The Sisterhood of the Blue Stilettos

[Ange]

Sassy Sassy Sassy.....

I took hpt on 8dpt and it was negative. My blood was positive. Took another hpt on 10dpt and it was negative. Took a blood on the same day and it was positive. I think you might be testing too early for a hpt sweetie. I know how hard it is not to use the evil hpt when it is staring you in the face, but don't upset yourself uneccessarily.

hugs,
Ange

Yeah Sassy, same thing happened to me, I did an HPT 8dp3dt and it was negative, it came up positive a couple of days later, so hang in there, time will tell.......(I know you just want to punch me right now, that is fine, that is what this thread is all about, vent vent vent!!!!)

[hopeful-in-LV]

sassy, I have no right to preach about the evil HPT anymore. But I still believe that it may just be that your little fighter implanted late and HCG will show up in you blood monday. Everyone is different. I totally understand the wanting to prepare yourself for bad news. I did that too my last cycle. after my RE cut me off PIO, that's when I tested, because i kinda already knew. I will be saying extra prayers for you!! keep up the PMA

Girls girls girls! Since when were IT guys cute? All the ones I have ever come across were complete nerds!

(OK now someone is going to tell me their DH is an IT guy - ooppps!)

Sunday PM here - DH is at the cricket and I am feeling all inspired to do lots of chores - not sure what's got over me but I better make hay while the sun shines. Will check in later. A

Salut Ladies....

How's your weekend so far??? Yesterday I was in a very grumpy mood...don't know why but I was hating everyone (except for you ladies...needless to say that)...so my DH suggested to rent a movie and cuddle home.... and guess what i watched... The Godfather part 3... I love it... well

Vicky... Dubai's weekend is now Friday-Saturday, but previously it was thursday-friday...and our company still follows the old weekend...so we work thursday half day and only have one day off...Friday (which is not enough)...
I think you mean Burj el Arab...its an amazing hotel...Dubai is very nice! make sure if you visit again to let me know...i will show you around.
Btw for the AF to show up I heard that if you drink cinnamon it would help...you know the cinnamon sticks if you boil and drink...at least it wouldnt hurt...

Sassy...I am praying for you!!! It must be crazy... all i can say is good luck and we r here for u!!!

Angie...you made laugh so hard on the IT guy... well ur right! IT guys tend to be nerdy...however I met couple of them who were cute (not hunks with six packs... ) but good looking...

Hey Mia...how r you?

Hugs

hi ladies, hope you are having a wonderful sunday!

sassy, how are you doing over there? I'm thinking of you. hoping and praying you get some really good news tomorrow!

I just got back from my clinic. I should hear from them this afternoon. My RE saw me and told me he will call as soon as he gets the results so I don't have to wait on pins and needles all day! perhaps he has some good news he's eager to tell me. I'll let you know when I hear something.

patie, ooo you live in Dubai, I've oly heard about it, i will go on the web and try to look at some pics. do you work in the tourist/travel industry? DH works at one of the luxury hotel/casinos here in vegas.
i'm feeling really good. feeling actually very normal and extremely happy. felt this way pretty much all week. no crazy pg symptoms. I did have this insane tickling feeling in my uterus area on wed. almost drove me nuts. but no bad cramps or anything. i guess that is good.

Mia: oooooo, getting so close now! I imagine he will be calling you any time now... Hoping you tell us soon!

[Angie65]

Hi guys - Mia - can't wait to hear your result.

Sassy - well it's Monday here so if you were here in Oz you could test now! Hope the waiting's not too terrible.

Hi to everyone else - will post again soon.

Not long til my Valentine's Day scan appmt with Dr. D - very exciting. I think I will change my ticker for countdown!

[hopeful-in-LV]

it's official, we have a BFP!!!!! I'm so happy! I was so excited to finally hear my RE tell me my test was positive, that I forgot to ask about my HCG count. oh well, I have a BT on Tuesday I will ask about it then. He said that in about 6 days we'll be able to see if there is 1 or 2. Thanks so much for all your support!

Sassy you are next!!! can't wait to hear about your test tomorrow. How are you doing?

Hey Ladies

Cripes! (hows that for a 1950's style cuss word) a lot has happened over the weeked. I had every intention of logging on but our computer went bung on us.

First of all, MIA, CONGRATULATIONS! You must be over the moon, I am so pleased for you. Fantastic news.

Sass, I've been thinking about how you went with your test all weekend. I am hoping with everything I've got that you get good news. I don't blame you one bit for the POAS action. Frankly, I'd also know before hand so that I can have my expected melt down in private.... I have a spare HPT hidden in my shoe cupboard.....

Cracked up about you laughing at the computer. I've been doing that a bit lately (thanks to you guys...) Luckily the only person in earshot is my assistant and she is usually drunk or also laughing at her computer....

