OMG...........I forgot the chocolate. I had a crunchie bar and I was like..........what is this!!!!!! Definately taste better here.

They may have it now, but they didnt when I was here. About 8 years ago now.......I cant have subway without it

Wish I knew that about the chicken parm...........I battled everywhere to find one

A mince meat pie........steamy hot with tomato sauce or ketchup as you call it I think..........mmmmm might get me one for lunch

Squirrels - you know I didnt know what I was expected. Bigger I think and certainly not as fast.

Lemon/Lime and BItters is basically Sprite, little bit of Lime Cordial and little bit of Bitters (which is a taster you put into a drink)..........yum very refreshing especially on a hot day.

What really threw me though was that we both are English speaking countries primarily but when I talked to someone from down South........I had no frickin idea what they were saying......they couldnt understand me and I couldnt understand them

But boy.........I had a fantastic time over there

 

[MommytoLBG]

I am cracking up!! Thank you Taurus and book!

 

[Taurus8484]

Hahaha....your welcome Mommy.......where are you from?? Doesnt say in your thing on the side.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Ok so I am stressing. Stressing means research, research, research.
My Eosinophil count was 6, and should be 0. I have read on multiple sites that this fights against abnormal or unknown human cells and can cause early miscarriage. I wonder if this is the problem? A girl was prescribed prednisone to lower it, so could I just maybe stop this MC?

Anyone heard of this?

 

[Taurus8484]

No I havent heard of it before sorry Galvan. Definately bring it up tomorrow though.

 

[MommytoLBG]

I am from PA. Several Starbucks in our area but I am closer to Dunkin. Been to Sonic but none are close enough to eat there often. Plus I have Celiac so Sonic is not friendly to me...a heavy Italian population here as well so chicken parm is everywhere! I use sharpies for marking everything! What else? Hmmm...I know just moving 2 hours from where I grew up was culture shock. And that was within the same state!

 

[Taurus8484]

PA stands for?????.....Pennsylvania???? I know Book is CT but I dont know what that is either. Peachy is Maryland which I think is near Washington on the East Coast.....but cant say for sure.

Okay.......so to clarify chicken parm is a chicken schnitzel with a tomato sauce like sauce on top and then you put cheese on it and melt the cheese under a grill......does that sound like your chicken parm??

And what is Dunkin???

Nikki........where are you......Im pretty sure your the only Aussie chick on here with me.........

Arghhh - wrote a long post but stupid IE crashed!!

Galvan - no idea what that is but ttc and pregnancy throws us a curveball every single time. If its not one thing its another..I get so frustrated sometimes. I hope everything goes as planned in your next appointment.

Taurus - woohoo one more day and you get to see your little one. Its understandable to be excited and scared at the same time. Wishing you lots and lots of luck.

Bookwrmgal - good to see that you have graduated to OB and that the cramping has stopped.

Terri - I know it all seems like a pain right now but the end result is soo beautiful. Its like women who go through a bad labour..at the end they forget everything once they have their little one in their arms. Good luck and I hope your body responds the way it should.

AFM - still haven't ovulated. Hopefully it will be soon. I think ovulation is delayed either by my weightloss or my thyroid medication. My TSH is normal but my free t4s seem to be higher ( which kinda makes me hyper). I don't know whats happening with my body. I also have a blood clotting disorder and am seeing my haematologist to get my latest results and find out what is going to happen from next cycle.
Re: comparisons of countries - my hubby says he prefers kfc and mc chicken sandwiches from Canada. I don't find any difference but he did eat a lot of that when he was high school.

 

[MommytoLBG]

Galvan ~ sorry never heard that before either. Definitely worth looking into if it can prevent mc.

Taurus ~ yes Pennsylvania. CT is Connecticut so book is there. Which is next to NY. Then you have me in Pa which is next to/below NY. And Maryland is below Pa. We are all east coast gals and sorta neighbors lol. We do several weekenders in Maryland a year. Now you have a brief geography lesson of a very small part of the US lol.

