Amy- I know, 2nd trimester came fast, but I bet the next 6 months are going to take forever. I have of course told my family, but I haven't officially announced it at work. This week is the first week I feel comfortable sharing the news and not hiding my belly anymore, so I will tell people as it comes up, and they will start to see. I had to tell one of my professors, b/c I get up tp pee like every hr!

Pumma- welcome back...it's ok to take a break, and we are all glad to see you again

Unexplained- I don't know what I did with my cats to get them close, maybe because they are all close in age, like a year apart, or maybe because I don't favor any, I love them all the same. Of course they all have their own personalities and clash sometimes, but most of the time they are cuddling, kissing and cleaning each other.

No new updates for me, I go back to the ob tomorrow morning, so maybe I will have more updates then. I don't think I will have an u/s tomorrow, just a check up, and I don't know what they will be checking, maybe I will get bloodwork results from last time. If I am not due for another u/s for another month, I am going to ask for one sooner...I can't wait that long.

Michelle -- Did the doc say that all of those U/S are good for the baby.

My doc seems to say that a bunch of U/S aren't good and that they only do them more often if there is a particular concern or the pregnancy/baby may have come sort of complications.

thank you so much for the great welcome back; it's really nice to be back. not sure if i'll join the march/april thread, too much to do these days at work and at home.

i have an appointment today for a sonohystogram to see whether everything looks good, then we'll either do ER the week of march 24th or april 14th; that's when my doc is working. nice life ...

Amy: yes, i heard from my parents that last weekend everyone was sitting outside enjoying their lattes etc. and i am still freezing here in the midwest. i keep my fingers crossed for your af to arrive soon.

congrats to everyone who got bfp and yes, next time will be our time ....

love to all,

Pumma

hello my dears!

Pumma--

I'm so glad to see you back! girl, this is going to be our time...I can just feel it.

I don't have a date for my FET yet; I'm going to my RE's office tomorrow to sign the forms with dh. I'll ask more questions then. I'm waiting for AF, she should show her face in the next couple of days. According to my nurse the transfer should be about 19 days after that. It's getting closer!

Amy
--thank you for updating the list hun.

WashintongDA--how's my 2ww buddy and her little peanut doing?

Michelle--yay, 2nd trimester...I'm so happy for you hon. Time just flies away. You give me so much hope! oh, let's not talk about procrastination. I'm so bad these days with school work. My professors must be wondering why in the world the admitted me into the program???

Mrs G--Come AF come!!! meanwhile, BE GOOD TO YOURSELF. you deserve to be nice to YOU. What are you doing in that regard?

Neffi--yoohoo, meds are in! I remember pissed when I had to order my meds for this cycle, but when I got them in the mail I was excited. They are here waiting to help me bring a baby (or babies ;) )home!

Unexplained
--dido! oh my God, I'm such a bad student these days...I still have to finish an incomplete from last semester...it's so hard! but I'm not giving up. Honestly, I wish I could take a medical leave or something, but I'm trying to save that for when the babies arrive, ya know? Right now, for example, I stayed home to "finish a paper"...well...look what I'm doing!

Andnichole--how are you doing sweety?

Ok, I think I might actually have an update for you all tomorrow when I return from my RE's office. For now, I'm just excited about American Idol tonight, and about HOPEFULLY finishing this paper as well. Wish me luck...please!

Sorry to drop into your cycle, but I have a question since you girl are further along than I am. Did any of you take Lupron, Follistym and Menopur on the same day? How many days did you take these???

Thanks so much and congrats on the BFPs!!!
