Mel...That story was crazy. I can't even imagine. Talk about having all your eggs in one basket and then having that basket squashed! I'm so glad it worked out for her!
Fee--Yeah, I'm doing better today. Every day is a mystery as to how crazy I'll be, but today seems to be pretty low on the meter. So far, so good anyway. So how big is your belly? You feeling pregnant? How much is he kicking you?
Well, back to work!
The Sisterhood of the Blue Stilettos
Hey Mel-
What a great success story! Even though it didn't go so well at first, which sounded like it sucked for them. I'm glad it worked out.
We are reading a book called The Friendships of Women. It is kind of like a Bible study/book club. There are discussion questions and you have to read from the Bible. Which I have never done on my own. Read the Bible I mean. I like it and I don't. My friends are all a different religion and they are very familiar with all of the verses and I feel stupid. I joke that as a Catholic, I really don't read the Bible, because growing up I really didn't. I don't really agree with everything the author says either so, I kind of just sit and listen.
Oh well, I tried to broaden my thinking, it isn't really working. Maybe next book will be better!
Time to go fold laundry...FUN!!
have a great day!

Hey there girls...
Mel: quite the story!!! i cannot even imagine how pissed off I would be if my dh's only sperm saved were all warm and decomposed. btw... after having s3x lately (much fun I have been having, thank you very much
), dh laments the sperm that end up on the towel or sheets. "They don't even have a chance", or "Just prop your hips up just in case". Simmer down now, Tiger... I am on BCP!!!! AS IF ALL WE NEED IS A FEW SPERM IN MY HOOHAH FOR ME TO GET PREG. Apparently, 40 unassisted failed cycles hasn't convinced him that we are INFERTILE. Ah, blissful denial 
Robbo: your neighbor is one f*^&%in' piece of work! Bravo on the silent treatment... sounds like it may be your only option.
Vicky: I hear rumor that dividing embryos LOVE Cheetos (at least that is what I tell myself). btw... they also love Krispy Kreme Donuts
Jenn: pushing of strollers... sounds like fun! Did you go around dreaming of what you will get for your shower? I do that already (pitiful, I know
)
Fee: d*mn carpooler. Any update on the office soap opera???? (A girl needs her gossip).
Meg: have you done the "trying out strollers" yet? Any shower dreaming?????
PUPOs: Oh hang in there, ladies! We will have HPTs flying around everywhere here soon. Philosophically, I believe HPTs are evil by nature
, but that hasn't kept me from POAS'ing every chance I get!
I am in a pissy mood today. No real reason, except that I am feeling sorry for myself. blech. Usually a temporary state. The only 2 irl people I know that have done IVF, both just finished their #1 cycles. Both got BFNs
. BOTH have decided to persue adoption while probably doing one more IVF. They were both like "forget this IVF sh*t, that was hell!". So I am wondering... what the hell am I thinking having put myself through four and looking at two more (actually both of them asked me the same question)? And with not even a chemical to give me a little hope.
What the hell am I doing??????
Ok, end of self-pity-party for today.
ciao!

We just went out for Birthday Lunch (one of the girls in the office) now I am tired and I don't want to work...
Sassy- I know it's that crazy! That story just amazes me... DH said that they should have taken them for more money, I mean those are just your only chances of having a baby slammed and stepped on like it's garbage... I love the comments from your DH, sounds like mine... the other night when the left overs were on the towel he said "That's why we aren't getting pregnant!" he's such a dork... I love your DH's blissful denial... BUT the s3x is fun!
Jenn - I am reading a book called 12 Extraordinary Women for a woman's bible study, I am in the same place as you though, I've never read the bible either... but I enjoy broadening my horizons! We are in the same boat sista!
Meg- What color did you paint the nursery, did I miss it?
Okay, well I have an appointment that is supposed to be here in 4 minutes, we shall see.... and we are out of toliet paper at the office, my vajayjay isn't liking the whole paper towel thing!
Gosh I am a slacker.... it's my job to keep track of the toliet paper - that doesn't leave me much room to complain huh!
I'll do it anyway!
Love ya!

