Rac- Yay for great numbers! Sorry you are ouchie.

Lindy- Uterine pain on one side, or ovarian pain? I get (got) ovarian pains and uterine pains at O and AF. All this (we think) was related to my endo. I am by no means saying that pelvic pain= endo, b/c it doesn't. I'm just saying I'm pretty hyper sensitive to what hurts and when.

Irene- Thanks!

I REALLY want a smoke now.

Dangit.

Texas Girls-here I come.

Just got the call. Grandma passed away. Oh crap. I want ya'll to know that me & her weren't really close and it's been her "time" for a while. She's free now and I'm ok with it all. BUT, my mother is a total nutcase who has been anxiously awaiting this day for way too long. Sick b**ch-she's finally gonna get her inheritance. So I gotta jet down there and deal with the funeral and all. And Attempt to keep that woman on some type of leash.

OH CRAP! I just realized that I might miss my fertile period, depending on how long I'm gone.

Lovely

Anyhow, if ya'll don't see me for a while, you'll know where I am....right outside of Houston-otherwise known as hell. Not sure when we are leaving yet, but wanted to get this down, just to be safe.

Claire ~ I'm sorry you are going through a hard time. One big giant hug to you and be strong. I'll be thinking about you.

__________________

Claire - So sorry to hear about that. But be strong and don't smoke. I too used to smoke and I know it's hard, especially right now. I used to buy myself something every Friday with the money I saved from smoking as my reward. Needless to say I ended up having a pretty nice makeup collection, that I never use.

We really weren't talking about ttc, just about that we both are ready for kids.

Right after we got married, DH boss and wife came to the lake with us, her and I had a long conversation about trying, but not really trying just not preventing. So he knew we probably were. But I guess DH said something the other day about that we really weren't trying anymore. Probably just to get them off his back too. It just caught me off guard and I was like WTH?

Ok I'm getting out of here, my boss was working me like a dog today!

talk to you all later, skaters.

I GOT A + OPK!!!!! Only a week late, but... luckily I tested right before the dr's office closes for the day and I called. They want me to come in tomorrow morning bright and early for an u/s and if things look good, we'll do the iui. So I'm just praying that I really do have a follie that's ready to pop! I've been having o pain and ewcm all day, which is what made me test.

SO I had a really great day! Rac, I just know this was all from the left over vibes for you... My BF passed nursing, I had a great day at school, went for a pedi and mani, and dinner w/ Crystal! Just a really good day.

Anyway, here goes for catching up...
Becky, I am sending you babydust this cycle, hopefully we can do this so you won't have to go thru the lap.

Deanna, jealous, and well good luck with them... I just hope that they don't do ne thing to ruin your vaca.

Lindy, I kwym... my temps are up and down, just a few pts, but i'd love them to just stay up... this fluct'ing makes me craz!

Oh Irene, I hope so too... Could it poss be that easy??? I'm really praying to be pg by atleast Aug... I know i'm not giving myself much time, but my dream was to always have a May baby... I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that God is aware and that's y it hasn't happened yet?!?!?

Mel, so cute that you guys had a ball date... I can just never bring myself to go. I think dh would think I were sick if I ever said I would.

Mary... I'm jealous, I still don't have CH's! Maybe next cycle (if there is one??) Oh and confused about the boss???

Oh Claire... You asked for this (j/k) Hope you can all keep up... here goes!
So YES I do have "sister'S" that are young enough to be in Girl Scouts. However, they aren't who I was referring too... I was born and raised in New Orleans. My parents had my brother, then two yrs later... me. That's it. Just two of us. They divorced and both remarried, my mother years before my father. When my mom remarried, I inherited two sisters, one the same age and I and one 2 yrs younger. Also 1 other brother who is 6 years younger than I. (So now there were 5 of us.) My Dad remarried and had twin girls. They are 7 or maybe 8 now...so 17 years younger than me. (Now there are 7). But... When I was 17, my aunt and uncle adopted me. They had already had 2 boys, (2 and 1 at the time, and she was pg with twins). So since I lived with them as they all grew up... I added a few more "siblings" to my list! So technically... the "Sister" whom I'm referring too from Girl Scouts, is really only a cousin, but she is MY baby sister! (oh and she's 9 now)! Hope this helps... And who knows, I prob was an accident... everything else in this web seems to have been??? PS. If anyone should smoke.. it should be me! Keep it up!!! Also, sry about Gma. Hope things work out for you. Just smile and nod....

Rac... Yeah for a good day! Sry you're uncomfy... it'll all be worth it in the end!

