BFP Chasers...........Feel free to join....

Thanks all! Nikki-I'm glad your uncle is doing better, but sorry you got sick in the process.

Galvan-I put my test date as the 17th on the testing thread so I'll test then and see what happens. It's four days earlier than my beta so I should know by then for sure, right? These babies are already five days old! And if I have triplets, wow. Ha ha. I'm still just praying for one.

Taurus-that's awesome that you finally had red meat. Were you scared to try it? I'm happy you felt your taps too. Yay!!
 
Spud I feel for you and I also understand the need for ME time, thank god I don't have that problem here, well maybe even a little of the opposite as my DF is OCD with cleaning and told me when we moved in together he was living in chaos hahahah well he had to relax a little because I came with three pets and two teenage girls. The other day he complained and I said "that's how I clean, if you want it done better hire a professional" and that was that. You know when he really noticed how much I do? When I went out of town for a week. Can you take a week away to go visit family? You'd get your time for yourself and he'd miss you and see how much you do for him.

Caribbean, we were thinking about st Thomas the beaches are so beautiful and the contrast between the mountains and the clear blue ocean water just makes everything look like a dream. About the SA, I understand how sensitive man are about their swimmers, it wasn't easy convincing him they would work, I almost had to force him, even use threats LOL and he started mostly against his will till we had another SA a couple of months later and he saw the difference it had made, now he never misses a dose. We started with a lot of different things separately but now he's on fertilaid for man plus count boost, L cartinine, coQ10, a multi and extra vit C there's a thread with a lot of success stories after the supplements. I'll post you a link

Here it is Caribbean
 
No I wasnt Peachy............all of a sudden I craved red meat and couldnt wait to eat it!!!!

And fish, had some on Sunday night and gosh it tasted good too.....

But then yesterday I walked past a building site and I could smell paint and starting dry retching........but all in all it seems the nausea and food aversions have gone away
 
Fezzle, that good that at least now you know what is up, and how to treat it. Fx for a quick BFP now!

Terri, I need to go to the testing thread now that we are TTC again! LOL Oh yeah, the 17th should show for sure then! Praying this is it for you, Terri!

Taurus, that is awesome that you can eat again!! I hate food aversions, especially when it is something you absolutely love! With my daughter, I could not eat shrimp, and it was my favorite food. I was about 12 weeks when we went to eat at Joe's Crab Shack, and the end result was not pretty. That food aversion lasted for 5 years! I think it was more mental after birth though.

Nikki, Glad your uncle is doing better!
 
Love it..........every time I hear shrimp I think of Forrest Gump..........we call them prawns over here

Joe's Crab Shack..........love the name

Yeah, good to hear about your Uncle Nikki
 
Caribbean, it's been a long long time since I've visited St. Thomas. The jealousy is strong, my friend. STRONG. :coffee:

Fezzle, I'm glad you finally got a diagnosis. Now at least you and your doctor can come up with a plan. Just one step closer to your BFP.

Terri, Congrats on the superstar transfer.

Taurus, the thought of having to give up read meat makes me weep. :cry: Glad you can now have it.

No updates for me. Just chillin at home.

ETA: I do have news. Good news. Got my biopsy results today and the cyst was benign. Yep, good news, indeed.
 
Thanks, Taurus. I had to go back to my original comment because I mistakenly identified Spud and not you as the red meat eater. :haha: Speaking of read meat, I think I'm going to heat up some left over prime rib and chow down. :happydance:
 
Spud - TOTALLY understand. My DH is a slob, too. He always leaves his dirty socks in the middle of the living room and dumps his clothes NEXT TO the hamper on the floor. Boggles my mind.

Caribbean - MAN, loving those pics. Absolutely beautiful. Oh, and I totally hear you about people not being able to spell these days. It's completely ridiculous.

Fezzle - I hate the stupid flashing smiley! I've definitely gotten them for several days myself. I'm so happy that you finally have an official diagnosis and have begun treatments. :)

Taurus - Awww. You're feeling the kicks. :) Too cute. And congrats on being able to eat other things finally! Hopefully the rest of your pregnancy will be a breeze.

Nikki - Great news about your Uncle but I'm sorry that you're now sick. Booo. Try to take it easy over there.

Book - I can't believe how far along you are already! Happy things are going well.

Bbliss - My DHs counts definitely improved after being on Fertilaid! I mean, I can't prove that that was the reason but they were noticeably different.

Someday - Excellent news!!! I'm sure you feel so relieved. How are you feeling physically?

