Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!! Irish I am and I have the temper (when pushed over the edge). My brother is the very typical irish person...red hair, temper and all. Tracy, I did use the monitor for 7 months with no luck for me. It did however let me know I do not ovulate on a regular basis (which lead to HcG shots). I gave to back to my friend for her and began with RE. CC is correct to follow it closely so it memorizes you and gives you accuracte information. CC....grieving is a process and you are at the beginning. Like I have mentioned before...you will always shed a tear for your dad no matter how much time passes. But only you can go through this and at the pace you can handle. My dad will be gone 6 years this May and I still think about things when he was alive. Go at your pace. I agree with you motto....if god did not love different sizes of people, we would all be the same. I tell dh I am "fluffy" not fat. Stupid huh? d....any trips for the traveling girl? jcr...have fun if you have not left yet. Enjoy the time with just the three of you. Before you know it, there will be four. EMM...anything about doctor? Lori...how are you? Havent' talk to you for a while. check back later girls...

Hey ladies. Happy green wearing day! Sorry i've been AWOL. I have pneumonia right now and been in bed/hospital for the last 2 weeks. I am now on my 2 week wait to see if i'm preggers although i doubt it because of all the meds i had to take probably contradicted the other meds for infertility and probably messed up the O. ah well. there is always next month after the laproscopy. any good news i need to hear?

Lulu...sorry you are so sick. Hope you begin to feel better soon. I might wait until next month since you are probably on bunches of meds. Feel better soon.

Lynn, when I read you call yourself "fluffy" I laughed so hard. Thats great, I am going to have to use that one sometimes! What you said about grieving is really true. I just am ready for some good news for myself this year and I hope and pray that being pregnant is going to happen for me this year. SOON! Lulu-thats awful that you have been so sick and in the hospital even! Take care of yourself and rest..Hope everyone is enjoying their day..Will check in later.

Lulu-glad to have you back! Pneumonia is a big deal, take care of yourself and heal, heal, heal. Guys my torso is so sore I can't even lift myself up off the couch like normal people do. That is a good sign though that some sleeping muscles are waking up. Thanks for the info on the monitor too. I guess this month I will just do OPKs. I will still go in for my day 21 progesterone test too cuz I'm curious to see how I ovulate on the left without meds. My doctor has no idea I did not take the clomid this month. I'll tell him when I go in to get my day21 results. Appointment with new doctor is now 26 days away. I'll call on Monday to see if they have had any cancellations yet. I'm anxious to see him as soon as possible. D--eat anything funky today??

Hey Ladies. Lulu glad to hear from you. Feel better soon. Tracy no weird creations. Just mozz and spanish olives with italian dressing. Lynn nope staying home this weekend. Dh has baseball practice tomorrow and we have dinner at a friends tomorrow night. Now the time of year has come that we won't go anywhere. CC nope no prenatals for me. They make me sick. So i eat 3 flinstones vitamins a day. sometimes more. I really should start eating more. This is the longest two week wait ever. -----------
CC- I haven't lost my father yet so i really don't know how you feel. But one thing I can tell you is. In 1994 my favorite aunt (she was my best friend). she was my hair lady, was my other mother, was everything you could ever imagine. She had a massive heart attack right at our favorite summer getaway (the one day I didn't go) right after july 4 and I just came to accept it one year ago. I at first showed emotion. It was a shock. Then I went downhill. I bounced back about 3 years later. I held it in from the day I grabbed onto her casket and wouldn't let go. My parents had to pull me away. Ever since that day I held it in. Well can't really say held it in but I wouldn't show the emotion. Then finally it hit again and I went downhill again. I made the mistake of not seeing her on 4th of july and till this day I regret it. I will never forgive myself. Dh took me to the place that she died and I walked talked and finally made peace. Right after that dh & I got a new phone number and it is the last 4 digits my aunts number used to be. And the other thing is if My Aunt didn't passon I would have never met my husband --- OK with this long story I am trying to make a point. Don't hold it in too much. Try to release it sometimes. I can't begin to tell you the things I did wrong back then. It takes time and it won't happen over night- it may never happen at all. But he is with you. Sorry if I made anyone cry. Anyone hear from Lori? I soo want a BFP this month but I know it is never going to happen.Today is day 21 and I keep getting cramps on and off. I never get cramps a week before But I am sure it is probably bad pms this month. OH dh said I am really moody too!!Pms. Who is going to get their BFP'S this month???? I am waiting to hear everyone shout!! Bellyrubs, Babydust, Little Fingers and Toes.

I think I am tired a bit. I re-read my message above and really jumbled lots of words. LOL. CC- b4 i forget. My father is on his last legs but just keeps holding on. He is holding on for his grandchild and I don't think It will ever happen. He has a pacemaker and a difibulator, he is on dialysis 5 times a week. Only have of his heart works. Those things were put in and aren't doing anything. He needs a transplant but won't go on the list. cause he feels he has lived his life and doesn't want it to go to him rather than a kid who needs it. But I tried to explain to him that a 53 yr old man healthier than he is will get a transplant before him and he will never beat a 20 yr old. The 20 yr old will always get one first. My dad is only 54. So if he were to go on the list now he would still have a 7 yr wait for everyone to get before him. but he still won't do it. He is a stubborn man.
OK sorry ladies. I am blabbing once again. I have strawberry cheescake icecream in the freezer with graham cracker and all I think I might go have some now.

