Hi ladies!! TGIF!

Maddy - you should definitely have some garlic while DH is away this month!

LadyH - we went to the Stinking Rose in LA, but the managers there told us they had one in SF too. I can imagine the lines getting long! We went at 5:00pm so there weren't that many people there yet. Hope you're feeling well... I did stalk your journal once this week

Dashka - I have heard of Oil of Oregano before! I had completely forgotten about that one, so thanks! I know IVF is a big step, but I wish you all the best with it and hope your upcoming appts go well! And of course, lots of luck with the MIL tomorrow!!

LilSluz - hope you had a great time in Orlando yesterday. I'm sorry about AF, but am happy to hear you're enjoying some ... mmm relaxing!

Hortensia - haha ya garlic is definitely antisocial. heehee But so delicious, and so worth it.

Neesaw - yes I definitely think stress is a big factor. Right now I'm thinking that has got to be part of the reason I haven't had any luck yet. I got married in April, and was sick for a month and a half after the honeymoon... I kept catching colds and just couldn't get better, so I know I must have been pretty stressed (although happy) and it affected my immune system. And studying / hard classes can be stressful! I'm glad you're having a better class this time around

Mirium - hope you have/had a good operation today. Take care of yourself

Hi Purplelou, HappyAuntie, Dwrgi, Owl, DrHouse, Padbrat, and everyone else!! :wave:

AFM - I'm SO happy it is Friday! On Sunday DH and I leave for a week of vacation. We're going to the Outer Banks in North Carolina for his cousin's wedding. We'll be staying with them and some of their friends in a house on the beach, and then heading to a Bed & Breakfast for the 2nd half of the week. I am so, so excited to take a vacation and some time off work. AF is supposed to arrive Sunday... the day we fly there. Nice timing, of course. Sigh. But at least the new cycle will start then and soon we can start trying!! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I will be painting my nails and packing tomorrow!

Hey ladies,

Pad - . I am sending PINK vibes. All the best!!

GrkPrn & LadyH - All the best too ladies!!

AFM - Surgery is done, of course. Thanks to all of you guys for wishing me well and sending positive vibes!! I am home now and feel quite normal!! It has been said that a laparoscopy is fairly mild surgery and so that explains that. I have no idea what was found though. My RE had said that alot of patients don't remember when he speaks to them after due to lingering anesthesia however he did say that he will speak to me after, but he didn't so I will have to call the office to know or schedule appointment at approx. 2 weeks after surgery. I was a little disappointed that he did not come speak to me because he had hinted that he would. And knowing me, I have a good memory - I am not likely to forget, not stuff like that... . Anyway, in a sense, (and contradicting myself... ) I am also kinda glad that he didn't because it is weekend and I feel surprisingly at peace and I'd rather rest and not think about all the TTC stuff and obstacles. You know the saying - 'ignorance is bliss'... . I think I am just happy that I got the surgery over and done with. Have a great weekend ladies!!

 

[Maddy40]

Mirium - glad everything went well. Maybe the doc didn't want you to be stressing over results when you are resting and recovering. Hope it's good news...when you finally get it!

Lady H - love your Dr saying 40 isn't old. Now if I could just get mine to say the same about 41!

Dash - how was AD's first day of school? Exciting about the IVF....we've always said we won't go down that path, but isn't it amazing how 40 (ho hum in my case 41) makes you see things differently?

LilSluz - yes 2 charts b/c I work shiftwork, On the days that I can't temp properly (ie: with at least 3 hours sleep & at the usual time of day) I do 2 temps - one at the right time of day without any sleep, and then one later in the day when I wake up (so wrong time of day but after the requisite 3hrs). Just doing it to see what my temps are like with the different variables.

Nessaw - good luck with that appointment...I can't believe it's so far in the future. Ours is 2 weeks after yours I feel like my cycles are ticking away...

Moondust - have a great vacation, lucky thing!

Everyone else, hope your weekend is cheery and sunny. I'll be slaving away in the office while you are all having fun!

 

[padbrat]

Ahhhh I am basking in the pinkness!

 

[dashka]

Rats - just typed a long post and LOST it!!!

Here we go again...

Mirium - so glad the surgery went well! I hope you can relax now and enjoy the rest of the weekend... Hope you get some answers soon....You've been through so much - hope this is the ticket to getting your BFP! take care of yourself

Maddy - yes you are right about turning 40 - it does something to us for sure! Always said I would never do IVF.. and I know it goes against a lot of what I believe in and will probably wreak havoc on my body - but I will deal with it... I just need to give it one last real good shot before I give up! (I have tried so many natural remedies in the 10.5 years I've been TTC...but I do think they have helped me with egg quality at least) Just don't want to regret stuff when I'm 50.... and re: financial - we will find the $ somehow - money isn't everything and some things are priceless.. I have come to realize that our infertility is something much more complex than we can fix ourselves. Good luck with your appointment in October! Are you thinking of going for IVF too? Must be so hard working shiftwork - take care of yourself!

Also thanks for asking re: AD's first day at school - she was crying alot the first day and then 2nd day only when I dropped her off and again when I picked her up....I know it'll take time - and will get better each day (hopefully) as she learns that mommy/daddy are coming back for her.
How old are your adopted kids now?

Pad - bask away in the PINKNESS hun!! take it easy okay???? that's an order!

Hello and hugs to everyone and hope you are enjoying the weekend...

AFM - MIL arrived tonight.... ho hum..... I'm in pretty good spirits now - but talk to me in a week!

[drhouse]

Hiya lovelies.


Its sunday. the end of the weekend.. aaghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need need a holiday..

Mirium am crossing fingers and toes for your results. If its too hard to wait maybe ring and leave a message with your doctor that you would like an early appt. Its hard to give good and bad news over the phone. Most times they would want you to be face to face to ask the q. good to take DH with yuo too and that he's got a handle on your stressor questions. Darling fiancee asks mine when I am in the FS office, I'm the doctor but can't keep my thoughts straight! go figure..

purps, asry, dr s et al.... bumplicious... i hope you and the bumps are wonderful and as for our little hatrick!!!! Three in a row, sticky beans all round!!!!!

Pad am trying to send you pink thoughts !!!!!! I know you are worried... but you are closer to get a pink one when you are pregnant! How did the thyroid stuff wash up?

Dash i hear you about ivf. its not natural but a baby is a baby is a baby. My bestie just had a baby after five years. he's perfect. Having done everything in your power, is no regrets. Same to you miss maddie.

We were round at a friends for dinner. Bump and baby last night. So pleased I have my period. Four days late. Somewhat devastating. Anyways!!!!!

Love you all, I am so pleased to have ladies to share the ups and downs. And guess what I got in the post this week... OPKS, instead cups and a thermometer. Unfort insteads aren't TGA licenced so I had to get them from the states. And bimbo that i am, got a thermometer at the same time.

US and canada girls whats with the Fs??????? Farenheit my god, I can't interpret the numbers.. So I've got a chart now on FF. If someone can talk me though how to add that to my ticker, I am looking forward to having the girls cheer me on...and keep me on the straight and narrow... stop working now.. go home and shag............................ maybe I've missed it the last three months?

 

[Lady H]

Hi DrH

On FF go to the tab at the top called sharing, and you will see an option called tickers. You need to select the text as BB code, copy it. Paste into your signature on BnB. Top tab on BnB, quick links, edit signature.

 

[purplelou]

Bah...DrH sorry for missing you out xxxx
