cmelissa, How awesome about your eggs!!! I am sending you pg vibes and lots of prayers. I hope everyone is doing ok. It seems kinda quiet here today. I am going to spend the weekend with my sister and niece. Have a great weekend my sweet friends!

GM gals!! Missed ya;) Well as I was c/p I saw a couple people I haven't seen in awhile...I am going to let my dog in and downy the clothes - I'll be back to catch up shortly. Luvyas!

Well looks as if I am the first to post this Saturday morning! Well it's noon now I think. AF is starting, gggrr. Had some spotting yesterday, I can only assume the flood will come very soon. My chart predicted Wednesday, I guess I really Oed early this month. I couldn't use my temps or opk's as the temps were a bit wacky and I only got an inkling as to when O was going to happen with the opks. I kinda ran out of tests and got so busy I spaced getting more since I knew the last one was so close to a positive. To be entirely honest I am not so sure I Oed at all this month. I have been worried about my brother's situation and other things, so who knows. I am so learning patience during this process. Hey ROBYN_ loved the website you sent me what an eye opener. Glad to hear the kitty is better. Can't wait to see the pics! JEN_ I got a bit backed up at work and side tracked at home as usual. I haven't plugged in my nutrition for a couple days. I may go catch that up today. What did you think of the site? RHONDA_ I have heard great things and aweful things about Soy, so I stay away. I am a bit concerned about the Chantix - I read the product specs and because it is so new with only a few clinical trials and the fact that you can't trail ttc or pregnant women I am a bit concerned with effects on fertility. The pkg says it was tested on rats at 30x reg dose and effected fertility of the offspring, but at 10x it didn't so there is no comparison for a human to analyse. That's a bit freaky. I guess the great thing is I will be charting, etc so if I have a notion of pregnancy I can alert a doc and stop taking em. I suppose the important thing is not that I get pregnant at this point but that I quit smoking and lose some of this weight. KELLEY_ your post isyet another reason why I should lose weight. I just can't believe I have putall of this off so long. Well I can, actually, weight makes us lazy and laziness is what it is. CHRISTINE_ Big family or a lot of friends, that's a bunch of people who care and yes that is the important thing! Hi GAYLE! Hi BROOKE! MELISSA_ 5 fertilized eggs, thats awesome! Hopefully goodthings to come - I definitely have my fingers crossed for! My toes too if I can muster it ;) JESS_ Oh that is so great...you must be glowing in excitement! You gonna post some pics? Chiropracter's can rid colic in a pinch btw. Great news RHONDA! LESLIE_ Ah Mexican food is my favorite! My hubby used to sacrifice and we'd go every week but not anymore. (he hates it, so whenever he thinks he's in the doghouse, lol we go) KATHY_ Have a wonderful time with your sister and niece!

Thanks bl im glad it went good too.hellos to everyone.We are trying to potty train our son it seems to be going so so.

hey girls checking in. Spent the day shopping for DH's b-day on thursday. We finally are done with moving the apt is empty and now we have a ton of stuff in our garage but its coming along. The house is so awesome its great to come home to it. Anyway finally done with the Prometrium and feel like AF is on its way any minute. MELISSA when do you find out about the embies? Yes I do have to start BCP then go to Lupron did you have to do that i dont remember? Anyway hi to all of you hope youre all doing well I will check in tomorrow.

