You are so lucky!!! I want to see Grease but it is very expensive. Plus it is only In New York City, so I would have to pay for flight,hotel, food, the show...I want to go so bad. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Grease!! I am listening to the soundtrack right now!!! :lol:

My sister and I might go see a movie this weekend. She has already saw batman AND mamma mia!!! I dont what we will see.

That is funny, you send him to the movies to watch his sci fi crap himself!!! I laughed out loud at that!!! Does DH watch chick flicks with yoU?? Is he the one going to see Momma Mia with you??

Yeah, we went our friends back...

Hi ladies!

Yeah, the FET is coming fast! I was just thinking this morning that, hey, not this Monday but the next, I'll be heading to the clinic for my ultrasound... wow!

I just made an apt with a very good friend who also trained in alternative medicine... he does acupressure (instead of stimulating the chi with needles, you achieve the same result with pressure of the thumb), among many other techniques. I had an apt with him last time, because my acupuncturist was away. Well, not only did I become pregnant, but I LOVED my experience. The acupressure HURTS a lot (imagine someone pressing hard with the tip of his thumb, right against your tibia, and moving the way up... ouch!), but I swear I could really feel the impact in the week that followed, even later. So of course I'll reproduce the winning elements as much as possible, and I have an apt with him on the 12th. Im really excited about this, plus I'm really happy because he's stopped making apts 6 weeks ago, but he'll see me. :D:D:D

Miracle,
awwww don't be sad! Make it a "me" day! Make an apt to the spa, right before, or pamper yourself at home with an loooooong bath, an exfoliating mask, a mani-pedi, and so on! I haven't seen Mamma mia!, but the reviews are mixed on Rotten Tomatoes.com. I might rent it eventually. What I'll sure rent on FET day, given that DH will be at work and I'll have the day off, is P.S. I love you. Apparently, it's a really good movie. But my DH would never watch that. He HATES musicals too, of course. I dragged him to Sweeney Todd a few months ago (I'm an Alan Rickman admirer), and it was a pure torture for him (even if he likes Tim Burton movies). As for the X-files, we'll probably just rent it in a few months. We love sci-fi stuff, but moderately. Right now, we're more into Bones and House series, though Bones is not as good as it used to be. This season's ending was not very good... quite the opposite for House.

Okay, gotta write an email before my patient shows up. Take care ladies, and have a great day!

Well, you guys are a little more active today. For some reason I don't get notices from this thread that a new post has been posted. So, if I don't come directly into the thread I can't see if there is anything new. A little weird.
Anyway, thank you PMA for your lovely post. My friend and I are talking again. I just think she got all worked up about nothing. It just took her a day to get over it. WE could just chalk it up to PMS!!
If I remember correctly you and I cycled together last year. Unfortunatley it was BFN for both of us. However, with your most recent success, and your insides getting a good cleaning job, I just feel the BFP coming your way. Will keep you in my prayers. HE knows when the right time is. Maybe HE was just giving you time to get your house ready and what not.
I love reading your posts, as you write so well. I think you could easily be a writing teacher :lol:

Ladies, please let me know what you think of Mama Mia. I have heard really mixed reviews, and so have not even considered seeing it. May rent it though.
And PS I love you...would love to rent that one as well. The list could get very long.

I am very fortunate that dh will go to sappy chick flicks with me. He gets all emotional in them as well. It's really sweet.

Well, today is our 10 year anniversary. Man, time flies by quicklly. so, we are packing dd up and heading out of town tomorrow. Just doing some shopping and last minute fun stuff before we return to work.

Anyone else have any good plans for the weekend?

does anyone on here wath Big Brother? What about So you think you ccan dance? I am a HUGE reality TV show fan.

Hi everyone,

Sorry I have been out and about and not in and on the computer. The weather is so beautiful I've been outdoors as much as possible. I was up visiting with my sis and my two cutie-pie nephews. We had lots of laughs outside under the sprinkler. Fun time.

So Miracle, sorry not been around to keep you company on-line. Seems like when I was working I had all the time in the world to log-on. Fancy that?

Sophie, thinking of you for the FET. The acupressure sounds interesting. I've been doing acupuncture since March some time and I really like it.

Carolyn, enjoy Mama-Mia tonite. I heard it was great.

HRobinson, I have not done a thing to prepare for school, you've got me all wrong. I've been playing at the beach. I will not do anything for school until the last minute. Summer is too precious. There will be plenty of time for school in September. And don't misread this, I love my job and I enjoy preparing, just not in summer. So don't go fretting about not doing anything for school yet. Relax, enjoy yourself while you can.

The ocean was beautiful today. I was in and out of the water like crazy! It was finally calm. The last few weeks it was crazy-waves. Ok, I'm outa here, want to keep reading my book. I've been reading about a book a week! Not bragging here. When school begins again I will be sooooo busy! Summer only comes once a year and I treasure it.

Miss you Angel, Becky and ICSI.

Hi Wishfull xx :D Thanks for the welcome hun x

Well Both my 2 previous tx were done @ MFS in Aldridge near birmingham, self funded both tx due to no funding or facilities in our area....its about a 3hr drive there and back so its quite away to drive for hose 10 min scans :? but worth it!! but now I have been informed by my GP that they will fund ou 3rd cycle on the NHS YIPEEEEE!! couldnt quite believe it, still cant TBH feel very lucky. The only thing is it will be at a different clinic BCRM Bristol...which is fine because they have very good sucess rates......however my GP said they will look into transfering funding to our original clinic beacuse they know our history and so forth and they then wouldnt have to spend money on baseline tests because they have already been done soooooo.........bit confusing really, so @ the mo dont know myself :lol: :lol:

Third time lucky thats my motto of the moment eh!! :D :D

How about you are you awaiting tx?? and where are you @???

Have a fab day :D :D
