sam-What are those swabs called? I would've loved those!

Wow it was a quiet weekend here huh? I was expecting a whole new post by the time I got home. Maine was nice but seeing my grandmother was wonderful! She is so excited to be a great grandmother. Speaking of we had an appointment today and heard the heartbeat again. It was pumping away at around 155 bpm. On the 29th we hopefully find out the sex....*crosses fingers*

School started today which was nice. I hope that I picked some good classes. Had life span developement this morning and astronomy tonight. Tomorrow is child developement.  Then I have movement therapy and painting on mondays...whoo hoo 4 day weekends!

Well I am going down for a nap before my next class. Talk to you sisters later.

[Juana824]

Hi Helen, I am 6wks 1 day according to the u/s tech.

[Juana824]

Thank you all for your notes and advice. I will just wait for the next appointment and try not to stress over it. I really love you guys. I was so upset when I left the doctor and so was DH. The first thing he said was to log on to your blog and talk to your friends..He knows that you guys always make me feel better. Thanks again...YOU LADIES ARE THE BEST!!

Evie,  I told my husband that I thought that was you...LOL..I was afraid to ask...how did your appointment go today?

Next time I will speak up!!!

[evie23]

my appt went very quickly I got there at 8 had my ultrasound. then my bloodwork by 830 i was back in the car. I am waiting on the nurse to call with my results.

[ascott]

Please to all: I went in for my 2nd beta today. My first was friday, 289, today 532. I am in tears right now. The nurse said I'm still early, 4wks and 6 days,  but I know how that goes. I have gone through this so many times before. They want me to go back in on Friday for more testing but what is the use. I already know what is happening. Please pray for us, I don't think I can do this again. I am tired and emotional worn out.

[Glenda306]

Juana, it probably is just too early--my dr said 6-8 wks.  I'm not going for my appt until Friday.  You're in my prayers.

[Latrice414]

I will keep you in my prayers juana.

I have a question, what is the purpose of the fetal pole and is it there threwout the pregnancy n what does it mean if it's not there

[kele1129]

Compliments of Wikipedia:
The fetal pole is a thickening on the margin of the yolk sac of a fetus during pregnancy. It is usually identified at 6.5 weeks with abdominal ultrasound imaging, and 6 weeks with vaginal ultrasound imaging. However it is quite normal for the fetal pole to not be visible until about 8 weeks. The fetal pole may be seen at 2-4 mm crown-rump length (CRL), and heart motion is often detected when it is seen. In the embryo, the heartbeat is seen as a regular flutter, which should be first evident at 5 mm CRL. If the embryo is less than 5 mm CRL, it is possible for it to be healthy without showing a heartbeat, though a follow up study in 5-7 days will almost always demonstrate the heartbeat.

Tijuana, Hang in there lady!  It looks like you are very much still in a good spot, even though you didn't see what you wanted at your appt.  NO STRESS!!  (ha-easy for me to say)  We are all here for you!

Ascott, I just read your other thread...I don't know what to say.  This ttc journey is often times so wrought with disappointment.  I know how you feel working with drug-exposed babies/mothers (I do as well).  How does it happen that those of us who want so badly to be a good loving mother have all these problems, but the crack head who's kids are all in child custody services and foster homes has 8 or 9?  I left my appts last week in tears (I am currently in an IVF cycle that is not going well).  Best advice I can give you is to hang on to those you love around you right now.  Wish I could do or say something better...

GO SAMMM!!!  I'm still holding out hope that this cycle turns around and I get a BFP, with you next on the list!

Sal, Word to your motha.  Had a dream last night that we were in college together and were roommates in a sorority!  We were both dressed to kill in fishnet stockings and killer boots and went to a party and then shopping.  Needless to say, we had a good time!!  

Sav-shout out to ya gally goo!

off to my monitor appointment...WISH ME LUCK (you know I need it)!!!!

[sasparilla]

Krista.. I hope I was my old, thin self in your dream!  Did we have an awesome time or what?  I had a dream last night that one of the tattoo artists at one of DH's shops was secretly gay and kept a male sex slave in a secret room in his house.  I have NO IDEA where that came from!!!  Good luck on your appt.  Im glad you're starting to feel bloated and yucky.. thats a food thing!!!

