Whatever pic you have saved on your hard drive. Upload them to an album site like Photobucket. On there when you upload a pic, it gives you three diff url codes that you can use on sites to show your pics.

When you've done that, if the site you use doesnt supply the codes, right click your mouse on the pic, and the url code will be there. Use the mouse to highlight and drag down (incase it's a long url). It'll stay highlighted and right click and select copy.

When you're here paste the url and then highlight it, and click the img (image) icon at the top of your reply message box. That'll put the rest of the code in so you can view the pic.

eg. http://www.ivf-infertility.com/phpBB2/i ... n_idea.gif

I hope that makes sence.

Hey Nicki, sorry for butting in on your thread. I'm glad to hear that your insurance will be paying. Bad timing on the construction with your cycle though. Just try to stay stress free as much as possible.

Sonya - CUTE PUPPY!!!!

I'm not sure when my next IVF cycle will be. I'm still waiting on AF to arrive. then I have to wait another cycle with AF again to start the IVF process again.... More than likely though, I'll be on the April thread. I may butt into your thread from time to time to see how you guys are progressing. I wish all of you the best!!!

Hi ladies!

Quick question...I noticed on my IVF protocol that I'm supposed to take baby aspirin during the cycle. Do I start that when my next af comes (while on Lupron) or should I have started it when I started the bcp's. Or can I start it now? I'll call my clinic tomorrow, but I haven't really read anybody being on aspirin around here....

any thoughts on this???
Thanks,
Anna
PS: Sonya, your doggie is soo cute!!!! And Marcia, those are some adorable furry friends you've got!

Anna: I take baby asprin also. You can start that whenever you want but I would think the sooner the better. I am going to start mine on the first day of AF and bcp's only because I absolutley hate the taste of them.

morning ladies,

regarding acu during 2ww, on saturday whilst I was at my session we were going through when I should have it and when not to....my acu has been on a zita west course and we also looked through one of her books - she recommends it after ET but not between days 4-7 of the 2ww but again after it - I've ordered the book as it not the one I have, so when it arrives I will read and post what it says.

Shantala - the reason you are prob not having needles in the tummy is that is all related to yr cycle and hormones and now that yr are on meds they shouldn't be interferring - my acu said that she won't be doing any there once I start stims.

And yes, I think it would be fab to meet up !!

Nicki - really good news re insurance, a weight off yr mind I suspect. Shame about timing of work.

Jackie - hi, how are you doing, nice to see you again and welcome to the thread.

I started d/regging last night and can you believe it , nearly forgot!! Had a friend over and we were chatting and after she went and DH came home, I started dinner and then it suddenley hit me that I needed to do something important!! Obviously very chilled about all this, may be a bit too much!! :)

I started to bleed last night too so now I'm worried that I have my cycle all wrong but they def told it was when I had fresh blood (tmi :oops: ) and thats when my day 1 was although I do spot heavily for about a week before therefore spotting again last night all adds up in terms of dates, if that makes sense ! :? Sorry have I lost anyone yet?? Will call the clinic later to check.

To make matters worse, had a massive bust up with DH and now we are not talking - he told me to F-off, no actually he shouted it at me, so also in two minds whether to continue this month as I don't need this sort of stress and feel like crying at the mo. It doesn't help that we work in the same place and car share so it was a very quiet journey in this morning.....

sorry to lay this all on you guys, but you're the only ones that will understand....

I will catch up on personals later.......

i'll write more later but MarciaL- I love love love guineapigs!

i bought my first one in aug 2002- my first "adult pet" (I moved out on my own in may 2002 and was not allowed to have cats or dogs or in my first apt) so I bought a guinea pig- named him shaggy.

moved down to nc and my now dh bought him a friend for a "just because present". we named her velma. she was a baby. they did have a baby but it died at birth- looked just like shaggy too- sad. my dh used to carry velma sround his his shirt pocket too!

not long after velma died and shaggy got very depressed. he was losing a bunch of weight and not eating and just laying there. so I bought him a male friend- fred.
sadly shaggy just recently passed on feb 7th, 2007. he was going to be 5 year + old. we still have fred. haven't got him a friend yet- but he seems to be doing good.

