Summer cycle group

[Tiger04]

Sunshine – I can’t wait to hear how your next Beta is on Thursday! We’ll be anxiously awaiting the results!

Chili – I’m so glad that everything went well! I’m sure your fertilization report is going to come back wonderful. I can’t wait to hear your results and continue to cheer you on! As expected, it sounds like your wonderful husband is taking great care of you!

Lou – Yum! That sounds just delicious. Gotta love BBQ. It’s all in the sauce! Lou, you will be pregnant before you know it! Once you start stimming, time just flies! After all these months, it’s so great to put a face to the name! I really like that necklace. Thank you for the info. Yes, so me too. I had the twinges that I think were implantation on Sat and Sunday and now I’m feeling nothing. No other symptoms, no sore boobs or anything. Who knows maybe it was gas! I’m going to be more observant of the urine. I’ll let you know…which I’m sure you’re super excited about!

Franny – thanks for sending me sticky vibes! I’m doing great! Positive as ever. I tell myself at least 20 times a day that I am actually pregnant! It feels good to have something to be positive about and hopeful for. Awesome that you’re back to the good ‘ol not so busy clinic. And because it’s so exciting, I will say it again! YEAH FOR TRIGGERING!

Karin – that’s hysterical. By which fruit were you standing that you were hit on? Sounds like you are keeping yourself busy as we wait. I think we call all relate to the weight gain. I’m up about 5lbs which is hard for me too. I have been 130lbs for about 5 years now and worked hard to stay at that weight. I am not working out at all, excepting walking for the 2WW. I just don’t want to look back and say what-if. And yes, I think all 5lbs went to my thighs. Lovely. However, my theory is that I don’t want anything more than to have a successful journey. I can always work on loosing the weight after.

Blair – welcome!

Tammy – sorry Zach isn’t feeling well. Keep washing your hands so you don’t get it! I agree, I love hearing about Zach and he’s a huge part of your life and we’re all here to support eachother in life. Everyone’s journey will be different and that’s what’s so fun about it! For me, keep the stories coming!

Annpage – I hear you sister! It’s a road of unknown. Keep up your PMA!!! (positive mental attitude) We are all here to pull you up when you have thoughts of anxiety or nervousness.

Katie – you are never crashing! You’ve been with so many of us! We still need you!

Teresa – My dear friend, how are you feeling?

Moorebaby – great advice, I agree. I am here to support! And be positive!

Dlk – 20 eggs amazing! Can’t wait to hear the fert report. Rest lots. Drink lots of water!

Have a great night everyone! Baby Dust to all!

just wanted to day Good Luck to Franny. FX'd for some good eggs.

[amanda1979]

Cool...thanks Amanda. Good to know.

You have almost got the picture correct now. Add the [img] to the front of the line and [img] to the back of the line...only the one in the back must have the / in front of img ...I cant do it here or it will mess this whole sentence up. lol

So, [img]and[/img] before and after your sentence you have right now...like it is around my word "and".

Tammy,
I know you want to reach through the computer and pop upside the head. I really am good on computers I just can't seem to get the picture thing down. I did the img thing before and after still no picture. I even got my husband on here to do it and he can't either..lol amanda1979

[moorebaby]

amanda1979- you're almost there! don't have the quotation marks (") around the code. also, put it at the end, after all of your info.

[TammyS]

Ditto moorebaby. lol Know what's funny Amanda? I actually tested it out to make sure what I was saying was right...and I saw your picture. lol Cute couple! Just remove the quotes now. It took me forever to figure this stuff out...so no worries.

Tiger...it's not the handwashing that I keep forgetting about...it's the sharing of food and silverware! lol We just shared an icecream cone and I was like ..."Ooops, Shoot..." afterwards. Oh well.

If anyone wants me to do their picture for them...just pm me and I will send you my email address to send me a picture and I will crop it down for you and send you back a code that all you have to do is copy and paste right into your signature. I'm bored anyways. lol

[moorebaby]

tammy- lol, i did the same thing!

[chilipepperrose46]

Hi All,
I was very disappointed to hear that I had nothing to fertilize. They said there was only one imature egg and several empty follicles. I figured after the Dr's optimistic report after the ET there would be something to work with. I won't know what happened or where to go next till Monday when I see the Dr. I'm so upset. I'm trying to keep my mind off it but it's very difficult. Good luck to you all.
Chili

[TammyS]

OMG Chili...I am sooo very very sorry. So disappointing. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Please let us know what your doc says on Monday. Big Hugs.

[lou71]

Oh Chili..... I am so so sorry. You must be devastated. I don't know what to say other than I'm really sorry it didn't work out for you this time. I hope RE has some options & advice for you on Monday. You are in my thoughts.
XOXO

[sunshine and stars]

Dear Chili, I am so sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

[karin1]

Chili...I am so sorry. I know how disappointed you must be. Lots of love and prayers for you.

[klinger13]

Chili - I'm so very sorry. You'll be in my thoughts.

[TammyS]

Awww...look at you Klinger (Amanda). Such an adorable couple!

