Ok, so here to crash and wish luck to sooooo many of my girlies on this thread!

Moore- My CT friend! Are you at UConn still? Wishing you lots of CT luck for this cycle.

Doreen- Yay! My old cycle and bump buddy! Going for that sibling for little Michaela. How is she? She must be getting so big. Ella is walking and into everything. Happy Holidays to you and yours and I will be watching for your valentine day bfp!

Katie- I am gonna keep following you until you get your damn bfp! lol And maybe I will find a away to afford a cycle and officially join this thread by february.

To all my peeps that I have cycled with at some point...gi, rosario, penny, jaydent, turtle, rayofsunshine, karen...I am sure I missed some...but I am rooting for you all! I know how hard this can be, I have been around here for a looooong time.

Baby Dust to everyone, and I will check in on you all again. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

turtle & katie - SOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo glad to see you've joined us. And thanks katie for the list!!!

rlk - My DD travels great for at least 4 hour stretches (I visit my sister a lot that lives 4 hours away). My parents are 7 hours away, so we'll see how she does on that journey.

hopingforbaby#1 - Welcome to our board. I think you'll find it very cozy and informative here. Trust me, you've found the right place.

AFM - I'm leaving tomorrow to visit my parents, so I may be "offline" for most of the week. I'll catch up with everyone next weekend.

Early sticky baby dust for us all!!

See girls....now THAT is how a pro does cycle group lists. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Katie99 and CT_Michele!!!!

hopingforbaby#1, katie99, turtle0619: Welcome!! Looking forward to getting to know you guys!

bei: Good to hear from you!! I know, the waiting is killer. Hopefully, your AF will cooperate and get here soon!

J&C: Ohhhhh----I'm so jealous. My DS has a fit if we just drive down the block. We recently had to drive 6 hours for Thanksgiving and drove through the night---it was BLISS. He was fast asleep so we didn't hear a peep!

ASM...I'm being POSITIVE, girls. I'm getting the H1N1 vaccine on Monday so that WHEN I get pregnant in January I won't have to worry about it. Not that it's bad to get the shot when you're pregnant, but I thought if I can do it now...all the better.

Of course, if I don't get pregnant, I'll be bummed that I got the shot for nothing. Hmmmm....now I'm being negative. PMA, PMA, PMA!!

Talk to you soon!

Hi - I've been on a few of the threads before with one BFN and two chemicals. And now I'm back for more! Sigh.

So good to see some of the ladies I've cycled with before. Katie - I totally feel like I'm level one too. I'm not sure I have a whole lot of hope left for myself at this point.

Anyway, I'm waiting on AF (probably in a week or so), and then I start on my BCPs, aiming for a fresh cycle in mid-January.

so 4 out of the 5 hormone tests that were done on dh came back normal. now we're just waiting on the testosterone results. it stinks that our follow-up consultation appointment had to be moved to january 6th, but i'm glad that dh is finally starting to feel better. the flu sucks! we're going to see his urologist though on the 21st & the doctor said "i want your wife to come here on that appointment"...hmm...

hopingforbaby#1- WELCOME!!! i'm so sorry about the 2 ectopics...that is just awful. i'm so happy though to see that you're moving forward & have a pma. i've been through 1 cycle so if you have any questions, just ask!

katie99- you have been through such a rollecoaster! 2010 will be a good year...i can feel it!

CT_Michele- hey girl! how are you? i'm still with uconn. af should be making a visit in the middle of january, so as soon as she blesses me with her visit i will be starting again.

Katie-Thank you so much for doing the list. It looks great!

To All the Ladies New to this thread-Welcome!

Sorry I haven't posted much. There really isn't much going on with me at this point. I go tomorrow for my 7th and final IUI and if it doesn't work I start BCP about the 26th. I always have 29day cycles on Clomid. What a Merry Christmas to me! Then on 29th I will have my CD3 BW and start antibiotics. Really nervous and excited!

How is everyone else! I can't wait for all the excitement to start.

Hi all!

turtle0619: Happy Chanukah! Eight crazy nights....I love that song!! :lol:

beth84: Sorry to hear about all that you've been through and all of the disappointment. I'll be rooting for you that THIS cycle is the one!!

moorebaby: Glad to hear that your DH is feeling better and that all of those tests he had done came back normal. Hoping for similar results from the testosterone test and the appt. on the 21st!!!

BlessedMama: Keep us posted on your IUI results! How do you think it went? For me, I was SOOOOO crampy after my IUIs (we tried IUIs 4 times). I'm thinking of you!

dodo928: I've never had major hormone testing either--just the usual suspects (FHS, prolactin, LH, E2). Come to think of it, I don't think my DH has either. Hmmmmm.....

So....I think I'm a bit stressed about the upcoming holidays (we're hosting) and our FET in January. It's so bad that I snapped at this poor guy working at Duncan Donuts because he forgot my order (there was a huge line) and when he finally remembered me there were no more "everthing" bagels. Honestly?!? Now I'm yelling at people over bagels?!? Good grief. And....I'm embarrased to admit...the poor guy was probably all of 16 years old!!! :oops:

I hope you guys are having a nice weekend!!!

Hi ladies! just wonder how you gals celebrate your christmas and new year? We'd usually go to the Balboa Park in our area and they had a lot of food and entertainment but I missed it this year because it's 3 days after I was confirmed BFN. I don't have any family here and my DH didn't want to travel anywhere because of swine flu. Our families are in Hong Kong and we're afraid we had to isolate in a hotel if someone in the plane had swine flu symptoms. Can anyone have any new ideas where to go in this waiting period for next cycle?

rlk1: thank you for the feedback! I hope you got your bagels somewhere else! Sorry for the frustration!
