Good morning girlies.....how's it hanging? Lynn, I thought of you so many times last night and feel so good about your pregnancy. It just goes to show what perseverance and a pro-active attitude can do. You have inspired me to keep on keepin on!

YEAH LYNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so thrilled for you!! I am in the 2WW right now and when AF shows I go in for an HSG. I hope that I will follow you though! Lori my email is [email protected]. I would love to see pics of your little Johnny! I hope everybody joins Lynn this month!! Babydust!

andrea...you and CC will be pretty close in the 2ww. I am still in shock and go the the potty thinking i feel AF coming. I do not know whne it is going to sink in. I am tired and going to take a nap with hubby. check back later.

Our cable and internet have been down all day until now, and its been really frustrating because I have been thinking of you girls all morning. Lynn, I went to bed thinking of you, and woke up thinking about you!! I know I keep saying it, but I am soo happy for you and dh. I tried to imagine myself in your place all morning, and I dont think it would have sunk in for me yet either. I laughed when I read that you were waiting for the Dr office to call you and tell you the read the wrong blood results. You are pregnant!!! WHooo HOO!!! Im on cloud 9 for you and am so excited. I figured you will be due the end of Feb beginning of March right? I went back and re-read some of your posts in your 2WW and it was all subtle, but little signs were there. Still feeling no cramping, etc? Any cm changes. Wouldnt that be great if you were having natural twins?? Ok, Im getting ahead of myself here. Let us know how you get on tomorrow w/ your blood work. I dont know what else to say but "YYYYEEEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lol. just wanted to say again. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWw. CONGRATS!!!! :o) :o) o) :o). sorry ladies. in A lot of Pain here. Af has ended. it was gone the day of surgery (tues) but she came back wed and is gone. and this is the 2nd month 30 day cycle so maybe I switched. G2g lay back down. I am sorry. I am truly sorry I can't sit down at the pc long enough. The learning how to walk again with my right leg is tough. That is what it is. It doesn't move on its own cause of the part of the tendon being gone.

D, I hope you are beginning to feel better soon. I hope that PT can really get you back to walking without so much pain. CC, it still have not sunk in. I keep going to the bathroom expecting to see........ My boobs hurt on and off....is that normal? I do not have solid aching. I did make lunch today and it smelled okay but the minute I began eating, it was not what I wanted. So gave it to dh. I have been drinking lots of water and had a little sherbert. Not sure what to try for dinner. Not many choices in the house. Well, my friends and her husband are coming over for his haircut so I will check back when they are gone. CC...did you e-mail address have all those letters in it?

D- so sorry you are in so much pain. I think about how you must feel and I cringe!!! If someone cut my tendon I'd kick their ass with my good leg!!! Lynn--I am like the others....it would not be sinking in for me either and I would probably stay in shock for a while. Look at JCR, she was in shock for a little while there, but is now feeling that little "non-gender-specific" baby moving around in her tummy. I knew your day would come, as will the day when that child of "ours" will be moving around inside of you too. How is it all sinking in for your DH?? Has he come out of the clouds yet?

Tracy, nope...it is not sinking in with dh. He said today he was not going to let it sink in until he knew everything was okay. I am not sure when that is but the only thing he says is: "Look at all the money we have given to "those" doctors and we did not need them. I knew this was going to happen if we got pregnant on our own. I am still thankful for all the help I got from my RE. I do not think I would know anything if I did not have some issues to learn from. Anyway....I am just hoping evey day goes smoothly and I make it to the next day. I am telling both of my boss in the administration building since I do work for her until June 28th and I am going to spend many weeks at a doctors office. I have taken 2 naps today and peeing has picked up. I usually go to the bathroom lots anyway but gosh...I was up three times during the night. I rpomised myself whatever cards I was dealt, I was going to live with each of them. Getting up to pee is minimal. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Lori-Your little Johnny is absolutely adorable!! Lynn- hoorah again! I am about a week ahead of CC this month. send some of your extra baby dust to both of us OK?!

Lynn-I think the cutoof point for most of the worrying is 10 to 12 weeks. It seems like a long time, but it will fly by. I would tell your DH that amny times the meds give your system a boost, so the money was not wasted. Look at how many women have to go through years of infertility, get IVF done, and then their next child is a natural pregnancy soon after the birth of their IVF baby. I am hoping that is what will happen to me. I know you have been through a lot, but try to remember that many women go on to carry full term, healthy babies after going through what you have. I say all this because this is such a special time for you and I want you to spend more time enjoying it rather than in fear. The fear is soooo natural, I think we all will feel the same way, but enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!! Well, to change the subject a little. I am glad my doc is going to do a lap because I have realized over the last two days just how painful my periods usually are. Whether it's from endo or fibroids, I don't know, but every time I get AF I am out for the count, in pain, for the first two days to the point that I can barely do anything without wanting to just be in the fetal position. I recall many times at work just bending over and wishing I could go home. I thought that was normal, but now I realize it's not. I also have to live on 3 motrin at a time and the heating pad. AND if you look in my training log, I am always out for the first two days that I get AF. CC- how you feeling on those shots woman? JCR-how's the "genderless" baby? Lori-getting enough sleep with the wee one there? Does he take afternoon naps? D- I hope the pain gets better fast, but in reality I know that it is going to take time to heal. Do you want to mail me some pain killers??? Just kidding man!! Andrea-great to hear from you. Sure wish Emm would check in. I remember her posts about her and DH and really hope all is well with them. I'll check in later!

That first sentence is supposed to say "cut off" point....