Sassy- That story really was amazing. I would have been freaking mad had it happened to me. No amount of money brings back those little swimmers. Lucky for them they were able to extract a few swimmers. God was really watching over them.
Jen- that book sounds interesting. I went to a Bible College, even though I was not religious at all. We had to read the entire bible front to back. It really opened my eyes alot. I still don't get so much, but it sure is interesting to look at things in a different way.
I envy you guys for having the time to read. I used to read at least a book a month, but I don't think I have read a book for at least a whole year.
Mel- Paper towels for toilet paper...ugh!!! You better get on the phone quick and get some TP ordered. I think I would start carrying Kleexes to the restroom with me every time I went. HEHEHE

Hi sistas - PUPO Angie here. Great to see all that activity overnight for me to read first thing in the morning, before I even read my emails!
JEEZ, Mel's story about the dud freezer - that is a shocker. Really makes you wonder what goes on behind the scenes.
No symptons for me - feel quite normal. As I mentioned, I am trying to live in the present, not worry about what might happen or what has happened. It is all part of the Zen new me! I might become very irritating soon and be thrown out of the sistahood
Things I am grateful for today include: NO early morning dr's appointments at all on the 2ww - that's got to be a good thing. Also, I am pleased to say that I have got the flattest stomach I have ever had in my life. It must be the acupuncture - I am still eating like a pig and doing very little exercise (winter/cold/busy looking at house stuff excuses), still popping tons of estrogen and progesterone - yet still all my trousers are loose. Amazing!
Sassy - you have often mentioned books that you've found helpful. My counsellor last week lent me a copy of Conquering Infertility: Dr. Alice Domar's Mind/Body Guide to Enhancing Fertility and Coping with Infertility
- it is excellent - I read a few pages at night before I nod off.
Now - on the POAS question. I have decided that I am not going to this time. I don't work in open plan, I have my own office so next Friday I will simply wait for the phone call. Please hold me to this next week sistas if I get tempted! POAS are horrible - one time I woke up at 4am, did the deed and of course then didn't sleep anymore. So a new approach this time - can I do it????
Zen to the sistas - love reading you all.

Happy Thursday, Happy Almost Friday! Whooooot!!!!
Ange!!! I am just so proud of you and your zen'ness! I think that attitude needs to rub off onto some of our fellow sista's (ahem, you know you are are!) I am lovin' this stance you are taking!!! I think it can only send positive'ness to your widdle wombat!! Hooray for flat tummies and great attitudes! And no POAS, that is great too, I think they are sent from Satan, and I don't like them one bit! There is my 10 cents! (and yes, 10 cents, not 2 - inflation!) 
Robbo - I got 48 rolls of TP today! Hooray! Phew! I didn't think my lower end could take much more! Hee hee!
I hope our PUPOs are good! I am praying for you!
So do we put out a job posting for Interim Attorney General?

Hi Mel - glad to hear you are stocked up with TP - an office full of chicks and no TP is never a good thing!
Hi to all the other sistas and PUPO's - Robbo and Vicky - how you hanging in there? Can't believe in exactly 1 week I will know if the wombats have made it. Had a few cramps yesterday but they wore off and now feeling normal again.
What's everyone doing for the w/e? Have acu and then we are meeting a man about our new kitchen - very exciting -we are getting lots of ideas now. Thinking antique white cupboards, bluey glass splashback, timber floors not too sure about the bench top yet - very exciting!
The it's yoga on Sunday - I love yoga and have been doing it for a couple of years. On other 2ww's I refrained - this time I am doing a gentle class. Meant I had to tell the yoga teacher our private business but it's worth it so I don't have to miss out. Another different thing I am doing this cycle...
My single girlfriends have just sent an email about red wine and tapas tonight - guess I 'll have to decline that one though...!
Have a good one everybody.

