Hi Nims...I was just thinking where you were...still off on vacay or busy busy at work! Yup I POAS for ovulation...the LH surge is detected and that is wut causes you to O...so as soon as I get it I call em, then usually go in the next morning....NO SURGE ALLOWED ON SATURDAY!!! Image
Not quite sure what is worse the creepy baby program of the 938749 lb woman! Personally I like those operation shows :) The ones these days aren't that great, they hardly show a dang thing. There used to be one years ago that was called Operation and it SHOWED everything! Yeh I know I'm twisted like that, but blame my medical background!

I made it to the grocery store (yeah I can once again eat!!!) but I also got to use my food saver a bit...I'm in love Image

It is quite funny how small English Muffins can get with that thing
:lol: :lol: :lol: Do you guys have those there?? Nooks and crannies???

I think my head is gonna explode with every cough now...but this makes me feel better and cracks me up Image

Steph - you're totally nuts, has the cold got to your brain? :D
Well the snow never did arrive , where did you send it? :roll:
It's definately a medical background thing with those tv shows, I love 'em too. Isn't it frustrating when they block out the gory stuff :lol: I want to see what's going on.

Ended up going to the docs today. My cold has turned into a sinus infection so I got amoxicillin. What a treat it is to be exept from prescription charges, I almost forgot about that!

Becky - hope the surgery went ok

Angel - good to hear from you but so sorry about AF's arrival. Remember we're all here for you

Evening Ladies! :)

One day's worth of posts are a much quicker read :)

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on 7 eggies, Angie! They're already growing like crazy!! I had the reverse with my ERs, felt like crap for the first one, 2nd one was a breeze. Funny, you can never tell! Can't wait to hear the good news of all the new little embies you've got! Made a decision on 2 or 3 to transfer?

Angel - Sorry to hear about AF's arrival :( Did you decide to go ahead with the dr's suggestion on the test? Hang in there, hon. Image

Welshgirl/Becky - I'm glad you cleared up the 'pram' issue. I had no idea either! That one photo was definitely disturbing on many levels... :shock:

Jen - How is your dh's dad and your dh?? I hope he is doing better.

Steph - I have to give you a hard time about your southerners comment... I'm from the south, but I won't hold it against you - we do have a reputation for being, well, less than geniuses. Unfortunately, a lot of us aren't very smart - but not ALL! ;) I feel like I've moved to the north most days, but we're still technically below the Mason-Dixon line, regardless of what all the folks from DC/MD/NOVA believe! My mom about had a cow when I came up here and married a "yankee" (what was I thinking?!) ;)
Image

Su - sorry to hear about your sinus infection! It seems to be going around! Nearly everyone I know is sick, including my dh, who has actually taken sick leave for the past two days, which I've only known him to do during his sperm aspiration! Image

UGH, going back to work after over a week off is not fun. Fortunately, in my line of work, we self-generate a lot of what we do, so it's not usually a busy time for us and now is no exception. I can't believe I'm already ready for the weekend though! Thank goodness Friday is almost here. Then I'm going to have to spend the whole weekend putting away Christmas stuff and cleaning - I guess I'll be ready for a "work-break" come Monday! It is just good to be home, though. I loved visiting with my family, but there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed!

Started my "quasi-diet" today... not fun. And I went to the gym, along with the other 350 thousand people in the the metro area who decided to place health and weight loss on their New Years resolutions. joy.

AAARRGH Hope I knew I'd find a Southerner! Honestly I don't make fun of the south as much as I make of the people of Vermont I mean I CAN count all the teeth in that state on one hand! :lol: I just figured no one here would quite get that...sorta like West Virginia haha. Gotta be the been there done that huh :wink: After all isn't Brittney Spears from Louisiana...doesn't that explain it all :lol: But then there are those sweet southern belles...that's what you are huh :wink: we won't see you with your quad "pram" in the Piggly Wiggly? Regardless...good luck on your diet! I hope AF returns then you can get good and fat for the next 9 months!!!!

Angie I'm so sorry you feel like ca-ca! I'll keep in line til you are back...or at least until I get some sleep...such a LOVELY day at work! But yahooooooo 7 little Angies and porn stars!!!! Will be keepin yur little ones in my thoughts!!!! Have you had a moment between pukes to decide how many you are gonna put back ?

Jen- My thoughts are also with your FIL! Have a safe trip and hugs!