Hi all. I think I will be on pain killers for a long time. My girlfriend who is a nurse told me to make sure I take one before i go to therapy everyday. The good thing is I do have 1 refill but I am afraid I am going to run out. I knew i would have pain but i think it is more on the fact that i can't bend, straighten or lift my leg on my own... I just woke up not to long ago and I am ready to take a pain killer. I know I can't sit and read all your posts. But I want you to all know I am thinking about every one of you.. I will try to check back at some point but not sure if i can. dh is getting ready to leave to go to my mil. nice,, he is leaving me alone once again and he is going to help me to the couch get me situated and then he is going and will be gone all day. ttyl. Bellyrubs and babydust!! and now i want to hear more BFP shouts!!!!!!!!

I am just going to drop a quick note here right now. Lynn, once they see a heartbeat you have like an 80% chance of having the pregnancy stay successful. I think I saw the heartbeat at 6 or 7 weeks. Hang in there and really listen to your body, when it says nap DO IT!! Try to eat bland things with not much smell. I found cold green grapes helped me???? Strange I know. You know what they say Third times a charm!! Keep the faith and bellyrubbing. BIG HUG!! CC, how are the injections going? Tracy what cd are you on? D, sorry there is so much pain! Lori, what a cutie!! I'll try to send a picture of Ryley back! Gotta run!

Hi everybody!! Lynn - How are you doing?? Will you know your blood levels today or will you have to wait until Monday?? D - Hopefully once you start PT you'll bounce back quickly. How long did your Dr. say that it will take to recover?? Tracy - Sorry to hear that AF is giving you pain. I used to be like that when I was younger... but now it seems like I have so much energy during AF that I actually feel like I could bounce off the walls!! I literally run around the house and jump and skip to try to exspend the energy!!! CC - How are you doing? Are you done with your shots? What is your schedule for IUI?? JCR - not too much longer until we find out the sex of your littlest one!! Andrea - Hopefully this is your month too and you won't need the HSG!!! Shauna - how are you doing?? Everything on my end is going great!! Johnny is really picking up on his walking and talking!! He has figured out how to climb onto the furniture... but as DH puts it... Johnny doesn't quite know that gravity works, lol!! He walked straight of the chair yesterday!! He is fine, but I kind of put a stop to the climbing unless I am at arms length!! Did everybody get their pictures?? I sent them to everyone, so I hope so. But if not, just let me know and I will resend. Well, have to get ready to go to the in-laws. Check back when I can. Have a great day!!!

Hi all-Lynn, if I had a penny for each time I thought of you in the last 48 hours, I would be able to pay for my own IVF!! I can understand what your DH said about all the money you have spent w/ the RE, but...WHO KNEW?? Babies come at their own time, and in the end, it all doesnt matter because now, you are pregnant! It is a special time, and you are doing the right thing..Living for the time you are in now, and ENJOY! Im so happy for you, I think my dh is tired of hearing me say that about you! Good advice from jcr, listen to your body. I was thinking yesterday, all that weight loss probably helped you a lot (its what I need to be doing seriously, although I have lost a few pounds in the last few weeks and am trying)..You are taking Met right? I couldnt remember, but I think you are. Let us know your levels if you get your results back today. Yes, my email address has all those letters in it. I know you asked me that before and I forgot to answer you. Its my name Colleen w/ an extra "o"..Why do you ask? d, take your pain pills when you need them. When did you say you started physical therapy again? Tracy, Im glad you are getting the lap to get things taken care of, and to give you the piece of mind to know you have a clean bill of health and can get started again. You are still waiting for a lap date right? Any idea when it might be? jcr, we would all love to see pics of your daughter!! Send!! We are all ready for your big day this week. Thats some exciting news too! Lori, glad Johnny is advancing and making leaps and gains-literally!! He is so sweet and I just think about his little lips and blue eyes. Andrea, since you are ahead of me---GOOD LUCK!!! If AF shows, then the HSG is a great place to start, but hopefully you will be our next BFP. We need to start a trend. As for me-all shots are now done..I triggered @ 9:00 this morning..IUI # 1 tomorrow @ 8:45 and # 2 Tuesday @ 8:15..Dh and I are fighting right now and just cant seem to get along..Dont know if its me and the meds, or him just being an ass! Could be the combo of the two..MEN!! He is mad because we were to meet friends for brunch today @ 11:30 but they have 3 kids, which means 11:30 has now turned into 1:30 which is "right in the middle of his day" as he puts it. What a baby!!! Hope everyone has a great Sunday..Will chk back in later.

Hello......Well, I went this morning and the RE drew my blood. He is having it ran tomorrow and will compare it with the one on Friday. He asked how I was doing and I said fine. He said that is good and sent me on my way. I will let you all know my levels when I know them. CC, I was asking about your e-mail because I was adding everyone to my e-mail address box and wanted to make sure I had it correct. question for you.....when you took the progestrone cream..did you get AF while using it or did you stop using it and then get AF. My roommate from college is taking it and we just were trying to figure out if she needed to stop taking it or how you were told to take it. JCR, thanks for the advice. I am going to need to go look for grapes. Food really has not been an issue just yet. I have taken some naps. I took 2 yesterday and even slept all night. Not my usual routine. I have taken 1 today. Need to go to the store and get a few things. Hoping dh will go with me. Lori, I know it is not funny but I had to laugh at your dh comment about Johnny. I am glad he is okay but you know little boys...bumps and bruises he will get. D, sorry about the knee. I hope you are feeling better soon. Andrea....so you and CC are going to be in the 2ww together. Shauna, how are things going? Is your foster son feeling better. Tracy, I am sorry that AF is giving you such a beating. I hope you are feeling better soon. Hopefull the LAP eill end the painful AF's. talk to you all later.