And that's pretty much what our chick parm is. It's yummy! Dunkin is Dunkin Donuts. Big coffee chain. Good coffee. Coffee, donuts, sandwiches, muffins...

 

[MommytoLBG]

Hi Nikki ~ I was responding when you posted so missed your post.

 

[Taurus8484]

Glad to clear all that up Mummy........thanks and Im very upset now that there is chicken parm but I couldnt find it lol.........mmmmm donuts

Nikki - Do you track ovulation, use opks??? Sorry I cant remember if you were seeing a GP or a fertility specialist??

 

[Nikki1979]

After my second loss, my GP referred me to a fertility/recurrent miscarriages specialist. He did some blood tests and only issues were thyroid and low protein c ( blood clotting disorder) and everything else was normal. He said that they don't do thorough investigations unless you have had 3 miscarriages. He basically said that if I did IVF, it will cost me a lot as I am not medically infertile ( Ovulating, got pregnant 3 times and have a child).
Hubby and I want to try all natural methods first like supplements/accupuncture before thinking about IVF. I think I want to try clomid for a few months to see if it works as I have seen women with unexplained infertility conceiving on it. I am 35 so still have a few years left in me.

 

[Taurus8484]

Fair enough. I see you only lost one in April. Were you far along???

 

[kfs1]

Another biiiiiiif fat negative this morning. It's looking like my temps are purely P-driven. Beta tomorrow but I'd say I'm out.

 

[Fezzle]

Arrrgh- still holding out hope for you!

I'm still testing tomorrow. My spotting only turned out to be a few wipes on Tues night/Wed morning and I haven't had even a tinge since then, so it looks like it was a false alarm. But, I finally talked to the Dr who looked at my Day 21 results and he said it was a 'follicular phase' result so showed that I hadn't ovulated yet! So many it's just an anovulatory cycle. But, he also said that it might have been done at the wrong time since it's supposed to be done 7 days before my period and I haven't had it yet. I think if I did ovulate it was CD17 or 18, so maybe my P was still too low on CD21.

 

[terripeachy]

Kfs1-I'm still not giving up on you yet. Your temps are too good.

Fezzle-what?! Follicular phase levels? You have got to be kidding. Hopefully they can test you again and you'll have LP results. How frustrating.

Good convo to read this morning girls. Taurus-your experiences were funny. The sharpie made me laugh. I use them every day at work. It's a staple in my pencil/pen can.

Book-I forgot about he carbonation in a limeade. Yum. Hee hee. I get happy just thinking about them, but sad because I won't have one anytime soon.

Mommy2-do you come down here for the beach? I'm right outside of Baltimore.

I'm at the office for another ultrasound. I did my Ganirelix shot in the bathroom at work since I was there at 4:15. Ugh. The good news is that my day is going to go by quickly. Hope my follies are awake now. Hee hee.

 

[Fezzle]

It's probably too late now for this cycle- if I did ovulate when I think I did, the peak would have been over the weekend. All I can do now is wait to test or for AF! I'm hoping once I get my referral they'll be a bit better about timing of the Day 21 test. But, having it on my record will still show that I have a 'problem' at least. I think they'll try Clomid at first. I've read somewhere that it's the first step on the NHS for a few months, even before a HSG, but it probably depends on the clinic.

 

[terripeachy]

Trigger tonight ladies!! There was kind of mix up between my insurance/prescriptions yesterday and they were saying that I was over the limit. I thought I had it worked out, but I never received an email saying that my stuff has shipped. So, now that I am triggering tonight, I don't need any of that stuff if it is on its way. We'll see what happens today. I'm so glad my shots are over except the big one tonight. Oh, and get this, hubs got Ravens football tickets for the first preseason game, and there is no way he's doing my trigger after being out and drinking and such. After all that practice, and now I'm on my own for the big one. I hope I can do it. I have a huge SHARPIE circle on my butt where the needle goes.

 

[Fezzle]

Happy Trigger Day!
