The Sisterhood of the Blue Stilettos

Mel: sorry you are feeling crappy. I'm thinkin' you wouldn't be human if you didn't feel like this at some point (or maybe I just say that b/c I feel this way alot lately). See what happens. If it is PMS and you are feeling better. Cool. If not... maybe you need more time? Either way, we are here for you. Hmmmm. maybe a BLUE SPARKLEY pedicure will make the dildocam appts a little easier to swallow

Will be back, but right now I am off to run around like a blue arsed fly-- running errands during lunch hour. (nice use of Aussieism, no?)

Hi Mel - how are you feeling - better I hope. You feel exactly how I felt a week ago - now I feel better - nothing changed - circumstances, situation just the same - just the mood changed. It's a crazy life for us on the IVF journey. Go and do something nice for yourself.

Well had my 2nd "not part of the cycle" scan today and Dr D said lining was 6mm - which I've done all on my own. So now he wants to see me again on Monday. I'm not sure what is happening but I seem to be on a thaw cycle heading towards FET without too many drugs so far -so got to be happy about that. Think I need to get to 8mm for the transfer.

Just spent a Sat looking at bathrooms and tiles - we are going to have to start making some decisions soon. We get the keys to our new place in a week.

Had a few drinks out last night with friends - lots of our single friends which is always good fun. Very little baby talk - good again. Late night so now I am shattered and looking a night on couch with DVD. Mmmm - wonderful.
have great weekends sistas

Angie: yeah, whatever is going on, it sounds pretty good. Glad to hear you had a night of non-baby related chatting-- always good for the soul! Wow! you get your new digs next week? I will be anxious to hear what you do to the place.

So we are blowing this joint again. Off to Iceland and (what I hope will be) great hiking. 21 hours of daylight... not bad. Maybe I can shed those last stubborn pounds....

Hope you are all well... especially Mel and our 2ww princess Jenn (GOOD LUCK!!!!). I expect to have intermittent access, so will check in soon.

Ciao!

Thanks guys! I am still moody - I am ready to start a fight with DH - I need to get over myself.

I am working on the menu for dinner - trying to avoid him - I think he's avoiding me too. He can do no right, unfortunately I think he knows that, even though he's being SO SUPER understanding. I am just well, being a *****.

Sassy- I am so jealous that you are heading to Iceland now! I need pictures and a complete food report. 21 hours of daylight sounds incredible! (although makes it tough to get a good night sleep unless you can block it all out) Have a great time for us, please!

Angie: Sounds like you had a great night! I love those!!! Definately the right dose of medicine! I am so excited that next week is when you get your keys!!!! That is so fantabulous!
Sounds like things are moving along beautifully for you, and they have you on the fast track!!! 6mm's all by yourself! You deserve a cookie!!!! Or a PIE!

Sassy - Your blog feels like you are writing vicariously through me! It's my feelings that you are pouring out onto the web, I love it! It makes me laugh, it makes me cry - I love you! Maybe blue sparkles are just what the doctor ordered! The blue arsed fly is fantastic! A one legged man in a butt kickin contest is a good southern expression too!

Vicky - Thanks for the pick me up - I don't know what's wrong with me, I am just ready to quit... maybe it's the, well I don't know... I am sure it's PMS - it'd better be PMS! Shopping might be just what the Dr. ordered... It's already 2PM, but I just might head out and go for it! Maybe... Publix might be the shopping of necessity! Darn it!

Jenn - You are in my thoughts and prayers! I hope you are doing great!!! Did you cave into the EVILLLLLL HPT??? As long as you are my DD - let's do it!

Thanks guys for being there for me!

Maybe I should shower and head shopping?

Hey girls-

Sassy- have fun in Iceland! Sounds great! Can't wait to see pictures! Especially yours- they are always so good. They look like postcards. You must like photography.

Angie- Sounds like your house is coming along. Are you excited? I love picking out new things! Glad to hear your lining is good.

Mel- I hope you are feeling better. Don't be too mean to DH, you may need him to help you carry all your shopping bags in and he may not wanna if you bite his head off!

Anniversary dinner last night was fab! Had a huge meal and ate all my dessert like a good girl. It was a piece of warm chocolate cake with ice cream on top and the ice cream was covered in chocolate that made a hard shell over the top. YUMM!!! Had to go home and put on my stretchy pants!! I am feeling very bloated lately. I think I will cave and do HPT tomorrow morning. I'll let you know if I do!

Have a good Saturday!

Oh Jenn, I am so anxious to hear your results. I hope that you do a HPT so I don't have to wait for two weeks to read your results. (headed to out-laws for 2 weeks and won't have internet access).

