I love all the nursery ideas. I haven't really thought about it much, but I know I'd love to paint a mural because it's been years since I've been able to do one! I did several during college and it was really fun. Tracy, your ho comments made me laugh. The rampant sex is about the only good part of all of this. Although I have to confess that I hate using the opks - when I get neg opks, it really takes all the fun out of it for me. Wow, ANDALVY, your story is definitely crazy. Have you had a lot of pain with that condition? You mentioned something about that. I keep worrying that maybe there is something internal wrong and that I'd find out at the hsg or lap (like you or Tracy), but I keep trying to tell myself that it's probably just age and the length of my cycles that's the problem. Plus dh works out of town a lot during the summer, so during at least 2 of the last few cycles, our chances at pg have been really low. He finally told his boss and co-worker recently about our issues so that they don't think he's being a jerk when he tries to wriggle out of field work! Well, I'd better get to bed...it's almost past my bedtime ;-)

TRACY, i am not offended about your ho comment..i had to laugh. our tv is on all the time here also. i mostly have it on for the noise value. every now and then dh will come into the livingroom and ask me if i even know what is on. EMM, i hope you showed Kaelen who the boss was. does he take a nap during the day still? maybe he is getting too much during the day instead of at night. who knows sometimes how their minds work. keep up that BDIng girl. you can do it. it is good practice for your next go around. trust me, i was not an active participant during all those BD sessions. i just went along with it mainly to show dh that it was not going to work (boy was i eating my words). D, how are you doing? are you allowed to drive yet? ANDREA, i am glad you had a chance to tell your side and they responded in a positive way. now that you have some information, get some questions together for the next doctor. keep us posted. JCR, how is your energy? well, you've gone over the hump and now it is a race to the finish line. have you decorated the nursery yet? VAL, just a suggestion...if OPK's put too much pressure on your BD sessions...don't use them. i used them for 2 days until my RE said seeing i had PCOS it would not accurately detect when i O. LORI, i am all about Alison getting booted. she was telling some serious lies but i cannot figure out why Jase did not call her out on some of them. I do have to say i did not like him in his season but maybe this new girlfriend adn her child have turned him into a little better of a person. did you say your MIL is going to watch Johnny while you both go away? did dh do the job of asking her? CC, i think Howie is funny also and agree it would be cute for the first couple of hours and then i would need to tell him to hush. i hope he is only messing with Will. I would hate to think deep down he is attracted to him. i went to the kitchen and came back to chicken georage on howie and was trying to figure out what they were doing. UGH. crazy things. okay...did not wake up with a headache (yeah) and when dh got up he went to panera bread and got me my favorite bagel with some cream cheese. he wants to go out for lunch and dinner. wow, i am not sure our pocket book adn my belly can handle that. he also said, today is the 12th (our anniversay) and i can collect on my BD session anytime today, right? gosh he has a good memory. okay...need to shower and see what we are doing today. i hope we can survive the day together. yesterday, i did lots of crying for no reason (damn hormones). okay, check back later girls.

CC- good book to read. "Whispers from the dead". I read it years ago. I am not sure if it is still out there but it was excellent! I think it might be by Ann Rice but I am not sure. that was many moons ago

OH LYNN- HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!. ..wink wink.....now make sure you take care of dh so he isen't playing with the monkey like TRACYS dh. LOL, LMAO!!! TRACT thanks for making me laugh always: Love you all!! A lot happened on here last night. MY niece is visiting so I wasn't on the pc last night. All she does is talk!! ahhhh. I had a headache by 11 last night.. he hehehe. Be back gotta do some work. But everyone sure was chatty in here too last night!!

Thanks D, enjoy your visit and don't work too much.

Lynn, I like your DH. He just sounds like a really nice guy who really does care about you and likes being with you. I know that's what love is supposed to be like, but so often that's not the way things are. Give him a hug from us and thank him for taking such good care of you. Have a fabulous anniversary and tell him to be gentle! I am going to have to watch that damn show you all keep talking about. When I worked at a model and talent agency in Miami, we represented a guy who was on that show. He was such an a'hole....I can't remember his name, but I'm curious to see if he is on there now. I would definitely recognize his face. When is it on again? Next Tuesday? CC--I just finished reading a good book called "One Thousand White Women" and loved it, but I don't know how you'd like it. My sister in law and MIL read a lot and they always recommend things or give me books and that was one of them. I also enjoyed the crap out of the book "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory. I was sucked into that book by surprise and could not put it down. "A million Little Pieces" was good even though the author has since admitted to making some stuff up to juice up the story, and "Memoirs of a Geisha" is a great book if you haven't already seen the movie. Val--my HSG was great and didn't indicate anything was wrong at all, so don't rely on that for much beyond the tube thing. I highly recommend the lap because we had no clue that anything was going on, and meanwhile, everything was going on! Sonograms, ultrasounds, HSG, post coital.....and all they found were 2 fibroids. The lap revealed a lot. I just have to say that having you guys in my life at this time has helped beyond words (weep, weep). Thank you.

