Okay, sorry if name is as creative but....I cannot think of anything. JCR.....Ryley is so cute. Now when she is aming a fashion statement we know what she will look like. Thanks for sharing her. How about you and that belly? Count down is on for gender. I hope he/she shows us something. Lori, I am glad you shared Johhny with us and all of his accomplishments so far. Keep the stories coming. Shauna, a fence climber. hmm, maybe that is am upcoming profession of some kind. keep us posted. Tracy, how did appointment go? Any info on LAP? I am so glad insurance is fixed. D, you are very pretty. Thanks for sharing with us. Girl, I have got to give you credit in TTC with one leg. You go girl...that is determination. CC, glad IUI went well and I bet spending some quality time with dh after was nice. Let us know about tomorrow. Wow, 8:15am for you is 11:15am for me. I will be shipping my kids home for the summer and be celebrating both that and your IUI. I am going to try and get some blood work again either tomorrow morning or Wednesday at 10am. This is such a busy time. RE is not interested in levels again but OB wants another one. It is driving me crazy. I guess maybe for piece of mind, I might. Any advice? Okay...tired, and needing some sleep. Hope you all find me.

Lynn - that's a great name for this thread! Everyone wants to see that positive!! Just wanted to check in. Gotta go get some sleep... 3:30 am will be here before I know it. Have a great night!!

HI! I found you all! The 2WW is moving slowly for me this month. I am due for AF on the 13th. My email addy is [email protected] I love to get emials that arent selling viagra or something so I would love to see pics of everybody. I will send some as soon as i enter all the email addys into my address book, but it may take a couple days. Lynn- my DH thinks Im a little crazy. I called him all excited and was like "Lynn is pregnant!!" Hes like "Do we know a Lynn?" Anyway I am so happy for you!! Babydust all!!

andrea, thanks for the well wishes. I talk about you girls and my dh just laughs and is glad I made friends who I can discuss these issues with so he does not have to listen to me. I do have my roommate from college to talk to as she is also experiencing some difficulty. Lori, 3:30am.....wow, does dh get up adn off to work that early? I would not function. Next month I am going to need to get up at 2:30am (on Mondays)to get dh off to work and I am dreading it. I hope eveyone find us. Talk to you later.

OK, I love my husband but getting up in the middle of the night to see him off to work just wouldn't happen. Sorry. I'd roll over and wake him up, but that's the extent of it. I laughed so damn hard when I read how determined D is to be having sex with one leg!!!! My little sister just had to have surgery on her foot and was in a cast, and she was laughing too about having sex in a cast; how unsexy that was for her. When you picture it, it really is funny. CC--I think your DH's #'s sound great and with those four big follies, you guys are well on your way to success. Keep close to your heart that it is very possible for you this month! Lynn--I am sooooooo happy that your numbers doubled. I have good feelings about this. Oh, and your DH has great blue eyes. I was looking at your picture thinking....I'll bet when she took that pic that she never thought she'd be PG so soon. AND/OR she was probably PG when she took that, but didn't know it. I really don't know when the pic was taken, but my mond was focused on the fact that now that couple is going to parents. D--also, don't worry about the warm feeling. It is normal. I know you said it went away, but when there is swelling, it happens. I went in for bloodwork yesterday. Haven't heard back from them on that, but I know they will call me eventually. Just routine blood draw at my request. I have to call back in a little while for the surgery date. I am so down about thinking that I could be sitting here typing for the next four months with nothing to contribute and no chance of a BFP. I will be here, you can believe that, but won't be happy about sitting out for so long. D--my DH checked our email thingie and doesn't know why it didn't work....try again and let me know if it sends you an error or return.

D--my DH said for you to change the subject of your email. He has all kinds of blockers up, so it might help if you just write "hello" or something like that as the subject. He thinks that should do the trick.

