Hi everyone.

So i had a nice post for you all, but for some reason it has vanished.... SO MAD. It took me 45 min to do!

Anyway, thinking of you all and hope everything is going well.

Lara- good luck today. thinking of you hun.

Hope-loved the pic. so sweet.

Carolyn, So good to have you back. Good to hear that you are back in the tmt journey.

And did you call me a domestic goddess? Oooohhhhhh I like that……..make me feel really good. Had this picture in me head:



Although in reality I probably look like this:

[Angel505]

Angie - me thinks its only you and I who are naughty enough to play during work. Is it because the rest of our friends are (*whispers**) boring, or are we just naughty?? So have you been monitoring your cycle? Seen the smiley face yet? Betcha can't wait for some action! You asked what I do - I work in the public sector but my job is more to do with risk assessment than numbers. Its fine most of the times but I go through phases where I just feel plain bored and brain dead!

[Angel505]

Shantala, Thought of you today. It was raining by the bucketloads with hailstones (ouch…..they hurt!), thunder and lightening. I hope you kept indoors and weren't hanging any more of your washing today. How are you anyway? Any signn of Ellie (I love that name…..) wanting to come out?

Nims and Jayne - you both sound so busy. Hope you are finding enough time to put your feet up cause you sure need the rest! Nims, yeah I can come and help you out anyday. Bet your work is more interesting than mine.

Steph and Hope - Has the excitement sunk in fully now? Steph, the day for your scan will come soon in no time. Hope, too right you needed a stern talking to. You've been brilliant at keeping up the PMA and you can't stop that now. Any feelings you have will reach your beanie so all you want to send out to her is happy vibes.

Miracle - where are you girl? You've disappeared again. Hope everything is ok.

Chriss - so glad the appointment with the new RE went well. Hopefully that puts you at ease about your next transfer. And the ex- RE sounds very supportive. Its refreshing to come across such people who are more concerned about you than making money for their clinic.

Steph - I didn't get the bit about doc's note. Did I see somewhere that you don't like your job? Hmm…….when did that happen????

Mia - are you having enough time for naps now? Are you getting excited about telling your family now? I don't remember the last time I had a nap during the day!

Becky - so sorry you are not feeling that great. Remember its all going to be worthwhile. No doubt you do have a long cycle which doesn't exactly make it easier. But each day is taking you closer to stimming right? Hugs to you ((((((((((( :: )))))))))))))).

Righty everyone……………..

maybe you're right --- that you and i are the only ones that are FUN out here!!! ha, ha,ha, ha!!!! (you said it - not me)!!!! kidding of course.... we are just naughty by nature!! didn't that used to be a singing group????? anyway.......nope - no smiley face/action yet!! waiting for next AF to arrive which should be week of April 20th....cycle day 1 is first day of AF... will take clomid cd 5-9.....start POAS (opk's) to get my smiley on cd 10 and go from there!!!

Darn, I thought it was about 4.00. Just realised I still have two hours to go before I can go home!!!

Just got a call from the doctor's office and I've been summoned by the doctor (ok - asked to make an appointment for next week), cause my blood test results are back and not looking good .
Seem to be low on all vitamins, calcium. Anemia has become worse and glucose levels are slightly high.

I don't understand cause I have got a healthy lifestyle. Fresh fruit and vegetables are a main feature in my diet.

[stephjim]

Hey all!! 2nd day of work. Back ok so far. Had some wacked out dreams the last couple of nights. Last night I apparently woke up screaming and flaling my arms around and DH woke up and was like what is wrong and I said I don't know and went right back to sleep. HAHAHAHAH

I was cracking up when he told me that. Anyways, oh, Steph I found something now that I don't want to eat. Last night I came home and I was like ooooh I want some egg salad. So I made it and put it on a bagel with some cheese toasted, mmmm yummy. I ate about half of it and all of a sudden I started gagging and it just kept happening so I scraped it all off and just ate a cheese bagel. I had to throw the rest of it away the smell was making me gag.

I went right to sleep last night when I closed my eyes. Thursday night is a big tv night so I had to stay up some. I just did not get to watch CSI yet. Maybe tonight. I work tomorrow and then off one day and work Mon, Tue, Wed and then yay only one more day after that for ultrasound.

Hope everyone is having a super day.

Steph2.

Sorry you still have/had two more hours... it should be less - or you're probably on your way home by now.

Bloodwork!! I know you know this, but it seems like for whatever reason, your body isn't absorbing the good stuff you eat!! One thing I did to improve my vitamin absorbtion is to take them at night, last thing before bed. I read it helps to take them on an empty stomach, since some foods can reduce their benefits. ?? I dunno. Anyway, sorry to hear it's not the best news. At least they KNOW it, though... and hopefully they can do something to IMPROVE it!!

Have you made your appt yet??

Thinking of you, sweetie!

