GM everyone. I have been fighting with my two dogs. Yesterday I told Chris before you leave make sure that you fix the fence so the I don't have to be chasing them the whole time that you are gone. Well, about an hour later they had gotten out. This went on for several hours and got extremely annoying. Last night at around 2 a.m. I head Axl barking. It sounded kind of far off, and sure enough they were out of the fence. I spent a few minutes trying to get them to come back to no avail. I just went back to bed. This morning I wake up to work, and they came in. I have spent most of the 3 and a half hours I was supposed to be working messing with them and trying to fix the fence. I called Chris at 7:00 and told him to get home because I was about ready to let them out and not let them back in. Axl is a big dog, and I don't want to give someone the opportunity to say that he bit them. He hasn't ever bit anyone before, but I guess he could look like a biter to someone who doesn't know him. Plus, I know that if attacked he definitely would bite someone. That is the type of breed that he is. Ugh, what I nightmare. Besides the emotionally tired state that those stupid dogs have put me in...I get paid by productivity. Yesterday I made a whopping 25.00 during my scheduled time and today about 15.00. I guess sometimes Chris thinks that since I am at home it is easy to get work done. Well, he is wrong...dogs running around, Kaelan needs cereal, then he needs a diaper change, then I need to use the restroom, the dogs are out again, the dogs are barking...better get up and check to make sure they aren't out again. I just got off the phone with my dad and Chris left at about 9:00. He was supposed to give my dad a check and also drop off some movies for my brother. My dad said he didn't do either of those things. Lovely. What a great day this is going to be, and when he gets here I will ask him about the check and the movies...my gut feeling is that he will get all pissed off. Hope I am wrong. Yes, Lynn [email protected] if you will send that. Thanks. I think I should just go back to bed.

Emm, sorry you are having such a rough morning. Sounds hectic and I would be tense too. Can't blame you. I feel much better this morning. I slept through the night, whereas the night of surgery I was up every hour going to the bathroom. Last night I took half of a muscle relaxer and slept like a baby. I needed it to recover. I am slightly less bloated, but far from being like my old self. I can't walk without my belly jiggling, which hurts, so I have to hold my stomach when I walk. I am also still spotting a little, but that is normal. Do you guys think I'm crazy for wanting to jump right into a cycle of injecables next month? Today is cd11, so I think by the time my next cycle arrives I will be ready. My mom suggested I try to get PG on my own first, but I feel strongly about moving ahead, especially since endo tends to come back. I don't have bad endo, but it was there nonetheless. I can just imagine finding out I am PG at the same time CC does. That would be awesome! I am going to have my mom bring over a VCR today so I can watch my surgery. The doc gave me pictures and a VHS tape. I'm not sure what some of the pics are, but the tape will help clarify that since he explains things as he goes along. Some of the pics are obvious though. Well, I am going to try to straighten up this infirmary a little. In one day my house looks a wreck. Try to get some rest Emm, and just do what you can.

TRACY...wow a video and pictures..neat. at my post-op my RE showed me picture of my ectopic (what my tube looked like with a pregnancy implanted in it) and how it was in the process of rupturing. made it all more real how i could have died. just keep that walking and it will help. glad you are feeling better. about your question of beginning...i am torn and honestly..if it were me, i would wait one cycle before TTC. i am just concerned with the healing that needs to go on inside and i would hate the fact of you got pregnant and m/c since there was not time for everything to heal and prepare properly. just my thought. EMM, wow..your doggies sound like a workout. i would be tired and pissed also. do you have a garage? i would put the in there until dh came home. i am all about taking naps so girl...go getcha one. i e-mailed what we did in May. i would have never thought i would be e-mailing a sex schedule. the things we do to help our fellow chick. well...seems quiet..i am going to go clean a little more. i finished most of computer room..now off to our bedroom. check in later

EMM, hope your day gets better! Those dogs sound crazy! I can related to your dh thinking because you are working from home you arent really working. I have the same problem sometimes with my dh..When he was home sick those few days, I thought I would kill him! Trying to work and take care of him..ugh. Tracy, glad you are on the mend. It would be cool to watch the surgery aftre the fact..I just dont want to see that stuff before I have a procedure, it freaks me out..Afterwards though, when its all said and done would be fascinating. I hope we can both announce bfp's at the same time!! As for doing injectibles your next cycle..If the lap hasnt thrown off your cycle, you would start shots in about 2 wks..I would probably also wait a month and try naturally just to allow more healing time, and I do have a feeling you will be getting your bfp soon, medicated or natural cycle. Since your Dr said it was ok, go with what you feel. I know after taking a lot of time off like you just had to do, you are probably anxious to get back into it..It does seem like after a lap, many get natural bfp's..Whatever is in your heart is what you should do. Let us know when/what you decide. Lynn, if your tips help others get pregnant, I think thats awesome! So nice of you to share. Dh has a hockey game tonight so Im going to shower, go to his game, then we are going out to dinner. Islands..Do any of you go there? I love their taco's there..If I dont get back on here later, have a great night!

Oh..Im w/ EMM, I was also going to suggest a new thread when Tracy came back, this one takes forever..Any thoughts? Anyone want to go for it?

We could even do Positive Vibes 2..Not original, but I like the "Positive" in the name..Whatever you guys want to do.

