TTC 30-Something Chatty Thread-We're Ready for BFP's!

Kara* · #2 (**permalink**) 08-26-2006, 05:38 AM

Good morning all!
DH is out of town so we have been hanging out. We had a back to school swim party yesterday with some friends..and then went to the mall with SIL and her kids. Today we need to hit the grocery store and not sure what else. Tomorrow is church and then my nephews birthday party at 4!

Things are going ok..I haven't told the kids yet..Gonna wait till the u/s. But I am excited to do that...Praying every day that everything is ok!!!

Kara...Glad everything is fine! Sounds like you've had a fun few days! Keep up posted!

Where is everybody else? It's quiet around here...

Me...Getting ready to clean house and do laundry. Then I have to run to the grocery. I have some good news (I think

)...I've been in touch with a couple of girls who I used to work with at another company. One is in upper managment and I am waiting on a call about a new job with the old company. My job now is still bad and only turning worse. All of us are looking for new jobs and I was told yesterday the board probably won't give us time to turn things around. It's really ashame...if my boss would just listen to her staff and do what she is suppose to do, it could change around very quickly and we could save the company but she's not going to do that. At this point, all of us have no choice but to move on. The only problem with the new job is the fertility treatments but I am hoping to negotitate those with the acception of the new job.

In other news,

is here. UGH! Now I have to figure out what to do about the meds and u/s. CD10 for me will be next Monday and it's Labor Day and the office is closed. So, most likely, I'll be waiting a day until cd11 for the u/s. I'll probably wait and take the Clomid cd5-9 and it should hold off

like it did the last time.

Hi ladies!!

I just got back from my u/s and b/w and now waiting for the relsults..the RE will call me later today. I hope I get the go ahead!

Kelli...That's great about the new job!! Keep us posted

I hope you can delay O and I am hoping for a BFP from you

Kara...I am glad to hear things are fine, and I would really like you to stay and chat with us too

Teece...I'm sorry you are not having a good month. We are here to listen and I know things will turn around soon.

Angie...I am sorry this cycle was not it...

Has anyone heard from Missy?

I have to keep busy while waiting for the RE to call, so off to clean house and talk dh into going to lunch

I will update more later!!

Janay

Janay - I hope you get the good news call!!!

Kelli- I hope you get a great offer with the other company...that would be great for yoU!! and hopefully work in the fertility treatments too!!

we're heading out to swim!!

racechick24 · #7 (**permalink**) 08-26-2006, 12:40 PM

Janet....

...I'm keeping everything

for you until you hear from the RE! I'm sure everything will be fine and you'll be on your way! Are you going to watch the race from Bristol this evening? I'm going to be sad (kind of)...Dh and I should be there but I'm sure DH's friend is having a blast! OH, and I haven't heard or seen anything from Missy...she used to post on the Clomid board too but I haven't seen anything from her. Maybe I'll do a search on her username (I believe it Dagny?)and see if she is posting anywhere else but I doubt it. I know the last time I saw anything she posted, she was getting ready for her medical boards.

Kara...Have fun swimming! It's getting gray here so I think it's going to rain soon. It's very humid, though!

Me...just came back from Walmart! I bought Isaiah a computer game for 1st grade learning. He's already got homework...some spelling words to work on. I don't think this teacher is as apt to work with me and DH as his Kindergarten teacher was. I sent a note with Isaiah the other day and didn't get any response. (it wasn't bad or I didn't say anything about SIL but just kind of explained the situation nicely and how me and DH are involved in his life and we'd like to know about school stuff). Good news is that she does send home a newsletter on Fridays and spelling words on Friday to work on over the weekend so at least I'll know most of what's going on.

Off to finish laundry!

BBL!

Hi girls!!

I got the call and I am okay to start

I think I am in shock

tomorrow I will start stims! YIKES!!!

Kelli...Thanks sweetie

I am going to watch bristol and I was just telling Dh that you gave your tickets away. I really love the Bristol races

lots of "bumping"

Thanks for the info on Missy...I am kinda worried. I hope she might see this and post. I bet Isaiah will love that learning game

You and dh are so good for him

sorry about the teacher, but at least you will know what is going on

Kara...Thanks sweetie!! Did you have fun swimming? I love to swim!! I go almost every day, but can't do it while stimming.

hello everyone else!! Lurkers and newbies please feel free to join in

We would love to get to know you all better

BBL

Janay...Yep...I'm thinking I made a mistake by selling those tickets!

