Sassy---I love the new you. And I don't think you exaggerated enough! It's time the fertile, nosy people out there got a taste of their own medicine...honestly, I just don't get the nerve of some people. I mean, would you ever, ever ask someone if they were pregnant? Even before all of this struggle, I can't imagine sticking into someone's business like that. Blah to all of them!

Nickster--My AF after my bfn was horrible. Very heavy and lots of cramps. And it lasted longer than usual as well. Just another joyful side effect of the ivf journey!

I don't know what's come over me, but I'm feeling back to my old, chatty self! So, bring on some rants, ladies because I'm feeling like being mean :wink:

Sassy....I applaude you for your guts, I should be doing that too, some people are incredible, so nosy and so ignorant!! arrrrrrrrggggggggg!!!! Next time someone tells me something of the sort I am going to say "hold on I have to call sista Sassy" and then I call you, tell you the situation, and you tell me what to respond :wink:

Meg....I love your old chatty self, let's keep it coming girl!!!!!!!!!!

Jenn....I don't know how I am going to wait until May 7th myself!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I am not going crazy as much as I thought, but I feel weird, I don't know, there are moments that I even forget that I had the transfer, it's like I still cannot believe it, maybe because of all the time I have been waiting, I don't know (I think I said I don't know 80000 time already :lol: ). Anyway, next weekend I guess I will be HPT'ing, yes, I am a cheater :oops: , so let's hope I can keep my sanity until then.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!!

Hey girls....

Vicky-the-cheater: Had i not poas'd more times than i can count (including with expired HPTs :roll: ), i would give you a firm "rap" on your knuckles (like my 2nd grade teacher used to) for even thinking of it. BUT, since i am a poas'er at heart...
So i am curious.. did you have a daytime tv watching marathon, or did you read books, or what? while on bedrest? You didn't actually work, did you?

Meg: oooo, chatty meg is back. Hmmmm, i will work on coming up with a good rant. Once i have been with dh's familly for a week straight... i should have a doosey for you!

so getting ready to leave for the airport. I told my friend Rai (who is an OB) we were doing IVF once when he asked if we are having kids. Ever since, his entire family has been trying to get me to come do IVF in Vienna. I'm thinking it would be a good excuse to go hang out there for a few months. BUT, at this point, i would prefer to stay here. We have considered doing as a "what the hell" cycle once i feel like i am done cycling here. ANYWAY... I'm trying to figure out how i am going to have blunt IF conversations with them in German... should be interesting.

Hope you all have a great weekend! Will be back on ASAP!

Sassy~ Good for you..well for two reasons. One, your heading to Vienna right now. I am so jealous! And two, for putting that dumb a** receptionist in her place! How can people be sooo stupid??? Don't you wish you had a $ for every time you heard "just relax and it will happen"? I think we could all have several rounds of IVF paid for by now! I agree with Vicky, I'll have to call you next time for a response instead of just the normal nod and uh-huh when people say stupid s**t like that!
A little bit different but still from the stupid comment files.....About a month after our IVF and BFN in February this girl at work (who works very little so I don't see her that often) came up to me and said "so how many weeks pregnant are you now?". I don't know who was more ready to slap her, me or my friends I work with.

Vicky~ Hangin' in there? I don't blame you, I did and probably will again fall victim to the HPT. They are pretty hard to resist.

Meg~ Glad to hear you're felling chatty! Sorry, I don't have much to b***h about at the moment but I'm sure it wont be long!
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with horrible AF's after a BFN. Like you said, just another side effect. This month was a little bit better so I'm hoping next month I'll be back to normal.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. The weather is beautiful here. Tonight dh & I are taking my niece and nephew to the circus...that ought to be interesting!

Hi - hope I am not too late to wish Sassy a fabbo "since we didn't get preggo this time trip" (ie SWDGPTTT!)

Have a brilliant time Sista - relax and enjoy yourself - it is well deserved.

Hope the rest of the Sistas are having a good weekend. Sunday evening for me - another Monday morning on the way. Just a few more weeks til we get keys to our new house. I have kitchen designs spinning round my head - bench tops, cupboards, handles, flooring, appliances - where do we start? Any tips anyone?!!

Vicky - am thinking of you on the 2ww - hang in there Sista.

