Damn those men in blue!

I'd still WHINE to my RE :D Maybe you can get yur pcp or ob to do some bloods :twisted:

Not sure how much longer I can stay up! Of course I need to wait for the stupid laundry to finish. Between wanting to go to bed since 3pm and my headaches, I'm afraid that if I go to bed now I will be awake at 3!! Oh well I will probably be up that early to pee anyways!! :roll:

Thanks everyone - for the congrats!!! Image I can't stop smiling. :D

As for calling the RE to bump up the beta, I don't think I am gonna call. They are pretty adamant that you should NOT POAS, (due to false negatives, tho, so i dunno why it matters when you get a BFP)... but I think I'd rather just give it a few more days and do more POAS. Yup, Steph, I'm definitely checking again for that DARKER line!!! It's not light today, but it's not as dark as the last one I did last time. I think I will POAS again on Thur & then on Sat. I'm hoping that my beta will be super high, since it is the same cycle day as my 2nd beta last time!! So, I want to wait to see... that way I can hope for even higher doubles.

I've already had a hard time not telling DH. I feel just awful that you (and my mom) already know and he doesn't. But, he was kind of a butt head last time and it didn't make me feel good - there was no excitement - he was just disappointed in me - (he's very much a "BY THE BOOK" guy - and follows all rules to the letter) - so since he knew that RE said don't POAS, then, you just DON'T! So- I'm going to wait - I'd rather know and then put the RE on speaker when she calls on Mon... maybe I'll get a rise outta him then! ;) Needless to say, I'm not as strict on the rules as he is! ;)

Hope everyone is having a great day!! I'm gonna go take a nap. :) I might check up and see if anyone is on chat later.
My dh is the same way - that is why I waited until the RE confirmed it - and even then I dont think he really believed it!!!

hi guys

sorry ive not been around much but have been having a bit of a tough time and spent 4 nights in hospital last week and earlier this week. they think i had a nasty virus which damaged the lining of my intestines (meaning i could not keep any food in for a week). i also have a pain under my ribs, which they think could either be the baby squashing my stomach and liver or the baby lying on a nerve. i have to go back for an ultrasound just to make sure its nothing else. but for the time being i'm at home!!! main thing is baby is well!! so hence why ive not been around!! went into work yesterday for a few hours but taking today off....then going in tomorrow pm for a couple of hours and friday, which is my last day!!!

hope - CONGRATS honey!!!! thats great news!!!!

welshbugger - hey hun....woooooohoooooo on starting D/R!!!! how exciting!!! i'll be watching you very carefully hun!! :wink: how bizarre but i had a dream about you last night....just that we met and it was great! lol

nimble - welcome back and so sorry to hear you're not well...sounds nasty!!! wow, cant wait for your scan tomorrow. make sure you update us asap!! am i right in thinking you decided not to find out what you're having??

lara - hows you honey?? i've been getting braxton hicks that were quite visible on the monitor in the hospital! how weird!! how you doing?? wow, not long left for you now!!

hi to everyone else...sorry its quick but there is so much to catch up on!! mia, pequele, su, jenbabes, aunty, stephjim, angel, chriss, beachbaby, icsi, sorry if ive missed anyone!!!!

hey icsi - excellent news on the pills for DH. did i tell you the story about the pills i got for dh?? i ordered these pills from the zita west website thinking they cant hurt but not being overly hopeful either....put dh on those for not even a month, dh gave a sample for EC and doctor actually commented on how much better dh's sample was!! (we didnt tell him about the pills)....now to me, that was definitely the pills!!!! so WAY TO GO!!!!!!

su - missed your scan pics but just had a look....aawwww, it's so sweet. do you want to find out what it is??

Angie, to ask your question, I might POAS on Tuesday but I will definitely do it Wed before I go to the doctor at 7.

Hope everyone is doing well today. I have family coming in to town so I have to clean a little, and go grocery shopping, then we get the kids tomorrow night through Tue so I will keep myself really busy in between now and test day.

Hope - Congratulations girl. You must be sooo excited. How you can keep it from DH for a full week I can't understand. Also makes me wonder what else you've been keeping away from him......huh....huh....huh? :wink:

Seriously though so happy to read your news.

Everyone else I shall catch up with later. Have loads of catching up at work.

shantala!! hi sweetie....didn't expect to see ya out and about playin!! a nice surprise though :wink: yes --i THOUGHT i remembered your story about dh's swimmers.....is your dh smoker though?? that's real kicker w/ mine......so i'm SUPER-DUPER hoping that this will make a difference!!! doc initially wanted him taking one called "PROXEED" --- but i compared labels of ingredients and they were SO similar that doc said ok-fine to zita west product......the proxeed was like 4x as much money as the zita west -- so i was a happy camper!!!

you got a working toilet in your house these days??? seriously -- is the house remodel all done and ready for baby's arrival???

hiya angel!! good to see you hun.....you sound like you're hangin in there!!!

stephjim -- GOOD FOR YOU ON KEEPING SUPER BUSY between now and test day!!! couldn't have better game plan than that - let me tell ya!!! everything crossed for ya..........and hope has already started us out on another BFP trend ---- so i'm sure you're next!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone,
Image
How are you Shantala? Hope you are well.

Stephjim, how are you hanging in there?

ICSI, good to hear from you. You sound very busy at work.

Hi everyone!!!!! I've been keeping up with all of you.

Went to pre-op at hospital today for blood and paperwork for next week's hysteroscopy. (Camera in the uterus... fun) ANyway the admitting nurse was so nice. She knows my new RE... her daughter went to him and she now has three kids (not all at once). ANyway, she was singing his praises and it really gave me an extra boost.

Be well my friends.
Talk to you all later.

Wow it is quiet today...7 hrs since last post!!!!!

Shantala get better girl!! And who cares if you really don't WORK your last couple of hours there, it just keeps you from using up your paid time off :)

Angie- yup I went to the new job yesterday and today. It is gonna be good once I learn the system but for now it is mind numbing. I am done til next week except that I have to go back on Friday for a meeting on benefits...you'd have thought they could have done it during orientation but noooooo! ZZZZZ

Angel- see you can't be away from us for long! We are addictive like crack :)

Jen- have fun with the rents!!! Doing anything exciting????

Well as for me yup new job is going well. I was supposed to go over early Friday to my parents and then that night my mom and I are going to a cooking class. Well now I have to go over late afternoon cuz of the benefits meeting PLUS I got my apt moved up to Friday...1st I meet the nurse at 11:30 for about an 1/2 hr. Then I have to wait til 1 to meet with the OB, yup going with the OB. I asked for it to be moved up cuz Monday night I had palpitations that just wouldn't quit! I know for me they are benign, had em tested years ago, but still makes me worry bout baby and I just want them to check things out for me...is worrying gonna be like this for the next 32 weeks :cry:

Anyone around???
Steph