I think it's Emm or D's turn to start the new thread....or whomever has not done it yet. I know I have, so someone else go for it. I do like when it is all CAPS so it's easy to scroll and spot, so please do that for me! Thanks! My mom and her lover just came over and cooked me dinner. That was nice. I got to use some of the things I got for my wedding a year ago that have yet to be used. Well, I am going to watch the video of my surgery now. I'll let you know what I learned. Enjoy your evening chickies!

Oh, and thanks for your input on the TTC thing. I will talk to the doc on Thursday and try to feel him out on what he thinks I should do. I know he'll be honest, which is why I go to him. I trust him immensely.

Yep, watched the video and I learned that I had it all. A little bit of everything. Very yucky, but interesting. My liver looks wonderful by the way! And my appendix is very healthy he says. I liked that the doctor talked to me while he was performing the surgery. He kept addressing me by name and saying that everything is going to be fine and we will have a baby soon.

Hi everybody! Sorry for being AWOL yesterday. Just a busy day for me. TRACY - I am so glad that you got everything straightened out with your surgery and are ready to move forward. When I had my lap I got pictures too. It is pretty awesome to see what your uterus and ovaries look like. So a video must be even more awesome!! Just make sure to heal and take care of yourself! Oh, and as far as the "peeing" thing. I feel ya there! I had one more shot at it or I would have had to stay the night at the surgery center! It is hard to do when you can't feel anything below the waist!! How is the no smoking going?? I want to congratulate you again! EMM - I hear ya with those darn dogs! You do everything you can to make sure that you have them under control and then when you least expect it, all hell breaks loose!! CC (aka "beach girl") - I CAN NOT wait until the 1st of Sept.!! I just know we will all have something to celebrate!! D - Don't push yourself with that knee! How goes everyting else with you?? Lynn - you are such a smart woman to get yourself organized before the baby arrives! Johnny keeps me hopping so much that it is hard to even do the basics let alone deep cleaning. Just don't push yourself too much there! SHAUNA - any news on your end girl?? Well, I don't know now if we are going on our bike trip, the weather doesn't look that promising this week and I told DH that I refuse to ride in the rain. I also told him that if we were to go, he needed to call his mom and make the babysitting arrangements. I am kind of sick of him thinking all he has to do is say it and I am suppose to make it "happen". If he doesn't make the arrangements then he wasn't that serious about it to begin with. It is strange that we get along better when we are working on something together. We did a lot of yard work this weekend with very little argueing! Well, that is it for now. Have a good night ladies!!

Good morning ladies. How goes it? I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon thank God, I have been a little worried because of the blood that keeps coming out of me. I just worry that I am doing too much and making it worse, but I also know that it is normal to spot as long as it is not like a regular flow. I cleaned and did laundry yesterday, and I know that it was too much. I even went to the supermarket for a couple things. I think I'm just being paranoid. Lori, thanks for checking in. I was thinking about you...hoping you and DH were cool. Marriage always scared me because it is hard and there is pain involved even when it is supposed to be the best thing that happens to two people. I think that's why I married for the first time at age 35. I was so scared of the person who is supposed to love me the most, hurting me so deeply. Well, I hope the rest of you non-checker-inners had a great weekend and that all is well. Me? I'm just bloated with three bandaids stuck to my belly! I finally pooped this morning!!! My new console table is arriving tomorrow. We ordered it from a company called CB2 which is actually owned by Crate and Barrel. I think once shopping season starts again, I am going to apply at Crate and Barrel. I love their stuff and would like to get their discount. Nobody is hiring right now, summer is slow.

Oh, and I meant to address the smoking topic. I am doing very well, I think. I have tried to steal drags from DH's cigarettes, but end up not liking it very much and getting dizzy. I also talked to my best friend yesterday who also quit smoking two months ago and she inspired me to keep going. I have vowed to myself not to play games and fall victim to it again with the drag here and there thing. It's over. I am a non-smoker and will fight against the urges one minute at a time. I learned over the last couple of days that the physical urges are gone and now the game is mental.....and that's the part I always lose, the mental part. I will not lose this time. It's not worth it. I think I am past the worst part, so I am well on my way to beating this addiction.

Just got my staples out. Not as bad as I thought it would be. The surgical nurse says I am healing nicely. I am not allowed to do any more vacuuming or laundry though. YAY!

Hey everyone. Lynn, thanks for the email. You guys were so busy! Chris and I have BDed 4 times in the last 5 days. I think I am definitely going to have to get some of that Preseed. I think I will wait until AF is confirmed. If I order it on the first day it will probably be here in time for O. We will probably get it in again tonight, but I am just not feeling it. He has been asleep all day anyway because he has to work overnight for this whole week. So we may not even be able to get it in before he goes to work. The little one will see to that. So, things are pretty quiet other than my lack of desire to do the deed. Today is cd 17, so most likely the event has taken place. We did miss cd15, but you all seemed to think that was okay. The doc just said the 2 days prior to ovulation. Lynn, maybe you ovulated on the 14th but you took care of it the two days before. Check back in later. Tracy, good to see that you are doing well. How was the appointment?

Tracy, I must have been posting at the same time. Great news! Who wants to do housework???

Oh, I was also thinking about a name...what about WE ALL WANT A POSITIVE. That has the word positive still in it? Just a suggestion.