Patie--A magazine, huh? What kind, do tell! I'm sorry your folks left--I hate when my mom leaves. We only live 3 hours from each other, but each time we part company you'd think it was 30 hours. We're very emotional--it kills my dh! He thinks we're dopes :lol:

Fee--I'm with Patie--you should name your fish. I like to name everything. In fact, I'm always in charge of naming the turkey at Thanksgiving. It's a little morbid, considering we're just going to eat him/her, but there you go! How's noggin?

Sassy--Hope your trip is off to a great start!

Angie--Great to hear from you. Sorry it's Monday there already but if it makes you feel any better it's Sunday here and I'm at work. And it's freaking gorgeous out--suppossed to be in the 80s and sunny. When I left, my dh and my dd (dear dog, hee hee!) were hanging in the yard. So not fair.

Here's my rant for the day. I work at an eye doctor's office. We had a patient come in this week-she was 11 days from her due date with her first child. She was on about 20 medications. Her purse was open and she had a pack of cigarettes in it and she was drinking a regular coke. I wanted to offer her a beer just to finish it off!!!! Wow, I just couldn't believe it. I had a half of a diet coke in Vegas (first caffeine I've had since I got pregnant and I only drank that because I had a massive headache and my doctor said a little caffeine might help) and I felt so guilty I could barely stand it. I kept picturing my little baby swimming around all hyped up...I guess I have some guilt issues.

I'm having a really hard time this week. This time in between visits is killer. I'm sure something has gone wrong. It's totally irrational. I have no bleeding or anything, I just am so scared. Whoever said that pregnancy goes fast can just blow it out their asses! Sorry, just had to get that off of my chest!

Hope you all have a nice week. (See, chatty Megan is back!!!!)

Meg~ Everything will be fine. Wow..i just noticed you're 20 wks!! Half-way there! I'm sure the wait is horrible though. I have thought about that before, I would probably be the worst pregnant person ever. That would seem like the longest 40 wks of my life! The anticipation of seeing and holding the baby would drive me nuts. (I don't think I'm helping much, am I?) I agree with you that people are crazy when they think it goes by "fast". Hang in there.
BTW...don't worry too much about caffeine. It's not a bad thing to have a coke every once in a while. Trust me, I run in to people who have drank 12 packs of mountain dew a day, people that smoke, do drugs, etc. and their babies are fine (not that i agree with it, but it definitely happens). So I doubt a Coke every once in a while will bother little noggin!

Patie~ Tell your new boss he better not work you too hard or he'll have us to deal with!!! What kind of magazine are you working on?
The Circus was..well..interesting! It really wasn't as good as I thought it would be. My nephew is 6 so he really liked it, but my niece is 2 and it didn't really keep her interest that long. Then we came back here and they spent the night. They woke up at 5:30 (yes you read that right). Thank God dh got up with them and let me sleep a while longer. He's definitely the morning person around here. My sil just picked them up. We looked at eachother and said "wow our life really is easy!" See we just need that every couple of months to make us not feel so bad about our "childless" state!

Angie~ Wow..movin' in a couple weeks? That will be so much fun, although right now it seems pretty overwhelming I'm sure. I don't have much advice to offer you. Our first house we really didn't do that much work to and the house we're in now was new when we bought it. It doesn't sound like everything has to be done at once though. Take your time and have fun with it.

hey Mego....don't worry...i am sure there's no issue at all...and as nickster said little of caffeine wont harm...probably junior was having a party down there :)....wohoo...
btw my friend is also prego and she's going through hard time as well...she had major nausea and morning sickness...more like all day sickness...she's feeling better now but still not too ok....she was telling me that they fooled us by saying that pregnancy is easy...

as for the rant...well that lady is mad...seriously! i mean come on...she should know better!!! she needs a big slap...
I am emotional too..though i am trying to toughen up....my parents r 3 hrs away (by plane)....and i will be seeing them this summer but i dont know exactly when...probably end of july/early august....it'll be the fig and grapes season in our village....big yum!

Nickster...i so relate to u lady...sometimes my nephew sleepsover... he's almost 10 and going through early teenage... but i always look at our friends with kids and wonder if being childless isnt that bad....
btw can u still tolerate noise??? i sort of got used to being in noisless places...that now i cant even handle a nightclub!!!

well our new baby magazine is related to the landscape industry...which is DH's field of work...and since i worked in the media before i will be handling the operation especially that he still has his current job! i hope things will turn ok....fingers crossed!

Hey My Darlings!