Hi wonderful ladies. Sorry its been a couple of days. Had my house warming party last night. Kinda bummed though. Only had about ten people there and they were all dh and my imediate family. My friends decided to go to New Mexico and a couple went home for the break- which didnt upset me. We got way to much food thought so now we have enough for a week. My new neighbors cam over with their two little girls. It was nice actually spending time with them. They invited us to theirs and their dd 1st bday. I am so tired after getting everything ready and taken care of last night. At least they all helped clean up. Leslie- How was the girls night out? I havent had one of those in awhile. Kelley- Hope your having fun. Im so glad to be on my two week break. It is much needed to bring my blood pressure down.Katt- so sorry that af is on her ugly way. Good for you though for making a plan to lose weight and quit smoking. My dr said I needed to lose weight too and as I was getting ready to take a Rx I found out that I was pg so it will be something that I will start afterwards. My dr also thought that I was diabetic which I am so far from so they started me metphormine until I saw my gyno who said he was an idiot b/c pg women's sugar levels are crazy in early pregnancy. Anyways it was so interesting before I got pg. Leslie & Kelley- did you gals take that nasty gestational diabeties test yet? I took mine last week. It was so gross. Rhonda- as long as your dr is not worried about your weight you are fine. I gain a few pounds and lose more the next time and my dr is fine with it because they baby is still doing very well. I may be losing the weight but in no way is he being deprived of anything. Ive already been told that hes a big baby. So I wouldnt worry too much about the weight thing. I also just barely started to really show this past month and Im 29 weeks. Will you next apt be your 1st u/s? I have my next apt on Tues and I get the results of my third trimester testing. How are you feeling? cmelissa- I will be praying for some of those embies to stick. Hope your butt starts feeling better soon. Maybe youll become numb to the shots. Robyn- Hope all goes well with you ivf process. You will be in my prayers. bl- so glad to hear that everything went well and you all had fun. sweetsouthern- wow. Cant beileve its been about a month already. Cant wait for you to get pics of Dominick up so we can see the little guy. Hope you are both doing well and hope to hear from you soon. Well ladies Im going to go make me something to eat and then Im going to lay back down. Still so tired from yesturday. I will check in later today. Hi to everyone!

GOOD MORNING! First to post again I see...Wow girls I am stunned - where the hell is everyone?! Hmm...either y'all have moved on or you're taking advantage of the last hopes for warm weather! I choose the weather because I couldn't handle anything else;) Hey did I tell you the results of my dh's last SA? The uro said it was normal (whatever that means - I didn't get a number and normal to him is above 20mil) MELISSA_ Get yourself a donut, ya know one of those cusion thingies? I am actually happy AF is coming, lol that means I can work out my hubby this month! I mean he's got that lil blue pill so hopefully he'll get the jitters outof his head, haha. JEN_ I am on it! Oh and just a tip...if you start those shakes drinking a full one 2xs a day and in 2 weeks you have gained weight, try drinking 1/2 4xs a day then eating dinner. I used to drink 1/2 a shake and toast a piece of Arnolds multigrain (purple label) and put peanut butter and a dash of cinnamin throughout - tasty! Thank you BROOKE_ I can't wait for AF to run it'scourse so I can get started with ttc again! RHONDA_ Good luck with the toilet! ROBYN_ I am wishing good things for you! LESLIE_ I made mexican last night - yummy...I always eat too much, haha! Well girls I will check in again before football starts. Luvyas and babydust!

CHRISTINE_ We literally posted at the same time, lol! Sorry to hear your party was smaller than you hoped for. Hope you got lots of goodies! Which flavor did the doc give you for the GGT? Everything but orange is gross - well they're all cruddy cause ya gotta drink it up so quick on an empty stomach and then get stuck for hours after. How many hours?

hey JEN_ I can't find you under domestic goddess - did you or someone sign up as ttcj75? Anyhoo, I folound out my name there is katt2lose - sorry... ;)

OOPS - JEN_ I just found you and sent an invite!

Hey Ladies - I'm a little freaked out and worried now b/c right now my 5 eggs - 2 are still 2cell(which isnt good they havent divided) 2 are 4 cell and 1 is 6cell, I'm supposed to have the ET on Tuesday but if they havent reached blastocyst stage then it may be Wednesday. So now i'm worried im not going to have any good ones to transfer and im really upset. I really wanted at least 2 to be transfered so i have a better chance! I'm just devastated now this cycle is going to be a bust! I feel they need to be more aggressive with the meds since they only retrieved 6 mature ones maybe they need to up the meds - or maybe my embies arent growing right, oh all the worries we have to go through its just so difficult! Sorry i needed to vent!! Also my butt hurts so bad I can barely sit and sleep b/c everytime i move it aches so bad!! Robyn yes i did the bcp's then the lupron. Pooh wow you are just starting to show thats nice! cant beleive you are 29 weeks - YEAH!! I hope i get pregnant one day!! Leslie hope you had a nice girls night out!

cmel, I am praying you have success this round! Christine, Sorry your party wasn't as big as you hoped. But you got more face time with everyone who came. Katt it is great that DH SA was normal. Brooke, I am happy that your anniv & DH bday was nice! To answer how I fell emotionally... sometimes good and sometimes not so good. Today is not so good. I had just a little bright red bleeding and that is it. I am frustrated and just want this to be over already. I will get that pill on Tuesday to speed things along. But all in all, I am okay. I had a nice weekend with my sis and niece. I hope e1 is having a great weekend. Talk to you guys later.
