Clearly have a kamikaze thing going on today... will step away from all predictors, tarot etc etc as of right now!

Promise!

 

[dashka]

Pad - oh WOW!!! that is awesome re: chinese gender prediction....HOPE is a wonderful thing

 

[LilSluz]

Pad - perhaps taking off of work was not such a good idea after all? But so glad it came up pink!

Dash - Oh honey That's so much to take in at once. Let's just keep fingers crossed the Dr. is being cautious & just looking at & testing everything that comes up? But you will feel better after talking it over w/your RE. When do you see him next? Can you call up & speak to a nurse to ease your mind? I LOVE the Reiki Ideals!!! Good idea to post right where you see them often . I just sent you some LD healing too ~~~~. Of course these are short energy healing "spurts" as the long version is over an hour & requires a lot of set-up, but they help kick-start the proper, positive energy nonetheless!

Also, I have to say that you mentioning Bach Flower Remedy almost floored me! I swear I was looking up something on Reiki this morning & saw "Bach Flower Essence Therapy" - I still had the site up when I read your post! https://www.bodynbalancemassagetherapy.com/reiki-healing

Whoa, weird crazy universe "coincidence" stuff going on here today!!! Maybe that means I need to buy it!?

Good morning!!! All of the posts were so great to read this morning. Sending out some positive energy!!

Pad - Pink Pink Pink!!!! Keep basking in the pinkness!!!! I'm so glad you're staying home today and resting! NO WORK sounds soooooo nice. And if you've been predicted a pink bundle, then that's what it is!!

Lils - re: OPK... actually I don't drink *enough* water!! It's somewhat of a problem for me b/c I live in the desert where it's really dry, and a year ago I got a bladder infection (probably b/c I'm always too dehydrated). At a physical before then the Drs were like "we see some crystals in your pee... you need to drink more water!!" I didn't. And then I got the bladder infection a few months later. So I've been working hard to try to make sure I drink at least 8 glasses of liquid a day. Anyways so I have no idea why my +OPK only lasts for a couple hours!! Oh, and I'm an engineer, but work closely with accounting/finance so we know how we're doing on labor and procurement and travel funds. Feel better soon!!! Get some rest and take care of yourself! Package up all that snotaliciousness for Pad!!!

DrHouse... sounds like some fun times last night!!! I'm gunna have to youtube the great sperm race.

Chicken - Big Keep your chin up.. Do you like the chicken dance? I'll do the chicken dance for you!!

Dash - Like Pad and Lils said, focus on one step at a time. Deep breaths! Your rescue remedy sounds wonderful and calming.

Hi Purple, dwrgi, Grkprn, LadyH and all the other ladies here... happy Wednesday!!

AFM - I'm thinking of making oyster stew tonight or tomorrow. I figure that's got to be good for TTC right? Oysters have a lot of zinc (for ) and the milk/half-n-half has lots of calcium. Plus it's delicious.

Lils - thanks so much hun I'm just in a funk today -need to get out of it.... Well if I go 12-13 days til next AF -then I go in to RE on CD2 or 3 -which would be October 1... I think I'm just going to wait to ask him when I see him as they are useless trying to get an answer out of his assistants...
It's less than 2 weeks away (and he mentioned I would go on birth control pill for first 2 weeks) My MD didn't think that the hormone meds would affect the thyroid - but I need to ask my RE and then I'll feel better.

Yes - get the Bach Flower Remedies - there are so many for different things - you can do the online questionnaire on their website to see what is right for you. I carry the Rescue Remedy in my purse with me and used to use it a lot - but haven't for a while til I remembered it helped me so much before in times of stress.

Thanks so much for sending the LD healing.... you know come to think of it - I had a really weird heart beat (like butterflies in my heart -like palpitations) for about 4-5 seconds around lunch - I wonder if that was you????

 

[chickenchaser]

Moondust, I would love to see you do the chicken dance. That would really make me smile.

