Hey girls,

Thank you for your condolences on my toe. The top of my foot is black and blue as well. As for the sock in the stirrups - I can't fit my foot into my tennis shoe. It is a little swollen, but mostly the pressure of the shoe hurts it too bad. What should I do? Bring socks in my purse and put them on when I take my flip flops off? I wonder if the nurse will notice...she comes in with flip flops on, but wears socks in the stirrups, hmmm. OOO- I'll wear socks with my flip flops!! 8) cool. Problem solved...

Ok- AF started this morning. So I call tomorrow because you are supposed to call before 10 am if you start on a weekend. I didn't start till noon. So I will start stimms Tues. or Wed. depending on when they count Day 1.

I am worried because I am not really excited about doing this. I'm not negative about it. I just feel like "whatever, i'm doing IVF...again" Is that normal? I'm not super positive. Not super negative. Just "whatever". Like it's a normal month. I worry that if I don't get pumped up, it won't work.
Jenn

Jenn~ Wow that toe is posing a major problem! Oh..just wear the flip flops and be up in the stirrups with your bear feet. By then it will be a beautiful shade of purple to show off! I wouldn't worry much about it.
As far as not worrying much about the cycle, that might be a good thing. Maybe that way of thinking won't have you quite as stressed out. You'll probably get more into it once things get started. Let us know what they say tomorrow.

Helloo ladies,

Well I've only just arrived at work having spent the morning in bed worrying about pains I am having. Spent a couple of hours at my GP's office yesterday and was seen by a Dr (not my usual) who misdiagnosed my neighbour's lung cancer. I have to say I lacked confidence in him. Anyhoo tried to get hold of my OB this morning but no luck today....oh well in the midst of all that the pain went away and I calmed down. I think I am developing a real anxiety problem here. I may have to see someone about how to calm the hell down...

Now Jenn I'm very sorry to hear about your toe but delighted to see that your first priority is looking good in the stirrups. As I'm sure you are aware good footwear is one of the founding principles of the sisterhood. In your special circumstances socks will have to do. Not any old socks though make them special. My husband just bought me a pair with little blue bats on them if you need some inspiration, let us know what you come up with.

Ange, well no AF, Yay PCOS. I'm hearing you on not wanting to be on drugs, it's damned nice to not have all that crap bouncing around in the body enjoy it while it lasts...as far as Noggin goes, yeah I will try to find out the sex as soon as poss, I'm pretty impatient...

Patie, I'm felling your pain, there is NO WAY I could work with DH, we would have the most horrible domestics having to spend that much time together. Funnily enough my DH thinks that working together would be great, I don't share that view...

Nickster, sorry to hear you are falling apart....that's no good. I remember getting my 1000's of blood test results back prior to IVF with some of them coming back not so good. I felt really bloody clapped out after that... As far as solar houses go, we only have solar hot water but when we do our renovations I want to solarise everything, we get a lot of sun here and in the right season can produce excess energy which can be sold back to the power company...sounds pretty good to me...very green.

Mel, how are you going? If I recall correctly it's horrible test day. Good luck and let us know how you go...

VICKY!!! I hope that damned AF Stayed the hell away, please let us know when you have your news in. Wishing you the best of luck.

Helloo to all the other sisters!

Fee

Happy Monday (and I think Tuesday, already to some of you?)

I am soooo tired today! But I miss you guys, so here we go!

Vicky - I am praying for you chic-a-dee! I know that the HPT keeps coming back negative, but we all know those are EVIL! :evil: So please, please, please keep us posted, okay!

Patie - Sorry DH is in Yamen, when does he come back? I work in the same office as DH and I have to say we are some of the few, but we are totally okay with it, in fact some days I barely see him! I think George's dad died a while ago, like in the begining of the season...(maybe 6 or 7 episodes...)

Fee- I agree with Patie, I think that Yoga will definately help, and they have Mommy to be Yoga! Where are your pains? Did you get ahold of your OB? Are they sharp, dull? Talk to me goose! (oh and my test is Next Monday, but thanks for thinking about me!) You are a stronger woman than I, I couldn't handle no hot water, I wash my hands with hot water, I brush my teeth with hot water, I take a bath with hot water - yeah, I'd officially need to be comitted!

Jenn- Are your toe, and my toe related, what going on? Your poor thing!!! I am so excited that things are getting started for you! Yippeee! (and uh, socks with flip flops, I might have to come up there and beat you up - please dont' do that) I think you need to read The Secret again, stay positive, but don't be over cofident, and you'll be good! OH and I do think you broke it! You need to tape it to the other toe next to it! Keep it taped up!! You poor thing!!! And yes, NO MORE CLEANING! Whiskey is pretty cute, huh!

Nicki - Harrison is pretty cute, but don't worry, he really doesn't interupt Survivor! Honest to goodness! Nicki, what are we going to do with you? I hope it's not a Kidney Stone, but I hope you are okay! You poor thing!!

Meg- I tell DH all the time that he might want to trade me in on a new model, and I am not even pregnant yet! Take your vitamins, please! Or I will have to send you some kids chewables!

hrobinson - I wasn't happy with Grey's either, too much Addison stuff, they could have kept it an hour if they didn't throw all that background stuff in there about all those other people! I am so sad for Meredith, poor thing!

Wanna - How are ya!

Amy - HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

Oh, and I was thinking this morning, I am doing to need to do some major cleaning up down there for the thing next week... I mean even though they are going to be working on my back side... I mean they are going to have to see what's going on the other, right?

Well, I am still exhausted... gotta get some work done...

Kisses to ya'll!

XXOO!

Mel :)

Thank you all very much for your support, you have been great and you helped me a lot along the way. But unfortunately it is a BFN for me......I am crushed here....
I am going to be taking a couple of weeks off the boards I think, and then I am going to be starting IVF #3.....

Hope you are all doing good.....
