MARCH-CYCLE BUDDIES

[smattison]

I just went and did this again??? Lets see if it works???

[rae76]

Stephanie, they should provide you with a couple of different codes. Did you try the BBCode?

I'm actually not in Dallas but in Las Colinas (North Irving) - I'm just used to referring to the big D because it's a city everyone knows So we're not very far from each other. I used to go to the Advanced Reproductive Care Center of Las Colinas - a great clinic that I've been very happy with. Thank you for the congratulations - it's all still very unreal...

Steph and Nicky, good luck for tomorrow - Steph for yor baseline scan and Nicky for your BW results! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Amanda, how was the trial transfer?

Bridget, that's great news, congratulations honey!!! A textbook case, wow!!

Kandice, sorry to hear that you'll have to wait for a bit longer but I'm sure it'll pay off in the end. Good luck for growing your follies!

Shantala, hopefully you will not get any more uncomfortable than that and get to take a lot of time for resting and taking care of yourself. But yes, I agree - surely feeling like that means that the meds are working their magic!! I'm very excited for you and hopefully your scan will bring wonderful news!

Rae-

My husband is a Doc at Presby so we have to use the Docs there. They are good and have a high success rate but not with me.. LasColinas is nice I use to work there.

I just tried the ticker again and it is still not working...darn. I used the bbCode and cut and pasted it in my signature, this stinks.

Hi All

It is soooo wonderful seeing everyones lil fur families! If you are like me they are a huge part of my family. I love them sooo much!!!

Mrs. B: I saw Roxie on your my space! She is so sweet! Like you said on your My Space Shy is my constant companion. She is with me at all times when I am home! And god forbid I pack a bag she will climb in and unpack it! She has suitcase anxiety!

Vicky: Sanson is adorable!!! How old is he? Loved the pics of you and DH. You look great together!

Nimble: Great to hear that things are de-frosting! Not sure wether you are stimming or not but I am sure everything will be fine. Trust your clinic!

Smatison: WELCOME!! Sorry to hear about your bfn. I had a bfn in december. I still have nightmares about that day. I never want to feel that pain again. I was totally devasted. My dh were so tired of telling people that we had a bfn that we have only told a handful of people about our second try. You will get tons of support here!

Rae: How is the little one?

Kandice: I laughed out loud about your dh! God help the earth if the men had to carry the baby! I wish him the best of luck!!!! When I did my last IVF my follies grew a little slowly dont worry they will develop just fine. I know another day seems like an eternity! I have heard of Elkin. I live in SE Charlotte. While I am in the city I live on a 5 acre lake! I love the peace and quite like I am sure you do!! I hope your scan tomorrow goes great!! GROW FOLLIES GROW!!!!!! Sorry about the needles they are horrid!!! You can always try a little anbesol on the injection site to numb it a little just make sure you put that on and then use alchohol wipe. It helps a lot with the inter muscle shots.

Shantala: So jealous that you all get to meet each other HOW FUN!!! Glad to hear that you have the shots down. Sorry about the clot. That sounds really scarey! Good luck on the follie scan!!! Grow Embies grows!

BJ: Wow text book!That is amazing!!! Congrats! Go hug some more trees it seems to be working! FET just around the corner!!! Good luck! Fingers crossed for you! I agree about the HPT! I would want a blood test! Do you have that option?

Nicola: Wooo Hoooo You posted the pics!!! Good job. Your sleeping kittys are very sweet! Got your email with the update! Thanks

Pep: My doxie isnt so Shy anymore but she was when I first got her. They are such great dogs! I think I will always have at least one doxie! Good luck on the base scan!!!

KIA: Sorry about the computer problems there is nothing worse! Glad you didnt stab your thumb!!! LOL Maybe you should try with your eyes open... Glad DH will be home!

Smatison: Copy the BBC code not the html.

Whew that was a mega post!!!!

As for me it is really beautiful today 70 degrees fahrenheit. I think that is 17 Celsius. I am sitting on my porch enjoying the unusal weather!! I STILL DONT HAVE AF!!! I dont know where the H*LL she is but I have had cramps forever! Sigh.....

Love to all
Sonya

Stephanie....welcome!!!...I think I know what the problem is with your ticker, the last [img] has a bar in it, it looks like this [img/], and it shouldn't, try removing that bar and see what happens.......hope it helps and that you understood what I was trying to say, sometimes I get tangled in my own tounge

Sonya....Sanson is 8 months old, I know, he just melts me when he gives me the "innocent puppy" look..awwwwww.