 

[moondust7]

Chicken - lol ok here goes! But there has to be some music:

Hi ladies - so I've finally started a journal and I've attached the link in my signature... but How do I get it to say "My Journal" instead of the link name? I don't think I've done it the right way (but it does take you there)... I just copied and pasted the link and added link to signature....

Anyone know?

Anyone know?

In the 'edit your signature' page, type "My Journal" or whatever you want it to say, then highlight those words. Click on the link icon above (the globe with the little chain links on it) and paste your journal URL into the dialogue box that pops up. Voila!

And yay journal!! heading there now....

 

[padbrat]

Lils you are so good sending all that healing floating about.... hope you felt it Dash....

Please remember to breath chick... take your Bachs. Hug your gorgeous AD.... hug us .... in fact sending one across the ether to you now!! When I did my ED I had to go on the pill too... it is so they can control your cycle and time it with your meds.

Hey HA!!!

[drhouse]

and moon dust - an engineer!!!! you must have a hot husband. biggest regret for me, should have done engineering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[drhouse]

mine is hot. he was just late. thirty five/six - rubbish!!!!!! we missed 10 years of travelling and having fun!

 

[padbrat]

Mine is an Engineer... just one in a soldier's uniform...

And believe me ladies.. men in uniform... HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!

Hahahhaa DrH... pink fairy outfits it is! I am hoping hoping hoping... for me.. and of course that you caught that egg in your mad sex marathon! LOL

I am having wine withdrawal symptoms... what wine are you drinking... can I just have a sniff... pllleaaaseeee...

Am off to a wedding this weekend... in my new dress! Will be taking it very easy.. not mad disco dancing for me!

I also bought another dress and tried it on for Hubby... he loved it... my bigger boobs n curves filled it just right... am hoping I won't get a chance to wear until after May next year... will be my target dress to get into I think x

 

[drhouse]

oh if once was a marathon.
unfort more like the 100m!
oh well.

 

[HappyAuntie]

Hey HA!!!

Happy auntie – welcome back!! Its wonderful to see people pop up!

Hi Doc! I'm always here, lurking like a in the darkness... 'cause that's not creepy or anything.... This thread is like a drug I can't quit!


My DH is an engineer, too... and no matter what dance he's doing, he looks like a chicken when he dances... it's sad because he loves to dance and he just looks SO goofy at it! Fred and Ginger we are not.

 

[padbrat]

Must be an engineer thing HA... mine dances like he is having a fit lol... but he does do an excellent chicken dance though!

HAhahhaa DrH... 100m sprint! Hey who cares so long as it works!

 

[Mirium]

I thought it strange because my DH has a degree in aeronautical engineering too, although he's not working in that field right now...and he loves to dance too. He gets mad on the dance floor, sometimes I'm thinking - not this crazy dance now...lol. He's a great dancer though, minus the crazy dances.

 

[LilSluz]

Moon – Oh dear, you must drink more water, crystals in pee is very bad – you don’t want painful kidney stones! What I do is have a 32 oz. BPA-free bottle so I fill it up & drink a whole one just w/my supp’s in the morning. Then I’ll go thru another 3-4 throughout the day. It makes it easy to keep track of – all you have to do is drink 2-3 of those a day (more if you drink coffe or take certain supps/meds). 160 oz may be a bit too much on my end, but I am actually that thirsty all the time (don’t know why? Glucose test is fine&#8230. So, you must be a super-smart lady as an engineer! My hat’s off to you with all of those advanced calculus classes & such!


