Hi everyone! 
Kbillsy &
Ninde-
Thank you SO much for your kind words ladies!
And for “looking” into my world!... You brought tears to my eyes big time reading your posts! Thank you! thank you! …sometimes you don't realize something unless someone else tells you….you ladies definitely made my day/week/month!…xoxoxoxo
Kbillsy-
OMG! I forgot you were having triplets!
I am so glad that all babies growing fine. That is wonderful!!
Keep up the good work mama! …don’t remember you telling us, but do you know what flavour’s you are having? And have you picked up names! My favourite part!
Leora-
Hope everything goes well for you today and you feel excellent tomorrow starting your vacation!

Hey you, hopelessly romantic!
So, tomorrow is your big date with DH, exchanging data on adoption…how nice! I hope you guys figure things out. your DH made a 360turn on the matter. that is definately a good sign!
I wish you guys with all my heart that you find a way and bring a baby home SOON! one way or another …about freezing sperm, this was the first thing my 1st clinic suggested to us prior to our 1st IVF attempt in July 2009. and the ‘guys’ are still in the freezer as we speak
You can keep sperm frozen as long as you want they told us…of course we paid 200euro for the freezing and that was just for the period of 2yrs. Since we’ve past the 2yrs we paid another 200 euro for the next 2yrs (in September 2011)…you just never know when they come in handy…hope we have success without needing them but who knows, its good to have a back up plan.
Nicole-
Yay!!! Congrats on the second line! How exciting!
My fingers are definitely crossed for you honey!
When is your beta? Can’t wait to hear those numbers! I am sending you tons of sticky vibes!!! …about your neighbour, cancer is a terrible thing and no one should go through it alone…imagine, if us ladies struggling with infertility need all the support we can get, it must be 10 times more the support a person with cancer needs. My opinion is to just go over there and tell her that you are 'here' for her in what ever she needs. It doesn’t matter how you found out. What matters is that you know and you offer your hand/shoulder to her. She might be surprised, in a good way I believe, and you showing up at her front door might be exactly what she needs right now. This is what I would do, especially if I know well that person. It is sad thinking of someone going through such a difficult time and the least you can do is say “hey honey, I am here for you if you need me!”…

I don’t think is selfish at all wanting only one baby. Besides, who am I or WE to judge you?! Do as you please honey and it’s all good. Besides, we are all different individuals and this is nature calling for each and every one of us in a different way. Personally, I will take whatever God send me! If that is 1 or 2 or 3 together, then I will take them gladly. But there are NO judgments for anyone! ….I hope you get your baby this time!
When are you going to POAS!
Maria-
Oh honey, I am sorry you having such a hard time
…Feeling any better? I guess is not enough to get that BFP. The ups and downs might be all the way until you bring your baby/ies home. Hang in there mama! Good days are coming! ((hugs))
Ninde-
The Six thinking hats! Yeap!
I did that seminar 4yrs ago and I found it very interesting. Actually, sometimes I find my self using more than six and sometimes those are not enough! Lol!
Kerpupples-
Don’t push your self too much at the gym mama, remember, you are carrying two lo’s with you. Listen to your body and try not to stress your self. And defintely avoid any weight lifting! Good for you giving an ultimatum to your DH. He is about to have a family now and needs to behave like a responsible adult. I am glad he got the msg and plans to go to an AA meeting. Stick to it, he might need more push and support as time goes by…all the best my friend! …Almost forgot!...have a great date night with DH tomorrow Friday! Dinner at a French restaurant sounds fabulous!
Janis-
How are you doing pupo girl? Hanging in there? Keep up your PMA! Miracles happen everyday! And yours is just around the corner!
Are you going to POAS?
Gina-
Like others said, don’t be hard on your self girl! To begin with, are you diagnosed with Hypothyroid? (others said your should start your thyroid meds) if yes, START taking your meds! I don’t see any reason NOT starting them already
When I was diagnosed with thyroid dysfunction, Hypothyroidism, my TSH level was 569! (0.45<5.00) my RE was surprised I even breathe and walked around. With those numbers I should be in a coma she said.
...yeah i am laughing now but it ws no joke back then... I was feeling SO tired and it was like life has left my body. I had no strength to walk up the stairs and running/exercising was definitely out of the question. I even lost my appetite at some point and keep gaining weight. I started loosing my hair (I haven’t gone bold, but with that rate at some point I was going to for sure
) I started forgetting things and I had the memory of a gold fish!
All these had started after my 1st IVF failed attempt and my RE said that most women doing IVF end up with thyroid dysfunction. Either Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism. As you know, the thyroid glad controls the metabolism and the hormones taken for IVF can **** up that metabolism. So, when I felt that weakness etc I thought it was all because of the IVF treatment (I was a rooky in IVF and didn’t knew what to expect) and that the meds and hormones were causing me feeling shit. But trust me! After starting getting my thyroid meds (Levothyroxine sodium) I started feeling better and better. It took me months/year to get my self back together but still….It’s been almost 2yrs that I am taking them and I feel like a person again. I’ve regain my energy back and vitality. But still, the weight loss is a constant work for me. You need to be patient, consisted and determined to get to where you want. It can be done. Trust me. I am living it. I used to believe that people with hypothyroidism are fat/obese and that was because of their thyroid dysfunction and felt really sorry for them and their struggle. Now, having hypothyroidism and being one of them, I don’t feel sorry for them anymore because if they really want to loose weight they can. Starting with a healthy life style, cooked, homemade food and a little exercise we can do wonders. I have joined a site called “Myfitnesspal” and I write down every day what I eat. by adding a food or drink or snack it calculates how many calories that food etc has, how much fat, protein, carb’s etc and so I can control my self from what I eat and how much I eat. Once you login in that site, you are being asked your age, weight and what is your goal and then it calculates for you how many calories etc you need for your daily intake. you'll be surprise how many calories and fat some of the things we eat that we think they dont have actully have! Personally I find this very helpful and it keeps me in the right truck from my goal. Don’t get desperate! Start your meds, change slowly your bad habits and you can do it! I have faith in you!
…sorry for the long post! I got carried away! I don’t want to sound like an “expert” here! Cause I am not! I just thought sharing my personal experience with you might help you see things from another perspective….take a day at a time and everything will be fine.
Sorry if I left someone behind…it’s a few days to post and I just read bits and pisses here…

