[babyhopes2323]

i just dont think i will be driving it at all once the baby arrives.. and the convertible top seems to be stuck so not working !!

oh well, the lake house sounds lovely.. i know what you mean about it being OH's parents etc, but holidaying there sounds nice

can i ask a question ladies??

if you all dont mind, i really dont know any of your names !!

its like we chat everyday and then we know each other as baby, dew, NDH, flying.. NYP.. wow.. its amazing how we dont know each others names !

on a different note, can you imagine a couple have come from the states to dubai, and have got in touch with a billboard company in dubai and got many adverts put up in dubai and guess what message to pass on??

"the world is going to end on May 21st 2011, judgement day according to the bible, warning everyone "

can you believe that ?? its crazy.. ill post a link for y'all to read.. obviously the islamic government here are enraged and have taken it down effectively, because it contradicts their religion, but apparently they got permission to put that up.. what kinda crap is that??

imagine im here pregnant and waiting to deliver and then a sign post about the world going to end in 40 days ! thank god i didnt see the sign or id be enraged too!

[babyhopes2323]

thats a lovely name nikki ! i dont know why i cant "thank",anymore, i can only see the quote and edit option. i cant see the "thank option"

but thanks for divulging that information !

 

[nypage1981]

I sometimes can't see thanks either, then the next time i can! Weird!

That sign is crazy, people are nuts. When we were in Disney World, every day a Plane would make a message in the sky that said "You +God" .....ok.....come ON. Who was paying to have this done every day? Some rich church? It was so pathetic, I hated it. Not that im not a believer, but I do hate people who are Bible pushers.

 

[babyhopes2323]

yea its nuts infact apparently family radio from the states? they were airing interviews with the husband and wife who came over with the billboard adverts.. thought you would have heard first before me !

 

[nypage1981]

Oh, Preethi, I do not listen to the news. I accidentally hear some, but I have too much empathy for sad stories so I can't handle bad news!

Guess it makes sense, we must have all the crazies over here

 

[babyhopes2323]

oooh i dont know about that....! but theyre sure outgoing to have to come all the way from the states to do some crazy shit like this !! anyway have a nice afternoon/ evening.. im off,.. its 11:00pm here and ive got a 7 am start with spanish class ! nite nite.. xx

 

[nypage1981]

Buenos Noches! (i think)

 

[sarahincanada]

babyhopes: dont worry Im not giving up, its just 10 years ago all I was interested in was parties, boys, music, my career, and wasnt interested in IVF! I remember being supportive of her, but I cant remember the details and so now Im interested. I will let you know what I think of the movie! and OMG that billboard is crazy! I heard of a girl somewhere in the states I think who would not get married this year because of that whole thing

NY...NIKKI! No Im not thinking about it yet, see above. I will ask my FS what are the next steps, like with Clomid Ive heard of people getting scans of their eggs and being told how many follicles and when to BD and then other people are just taking it and not having that so I hope I get some monitoring. Seeing as Im 39 in October I may want to fast-forward things by then perhaps. Im not sure if they will do that IUI thing on me if hubby has super swimmers, is there any point? isnt that them depositing the sperm into the uterus? I do have hopes it will happen in the next 6 months though!

and yes mum and my sister, brother in law and 2 nieces come in august, and then my mum comes back in october. last october when she came we barely BD'd so I hope Im pregnant by the visits or that they dont fall right at my BDing time! usually I go back to the UK for xmas, but because Im hoping to be pregnant I am thinking I wont be this year which is weird.

I dont normally start BDing so early, but this month want to start early and finish late. Im determind to have super sperm up there most of the month LOL

and when I was reading about your well off in-laws I was wondering hmmm why cant they buy you a house! perhaps thats wrong, but I did think that. this is your hubbies first child I think? do they have other granchildren? are they really happy you are pregnant? perhaps they will feel bad for you in the house and help for a deposit on a larger place?? I earn quite good money and always been very generous with my family as they dont earn as much, and I would be the same with my children (very carefully though, dont want them spoilt brats. but if they couldnt afford a bigger house but needed one and I could afford to help them I would)

So we have Sarah, Preethi, Sheryl, Nikki, Mummy is Catherine.

NY: Just got to know that my good friend and neighbor who is 5+ weeks pregnant also got stomach flu this weekend, her symptoms are just like yours...don't know what's going on ? It's quite disturbing, hope you both feel better soon.

 

[flyingduster]

just really quickly going to post Preethi's latest scan, and then I'll go back and read the last FOUR pages to catch up, and will reply later on... lol!

Sarah- I have soooo mentioned to him, at least they could help us with a down payment or something....since they've got all this money, and we need room for baby! Yes, its their first and maybe only grandchild...they are older but seemingly clueless for those things. Like the fact that we need a house. Honestly- they've not ever borrowed it to us, or needed to buy us anything, so this would be a great time for them to feel the need to! I may actually be a bit put off if they don't end up doing something along the lines....

Dew- scary! Something is clearly going around. Im glad I haven't been at work the last few weeks.....im sure the ER is crowded with people who have "stomach issues"......

 

[sherylb]

Sheryl - that deal sounds great, and I love 3D ultrasounds. If you wait till 20 weeks you would officially be the most patient here on this thread. How is hubby doing, is he still stressed about finances? Hey I wanted to ask you, is it ok if I dont temp at the exact same time everyday or is that very important? It will be within the same hour or two. If its important I will set my alarm.

I thought it was easier to just set my alarm because they change .1 so quickly.

 

[sherylb]

Mine are peach round balls too Sheryl- its good you get to quit them. I could, but they don't test my stupid levels so im too afraid to quit. For some reason I feel nervous to take the, but nervous to quit them. ugh. ...they had me up mine to 2 a day when I started spotting but I started with the same 1 a day. Were yours like $80?!?!? My insurance doesn't cover them and I need them every 2 weeks since 6 weeks. So im on my 3rd going on 4th time and its expensive.

I never had any spotting that I was concerned about. I half-expected to need it at least some b/c my depo was progesterone-based. My 30 pills were $55 full price.

 

[sherylb]

Thanks NY and Preethi for sharing info on progesterone. Even Sheryl is taking it. Guess it might be helping and doesn't seem to have negative effects. I am certainly requesting my doc for it next time.

Preethi, I am ready for lunch, I might just heat up my Kashi frozen pizza...won't be as yum as yours but will do for me

It's pretty expensive to be on. May want to get your levels tested to see if you need it when you do your HCG testing.

 

[sherylb]

Whew, you ladies have been super talkative today! Back to work.

Im jealous of your $55 for 30. Mine were $80 for 30. Seems like crap to me, since they're the same brand. Nice that they're almost $30 more up here.

 

[sherylb]

I am guessing you had a generic like mine? Prometrium?

 

[nypage1981]

Yup same kind. What a rip off that they can sell for such different amounts!
