Is it the coach looking guy or one of the teens... fess up, Steph - are you a cradle robber??

Oh wait, there was the pool boy/intern... what's up with him??
The pool boy intern went back to school :cry: Ok so the one I'm robbing the craddle over is the one without shoes...eww. But in real life he's legal haha. But I DOOO love the coach too...Did you ever see the show with him where the newspaper would show up and tell the future? I LOVE that show! Evening News or something like that? Actually most the guys on that show are hot of course but duh it is tv! When was the last time everyone looked so beautiful all over campu...except maybe in Beverly Hills of course :)

DANG I forget your other question just before that. I bet AF is right around the corner for ya. I honestly had no warning. Did you happen to feel any O twinges about 2 weeks ago? Maybe that would help? I had them a few times off and on about 2 weeks prior so I figured it would be around Christmas or New Years. I know it doesn't help but everyone is different haha. I have heard that the 1st AF is usually different than normal and yup I agree. It was like I had 3 heavy days then the faucet went off and NOTHING! Crazy. IF my AF would ever show up, I start my cycle right away. I would start my meds on day 4-9...I will be good this time hahaa. Then when I O I have my IUI and hurry up and wait. I think I will be doing a monitored cycle this time, it is only about $530 more and that is if I need 2 ultrasounds. If I only need 1 it would be $260 more. I'm gonna go for it to help me increase my chances of getting it right haha

steph ---- what movie you going to see today????? i think as cold as it is, i would have loved to have just stayed home snuggled in my blankies!!! OH and here's my 2cents on having monitored round of IUI -- first find out how much AND isn't it POSSIBLE that insurance would pay?????? oddly enough, all of my doc visits/us's and bw ARE covered under my insurance.....either way --- i bet you'd find you'd LOVE it --- you'd get to actually SEE the size of yer litter that your clomid has brought on.....AND you'd know EXACTLY which day for all your stuff!!!!! a for SURE BFP!! :wink:
Angie...have fun with the auditor..woo haha just kidding. We are gonna see 27 Dresses after goin to this Italian place for lunch...some year I will hop in the shower (not that Heather would care, but I just have to get those sleepies outta my eyes AND my hair to lay flat!)

My insurance doesn't pay for ANYTHING tagged to IF :( It is acutally not too much more costwise so I really think I am gonna do it to help improve my odds in getting it right. If it doesn't work this time who knows how many more cycles I could afford though!

Let us know your numbers as soon as you can! After the movie I need to run out and get milk and resume paper, I don't have much left since it has been years since I've ACTUALLY had to print one out all old school like haha

As for me, everytime I try to keep up the PMA, I seem to come crashing down. Although we had put it off for a month, we simply had to go and see a friend who just got a baby. Like any new mother she was going on about the sleepless nights. Then went on to ask us when we're having one and that we shouldn't put it off any more and what a wonderful feeling it is. Then I got a text this morning from a friend I haven't talked to in ages to say she got a baby and whether I have a baby on the way. Someone who doesn't bother keeping in touch for a year doesn't ask how I am, but whether I am planning on making babies. Now I know that people don't mean to be insensitive and they don't know what we're going through. But surely you'd think that if someone is not pregnant, they don't want kids (and they will say it) or they are having a difficult time. Aren't we all mature responsible adults? Does anyone need reminding of the fact the you're getting old, have kids now? Sorry, it may be just me being totally irrational, but it took me a while to try and make myself feel positive after the last BFN, and just when I was proud about doing so well for a week......BAM!
Angel - I'm feeling for you, sweetie. I know we've all experienced situations like these but they never seem to get easier. Like you, I'm sure these folks aren't intentionally insensitive... it's just amazing to me that they are so ill-informed on the plight of those of us dealing with IF issues. Sometimes makes me want to INFORM them... ya know?? Sometimes a dose of reality can be a very good thing... ??? :)

You hang in there, honey. Keep that PMA strong! Image

The photo from FNL is very hard to see, but Mr. No shoes looks like a real cutie - and at least he's legal in real life!! The coach is cute, he is the only one I recognized. I used to watch that show he was on, occasionally... it was called Early Edition, i think... and the cat had something weird to do with the paper?? He's a cutie too. Image Though I have to admit, he's looking a bit constipated in this photo - what were they thinking??

Thanks for the advice and encouragement with AF. I'm feeling a lot less frantic about it now compared to yesterday. I kind of felt O twinges a couple of weeks ago, but I can't be sure... sometimes I guess you don't O after M/C... weird. Anyway, I'll be ready when she decides to show... I certainly wish she would be a more polite guest and inform me before she just ups and knocks on my door!

I'm so glad you're going ahead with the scans in your next cycle. Angie is right - it's cool to be able to see your little follies growing in there. Plus, it will probably give you a new peace of mind - not to mention the added advantage. Good call. :)

Hope you're enjoying your day off. I'm off today too... but going to try to get some work done anyway... :(