Nicky....yes, it sucks when that happens with the computer, it happened to me yesterday I wanted to kick the computer!!!!

BJ......wowww, you are so close!!!, that is amazing!!!

Well girls, going to acupuncture, have to leave or I will be late......see you later!!

[smattison]

TEST

[smattison]

still not working???

[smattison]

Can someone pos there ticker code so I can see what it looks like???

[rae76]

Stephanie - I can't think what could be wrong with your ticker! I had the same problem when I tried posting a ticker from a different site but with tickerfactory it worked like it was supposed to.

Glad to hear that your clinic is good - sometimes it just doesn't work the first time. I'm really rooting for you so that this time all that work would bring home a baby! At my clinic the "junior" RE laughed on my last visit and said "well, looks like we weren't able to help you at all and you did it all by yourself without any meds or tmt" and of course that's partly true - but really they DID help me tremendously - I've been operated on twice, had all the testing done there and got a lot of answers to questions that had been haunting me. And I felt that esp. the "senior" RE at the clinic was just heaven sent - he was always there with an encouraging comment, believing in our chances when I didn't (DH always did, that incurable optimist...) and a couple of times he even called me home to make sure I was ok after receiving some conflicting info from another medical service provider. So I really think the people and the atmosphere at the clinic are so important!! Hope you feel the very same way about yor clinic even after the first BFN, which must have been very hard. My thoughts are with you!

Sonya, I'm doing the dance for you *wiggle wiggle*. Hopefully she'll arrive sooner rather than later - you must be dying to get started!

You have a really nice spring weather there! So do we - today it was 79 and the next couple of days it will stay around 75. That's so great! I've been taking an hour every day to sit on my balcony reading and my face is all freckled The weather really makes a difference moodwise, doesn't it!

Thank you for asking - I hope the little one is doing just fine, at least s/he's trying to make mommy puke every day from noon till night (no success as of yet - just a lot of nauseous days and eating every hour or so), But I'm not complaining if I get to keep the little miracle - that's something I still am nervous about. My next OB visit will be next week and hopefully it will bring good news....

[smattison]

One more test!

[jstrandlund]

Hi everyone, I LOVE all the pictures of your fur babies. It is amazing how much we love these animals and how important they are in our lives. I am going to give it a try and post my two fur babies.
I hope everything is going well for you all. As for me things are pretty quiet right now. I am trying to get over a cold before I start my Lupron and looking forward to my next acupressure appointment.

Smattson
Sorry just doing a test post to see if I could get tickerfactory to work. And it wouldnt work unless I pasted into my profile. Are you pasting it in your profile?

[smattison]

Yes I am posting in my profile.

[annag]

Welcome Stephanie! Good luck with the 2nd try...Why are they not starting you on the Lupron this time? This is my 1st and doing Lupron...

Nicki, I'm like you--love dogs too but with 3 cats, can't have any more pets in the house.

Shantala, sorry about your discomfort..hope there are lots of follies growing in there. Good luck with the scan.

Kandice...24 follies is great. Hope they grow beautiful mature eggies soon!

Mrs B...I hear ya about outbursts...I cried 3 hrs straight today after I realized I missed my acu session. I haven't had one in 2 wks and next appt is next week. I don't know why I'm so forgetful these days. I'm usually obsessive-compulsive about these things.

Kia, I'm like you with the shots. I do them by the kitchen table too and usually look at the needle for a few minutes and the more I look at it the slower it goes in and I feel the sting more....I wish I could just do it and be done with it!

Steph, good luck with the scan.. Hope everything goes well so you can start stimming soon!

Rae, I'm glad you're doing great except for the msickness. When's your next scan?

Bridget Jones, congrats on being a textbook case. That's definitely what you want to hear from your doc when things are going good!

Sonya, so jealous of your 70 degree weather! Doing an af jig for you!!!!
Hope she comes soon!

Nimble, thanks that af jig is definitely working. I'm spotting now which usually means af is on her way either tomorrow or the next day and will probably get the baseline scan on Friday....Keeping my fingers crossed! I hope down regging is going well with you!

My doc said that some women do not respond to some many drugs. Last time I was on Lupron for about 4 weeks and stim meds for about 10 of those days. All Lupron does is keep you from Ovulating prematurely. They say they will have to watch me really close to maske sure I don't. I hope they know what they are doing.
