Nice Vicky, you are going to have a baby! Oh yeah you are!!!
I've never smoked (except for pot) and I'm happy I never got into it. In Massachusetts, where I grew up, they put a ban on smoking in bars when I was in college. It was pretty funny to watch all of the smokers outside in a blizzard smoking.
In California there is also a no smoking ban like Megg's. San Francisco has taken it a step further. There is no smoking in any city owned property. So, you can't smoke in Golden Gate Park or any of the parks for that matter. It is really hard to smoke ciggies in SF. Ironically, cops don't bat an eyelash at people smoking pot. It is part of the SF culture here! (I quit 6 years ago when I decided I wanted a baby.)
Allie, I'm on CD 15 and no sign of Ov yet either. Now I'm not sure I want to try this cycle because of my MRI. They never called me today to schedule. I'm annoyed. I want to get this done and have an answer before I Ov! I really want to get back to trying this cycle!
Remember how I said I had a girlfriend FB me out of the blue yesterday and tell me she just had a D&C the day before? She's 38 and she was doing injections and IUI, like Meggles will be doing! Anyhoo, she got preggers on her 3rd attempt and her hubby's sperm wasn't so great. They were thrilled. She just lost it at 8.5 weeks. She is devastated. She and I haven't seen each other in 5 years or so, but she heard about my first mc and felt the need to reach out. Well today, she got a massage and started crying on her long walk home. She wracked her brain about who to call to comfort her. She picked me. I was so honored. She wanted to talk to someone who wouldn't say the wrong thing or give her advice. We talked for a good hour. We're going on a hike next Sunday. I'm so glad she reached out. It gives my losses some meaning. Her mom died 3 years ago so she can't even call her. I told her about this site and she's already been lurking. She gravitated to the "What Not To Say" thread in the MC section. She's already heard such crap from people. I'm so glad I'm not going to feed her a line of crap. It feels nice to be able to offer someone some comfort. And the best part is, when I see her next week, I get to give her a real life hug. Something I've wanted to give you all, but can't.
I'm going to hug her and think of all of you.
Ok, I had a little wine
so I'm feeling sentimental. Kiss, kiss, hug, hug