Hello ladies
Well it's Friday arvo here and I am trying to round out the week with a relaxed approach to work....
Angie I am dead jealous of your new kitchen. I've always wanted a new one but never had one. I have no immediate prospects of tarting my horrendous kitchen up neither. Let's face it I still have no hot water (we are so freaking disorganised). I have told DH to sort that out today as there is no sun expected for the next week and thus freezing showers will be in order. Wine and tapas sounds excellent! When I was last in Melbourne we went to Kanela a Spanish tapas bar in Fitzroy. DH is Spanish so he is always looking for authentic food and he gave this place the thumbs up. On the night we went Getaway was being filmed so we ended up on an episode of that too...Keep up the zen attitude I am amazed and yes Mel it could rub off on a few of us me included. And Meg too...As far as your POAS decision goes, well done! Such a good thing to have your own office. I do but I have glass walls so when I got my BFN I had to retreat to the toilet to hide my eye leakage.
Mel your friend's story was truly awful, what an ordeal for people to go through...I guess labs make mistakes though....Was it you who asked a few posts back about the theme for my nursery??? At this stage I would describe it as "crack den/ warehouse." In other words the "nursery" if you can call it that is piled high with junk. I know we are going to leave everything to the last damned minute as usual...Oh well. As far as employing an interim attorney general I have to say that the departure of our beloved A-G has created a gap in the sisterhood. As an A-G Amy had an excellent ability to become indigant at the slightest affront and was prepared to dish out violent retribution to anyone who insulsted a sister. They are some pretty big shoes to fill I have to say...I wouldn't mind if you stepped up to the plate. your ability to send pack hounds after errant sisters where necessary has not gone unnoticed..
Mego, I am definately looking preg and am in maternity gear 24/7 even my normal tracksuits don't fit....I am just now starting to feel movement more regulalrly which is really nice, Noggin is a bit quiet today which of course worries me. I'm hearing you on the mood swings...I think I might be bipolar...
Jenn you are good having a book club. I haven't even managed to read one book this year. Am still trying to finish off Marley and Me which I got for Xmas. I am far too fond of low brow entertainment and so read magazines relentlessly...I really must try to be more like you!
Sass, the office romance is still going reasonably strong although the partner is not as attentive as my secretary would like. What seems to be the pattern is that they have a S*x fest on the weekend and then barely talk during the week. Wierd I reckon. I know he is still seeing someone else. My secretary is getting progressively more psychotic about that and was ranting that she would have to leave her job because when she checks his diary and sees "private appointment" in it it makes her insanely jealous...I don't see a happy ending for this one but it could get interesting...As for your pity party, welll party on girl. Four cycles is no damned picnic as anyone who has done IVF can tell you. It's no wonder that you're not exactly looking forward to the last two...
Robbo, how are you coping with the 2ww? I hope that you are managing to keep as Zen as Angie, despite your neighbours attempts to undermine your happy state!
Vicky, same question for you??? How are you coping? 7 more days to go. My fingers are still very much crossed for you!
As far as my weekend goes the outlook isn't too fancy. MIL started chemotherapy on Tuesday so I will be doing a lot of cooking to take to their house to see them through the week. DH will do their shopping and cleaning as FIL has Parkinsons which is starting to make life difficult. Hope you are all OK and have better prospects for your weekends!

My secretary is getting progressively more psychotic about that and was ranting that she would have to leave her job because when she checks his diary and sees "private appointment" in it it makes her insanely jealous...I don't see a happy ending for this one but it could get interesting...As for your pity party, welll party on girl. Four cycles is no damned picnic as anyone who has done IVF can tell you. It's no wonder that you're not exactly looking forward to the last two...
Robbo, how are you coping with the 2ww? I hope that you are managing to keep as Zen as Angie, despite your neighbours attempts to undermine your happy state!
Vicky, same question for you??? How are you coping? 7 more days to go. My fingers are still very much crossed for you!
As far as my weekend goes the outlook isn't too fancy. MIL started chemotherapy on Tuesday so I will be doing a lot of cooking to take to their house to see them through the week. DH will do their shopping and cleaning as FIL has Parkinsons which is starting to make life difficult. Hope you are all OK and have better prospects for your weekends!
Fee