Kele.. What is up with your leg cramps?  Are those new??  Maybe if you massaged them (or better yet, made DH do it)?  Hope they go away soon.

Ascott.. Maybe you had a vanishing twin in there.. could be... I am pryaing you had a sticky little bean in there!


Juana.. Please don't fret.. I think your U/S was too early.  Ive sen so many women ask the same question when they give such early U/S's.  Super groovey positive vibes coming your way!


Sam... How goes the stimming?? How was your first monitoring appt?? Details!!!!!!


Savahna.. The potato salad recipe is NOT diet..LOL, but I guess you figured that out.  And its sooo good after its been sittin in the fridge for a day or two.  And where in the hamsammich (LOL, love your term) is O??? My goodness.. come on eggie.. Savanha needs you go pop out already!

Evie.. What type of cycle are you on?  I don't know your details.

Miky.. You getting excited??? I know I am.  Who knew I would get so excited to inject myself in the stomach with drugs?? weird, I know.

Amberlee, Glenda, and Helen.. Hope all is well in baby land  :)


Hmm.. I spoke with my hematologist and my RE and neither of them will put me on Levonox.  They both agree that since my homocystein levels are normal, that I will be okay.  Im really not sure that I agree, but I am tired of getting poked by all these Doctors, so Im going to rely on their judgement (this one time!)  And I am ignoring the Lupus thing completely.  I have NO symptoms, so F*** it!  I cancelled my stupid appt. with the Rheumotologist b/c I do NOT have Rheumatoid Arthritis.. in fact, I have no arthritis and never did.  Soo.. all in all, the blood tests mean absof=u=kinglutely NOTHING.  What a waste of time.

Oh, and I broke my toe last night.  Don't ask me how.. all the sudden I was like "Hey.. my toe hurts" and then in the middle of the night it was throbbing and by this morning it was huge and I can't bend it (the long toe next to the big toe).  So now I'm all gimped up for no reason.. weird!

Hope everyone has a super duper pooper scooper awesome day!

[kp1212]

Hi all,

I am back from my appt.  My ovaries are FIRED.  They blow.  Ok, I am now on day 11 of heavy stims (not counting the first three days on low dose lupron which apparently was suppose to "jump start" my ovaries--NOT).  I have 3 follicles on the left at 14, 10 and 6.5.  On the right I have ONE at 7.  My lining is ready and waiting for a little embie and is thick at 13.  Don't know E2 (on Monday it was 221 up from 104 on Saturday).  Pretty miserable showing, but we are still plugging forwards.  I have to order more GonalF (and it's sooooo cheap, you know) and have another appt on Friday.  IF I manage to get 3 mature follicles we will do the IVF; if less then 3 they agreed to do IUI.  

Kele-send me 1,000,000 extra doses of that RSSBD please!!!

Also, update on my brother (thanks for all of you who have asked)...he is still in the hospital.  He underwent surgery on Monday to wire his jaw shut due to broken mandible in two places.  He spiked a fever last night so they are keeping in the hospital and doing more tests.  He had more x-rays this morning.  Also, he is being fit for a brace for his foot/ankle as he has a drop foot on the right due to nerve damage.  We are praying that with time and therapy he will get full function.  

I can't remember who asked me what happened, but the short version is that he was driving a Mule (which is an off-road utility vehicle) and he turned a corner too fast and flipped it.  It landed on top of him and pinned him underneath for over an hour.  My poor mom and dad found him on the road (this is back a*s*s KY mind you).  He's pretty messed up (broken nose, cheek, jaw, scapula) plus nerve damage to his foot and a variety of abrasions and gas burns.  He's lucky that he didn't lose his legs, or worse.

Ahhh, when it rains it pours...

Thanks, as usual, for your thoughts.

K

[Juana824]

Oh Krista...I am so sorry about what is happening with your brother. I pray that he will pull through...I am also tossing in 10 buckets of RSDSSSSBD for you...Be still now, we have to make sure it gets EVERYWHERE!! Love ya!!

AFM, trying not to stress too much and just keep talking to my baby(ies) every moment encouraging them to grow for mommy...so does DH.. I have been really sick and finally kept down some saltines and warm ginger ale!!! Yeah for me...you would have thought I was eating a steak or something...LOL...I

Tijuana

[alaskacouple]

MoRnInG LaDiEs!!!

