Hi Shantala,

How are you? Ok, for us people that are not kissing the porcelain toilet like me and Steph, we can still have good pregnancies without it right? I have lots of friends that had nooooooo m/s. So, Hope, I hope it passes soon. Shantala, did you ever post pics of your nursery?

Angie, I have had to do that with my hubby a few times. It is funny to be the one taking care of them, like throwing up on the way home on the highway? HEEEE

Talk to everyone later.

Hello loves...how are we all doing?

Peq-where you at? Image

ANGIE!!!! So glad you are back again. I start to go through withdrawal...Steph has kinda shunned us now. She is never around anymore. :cry: Sounds like you and DH had a really good time. that is good. You need that. Tell work to stuff training, you have to talk with us girls!!!! :evil: I mean, what is their problem???Image

Shantala- Hey there Momma! I love seeing your posts! You feeling ok? besides impatient? No problems? I cant wait to see pics of your nursery. I love nurseries!!! Oh, this is probably a dumb question, but on your signature it has 1st ivf bfn, no frosties then 2nd ivf bfp 7 frosties.. what the heck are frosties? Are they frozen embies?? That is really cool you can shop online and have it delivered. I am sure we have that here in the US but it is probably for the POSH!!!Image

Steph2- two more days hun!!! So excited for you. How is work? Taking it easy i hope!!!

Angel- We are you lovey??? Image
Hope everything is ok!!!

Hope- Hi sweety!!! You go with your MS!!! So happy for you. Image

Chriss- Good luck today with your appointment. let us know how it went!!!
Image

Only 19 days untill my vacation. I am so excited!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know I missed a lot, i am very sorry. I am thinking of you all! Big hugs and sticky baby dust to you all!!!

Shantala,
Good to read your post. you sound great. I think you have the perfect plan. Good to have a back up if necessary. I love the idea of a birthing pool It actually sounds more soothing. I would love to know more about it.

Hi Hope, I missed you last time around. You are just embracing that m/s!!! Good for you.

Therapy was great last night. I'm very glad that I started it girls, it really helps me process it all. She's a dream.

Miss hearing from Steph... she must be tired.

Hope everyone is having a great day so far!

More later, chriss

HeyChriss and Mir, glad to hear from you. I am taking it easy at work no pulling or pushing or holding patients. I am not a glorified poop cleaner basically. Everyone else holds while I clean. Still not throwing up, just occasional nausea so that is good. I can't wait for Friday. It is not getting here fast enough, even though I am really anxious.

Hi B Mom!!! So glad you are still around! yes, we are all pretty crazy and the crazier the better!!! :wink: I don't know what kind of sperm issues you and DH have but me and my DH have sperm issues. As you can see he has Azoospermia, (in case you don't know, means no sperm comes out of the ejaculate). We have to have the Urologist go in to the test. and get his guys. Then we will do IVF with ICSI. So if any of this is familiar to you, please feel free to chat with me. :)

Talk with ya soon!

Hi guys, I'm totally pooped that is why I haven't been around! I'm ready for bed already and it isn't even 6pm!

Welcome Bichon Frisbe mom :) Yup we are crazy, hormonal ladies here...trust me, some days we can fill up 5-10 pages without trying...helps when I can keep my eyes open for awhile though and people like Angie, Mir, Angle, Becks, Steph2 and Chriss don't have to work!!!

Steph- just 1 more day to get thru!!! woohooo...of course today I should sit down and pay bills, it isn't gonna make it go any faster haha.

Becky- sweet bout the bum! very happy fer ya! AND super excited you are more than 1/2 way to stims!!!!! SHOOOOOT EM UP!!!

Chriss- thank GOD for the Valium!!! And so glad the new RE ROCKS!!!! What is the plan for your next cycle? When does he think you can do it? It is quite a trip you have to take...but you certainly should live it up, do a little shopping, take in a show or 2 hehe :)

Hope- I sure know if I had had more MS I'd feel much better bout the whole thing! So nerve wracking that is for sure...especially after all those dam palpitations! Very glad though I wasn't puking up a storm nor lost my appetite :) God forbid if I couldn't eat and keep my girly figure HAHAHAHA

Angie- so nice of you to finally skip out on work a bit haha. Can't believe you had to hold DH hair outta his face while he hugged the porcelin God!! SOOOO funny!

Shantala- oh dear you are gonna do natural birth!!! Hey don't get me wrong I commend you! I am just the world's BIGGEST WHIMP!!! Hell I can't even handle a paper cut!! Besides I have to keep the other drug dealers out there in work...I support my own kind haha. You really think you are gonna be late? Did they do a check recently? That is so cool you could have your groceries delivered! I used to have that option when I lived somewhere other than BFE, but I guess the best I can do is hire someone to mow my lawn and pull my weeds...bummer!

Mir- sorry so pooped here! I've been reading, just no energy to post...when will the invent a computer that will just type wut u r thinking! That would be perfect!!! I'm so jealous of your vacay...this is your cruise right??? Where are you guys going exactly?

