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

[moni77]

Yep - I am a lawyer - bring on the jokes. I do litigation - I like the trials and hate the paperwork.

So I have a had a headache for the last couple of days and I have lost 5 pounds since the retrieval date... so mixed signals there. We have decided to go in for the beta on SUnday, let their call go to voicemail and listen to it Monday (the day of everyone's bdays - hubbies twin brothers and his niece)!

Terri - I definitely plan to sit down with the doctor for a discussion before moving onto another cycle. I am not shelling out the money again without knowing why it was such a poor result and what they plan to do differently to make it a better one. I think if they are immediately putting you on BCP then you do not want to go the Lupron route - Erin did that because they had her to take a cycle off. (I am prob combining blogs with this post here - sorry.)

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Yes! Like a fancier subway with pastries and soups too. Their tomato basil bread makes amazing grilled cheese. Now I am going to need to stop this weekend since I will be meeting my Aunt for brunch near one.

Terri- thinking of you today Fx Fx

Moni - sorry about the headache. Do you think it's hormone related or sinuses? I hope you get some relief soon

Fezzle- Have fun

 

[Wish4another1]

I just wanted to say I love all these pictures!!!

it was so nice to see what you guys look like!!

I like Panera but I don't visit starbucks much I don't drink coffee... i know... freak of nature (especially since I am in the army)
but I do like Starbucks oatmeal!!!

Happy Wednesday ladies!! to ya!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Moni-Yeah I talked to ERose and she said that she started the Lupron because she wanted to get started soon. I don't have to take a cycle off. I'm thinking that after I get the call today, I'll try to set something up with the doctor for next week (after the holiday) and he can tell me to my face what's up. hee hee.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Praying for your miracle today, Terri!

Negative results today.

My doctor is happy that I'm going to try again (of course!), and he said that he is really surprised that my results were negative because everything was just about perfect this cycle. He is going to increase my meds in the beginning (so I guess the menopur and Gonal F), and hopefully I will get a few more follies/eggs, and have an opportunity for some frosties. He just left me a message so I didn't talk to him, but it is nice that he called me instead of the nurses. It sucks, but what can you do.

I'm looking forward to wine, coffee and beer at draft day. Oh, and I get to pick up a foster dog this afternoon. It's a little 3 month old that had an infection after her spay surgery. She will be at our house for a week. Unfortunately that's the silver lining.

Hi Everyone

I think I have uploaded a photo. This was taken a few months back when I won a dollshouse in a raffle.

I've had such bad pmt. My poor husband. I've been so mean to him. I just can't help it. I think I was more attached to the nugget that I thought and pmt is a kick in the teeth and being soooo weepy anyway doesn't help.

I've been trying to go back through the thread and get to know everyone a bit better but I haven't got far through it.

Ok photo didn't work. I'll work on another one.

I've never been checked out for irregular cycles. I went to the doctor in my early 20s and she pretty much said I was wasting her time so though naivety and embarrassment I never went back.

Ok, back to work. It's easy to procrastinate when I work from home.

 

[Katie Potatie]

Hi, just stalk this thread now and again because so many of the ladies from the "Oldies" group came here. But good gravy, everyone is so attractive on this thread! Just wanted to say that. And I'm out....

 

[terripeachy]

Katie-You're silly because you're pretty too! HA!!HA!!

Spud..sometimes the pictures are too large and won't load. You have to click 'go advanced' and then you can add it from your computer. If you have it saved on a website, I think you can do it on the main reply screen. There is a lot to catch up on, I would just start from here. HA!!HA!! Here's the quick recap. What is PMT?

Katie-Random prego stalker popping in to give us ego boosts.
Wish-Another not so random stalker popping in to give us ego boosts.
terripeachy-Same bday as Taurus, first IVF was a bust...moving forward; always a cheerleader no matter what. Life's too short to be upset about stuff.
kfs1-On her last IUI, and hopefully this one will be THE ONE.
moni-On her first IVF with results that she's not happy with but will also be THE ONE (or two)
Bookwrmgal-Not sure how far along she is, but she just got a new job, and is feeling sick, and mad at her MIL, but she's hanging tough.
Taurus-Thread champion and leader, I think she's like a day behind or ahead of bookworm in her pregnancy but ready for vacation.
Rainshiny-in the process of adoption and working on her profile over the weekend. Her second IUI (?) was a bust.
Kbrain-Mom of one...trying naturally with amazing charts! Not sure where she lives...hmmm...
Mommy2-Grr...Um...HA!!HA!! I think she's just trying naturally. eeks. Sorry for not remembering all the details.
Someday-Waiting for September to get her 8cm cyst removed, but ready to get on that BD train.
Fezzle-Finally figuring out her cycles and soon should be ready to get prego almost naturally but she takes meds to keep her cycle as normal as possible. So that still counts as a natural pregnancy to me!
Galvan-Waiting to move back to TX so she can have a surgery to unfortunately remove one ovary. She had a teratoma tumor which produces HCG, so when she thought she was pregnant naturally, it was an evil tumor. She lives in Mexico though with her guapo (handsome) husband.
Nikki79-Also lives in Australia, but on the opposite side of Taurus (I think). Been TTC for 1.5 years for #2, and getting frustrated, but always making the best of everything. Her little boy is TOO CUTE.

