The Sisterhood of the Blue Stilettos

[FionaA]

Geez I'm having a hard time getting on here... everytime I get down to doing some personals some one comes and interrupts me...

So I'll have to be v quick and sorry if I miss anyone!

Angie, trip sounds fantastic but it's about time you got into some more hormones, have you missed them???

Sass great to have you back we missed ya, and spectacular rant, got any more? My mate has worked out that when I'm feeling poorly that gossip is always a good remedy for my ailments. So dish it up please.

And Robbo, your neighbour defies belief. I wholeheartedly agree that she is a Punter. But I think she deserves a Sisterhood punishment of some sort, once (for another punter) we were all going to get in a circle and kick someone with our blue shoes, on another occasion we were going to cover a Punter's house in red pads. I think we need to come up with some sort of punishment for the she devil who lives next door...


Jenn so sorry I missed sending you good wishes for EC. Sound like you didn't need em though... well done and I look forward to hearing your fert report! Yay almsot on 2WW now. The extra pain is probably because of the extra eggs??? More poking around your ovaries I imagine, enjoy the drugs sounds like you are!

Nickster I know what you mean about posting something then losing it, and it always happens to your finest work right???

Vicky, enjoy Argentina, sounds like you are,...mmm Freddo and Pizza mmmm...don't worry about your uncool clothes. As everyone else has said be grateful that they still fit....

Mel thanks for your good wishes, I'm not sure if Noggin is growing big or if it's just me. Even my fat skirts are failing me now... I have my appt with OB GYN tomorrow (the one where I sprint towards the bed and look expectantly at the scanning machine). Am pretty nervous because I don't feel pregnant.

Mego I've found some root beer at my local store and am planning on a float some time soon, looking forward to it. Yummy.

Where is Patie???? Hope you are OK???

Have to rush now, it's dark outside and am still at work, Fee

[jenn]

Hey girls I just got the call... 6 eggs were retrieved, 6 were mature, and ALL 6 FERTILIZED WOW!!! Now I am waiting to get a call as to whether it will be a 3 or 5 day transfer!!

Wish me luck! Going to have lunch with DH to discuss! Talk to you all later!

[Melissa112]

6 & 6!!!!!!!!! That is totally amazingly fantastomical!!!

This is going to be your cycle, I honestly feel it!!!



GO JENN, GO!!!

[hrobinson]

Congratulations Jenn

[sassynlv]

Hidey-ho, ladies.

Jenn: ooooo, what a fab fart report! Congrats!!! So, when do you find out if 3 or 5 day?????

Angie: Your anniv w/e sounds like it was just what the doctor ordered. Glad to hear you had a nice, relaxing time. So no AF, huh? Wait, do we want AF or not? I'm guessing since you are talking about FET in June that we WANT AF to come.... if so, I will start a-jigging.

Robbo: I concur. Simple, simple, simple. do we really give a d*mn if it isn't as extravagant as she wants? Ha! You can probably guess where I would fall on that issue...

Vicky: helllloooooo argentina! Glad to hear you are having a fab time and getting lots of BFF. Probably exactly what you need right now. OK, and Freddo... ummmm salivating! What is your favorite flavor???

Nickster: glad to have you back and yes... this site eats my posts occasionally, too. sucks. Ah, isn't spring fab? spent most of this wkend outside and it was WONDERFUL.

Fee: oooo,ooooo,ooooo, tomorrow, huh? I LOVE the visual i get of you jumping up on the table and taking the us machine in hand. BUT... I was thinking. Stilettos probably won't be feasible for the prego sistas as you all "get along" in months. Blue flip flops maybe?

So... I am being zen and all, keeping my perspective, not allowing IF to define my life. BUT... I feel every once in a while like I could rant. Not that I HAVE to, but why the hell not let it fly????!!! And where else if not here????? But, alas. I've got nothin' today (take heart... one is brewing!).

Finally felt like i was ready to start in July.... now i need to wait until August. Bummer. But... since dh didn't start supplements until last week, it is better to put it off. It would be best for him to be on them for 3 months. So August it is. I will be chomping at the bit by then. No, I mean, TOTALLY chomping at the bit.

Hope you all are well!

[meg12]

Jen--Congrats on the 100% fertilization rate! Very impressive. Can't wait until we get those babies back in ya! Will they transfer 2?

Fee--I'm so excited that you're going to try a root beer float! And woman, ditch the normal clothes already. Maternity clothes are officially the most comfortable things you will ever wear. I mean, why do we need a waist line with zippers and crap? I might just wear them forever! Stop the suffering already! And good luck with the scan!