OWIE!!! mother fu#@!!!!  Gave myself a bruise this morning.... inserted needle at an odd angle, thats what I get for being in a hurry.... now my belly hurts in that area...bled like I was dying.... (not really, but felt like it!)

My first appt is tomorrow to check on my ovaries..... they are doing something as my sides are already a little tender....

Sal - hmmm... broken toe huh???  Exactly what kind of playing are you and dh doing? Practicing some WWE moves in your sleep perhaps? Oh wait.... I know..... You actually put a boot up SD rear end....
my dh broke his toe in Mexico (involved too many margaritas and trying to get out of the pool).... the only thing to do is tape it to the next little toe (not the big boy)....

Krista - grow m's .... grow m's.... maybe they will surprise you.... WHAM!! You have just been hit with the mack truck carrying 'special dust' to grow m's....
I also sent you a pm... :-))
Hope your brother heals quickly also.... many hugs to your family! xoxoxo

Savanha - get your package yet?  I want your tater salad recipe.... I LOVE potatoes - any style and would kill for some great tater salad.... haven't had any good stuff in years as my granny took her recipe to the grave!

T - sending you vibes as always! Hang in there gf!!!  You can do it, and all will be ok!

Evie - where u at in cycle?

Helen, Kele, Amberlee - how da babies? Getting the essentials done - nurseries and such? How you all doing?

Well, back to work for me..... will let all know how tomorrow goes... :-))

[magda_s]

Krista, OMG.. I don't even know where to begin.  I'm so sorry.  About your brother, about your ovaries, about everything!
Re your ovaries though... it's not over until the pleasantly plum lady sings and it could still go ahead, right?  So I will be sending prayers your way.


Juanna, I'm sorry your appointment upset you but I'm sure that it's just a matter of time.  Easy for me to say, I know but I promise I'll be sending prayers.

Sally, I'm not saying one way is right or the other but this particular bit of info strikes me as possibly true... It is thought (outside of North America) that North American's are far too gung-ho on tests and invasive procedures, as opposed to the Europeans (or Brits, more specifically) who aren't.  Coming from Canada, after hearing everyone here going on about all these tests, I was practically begging my doc to do them for me and he wouldn't because he said that they mean, as you so succinctly put it, "absof=u=kinglutely NOTHING"
Clearly not the case for everyone but it does make me wonder.

As for me, it's been an interesting last 10 days or so what with the stress of waiting to find out if my embies survived the thaw only to be told, almost an hour later that they're "fine" only because they were never f*u*c*k*i*n*g thawed in the first f*u*c*k*i*n*g place to flying to the neurologist wondering what was going on in my head when I started seeing double to being told that after believing I've had MS for 11 years, it probably isn't MS, to being told something to the effect of "Ah. Guess I was wrong.  Yes, it is MS."
I'm okay with that. I have been truly lucky in that it's very mild but it was a little upsetting to have the MS confirmed when for a while there I couldn't help but be a touch hopeful.  
The only real down side is I have to go on a frigging steroid drip for a 2 to 3 hours per day for 3 days.  I freaked, thinking this would mean no transfer this month either but apparently not.  It seems the steroids will be totally out of my system within a week or two so it'll be fine.  PHEW!!!!!!

I'm sorry I haven't addressed everyone... Miky, Kele, Amberlee, Savanha, Sam, and all the ladies on here who I haven't 'formally met', I hope you are all well but I had best get myself off to the kitchen as I hear my pressure cooker screaming!!!

hugs to all.

[kp1212]

Magda,
Geez!!!  Like I said, when it rains it pours!  I didn't realize you had MS.  Let me get this straight...you were diagnosed 11 years ago, then recently the MD said it wasn't MS, then again confirmed that it was?  WTF?  Like you need to be on another roller coaster.  Sorry for the emotional crud you are dealing with.  What are the steroids for, by the way?  

Much love to you!!  