That's us in a nutshell. I think I got everyone. I'm going to have to read back on Mommy2 because I feel bad.

 

[MommytoLBG]

Omgoodness! I am laughing so hard right now Terri! You nailed the threads recap!!

First sorry for the neg results however, awesome attitude about it. You always find a way to make a positive (silver lining) and pick us up!

Afm...yes we are trying naturally after the mc in June. Well natural except for opks lol. Don't feel bad. I never have much going on!

 

[terripeachy]

Mommy2-Love ya!! Ok cool. hee hee. I'm sure you have WAY more going on than some of us do. Our lives are in two week cycles, and all consuming.

Glad I got the assessment of the group fairly correct. Now maybe even more BFP chasers will join because they won't be so overwhelmed!

 

[moni77]

Terri - Awesome as always!!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Terri - hahaha! No new job here but I sure hope you are right and I start a new job! And it's 10.5 weeks lol

Sorry about the BFN but it sounds like your Dr is super positive!

Hi gals! Nothing new here, aside from my decision that I don't feel like cooking so it's grilled cheese and fries for dinner.

 

[kfs1]

Terri - LOVED the recap. You're the best.

 

[terripeachy]

Bookwrmgal-have you heard from that job? Maybe I keep missing when you give an update. Good morning, Taurus!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Not a thing. It's only been 2 weeks though.

 

[Taurus8484]

Morning my twinnie Peachy ……….little behind this morning as I have been in meetings so its nearly lunch time…..(yes Im naughty and doing this when suppose to be working………luckily I have an office all to myself and can do it )

Fezzle – good luck with all the …..fingers crossed

Moni – I got one guess right then, you just looked like a lawyer ……..best of luck for beta on Sunday and maybe headaches is a good sign……..any other symptoms??

Wish – its been awhile…….nice temp for you

Hi kfs, Mommy, Book.....and anyone I missed

Peachy – I’m sorry about the ……….I really am. Doctor was surprised it was negative which means he thinks you’re a really good candidate for a successful pregnancy, that’s the silver lining, he is confident it’s going to happen and it will……….enjoy that wine, coffee and beer and foster dog…….cute, want to see a picture…….oh and PMT is pre menstrual tension…………love the recaps

And I think Book and I are due on the same date......well going by our tickers we are.

Spud – I thought that’s what husbands were for……….for when we got bad pmt to take it out on them …..wow cant believe the Doctor said that…….I would definitely go to different Doctor and start some testing.

KateiePotatie – you just made the thread even more attractive…….See your preggo with little boy…..congratulations…..little boys are pretty awesome

afm - tomorrow is first ante natal appointment, then beach time so I will be MIA for a few days girls as no internet there........

 

[GalvanBaby]

Terri, so sorry about the BFN, but love your positive attitude and that the RE sounds confident because he was surprised at the negative. Praying for a BFP cycle with a few frosties!

As for me, I am moved into Texas, but like I said am staying most days in Matamoros with OH. Terri, he is very guapo too. He is my rock and the only person around who can care for me post-op. Next week is the September! I am getting closer and closer to removing this thing. Speaking of which, it has started hurting off and on. It feels like O pains or cyst pains.

Moni, I graduate with my associate's degree in paralegal science in a couple of weeks. I am starting the bachelor's degree program in a couple of weeks as well. I can't wait to get past the surgery, so I can get a job as a paralegal. I have applied for a position as a paralegal here before, but haven't made it past the interview. I hope I have better luck once i have my degree in hand, but if not I love teaching English for now. I hope that I can eventually go to law school. I am stuck between law school and getting my master's degree. I guess we will see once I finish the next 2 years. Praying for a positive beta on SUnday!!

 

[Nikki1979]

Terri - I am so sorry about the negative results. I jst wish I could be a big beary hug right now. Glad to see your positivity and I am sure your next cycle will be a success.

Taurus - Good luck with your appointment and have fun at the beach. Its warming up here in Melbourne as well.

Hv to make a few calls now.. hope everyone has a good day/night.

 

[somedayisnow]

Terri - sorry about the BFN but your baby is coming. He/she/they are just being stubborn. Your recap was spot on, though, and made me laugh.
