Ok, so the lady I talked to must be on crack. She told me that the hemoglobin level was 6.0 and that meant I was diabetic. Well, I looked it up online before I went and spent more money on groceriess. It has nothing to do with diabetes. It has to do with the red blood cells. So if that is the right result then I am severly anemic, and could potentially be hospitalized for it. Which could be why I am sooooooooooooooooooootired all of the time. So, I am going to the dr's office and getting a copy of the results and have it explained to me again. So please keep me in your prayers that it was all a misunderstanding and she was on crack! If I end up in the hospital I will let you guys know. If I don't I will let you guys know. I am going to the dr office at 2:00 CST which is in 30 minutes. Thanks for all of your concern.

Thanks, Bina and Claire.

Lindy- Good luck at Dr.s! Hope you get some real answers this time...maybe you just talked to some peon who shouldn't have opened her big mouth. Keep us posted!

Wow Lindy - I can't believe that whoever you spoke to misinformed you like that especially since usually they won't release information like that without you speaking to the doctor! I hope you get real answers by talking to your actual doctor!! Keep us posted

Claire - I've checked out that section too and I just don't work out enough to participate (not to mention I eat too much crap)... I go through spurts but always fall back into the bad routines. I hate the fact that I'm not the same size I was when DH and I started dating 7 years ago.

Rebecca - I will look into that Ecover stuff when I run out of my toxic detergent Maybe I'll give Seventh Generation a second shot - I liked the detergent just found that the non-chlorine bleach didn't really work. I think I might try this stuff: Earth Friendly Products Oxo Brite

Bina - I do have a great doctor. I'm so glad that I finally switched several months ago since I had put up with a horrible one for years.

I wanna cry right now so badly. I was having the best day and then I get to school. Second period AP Biology, we are reviewing for their big Exam a week from Monday... okay, so the door to my room is broken. The thingamajiggy that makes the door close at the top, know what I'm talking about? Well, it broke last year, so because my room does not have AC and the heater works minimally, I have the door open when hot and closed when cold. When I leave the door open, sometimes I don't put the kickstand down and the door kind of flaps around softly in the wind. Last week, during second period, a student walked by and slammed my door shut. So I learned my lesson and either closed the door or put the kickstand down. Well, today, again during second a student (not sure if it is the same one) took the time to stop, lean down, put up the kickstand and slam my door shut again! I was halfway to the door when he slammed it shut. I opened the door and saw two guys saunter into the physics room. I walked right after them and into the room and told the teacher to write them up. I walk back to my room and see that the metal piece that controls the door closing is hanging down from the top of the door frame, completely broken!!! I could barely contain how mad I was and it was a real struggle to finish the review. Apparently, the two boys walked out of the physics room when the teacher wrote them up and walked away from the Vice Principal when she tried to talk to them. So now there is a hunt out for them.
To make matters worse, apparently the press was here on campus today interviewing students and administration about a noose that was hung up on a tree in the front of the school and swastikas that were carved into the tree.

Sigh. Sorry to burden you with this again, I hate being the Debbie Downer of the bunch. How many days until school gets out????

Irene, I sure hope so... Atleast i'm better prepared this cycle and know that I should expect a + opk, so I can and will BD esp on Sun. Not like last cycle where I just let things fall apart?!?!?

Claire, We've had those moments. I think that every relationship has unfortunally. I just have to trust that he loves me as much as I love him, bc I'm sure that the feelings are mutual. He has no idea what goes on when he's away either, except for what I tell him...I guess it's just all about trust! Oh and Yeah for your DH being a Big Boy!!! Mine cries if he just has to go for a physical?? They're so funny.

Mel, I sure hope so. I'm just sad bc I was really set on spending my time in the nursery,not the spare bedroom and my room again?? It'll all come together I'm sure. I'm just not really sure what I'm going to do with anything yet? I guess this will give me a chance to jump start the nursery and deciede what room i'll put it in. (whenever we need it)... I was kinda thinking of moving the spare room to the computer room and such, so maybe this will just make my decision for me?? We'll see...