Dash – I did send it around lunch – 11:30am or so? Could have been me then! Ok, so I didn’t do the questionnaire but I do know I need something for stress bc I can’t often stop & do reiki in the middle of my workday. Stupid Amazon w/that 1-click purchase button – my fingers must have slipped as I bought 3 things including the book before I knew what happened . I can’t believe your appt is coming up so FAST!!! Hope RE clears up any fears you may have. Just remember that worrying is a useless pastime. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen, so try not to infiltrate yourself w/negative emotions in the meantime – it doesn’t help the outcome. I know tho, was easier said than done… So . Just read - yay for journal!!! Will head there next

HA - & thanks for visiting us from lurkdom! And don’t worry, my DH dancing will get roars of laughter from the onlookers & me rolling on the floor. Its one of the funniest freakin things I’ve ever seen in my life!

DrH – Ok, so I bought it! Lol. Yay, is good for implantation!!! Is it good for colds too? Hope things are much easier for you now that you have quit the 2nd job Engineers have hot husbands then? LOL! Damn, it’s so close to accounting (I work w/engineers a lot for valuations, etc), I should have done the engineer thing too! Na, mine is a cutie, too…

Pad - That dress is gorgeous! Hope you have a great time at the wedding this weekend! No for you young lady! You can sniff some lavendar essential oil though in times of stress, or if you need to relax, etc Just get a really good one @100% natural essences. Also good for relaxation for us TTC'rs! Check it: https://theresaann.hubpages.com/hub/lavender-essential-oils-and-pregnancy

Mirium – how are you feeling chic? When’s RE follow-up from lap?

Purps – today is Thursday, right? Just checking! So sorry my journals are suffering this month & my other threads – only had time to get on this one

Chicken - When is your blood test, hun?

Asry & Fro – you ladies doing OK?

BF -

Dwrgi -

LadyH -

to Owl, GrkPorn, Nessaw, Maddy, pb&j, Janey, Twinks, Tiger, Juniper, FlyFL & everyone else lurking!

Ok, so a lil better today, but still sick w/medicine-head. I may be posting from another planet right now, not really sure which one this is…? Just have this insatiable desire to say "Beam me up Scotty"! Oh yeah, got my intralipids yesterday w/new nurse. She did blow a vein so stuck me twice, but she was much more gentle – didn’t hurt much. Not sure what the other lady was using, pvc pipe?! Sick so don’t feel like although DH hit me up twice in the shower, so I had a nice, long HOT steamy shower today… (good for colds). And I’ve been naughty & haven’t even started OPK’s yet, but I will today.

Have a great day ladies , &

Hi ladies!
Seems there are a lot of engineers on this thread (or married to one!) Hmmmm interesting.

HA – thanks for the tip on attaching the journal link… It worked! Nice to see you back on here…

Dr. H – weird about FF – Actually I use the mobile app every morning (infact that’s all I use) but I use my ipod touch (cause it works on wifi)… would love to get an iphone though. Hmm… maybe I should try the vino thing? I agree with Pad – no worries about the marathon/100m…. as long as it gets the job done…. I know what you mean though! Rats –re: 5 of your girlfriends –that is so hard….

Pad – you sexy mama you! love that dress too….. have a great time at the wedding…

Lils – yay for ordering the Bach Flower remedies! I bought 3 individual ones years ago (specific to me) but didn’t remember to take them much and they have now expired. So I carry the Rescue Remedy with me and it seems to calm me down when I’m anxious, worried or stressed. Just curious – which ones did you order? Hey – is Lavender oil ok to use in pregnancy??? I thought that was one to stay away from ?– I think it depends who you ask. Especially at the beginning – (first trimester –need to be careful with the essential oils – some are ok though). Glad the intralipid thing was a bit better for you this time…(pvc pipe??ouch!!!) and wow-wee with DH and the shower action!!! I’m jealous…. Heee heee….Good luck hun this month - and hope you feel better soon.....

Hello to everyone -hugs and luvs to all!!!

AFM - well we decided to tell the MIL last night re: our IVF plans....(she had no idea we were doing anything) and I didn't get the reaction I had hoped for Was pretty upset afterward but hey - shouldn't have assumed she would react any differently. I'll put more in my journal in a bit...

Have a great day ladies.....
