WOW, What an exciting night you all had. HA, Ha. Mine was not much better. I was in bed by 7:30 pm. LOSER. Just need some rest!!! But today I got up at like 5:30. The stimms are making me soooo thirsty!!!
ImageImageImage

Mia, what's the heating pad for??? Anything to do with 2ww? I think I remember reading something about keeping tummy warm??? Or is that not a good idea? I bought a hot water bottle but don't know what to do with it. (No comment Steph!)

I'd love to Steph - but then my dates wont pan out right when it comes to the drugs - when my next AF arrives, they will think im early/late whichever oe it goes lol - i wouldnt do that anyhow, theyre are prob women who got their letter last mth waiting on their Jan AF and all excited like me, its only fair that i wait - (blah :( ) not that i want to mind lol, hopefully she will arrive after 31st then i can stop worrying :D
waitingforMia wrote: Beck: OOooo I waant see Plain White Ts ... No fair!! Why do you not wanna start AF early?? I feel out of the loop.
Becky: flu=no fun. :( Sorry you are under the weather. Have that lovely dh of yours make you some chicken soup. (And while he is at have him eat like a hundred cookie so he can put alil' meat on his bones :wink: )
My DD said they were fantastic, she recorded my fav song 'Hey there Delilah' on her phone for me - sounded pretty good too :) I dont want my AF to start yet as here on the NHS list (The free one lol) i have to wait untill Feb AF, she was actually due yesterday, but sometimes she can be late - up to 5 - 8 days. Im praying she will be late again this mth, so she falls into Feb, otherwise i will have to wait untill Feb AF (which will prob fall at begining of March) to start (confusing i know lol)

Becky- Image
Rest up now, you need your strength when AF shows up AFTER FRIDAY!

Chriss-Image
HAHAHA 7:30!!!! Just kiddin...is it the meds? Trust me I often feel like goin to bed that early too...I just hate that getting up at 5:30 thing but for me it is usually like 3 am!!! Since you are acting soooo old you can always use your hot water bottle to warm your bed at nite! Safe for you and baby (no electric blankets cuz the electromagnetic force field isn't good for development) but you can still stay warm...beats those coal pots they slip into bed in the old days too..Image

Mia- is the heat pad for your new kitty????

Rachel- I love the name!!! Now tell hubby to HURRY and get that pic online for us!!!! When are you finally out of work? The decorations on the tree are down, I just can't get the bag down the basement stairs myself...so I just haven't take the tree apart since it takes less room assembled than the big giant bag it goes into. I'm just early for next year :)

Carolyn- I'm gonna believe it was the pressure points...I don't think Hope is pushing hard enough hahah. Of course I DID have cramps for like a week and that had nothing to do with it hahaha.

Hope- uh slaw ON your booger? Um no thanks..and YES BBQ is a verb too :D I have a new fandangled BBQ I bought this year...I've just been too lazy to use it a lot since most times I just don't like to cook anything after a long day of work...damn pool boy is supposed to have dinner ready when I walk thru the door!

Yeh so at first I didn't think my parents were gonna make it today! Wake up AND IT IS SNOWING!!! WTF! Where did THAT come from??? They are getting a bit more than we are here and they were like whhhaa should we come today...uh yeh my friends think my Christmas tree needs to come down this year! haha. Naw they are their way.

OMG this AF is killing me! The cramps are unbearable!!! I broke down and had to take ibuprofen, it is early enough in the cycle it won't matter, I just couldn't take it any more! I have NEVER had cramps like this even after the D&C the cramps were bad but NOT like this! Help me! And the headaches! Does anyone know if this is because my body is just different after being pregnant or does using clomid do this (I have had NO side effects during my cycle from the clomid). UGH

Steph, the Clomid will cause those cramps. Every cycle that I have used it, which it has been a total of 4 since I had that one canceled. It hurt like a ***** the day of my AF and the next day. The Clomid thickens your lining of your uterus so when you go and have AF, there is a lot more lining to slough off. Does that help? And oh my gosh, I don't think I have watched Miss America since I was a kid. I forgot it was coming on tomorrow night. I was watching the first 2 Rambo movies because we are going to see the new one today and ithelps to know who Rambo is before you see part 4.

Mia - good luck with ER, I think you said Tuesday? Looking forward to hearing about lots of follies. Oh, and what ever happened to your kitty?

Rachel, congrats on finishing up the nursery. I am so looking forward to decorating for a nursery. I just hope that it is a boy because the room is already a royal blue color and i can do a space theme. But if it is a girl, then I guess we are painting. Oh and I love your name for the baby.