Lindy... oh Lindy!!! I'll just wait to comment after you post on this visit??? Jeepers! Where do some of these people get their degrees???

__________________

Oh Mel... Not too many more! I'm not sure exaclty when you let out, but def not too many more. I think that we all have these days, unfortunally for you it's just a continuous thing right now. It'll get better. I'm so afraid of having my own class. DH pushes me all the time, but some days I just can't even take subbing. It's just so terrible all the pressue that they put on teachers now, and with no support. WHat are you certified in?? Maybe you should go to a younger grade?? The kids seem to be a little more innocent and not so testy... Hopefully things will work out!

OMG Mel - it sounds like your school has rapidly gone from bad to worse! At least you know this is your last term there. I hope the District Attorney of LOVE can make you feel better...

Ashley - sperm can survive for a few days too so even if you haven't gotten your positive before DH leaves it could still work out. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Claire - I kept meaning to post this everytime I see Ashley or Mel's scrap chick siggie... I remember reading back from when I was away and everyone was talking about scrapping... you are not alone: I don't scrap! I wasted a ton of money on all this stuff meaning to scrap a wedding album for myself and 2 brag books for my mother and mil... didn't happen... its collecting dust. Oh well, that was a lesson learned.

Claire, you get your butt over to that weight loss thread right now, young lady! We don't do intimidated around here. I spent most of my high school years as a 13/14, and was a size 20, 267lbs, a year ago when I started my WL journey. There are PLENTY of us that aren't skinny-minies, and some that are, but still need to feel right in their own skin and get back to the size where they can fit their clothes. It's about finding YOUR right size, YOUR right health path, and getting ideas and encouragement, and getting your butt kicked when you need it. There are also multiple people who've just joined the group, so this is a perfect time. Now, you go post young lady. (See, you just witnessed the butt-kicking kind of support LOL!).

Steph-you took the words right out of my mouth. NOBODY should ever feel too intimidated to join a thread, especially such a great one as the weight loss one.

Irene ~ You made me laugh, thank you! Ashley, thank you too. The custodian removed the hanging piece of metal, I guess they figure as long as the door closes and locks, it's still okay. Seniors haven't pulled their prank yet and if they do what they did last year, I'll need a new door. Last year, they filled my lock with some sort of glue or putty. The custodian fixed it to the point where I can unlock it with my key but it jams which is especially fun when I have my arms full with heavy stuff.

Claire ~ I was thinking of going over the weight loss thread too. I was waiting for a new month to start. Let's go together!

__________________

Ok, Ok, Ok.....Darnit, Steph, I was afraid you'd see that! LOL Thank you for the supportive kick in the butt! Ok, Mel.....I'm gonna venture over there, don't leave me hangin!

Bina~ Thanks. I guess I just thought no one would who had never been bigger than a size 10 would understand what it's like to be a 20. But you are right!

Mel~ I'm so sorry things are so crappy over there. I wish I could wipe the floor with a few sauntering teenage boys! What's up with the swastika nonsense? I thought you were in CA, not Mississippi. (I apologize in advance to any southerners who may take offense) Yep, I think you are done at that place. I really hope you find something better.....as my father(and boss) said: how can my daughter concieve if she's all stressed!

Irene~ Yay! I'm not alone.....can we start a "non-scrapper" club? LOL!!!

Lindy~ Girl, waiting to hear about those results......

So, DH survived the s/a! He had to whine about how awkward it was...waaa waaa. But I guess they let him look in the microscope! The guy told DH that they swim real fast and there's plenty of them. (this of course drives me nuts, b/c I want NUMBERS, darnit!) But they said that was only 80% of what they need to know, so I guess they'll fax us the other 20% by friday. DH was so cute, he said "all they do is swim around in a circle!" I said, well what do you expect, you ARE a nascar fan!

Ok, I'm going to go introduce myself to the weight-loss thread now

Hi girls...can't believe we're into May already!! Where does the time go? And where the heck is my BFP? Do you think maybe it's lost somewhere and just can't find me? Let's hope that May will turn out to be a lucky month for all of us...here's to lots of BFPs for everybody!

