December-January Cycle Buddy's Our New beginnings

[Fed7281]

Susette,

That is too funny I am hoping for a girl too. I have my boy and now I want a girl. That is too funny. I would be happy with either or one of each but I would be excited to have a girl as I have always wanted one of each!

[ssalgado]

hello!


Fed- let's keep praying strong for that HEALTHY baby first and then hopefully for a girly, girly, girl .

I am in the same boat i have my baby boy (who's by the way seems to be 4yrs old and not 2yrs old) i wil love to have a girl but if is a boy it is absolutely fine too.

It is funny we went to IHOP a breakfast rest. i the waitresses were amazed with my boy they didnot believe that he was 2 i said well i am the mother i should be sure of his age they all laugh and apologized he just don't look 2 but his father is 6'1 and 2 of his uncle are taller than his father 6'1++ so he is taking after them because i am barely 5' so he is catching up to me very quickly!!...

Well let's see what will be next for us!!!!

Susette

[tcbalgord]

Susette, the same thing happens to me when I am out with my Daughter. I never will get why people sit there and argue with you about the age of YOUR child! My girl is 6 but based on her height and looks people tell me she could pass for 9. Which is funny because then when we are out with the family people assume that she is the older sibling, my step-son IS 9 and he is on the "short" side! It funny how families are so different and how people think they know you and your kids better then you do!

Here's to praying for your next healthy BFP!!!!!! GL to you!

[ssalgado]

tcbalgord- Thank you for the Prayers we all need that!!!

I hear you on the kids it is amazing i will have to carry his birth certificate for people to believe?

Well you girl should be a big girl too ha!! well lucky us we will have body guards soon

Good luck with your treatment as well!!!! we all deserve to be mommy....

I told all of you that my cycle has been cancelled, so I will wait til next month. OK, I can get thru that!!

Well, some of you might remember about my dog?? He was sick awhile ago and seemed to be getting better, Well, he passed away this morning. He was sick and we were gonna check with the DR to see if there was anything else we could do for him and obviously there isnt.

I knew it was coming but you are never ready for it.

I will talk more later when I feel a little better.

Hello, Ladies.

My husband is out of town, so this evening will be the first time I've had to give myself the injections (EEEEEK!)...it may take me a couple hours, but I think I'll eventually get it done

jodic - I startig the stim meds this past Friday (Jan. 5). I had a really bad headache on Saturday, but I haven't had any problems with headaches since then. I've been annoyed by stuffy/runny nose, though. I've been taking Dostinex since my initial baseline labs back in November indicated my prolactin levels were too high. This medicine is supposed to reduce those levels, but it keeps me stuffed up! My first u/s is tomorrow. Then, I have another on Thursday, then another one on Saturday.

PMApsy - Thanks for the welcome. I can see already that you ladies take care of each other. I'm really glad to be here!

ssalgado - I'm in Bridgeport, CT. I think it maybe about an hour from Meriden, but I'm not sure.

JackieG - How sad the news is about your dog. Our little boy is a 6 year old Shiba Inu and I know we would be crushed if anything happened to him. My thoughts are with you.

Jackie--That's just crap. Geez, when it rains, it pours huh? So sorry.

Aunty--Congrats on the skipping ahead, how exciting. It doesn't happen very often in this process that things go faster than expected, so I think that bodes well!

Silva---Good luck on the shot. I never had to give myself one, although one time my sister had to step in when my DH was out of town and boy did it make me appreaciate him. I never once bruised when he did the shots (he's a soft touch!!!) but I'm still bruised from her shot and it was 2 months ago!!! (Okay, slight exageration, but you get my point!!) I'm sure you'll do great, though!

[shantala]

[Ange]

Hi Ladies,

Where to start???

Aunty... I don't know that I followed your question... I'm guessing you didn't plan to start down regging so quickly? I start Lupron and Dexamethesone (steriod) on Friday which I guess is the official start of down regging for me. I stimm with Menopur, Follistim and not sure if Ganirelex is for suppression or stimm, but I take that one too. In any event, yipee for getting started sooner than later!!

Mom... did you see the dr. today? How is your stomach bug?

PMA...I just read a review on Perfume and wanted to see it, after your rave reviews, I'll definitely see it. How are the shots going?

Bec.... counting down to your u/s. I think there's a bunch of ladies out here who are thinking 'twins'.

Jackie... I am so sorry about your dog. I can't even imagine my world without my 3 furry children. They are my salvation. My heart hurts for you, it truly does.

Jordan... keep those numbers climbing, looking good. When is your u/s?

For all of you stimming, I remember last go around, my ovaries hurt when I walked. Every move I made I felt in my ovaries. It's all good though.

Silva... big welcome to you. A great bunch of ladies here. Don't hesitate to ask questions and/or share feelings. Everyone is so honest and understanding.

Fellow Downreggers... Can you imagine this thread during the EC's, ET's and 2WW?????

As for me, I'm headed out of town this week on a biz trip til Thursday. I'm hoping I'll have to limit my travel real soon.

Next week out of town again for some R&R with DH. He has training to go to and I'm going along for the fun of it. We didn't get a whole lot of time to deal with our loss over the holidays so taking some time to recharge and refocus.

hugs,
Ange

[Angie65]

Nice one Aunty - you are on your way - 3 feb will be here in no time - so pleased for you.

Meg - we can do AF jiggy together - jig jig! - I did a hpt last night as my imagination was running riot but neg so that's fine - just bring on AF and let's get this show on the road - it's annoying to wait. I can take primulot to bring it on but would prefer not to. Will give it a few more days.

Jackie - so sorry to hear about your dog - we don't have pets but I am dying to get a dog or cat this year if we buy a house with a back yard.

Hi Shantala - not long til your open day at the clinic - you must be getting excited - you have been so patient through all this and suporting everyone - now it will soon be your turn.

Bec - can't wait to hear about your scan.

Hi to everyone else.