Hi ladies, that is realy good topic.I am in 2ww after second iui last friday and I wish from the bottom of my hearth to all TTC ladies positive results soon.God will hear our prayers together.To all allredy pregnant and mom's all the the best with yours pregnancy and with your kids.Dear God bless us all together.Baby dust to all.

Thanks for the positive vibes Lilly. D-- I'm sorry about your aunt and the struggle you are going through with your own father. I don't speak to my father, so I don't even know how he's doing. It's a very long story, but there's a wicked stepmomster involved. Anyway, heart problems run on his side of the family, so I expect some bad news someday. CC--if you ever need to get anything out and need to talk, please share with us...we are totally here for you OK? Well, the strangest thing happened to me last night....DH and I had sex for no reason!!!! Meaning: it wasn't scheduled and we know I am not fertile right now, but we just did it anyway???? That was so strange for me because it seems like for the longest time there has been an ulterior motive to sex...this time, no motive! I didn't know what to do with myself!!! Patch is on by the way.

Good morning ladies! Lilly - thanks for your words, and Bless Your Belly! Lulu - glad to see you back. Sorry to hear that you have been so sick! Hope you feel 100% better soon!! Tracy - you go girl!! I was reading this morning that a good romp in the hay is as good an excercise as jogging 3 miles! Tell your DH he could be your "personal" trainer, LOL!! By the way, your pictures are beautiful! D - I can relate to your story about your aunt. The day before my sister went into her comma I was talking on the phone with her, she said she had a terrible headache and had to go lay down. My words to her were "Yeah right, you probably just don't want to talk to me". That was the last time I ever heard her voice. Even typing it puts tears in my eyes, and that was 8 long years ago! We always think we are going to have tomorrow. That is why I say the same thing to my DH every time he leaves for work... "have a good day, drive careful, be careful and I will see you this afternoon, I love you". Some people have commented on the fact that I get up in the mornings with him when I don't have to. But you just NEVER know what the day will bring! EMM - how goes it with you? Lynn - have you started with the preseed yet? I like "fluffy" too, it's better than "pillsbury dough girl"!! CC - hang in there! I have said it before but I will say it again... I just have a feeling that you are going to get pregnant soon! JCR - hope you are having a great time! Well it is cd9 for me and I think I have some good follies going on... I have had quite a bit of "pain" in that area. This morning I went to stand up and felt like I was going to fall over from pain, had to sit right back down... hope my ovaries aren't hyperstimulated from the clomid. Oh well, u/s on Wednesday will let me know. Take care ladies!!

Lori. Your story made me cry heart out. I am so very sorry about your sister. I believe that 8 yrs later you just might have guilt left. I know i do and it is 12 years this year. May I ask what happened? Was she sick for a while? I hope everyone is well. My gums are killing me today for some odd reason. They really hurt. Sorry All I don't mean to be rude. But I gotta run. Got lots of stuff to do before We go out tonight. Bellyrubs, Babydust Little fingers and toes.

Hey girls.....No I have not begun to use the preseed. I am saving it for planned sex so there is CM / lubrication for the swimmers. Hey Tracy...we had unplanned sex this afternoon. It is actually funny...I was doing wash and dh came in and began kissing on me and one thing lead to another and..... (okay TMI). Hopefully, one of these months I will be fertile enough to get pregnant. d...have fun tonight and enjoy yourself. jcr...I hope your having fun. EMM...thinking about you and hoping you are getting some answers. Lori....how much clomid are you on? Just an FYI, my RE said it dries your CM so if you do not produce alot keep a close eye on it. CC...how are you doing today? Lulu..I hope you are beginning to feel alittle better.

omg ladies. dh and I had unplanned sex too today. However as far as i know it is too late for me. Our thing started in the shower this morning. TMI too I know. LOL. Evreyone have a great evening. Bellyrubs and Babydust!

Hey girlies. Where are you? I have an appointment at ten to finally start the nutrition aspect of my training. Can't wait to hear what he has to say. Need to start cooking although I have no interest in it. DH was starving last night, there was no food in the house, and he said, "Well, my wife doesn't cook....." He really doesn't usually care, but sometimes I know he'd like a home cooked meal. I cook Spaghetti about once a week, but that's it. Any other easy ideas for chicken or fish??? I'm lost in the kitchen unless I am baking something, which I love to do. Dinners are so overwhelming unless you have the right cook book. My books all have these complex recipes that scare me away. DH said,"I'm sure you can get some recipes from the internet, if you can find out how to make a nuclear bomb online, I'm sure there are easy recipes!" Well, gonna go get dressed. I'll check back this afternoon. Love ya.

hey Tracy....I got an easy recipe for chicken. I take about 4 boneless chilcken breast, clena them and put them in some corningware. I cover it with 1 can of cream of chicken soup adn 1 can of milk (mix together first and pour over chicken). I cook them on 350 for about 2 hours (depends on how many chicken you have in and how thick). I make some veggies and julianne potatoes. Little prep time and very easy...try it. I have some other quick things I will look up. I have a recipe book called quick and easy using 4 things or less. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. check back later.

Thank you Lynn. My biggest problem with that recipe is that I am allergic to dairy. I get really sick if I eat it. I like the sound of that cookbook though. Where did you find it??? I just had my nutritional meeting and it looks as though I have to eat chicken or fish without all the hoopla, so I need to find some really basic ways of cooking them. I feel sorry for DH because I have a very strict diet and will have to cook seperately for him. Anyway....hope everyone is having a great weekend....
