Sha,

Welcome to this thread. I am so sorry that you had been through.

Tammy,

Right here with you, I don't know why the viagra ads have not been removed yet. Either the administrative stuff don't work anymore or they get paid to let them in, annoying!

Sha1: I'm on Day 4 of Femara now. I have my ultrasound to check my follies on Tuesday, 6/16. Hopefully, I will have 2 mature follies like last month. Last month I had 3 follies on the left ovary but none on the right. This month both ovaries seem to be busy, as I've been having some cramping on both sides. I will do the trigger shot, but I'm going to forgo the IUI this time around. I will just try to get the job done the old fashioned way. Good luck on your surgery next week!!

Take care all,
Tammy

Sha1 - Yes, we did do another cycle. I am anxiously waiting till 6/16 to see if we can see a heartbeat. I will keep you posted.

acrornmom - hope everything is progressing smoothly.

:D grettings!

Yes I find the Viagra ads annoying as well.

Sabi-fingers crossed sprinkled with a few prayers.

Sha1-Welcome, this is a great of ladies who will be there every step of the way if you need them. Wishing you all the best on your journey.

Kat-I am saddened by your news and you and your DH are in my thoughts and prayers.

Acornmom-how's it going?

Rhonda-how are you? how much longer?

Tammy-fingers crossed.

Hi Yasmina.

So to answer Yasmina's question a few pages back we are trying for number two but the old fashion method [not IVF]. I just weaned DD from the breast :cry: I miss our special moments together :cry: I have yet to have a visit from AF not certain if I should be concerned or not. I guess the better thought is when to seek assistance on that. The delay may infact be due to my return to my fitness level pre-pg. Funny I was regular pre-pg at the fitness level, but the body is a mysterious machine. My biochemistry maybe just enough different to alter my cycles. I'm denying that my age has anything to do with it. After all I feel like I'm in my 20s, hahahhahaha.

Hi to everyone else I may have missed.

Best wishes to everyone
Cheers!

Hey all,
I'm still here, fatigued as ever and slight nausea at times. (tonight not a darn thing tasted good to me).. Thank God for gingerale and water!
TMI warning... then to top it off I had diarrhea today that didn't help a darn thing with my stomach ache/nausea. I was just thankful that I didn't have any cramping (had another round of yucky drainage) but the RE said not to worry just put my feet up and relax! Hey, no problem... I can do that!

To everyone having ET, and ER Good luck and lots of sticky baby dust to you all!

Oh, and anyone with twins... any info I could use or may need to know would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

OK - here's some twins info... expect to have morning sickness right into the fifth month...! Sorry, but if you have it bad NOW you are probably destined to have an elongated relationship with it... :cry:

On a better note... having/raising twins is the BEST!!!! :D But a LOT of work! :shock:

Be blessed and yes, put your feet up! (cause you won't have time for that in 8 months PLUS 18 years! 8) )

Good morning all-
Just a quick post to put us above the Viagra and Cialis adverts. They seem to have tripled over night :?

Sending out lots of PMA to everyone and as Acornmom said, sticky baby dust :)

Good morning all,

Catharine: Are you planning to take any FSH drug with your upcoming cycle? Femara really is easy compared to the injectibles.

Take care all,

Hey Tammy-
To answer your question w/r/t FSH drugs, no not at this time....but let's not be premature....AF has yet to appear since the arrival of DD, who is 7 months. I may have to make a trip into the gyn or RE to find out what's the haps...which might require jump starting my system....best case scenario....get pg w/o help or visit from AF....okay maybe I'm a wee bit too old for that good of luck....

So since this morning I think those adverts have doubled....its like a little war going on between ligitamate posts and the adverts....Aurgh!

Wishing everyone a very happy weekend. PMA

Okay I'm convinced that the viagra adverts are some sort of robo-messaging program. there has been at least 11 posted since my last post. Surely the adminstrator can do something....hmm maybe it's a virus that jsut keeps replicating it's message....I'm over it though

PS-my rant is also part of the battle I'm fighting against the viagra robo-messenger

Catharine,

I remember that it took AF awhile to return after my pregnancy too. I think it was somewhere between 6-8 months.