Becky, I am so sorry you feel crappy. I hope my stuffiness does not progress to flu. It is really difficult not being able to take anything for it, at least to make you sleep. At least you have AF coming and you can move on.

Chriss - I was like that on Friday night. I had a floaty head from being sick so I was in bed at like 8. Now, I did not actually fall asleep until 10, and I had to get up at 5:30 for work, but I felt much better.

So, I see you can use hot water bottles., but can you use heating pads?

Shantala, Rachel, Su and Nims - hello mommies to be. How are you feeling?

Hey Welsh, how are you?

Well, I hope I got everyone. I am sure I did not, but I am trying.

Oh and PMA all the way. IUI #3 is going to work.

Morning Ladies-

Rachel-
Image .... such a beautiful name!!! Can't wait to see the nursery pics! Take it easy on the stairs! I'm guessing you're in the waddling stage?? :) Image I can't imagine! Enjoy every uncomfortable minute! ;)

Becks - Sorry you are still feeling so sick with the flu - and especially that DH can't/won't be of any assistance since he has the man-flu. :roll: Image We're sending you lots of TLC from overseas... if we were there, we'd fill Chriss' hot water bottle for you and make you chicken soup! Glad your DD enjoyed the concert and that she recorded your fav song! Very cool. Probably not worth the late night?? maybe... but very sweet!

Carolyn - good to hear from you! Sorry things are boring... you should come see us, then! We have no life. ;) (well, some of us don't!) When is your next break?

Chriss - yup, we had a CRAZY night last night. but it was fun. ;) Mia entertained us with her kitty episode and Steph and I watched tv together and teased Mia cos she had no idea what we were talking about! What in the world are you going to bed so early for?? The meds are making you thirsty, eh? I'm thirsty all the time, can't remember if they did the same to me or not. Hope you're drinkin' lots o water!! Which probably also means lots o potty breaks!

Steph - Glad your folks are still coming. I can't believe your cramps are so bad!!! This is your 2nd since D&C... was the first one bad too?? Very strange. And the headaches... :( sorry sweetie, maybe *you* need the hot water bottle!! And yes, slaw - but not on my burger, on my BBQ. as in bbq pork sandwich - not bbq as in grill, like this...Image

Mia - Hope you got the kitty all situated last night and she is all comfy, fed and warm at her new home!! hahah, just kidding (about the new home part only!) I'll be checking in later to find out what the dr said today... and when the trigger shot is going to be!

Not much for me this morning. I was lazy and slept in, missing church :oops: .... but DH had to work over last night, so he didn't get in until 5am, needless to say, he's still sleeping! I should have gotten up and gone without him, but I didn't... :( So, I'm gonna go do some reading and studying and maybe a little bathrobe chruch, depending what's on. I'll check in with you lovelies later.

Steph...I thought it THINNED the lining! UGH. That would also make sense tho as your uterus squeezes the bajesus out of itself to get every last drop haha...but my GOD (yeh it is Sunday and since I don't go to church like the bad Catholic I am I will pray here) these are the worst freakin cramps I've ever had...good thing this will be the last time I need to have em since this cycle is gonna work!

Uh and Rambo huh...yo Adriene! Oh wait that is Rocky...oh well same amount of brain cells...you won't have any problem figuring out which one is Rambo...just listen for the dumbest guy on the screen...only in Indiana... Image

I'm sure you could probably still catch miss america tomorrow night too...they will probably show it 470912879 more times on tlc! No worries :wink:

Hi Ladies, wow you've all been busy.

Becky, sorry your feeling poorly, as DH is sick too, i hope your DD's are looking after you both. got everything crossed that Af stays away until Friday.

Rachel, glad your nursery is nearly finished, love the name you have picked. Sorry your having trouble moving around now at least its for a good cause.

Su, love the scan picks, they are clearer than the ones i got. Are you going to find out what you are having?

Nims, your scan pics are great too, have you been telling everyone your news this weekend? i am with you, we are waiting till the end to find out the surprise, it just means we have to pick two lots of names for each sex.

Steph, glad AF has finally arrived, sorry she is being ugly, hope it eases soon.

Mia, good luck with your trigger tonight, and hope all goes well on tuesday.

Jen1, hope all went well yesterday, and you have 2 beautiful embies snuggling in. safe journey back.

Hi to everyone i have missed, but my thoughts are with you all.

As for me not a lot happeneing, just getting fatter, my waist has about dissapeared now and none of my bottom clothes fit me, but so far i can still wear regular tops. Finding a suitable pushchair is a nightmare, but we are getting there i think. The one we like we are having trouble finding one around us to look at and just found out that its now only available in red (arggh) wanted black. there is always something.
catch you all later
