Hello all!!!
Sorry I have not posted. I actually did not sleep in this morning and I prob should because i think I had a beer for each of you last night. I did not sit there and cry, but finished a 6 pack and then had another. My DH went to bed at 11p and I made it finally around 1a, i think. I started drunk texting my friends. :) Anyways, I started my BCP today. I have a uterine assessment next Tuesday. I found out that basically they go in and do a MOCK transfer so that he can make sure that he will be able to pass the catheter through the cervix and to take a look up in the uterus to make sure there are no polyps that would prevent attachment. Whatever it takes. So I start antibiotics on Sunday for that. I guess they do that since they are sticking something foreign up there. Originally they were saying Retrieval the week of 9th of march, but it works better for me for it to be the next week so I can take vacation. So I will take the BCP until around the 27th of feb and then start Lupron. Then retrieval will be some time the week of 16th of March. My manager gave me the followingtwo weeks off after that. So I should be set except for having to trade with people for Bloodwork/Ultrasound visits during the process but i am not working any overtime during all of this so I will only have to work three days. My DH has promised to set a smoking quit date for this coming Monday. So everyone keep your fingers crossed that it works. That way he will have a few weeks off of them prior to the retrieval.

So enough about me, I am just trying to keep myself busy to keep my mind off these CRAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steph, have you had your IUI yet? Good luck!!

Sorry to everyone else, but I am just dropping a hello now!!

Great to see you back Angie.

Yipee it is my anniversary!! :) TEN YEARS!! I have spent the WHOLE day trying to get him a gift!! I found this beautiful gucci watch, and i really wanted to get it for him, since you know 10 years is a big deal. But then I thought about this huge monitor (28inches) he really wants, and thought he would appreciate that more... so I bought him the monitor... but I really wanted to buy him the watch :( Any way....

Went in for b/w to test my progesterone levels - and tehy are over 40 she said just what they want to see. So one more week left in the 2ww! Easy cheesy! :shock:


ICSI: WELCOME BACK!!! You have been greatly missed! Glad you are doing well on your diet! You go girl!!

Stephjim: love the pill! hahah!! I think I will put it as my desktop!!! Glad you had one for me :0) Yeah IVF very exciting!! (trying to be positive ha!) No really stay positive and I am glad dh is gonna try to quit. It is really hard.. I mean that is why they call it addiction, but I know it is hard to be compassionate with all we have to go through and give up.

Becky: Sorry to hear about the interview. At least that is better than him leading you on..right? Yeah something better must be waiting for you;) Do you still have your new job??

Angel: I am here, but it was sooo confusing with this board lately!! How are your shots going?? when do you go in for an u/s to check follie growth??

Hope: I will never look at eggs the same again!! disgusting!! he!

Jen: Can't wait to hear your results!!! just a few more days!!! Yeah I think parenting classes should be mandatory for everyone!!

Ok I can't go back further.

Chriss: How is it going?? When do you test???

Peqe: Thinking of you!! You'll be barefoot, pg and in the kitchen before you know it!!!

Miracle: enjoyed chatting with you last night :0)

I need to go shave my legs. Yes there are two occasions in my life which call for this... dr visits and anniversary!! :) j/k Hope everyone has a fun evening without me. I will be on tomorrow to let you know how my sexless alcohol-free anniversary went :?

I am doing a little better now that there is a new plan in place. I am enjoying a beer tonight and then back to my good self tomorrow. I want to go to the gym tomorrow and just do some light walking on the treadmill. I have just been feeling like a blob that eats because she is stressed lately.

Hope everyone is doing well. Steph, good luck tomorrow. Baby dust for you!!!!
Steph - sorry to hear about BFN - you seem much more focused again now plan in place for next cycle - sending you big hugs((())) x

Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your kind words. Today is a little bit better than yesterday. So THANKS. It has been very frustrating not to be able to read the messages properly and not being able to post some of the time. To top it off, all of the computers were not working today at work so I was having double withdrawls! Kinda hard to catch up.
Image

Steph, good luck tomorrow!! Thinking of you. Sorry the IM shot hurt. It wasn't supposed to.
Image

Stephjim, you have your plan all figured out, excellent!!! Love the fertility pill. Does it help with weight gain from fertility treatments?
Image

Jen, your butt message made me laugh out loud.
Image

Rachel, thanks for the PMA. Hope that you are enjoying your pregnancy. You inspire us.
Image

Hope, thanks to you too!!!

Hi Miracle, I think it's great that you are on here before your treatment, it helps you to get to know more about what you'll be up to. It's a great place to be. You are smart to be here ahead of time. I didn't join until after BFN. It would've help to alleviate stress about stimms, etc. So good for you. Very pro-active.

Mia, enjoy the anniversary!!!! All Sober and sexless. What's left? THe gift sounds great. It's for PC? You can use it to when we chat. Enjoy the evening!!!! Take care of embies. I guess I test 2/11 unless AF shows up before that. I POAS, no bloods for IUI at my place. If AF comes, I'll deal with it. I'll be ready for next IVF. Enjoy tonight.

Hi Angel, Su, Wishful, I know I missed some of you!!!

Becky, it's a wonderful thing that you do every year. Hosting it? Wow, that's big time.

ICSI, nice to hear from you. Glad that time is helping. Wish I could lose some weight. What's your secret? Wish there was a magic diet pill.

I think they are healing. I checked online about hcg shot and they all seem to say 36 hours. You are not broken. I was just in the chat room with miracle, it was pretty cool.