I have another U/S today- lets pray the 17 follies are still there and maybe more! I'm sooooooo ready for my trigger and everything. it seems like we've been doing the stims for a lot longer than 6 days!

talk to you all later!

nimble - i'm so sorry to hear you're having a tough time. i completely know how you are feeling as i had a bust up with my dh yesterday and i went completely mad (over a fairly small thing) and told him to f off several times!!!....could have just cried but didnt as i didnt want him saying sorry just coz he felt sorry for me. so i then i had to jab myself and lost some of the dose by accidentally dialling backwards and it shot across the room and then i nearly lost it again. so i really know how you feel. you just dont need it but at the same time its such a hard thing to go through for both of you so arguments are to be expected. hugs!! (and for the first time in my life i actually gave in to the silence - i NEVER do - coz i figured i just dont need it at the moment...and coz i was being the b***h i guess)....about your bleed...that doesnt make sense to me either! i did bleed when i downregged but not straight away...let us know what the clinic says...thinking of you!!

at work so will have to do personals later

Happy Monday girls!!!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I'm happy to report that AF started last night so I will be able to go to my base scan on Wednesday. :D I did have a horrible migraine all day yesterday so I was thinking she was on her way. And now I’m exhausted. But it's ok because it means I'm still on track! If all goes well at the scan then I will be starting Stimms on Friday and EC will be only 2 more weeks from today. WOW. :shock: I'm so excited but also so nervous!!

Nimble-(((HUGS)))) I'm so sorry to hear about you and DH having an argument. Maybe the stress of all that is going on is getting to him and you both just need some time to clear your head? I hope that you can get it all sorted and it won't affect your cycle. I'm sure he will come around. Try not to let yourself stress (easier said than done I know) and concentrate on all you have to look forward to. It's exciting you started d/regging last night!! Please keep us posted and feel free to come here and vent/whine/complain or whatever you need to do. We are all hear for you!!!!

Anna- I'm also on baby aspirin. I started taking it when I was taking BCPs and I am still taking it while on Lupron. I would think you could start as soon as you wanted. I just take a chewable one every night before bed. I buy the cherry flavored and they really aren't that bad.

Mrs b- I love King Charles puppies. Did you watch Sex & the City? I loved the episode when Charlotte got one of those. It was sooo sweet!!

Sonya- I love love love your puppy!! What is her name?? She's a long haired doxie right? We have two mini dachshunds. Mr. Lou and Dorie. I'm trying to attach pictures below…

Nicki- So glad to hear that your insurance is covering your damage. And you are right to not get stressed about it. It is an inconvenience but it will all get sorted out in time and you've got much more important things to be focusing your energy on!

Sha- Thanks for cheering on AF…she showed up last night just on time! Congrats on starting your downregging! I let DH do all my injections but I think you're right…letting him try his hand at acupuncture may be a bit risky! :wink:

Marcia- Look at all your cute little babies!! You must have your hands full keeping them all happy!!

Karia- Thanks for the great info on acu. It makes me feel really good about my decision to go ahead with it. About the 2ww, my acupuncturist says he recommends before and after ET and then on day 4 or 5 to aid in implantation. Anyone else ever hear that?

Jackie- Welcome! I have my base scan Wednesday and if all looks well I will start Stimms on Friday so we will be starting around the same time!

Shantala- Oh I'm jealous of your cyber ladies meeting!!! Too bad Indiana is a tad too far away for me to join in on the fun!! :roll: I haven't had too many side effects yet but I'm still not stimming. I'll let you know how I feel when I start. But I'm sure it's normal to have a bit of nausea with all that medication in your body. You may just need some time to adjust.

Vicky- How was Sanson's puppy training??

Mandeeq- Sorry to hear about your scan but I really hope the next one shows an improvement. Everything crossed for you!!

Ok, I suppose I should get to work. I may have to spend some time surfing the net to check out all your myspace pages at lunch. I did have one a while back but ended up canceling it. Now I wish I wouldn't have!! It is great to see everybody's pictures and put faces to all the names. So here is a pic of me and DH from New Years:

Have a great day ladies…talk to you all soon!