Irene- LOL about the "district attorney of love" comment! Hee hee...oh and don't go spending your money on the OV watch just yet. I've used it for 4 cycles and had no luck yet...and I'm a regular cycle girl.

Mel/Claire- wait for me....I wanna go with y'all to the weight loss thread! Lord knows I need some MAJOR motivation! I've actually been thinking about the lapband a lot lately. It just doesn't exactly go well with TTC...kwim?

Deanna- sorry you're feeling down lately...<<<hugs>>>

Lindy- yikes about the diabetes scare! Hope you get some good news at the Dr.

Bina- glad everything is looking good!!

Hi to everyone else!

:w ahs:

Well, that is all I can say about the crappy day I have had. Ok so the lady told me over the phone that my hemoglobin was 6.0. So I looked it up online, and for a hemoglobin level to be a 6.0 you are practically dead, and have to be hospitalized to fix it. Well, if you LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I marched my fat butt up to them and demanded the results paperwork and had the nurse explain it to me again. She then showed me that the hemoglobin was the A1c Hemoglobin in english it means a fancy glucose test. Which I think is odd bc when you are pg your glucose test is some nast Sh%% and it makes you want to vomit uncontrollably. Any who, a 6.0 hemoglobin A1c is in english fat girl you are a diabetic. Which is caused by uncontrollable eating habits, being fat and lazy, don't drink enough unsweetened drinks kinda crap. So, yes I am a freakin diabetic. If that wasn't enough DH and I have to not BD the rest of the week so WE DON'T GET PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we are on a TTC break to make me skinny and diabetic free. Oh, so now I have to diet, exercise, and no more soda. Other than that I am just peachy.
Oh, and just to say screw diabetes I went to McDonalds and had a double quarter pounder meal large sized and two giant DP's.

Mel- Oh, I am praying that you find a way better place than where you are at now. I can't believe they allow those things to happen.

Claire- ROFLMAO- you crack me up. I love how DH sperm swim in circles bc he is a Nascar fan! I am glad he was able to see his manhood under the scope. I hope you get the s/a results soon so you know about his swimmers abilities. Oh, and I will be joining the WL group tonight. I have always been a 12. Then a 16, and now an 18 but should be bigger but refuse to go that far. Denial I guess. We need to be WL buddies!

Ashley-I know where do they get their degrees? I was so scared I would be put in the hospital and die. Then I was relieved it was only diabetes. Now I am just pissed off. It really sucks. THough, it gives me the incentive to make sure that I am not going to be the fat girl anymore.


Irene- I signed a form that said they could release the information to me over the phone as long as they verified my ss# and DOB and maiden name. I did only talk to the nurse again but I have my own personal nurse I talked to tonight. My grandma is a RN so she told me what to look for online and what to do if I can't do it on my own.

I am sorry if I didn't respond to anyone else, I am just exhausted after all of this today. It makes it worse that we can't TTC until I get this under control. I didn't want to stop. Oh well, I need to be healthy before I get PG and risk my life and a baby's life. So, I guess it is a blessing in disguise.

Irene, I sure hope that his do... Thats kinda what we're counting on. I'm getting ready to op test again, but I know that it's porb going to be -. So I guess tonights just for fun. Not to mention that I just got called for subbing, so I'll have to get up early which means a semi- early night tonight!

Claire, Glad to hear that the first 80% is doing well... and nice come back with the Nascar comment! Thats great! Good luck on your wt loss journey. I give you girlies credit! I started ww a few months ago and quit after the first week. I guess I fall into that category of people who others don't think should be dieting bc i'm not overly over wt... but then like Steph said, I'm also not comfy with who I am right now. Needless to say I felt terribly uncomfortable at the meeting. Like everyone was staring at me wondering y exactly I was there... It's an awarkward situation from both sides of the fence I think?? I wish you and Mel and Becky the best of luck!!! I'm rooting for ya's!!! Keep us informed of your progress!

Oh well off to bed... I'll post again tomo morning if I get a chance, or after I get out of school... Wish me Luck!!!