[magda_s]

I was "diagnosed" (more like told that I most likely have it and to accept that I do) in Canada but I saw a neurologist here a few years ago after my second attack, just for a second opinion.  He said back then that he wasn't convinced it was MS but then I left Syria and never really thought about it again.  In Hong Kong I ended up in hospital ... for what turned out to be just an inner ear infection (talk about the room SPINNING!!!), but they did an MRI to rule out other more serious stuff and told me I had MS.  I already knew.  It just never crossed my mind to tell them!  Then I was visiting DH (before he became DH) in Lebanon and had another weird thing happen to me and we did another MRI and they said it was probably MS.  
So I totally put out of my mind this notion that it might not be.
Now I ended up back at this guy's clinic because of my eyes going all wonky and here he is AGAIN telling me he;s not convinced.  So we did yet another MRI (I'm collecting them from around the world!!) and it turned out that my eyes are indeed wonly due to MS and not an "optical migraine".  Only this time... and I'm not very clear on this as it hasn't happened before but I think... this time, we've caught an attack at a stage that is unusal, being that it is while the scar is forming.  Doing the steroids is supposed to either stop it in mid formation so it doesn't get bigger or some such.  So it's a good thing really.  Just a little freaky.
The worst part is this guy is going to come round tomorrow to hook me up to my IV and is then going to sit in my house for the time it takes my body to suck it all up and he doesn't speak a word of English!  I'm figuring I'll lay down on my bed and let him have the run of the living room because it could be pretty interesting just sitting there and staring at each other for two hours!!!

[Glenda306]

Krista, I'm sorry about your brother.  My BIL and niece were in a motorcycle wreck last month.  My niece is fine, but my BIL shattered his pelvis into 6 pcs.  He was in surgery for 8hrs.  We don't know when he'll be able to go back to work.  Hope your ovaries get scared into action!

Juana, being so sick is a GOOD sign.  I've been living on toast, Cheez-its, and peanut butter since last weekend.  I couldn't even finish a phone call with my DH today for having to go throw-up (1st time for this pg).

[Savanha]

MaaaaaaGDa...Gf...You are something else! I am on the floor Gf. The whole post was very informative & interesting, but the part about you & the tech havin' a stare fest bout has me in tears. ;o)...;@ (that's me laughing so hard you can see my tonsils!!) ;o) That is wild about the MS. though. I'm not sure, but am wondering if the steroids iv might be like taking Medrol (sal, Tij, miky?)...never know...it might help with implantation. Here's hoping that it will be muy beneficial in both areas. So...you'll be doing your FET in 2wks? So hoping that this will be the ONE for ya Magda.

Tijuana: Aaaaaah...you are so welcome...again, my pleasure Gf. Like Glen said...being mega sick-o is a good sign. ;o) I'd gladly down plenty of saltines(hold up...they sound soooo delicious to me right now(day3 of fast) ;o) if I had my BFP already, even though I'm sure it's not a good feeling to be sick. ;o) Grow babies GrOwn. ;o)

SammmmmE-Baby: I gots my Salmon!!!! YaY...I'm too excited, but can't try it for another week, but as soon as I make that recipe...I'ma let ya know bout it. My hubby w/his greedy self already talking about using the juice to make something...nobody sent him anything! ;o) (ha) I'll send you the recipe that Sal sent to me & Krista if she sent one too. I'll be glad to send you mine as well babies. Now...get to those shots & stop rushn'. ;o) Soooooooo excited for ya. THanks again Sammy.

Krista: WOW... I am so praying that your brother will heal well and that he will be able to use his leg w/o problems. I'm still holding on for ya chicky...go eggies. Either way...we have a plan, but hope the one you want works out. Who do you get your GonalF thru? Alright...here's a lil' RSSSBD right here in this lil' sandwhich baggy...now, all you have to do is pinch it up...put it in this paper...roll it...Oooooooooh...forgot...wrong Party! ;o) Here's a pair of Big Gurrrrrrrl Undies (brand new outta the pack...yeah...I said outta the pack) (ha) Full of RSSSSSSBD to the 100th power...put these on...yeah...w/all that dust in em'...lay down...relax & wait for it. ;o) xoxoxo~  

Sals: Gurrrrrrl...you are too funny...I'm still on the Turkey Basting Gf!!! ;o) I'm not going to be dieting at ALL when I partake of that YUM Potato Salad. I'm going to fry some fish when I make it & "get all ugly in the face wit it". (That means I intend to enjoy myself to the FULLEST!) ;o) Not sure bout my Ov date, but I know it's coming soon. ;o) Gurl if you mess around & get BFP before you start stims...I'm driving to Philly so that we can Party...Preggo style...NO Alcohol! I will scream my head off I'll be so happy. ;o) I'm seriously considering that method. Oh...wild dreams...busted toe...Calgon Take me away. (ha)