I am still waiting for that call from the job I was telling you. 
I can’t believe how rude people can be…or how long is taking them to decide whom to hire! Come on already! …anyway, I guess today or tomorrow I will get an answer from them…either yes or no, just be professional and give me the decision. Sorry for my outbreak but this is getting very frustrating… 
Remember I told you about that friend of mine opening a kids clothes store…well, the grand opening is comingTuesday and two weeks ago she asked me if I could be at the cashier for that day because she had principals and the French Ambassador coming for the opening and she couldn’t be of course be at the cashier so she thought of me. And I said yes. Yesterday, it hit me! The more I thought of it, the more I couldn’t picture my self there, at the cashier, selling baby clothes to mothers, to all of our friends (we are the only ones still without a baby ) I was feeling really, really low all day and at night when DH came home I broke and cried big time. I told him I couldn’t do it and I felt bad promising our friend that I would and cried and cried and cried. He kept me into his arms and touching my hair telling me that its ok, its going to be ok….God I love him SO much! it was exactly what I needed, a hug and him telling me that everything is going to be ok... I called my friend after and told her sorry and the truth. She told me s was sorry, she shouldn’t ask me in the first place….I hang up the phone and I felt as if a ton left from my shoulders. I never felt SO bad over mother's and babies all in one place….this was my biggest outbreak….of course we always avoided the big gatherings with all our friends and their babies present. I feel bad and guilty just by saying that, but it’s true. I love all our friends and their babies and it has nothing to do with that, with them….you know what I mean right? I was reading this article about “The emotional effects of infertility on the couple relationship” and it was as if it was written from me. It was talking about my relationship, my life. Made me realise that at least what we are experiencing makes us NORMAL! …I thought I'd share it with you a couple of those interesting articles i've read… http://www.ivf.com/emotion.html , http://www.healthywomen.org/content/art ... escription , http://www.news-medical.net/news/201001 ... ships.aspx
Hmm Valentines day….happy belated to all! .....we do celebrate St. Valentines Day in my country but we have decided long time ago, almost 10 yrs that we’ve been together, with DH not to give emphasis on this day but to the rest 364 days of the year So, he brings me flowers, gifts, small and big and takes me out to dinner when I least expect it many times during the year and I make yummy dinner almost every night with candles and a glass of wine. We leave post-it notes to each other in places around the house and I find that one of the best surprises e.g in my underwear drawer I found this one last week saying 'hey, sexy '…So this year on Valentines day, I just cooked dinner and set the table like I do every night. Yes, we did say happy valentines to each other and just talked about our day etc like we always do…
Tonight we are going at my parents for dinner …lots of BBQ!!! Carnivores celebration! have i told you I love meat…My MIL, SIL and my brother are also coming so it's going to be a big gathering around the fire and the fire place inside the house... As I have mentioned in previous posts, we are Christians Orthodox and tonight we celebrate the last night of eating meat (I don’t know the name of this day in English! ) and as of tomorrow we don’t eat meat until Easter which for us is on April 15th. So as of tonight and until the 26th ( a day before Green Monday) is the carnival period. Like the Halloween you have in the states. I haven’t plan anything this year…so far at least, because all our friends have babies and 3 of them newborns and can’t leave them to come over or go somewhere with music and dancing…i remember other years we used to give parties during these days and dressed up and have fun!....but! my MIL is dressing up as “Diana Ross” for a party she is invited and I am going tomorrow night to make her make-up. She is going to look great! I found this HUGE afro wig for her and clothes to wear and she will look amazing! and hillarious! No one will recognise her after I am done with her!
That’s it for today my friends…sorry for the venting…but where else can I vent and be excused? ...and be understood!
Baby dust and sticky vibes to us all!!!!
Love anton
that's really good that your parents in law can help out and you can get this done before your cruise. Now you can go away a little easier I hope?