Especially since Jeffy is running (currently) in 2nd place...I told DH that Jeff will end up winning since we didn't go!

Oh, well...there's always next year! Glad you got the green light...YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY BECOME THE HUMAN PINCUSHION of the board! :clap

Me...Just watching the race! Ooopps...need to clarify...Jeff is now in 1st! (only 315 more laps to go

)

I'll check in later tomorrow...I'm going to Lens Crafters with my mom to help her get a new pair of glasses so it will be later in the evening!

Kara* · #10 (**permalink**) 08-26-2006, 07:11 PM

Yeah Janay!!!! That is great!!

My husband has been in Bristol since Wednesday! They have tickets for both races and renew every year!!

Kelli- Maybe you could talk to the teacher in person??? Maybe she's not sure what information she is allowed to give or somethign..I would think she would want to talk to anyone that is giong to help the child though!

We swam for a couple hours..Its supposed to rain tomorrow, we really need it!!

KellyA · #11 (**permalink**) 08-27-2006, 10:31 AM

Hi girls!

Sorry I went missing again. I've been trying to check in but haven't been able to find much time to post lately.

Janay: I'm so excited you are cycling!!!! When is your first follie check?

Teece: Sorry about the immunization. I'd be PO'd too.

Michelle: How'd your first appt. at the AC go?

Kelli: Glad you can adjust the Clomid so that you won't have to sit out this cycle.

Kara:

on your beta numbers!! How ya feeling?

My gallbladder scan came back fine but I do have a renal cyst in my kidney that she said could be causing the pain.

At work, the lady who does the same job as me retired and reassured us that she was leaving everything finished up...well she left everything in a mess and I've had to do her job plus mine and it's been exhausting. Hopefully, things are beginning to settle down though. We have beach plans for the Labor Day weekend...can't wait to relax. What's everyone else up to next weekend?

racechick24 · #12 (**permalink**) 08-27-2006, 12:54 PM

Kara...we have the season tickets, too(we usually stay at Bill Gaines Bristol Campground)...I love Bristol but I sold both sets of tickets earlier this year when I got pg (guess I jumped the gun, huh?) figuring Bristol wouldn't be the best place for a pg person. Haven't decided about next year's tickets...I will keep renewing them, though. One day, I hope to take Isaiah and have him and DH go and me stay over in the campground with the baby! I just don't think Isaiah is quite old enough yet...maybe when he is around 8 or so.

Kelly...

...I was worried about you! Glad you gallbladder scan came back fine! I would bet it is the renal cyst causing the pain. Sorry to see you're having a bad time at work...trust me, I can relate. I'm still cleaning up messes (but hopefully not for much longer!). Have you bought any nursery stuff yet?

Me...finishing the cleaning from yesterday. It's beginning to storm here! I'll check in later!

SmittyJr · #13 (**permalink**) 08-27-2006, 07:46 PM

Hi girls, hope everyone is doing well.

Janay: I'm so excited for you! Can wait to get your reports!!

Kelli: thanks for all your support, I've been having a tough couple weeks in every area, it stinks. And, I just saw the news on the crash in Kentucky, and it's got me sto stressed out about travel. I've been having more and more anxiety about traveling and this might put me over the edge.

Kelly: Thanks

Glad you have found some answers on the gallbladder issue, hope you stay well!!

OK girls, (another) long week ahead!

hopeful gal · #14 (**permalink**) 08-27-2006, 08:36 PM

Teece...Thanks sweetie!! I am sorry you are having a tough time. We are all here for you. Here is a

sweetie

Kelly...I am so glad your gallbaldder checked out fine, but sorry to hear about the renal cyst, I bet that is what is causing the pain.

Kara...Thanks!! Oh I bet your dh had fun!! Is he home now?

Angie...Thinking about you sweetie

My second injection went well too

I will be gone most of tomorrow, my parents and I are going to the parade of homes

should be fun!! I will check in later tomorrow!!

Janay

SmittyJr · #15 (**permalink**) 08-28-2006, 02:01 PM

Hope everyone got through Monday!