Chili...I had a rough time sleeping last night...you were on my mind. I just cant imagine how you must be feeling right now. Any idea on what your next steps will be?

[turtle0619]

good morning everyone!

chili oh my heart is breaking for you! i am sooo sorry! please let us know what they say at your appointment next week! you and DH are in my thoughts right now!

kim you sneaky lil girl!! i had no idea you were following me on here! you are sooo amazing! thank you so much for thinking of me. i think about you often, and miss you. how are you? i hope you are having a good summer. do you have a next plan of attack on the ivf front??

chris thank you hun! i think about you all the time too. let me know whats going on ok?? you are one of the strongest woman ive ever known!

claudia you know that your cheering makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (or is that the follies??) thank you so much! hows lil flick doing? i cant believe you hit 20 weeks!!! awesome!!! i'm so excited for you always! are you getting excited for jones beach? let me tell you...the boys are on fire this summer!!! i bet mikes bass will get flick to start dancing!! haha but keep him safe from crazy noodle dancing hippies!!

katie oh boy what crazy projects you keep giving yourself! a new deck, and now all this inside renovations...you make me yawn just thinking about it all...and in this heat too!!! oy! your story of chris cracked me up!! i totally woulda been laughing too, but i'm sure that didnt help the situation! hahaha i keep picturing you both and it makes me laugh. how are you feeling? can you believe i made it to ER again?? this puts me ahead of the non ER cycles! yay!! of course you know i'm nervous as all heck at what they will get when i wake up...the fun never ends right? help!!!! i need some katie calming help!!

tiger, tammy, es, lou, teresa, karin, thank you all so much for being excited for me! when you get canceled alot its a big accomplishment just to make it to trigger and ER. so each time i actually make it to this point i get excited, and i can exhale for a day or two. dont worry though...the panic will set in again tomorrow morning. i just never know whats going to happen going into ER. i know we all dont really know, but when your a poor responder its even worse. so thank you all for your support and love. i can feel it coming through the screen at me, and it means more to me then you can ever know! (tear)

dlk holy eggs batman!!! wow! 20 is insane! your gonna have a get fet. report, and i cant wait to hear about it! good luck and get some rest!!

afm i'm enjoying my needle free day, and DH is a pro at the ol shots in the bum so the trigger went incident free! since we finally found out we can leave the house for our anniversary (4 years for those who asked...although last weekend marked 10 years from the day we met!) we decided we are going to go up to the maine coast and enjoy the ocean and the view, and then we found a great place right on the ocean to go to for dinner. (i'm already drooling thinking about that fresh caught maine lobster!! mmmmm)
i have to go out sometime today and find a gift for DH. we decided not to do anything big this year...we just went away, and are going away again in august so money is tight, but i have to get him something. anybody have any cute inexpensive gift ideas?? i'm also going to bake a keylime pie today for him because i wont be able to do it tomorrow. the keylime is special because we went to key west for our honeymoon, and i read that 4 year anniversaries are "flowers and fruit" gifts so the lime will be the fruit too!!
anyway i gotta get going. i hope you all have a great day. at this time tomorrow my ER will be going on...so please everyone cross your everythings for me...i need it all!!!

***much love always***

Kim -- Hi! Thanks for checking in. Are you cycling again?

Chris -- Nice to see you too! How are you? Best wishes to you. I know you've been through a lot of disappointment.

Katie -- Missed your post here somehow. Glad you're doing well and keeping busy. Don't overdo it!!! I think of you often. XOXO

Dlk -- Holy cow... 20 eggs! Congrats! Hope you get a great fert report and have some beautiful embies to work with. I would be ecstatic with anything more than 7 eggs since that's the most I've gotten.

Franny -- Thinking of you! You must be hella excited for ER. I can't wait to hear your good news afterwards. But... just in case... I do have everything crossed for you.

Tiger -- Thanks! The necklace was a gift from one of my employees who went to Thailand. It's definitely unique and is a conversation piece for sure. How are you feeling?

Karin -- I used IVFMeds.com. I'll let you know how it works out for sure. MUCH cheaper. I don't exercise in the 2ww, other than walking my dog. But I always did before and after my BFP. Just didn't want to risk messing up implantation. Cellulite is mostly hereditary, so if you have it and you are a healthy weight, it's tough to control. But toning exercises can help. Squats are good, as are "step ups".Great to build & tone a butt. Here's an example. http://exercise.about.com/library/blbestbutt.htm I would also pick up some resistance bands and a good DVD to show you how to use them. Some of my close friends are personal trainers and own a gym. So I've learned a lot from them. Junk food is definitely NOT what you need. Reduce carbs a little bit... don't eat them after lunchtime and increase your protein instead. Carbs are fuel and are best consumed when you are most active, not late in the day when you are winding down. When they aren't burned, they turn to fat... or in your case, additional cellulite. You can even pick up a good protein shake mix at GNC and supplement with one per day between meals. Your goal is to increase lean body mass... not fat mass.

Well work is getting busy, so I need to cut this short. Everyone have a great day!
