hey ladies Im confused about why my transfer might be th 24th. I thought day 1 was the day of retrieval.
Morning all... 'course you're all still in la la land but it's about bloody time I was up... 10:50am here! And no, I'm not a lazy cow... I didn't get to sleep till 2:30am! It's always like this when DH is away. He sent me a text message this morning which I'm sure was supposed to ease my mind but has only created so many questions. That said, we're not going to know anything until tomorrow at the earliest. So now I just have to concentrate on getting through today.
Krista, yes, we're well aware that Sally's a total nutter. But ssshhhh... don't tell her... I'm not sure she knows.
what am I talking about ??? Scrap that... I'm sure she's well aware too!
Can you guys tell I'm bored?
I have no one to talk to and I WANT MY HUBBY-Y-Y-Y-Y... sniff ... sniff ...
k... off to read my book.

HA! I am so not a nutter.. I am just silly.. silly Sally. I just happen to not embarrass easily and think self-depricating humor is funny. If you can't laugh at yourself, then please please world, pull the stick out of your rear end and have some fun!
Magda.. seems like my body is trying to get on your Syrian time. Since this IVF cycle started I haven't slept past 6 am. It's usually been more like 5-5:30. I really hope your DH gets this position. Sounds like a winner for sure!
Anxious.. Congrats on your eggies! And Helen is right.. think of it in 24 hour periods.. from retrieval to day 1 is 24, then from that first report to second is another 24, and so on. Good luck on your transfer.
helen.. How are you feeling these days? Are you finally feeling preggers?
Amberlee.. How bout you?? Are you feeling better? I hope so.. you're strong.. and shall overcome. Us IVF girls are stronger than most!
kele.. Isn't your beta tomorrow?? Good luck.. please keep us posted!!!!
Juana.. Hey.. when is your FET planned? Im jealous.. I want some frosties!!
Krista.. Love those new photos.. the one on the boat is hilarious! And your SD's look uh.. charming? Youre a real trooper, thats fo' sho' !
So Ive been thinking about this whole IVF thing.. and here's what has me confused. I made a bunch of eggs.. most of them were good, DH's sperm fertilized them naturally, and most are still good embies, growing strong.. so WHY IN THE H*E*L*L DID I NOT GET PREGGERS NATURALLY? Really seems like I should have gotten preggers in the past 2 1/2 frikkin years, ya know? I guess I'll never know the answer. Something to ponder.
I think DH is going to work today and going to leave me alone..whew.. he was taking his job seriously yesterday. Now what shall I do? Lift some buildings? Run a marathon? Go adventure racing? Oohh.. I know.. ice wall climbing!

Do you mean you don't know why you're doing IVF?? I mean, granted, it's 'cause ya been having all this fun but there's no end product but I assumed that everyone doing this knew what their "problem" was. I mean, it's not like you go around asking "So what's WRONG with YOU?" but I assumed everyone knew what their specific reason was. Mine is that DH did a very stupid thing 23 years ago and so there's a bit of a physical barrier preventing us from producing results.
I guess many people *don't* actually know though... They've tried and it just hasn't happened... so you go to plan B, C, D and what have you.
But Sally, in terms of asking why... I though this would be easy for us because the problem is "male factor" and because we are both able to produce perfectly good eggs and sperm, respectively. We were originally given an 80% chance of success!!
And yet, here we are at try # 4.
Maybe it really is luck of the draw. I mean, there are so many things that can prevent a pregnancy from happening that it's a wonder to me that the human race hasn't died out!
Maybe if you continued trying naturally you'd have lucked out on the next try and maybe you'd have lucked out in another 2 1/2 years. Who knows?
God... I'm SO-O-O-O-O friggin' bored!! And DH STILL hasn't called so I have all these questions running around in my head from his frigging text message!
Get a feeling I'm not going to get any answers till he gets back to the hotel after dinner!!!
Ugh.
tee hee... Sally... I'm flattered that you should want to be so well aligned with me. I mean, retreival date, transfer date and now you're trying to keep the same hours too! But ya know, it's getting a little scary... Maybe you should just stick to your own country's hours.
... and stay away from them ice walls would ya?

my sweet DH too me shopping yesterday and treated me to dinner. we turned off our cells and relaxed, it was nice! my next u/s is the 26th! im looking forward to being able to see the heartbeat, not just being told there is one!
Thank you for caring enough about me to ask! its still hard but you all make it much easier to move on.

you might like this, you might not care, just wanted to share it with you guys for the heck of it.
i use to have ferrets, i love them they are the coolest pets and most entertaining so this was really interesting to me knowing that there are animals out there going through what we are (just not in the emotional state)
http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/SmallMammals/
this is a link to a live web cam of a black footed ferret and her newborn kit that she just gave birth to on june 20th. she is one of 4 other females at this rescue center that were artificially inseminated. just thought it was kinda cool.
Hope you are all having a great day!

Hey girls ~ just checking in ~ seems like you're all rollin' along pretty good ~ but with 8 days and counting left to START IVF/intake, etc ~ DH is becoming more and more of a rat ~ dunno why ~ today he says "bah hah I can''t have another baby because my husband didn't want another 10 yrs ago" on the way home from his Mom's ~ REAL nice ~ I don't know whether to just ignore it or go for the big D anymore ~ his mouth is working over time ~ and with the "sack" I've grown from the injections & IUI's I don't know how much I can take ~ it's getting really nasty ~ feel like just saying F***K it and get on with enjoying myself ~ getting my ars back to the gym and lose the darn extra weight the meds put on ~ I'm so incredibly aggravated with the extra weight put on the last 6 months, it's rediculous ~ the weight I lost 3 months ago is back on and the sack on my gut is just yucky ~ ....feelin really horrible ~ can ya tell....~
hope everyone else is having a good day ~ :-{

Hello all!!
Sally - My FET is scheduled for Monday, July 14th. I am excited and scared. It's so emotionally draining. I wish it would just happen already...I know it will when God wants it to happen.
Madga/Sally - Good luck on your tansfers? When do they take place again?
Krista - you are such a funny lady...Thanks for keeping things light around here...you and Sally always keep a smile on my face!

Miky - Remain prayerful and good luck on your next cycle.
Anxious - Good luck on transfer.
Helen - When do you go back to the doctor?
Amberlee - I am glad you and your sweet DH took some time out for yourselves. It's just what the doctor ordered!! Are you going to post U/S pics?

Hi ladies,
I wanted to let everyone know that I am getting a little better each day, but still very sore. It ***** because the doctor told me I can't drive, work, lift or have sex with my DH for a month. Another thing that ***** is that I had a c-section without having a baby. Sorry I needed to vent. I think my anger is starting to show though. I just don't know how this all got out of hand. I am so confused and hurt right now. Trust me I am very happy I am here today, but it still hurts.

rgh.. I would be angry too! you have every right to be upset, and thats what we're here for, to listen. I had a c-section too.. for a giant fibroid.. and I know, the scar s*u*c*k*s when you dont have a baby to show for it, and recouping is hard. Im sorry about all this BS.. I hope some heads are gonna roll!
kele.. Sitcky sticky sticky baby dust!!!!!!!
Miky.. How you doin???? Thinking about you!
Madga.. Drink that Gatorade!!!
Juana.. How many you have on ice? How many you going to transfer??? Details!
AFM.. I gots me some serious crampage today. The lab called and they think that 1 maybe 2 of my embies might make it to freeze (some on little guys, you can do it!).. I'll know tomorrow... man, that would be nice, a couple of frozen blasts on ice.