Ok. so i got to make this quick. I am really in a lot of pain again today. i went with dh to my dr so that he could get checked out because he hasn't been feeling right for 4 days. dr said he thinks they are tension headaches. he gave him pills for it hopefully it will work. Trying to explain to dh he needs to slow down is impossible and i am ready to tell his sister she needs to help with her moms house. dh is a husband, son, pool man, landscaper, electrician, mover, mechanic, dog walker, caretaker everything under the son. he cannot keep doing all these things. although i hate to say it but i even said to dh maybe married life just isen't for him. he has too many other things to worry about... he said "no you are the best part of my life" i thought that was sweet. BUt i am really concerned about him and I think I need to speak to his family because why does it all have to be on him, its not fair. he is ready to pop. dr said so dr said "slow down" you think dh will No cause he can't. I am so worried. as for ttc this month is without a doubt a bust i think. we haven't been able to do anything in 5 days maybe the meds dh is getting will help him feel better. since we were at my regular dr i asked them to look at my leg. the nurse said "just healing" no infection. that was a relief i cannot wait to get them out on thursday. i will check back soon. i gotta go lay down and get some ice on my leg. I am glad that i can make you all laugh. it is funny trying to keep one leg still. :o). not to mention it is fun. and i can't really go into much detail.. lol. but you all should try it. just keep that one leg poker straight, almost as if it is being held in spot.. LOL. so there are your laughs for the day. be back soon. Hope you all are doing well.

d, seriously, you are too funny!! Your post made me laugh a lot. You are right though, if dh wont talk to his family and take some of the load off himself, then you should..It sounds like he is doing lots of jobs that could be done by others...Does your SIL help out at all? Hopefully, things will calm down for him and for you..A new thread, I always love when we start fresh! Postive Vibes is just what we have going here..great name Lynn! Tracy, I thought all the same things you did (even down to Lynn's dh's eyes) about your pic of you and dh Lynn..I thought about you being pregnant too..Yeah!!!! d, you are small, and you are tan!! Its funny, you are pretty much what I pictured, but Lynn, I thought you had brown straight hair and jcr, I thought you were blond..Boy was I off! Ryley is soo cute, and she does look like she has some serious fashion sense! I'll work on some pics of me. Andrea, my dh also thought I was nuts after about the 25th time I said "Im so happy for my friend Lynn"!!! He told me I wasnt as excited for people we knew, and wanted to know why I was so excited. I told him just what d said, its just different since we know the struggles. It just makes it that much more sweet for someone else. Hey Tracy, even if you have to sit out for awhile, you do contribute every day to all of us..You give hope, positive attitude, and advice to us all. I know you wont be happy to have to wait a bit, but it will all be worth it, to get a clean bill of health..Then you will have that baby right away! Andrea, I have now joined you in the 2ww..Im being very positive and KNOW this is my time..(At least thats what I keep telling myself!) I have a preg test scheduled for 6-20, and if I make it that far w/o spotting like I did last time, then I will be really hopeful. This time, Im allowing myself to really hope. Just farther to fall if its a bfp, but its more fun this way and thinking about the what if's.
Anyway-I'll chk in later, I have to catch up on tons of work after playing hooky all day yesterday.

I meant to say "farther to fall if its a bfn"..I really should proof read before I hit the submit button and not after!

Lap is scheduled for July 7th and bloodwork came back normal. My heart of hearts is telling me he is going to remove the fibroid. Whatever, I know it's for the best. I have some sort of pain everyday, so it must be done. CC-this is your month, we all believe it! I always say keep the faith, and I am realizing that what we need to keep the faith in is our bodies. We are capable of so much more than we often think. D--you were nothing like I pictured you....I thought you would have dark brown hair and have olive (tan) skin. Sort of greek, italian, or even hispanic coloring. JCR--I also thought you were blond. Maybe it's the california thing. Lynn, I pictured you to have straight brown hair in a "bob". I have no idea why. Girl, you've got some curls on your head. Do you think your wee one will have curly hair? Well, I need to run to the store for some distilled water so I can do my nose douche!!!! My sinuses are not happy today. Maybe if I could quit smoking they would be more content....ya think?? I went out and bought the gum, but have yet to really try to stop. I need to though because I need to be infection free for surgery, and keep getting sinus infections. DUH!!!!! The docs office will call me in a day or two to let me know if I have gotten rid of the strep. Be back later.