I have been wanting to post, but honestly I just haven't found it in me, I don't know what's up with that... but I am sure I'll slap it out of myself soon! :oops:

But I can say that VICKY ONE MORE WEEK!!!! :lol:

Mego - I am so positive that everything is fine, that I am willing to stake my life on it! So take a deep breath, and remember that you thinking postiive has a postitive effect on the butterbean!!! And, uh, pregnancy is never easy! Oh and my girlfriend's doc told her to have a beer about 1/2 way through because she was having contractions, and he said that would calm the baby down, so if a beer is okay, I am sure a weeee bit of caffenine, but hurt ya. (we always name our Turkey on Thanksgiving, usually it's Tom, but sometimes I get creative...) :evil: Oh and I am so glad you are back!!! 8)

Patie - Your boss is freakshow! I cannot believe you were asked to work! I am a huge TV fan!!! I love Grey's you need to get back on the wagon chick-a-dee! Tell me when you are caught up and we can chat about it!!!! And they are doing a spin off called Private Practive with Addison... we we'll need to talk about that too!!! What else do you watch? I watch alot!!! (Survivor, The Amazing Race, How I Met Your Mother, Grey's, CSI, StarGate, Atlantis, Desperate Housewives, ummm... there's probably more, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head)

Nicki - I totally understand what you are saying about kids, it's funny, we have a standing date with our friends every Thursday night, we watch Survivor, and the boys play on the computer, and they have a 2 year old, most of the time he's great - but sometime we leave and I look at DH and say, WHy do we want this so badly! But most of the time, it's the other way around.

Angie - Best of luck with the move sweetness! My best advice, is to take it one box at a time! I just moved a year ago, and we just now cleaned out our garage... so I totally know what it's like!I have our kitchen design stuff here still - do you want me to mail it to you? Along with the finished product??? We found our cabinet people to be great, but you can always do it The Home Depot way!

Fee- I am the opposite, don't name the fish!! Everytime I name a fish it dies... except for my beta, his name was George, and I had him for years, finally I was cleaning out his fish bowl and I dropped him down the sink - then I felt badly and panicked and I turned on the water - apparently with the gravity thing, that's not a good idea, poor little George! I mean not that you can flush your ticker down the toliet, but anyway that's enough of a ramble.... How's our little Noggin' doing?

Sassy - I hope you are having a great trip - I am totally jealous! Hey, next March, do you want to go with us to Ireland? We are meeting in Dublin and then heading to Shannon? You welcome to join us! :P

I think that's it for now... I miss you guys!

Do we need to send out a search party for Amy, Coco and Wanna???

Hello everyone!

Melissa~ OK...can I just ask how you ever watch Survivor with kids around?? Couldn't do it! Survivor is like my one show that everyone knows not to call much less come over with kids! If we had kids I think I would have to record it and just watch it later. You're a better woman than I am!
I know exactly what you're saying though. Most of the time when we're around kids (especially my niece and nephew because they are so good), it makes it worse for us. It's like a constant reminder of what we don't have. But, every once in a while, you do kind of think wow this isn't so bad. But we all know we really don't mean that otherwise we wouldn't be going through all this craziness!
Speaking of shows...Grey's Anatomy is right up there with Survivor as a favorite. Two hour season finale Thursday...can't wait! And the final three on the Amazing Race. I really hope Charla & Mirna don't win. I've been wanting them off for a long time now and they just keep making it!
I am getting sad though. I keep telling dh, I always hate when all my shows come to an end at the same time. After they're over it's like ok now what?

Patie~ How's the new boss treating you girlie?!
I have my fingers crossed for your new magazine. You and dh will do great. I think it's nice that you two get to work together like that. Is he planning on quitting his job anytime soon, or is he going to wait for a while to see how it does?

Sassy~ I hope your trips going good. We'll need a full report as soon as you get back!

Vicky~ You hangin in there?

Jenn, Angie~ How are ya?

I definitely think we'll have to send out a search party for Wanna, Coco, and especially Amy.

Nicki - Oh don't you worry your little heart! Harrison goes to sleep at exactly 7:59! So we watch it after he goes to sleep, if we miss the re-cap, then I am okay.... but I need to watch it in the quiet, because I don't want to miss anything! :wink: OH and Grey's I cannot believe we are the season finale already! And Hero's last night! It was mind-blowing!!! And you're right, we wouldn't go through all this is we didn't want a child more than anything on God's green earth, but still it's nice to have Harrison there, and then leave, and not have to worry about anythign at home- except the dog and make sure he's gone out and done his business 8) But then again, I want more than anything to worry about a child - that is going to come!!! DARN IT! :o

So two more days until my Salmonella test! I am calling it that, because I got Salmonella poisoning from rotten eggs one Easter, so between us sista's that is what it shall be called heretoforth! :) And then the funness of the Colonoscopy and Endoscopy! Hooray!!! I should give you ladies my email address so you can keep me busy Monday morning (which would be your Monday afternoon) you can email me while I am prepping for the procedure! Do you mind?