Miky: You straight? Hope all is well wit ya. Whatcha doing? Oh...wait...you have dh doing those massages(in all the SPECIAL areas) to get you ready for "Shot City" right?! ;o) Go on & let him take care of his woman. (ha)

Amberlee: Raisng the roof for ya Gf, cause I know you want to party with us in the cyber room, but need your rest/sleep. Hope you are relaxing as much as possible & not getting too much nausea. Still hoping something comes through soon. ;o)

Keles: Hope you doing well ma'...congrats on 15 wks. (forgot since I last looked). I forgot about those leg cramp thingys...hope that has stopped. ;o) How ya enjoying the classes?

Alright LayyyyyyyyyyDies...I've got to stay honest & get out here & work out like I told dh I would. ;o) I'm still waiting on ov to drop...thinking it might be tomorrow...line a lil' darker purple. I'll keep ya'll posted.

Smooches...BiG HuGS & LuB to my GurrrrrlZ...

Cheers~
Savanha~~

[kp1212]

Savanha...You have me laughing outloud right now!!!  Bless you!  

xoxo,
Krista

[sasparilla]

Savahna.. You are a nut case!!! Love it!!!


Ok, Here's what I got going, y'all.  
So, I told y'all I was diagnosed with MTHFR.. which I really wanted some Levonox for. and then I was diagnosed with Lupus.. big deal, don't care.  And I cancelled my appt. today with my hematologist b/c he wasn't going to give me Levonox and I left a nasty message with his nurse telling him I would NOT see a rheumotologist b/c I have no symptoms and since he won't give me Levonox, I wasn';t going to see him anymore.  

I mean, what's the point, right?  Welllll... he calls me this evening and reams me a new as=s h=o=le.  He starts telling me how dumb I am and that I'm in "grave danger" of not ever carrying a baby to term, blah blah blah.  Well.. seems like I tested high for ANA's(Anti Nuclear Antibodies).. which is NOT GOOD for fertility.  Leads to reocurring m/c's , etc..  
    It means my body is probably attacking any embryo's that want to transplant in my body.  So, it's not a cool thing, right?  
Long story short, I was scared straight into going to a Rheumatologist and now I have to deal with some serious auto-immune cra=p.    Good lord, this is so irritating.
And like Magda, I will probably be taking a steroid for quite some time.  Grrr.... I just want some frikkin meds that will help me carry a baby to term.  HOW MANY GD DOCTORS DOES IT TAKE TO SCREW IN A LIGHTBULB (OR HELP ME KEEP A BABY).  Ok, sorry for the rant.. im just fed up.

[magda_s]

So let me get this straight... Sam, you sent Savanha a FISH??  In the mail???  hee hee... I think that's classic!

Savanha, what's with the fast?  God... I am SO out of touch!!
But ditto to what Krista and Sal have said... you are one wacky lady and are much loved for it!

Sal... why the steroids?  For the anti-nuclear Antibodies?  Or because of the lupus?  sorry... just confused. but I'm guessing not because of the lupus.  So, what?  Does that actually FIX the antibody problem or does it counteract it while the embies are trying to implant or what?  
So much for me saying the testing is all a load of ****!!!
I'm like a frigging pendulum, one minute I believe my doctors that I really don't need to test for anything and the next i want to go out and do every test known to man.

K... well, I'd best go get my day started as my friendly, neighbourhood, no-English, IV-weilding man will be showing up soon!

[evie23]

I am on cd7 of my cycle we are doing our first cycle of clomid and iui.  I have an appt. on monday to see how many follies i have and to check my estrogen level. I really hope this works because the waiting drives me insane. The reason we are having this done is my dh have some sperm issues and he feel really sad about it. But He is happy that nothing is wrong with me. We had 3 m/c last year and that has me worried alot even if we do get pregnant.

[Juana824]

Hello!! Where is everyone???

