Hi Everyone -

I promised I'd catch up this weekend... and here I am. :)

Angel - Sweetie, I'm so sorry. I wish there were a solution or some kind of answer for all of us. Hang in there and take some time for you. Thinking of you and praying for you. We're here when you are ready.

Stephjim - So how goes the stimming?? Image Follie dancing for you!! :)

Steph - Thanks for the follie dance. :) I hope it is working!!! How's the little bambino?? Good, I hope!!

Chriss - how is everything??? When is ET?? Thinking of you!

Mia - So glad you got to see your little one's hb!!! That's fantastic news!!! What did the dr say about your weight loss??

Su & Beachbaby - so glad your pg's are going so well. :) I'm so happy for you both!! Does it seem like forever ago that you were dealing with needles and REs!!?? :)

JenBabes - How's the 2ww?? When do you test?! Glad to hear that all went well for the FET and snowbabies are home where they belong!

Hi Mir, Becky, Nims (and Happy Birthday!), and everyone else! Hope you are all well.

As for me, I'm going to have to change my ticker. I went to the RE yesterday and they said my follies are plentiful and growing, but they are taking their own sweet time.. s l o w going .... ugh. I am not going to ER tomorrow, or even Monday - in fact, it looks like we might be going on Thur (maybe Wed) but prob Thursday this week. It is so weird that my body is reacting so differently to the meds this time. They increased my dose to much higher than it's ever been before and I'm maintaining that atleast through tomorrow (my next BW/US). Right now I have 14 follies and the largest is only 14mm. They say slow and steady wins the race, right? Hmmm... we'll see.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday... :)

hey ladies,

just a quickie from me - in too much pain to sit too long

had my bum op again on thursday, everything went really well - but woke up this morning in agony - was rushed back to casualty cos it felt like everything was 'falling out' - apparantly i have developed piles :cry: :oops: they tried pushing em back but to no avail - debated on more surgery but was decided i'd had enough the past mth or so to last me a lifetime - so was sent home with injectable annasetic to numb the pain and DH was showed how to 'push em back up' ..... oh the joys - im in complete and utter agony - I havent stopped crying all day - Oh and Wales have won against Ireland and we have the triple crown (but i missed the bloody match) and wots worse than anything is that its our 2nd wedding anniversary today - and DH gets the pleasure of being showed how to push my throbbing pile back up while i lay on the bed biting the pillow :cry: And we have tickets to go and see mama mia on Monday - how am i going to sit thru 2-3hrs on a cinema chair :cry: :cry: :cry: i was really looking fwd to that!

Happy Anniversary eh?

Hope u are all well ladies x

Hello all!!! getting ready to go eat dinner at DML's house. I have been doing some painting today. Have to finish it later tonight, which I know dH will say hey I will do it tomorrow while you are at work. We will see. We did the primer first and have let it dry a few hours.

Nims, glad you had a great bday!!!

Hope, sorry your retrieval got pushed back but like you said we want the bestones available at the time they take them. As for me, I am cramping, I guess the stims are working. I feel bloated and my back hurts, so we will see how well in the am when I go to RE. I am readlly hoping for a date of the 18th of retrieval but we will see. Does it ever happen sooner than they think? I know I am not looking forward to the progesterone shots.

Welsh I am soo sorry you are having such a bad time with your bum operation. I hope that you feel better. oh and what are piles?

Jenbabes good luck with your 2ww babydust for all.

Oh Becky!!!!! You poor girl! And with all your funny talk there across the pond I KNOW WHAT PILES ARE!!!!!! I have these 2 customers who are British and unfortunately I know a bit too much bout her DH's bum myself....Steph piles are hemmrhoids or hoe ever you spell it....I think it is much easier to spell piles.....they must be bad if they are falling out!!!! Did they screw up Becks??? Couldn't you go back in for surgey so they can fix you up right now???

Jen- 1 day down how many to go??? My 1st preg I noticed no bleeding, this one I did so don't worry your pretty little head. And I read somewhere that only something like 25% of women notice implant bleeding

Hope- that is right slow n steady girl. It is bringin you and Steph closer together!


oh I just had my waffles....mmmm strawberrys, bananas, whipcream! But I need to stop now, now I wanna yak!

Anyone gonna b in the chat tonite?

Shantala- Image

Did you get lots of cake :) MMMMMM cake! How's the construction all going?

Steph- how was the scan????

Rachel- not long now my dear! How exciting!!!!!! I wanna go out shopping now! I sure hope I'm long done by the time I get to your point. Of course I guess it probably helps pass the time cuz Lord knows I will not want to nest....I'd LOVE to nest since I loathe cleaning!!!

Hope- how was your scan today too?

Beck- how's your bung hole?

Ok well I think the weird ass dreams have started. Between those waking me up going :shock: and the wind! MY GOD THE WIND last night! I thought for sure we were having a hurricane! Then that stupid time change! GRRRRR! WHY can't we have the time change during the day on Friday so we have to work one less hour during the day?? Why must I lose an hour of sleep? Vote Stephie for President! Better go do laundry :cry:

Hi everyone,
It's been a little while for me. I missed some birthdays. Happy birthday Nims and Shantala. Mine is on Tuesday, so we are all Pisces, huh? Very interesting.
Image
Becky, hope you are recovering. Your DH is a good man. He must love your ass.
Image
Rachel, good luck. Things are sounding very good for you.
Image
Hope, all the Re's tell me slower is better. How many days on stimms for you? Don't worry, ok.

Stephjim, looking forward to your report back. Don't freak about the PIO shots. After a couple of them, it's nothing. I read about some poeple giving them to themselves... in the ass... how the hell?

Steph, Mia, Mir, how are you guys?

Jenbabes, PMA. thinking of you. Don't over-analyze.

I know I missed a bunch of yas I'm sorry. Can't scroll back, gotta get back on the couch. Had ET. Put them all back in (4). Fingers crossed. Busy week ahead. accupuncture2X, consult about DE, consult in Manahttan to check out new clinic. Busy lady. Giving it my all.

Miss chatting with you guys lately. I'll be back. Just a little on the slow side. Have any of ya been going to the chat? If so, when?

Love to all. -chriss

Hello all!! Sorry got on here late, but I had to rush to work because my trainee did not show up until I did because of the time change. So everyone was looking for me. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now.

Anyways, on to the news. I had 13 follicles. One size 13 one size 10 I think and the rest were 5-8 It was like 7 on one side and 6 on the other. The doc said I was responding really well to the meds and i go back Wed for the next scan at 7:15 and he will probably give me my ER date that day. I am hoping that it is Tues of next week, but we will see. I just don't want my work to get screwed up with all of this.

Will check in again soon.

Nims- So glad you had a nice b day! How are you feeling? You and Su have your US soon right??

As for me, well had some bad news last week. Dh was laid off, so we now arent sure if we will start in June. DH is in construction, (Underground Utilities) and the economy is killing us. I am so upset and frustrated. I know I do not have any room to talk, but i feel like we will never get to start treatment, therefore never have our baby. We just cannot get a break...
