Fro - YAY for beta!!!! And I agree he does not look 60 & he looks very healthy, too. It may not hit you for a while, but its for real & its happening right now! I know you are being cautious & that is totally understandable when PAL. It may be time to put some of that yoga & meditation skills to the test if you are getting very nervous. Hang in there & make sure you keep us up to date & try not to stress about It apparently did its little job so far!

Dashka - Gosh you have the best information! You need to write a book & capitalize on all of that great knowledge of yours!!! Thank you! Maybe w/the meds & sickness you just aren't going to have a "normal" cycle", BUT - that could be a really good thing, too? I'm keeping everything crossed for you, darlin'!

DrS - I think you should stage a one-woman-on-progesterone boycott! It sounds like they messed with the WRONG woman, sister! You GO GIRL!

Dwrgi - how you doing girl?

Purple - you can have the strawberries & I'll have the chocolate! So happy for you over the nice birthday luncheon. Question - what are champs?

Asry - wow those prices are SO cheap lucky girl!!! !

Nicker & Kin - welcome to BNB 35+ TTC#1!!!

Manuiti - how AWESOME you have 2 good embies!!

Pad - sending you some FL sunshine ahead of time You've got a tough one, lady, but stay strong & resilient!

Butterfly - did you catch the eggy?

Lil, that is the clinic I went too. Beware of the 100% guarantee as they can drop you at any time for any reason they feel, which is what they did with me even though I had a good cycle producing 10 eggs. I'm thinking the shared risk guarantee is more geared towards younger people because its less of a risk to them. I'm glad you asked as I'd never recommend this clinic to anyone.


AFM, I had a busy weekend gardening and getting everything set with my patio. AF is due today so I'm just waiting. I didn't test because I don't test anymore. My b-day is tomorrow so I'm taking the day off and I have a masage scheduled. I need it because my muscles are so sore from all the yardwork I did this weekend.

Missy thank you for confirming that one! Now I know that clinic is NOT an option (just sounds too good to be true anyway). Interesting name "Shady" Grove... and also:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISSY!!!!!

A little early but just in case I can't log on tomorrow! Perhaps you will have a nice little surprise birthday present tomorrow? (hope so!!!)

 

[froliky2011]

Dashka - When I just logged in now I said "boy, I am so addicted to this thread". I understand. If it was one of you I would be the same way.....

I am hoping for all of you on your way to finishing your TWW!!! Bring on the s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In addition, as far as this cycle the only thing I noticed truly different (w/o reading into things because every month it seems there are funny things going on with the body..whether I am pregnant or not) was watery cm around 7 dpo. It felt like I was wetting my pants sorta. Other than that, some twinges here and there, seem more dehydrated than normal and my heart rate goes up pretty fast as I start to jog. I try to keep it around 150 but I can run 3 minutes and it's up to 170bpm so I stop and walk and let it go down and relax and then jog a little to get the blood flowing.

Congratulations Frolicky!!!! Fabtastic news!!!

Welcome Newbies

Happy Birthday to Missy for today/tomorrow??

Love to everyone.

Can I ask for some advice? Especially from UK ladies who have had treatment from the NHS (although anyone can weight in!) - I'm back at the hospital on Wednesday - hopefully I'll get my HSG results & DH's SA results but apart from that they'll just tell me to go & lose lots more weight.

So I was thinking I might ask them if they would do some tests now while I'm losing weight rather than waiting til later & then discovering there's something else wrong.

So what kind of things should I be asking them to do & which are they likely to actually do??

Thanks - sorry for the mostly selfish post!! xxx

 

[Butterfly67]

I'm going to have to remember stuff cos I'm on my phone

Missy happy birthday

Fro I think that is a good number. FX for good rises now

Pad, thanks hon, yes I had an mc after a blighted ovum but tbh I am really glad that I know I can get pg
The only things I have heard about gender selection is timing of bd but I don't know if that is crap

Lady H, big do you think you might pay for a private SA, I think they are about £150

Dwrgi

I think I might be in with a chance this month, just hoping for some temp rises now

Sorry for all I missed! Xxx

froliky- im not even asking for matzah ball soup (which honestly i dont really like all that much). i just want the boring plain crackers. they arent too bad with butter and salt. and today i made a roast beef and pepper sandwich on them (once they found me some). if i was strict about keeping the holiday, i couldnt eat the bean soup or the chicken rice soup and i still havent decided (technically it is no beans, no rice, no corn, no grains but that is so hard, corn syrup is in everything).

sorry im so terrible with personals but please know i am thinking of you all and this thread (and b&b) is getting me through me work week from hell

Oh, I guess I misunderstood. The crackers are good too.
Why no beans & rice? I just made "Asian Black Beans and Rice" tonight for dinner.