Su- of COURSE the cold has gotten to my brain! When I got home from work it was -26 F outside!!! THAT IS -32 to you guys across the pond!!!! Image
Image

I sent the snow! I did I did! Maybe it got side track and went to the Bahamas or St Barth's like any smart person would do this time of year! You take care with that infection! I'm trying to stave that off though I stopped taking the Mucinex even though it thins out mucus and some women take it around O so that even THAT mucus thins out and spermies can get through. I just don't want to take anything if I don't have to...I think a few days off would be better medicine...OH WAIT I don't get time off from hell!!! Maybe we can just watch some operations while layin on the couch :) OOO the best thing I ever saw was a CABG (open heart surgery) I got to stand at the patient's head during the whole thing! SOOOO amazing!

Becky- speaking of operations...how are you???? Image

Ok it is time to crawl into my nice warm bed...is it Sunday at 7pm yet??? That is when my last weekend of hell is OVER!!!!! Then, even though I still work every other weekend (til I get a new job in May!) I don't have to work 11 hr days!!! Nope back to normal 8 hr ones! I may actually get to have a life on weekend...HA who am I kidding, I have no life!

Nite nite
Steph

Morning Ladies :)

Angel: So sorry for ur BFN hun, i didnt see ur message yesterday b4 i had sent mine. We are here for u if u wanna rant and rave hun, take care ok, sending u big hugz xxx

Steph: You did send the snow i know hun - thanks - it came - here!!! Only about 2-3inches so far, but threatens more (thats just a smitten to u i know lol) The kids were out last night in the dark buliding snowmen, i could hear the neighbours wee one's laffing and having snowball fights - awww i so wanted a turn lol. Then Tasha (my 17yr old) decided she was gonna join em, so took pics for me and showed me what it was like lol. An ive got up this morning and there are her boots and gloves and hats and a scarf drying on the rads lol - oh the joys!!

ICSI: Woooooo little lady :D :D :D 7 eggies! Well done you <thumbs up> :D Now u rest up and imagine ur eggies meeting up with ur DH's tadpoles - they are having a wee bit of romance going on, candellit dinner, some sparkling wine (well fizzy pop lol) and in the background u have soft music singing 'lets get it on ooooo baby - lets get it on' .... And lo and behold a child is formed :wink: :wink: see easy peasy lol. Let us know how many 'got it on' im sure u will have enough for a 5 a side footie team :wink: rest up now and take it easy OK! Xxx

Jen: Aw hun, do send our well wishes to ur FIL, i hope he gets better soon, hugz tou and ur DH xxx

Su:Hope ur feeling better soon hun, the whole house hold here had got the cold over xmas, i seemed to get a touch of a head cold but that was all (fingers crossed) its hard too when ur unable to take anything for it. Are u allowed paracatemol? Im sure u can take that being pregnant, check with ur DR, at least it will get ur temp down. Hope it clears up soon hun xx

Nims: Hello hun, how u doing? Hope all is well, sending u hugz xx

Hello to everyone i missed xxx

Thanks for all ur well wishes - i had the 'op' an was in surgery a little longer than expected :o and also have to back for the same procedure in a mths time :( DR said he couldnt do it all in one go as there would be a risk of incontinence!!! Ya see ladies, i have an absess near my back passage (stop laffing lol - it hurts!!) ive had it on and off since Dec 2001, but now its got much worse, is too close to the musscle so DR has to be carefull not to do any damage, hence the reason i have to keep going back by the looks on things! Anyway, im not in too much pain at the moment (still high as a kite actually lol) but have never felt like this after the other op's (last one was July 2006) i was light headed and feeling sick, just wanted to die lol. Still, here i am to tell a tale, DH (Love his cotton socks) tried to run around me all evening but i just wanted to be left alone to sleep.
Talking of sleep, i can feel the tiredness setting in again ladies, and my arse is begining to get a wee bit sore (hense i cant sit for too long in front of pc - must rem to borrow DH lap top later as he is off work to be able to pamper me lol) so will love u and leave u for now ..... bbl at some point today, DH will have to get milk & bread from the shop later as we are out, and the way people go mental when we have one snowflake is bad enough, i bet the shop will be bloody full of all the old folk stocking up - isnt it always the same!!
Right, im outta here, take care ladies - talk to u later,
Love

Becky Xxx

Becky! OMG I hope your bung hole heals FAST!! Of course being pampered is nice! Maybe if you do start feeling better, you can pretend you aren't so you can milk it a little longer (I mean afterall he already took the week off what else does he have to do right :lol: ). And yup it takes just a few flakes to get the flakes out on the streets!!! Even here when they think we will get a foot people are out in droves stocking up like they will be snowed in til June!!! Image

Angie Angie wakey wakey!!! Let us know how the wee ones are???