[Hope644]

Hi Lovelies -

Carolyn - good to have you back! We've missed you!

Chriss - SO glad to hear the mock transfer went so well. You didn't mention any pain, so that's definitely a good thing! I'm sure the valium helped too So glad things went well in parting with the 1st RE. And how nice of him to offer to help with monitoring?! Did I read that right?! What a HUGE help that would be for your travel reduction! WOW. I hope you can take him up on that. I'm sure the next "trial" will go just as smoothly as the first! YAY!!

Rachel - I'm hoping Ruby is here and you are celebrating!! (or resting!! ) Can't wait to see the pics!

Hi to everyone else - I'm sorry these are cut so short... I'm feeling like dog-poo. Nausea turned into full-blown vomiting yesterday. (I was going to put a vomiting smiley on here, but even looking at that makes me want to puke.) So, i'm taking it one minute at a time, hoping to keep things down.

I also called my nurse today... I had two very sharp pains, one last night and one this morning. I wasn't doing anything strenous... brushing my teeth and just lying in bed. She isn't too worried, as there aren't continous cramps or any spotting. She said there's nothing we can do but wait. Lovely. I know I should stay positive... and believe me, I'm trying. I'm praying constantly... but I just can't help but feel sad.

Now we're going to be leaving to head to the lake for the wkend. Middle DSS is being a nightmare and we're not even there yet. For some reason he thinks he can talk hateful and mean to his father on the phone and we'll drive him an hour to his lacrosse game anyway. Of course, when we don't - it will only get worse. Lovely. Sometimes I want to choke his mother... and him too!

Going to try to relax... hope all of you have a great weekend.

[Miracle08]

Hello Ladies! I am going to try and repost everything I tried to do earlier.
I leave for one day and I had a 300 page novel to catch up on!!! I love it though.

Ok, first things first...

Lara- Good luck to day Hun! I can't wait to hear that your Little Ruby is here and is healthy as a horse! Thinking of you sweetie~~!!!

Hope-Your baby's picture is just beautiful. I know she is just a tiny bean, but knowing that is YOUR BABY makes so precious. Thank you so much for sharing. I totally understand your concerns. I wish I could do something to help with that. Just know that your baby girl, she is a strong one! You will be stuck with her for the long haul! I will be prayin for you and your baby girl!

ICSI- Girl, you are too much. I love your personality. You are a huge ray of sunshine. So sorry you are frustrated/stressed about timing it just right. Dont worry, you and DH will do great. Oh, dont let PEQ make you feel bad. If you have never been to the UK or do not have UK friends normal American do not know their slang. No more talk about tent clothing either!!!

Nims- Hey girlie! Take care you. Go get some shopping done!! LOL

Chriss- My dear Chriss! You had us all panicked. We have been waiting to hear about your mock transfer and how it went. You are grounded young lady!!! I understand though, that you have other things to do!!! So glad you and old RE split on good terms. I know that makes you feel better. So excited for you to start your next cycle.

Steph2- hey lady! I can't believe you are back to work already. Your vacation went by fast. I know you are probably thinking the same thing. I hope next week flies by so you can see your BABIES again. So sorry to hear about your backache. I hope you dont get to stressed at work, i know that is probably hard seeing as you are a nurse... Take care Steph.

Peq-How are you and the turtle princess doing? I see she is still making you tired... I hope hell isnt to bad for you today. So, have you already finished your baby shopping???

Su- How are you Momma?? I am wierd and I like to look at all the baby stuff (even though I am not pg) and I love the same pram as you! How funny!!!! I love Britax! That and Peg Perggo! They are so nice. So have you got a nice baby bump yet??

Beachbaby- How are you?

OOOOHHHH MIA... how are you feeling? I hope you taking care of you and not working to hard. Miss you...

Angel- Hi lovey! How are you our little domestic goddess? I love it! Thank you so much for inquiring about me. I am ok. Just doing the lovely waiting game! So, whatcha cleaning and cooking today? I wish I could be more like you. I cleaned my home yesterday and hated every minute of it. I told my DH i wanted to be like my friend Mia and have 3 housekeepers. He didnt say too much!! LOL

Becky- Hi love, hope you arent letting this d/r thing bring you down. thinking of you too!

Shantala- Hang in there chick! Your miracle will be arriving any day now!!!! So excited for you!!!

Jenbabes- nice to see you again!! How are you lady?

ok, so I think I have covered everyone. SO SORRy if I missed anyone. I tried really really hard. Lots of love and baby dust to you all!

Nothing new on my side. We are still trying to figure out what we should do next. (financing IVF) We are looking into a couple different things. Wish I was rich....

[pequele]

I got to hear the heartbeat today!!!!! 170!!! woooo

I also got my doc note...so I sent an email off to my boss (and HIS BOSS) notifying them that I'm cutting back hours. I'll be faxing the note in as soon as I get to hell today at 2!