Update on me...some good...some bad...lots of unknowns. So, I had an us on Friday and I was really prepared to have cysts and be postponed for a week. The dr. came in, did a scan, told me to get dressed and he would see me in the hall. Said nothing during the scan. So, I get dressed and they put me in another room. DR came in and said no cysts. YEA!!! However, he said that there was evidence that I had endo. developing in my ovary. I almost started crying as a year ago they detected the endo, but told me not to operate. He said not to worry, he thought I could go ahead and stim, but I would need to talk to my dr. who is a super specialist with this type stuff. So, waited around for him and he gave me two choices: a. I could put off the whole cycle for at least a month. He said that maybe the mass they were seeing was blood left over from an ovulation. Or it could be endo. He said by waiting a month he would be able to tell pretty sure which it was.
or we could b. continue with the cycle. The problem with continuing was if it was endo, then there was a change that I wouldn't produce as many folicles as he would like. But he said as long as I produced 2, they would proceed.
They did not feel I should remove the endo because of all the operations I have had and by doing so removes blood from the ovaries, causes scar tissue, and would lessen my chances.
Being such a "planned" person, this just got my "panties all in a wad". Then it made me even madder when he wouldn't "recommend" which way to go. DH said that we were 99% sure it was endo, as I know my body and have had all the signs. So, he said let's go ahead and see what happens. WE have already been blessed with a dd, so if it doesn't take it's not the end of the world (easy for him to say, he's not being pumped with hormones). So, we decided that if it doesn't take, we will not try again, but instead head into another operation to have endo removed AGAIN!!!
SO, we started stimming today. Went pretty good. It was tough going from 1.0 mg of Lupron to 300mg of Gonal F. That sure was a lot. I just hope and pray that those folicles GROW, GROW, GROW!!!
I just have to remind myself that if it is meant to be, it will be. I Have been having a lot of dreams lately that I had a baby boy. HMMMM Anyone on here analyze dreams?

I know I am horrible...not able to do any personals tonight. DH is out spending quality time with his dad...just about killing him to do so...thought I would be able to play on the computer, but dd is asking me to come sleep with her. There will be a day when she doesn't want this, so must take advantage of it while she wants me to do it.

Hugs to everyone. Know that even though I am unable to post often...for 2 weeks...you guys are all in my thoughts and prayers. I feel as though you gusy are part of my family:)

Umm...girls....are you awake? I did the HPT this morning and it was positive.

I'm sitting here with my heart pounding and I don't know what to think. For some reason now i'm a little scared? I thought I would be jumping for joy, and I am excited, but a little shocked i think...

Need to go let this settle in.

vicky77 · Post by **vicky77** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 2:28 pm

Jenn... OMF**ingG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, today is Sunday, so HCG should be out of your system since they are testing tomorrow, so I guess you are PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

, keep doing them, I want to see the collection of positive HPT's by tomorrow!!!!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!, congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robbo.....I am sorry that you had to go through all that, I am not sure if you are going to be able to read this post or if you already left to your out-laws. I am glad you decided to go forward with your cycle, I guess I would have done the same thing, once I have something on my mind nothing can stop me, so we will all be here cheering for your follies to grow!!!!!!!!!, keep us posted!!

Mel.....it's ok to be a beotch once in a while, it's even fun I guess, but try not to fight with DH because in the end you will end up feeling even worse, at least that is what happens to me.

Sassy....have you headed to Iceland yet??, have a great time and take tons of pictures!!!!!

See you guys later

Jenn! That's so awesome! Have you done any more? Isn't it the best to finally see a positive on one of those suckers? And I know what you mean about being scared---the worry and fears just get worse as the months go along, unfortunately. But I am so so so so happy for you!

Angie65 · Post by **Angie65** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 11:21 pm

Jenn - how exciting - sounds like BFP to me - HPT one day before blood test is definitely allowed. Fantastic!

Robbo - sorry for scan news but good for you to make the decision and start simming again. Scans are horrible - mine always end up giving me unexpected news too and through me into a tizzy. Good luck with the stims.

Sassy - another holiday - you are so lucky - have a great time in Iceland and enjoy the hiking. Can't wait to see the pictures - am sure the scenery will be amazing.

Hi Fee, Mel, Meggo, Vicky and anyone else I've missed.

I'm officially in thaw cycle now - pioneering follicle has given up its work so lining remains at 6mm. That's ok - would have been a miracle to do it all naturally! So I am now pumping estrogen (8mg a day) with another scan to measure lining on Friday. FET should some time next week. As long as there are no nasty hidden surprises/problems I think I can handle this cycle without going toocrazy. Fingers crossed.

vicky and angie- THank you so much for the kind words. IVF is such a trying time, so it means so much to have such wonderful women to "talk to". As my sis said, if I didnt do this now, 10 years down the line I would probably be wondering what if....
So, thanks to you ladies for the support.

Off tomorrow for more fun and adventure...it always is adventurous at the out-laws (Jenn- I just love that phrase). When I return I hope to be on the 2ww. Take care ladies. Lots of hugs and prayers your way.
