esperanza- cookie monster here :lol: It totally cracked me up.

Neffi- yes, I will have FET in April. According to my ER, I should rest at least one month after my IVF and have 1 natural cycle, which is Feb, then in March, I start Lupron or something, and then in April I will have the transfer. I cant wait.

CT_Michelle- I have 2 cats and they both love to jump on my desk when I work on the computer. They don't seem to like each other and today for the 1st time (we have had them for 10 mos) they slept hugging each other. It was so cute that I almost started crying.

Andnichole- there is still a chance for triplets. One of the embryos could split... :) Then your hubby would definitely look like the owl esperanza pasted in. Just kidding. How are you feeling?

Mrs G- has AF come yet?

Hello ladies -- I am still here. I was out of work all last week except one day just feeling crummy. I think on Tuesday I must have slept 19 hours of the 24 hour day.

I am definately feeling all the signs of early pregnancy. Just extremely exhausted, hungry, frequently going to bathroom, can't sleep at night, I don't mean to complain but I truly have been feeling like SH**!

Back to clinic tomorrow for my last U/S and than will be turned over to my regular OBGYN. I will be seeing the clinics high risk doctor once before all is said and done. Will find all that out tomorrow so I'll update you'll once I'm done.

Good luck to everybody with everything. I'll need to read to catch up on where everyone is.

I did transfer over to Sept Babies thread but haven't been posting there either. This is my first home so I'll be sticking around.

LUVS to all my girlies!!!!

Hello Ladies! Still no AF, I have felt like it was coming for the past 2 days and nothing.. Im exhausted and have all AF symptoms so Im waiting for her to arrive. I cant believe how happy i will be when she's here. Ive had some horrible cramps too so I wish it would hurry up already!! :lol:

Thank you Esperanza for the dancer that is cute! lol!

Amy wow we are in the same boat, that is crazy but I feel better knowing my body isn't the only one refusing to do what its told! Must've been something going on in the universe.

Unexplained I have tried that cinnamon tea it didn't taste too great but I was hoping it would help.. Still nothing yet. :shock:

CTMichele are you feeling better?

Unexplained yey for your upcoming cycle. Im doing without Lupron so it shortened my waiting for the transfer good luck to ya hun!

Washingtonda- Good to see you still around, I will keep my eye out for you on sept thread. It is a slow going thread now, but I am sure it will pick up as time goes on

Mrs g- thanks for asking about me, I wish I could say I was feeling a lot better, but I am not, maybe just a tiny bit. Except for the fact I have to go back to work and class tomorrow after 9 days off :cry: I am officially in 2nd trimester this week, so hopefully I will start to feel better soon.

unexplained- I have 3 cats myself and they all are interested in the computer when I am using it, I have one cat that will sit on the keyboard to get my attention. All of my kitties get along great and they have all been my babies...i hope they will take to the new baby in september! My 17-lb cat lets me hold him like a baby, so I guess that is good practice for me!

Amy- hope af comes soon for you too, I am jealous about the weather in germany, I think the northeast has a while to go before we see spring.

Neffi- I did not accomplish a thing at home this entire week. I procrastinated all homework until last minute (one final paper I am working on now) and I can not believe I only did one load of laundry and one load of dishes! I was a complete bum!

Everyone, as hard as it will be, try to have a good Monday!

Esperanza: That picture would be exactly what DH would look like! :D

Unexplained:I have been doing good up until today. I woke up this morning and I think morning sickness has hit. I went to heat up an omelet in the microwave and as soon as I smelled it I thought I was going to get sick. I ate just a little bit and felt so bad I went back to bed for 45 minutes and went into work late. All day today I have been feeling really crummy, just real nauseous. I just got a Ginger ale and drank some and I feel 100 times better. Looks like I will be heading to the store tonight to stock up on ginger ale!

Hi girls,
thanks so much for all those af dances! I'm positive they will do the trick!
CT Michele - wow - time really flies. congrats on reaching the 2nd trimester point! must be so exciting. have you told anyone yet?

washingtonda & andnichole - sorry you moms-to-be aren't feeling so well these days. At least you know that it is a good thing not to feel so well - but I can imagine it can be uncomfortable and hard to concentrate on daily life -- Do hope you are feeling better soon and can enjoy this miraculous time.

unexplained & esperanza - do you have dates yet for your FETs?

neffi - good luck on your baselines next Monday!

mrs g - do hope those cramps turn into AF so everything can get back on track for you.

xx Amy

esperanza: it looks like you have been busy with the site. how did your semester go, or how is your current semester doing.

Pumma,
Looks like you have some reading to do. It is weird to welcome a person who started this thread, but Welcome back!
I joined it rather late, when it was close to my ER, I got BFN and now am waiting for FET in April. There is another thread on March/April and am planning to post there, but have no time to read the posts there. Esperanza and Neffi are already there from this thread.
Take care, don't be a stranger.

Esperanza,
I think we should stop scaring andnichole with the triplets :) She needs to relax now- Cookie monster

CT_Michelle,
What did you do so that your cats get along? Mine fight most of the time as they both want to dominate.

Washingtonda,
You got a wrong crowd here to complain to :) I would kill for morning sickness and being tired from pregnancy. Take care.

Mrs G- Any progress?

Neffi- I promise to show up on the Mar/Apr thread soon. It is kind of slow though, isnt it?

Not many news here. I have midterms next and the following week and did not do much studying this semseter at all. Last weekend I opened a book from 1 course (for the 1st time), and have to read about 250 pages, and about 200 from the other :( I just cant believe how behind I am, but am going to blame the weather for my lack of motivation, may I?

welcome back Pumma! when does your upcoming cycle begin? happy to see you back! sending you lots of baby dust for a bfp for you! don't be jealous, but we are having a wonderful week of early spring here in Germany...
I'm still here and STILL waiting to begin...now waiting for AF, who last showed on Jan 1st for her usual stay and hasn't been seen since...was on progesterone to get it going again...just went off and now have to wait. I go back to my RE on March 4th...DH will be away on business till Easter, so no matter what happens with AF, we won't start again till he is back.
I'll look for the list, but it isn't very up-to-date...It sounds like the girls who will be starting to cycle again will be joining the march/april thread, but this one is still going at this point...

mrs. g - when did you go stop progesterone? have you contacted your clinic again to report on what is going on/ still not going on...when did they last do a scan?

neffi - glad to hear your meds arrived! you are getting closer!

take care, xx Amy
