Chatty thread 3/2-3/9

I'm here .. I'm here!! Please don't beat me anymore!! I'm getting a headache!! LOL!!!

Things have just been nuts still!! Not to mention our weather here has been CRAPPY with a capital "S" if you know what I mean!! Grrrrr! And the roads are in horrible condition!! I hit a flipping pot hole the other day on the way home from work and ended up with not one, but TWO flat tires!! And it was in a not-so-good part of town. I swear I think I watched about 3 drug deals going down while I waited for AAA to come tow me with a flat bed! Then while I was waiting, another girl hit the same pot hole (I had pulled off the main road) and ended up with a flat too! We are suppose to get another 8-12in tonight/tomorrow -- ummmm I thought Easter was in 2 weeks?? At this rate, Kari will be wearing her snow boots and winter coat with her Easter dress! Oiyee!

Jen - I'm so glad to hear the tumor was benign!! That is awesome news!! Sorry AF is kicking your butt.

Carrie - woohoo!! You made it!!! Ugggg - why is it our bodies never cooperate when we want/need them too?? I hope the hag shows up and quits playing the head games with you so you can get the show on the road! OK... I can't even imagine trying to give a cat breathing Rxs!!! You are one BRAVE woman!! LOL!! I hope it goes well!!

Janay - I never did the Lupron Depot - I did however have a friend who was stage III endo with only one ovary and she did a six month course of LD and then did clomid with IUI and conceived, but unfortunately m/cd at 7 weeks. She really thinks the LD is what helped her. I don't really know enough about the protein stuff to comment. Have you ever checked out the SIRMs website? I think it is SHER Institutes For Reproductive Medicine IVF They have RE's there that you can post questions to and they'll respond to you - I know back when I was doing a lot of reading they talked a lot about APA (I think that is it?) Anyway.. it might be worth checking out? I've heard the weather has been pretty nice out there! I'm soooo envious!! Kari is doing well. Thanks for asking!! I will have to upload some new pics and post! She is growing way too fast! She is on the very brink of crawling - it will be a whole new world once that starts!!

Brie - how old is Oliver now? How has AF been since having him? Are you BFing or formula? Thankfully, AF hasn't been too bad since K was born - but I can tell that each month it is getting a little worse -- I'm very nervous about trying FET - did you hear the story about the couple that did IVF and transferred one b/c they didn't want multiples and ended up with identical triplets!?!?!? That would be our luck!! LOL!! Watch out Jon and Kate plus 8!! LOL

Wendy - how did your appt go?

Krissy - how are things going with you?

I think there are a couple of other girls that didn't come from FF but I never see them post? Hope you are doing well!

As for me... I'm in the 2WW - AF is due late this weekend or early next week - I think I o'd later than normal. Anyway..not too hopeful this month. I've already had my little PMS hissy fit that always seems to occur about a week before Ms Hag makes her appearance. Guess we'll wait and see!

Hope e/o is having a good week!!

Hi everyone:

Karen: yay for your update!!! sorry about the cold and the pot holes..they don't have too many here..but SLC, they are everywhere..even if I try to avoid one, I'll hit it anyway, it's kind of funny..sorry about the flats. Yay for K almost crawling!!! Start the baby proofing..and have to move everything up high. But it's fun...that is how my a/f was, but I didn't get it..but the cramps got worst and worst..I was b/f. Crazy about the triplet story.

So I'm super sore, the cramps got bad, I mean real bad about 6p. I woke up earlier today w/cramps too.They are def kicking my butt. All I have to do is wake up K and get her ready for DC...they are moving here in the other 2 room...

[hopeful gal]

Karen-Thanks for updating That story on the triplets was crazy! I am sorry the weather has been crappy and about the flat tires..that sucks. I'm hoping that af does not show for you :crossedfing

Jen-I'm sorry about the cramps kicking your butt. That's great they are moving K to a different room at DC

What is everyone doing this weekend?