JJ...I'm so gald you got that +. It's just such a great feeling... Good luck tomo, and bring on the iui... Oh and def give us your color... I love not having to decide what to wear! You girls are inspirations in every way...

K So I just picked my fert color and explained all in the fert color thread. I'm thinking this bracelet idea is great. I faithfully wear a hair tie on my wrist, and never use it. I'dlove to replace that with something of meaning. I'm thinking of making something that incorporates my color and either a plumeria or hibiscus(have to see what I can find at the craft store), but I'd also like to add all of my fellow tcc'ers colors. I honestly do think of you all often. DH think's i'm random but I just think that he doesn't understand yet! Anywho... I wanna make sure that I don't forget anyone, and if it comes out ok, i'd def be willing to make others for you girlies! So some kinda way, we need to come up with a list of current tcc'ers and their colors... Any ideas? ( i know some still don't even have a color )

__________________

JJ ~ Yay to a +OPK, finally!!! I was planning on wearing a blue shirt tomorrow for when I have to go down to the job interview tomorrow after school!

Becky ~ Ah, it's all right, the Astros beat the Giants the night before It was an awesome game, two bats broke, the Astros hit a homer, collision in the outfield where both players were shook up...

Ashley ~ I love going to baseball games. I won't watch baseball on TV, I have to be there, I love the energy (& the food). I don't know if you read in the Fertility color thread that my color is periwinkle. I'm placing my order for a bracelet when you get around to making them

JJ - Lots of luck today! I hope you see lots of follies and get your IUI!! We'll be cycle buddies. I have blue on for you, too.

JJ - I will be wearing blue too! This sure is making getting ready a lot easier, LOL. And good luck, we will all be waiting to hear how it went.

Ashley- Let me know when you want my braclet order, I'd love one in pink! And you and Mel are lucky you guys have exciting baseball teams to watch, we watch the KC Royals. And when I say watch I mean every flippin game on tv, and it we can make it to the staduim there too. I basically forget about all my other shows when the Royals play. And I know I'm stupid but what is CH? And my crossline went away, so who knows what the means. And what a large family you have, must be a lot of fun. And I loved girl scouts and I'm trying to remember some of the activities that I really enjoyed. Camp was always fun. If I think of any, I let you know.

Lindy - Still having some pain? I'll stalk your chart today! Any big exciting birthday plans?

Mel - Good Luck tonight w/ the interview. And I'm with you on the food at the stadium, we have these chili cheese tots, that are so YUMMY! We went to the game last Saturday and it poured on us in the 1st inning. I wish DH would understand why it's so boring to watch it on tv.

I'm just sitting here watching airplanes, not really but that song just came in my head, when I was thinking about sitting here waiting for AF she will probably be here for Memorial Weekend, which DH and I will be lake bound. That's going to be wonderful!

bye bye for now, and could anyone explain to me, in stup terms how to get the actually ticker on my signature, instead of just the linK?

Mary - to post your ff ticker, after you go through all the steps of customizing it (choosing the slider, etc) at the end you get to a page with the codes for sharing it on boards and web pages. Copy the bbCode into your signature - it should start with [url=http ..... ] As for other things like blinkies, most of us have photobucket accounts that we save them to. CH stands for crosshairs. I'm not sure why yours went away since your temp is still higher... we'll have to see over the next few days.

JJ - I'm so glad that you finally got your positive OPK! See we were all right that it was just delayed I'm wearing a blue shirt for you today for the IUI!

Mel - the baseball game sounds fun. Its been years since I've been to a Yankee game and now there's going to be a new stadium which kind of makes me sad

Ashley - wow that is a pretty convulated family story! I'm from a small family and I'm always a little jealous of people with lots of siblings... I'm sure it has its ups and downs though! I had Cristina make me a glitter name in my fertility color - maybe we could all have something like that so we could easily remember each other's colors...

Claire - so sorry about your grandma. Even if you weren't close, I know its still sad especially when you have to deal with the other family situations that sound like a real pain.

Rebecca - sorry that you had some discomfort/pain - hopefully it all ends up being for a good cause!

Good Morning Ladies!! I hope everyone is doing well. I am doing okay. I just wish I had a "fast forward my life" button rather than having to go through the two week wait. lol.

Congrats JJ! My thoughts and prayers are with you! I'm sure everything will be great.

Claire - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please stay strong with regards to smoking.. You can do it! I heard somewhere that after 3 days it is all a mental battle, that at that time your body is not physically needing nicotine.

Rebecca - I hope you are feeling better today!
