Can I just say.... i

u guys! Brought a smile to my face tonight!
I didn't get a chance to do my usual am check in - i spilled my powder foundation all over the bathroom and it caused me to be late! So I'm doing the pm one instead.
Where to start??
Becks - sorry you're still feeling sicky... and poo on the new work ppl, they don't want what you've got, do they?! Hope the flu is warding off AF tho... just one more day!!! You can do it! The bum operation isn't going to interfere with your IVF is it?? I guess not, you would have said! I'm sure you've lost more than 1 lb, it's just AF's luggage that makes it seem like less! Once you send her packing you'll see! I agree with you on the chat. Steph, Mia & i used it one night. It was good! We saved you guys from sooooo much extra stuff! We all need to coordinate our schedules for chatting!!
Miracle - I would love to help you out with the wait til June... but I can't get January to move fast enough and there's only 1 more day! Time does creep by when you're waiting.....ugh. Don't let Steph and Mia give you a hard time about working for the government... I'm one of "THOSE" too... little do they know that us government people have "connections"... they don't wanna mess around!
Mia - Excellent Fertilization Report! A+ - I'm still all confused about the day 3 vs day 5 issue... I know each clinic has a strong opinion one way or the other, but I just don't know. Mine likes the day 3 option and only does day 5 if there is any question about which is the best to put back. I'm not so sure I'm in agreement. but whatdya gonna do?
Jackie - Are we doing AF jigs for you? I wasn't sure from your post. I know you want to do Feb, if clinic can take you, right? Why wouldn't they? Do you have restrictions like they do overseas?
Steph - WOOOHOOO! Congrats on the job offer! How long do you have before you have to give them an answer? I know you have some other options. You are just so desirable and in demand... must be nice to be you - well, after this stint in hell is over, anyway. I'm not surprised you don't feel anything yet, I didn't feel anything right away either and both times i was working on 2 dozen... did you before?? Glad the cramps are gone, tho. I guess i complained about her being away so much that she's punishing me by making my ovaries turn against me from where ever she resides.... ovary mind-control. wicked.

FOLLIES DANCE
Chris - Oh honey... I'm sorry things aren't going as you'd hoped. I know nothing about IUI but I have to say that if it were me,.... I'd go with what I know.... You got pg with IUI, not with IVF and if this cycle doesn't look promising... esp if insurance is a factor... I'd stick to what I knew. Same reason I'm not doing herbs before this cycle... it's not superstition, just analytical. But that's just me. Listen to your doctors! I know I sometimes feel like they're nuts and should listen to me, (like i know what i'm talking about, right?!) but they do know their stuff... but ultimately God is in control!
Su - Hope you enjoyed your couch potato time. Sorry you're so tired! Hope that energy boost kicks in soon!!
Angel - Sorry you are sick too! Man what is going on with you guys? Maybe the sickiness is keeping AF from you too?! (Wait, then what's my deal?!) Hope she comes soon... ok, seriously, this AF stuff is getting OLD! Hope your business trip went well... it's good to have you back!
Stephjim - I'm so jealous, sleeping in until 2!! Though i don't know when i'd ever get back to bed if i did! Sorry Dh is annoying you. They do that. No matter how cute, sweet, etc, etc. they are... sometimes they are just pains in the butt! Well, here's to a firm resolution to QUIT! Pin this to his head...

he's gonna have to stop anyway, cause you're gonna get a BFP in a week and he better get used to no smokes! (I do know how you feel tho, I have steps too.. it's not the same umphf! that you might like..)
Jen1 - Thinking of you!! Hope you got home safely!
For Jen1 & Stephjim -
Nims, Rachel, BeachBaby Jayne, and Shantala - hope you all are fat & happy little mommas! (and you too, Su!)
OK>> I THINK I got everybody... if not, SORRY!
Ok, so here's the quick and dirty on me... RN said if no AF by Mon, I will go in and get BW and meds to make me start (BW?? I'm NOT PG! Not a possibility) I talked to LAc today, I'm going in tomorrow to get tons of needles in me - speaking of pincushion! I'll look like one! So hopefully that will get things GOING! I'm starting to get grouchy. Not a good color for me. Our secretary told me today that i reminded her of the dude from Beetlejuice!

Like I said, not a good color.
So hopefully I'll be back tomorrow at this time to say that AF has arrived (and for Angel as well - and for Becks (after 6pm only, please!))
Nighty night girls... ya'll are wearin' me out!
