%% OLDIES But GOODIES %%

[Radkat]

Katie - Your trip sounds great. Glad you were able to do it.
Sis - A house full of teenaged boys? No wonder you didn't sleep.
Terri - It sounds like you and your drs are organized with your tests. That must feel good. Your wedding sounds like it was emotional, sad but mostly happy and funny too. Your motorcycle convention sounds super fun too. I rode dirt bikes as a kid but never as an adult.
Moni - Hope those IUIs lead to a BFP!

AFM - Look at my ridiculous list of supplements! For those who take CoQ10, how much do you take? I got the ubiquinol, if that makes a difference.
Daily:
4g folic acid
Baby aspirin
B100 complex
Omega 3
Prenatal
CoQ10
Af-O:
ACV, probiotic
After AF to O: EPO, vitamin C
O confirmed: prog cream

Hey, Sis- your HCG will add to the darkness you see on the lines of an OPK, so you could be right. EWCM followed by a temp jump, though? You may have ovulated!

Terri, white go-go boots sound totally awesome! No idea where to find them, though...wait- I found them on amazon, just typed in 'white go-go boots'.

Oops- sorry didn't see that you have already looked there.

 

[Smiles013]

Hi ladies....happy Sunday! I've gotten caught up on the posts and I see a lot of upcoming appts and testing and appts and testing have been done. Good luck to all of you and to the ladies who practically had to fight with their doctors to get the tests they wanted! Sheesh. Sometimes I think doctors are so busy being doctors they forget what it feels like to be in a patient's shoes.

Sis...sorry to hear you DH doesn't want to try anymore but he did BD so maybe he's trying without really saying you guys are trying so he doesn't feel bad? I understand his concern for your health but he can't compare you to another woman and her issues. Hope the birthday festivities went well and ummmmm.... A cage dancer???? Lol. Man, you ladies on this board are full of surprises. I love it! Lol

Erose.....glad all went well with the procedure and you're in recovery mode.

Hiya to all the other lovelies.

 

[Sis4Us]

My opks aren't +++ Oldermom they are faint so idk what's up guess we just keep BDing and hope for the best!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Hey Smiles!! How are things coming along?

Sis-Oh yeah...I meant to be surprised about your cage dancing as well. That's awesome. HA!!HA!! I never would have guessed that about you.

Oldermom-I'll keep looking for those boots. I have seen them before on Zappos also, but today when I looked I didn't find them. I have some time to find/buy something. I am desperate to channel my inner Nancy Sinatra. hee hee.

Radkat-Why are you taking all that stuff? Just to try it out, or that's what you normally take? Yikes...It's hard enough for me to stick to my two prenatal vitamins. Eek!! hee hee.

Ah, now it makes sense! Sorry about that, you know how you read something and think it says one thing....
We are all hoping for you, Sis! I hope things even out for you soon!
Cage dancing?!?

Terri, I will keep looking, too!

Radkat, you reminded me to take my own vitamins, today!

Well that was when I weighed 95lbs bartend at one club and was spotted dancing a few times after my bar closed and was asked to dance at a New club opening up!!

Fully clothed skimpy clothes but clothes and in a Cage kinda better that way cuz guys can't touch U!!!
I also did Promo for other Djs and Raves remember those!!
Ok enough of that I'm making myself feel old!!

Boo I see the witch got U Oldermom was this a try cycle I know DH is away either way!!

 

[oldermom1975]

Wow, Sis- kudos to you! The last time I weighed 95 pounds was when I was 12!

Oh, and yes, DH is away
We won't get another cycle until June. Bleh. At least it will be after my surgery...I found out that my doc is doing a hysteroscopy and D&C with the laparoscopy, so I am pretty happy about that (I think a D&C helped DH and I get pregnant with DD).

 

[Sis4Us]

Dancing and running like a crazy Bartender will do that for ya!!

That's when I got PG w Ds1 and that 95ibls was long gone and has never ever been back!!

I hear ya! I am generally pretty happy with my body shape, and usually don't complain about it (another five pounds off would be nice, though). If I ever see 95 pounds again, however, it will be because I am very sick. My great aunt was 88 pounds when she died (cancer), and she was so, so, sooooo thin. Now every time I think about that, I get very happy with what I have.

 

[terripeachy]

Thanks Oldermom for the links. That was SOO helpful.

I just got back from the fertility specialist for my CD 4 work. The phlebotomist couldn't find my vein so she had to poke around in both arms. Finally another phlebotomist was able to do it. Phew! I don't mind giving blood, I just like them to poke once and do a good job. ha!

The ultrasound wasn't bad either. I have exactly 12 follicles growing and hopefully one of them will get fertilized this time around. I also had a fibroid on my left side, but she said that if the HSG worked fine, it has probably just been sitting there and isn't an issue. Thank goodness. It scared me when she said there was a fibroid. As far as the follicles go, they like to see >10, so I'm in good shape there for so early in my cycle. I will find out what my bloodwork results are this afternoon, and hubs is going on Wednesday for his analysis. So...I'm feeling pretty good knowing there are follicles, so now we just have to figure out what else is going on, if anything. If everything's fine, I'll be super relieved. We have to make a follow up appointment at some point to go over the plan of action, but I'll talk to the nurse about that when she calls me this afternoon.

At this point, I'm feeling pretty good, but we'll see what my bloodwork has to say.

 

[Fezzle]

I'm glad you have a lot of follicles! Good luck with the blood results. I think fibroids can be harmless a lot of the time- my mom said she had one when she was pregnant with me, but the Dr said it was nothing to worry about. He took it out as a freebie when I was born (c-section)!

 

[Sis4Us]

Yay FX the blood comes back Good!!!

 

[Wish4another1]

Terri - wow 12 follies... that is amazingly good in my book!!! I hope all that blood work comes out pefecto and the hubby does his SA like he is supposed to!!! I am truly happy for you! BFP is on its way!!!

Sis - the more I know about you the more you make me smile!!! love the cage dancing!!!

oldermom - I have no idea what all that surgery is except the D&C...but if that helped get your little one - then bring it on!!!

I don't think I have ever seen 95lbs...pretty sure I ZOOMED right by it...

to all you other lovelies...

AFM: don't feel like posting much but I am reading... I WOG'd a Half marathon Saturday morning (Walk/Jog) and am filming a tv commercial for my auto mechanic today - my car has 351,500 miles on it and they have taken care of it for 10 years - so yeah they can use it for a commercial!!
Have a great day ladies!

 

[terripeachy]

Wish-What kind of car do you have? That's awesome that you're going to be in a commercial! Are you still in Chicago? Thanks..I looked up the numbers for those follicles and 12 is definitely in the "good" range. If you have >20, you most likely have PCOS, and if you have a low number, I think it's possible that you may not get pregnant. So yeah, I'm pleased with 12.

I have been 95 pounds, but I don't remember what age I was. Now I'm about 126/127 (after being in the Bahamas), but my normal is about 130-135 I think. I don't have a scale. I remember when I bought my house in 2001, I was about 118. So skinny! hee hee. I'm 5'6, but all legs.

 

[Wish4another1]

Terri - I have a 2000 nissan maxima... If it were possible I'd never have a different car!!
I don't even want to talk about weight I gained 2lbs from Friday morning to Sunday morning and I am already 10lba heavier than I want to be!!! Arghhhhh
And no I haven't left for Chicago yet - tomorrow morning if it doesn't get cancelled...

 

[kfs1]

Terri - Great news about your results. Hope your bloods come back just as good!

Wish - Hugs to you. Hope you're doing OK over there.

Hi everyone else!