Search party worked!!!

Hi Ladies! Taking a break from work. GEESH…this is ridiculous!! I’m taking a break! Screw them. I miss my sisters! :wink:

Vicky—WOW, only 6 more days until your prego test? How do you feel? I remember back when we were wishing for your AF to come before the cruise. That feels like yesterday. That absolutely sucks that your boss sent you work home. WTF?? What’s the point of asking for off if she/he was going to ask you to work? You didn’t say, “can I work from home”? You asked for the day off. Some people are complete idiots and only care about themselves. ARGH! Stay away from the evil HPT! I command you!

Sassy—Hope you are having a fab time on your trip. I so wish I could go somewhere. DH and I were trying to plan a trip for Memorial day but flights are so expensive. ARGH..looks like we will be at home and saving the money towards our anniversary trip in July. Sorry about SIL, that sucks. I hate when people do that. I also hate when I’m the last to find out about crap and I have to call people and ask them about their news when they should have been the one calling me to tell me! BIL—Is a complete mess. Someone needs to write a book about his escapades. It would probably be a best seller. It could be a self help book. Call it..:”What not to do when hooked on drugs!” I loved your rant about the constellation prize. I think we all have felt that way one time or another. Back before the IVF DH would say to me, we’ll just keep traveling until you get pregnant. Now that I am pregnant we are re-evaluating travel plans. A least for right now. But who says you can’t have both. I still plan to travel once the kids get here. Granted it would be as often and to the same places but hey…Disney World can be fun for adults also. Or we can dump them on the grandparents and take a trip to Hawaii or Paris. Where there is a will there is a way. Life changes after children but it doesn’t end. Enjoy your travel and continue giving those ferts (am I allowed to call people ferts? lol) your response! I love the response to Miss K. It was classic.

Fee—Glad to hear Noggin or Noggella is doing well. I know what you mean about bad apple coworkers. I love my coworkers except for one. She is so inappropriate. She asks the worse questions and always has a comment. Mostly everyone at my job knows I’m pregnant but I refuse to tell her or anyone who works closely with her. I’ve been forced to wear big clothes because of her. I in no way what so ever want her to know that I am pregnant right now. I can’t handle 6 months of her questions. Even when I am too big to hide it, I'll still probably tell her "NO" if she asks if I'm pregnant. maybe I can just tell her I ate a big breakfast or lunch....everyday? :oops:

Jenn—Loved your drug song! Are you excited to be shooting up again? Awwwwwwww, those were the days. Feel like just yesterday I was walking around with black and blue marks on my legs. Well I noticed you were in USA. I can see how a trip to Florida wouldn’t be as enticing as an international trip. I totally agree. That would mean that you will be going to Florida twice, huh? Hmmmm, do you think DH’s family would reconsider?

Meg—How is the little girl of yours doing? I can’t believe you are already 20 weeks. Time flies. I know what you mean about not being able to hang like you use to. I guess we aren’t the Spring chickens we use to be. But ahhhhhhhhh, the memories. Whew, I don’t have any regrets. I’m so glad I got it all out of my system. I don’t want to be the pregnant woman at the party with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Speaking of cigarette’s, that patient needed a slap in the mouth. You should have knocked her so hard that she feel to the floor and everything spilt out of her purse and then stepped on her ciggies. Sorry I have been a little aggressive lately. Not sure what that’s all about. But anyway, the nerve of some people. Doesn’t that just make you sick to your stomach? Some people just take pregnancy for granted. I guess I have a harder time with things like that because it took me so long to get to where I am right now that I wouldn’t dare do anything to jeopardize me or my babies life. Then you have those damn ferts that take baby making for granted and still live their life like they're not even pregnant. BTW…I’m sure your little girl is just fine. It’s natural to be nervous. Especially when you are feeling so good. Have you felt her move yet? I can’t wait for that.