Butterfly - looks like you have timed things VERY well! Sorry I keep forgetting about that covert butterfly operation you have going on there & didn't realize BD was in there too.

Hoping for a sticky bean for you!!!

Thanks. Learn something new everyday.

Dashka - The thing that drove me to find another doctor was my screaming biological instincts...

I just might have to partake in Passover from now on:
Barech (Blessing) - A third cup of is poured for everyone, the blessing is recited and then participants drink their glass. Now an additional cup of wine is poured for Elijah and a door is opened so that the prophet can enter the home.

My DH is Jewish, too (although he doesn't celebrate anything & I think I know more about holiday meanings than he does) I love the passover story! Happy Passover! Hope you had a good seder!

I was actually looking for the open the door/prophet part of your 15-step link bc I saw a movie starring Kirsten Dunst & Brittany Murphy (RIP) & that was a huge part of the movie - The Devil's Arithmetic did you ever see it? If not, it was soooo good but just look out bc very sad (but may be a good holiday movie to "get you in the spirit")? I forgot you are prob working too much but maybe some other day...

 

[froliky2011]

Lil- There's a great Jewish restaurant on Federal highway called "Emunah"

 

[manuiti]

Missy - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you're having a wonderful day!

Fro - as a first result, that number is looking gooood! Roll on the next one and a nice doubling. And I have to agree, your KD looks nothing close to his age!!!!

Lady H - Hope you've cheered up a bit by now. But we're here for you anytime you do need to whinge. I'm pretty sure all of us here can sympathise.

Pad - and here's hoping for some nice X spermies coming your way.

Dashka - hope you feel better soon and FXd that this is your month too!

Afm - I'm now back home and so happy to be back. I was really starting to miss it. My pup gave me such a lovely, crazy, spaniel welcome home too - raced around for ages like a lunatic, would run up to me and 'hug' my leg with his front paws, run off again, when I crouched down, he'd run up and 'kiss' my cheek (ie. tap it with his nose - he's been taught no face licking allowed) and then race around again. I get the feeling he missed me a little and was happy that I was back. And now he's turned into my shadow - even tried to come into the bathroom with me. lol Anyway, that's me 1dp3dt... 14 more to go, and 2 more until I find out what our 3rd emby's been up to, if anything.

Dashka - The thing that drove me to find another doctor was my screaming biological instincts...

Yes exactly!!!!!!!!

 

[dashka]

Manu-- glad to hear you are back home safe now... Take it easy as much as possible now... That is such a cute descriprion of your doggy welcome!! When does your DH come home next??

 

[luvmydoggies]

Hi Ladies! I'm so sorry to have disappeared again! I believe the last time I was on....I was bitching about an ob/gyn appointment! I will never do that again!

He found a lump in my left breast and it took over my life! I had felt it 2 months prior...self exam but when I stood up to compare....felt the same and thought I was being paranoid....I was soooo wrong! He sent me for mamogram and ultrasound...two of the scariest things because I had never had those yet. They found a lump size of an egg "suspicious" and my nightmare began. They did a biopsy...results came back inconclusive...dr/nurses were horrible and uncaring. My other dr recommended a specialist in breast cancer. So they got me in very quickly...and since we didn't know if it was benign or not...I was still really scared. I was also told that it would have to be removed regardless. So I was in shock! I had the surgery in February. It was removed and a platic surgeon was part of my surgical team....so he gave me a lift and in his words "perkier" boobs. I spent one night at the hospital, my dh stayed with me. Finally, weeks after the surgery I found out it was 100% benign. It has been an ordeal to say the least. I feel like frankenstein with my scars but SOOOOOO thankful it was benign!

Our townhouse sold! We will be moving into a rental and then buying a house when one comes up that we like/afford. So now, we will have $ for IVF.

I'm sorry- don't know what is going on with all of you....I will try to catch up.

I believe I read that purple is pg. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

One more little vent...I was at the grocery store today and there was a pregnant woman with three kids...7, 8, 2, year old...(I only know this b/c she spoke so loud about it! There was a younger woman that had asked her if she already knew what she was having...and she said "yes" a girl but I wanted a boy! I am so disappointed! (her 2 yr old was a lil boy) I had to bite my tongue to not completely go bat shit crazy and tell her how lucky she was to able to give life....etc etc

I will say good-night! I have missed you all so much!

 

[Butterfly67]

OMG luv what a terrible ordeal So glad it is over and the lump was benign and you now have the $ for ivf