Janay

[kayleemom2005]

K and I were invited to a b-day party tomorrow....Get this, the mom's name is Jen and her dd is K...spelled the same...the only thing...Jen is 21 and I'm 30...It depends on my cramps..but they only last 2-3 days..dh has 24 hour duty tomorrow. So it will just be the 2 of us...but my friends are going to help me out..so we can go!!!

[hopeful gal]

Jen-that's pretty strange!!! Sounds like fun

We are going shopping tomorrow for some new clothes. I went down a few sizes since I am losing weight..I hope to find some cute Spring stuff Then we are going out with some friends for dinner.

BBL off to lunch! I'm starved!!

[Mommy Wannabe]

Janay-- Thanks, on all accounts. I did lupron before my first IVF cycle, which was cancelled, and I switched to an antagon protocol since then. Since I got prg that first completed IVF and it was an antagon cycle, we are sticking with that. I never did lupron depot, though.
Thank you for all of the work getting the board going! Now if I would just get those daily update emails!! I am not usre what else to do. I made sur eI was subscribed and that it says to email me, but still nothing. Any ideas?
That stinks that your dh is going out of town. I hate being away from my dh. I can't wait to be cheering you on, too!!!
I have heard the name of Twitter before, but I don't know much about it. Fill us in!

Jen-- What's RD? Oh, okay... see your later post. So, what would you and he prefer, and is there anything you can do about it?
Sorry AF is being her usual pain. Blech.

Karen-- That's some pothole! Dang!!! I am glad that you are okay! Good weather will come soon... the groundhog did say six more weeks of winter! We didn't get a whole lot this year, which is both goood and bad as a teacher. lol
I can't imagine it either... we still have to order the contraption. Hey, can we post links here? If we can, I will have to post a link to the website with a video of a person using it. Insane.
How is Kari? Can't wait to see some new pics!


Spotting got a LOT heavier. I thought AF would be here by this afternoon based on it, but it settled down a bit again. I suspect tonight or tomorrow, so Monday or maybe Tuesday I should have my b/w and u/s and start stims. One good thing about the clotting problem, at least while cycling, is that I can't use BCPs, so I get right into a cycle.

Well, I've been lurking & reading..but K and I went to that b-day party...and I don't know if it's the same for all of you..but b-day parties around here last a long time...It was at the park, on base, they had one of those bouncy things and K loved it..there were lots of kids...K loved it and she kept on saying baby and going rubbing all the baby's heads...so cute...there were 3 pg women there of course, just made me want one even more.

Dh came home yesterday w/awesome news...he was asking for a week of leave for my surgery..but because of WTI...a lot of people had to be involved...and they decided since WTI is so hard-core...that maybe it would be best if dh didn't go to WTI. Well, then other people were saying that they are suppsed to go to Vegas for 2 weeks...and doing that week of my surgery. So then they just decided for dh to take 2 weeks of leave...so yay!!! he'll be home to help me w/my surgery.

I can't believe it's snowing in Georgia, that is just crazy!!! It was in the 80's here..but this is our summer...cuz in the summer time here, it's too hot..and you don't even want to leave your house...we play w/K at night, when it's cooler out.

By the way, don't know if I mentioned it or not..but dh is on 24 hour duty today.and then plus the party...that's why I've been MIA.

[hopeful gal]

Carrie - I'm not sure what's happening with the email alerts. I would just try to do it again, then if you don't get them..let me know and I will email the admin of the boards. Did you start the breathing tx for the cat?

Jen- that's really great news that dh will be off with you!!! Glad you and K had fun at the B-day party I'm so envy of your weather
It's been really mild here this winter, but I love warm weather Is your surgery going to be at the mayo clinic?

Karen, Brie, Wendy, Krissy, and anyone else reading

We had a great day shopping and dinner with our good friends, but I am beat :tired I'll talk to you gals tomorrow
