Hi Janay: you should say that you started a new thread on the old one...I was thinking I was having issues again. I'm doing okay..sore..I rode the bike that you pedal in front of you for 15 mins and walked on the treadmill for 15 mins..I'm tired and my leg is sore, hurts actually, tomorrow is a down day.

I think I have an ovarian cyst..I've had a couple days off and on w/my back and side/flank area hurting then sharp pains intermittent in my right ovary. I just looked back and felt the same way last cycle for a couple of days..So quite convinced I have a cyst...I am just waiting for a referral to see my ob/gyn..I did the b/w this morning for my thyroid...I'm quite certain I'm going to find out I'm anemic.

Hi all!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Jen: Sorry to hear about the possible cyst and everything.

Janay: Glad you had a good visit and got time with your father!

Me...still pretty much bouncing off the walls!!! Pretty excited to finally be moving on. My history with all of this has been hard. My husband and I have only been trying for a little over a 2 years, but we went into everything knowing there was a very small posibility because of my history. Low and behold with him I actually got PG, but can't stay PG. Which honestly is even more frustrating to me!! But, we know DH's swimmers work..so now it is up to me!! However, my ex-fiance and I had tried for 4 years when we were together, and he refused to get married till he knew we would have kids...and in the end that is why he walked out on our wedding 3 months before. GRR...I won't say what I think of him!

But yes...back to being excited and counting down! I just hope this works!! I'm so nervous that it will go through, and then I'll have another loss!

Best to everyone!!!!!

Hi everyone!! s

Hope all are doing well!!

Janay: Yay for the move! Glad to hear that things are on the right track!

DH and I are counting down to Friday and our appointment!! I'm still in shock and can't believe it is finally in motion. Not that DH and I aren't doing our own thing! My doctor though is anxious to get us moving on this, so that he feels comfortable treating my endo. I know some doctors like to treat the endo first, he's worried about that because of my previous cancer...so he wants us to be able to have this chance, before they have to do anything else in there. *sigh*

Ok..I'm off. Been feeling a bit low the past couple of days..and I hate when my cramps kick in...especially when they are up over my kidneys...such is life they say. Hope all are doing wonderful!!

Hi girls - as usual my apologies... things have just been hectic.

Janay - that is awesome news!!! Will you still be in Colorado or will you be moving out of state too? House hunting can be draining but so exciting and fun too! I can tell by your post that you are over the moon about it all!!

Jen - ewe clomid!! LOL!! The mere mention of it makes me shudder!! Have you taken it before with your endo? I had a really bad response on it - ended up in the hospital both times!! EIKEE!! For me, it was like throwing lighter fluid on a fire. However, I've know others who have taken it and not had any issues. Good luck - I hope it goes well for you and you get your BFP soon!

Victoria - (((hugs))) sorry you've been low the past few days... just keep looking forward to that appointment!! I can't wait to hear what the plan is for you!

Hi Krissy, Brie, Wendy e/o!!

It's been a stressful few days. I just found out the other day that when I go out on my leave that will be it for my PT gig at work. I'm actually pretty upset about it - I've been a loyal employee for 10 years and it's really our d*ck of a COO who is the only one who has the hard rule about no permenant PT employees. It's so stupid. I'm looking at a few other options - possibly trying to stay on through a temp agency doing some work for another department. I still have my nursing license to fall back on too - so we'll see. Of course now I'm worried about my benefits - or possibly lack there of when it comes time to go out. I haven't talked with HR yet... I'm almost afraid to.

Otherwise things are going good - I got my sequential/genetic screening back and everything was normal and low risk - you know.... I'm soooo old and decrepit - hahahaha!! Advanced maternal age as a diagnosis is JUST WRONG!!

We're gearing up for K's party - it's next weekend - I still can't believe she is going to be one already!!

Hope e/o is staying cool!! OK... got to run.. DH just walked in.

Hi everyone:

Karen: nope, never tried clomid before..I've heard the same thing..but my doc said that if I get in any pelvic/abdominal pain to call and they will do an u/s...I'm excited about it!!! I had horrible adverse reactions to the Lupron..so I'm hoping and thinking I will be okay..I can't have issues w/all medicaitons...right? so far, no s/e..but i'm taking 50 mgs. 2nd day, I take it at night..so they aren't so horrible. Hope everything works out w/work!!! that seriosuly sounds scary. I can't believe she's turning one already!!! crazy, crazy!!!

it was 112 degrees yesterday..and that was at 5p..dh told me that it was 120 out at the Kayla (big cement slab out in the middle of the flight line...w/just a canopy type thing over it. ) gets super hot out there.

Hey, ladies!
Sorry for the extended absence. Things have been uncontrollably busy here, and it will still be so for a bit, but I had a few minutes today... so, what is any news that I missed???

A brief summary of life in the last couple of months...
~We are closing on a house tomorrow (one of the things keeping us so busy), and we will be moving in over the next two weeks.
~My cat that turned out to have asthma was beginning treatment for it and then wound up with an entirely different and fast-moving cancer. We had to put him to sleep on April 28. I am still crying. I miss him so very much.
~I got a transfer from my middle school, a rough place to be, to a wonderful elementary school. I am so nervous about dong well at my new school! Everyone assures me I will be fine, but I have been at my middle school for five years, and this new school is not only elementary, but in a very different area (closer! woohoo!) with a very different group of kids and parents. Should be interesting.
~I have conitnued spotting for all but about a week every cycle (the week after ovulation), so before I go on to another IVF cycle (which will be a fresh blast cycle.. a new thing for me), I am going to have a sonohistogram done.

I really miss you guys, and I hope I can find some time to keep up. After we finish moving, things should be slow for the rest of the summer since I am not teaching summer school this year. I need the break anyway!

Talk to you all soon!