[alaskacouple]

I'm here (finally)

Appt went well..... u/s results: 5 follies on left (along with BIG cyst) and 11 on the right, all are measuring between 7 to 9, with the exception of 2..... one on each side is a little over 10.  

Waiting on bloodwork, but so far so good..... my left side is a little sore from the u/s tech poking a little to hard at the cyst area.... stupid wench....

On a grumpier note.... we just had 80 ft. in lenght of cedar fencing put up in our back yard (our neighbor did the same last year) and we wanted to have it done to match. I went and bought the waterproofing/weatherproofing sealent (the same stuff as they used) and started to apply it yesterday..... Well..... let me tell you..... not all sealent is made the same because IT IS NOT THE SAME!!!  Our beautiful golden cedar fence now looks RED!!!  Granted they bought the stuff by the can, and we bought a 5 gallon bucket of the same stuff.....
I sort of like it, but once I started there was no turning back.... dh comes home and looks at the fence and goes WTF?! It is NOT the same (no sh!t)  He asks me if I like it..... well you tell me..... after spending 3 hours brushing on this stuff and getting all the lattice corners and having hands cramps from he!! and fighting the mosquitos and fighting devil dog to not chew up my stir sticks and yelling at the little dog to not roll in the spilled sealer..... DO I LIKE IT?!  At this point it could have been purple and I would have liked it!

[magda_s]

Sam... I can't stop laughing but equally feeling bad for you... but could it be that theirs started out the same and that it tones down with time or something??

So my body has sucked up its first bag of steroids and it was easy peasy.  Didn't feel sick or anything (they said I wouldn't but I was still nervous).  I did very suddenly have a horrid taste in my mouth and this is apparently quite normal and I did get stuck with buddy boy (the nurse) making me stay in the living room with him.  It was a very interesting conversation with him saying something in Arabic to - me that I didn't understand a word of - while pointing at the couch and me speaking to him in English (although he doesn't understand a word of that but because I couldn't think how to say it in Arabic) and pointing at my bedroom door.
He won out.   At first I thought that because it was ramadan he felt uncomfortable coming into my bedroom when it's just us in the flat but afterwards I understood.
Should have clicked when I saw that there was no pole on which to hang the IV bag.
He pinned it to my living room curtain!!!  he wanted me to sit near the curtain.  then he laughs and says "this is how we do it in Syria".
I couldn't help but laugh along with him.
Only problem being I didn't realise he was putting the needle in for the duration (3 days).  I'd have given him my left hand if I'd realised rather than having this great big plastic bolt-like thing sticking out the back of my right hand!

Juanna, hope you're doing okay.  Any news from your end?

Evie, good luck!!

[Asking4aMiracle]

[kele1129]

Just dropping in to say hey to all my sisters. Not much in a talking mood right now but I will be back on later tomorrow.

Congrats on the first bag down Magda!

[Juana824]

Hello ladies!

Madga - Glad everything went well today...there is a site www .dictionary.com that does translation for you after you type in your sentence. Maybe that can help with translation with your Arabic helper...hope you don't have any side effects from the steriods.

Amberlee - Welcome back! My aunt is there in Vegas now. She said it was like 102. She will be there until around tuesday  thnk, she took the trip to take her mind off of the cancer. Her lumpectomy (sp?) is next Thursday.

Sammy - Poor Sammy, hope the color fades to something you reallly like...Unless DH is willing to do something to change it.

AFM -  I was still having trouble getting my food to stay down. I did manage to keep down a greasy pollish and some french fries...go figure...it was delish!!! I have started spotting..this brownish color. Not enough to fill a panty liner..I know TMI, but you all can handle it!!! LOL I have ahad a little cramping, othing too major...hope this is normal...any thoughts???

Everyone else, hope all is well...talk to you all later!

Tijuana

[alaskacouple]

Tijuana - praying and hoping the little bean is implanting 'hard' making a nice nest for the next 33.5 weeks!
The polish and fries sound yummy! The more grease the better! I found when being seasick, nothing works better than some greasy food! (Kind of like a hang over!)

I am currently on chocolate overdose..... that's what I get for keeping a glass jar of reese's bite size peanut butter cups on my desk..... mmmmmmmmm  chocolate!
dang hormones!