Sassy--Well, you'll have a drug free summer at least. And you can have a beer or two on the 4th of July...Okay, those are really crap reasons. August will be here before you know it. Geez, I guess I can only talk in cliches today!

Well, I'm off!

[Melissa112]

Holy Crapoly, I am SO exhauted!!!

[jenn]

Hey~ transfer is tomorrow at noon. So while you are all enjoying your lunches think of me! I'll be laying on a table showing my junk to the world with a FULL BLADDER!!

Paints a lovely picture doesn't it?

They will be transferring 2 hopefully.

[Melissa112]

OH Jenn, I am so excited for you! Of course I'll be thinking of you, and your full bladder - I am so excited for you!!! Let's make those embies GROW, GROW, GROW- and then get all snuggly in there!!! Hooray!!!!

Fee- You need to promise to let me know how you LOVE that root beer float!!! (Oh and it's not Sassaphrass, it was Saspirilla, that I meant to say.... duh!) And I aggree with Meg, start wearing Maternity clothes, just do it! You'll love them!!!!

Sassy - Why are you moving it to August? But either way, we could be cycling together! It just depends on what happens with the Clomid Challenge! And having a beer at 4th of July sounds delish! Hee hee!

Vicky - Hooray for Argentina!!! I am so glad you are having a great time!!! And Freddo sounds amazingly amazing, and I am totally jealous!!! I hope that you are having some therapeutic retail therapy!

Nick - I have made a habit of coping my posts, so that if they disappear I have them to paste back into the box... because you are so right, it stinks!

Meg- I hope you are doing well!!!!

I know I missed some of you, sorry! I am just pooped!!! I worked all weekend, from 6AM until 7PM, and I a exhausted! I need to just stay comfy, have a bowl of cereal to go with the Jordon Almonds I ate for an appitizer! I cannot wait to head to South Florida and see the twins!!!!

Hugs and Kisses to ya'll!

Wowsers Jenn 6/6 is a fantastic result. I'm almost off home so I'm guessing it won't be long before your big moment (and so beautifully described by you). The thing I found most horrific about the whole ET thing was that they were not satisfied only to have me spreadeagled on the stirrup bed but that they also needed to light up the "area" with some of the most unforgiving harsh lamp lighting that i've ever seen. What the hell was that for? It's not like anyone was doing microsurgery down there... Anyhoo good luck tomorrow, have you arranged appropriate foot apparel, I hope so, it is a sisterhood founding principle....

Zen Sass enjoy the tranquility while it lasts....I've been reading about your journey to Zen on your blog and I have to say I'm very impressed. By the way what supplements is DH on??? I can well imagine that you will be raring to go by August but you may as well enjoy the break while it lasts. It seems a long time away but I'm sure it will come quickly...It will be cool if you can cycle at the same time as Mel...

Mel, sorry to hear that you are so knackered, you are obviously working far to hard. Stop it and stop it now! You are making me ashamed of my own lazy ways....And as far as the root beer float goes...I'll get to that later...

Mego, Man I would love to ditch my normal clothes but I have a slight problem in that I haven't told most of my colleagues about my "condition." I've had a few suspicious glances at my fat gut but no one has had the cohones to say anything...I'm not gonna tell them until after my 20 week scan. For some reason I feel like if I tell people something bad will happen, so right now I'm keeping my mouth shut...So, I'm trying to put off wearing the maternity gear until after 20 weeks ...otherwise it will be a dead give away.

Now for the Noggin Report. I had an appt with my GP this morning because I wanted her to check out a lump in my left BB (Luckily she thinks it is nothing untoward - BIG Relief!!) I also got the results of a urine test that I did a couple of weeks ago when I went in on a Sunday because I was having these weird pains. Anyhoo turns out that I had sugar in my wee which apparently could mean diabetes...Well I was less than impressed with myself and immediatley thought about all of the icecream and chocolate that I have been having lately....

Then I went to my OB GYN appt and had my wee tested again. BIG Relief no sugar this time. Nevertheless it was a wake up call for me and I have resolved to stop eating as much crap. I will some how have to to factor a Root Beer float into the equation. I think I will have to share it with DH to minimise the damage...

I'm pleased to say that I did not have to put my Scan Plan into action as I was offered one. It was good to see Noggin although the little beast was facing away and I could not see his face. OB GYN is 80% sure that Noggin is a boy! I'm really happy and relieved...Over and out for Noggin.