yeah ladies. I am short i do have medium length hair. I am italian, hungarian, brazlian and german. I got my fathers skin tone. I burn easy but i do end up tanning real nice. my brother took after my mother with the olive tone. LOL. tracy i thought you would be the really tan one living in FL. My SIL doesn't help out. she lives so far away. 3 hrs. but we all have weekends just about. i dunno. I just worry about my dh. I love him. As for the bd I sure do hope dh and i can get some in tonight. I felt pretty good the other day after it. LOL

Tracy, enjoy your nose douche LOL!! That cracked me up!! Lynn, I pictured you with longer dark hair, don't know why?? I agree with everyone your dh has amazing blue eyes! As for me, I have been blonde, red, brunette every color under the sun!! Blond is just too hard to keep up and EVERYONE else here is blond. I do the different thing now! D, you go girl bding with a bum leg wow! CC, how are the IUI's going? Lynn, how are you feeling? Your levels are going up like they should EXCELLENT!! I think this is the one! Andrea, good luck in the 2ww and we'll hold are breath! Lori, I am so glad little Johnny is doing so well, shows what love and nurturing can do for a little soul!! Gotta run! Ryley is yelling "MOM COME PLEASE!" at the top of her lungs, that followed by a long silence usually isn't good news!! Bellyrubs.

Okay.....Tracy, I ditto what CC said about sticking around. If you are delayed, we are going to stick around to cheer you to a BFP. I can remember my RE telling me I had to go on bcp after my surgery. I thought I was going to burst. I know I needed to heal. He did have to verbally remind me I had "MAJOR" surgery even though I could only see four tiny holes. Please keep that in mind after your LAP. They do lots of stuff inside those tiny holes and it is best your body heals so when you get that BFP, nothing is wrong and baby goes to term. CC, staying positive. good thing for mind and body. I totally understand what you said about letting yourself fall into the what-ifs. It is a long fall sometimes but remember.. we are here to pick you up and get you going again. We are not going to have to cuz you are going to make it happen. D, I am so laughing at you and trying to picture in my head keeping a leg still. LOL. I am glad the nurse could say it was healing. I asked my SIL and she said without looking at it, she would hate to say anything. 2 more days until doctor looks over it. I can relate to dh doing everything. My SIL lives 2 hours away and we live 45 minutes from in-laws. They used to call all the time for him to do little things. When we got married and a new house...he would tell them when he came over he would help. We eventually decided to cut-back our time with them and it has helped. I will say, it came from dh not me. I was not going to get into the middle of that. Andrea, now you have a waiting buddy. Hope you both have a BFP. Shauna, Lori and JCR...what are you girls doing today? About the picture I sent....it was our engagement picture taken May of 2003. The curly hair is a brand new perm which did not have time to relax before the picture. That is my natural hair color and when I have time to keep up with haircuts, it is a bob to my shoulders with wispy bangs (now..no perm). I have super poker straight hair. Dh shaves his to get the smooth look. Thanks for the compliments on his killer eyes. I would love for nothing else but our child to have those eyes but seeing mine are so dark brown, I am afraid that is where we will be going. I have lost about 20 more pounds from that picture and dh has lost about 25 from when it was taken. D, you are sort of what I pictured...brown hair and eyes....jcr, I pictured blonde only because of Ryley. Okay, need to get some work done. will check back later.

Just got back from seeing "The Break Up" with my mother in law and some of her friends. It was good, but brought back up some of those familiar emotions of breaking up with someone that you love. I guess that means that it was effective acting! Guys, thanks so much for taling me through the hurt I am feeling over this lap thing. I know in the grand scheme of things the healing time is not that long, but you know....every day counts. I will still try naturally this month though. Had a migraine today. I was hoping at some point I'd beat these things with exercise, but to no avail. I seem to be getting them just after AF, about days 4 thru 6. I know they are hormonal, so must just go with the flow. I am drugges up on Immitrex, so gonna go lay down. Have a good night. I'll check in first thing.

fourth line down is supposed to say "talking me through this lap thing"

WOW, "oops I did it again"!!!! The last sentence is supposed to say "drugged up". It's obvious I need to lay down.