Oh ladies... watch your toes. Sassy is on the rampage. Anyone have a problem with a Sassy Rant. No? Well don't say I didn't give you a chance to object !
SOOOOOO, I am too self-absorbed right now to START with personals... so ranting it is...
I recently joined a forum for women of our religion. The reason was 'cuz one of my blog friends who is also my religion just wrote an article for them. She did a great job and I was there to support her. BUT... when I went back today to read what other women have written... I was taken aback
. One woman says she "understands somewhat" what it is like to be infertile because after having THREE children unassisted, she had to have a hysterectomy and can't have more children. Huh? Am I missing something, or is there a BIG difference between wanting MORE children that you had naturally... and going through f*&%^in' hell... and STILL having empty arms???????WTF?????? I think the fact that this woman says such things makes it CLEAR she doesn't have a clue in Hell what infertility is like. Another fertile who shares her story chimed in with her.
My response was very measured as this is not a confrontational board. BUT if one of them says something else... I will be opening a can of whoop-a&&!
Whatever.
Anyway... on to more interesting things...
Fee: Oh yes, the soap operal continues... these flings NEVER end well. Can she not see he is using her for weekend s3x????? I hope your MIL does well w/the chemo. You are quite the dil/son taking good care of them. Good on you.
Angie: d*mn proud of you, my friend! Look at you all zen. Just picked up yoga again. Feeling very inflexible... but every day is a bit better. woohoo on the kitchen... you will have to give us the report. Also, thanks for the book info... sounds like a good reason to wander through a bookstore for a few hours tomorrow!
Mel: girllllll... you have been wiping with PAPER TOWELS??? Owwwwweeeee. Glad to hear you are back to a&&wipes of the softer kind.
Robbo and Vicky: how are the other PUPOs?
I do believe that dh and I will be having a quiet weekend at home... movie and dinner tonight, then up for an early morning yoga, then marathon house-cleaning day. Yipee!
ciao!

Unbelievably ridiculously stupid comment from your church friend lady, Sassy - punter of the month award to her.
And Fee - thanks for the tapas tip - we are moving to the suburb just next to Fitzroy so I will be sure to check it out! Wish I'd known you when you were on Getaway - I would have looked out for you! Sorry to hear about MIL - you are being a very good DIL to them. Hope you manage to get some time for yourself this w/e.
Hi everyone else - I have to go and pick up DH from the freezing cold new house. He has started the DIY with a vengeance - went to Bunnings (DIY shop) and spent nearly $1000 in less than 2 hours. I wonder long it will last! I can't do anything to help at the moment due to being PUPO but I did make him some sandwiches for lunch!

Hello Sistas!!!!!
Sassy.....oooooooo that lady in the church forum!!!!, I agree with Ange, punter award STAT!!!
Ange....I am so jealous, I love redecorating, I would love to move to a new house and do it all over again!!!!!. And your idea of the new kitchen, I loved it (the blue glass tile backsplash sounds fantastic!!), send us pictures when it's done!! About the POAS thing, I am also hesitating whether to do it or not, for the same reason, it is so horrible when it comes back negative that I am afraid of doing it, but at the same time the temptation is just too much, will see how strong I am
Fee...I am so sorry about your MIL and FIL, hope your DH is coping with it the best he can, it must be very tough. When is your due date?
Robbo.....only a couple of days to go!!!!!, are you POAS'ing or not???, how are you feeling???
Mel...I am glad you are stocked up with TP for a whole year now, that is very important
As far as me, I am doing ok, much calmer now than in my prior 2ww, which is much better. I just came back from a BBQ with my friends, they all have babies now, so it was kind of tough, one is pregnant with the second one already (to whose baby shower I am going tomorrow by the way ).............so I am having kind of a baby weekend, hope some baby vibes are transmitted to my embie and he decides to be as them

Vicky- I am so proud of you for doing the whole "baby" weekend thing. You are a strong woman. I am not sure I could handle all that baby stuff with all that we are going through. I am so glad that you are much calmer during this 2ww. At least one of us is. (and its not me)
Angie- How are you hanging in there? It is so hard when we can't help our dh do projects, but it is something we are all willing to do. I am sure that your dh understands and just wants to keep you and your "babies" safe.
Sassy- I agree with everyone else...punter of the month award. It is so sad how ignorant some people are. If they don't know what something is it is just so much easier to keep their mouths shut. It's just like those people who say they understand how hard it is to get pregnant....it took them 2 - 3 months. I just want to shoot those people.
Well gotta run. Planning on POAS tomorrow morning. Please pray that the news is exactly what I want...a BFP!!!! I will keep you guys posted.
