Okay, just a quick update, but I will be back at some point today for my personals. RE said I can still cycle and that the med I'm on (Famvir) is safe to take during my FET. He said I should be better in a week anyway. Today my side is looking a bit better already but the pain is still there. The funeral was sad (he was only 44) and a reminder of why I am not waiting to cycle. You just don't know what will happen in life and can't always plan everything. Amelia hasn't pooped again since the she got some out with the suppository. We gave her applesauce and prunes, plus pear juice mixed with water. So I told her that she has to poo by midday or she's getting another suppo. Poor baby! I have a deadline for work stuff and have to get that done and have to go pick up my meds that I'm supposed to start today for my cycle. So that's why I'm just popping in really fast. K, I'll BBS. Hope everyone has a great day!

Okay, I'm going to try to remember everything I wanted to say and fast while the baby naps.

Janine, Wow, I would think that a polyp could impact you getting pg. I'm sorry to hear that you have one, but I'm glad that they are monitoring you. I was told that checking for polyps is one reason that my dr wanted me to do the HSG test again. Glad you will receive treatment for your other diagnosis!

Erica, I sure hope people keep their traps shut about your business. I don't understand why some people can't just wish you well. Geesh! Hope you aren't too uncomfortable! Do you think Peyton understands that she will have two brothers soon?

Stacie, Those are great pictures! Did you get in that photog class that you were on the waiting list? Sorry about the kitties! Can't wait to hear about the bday party!

Jenn, Hope you got your house cleaning done! Oh man, "rocket" was cracking me up. Amelia and Natty are little sumo clones in their build.

Lisa, I hope your DH is feeling better! Congratulations on the house!

Jen, Sorry your DH is obsessing about Talon's head size. Amelia has a big head too, but the drs said it was fine because she is big everywhere. She weighs more than Talon! It's just so weird when I think about how big she is, but then again, I didn't exactly expect to have a small baby either. One of the girls on my Born in Board mentioned something about her older son's head size being large when he was a baby and I think she said it was because of some extra fluid that turned out to be no big deal. He is a "normal" boy and his head is not big anymore. Tell your DH to focus on the other option about being highly intelligent.

V, Congrats on your last BCP! Your BFP is just around the corner now! I think IF is something similiar to coping with death, in that everyone handles it in her own way and at your own pace. Some people can handle cycle after cycle of trying and others can't do more than one cycle. Only you know what you can emotionally handle. Oh and your therapist sounds awful! I'm sorry you had that experience! It's tough to not let life get too far out of balance when you get so focused on any one thing. I wish I had an easy solution to help. I think talking to others and sharing your feelings can help some people.

Kelli, Thanks for the info. I didn't know BP and Shingles were linked. I hope you are getting better by the minute! Stupid stress! So what are your plans for the next few weeks? You are going to veg out, right?!

Chrissy, I hope you find a remedy for the headaches! Keep us posted on how you are doing when you can.

Nancy, You should keep posting here when you can. How's motherhood treating you?

Hope everyone is doing well! The baby just woke up and DH came home early to help a bit since I am worn out. I have a touch of diarrhea now too. Not sure if it is from the new antibiotic or what. I got my meds for my cycle and showed off the baby at my REs office. Everyone was amazed at what a big girl I have. Anyway, I am officially on CD1! I'm going to have to try to rest to get my strength up in the next few weeks, but if all looks good at my lining check and I feel okay at that point, then I will go forward with the cycle.

Just wanted to drop in...

I am doing much better this evening. DH is working until tomorrow (whoever had the bright idea of working 30 hours straight) so he did not even have to deal with my breakdown today. The puppy and I are hanging out. I am off to bed since I am exhausted.

I'm here. Sorry! I got on a bit ago to read the last of the closed thread but I didn't have time to post because it was Peyton's time to wake up from her nap.

Tiny progress. No effacement. She did the beta strep already because I'm likely to go earlier. Dilated to 1, but actually a bit more than that. Didn't mention what station, so I'm sure A is still up in the positives a bit. Tonight, I've had crazy contractions and by crazy, I mean that they're gonna make ME crazy. For almost 2hrs, they were 2 or so minutes apart. But, only Braxtons. Enough to be annoying, but not strong enough to do anything. It was also making the boys a bit nuts. All has calmed down. I'm just calling them mini contractions. Called my closest friend who is a L&D nurse and she told me that it's more likely that I'll go in a matter of days because this can happen for a few days (she apologized for that!) and it's because my uterus is tired and irritated. The OB would like me to last another week and I'm weekly from this point on with my appointments. The NST went okay, but A and B weren't cooperating at the same time.

V - Glad you're feeling better and I'm sorry DH is working when you need his support! Once he's able to get some time off, just schedule a quick trip somewhere so you guys can bond. Do you camp? You could always do something like that in the meantime.

Lisa - Sorry about the issues and the timing! Hope to hear good news about DH and the new house soon!

Jenn - I used to lube up the thermometer and put that in Peyton to get her going. It just stimmed the muscles and then she'd get some out. but, this was when she was littler. These days, the longest she'll go is a day w/o pooping. It's not often, but it does happen. Let me know when you get the check!

Stacy - Keep your fluids up! Don't get dehydrated! I'm so glad that you got to show off Amelia at the RE's office! I bet you made their day! I'm glad that you are starting to feel a little better, too.

Kelli - 35wks!!!!!!! Wasn't your appointment today?

Jen - Sorry DH is driving you crazy about the head issue. Let us know what the doc says!

Stacie, Liz, Janine -

Chrissy - Headaches any better?

Hey ladies I don't think I can catch up with everything but will try and please forgive me if I miss anything!

Kelli-I cannot believe that you are getting so close. I am so glad that you are feeling better

Erica-You too are getting sooooo close! I remember you having Peyton and it seems like yesterday.

Jen-sorry DH is driving you crazy about the head size. I agree that some kids just have bigger heads. I am sure it will be fine

Janine-I think the removal of the Polyp (if need be) will be your ticket to a BFP

Stacy-I'm really sorry about the shingles sweetie. I know they can be VERY painful, and I am glad you are on medication and can continue with the FET. Take it easy

Vwantababy-Sweetie, I am glad you are feeling better. I struggle every day with IF and it has totally taken over my life. I have a great dh and without him I would have given up. Also the support from these boards for the last 4 years have been my lifesaver. Please feel free to vent anytime you want

I'll try and check in tomorrow!!

Janay