Mego, hope you had a good weekend with the family. Hearing you on the f**ng procrastination thing....we must be twins....yep am a lawyer, never said I was a good one though. If I wanted to practice in the US would have to do some exams....unlikely because I really hate learning new stuff (eductional stuff that is). I have a love of all things low brow, hence my love of made for tv specials (especially the kind that are trumpeted as a special "that no parent should miss"....). I would however consider doing the exams if you needed me to run the IVF defence for you. If that happens I think we should engage Sass's fil as senior and I will junior (i.e run around getting drinks for people and otherwise looking important).

Patie I am f**ng impressed that you can outcurse your DH. I have a long way to go before I can claim to outswear my potty mouthed DH!

Ang, Ang, Ang. Yes, IT guys can be a little on the nerdy side, but inside that dweebish exterior beats a passionate heart....don't be starting something you can't finish now...

Vicky, how are you going?? what is going on with your levels??? The wait must be so frustrating, I know that's what kills me!

Wannababy, very impressive rant! It's good to have a decent one, we've all been a bit mellow lately. So girls, I think Wanna's male friend should get the Punter Award for this week. Do I have any seconders to that motion???

YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I am over here doing the happy dance!! Hopeful I'm so happy for you!! I'm so excited!! I was just sitting here reading through all the posts that I missed (boy I missed a lot). I've been a little busy lately. And there it was the last post...from you!!! I'm so happy for you! That's wonderful!!! You give the rest of us inspiration!! I can't wait to more news!!

Sassy you are next!! I think February is going to be a BFP MONTH!!!

Congrats again Hopeful!!! I'm smiling from ear to ear!!!

[FionaA]

OOPs Mego, I forgot to congratulate you on the heartbeat. That must have been a great moment for you both. Don't worry about your appearance from here on in. I think most people, when they have kids, let themselves get a bit clapped out...something about priorities changing..or some other deep thing....superficial me doesn't quite understand but OK. Fee

[meg12]

HI girls. Finally got rid of the family so I can get back to the boards!

Mia--WoooooooHooooooo! I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to hear how high your levels are. Twins would be awesome.

Sassy--I'm praying things go your way tomorrow. I'm so nervous, you'd think it was me taking the damned test!

Fee--You are officially crazy. And what's up with the drunk assistant? Can I come to Australia and be your assistant? Sounds like fun! And you're hired if I ever need the IVF defense.

Patie--Thanks for the language lesson. It seems like all the sudden I hear about Dubai all the time and I always think, Hey I know someone from there!

Well, back to the SuperBowl (I just like the commercials, although this year they haven't been that great!)

[meg12]

Fee--Missed your second post. I am not going down the road of letting myself go! I promise to stay just as conceited as I was before the test showed positive. From now on, everyone at my doctor's office will be fricking blown away at how glamorous and beautiful I look! It is my solemn vow to the Sisterhood!

[wannababyIVF]

Hi Fee, I missed your post as I was writing mine. I think I was so I excited I forgot to write more. It's been a couple of days since I've been here. I've really missed you guys.

But I second your motion. He should get the punter award. He's such an A$$Hole. Opps, I think you guys are rubbing off on me. Nah, that would be a lie. The place were I am originally from, cussing is our first language. One might think we have a limited vocabulary but that's not the case. We just thinking cursing gets our point across better. I have gotten much better wih my pottie mouth. DH hates it when I curse. I just try not to do it around him.

Patie, I guess we have something in common. I can outcurse my DH anyday...and whew, after a few drinks, he's no competition. I sound too proud huh?

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys...the Punter AKA A$$hole said something about wishing his wife would give him a pass until she felt better. Or felt like having sex. I asked him what a pass was. I guess it's a male thing cause I have never heard of it. He said a pass was permission to go have sex with someone else. Ladies, if I could have jumped thru my computer. I asked him was he f***ing nuts!! He said I know she never would. Just wishful thinking and laughed. ARGH!! THe nerve. Needless to say after I cursed him out via IM he said..."guess I can't talk to you about this." We're best friends and can talk about anything but not this huh? Guess I need a guy for this one." I haven't talked to him since. I think I offended him. hehehe....

Sassy, where are you? I know the time is different and I'm not even going to try to figure it out. lol But I'm hoping you will be in here soon. I'm eager to hear your news!

Meg ----YIPPEE for the heartbeat!! Can't wait to hear more.

Angie I think my retrieval is going to be the same day as your scan. Please keep me posted. I had an appointment yesterday and no cysts...so I get to starts my STIMS tonight. Lucky me, two shots instead of one. I'm over here jumping for joy as we speak..NOT! But anyway, I have my first u/s and BW on Friday and dr is thinking the Egg retrieval (can't believe I just wrote that out. Sorry dont have my abbreviations infront of me). But anyway, it should be around Valentines day. Which is fine. I just want to get this show on the road. I am feeling more positive this time around. Although I'm starting to have the bloated feeling and a little bit of pelvic pain already. Also the headaches are bad. Anyone else having really bad headaches?

Hmmmm, I'm seriously sitting here trying to think of a sexy IT guy....Not coming to me right now. That's kinid of sad. I know there has to be one out there somewhere?

I just realized Desperate Housewives is not coming on today. Aw man, what am I going to do with myself tonight. Guess I'll go watch the superbowl half time show.