I'm trying to be super positive and not drag everyone down. I made a IUI countdown ticker since I won't be trying this cycle (d/t the MMR shot).

Janay: Thanks for the big hug and have fun at PoH's tomorrow!

That will totally put you in the mood to buy a new house! LOL! I have been thinking a lot lately about selling our house and moving closer to Cleveland. The schools down here suck and I don't like where our taxes are spent. They are replacing all the street corners with brick and they don't have funding to plow our street in the winter. Ugh.

Kelli: Hope the job search is prosperous! I know changing jobs will be hard since you've accrewed all that time off. I get 4 weeks of vaca here and 5 next year. I'm considering a move to a smaller agency. Things here are just too hectic and I want to be able to focus on MY life, family, doggies and so on. It's been on my mind a lot lately, but my DH says we need a new roof if we move, so there's that.

Michelle: Any new Nutritionist news!?

Kelly: Sorry work is yuckie for you too. What's with all the work stress lately? Grr.

OK, ttyl girls!

racechick24 · #16 (**permalink**) 08-28-2006, 06:15 PM

Janay...Hope you had fun on the tour of homes today! How's our resident PinCushion doing?

This makes shot #3 today, right?

Teece...sounds like you've got a lot on your plate right now! Hang in there! If it's one thing I've learned about TTC, you just learn a lot of patience! (But you already know that.)We're here for you!

Me...well...let's just say work will be very interesting come next week! The big boss now knows everything as a few staff members blew up today and completely told everything. (I got called into all of it) I feel better and I hope that things will get cleaned up but my boss in on vacation until next week so nothing will be done until then. I heard from the other job today...I had to fax my resume to them again and I should hear something soon. I just have to wait and weigh my options when I find out more. I know the stress of work can't be helping my TTC situation either.

In other news...I have an appt next Tuesday for my cd11 u/s.

that it isn't too late but we'll just have to wait and see. I'm seeing a different dr. d/t my dr. not being there (see below) so I hope he can work with my cervix.

On a funny note: I went to CVS to pick up my Clomid rx. and I run into my OB. I noticed she was noticably skinnier...so it was obvious that she had her baby. She says to me "I'm a lot skinnier, huh? I just came from the hospital...I just had the baby last night! Not even 24 hrs later...I checked myself out of the hospital and I'm on my way to clean up the house and going back later to pick up the baby!" "Oh, and in between, I have to get to Kindergarten orientation for Joseph."

(that was her youngest until she had baby boy #5 last night!) She asked about me and I told her about next weeks appt and she said she'll be checking the schedules and if she can, she'll be in for my appt next week!

So, I'm just hoping this is my cycle!

Kara* · #17 (**permalink**) 08-28-2006, 07:32 PM

Kelli - THat was so sweet of her!! and wow, losing all that in 24 hrs!!!! LOL!

Teece- I'm about an hour and a half from Cleveland...Where are you in relaton?

DH had a great time!! I wish I had a 5day weekend away! LOL!

Today was Josh's first day of school!!! Austin still has my nephew for a week and then its just him..Hes gonna take it so hard!!!

hopeful gal · #18 (**permalink**) 08-29-2006, 10:17 AM

Kelli...Your doc sounds so sweet

wishing you lots of

for this cycle!!

I hope the work thing works out for you!!

Kara...You have Bristol tickets too..oh man I am green with envy! I can't wait to hear about your u/s in less than 2 weeks

Michelle...How are you doing sweetie?

Kelly...My u/s and b/w will be tomorrow

I hope I am growing lots of follies!! Have fun at the beach!! I hope your work slows down so you can post with us more!! Have you decided on bedding yet?

I have my follie scan/ bw tomorrow so please wish me luck!! I feel something going on down there!!

Janay

SmittyJr · #19 (**permalink**) 08-29-2006, 11:22 AM

Kara: We are in West Akron right now. I'm from the Westside of Cleveland, originally (Westlake). Where are you? I know people are funny about where the live, so don't feel pressured to answer.

Janay: I'm thinking good thoughts for you.

Kelli: I can't believe your OB, scheesh! Busy lady!

for you!

Kara* · #20 (**permalink**) 08-30-2006, 06:17 PM

Janay - How did it go today?????

Teece--I am in a little town south of Youngstown..I know where Akron is! LOL!
