Bookwrmgal-What a great scan picture! I hope this interview is the best and you find the perfect job! I think caramel apples aren't that difficult to make, if worse comes to worse. You might be in luck too because it's fall, and caramel apples are the best prior to trick or treating! I hope you get your sweet tooth satisfied..how are you feeling emotionally, aside from being panicked about your job. Did you tell your doctor how you feel?

Doxie-It's good that you're keeping track. Once you get off BCP it's anyone's guess, especially if you had PCOS or any other issue before you took BCP. I was very regular before I went on the pill, and I'm still pretty regular now, so I lucked out. I would still say that my temps have been wackadoodle ever since I started taking them, so I'm really of no help. I'm just waiting for Thursday for you. hee hee.

I was pretty regular UNTIL I started tracking things. It was very weird. Then whenever I took a trigger shot - my period wouldn't come for weeks later...

 

[Taurus8484]

Nikki – sorry AF got you early…….Have you had your blood test yet??? Got the results??

Kfs1 – Hope your feeling better from your “few” beverages….

Doxie – I would have tested by now…………your doing well to not

KBrain – hope things are going well

Mommy –

37andhopeful – welcome

Peachy – Nearly stimming time………..and what is cornbread?!?!?!?!?!

Moni – yay for heartbeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Book – great scan pic…………I have no idea what caramel apples are but I want one………now!!! Hope you get the job...

Hi anyone I missed.........

afm - well this is my scan picture......thought I would put mine up there.....not much else happening, had to tell people as my tummy has definately popped out and people were starting to guess anyways.....

 

[Nikki1979]

Wow - loving all the scan pictures Congratulations girl, I am so happy for u all.

I got my cd3 blood test done yesterday and will have an ultrasound next Tuesday to check for adenomyosis again. I have been feeling a bit down and have been googling and its next to impossible getting pregnant naturally with adenomyosis ( its basically endometriosis of the uterus). I guess hubby is getting frustrated too so called monash ivf and they recommended a doctor whose area of expertise is my condition. There is a 3-4 month wait to see her so 2015 may be my year.
DH is not feeling well and is home for 3 days and he is such a baby when he is sick so will be in lurk mode for a few days.

 

[Doxie]

Look at all the little humans cookin!

I want to at least get to test before AF even if she flies in! I just went potty and no sign yet!

I had been on BCPs for over 20 years! I think I was regular and recall no painful pms ever when I wasn't on them. I was only on them to not get pregnant.

Cornbread is a bread made in a cast iron skillet using cornmeal and flour. I put the peppers, corn kernels and cheese in it to make it extra yummy. You also put baking soda/powder, milk and an egg in the mix. I also added a bit of sugar because I like my cornbread a little bit sweet.
Your scan picture looks clear too. Yay!! Oh and a caramel apple is an apple on a stick dipped in caramel. They are SO sweet but also really good. The tart apple and the sweet caramel. Yum.

Nikki-I hope the IVF place works out for you with your condition. I'm sad that you have it, though. In Australia, so you guys have insurance to cover the costs or at least part of it?

 

[Taurus8484]

OOOhhh Peachy............Im not sure about the whole cornbread thing........Im sure it tastes good though but give me a caramel apple...........

And IVF here isnt covered fully, you can get some money for insurance if you have private health insurance and Medicare (which is our Government Medical Program) will also help a little, but your still out of pocket a fair bit

 

[Nikki1979]

Yep IVF is not fully funded..I have a few options though. There is a low cost clinic where my out of pocket would be approximately $1600 per cycle and if I go with the major one then I would be paying $3800 for the first cycle and if I have extra embryos then the transfer for subsequent cycles would be $1600.

 

[terripeachy]

Ooh that's cheap (compared to ours). I hope you don't have to go through it Nikki, but if you do, at least there is a low cost clinic nearby.

Doxie-Good luck! One more day until test day.

 

[kfs1]

Moni/Bookwrm/Taurus - Love the ultrasounds ladies! So amazing.

Taurus - Cornbread may sound strange but it's soooooo good.

Doxie - Hope that witch stays away.

Nikki - I'm sorry about your condition but it sounds like you have a good plan in place should you need to move on to IVF. I hope you can get in to see that doctor sooner than later.

Nothing to report. Just waiting to O.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Love the pics ladies!

Hi everyone! I have a job interview with a criminal defense law firm today which is my second choice for law specialty. Praying I get the position! I go to the Dr tomorrow so hopefully all us OK there. I bought an HPT, but keep forgetting to use it to see if I still have the hormone or not.

 

[Doxie]

I'm out.

 

[KBrain3377]

Sorry Doxie!! I was excited to see if you had tested yet....good luck with this cycle, fx for you.

Hi Taurus - what a beautiful scan! Don't you love when you can almost see their little baby face on the monitor? Soooo cool. Oh and about the cornbread, I know it's a weird American thing, and it takes a while to grow on you, at least it did for me (I'm Russian-born), but it really can be very tasty.