Nickster—I remember my AF after my first failed IVF. It was a biotch! I was in so much pain. Not sure if it was the embies passing out of me, the drugs or what but it was horrible. I hope you start to feel better soon. Take something or try a heating bad. Ohhh, the circus sounds fun. Last year DH and I took our niece. Actually it was DH’s first time ever at a circus (he is the baby of 10, so by the time he came around they were tired). lol We didn’t want to go by ourselves so we took his niece as a decoy. lol It was so much fun. I think we had more fun then she did. I agree on feeling sad when all my shows come to an end at the same time. I hate when they do that. I guess they feel like since it’s summer (at least for us) no on will be watching. But then I am left to watching reruns. Not as much fun. :cry:

Mel—I know I’m late but congrats on the pie contest. You are still a winner in my book. Besides, out of all those pies how did they remember yours! Now you know you should have won. lol BTW…when do we get a copy of the recipes? I love Gray’s too! I am so addicted. Can’t tell who I want more..McDreamy or McSteamy? They are both…McYummy. 8) I am also a HUGE desperate housewives fan. I try to relate the characters to me and my closest friends. It’s 4 of us so I try to figure out who is who. I know kind of corny but it’s fun at times. As of last week I was more like Gabby in my single days but beginning to feel more like the red head (can’t think of her name) since I’m pregnant. Although she’s getting a little feisty now. lol I laughed so hard about your fish George. It probably wasn’t funny at the time but it’s hilarious now. lol Poor George. When are your tests again? I wish you good luck and I would love to email you if I can find time. But I will try my best to email you. I have to make time for my sisters

Angie—I’m so jealous of your new soon to be kitchen. I wish I were redoing my kitchen. Heck, I wish my lazy DH would just paint the damn kitchen. That would be a start. lol

Patie—Ohhhhhhhhhh, you have to catch up on Gray’s Anatomy. They do an encore on Friday nights at 8pm. This Thursday it is a two hour special. I hope I can stay up long enough to watch it. Or I’ll just record it. It’s better that way. No darn commercials. How is the magazine going? How is it working for DH? Getting any fringe benefits…*wink* :P


Me—For those who want to hear. Twins are doing great. Heard heartbeats for the first time last Friday. Wonderful feeling. The heartbeats sounded like galloping horses. One was 164 and the other 175. Not sure what that means. One person told me high heart rates mean girl. Another told me the heart rates were similar so that means same sex. Who knows what means what anymore. But I am anxious to find out what they are. m/s is totally gone. I almost miss it. lol I know I complained about it so much but I felt more pregnant when my head was in the toilet. I felt more pregnant when I couldn’t put the fork up to my mouth without gagging. Now I can eat whatever I want (except eggs and Chinese food). For some reason I don’t like that anymore. lol It’s pretty sad because I use to love Chinese food. But I can eat everything else and my energy is coming back. It’s almost like I’m not even pregnant. I feel too good, that worries me. But everyone did tell me it gets better in the second trimester. Glad that was true for me. Right now going to OBGYN every two weeks and specialist every 4 weeks. I have a couple of fibroids that seem to be growing. I HATE THAT! And it worries me so much! Both doctors keep telling me it’s nothing to worry about but I’m starting to think that doctors tell you that regardless because they don’t want you to worry.

Ok, now for another topic…So when everyone hears we are having twins they give me this shocked look! :shock: They are like WOW..really?!?!? I tell them yup, there is two in there. Then I get the happy face, followed by congratulations, that's awesome..Two in one shot! Or I get the disgusted face and then response of....damn, that's going to be a lot of work. Some people dont know what the hell to say out of there's mouths! Then the next question is, so who’s side does twins run on. I automatically say DH’s because his mom had twins (but one died at birth) and then his sister (who was a twin) had twins. But it’s not that prevalent in his family. Those are the only two sets, well really one. So then I think to myself, should I just tell them we did IVF? Some people I tell and others I don’t. The other day when I responded to someone about twins being on DH’s side of the family, they responded...Oh, I think it’s the woman’s side that decides whether or not it’s going to be twins, not the husbands. I just looked at her with ultimate disgust! :evil: Especially since she said it in front of so many people. I then responded. Guess it really doesn’t matter anyway because we did IVF. Then of course you get the next set of questions. So now I think I’m going to continue responding that twins run on DH’s side of the family. But part of me feels like I’m deceiving people when I tell them that and I don’t tell them about IVF. But then the other part of me feels like it’s none of their freaking business! But then I think about when the babies get here. There are from two different eggs and sperm so they are not identical. All the other twins on DH’s side of the family are identical. Think anyone will notice? lol I’m hoping I have one of each.

Sorry so long but I had to make up for loss time.