Lynn, Happy Anniversary!! Sounds like dh has a very sweet day planned, and of course get a littling bd'ing in! Enjoy your day and time w/ dh. You are allowed to cry for no reason, thats what lot of pregnant woman do! Lori, if you like Jase, you must have loved his "bathing" suit he wore last night. What was that all about? It was basically a cup!! Tracy, Im not sure when its on again but Lori/Lynn might know. Its on different days of the week sometimes. Val, I wish I was talented enough to paint a mural! How cool. D/Tracy, thanks for the book recomendations. I will chk them all out. Funny that you mentioned A Million Little Pieces Tracy..I have always been interested in reading that book, even after all that happened w/ the author. I almost bought it @ Target the other day and decided to wait and get it on Amazon.

Lynn, happy anniversary (and I think I forgot to say congrats on your pg)!! Tracy, thanks for the lap advice... I read what you wrote about that on another post. It sounds like you had no symptoms for everything the dr found? Hope you are recovering well and taking it easy today! By the way, I've been meaning to rent "the Future of Food"... it sounds really interesting. CC, I just read "Intuition" by Allegra Goodman and really enjoyed it. Also, "Prodigal Summer" by Barbara Kingsolver is one of my favorites for this time of year. I also just read a book by Kristen Gore... can't remember the name but it was light and pretty funny.

LYNN - Happy Anniversary!! Enjoy your time with your DH! Kind of jealous of you right now!! CC - The bathing suit Jase had on made be say, "Put some clothes on buddy!" LOL!! But, I still like him this season. Well, not much going on with me today. I told DH that he has TOTAL responsibility of Johnny today. I have got to get the upstairs cleaned and organized and get some more stuff on Ebay! Check in when I can.

Lynn- Are you two planning a evening out or a few days away? JUst make sure you two have fun and enjoy your anniversary. Ours is on the 20th next month (1yr)
be back soon. I have a spy today.

Val, the only symptoms I had was, the first two days of my AF are very painful. I did not know what to compare my pain with, but when I couldn't go to the gym or do anything, and essentially life sucked, I realized that maybe I was in enough pain for there to be something going on. I also never remembered my periods making me suffer so much in the past. I guess since these things get worse so slowly, you just get used to the discomfort and think it's normal. CC--I also liked Dan Brown's book "Angels and Demons". If you like the Davinci Code you will like that one just as much. And the sequel to "A Million Little Pieces" is supposed to be really good too, I haven't read it, but my SIL said she loved it. It's called something like "My Friend Leonard" I think. Val, I wrote down the names of those books you recommended. I'm on the hunt for something captivating right now. So, you are a music teacher huh? and apparently quite artistic? Come paint my nursery when I get knocked up ok??? You need to watch that documentary about food. Everybody should. I was so pissed off and realized why I am allergic to everything. I always told my DH that food companies have just as much, if not more, power than Oil and Energy companies, and I was right. I'm going to start researching initiatives for requiring the FDA to label Genetically Modified foods. I also watched a documentary, well basically speeches given by Noam Chomsky........he is by far the sharpest, wisest man I have ever heard speak in my life. I thank God when I see that there are people that sharp still on this planet trying to make a difference.

Anyone around?

I'm popping in and out, but I can only post so many times by myself before you guys start thinking I'm nuts!

Hey everyone. It has been a slow day here. Chris slept all day, and Kaelan went for his play day. So, I was able to do some work and get some housework done. My mom is coming to stay the weekend. I even watched a movie. It was nice...and unusually quiet. Perfect day really. DH has gone for his night shift. I will be glad when this is over. Anyway, I don't remember if I told you (during all his trying to get promoted) that he got a job outside Tampa, but it fell through. Now he is applying to a different place...somewhere in North Tampa. They are really expanding down in that area. I really don't want to go there, but I want more money. The CM is gone, so we didn't BD today. It is just really hard to do with his schedule and dinner and Kaelan. So, I guess we did fairly well this time around. I told him that he should tell them that he needs to work a certain shift during O time. He said he might have to. I don't know if he was really considering it or just trying to get me to shut up. It could go either way. I know how much he wants it, but I don't know if he would say suggest such a thing as changing around his schedule so we can DO IT. Anyway, so I guess officially in the TWW. AF is due on the 20th. I have been thinking that my luteal phase is only 11 days which would have put me Oing on Monday. My only CM was yesterday though. We BDed on Wed, Thur, Fri, Sunday and Tuesday but not Monday. Any thoughts? Lynn, happy anniversary!

Hey Emm, my thoughts are.....that you got in lots of nookie!!!! Also, don't forget to look at the cost of living when considering Florida. I'm not sure what costs are like North of Tampa, but Florida has some really expensive spots, so while he may be making more money, rent might be higher. Just a thought, but I'm sure you are on top of all that anyways. I have a post-op appointment tomorrow to discuss my new options.....wish me luck!

Yeah Tracy. I am looking now. We used to live in Pembroke Pines. It was really high. We were wanting to buy our first home when he gets this promotion. We were also hoping to only spend about 150,00 to 170,000. That is why I am hoping that he gets the job in Charlotte, NC! I can't wait to hear what the options are!