Had my RE appt yesterday. I won't bore you with the details but the sonohysterogram went well. I'm on BCPs for another 2 weeks and then will be starting the injections for IVF. If all works out, egg retrieval will be sometime around 11/5 or 11/6 with egg transfer following 2-5 days after. :)

I'm going to the Cape this weekend with friends - oysters, clams, beach, relaxation. Ahhhh. Super-excited. :)
 
Someday, that is amazing news!

Someone was microwaving eggs this morning at work and I came the closest to vomiting that I have gotten since this pregnancy began. Blecch! I guess baby doesn't like eggs.

It's DH's and my anniversary weekend of our first date and when we got legally married so he is taking me to a fancy brunch at this swanky resort. I admit I am a little concerned about a brunch buffet and getting the money's worth because of my egg and smell of bacon aversion but then I saw there is a crepe station and knew I would have no problem eating $30 worth of crepes and belgian waffles!
 
Someday, that is great news!!! I am going to try to get my dr to remove mine if it i still there at the end of the month. She wants to hold out to give me the chance to conceive naturally, but I prefer to live a long, healthy life and conceive with donor eggs or adopt than this thing be malignant.

Very exciting, KFS!!

Happy anniversary, Book!!!
 
kfs/Bbliss-That is awesome that you guys are still on the same exact schedule. How exciting. What meds are you taking?

kfs1-Have a great trip to the cape and enjoy all the seafood you can. Summer is pretty much gone, and definitely hoodie weather but it'll be nice to be with friends.

someday-Uh yeah..thanks for editing your post. Of course that is great news. You forgot all about that hitchhiker. Now you can move forward freely. Woohoo!!

Book-Happy anniversary!! I'd be all over the crepe station as well. Savory and sweet. I only like eggs fried hard, or hard boiled eggs, or omelettes. I'm so weird when it comes to eggs, but bacon and all the other breakfast foods i'm all.about. HA!!HA!! My hubs and I are going to brunch on Sunday for our anniversary meal. Then we're eating our wedding cake when we get home. Yum yum.
 
Terri- Happy Anniversary to you as well! Our anniversary is Monday and I haven't decided about the cake. I figure since we got the cake at our wedding, maybe I should wait until Jan 4 to eat the 2 slices we froze. And then I remember how delicious it was :happydance:

I normally love all sorts of eggs and bacon. Baby likes bacon but not the smell of it cooking, so as long as I am stuffed up, we're good lol.
 
kfs1, Yay! Everything is happening so fast for you. I'm glad your RE visit went well. :flower: Have fun on the Cape. I miss visiting now that I live on the West coast. Re: me? I'm feeling well. I'm still sore but honestly it just feels like I had an extra long abs workout. Other than that all is well.

Book, Happy Anniversary! And hit the crepe bar like it's your job and you're up for a promotion. mmmh crepes! :happydance:

Galvan, Congrats on the new job! Also, it does feel great having my hitchhiker (thanks, Terri :haha:) kicked to the curb. It's so weird to know that something that didn't belong there was hanging out in my body affecting my fertility. Hopefully, you'll get pregnant this cycle but if not maybe it is best to just remove it for piece of mind. :hugs:

Terri, Happy Anniversary to you too. How old is that wedding cake? :blush:
 
Ok ladies! I need advice!! As you know I got a job to start Monday. Well, I applied with a national organization that helps DV victims with immigration issues. This was back when we thought we were going to Atlanta. Well, they called me. This is my dream job, immigration and domestic violence victims. If I leave, we will be separated again, but if I stay I will miss out on this major opportunity. I don't know what to do. What would you do in this situation?
 
Someday-The place that baked our cake doesn't think people should save them because they don't have the proper freezers to keep them tasting yummy, so they are making us a new topper and I pick it up tomorrow! We had two different flavored layers at the wedding and I can't remember the flavor my husband picked, so we're just getting my flavor. It was like a pear cake with caramel filling. It was a white cake and SO tasty. I don't remember tasting it at the wedding, but I tasted it at the tasting AND I will taste it again Sunday. I can't wait. I'm not even a cake person so you know it has to be good. I would choose more dinner and a cheese plate over dessert anyway.

Galvan-Tough call. My sister is all about moving without a care for her family, husband or anyone else, so she would say go for it. I would like to stay with my family, husband so I would suck up the teaching job. But...you can always go back and teach if you find you miss your husband or don't really like the job. Write out the pros and cons and see which job wins. Maybe the DV job has good benefits and vacation so you can fly back to wherever you are living now. HA!!HA!!