[Juana824]

UMMMM REESE'S...I only like the little ones..I know, its all mental. Thanks for the prayers. I will take all I can get. I have been reading stories by these women who have had misdiagnosed miscarriages ..some were beyond ten weeks and scheduled for D&C and have healthy babies now...that really gives me hope. The way I have been sick, gives me hope too...I had to ride around with a plastic bag. We went to Bed, Bath and Beyond today and Michael had to ask for a plastic bag because I kept tossing my cookies...okay TMI again....

[kp1212]

hi girlies,

Sal, that blows about the immune stuff.  Be a good little patient and follow the doctors orders OR ELSE!!  

Juana, Sorry that you are soo sick, but that's a good thing!  Now go toss some more cookies...

Sammy, I'm sure the fence is PERFECT!  ;-)  funny story!  I can't believe how well you respond to the meds.  I have been on stims for TWELVE days (15 by the clinics count) and I have TWO m-f follicles that are sort of growing.  My one side with two follicles is slightly tender--I can't imagine how you feel especially towards the end of the cycle!  Hey, as it is turning out, we will be in the TWW together (assuming I get to do a transfer or IUI conversion)!  

Evie--good luck!

Glenda, Thanks for the message about my brother.  Hope you are feeling better soon!

Magda, I have a mental picture of you sitting on the couch with an IV bag pinned to the curtain, a strange man across from you and neither one of you speaking.  It makes me giggle!  And, from what you have said, it doesn't sound far from the reality!  Keep us posted on the steroids.  Hope you feel ok through this stuff.  Your FET is coming up soon, right?!?

Amberlee,  Good to see you back!  Been thinking about you.

Miky,  Where you been hiding lately?!?  Miss you!

Savanhna, ahhhh Savanha...WORD!  ;-)

Kele, Gonna send you a message elsewhere...

Jen, where are you???  How is the cycle going?

Okey dokey, the latest on me....I have another appt tomorrow morning to measure my TWO follicles (shouldn't take long).  Still plugging along.  My brother was discharged from the hospital today with his pain meds, bandages, walker and shower chair (he's like a little old man).  Many thanks for all the well wishes!  You girls are wonderful.

Will keep you posted tomorrow with my amazing results!  ;-)  

[Savanha]

First of all...Savanha, your pics are sooooo cute!  LOL!  :-)  And, would you please ovulate for pete's sake?!?  Geez!!!

Ok, my update for the day...

The left ovary on Wed. had a 14, 10 and 6.5.  Today it showed an 18, 14, 14 and 10.  WTH?  How did an extra follie just pop up after 13 days?  Not that I care, just KEEP GROWING!!!  On the right (lazy ovary) there was a 7 and now there is....a 7.  Nuttin on the right.  Lining is thick at 14.5.  I have an appt again tomorrow, and the decision will be made if we do IVF (please!) or IUI.  If we have 3 mature follies, IVF is the route and trigger will be either Sat or Sun (pending tomorrows results).  Otherwise, we will trigger and do IUI either Sun & Mon, or Mon and Tues.

Kele, PLEASE SEND ME SOME OF THAT MAGIC MOJO RSSBD!!!

All my AGP sistas, please please PLEASE keep your fingers crossed and wish my follies to grow!  They need all the encouragement they can get!!!

RE is suppose to call me today....update later!

krista... I'm about to go to sleep as is almost midnight here but I'll be saying lotsa prayers for ya!!!
Follies have a thing about showing up to the part late.  Yours sound like they're doing well though.  You should be able to get three out of that, I should think!!  Who knows... there might be another lurking around somewhere!!
Have fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you.

asking4amiracle--I KNOW how you feel.  I was trying to swallow just 1/4 of a small anti-nausea pill this morning, so I could make it to the OB and I lost what little I'd been able to get down.  It's NOT fun, but at least you know "things" are okay.

Well, Ladies, I went for my 1st OB appt this am.  Our tiny little one was just where it was supposed to be and its little heart was beating like crazy.  I am SOOOO relieved, but I won't be totally at rest until our next appt in 2 wks.  With my m/c's the dr offered to let us come back in a wk or 2 instead of 4wk, so our next appt is 9/19.

Juana, my 4-yr-old woke me at 4am with a bad dream and then I couldn't get back to sleep, so I laid in bed and prayed for you for quite a while.