Oh well I hope all of you ladies are well, and Mel I think it might be time to send out a posse for Patie....

[hrobinson]

Hey guys...need your help again.
I start Lupron today. So, possibly crazy witch here she comes. Anyways, the doctors office never told me "when" to do it. Do I do it in the morning, afternoon, night...does it matter?

Thanks

[meg12]

Robbo--Sorry, I was never on Lupron, so I can't help you with that one. Hopefully it's not a big deal on the time--you'd think if it mattered the doctor would have been more specific!

Fee--I understand exactly how you feel about telling people. I still cringe a little each time. And I was really pissed at Mother's Day because my family gave me all of these presents. I think they thought I was crazy when I burst into tears and yelled at them for "jinxing me". Hmmm. I'll just blame that one on the hormones!!!!!!!!

Hope things are going well for you, Jenn! I guess it's a little early, but you're probably at the hospital!

[sassynlv]

Sorry, Robbo... this is probably too late to be helpful. I did my lupron in the morning. But if they didn't tell you... you should be ok either way.

Meg: oh, i think i would have felt the same way with the "jinx". We get so superstitious through this whole IF mess. I now wish i hadn't given any irl friends or family my blog address... that way i could go months without them knowing if i ever do get knocked up.

Mel: I would LOVE IT if we are cycling at the same time. I can't bear to join a cycling thread again (at least at this point), but it would be nice to have a little company.

Fee: DH has been a great sport. He is taking antioxidants, folic acid, zinc and some bark thing.... Yum. He also stopped drinking stuff with artificial sweetners (he initiated this). He was drinking around 6 a day, and long time ago i wanted him to stop (figured it couldn't be healthy in general). There really isn't any data i am aware of re: male infertility and the sweetners, but he decided to stop just in case. Again, nothing to lose, huh? Glad to hear you didn't have to wrestle OB to floor to get scan. BUT you will definately need to have a chat with Noggin about facing away from "us".

Jenn: so what is the news?

Ummmmm. Nothing new here. Except, I suppose for my fugitive garbage can. We have one of the big ones that the trash company lets us rent. And, well, it disappeared yesterday. All of our neighbors have ones that look the same. I didn't realize until this am that ours was missing (dh had put it out yest for trash day). So after some crack detective work i tracked down the little bugger. Like four houses away. Huh? I think our garbage hauler is on meth.

[Angie65]

glad to hear you have located your errant wheelie bin Sassy (another Aussie-ism for you! ) - honestly, the cheek of some people! Perhaps you should paint an indentifying blue stilleto on it , then you will quickly find out which of your dodgy neighbours has nicked it!

Fee - tell the young lad Noggin to rotate at once and not turn his back on the sistas! Glad to hear everything else is looking good.

Hi to all - Jenn have you had ET ? Look forward to hearing your update.

[Melissa112]

WOW! I am still exhausted - I hope that this minor little retreat to see the twins helps with that - YA right, what am I thinking... a weekend with twin babies that are 9 months old, relaxing... not so much - but at least it's not the office!

Fee- NOGIN!!!! I am so excited I can barely stand it! Woooo Hooo!!!!!!!!!!! They do have alot of Maternity clothes that dont' look like prego clothes... Brittany in my office is wearing them and I have to ask her if those are Maternity clothes, because I can't tell! So maybe it would be worth the try.... maybe? (and a diet Root Beer Float would be okay too... maybe use real Root Beer and light ice cream?)

Angie - What going on in your neck of the woods, chick-a-dee?

Jenn- How'd the transfer go??? I've been praying like a crazy nun for you!

Sassy- It would be WAY cool if we could cycle together!!! That would make it all the better for me! And don't worry we dont' have to join a cycle thread - just stay here and hang out! I saw you jumped onto the "Awaiting Treatment" thread - it's a huge group, I have a hard time keeping up! I think that your neighbor stolled your garbage... hey maybe your neighbor's on meth!

Meg- I think you shouldn't worry about the jinx'ingness - I know it's hard, and I'd probably be the same way, so I should talk - so I'll shut up now.

Robbo- Wish I could help on the Lupron... but we did it in the PM, so you should probably do it whenever is better for you if the Dr. didn't specifiy.

I am officially starting a search party with dogs for Patie and Amy!!! This is not good, ladies, if our sisters are falling off the planet and we can't find them - well, this is just not good at all!

I don't know what kind of internet access I'll have over the next 4 days, I'll try to pop in when I can!

Love to ya'll!

Mel