Well ladies, I'm on pins and needles today. I woke up and peed...my surge is STARTING!!! I even peed twice within an hour and 2nd one is pretty dark...they usually tell you to wait 4 hrs to pee. So I called and got voicemail
:cry: I'm like PLEASE someone said you'd try to get me in before work today (at 2...but I could probably get away with going in a little late today) cuz I can't go tomorrow! PLEASSSSEEE hurry up and call me back!! Now I'm a friggen stress ball and that isn't good I know!

Thought I'd check in this morning, as opposed to the late night hours I usually keep.

Welshgirl - Sounds like your surgery went more smoothly this time than last - it's atleast a good thing you're not feeling like poo - high as a kite is definitely much more preferred over wanting to die! I hope they were able to get a good portion of the problem resolved and next mth's will be even easier! Rest up and enjoy the pampering from DH!! I hope you're comfy - I just imagine you sitting on an nice cushy donut (do you have those? - the round soft thingys (shaped kind of like a toliet seat) you can sit on? They were sure helpful for me when I broke my cocyx bone (8th grade, don't ask). :shock:

Steph - I've never been to Vermont, but I have heard stories about some of the folks from there (my FIL lives in NH). I went to WV once and thought I heard the music from Deliverance playing as I drove through. scary. And yes, Britney Spears is just one of the "fine" specimens of the proud south, ha! :roll: Frightening.

Looking forward to the diet again today. I just want to lose what I gained during treatment... geez! Did anyone else gain like I did?! Over the course of my treatment (& pg), I gained almost 15 lbs!! I had to jump on the stupid scales in my dr's office 2 weeks ago and I told the nurse I KNEW it'd gone up... she said it happens because of the meds... :? arrgh!

Oh well, I know it's worth it in the end... I can eat more yummy foods after the next BFP - for now, it's rice cakes for me.

NO SURGE!!! Sorry Steph! Could it be wrong?! I no absolutely nothing about the IUI procedure. Could it hold off a little longer? I'm guess no... What happens now, if the dr's would hurry up and call you back!!!!

hi girls......i did manage to get my arse out of bed and make it to work today - eventhough i think i should have stayed home --- still feeling EXTREMELY crampy and just generally icky ---- YUCK :? i have much to do and am finding it very hard to concentrate cuz i'm so damn busy thinking about getting my fertilization report!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock:

SO.......before i forget, i do want to thank ya'll (and i'm not even southern.....geez steph - i leave you alone for one day and you're pickin' fights with others!! (kidding) ha, ha, ha) for your thoughts and well wishes......i need all the PMA vibes i can get right now and you guys are just SUPER-DUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beck --- so glad to hear your op went well.......and now when will you be starting new job??????

steph --- aaaaaah yes, my girl steph........can i just say that with any luck at all --- we'll all get our BFP's so that we can all get big and fat together for the months to come???????? and then maybe we can ALL go buy our prams together at the piggly-wiggly!!!!! silly-girl!!!!!! how goes POAS anyway?????? you have started your pee-fest haven't you??? :P

hey hope!!! nice to have ya back :wink: that is pretty funny that our experiences were exactly opposite......i'm with ya on the weekend plans -- am also taking all my holiday stuff down --- and i HAVE to get it done this weekend before ET cuz then i won't be able to lug all those boxes up/down stairs and back into storage!!!! and lovely as dh is --- he just doesn't take well to my anal "this goes HERE - not THERE" instructions!! honestly - just easier to do it myself!! hey, good luck w/ your diet!! ya know whats funny ---- i was/am more "all excited" about the whole diet thing (than in years past....this is one of those neverending new years resolutions for me :roll: ) anyway - my point is that here i am all motivated to actually DO something and i can't!!! my doc doesn't recommend exercise during my ER/ET phase....in fact, doesn't want me doing ANYTHING if BFP for atleast 6 weeks (i think is what he said)...... also if i end up w/ BFP (please, please, please!!!!!) ----- can't really do the "diet" thing anyway!!! so i will just continue eating for 2!!! ha, ha, ha!!

jen1 --- hope all is ok w/ dh's dad --- is in my thoughts hun......let us know how things are....

su --- you're such a gem for keeping our list updated :wink: you never did say...........has word gotten COMPLETELY around at your work yet??? that you are "with child"?????? OMG - and you're not married???? what is this world coming to????!!!!!! (judgmental fu*#@ers!!!!!)

so i'll pop back in once i have fertilzation report (late this afternoon i'm guessing).......otherwise, ta-ta for now!!!

aaahhhhhhH!!!!!! everybody was posting at same time!!!