Moni and Bookworm - both ladies you have beautiful scans we well. Man, we seem to have quite a number of LO on the way, don't we?

Afm, I've been so busy trying to keep up with my 14 month old who just started walking yesterday by himself, and now won't stand still for a minute. Plus I've been feeling like I got hit by a train every day for a week now - so exhausted!!! Nausea keeps creeping up, but not too bad and only a few times a day, so I'm surviving. Really sick of the daily Crinone progesterone gel - are any of you ladies doing this? If you are, you know how gross "it" can get down there... sorry tmi. Last night my hubs wanted to get some action, but the cottage cheese discharge is the last thing to make me feel in the mood. Oh well, he can wait.

 

[terripeachy]

Sorry again Doxie!

Galvan-Good luck today with your interview. I know you'll do great!

Kbrain-yeah, any type of progesterone is disgusting. It definitely does not make me feel like "having a party." hee hee.

AFM-Not too much going on. I think my post bcp AF will be here any minute. I had terrible cramps last night and today I saw a dash of light pink, so she needs to come on so she can move on.

I got a mani/pedi today (had to boost my spirits after dropping so much $ on my meds), and I got them painted in bright Orioles orange. The whole city is so pumped for the orange and black. Go O's.

 

[moni77]

FXedGalvan!!

Sorry Doxie...

I am taking the progesterone shots - so no cottage cheese but a sore BUM! I was really tired today and took a nap when I got home from work. Otherwise not many symptoms. A little headachy but no real nausea since that first week.

My first appointment with the reg ob is in 3 weeks - but Ithink I see the RE for the next 2...

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Sorry Doxie

FX Galvan!

Terri- that mani/pedi sounds heavenly! I am still feeling depressed so I will talk to the Dr about it on the 1st. I am also super duper hormonal still though.

Kbrain- I still take the pro emerita prog cream. I don't want to wean myself off until I talk to the Dr. Congrats on your active little guy! But what timing for him to start running all over the place!

Taurus- caramel apples and cornbread are both very delicious. Not together though lol. I love cornbread with a nice pot of chili. Yum!

Hi everyone else!

AFM- Crazy day. I wound up losing my voice about 8pm here last night (sinuses). It was still iffy this morning so I wound up not going to work because I couldn't risk not having a voice for the interview. Interview went really well. The only downside is that the pay is low and there aren't many hours but something is definitely better than nothing and the librarians were all really nice. I got a call from the genetic counselor and come to find out the cell free DNA testing is free with my secondary insurance through Medicaid. So I rushed off to the city to have that done. I didn't realize I had to specify I wanted to know gender though.

 

[Taurus8484]

Nikki – oh no……….the man flu……the most deadliest of colds and flus…….hope you survive ok

Peachy – you still haven’t sold me on the whole cornbread thing……….and what is Orioles??? I swear you throw something new on here each day I’ve never heard of just to test my knowledge of USA

Kfs1 – doesn’t look like you’re going too “o” early after all

Galvan – best of luck with interview

Doxie –

KBrian – my little guy has been walking since 11 months so I know all about it…….you will never catch him now. Ive never been on progesterone so cant help with that problem, but I know in my pregnancies in general my discharge is a lot more, not cottage cheese though……..its not itchy is it, not an infection??

Hi Moni….. and anyone I missed

Book – best of luck with interview as well……….oooohhh does this mean your finding out the sex of bubba???

afm - not much happening. Nausea at night is slowly disappearing which is good. Havent dry retched in awhile either.......would like to get my second wind but hasnt happened yet

 

[GalvanBaby]

I feel like the interview went great! I met with my future supervising attorney, and we got along great! She explained the position and what she expects. Then, she said that I just need to meet with the firm's head attorney, and she will call me as soon as she finds out when he can meet with me. She does personal injury, and the head attorney does criminal, so I will be doing personal injury and very little criminal defense only when they need me which will be rare. She says it is interesting, I hope so. I haven't taken the Torts class, but I am supposed to take it this year. She did say that she would be patient with me while I get the hang of actually working in a law firm because she is a new attorney. She graduated last year from law school, and said that she remembers how nothing seemed to click at first. Thank God for an understanding and what seems like a great future supervisor!

 

[Spudtastic]

Kfs1 -I see you are waiting to o. When do you think it will be? I'm also waiting to o, maybr in 2 to 4 days. I got a faint line on opk today so it's working towards it.

 

[terripeachy]

Taurus-The Orioles are Baltimore's major league baseball team. We won the division two nights ago, so everyone is really excited. Oh, and an oriole is a black and orange bird, therefore, our colors are black, white and orange. You don't have to want to eat cornbread. That leaves more for me! I have to keep you on your toes for your next visit!

Galvan-Yay!! I hope the job is as great as they are making it out to seem. You sound really happy though.

Bookwrmgal-I hope your doctor can help you. My mani/pedi was quite nice. It'll be a while before I get another one though. Time to buckle down. When do you find out about the job?

Hi to everyone else! :wave:
