Thanks for the well wishes, BB! 
Thanks for the prayers, Kayla! Hope you get better soon! 
Thanks for the well wishes and confidence, Cassidy! The IVF nurse is anticipating a smooth cycle for me - I hope she's right!
Oh, I'm so sorry, Amelia!
My prayers are with you and Pete. I can't imagine how you are feeling now. I've left a message for you at your journal.
Welcome, Sarah!
Sandy, thanks for the well wishes and confidence! I hope it works the first time, too! FX'd for your the BD-athon! 
Thanks!, I'll be sure to keep that in mind! I'm not sure what they'll have me on, yet, aside from the bcp's I'm already taking. 
Pretty pictures, Katrina!
Yay for the new job, Nichole, and best wishes for it!
Sorry you are feeling so pessimistic about TTC, though! I hope you get a BFP soon, but I understand needing to set a time limit on how long you TTC before moving on. Hopefully this NTNP break will help you re-energize and hopefully your bfp is right around the corner, though. 
Femara is def worth a try, for you, I'd say, so there is still good hope. Hang in there!
BB, I'm so sorry you can't have your visit with the in-laws for Christmas, and that Tristan has the pox! I hope he gets better soon! And sorry that your DH has to work on the holidays! Maybe you can celebrate Christmas on a day he's off?
Yay for the insurance grievance working out in your favor, Nichole!! And maybe you and DH can leave each other cute little notes, to help when you can't see each other much?

I read that only 30% of women can finish from internal stimulation alone and the rest need external stimulation, and even among those who can finish from penetration alone, it doesn't happen all the time and some are more regular about it than others (like some can finish with penetration alone, sometimes, but do better with external stim, and yet others finish best with penetration and finish regularly with it alone).
External is more reliable/easier for me, but internal works really well at certain times. Sometimes I'm content to not finish and just feel good without finishing (like it's a massage or something). It all depends on the mood I'm in. DH isn't fussed as long as I feel good, and if I want to finish he'll do his best to get me there or help me, if I want him to, or I finish myself before or after just to speed things along.
Cassidy, you're lucky to have such great access to toys! We have to order online or trek all the way out to the Hustler store, if we want them (although we're lucky to live not too far from the Hustler store).
DH and I have been planning to go to the Hustler store, again, at some point, but have yet to do it. The rabbit ears are so popular and well known, and I keep hearing good things about them, so perhaps I should finally invest in some, when we go. Maybe that would be a good way to celebrate that sex is all about fun for us, again, now.

Congrats on your great scan results, Kayla!
Thanks for letting us know about Amelia, BB. I'm so sorry it happend,
but I'm glad she doesn't need a D&C at least, and that she is with Pete. Sending her and Pete my love and hugs and prayers.
BB, sorry you got a bfn, but what a hopeful looking chart! FX'd for an evenutal BFP!
The cookies look good, BB!
(Jinkies, it's like the best of times and worst of times, here!)
AFM: AF started on Sun.,
so I am now officially in my first IVF cycle! Took my first bcp today and will continue thru Jan. 6th. On Jan. 6th I will have an u/s to check to see if my ovaries are ready to start stims, and if they are I will start stims on Jan 10th and hopefully have ER on Jan. 21st or 22nd.
Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays, everyone!