Hi EVERYONE else...even though I'm not naming names and getting screwed again :D

Yesterday (my 1st day of my extra days off from hell...wooooo) I went to my parents' house. Mom and I went to buy fat pants...yup cuz I'm fluffly I'm already buying maternity pants...they are so damn comfy!!! I tell myself that it is the Nibblet, but I know it is mostly the fluff :D After that we went to Lowes to pick up wood for my dad to make the crib!!! My dad is the woodworkin king, so he gets to have some fun with it. Of course design I wanted, if I bought the crib it was like $800!!! Buying the plans (for him to modify), the hardware, bed springs, paint and all the wood cost me a total of $199!!! That was after gift cards...wut a deal! We rock hahah.

1 more day this week in hell before the US! 36 HOURS for those of you keepin track of my counting down....Sorta like my 2 months and 2 days left in hell (or 35 whopping shifts to go!!!). I love count downs! YAHOOO

I gotta go watch last night's Idol so I can see who will get cast off tonite! What is everyone's vote??

Steph

Hello my crazy friends!!

Peqe: That is so great that your dad will make the crib - how special - and cheap!! I went by a maternity store today, but jsut looked. I really can still fit in my old clothes, so I will wait. in fact my clothes are baggy on me since I have lost 9lbs since I started IVF!! - starting to worry a bit that I am not gaining.

BMOM: I was pronounching your name Bitchin mom - is that not right? :oops: Welcome any way! We have drug dealers (Peqe and ?? I forget who else), spies (Hope), all kinds on this board!

Miracle: Hey there it has been a while!! Tell me where you will be spending your vaca again??? I bet you are counting the seconds down!

Stephjim: COuld the poop be causing the nausea??? I can barely stand the smell of food! Glad you are taking it easy - not worth the risk!

Chriss: I was meaning to ask you about therapy, so glad you are getting a lot out of it. Also glad to hear the 2nd mock went well. Yeah my RE started the sleeping injection and then was like, oh I forgot to have you sign this... I was like real smooth dr.. :)

Shantala: I have always wanted to do a home birth, so I will be going au natural as weel! I need to ask my OB if I can do a water birth.. I doubt it. I wish I didnt like him so much so I could get a midwife! but he is a doll and has been with me for so long. He even promised not to go out of town around my due date.

ICSI: What is new girl - yes you win wife of the month award! Dh rarely has those porcelain hugging moments, but when he does I am up all noght with him. He usually ends up sleeping in the bathroom.

Hope: I think it is fine to complain about m/s - thankfully I havent thrown up, but if I did I would be whining about it!!!

Becky: Good job giving yourself the shots!! On relaxing... I dont know but shouldnt the sex help you relax?? Just keep dh busy! ;)

Well as I mentioned to Peqe I have lost more weight. 3.5 lbs in the last 3 weeks, and 9lbs since the start of IVF. Just cant eat much. If I force myslef I get sick and my stomach hurts. I know I am supposed to be gaining weight now that I will be in the 2nd trimester... should I worry???

Other than that all is well. I cant believe I still have not told anyone! Not too much longer and I can let everyone know!

Hello everyone. Enjoying my day off. Got up at 9 and attempted a whole bowl of cereal but only ate half. Then cleaned the kitchen, played a few video games and then went back to bed around 1030. Woke back up right before 1. YAY lots of sleep. I felt like I had a little allergies or something coming on so I felt that the sleep might help. I don't want to catch anything when I can't take anything for it. Anyways....

Angie, hope you are enjoying work today. Maybe we should put a petition together for Steph's dad to make us all cribs. :D

Becky, not much longer and then you get to feel your little follies getting bigger in there. Yay you are one day closer to BFP!!!!

Mia, don't worry too much about the weight loss, a lot of women lose it in the beginning. So far, I am not one of the lucky ones considering how much AI and IVF put on me. I get nauseas after eating, similar to steph, so basically I never learn and I continue to eat when I get hungry. :D :shock:

Steph, make sure you get on here and let us know how it went before you go out of town this weekend. I will do the same.

Mir, once day closer to vacation. YAY!!!!!

Chriss, yesterday was the worse day yet at work as far as how I feel. So far everyone has been really helpful. I am sure they are going to get tired of it after a awhile, but hey, they never have to clean poop again for a while. I will do it for them. As far as the smell. So far it does not bother me, it is just stronger than normal, like when my husband comes in from smoking, whoa, step away. Even when the family members come in from smoking at work, I can smell it in the whole room. So far it has not made me throw up though.

Shantala, pictures? you have any of our nursery?

Hello everyone else I did not get. I just went through and did the current page since I can scroll down it at the bottom of my page while typing this.

I am off to the post office and maybe to the mall to get a new bra. We will see. Maybe Iwill have lunch.

Talk to everyone later.
