Betsy- im so proud of you, i would have been a total wreck. IŽll be praying for you these two weeks.
rac- i checked out the midwife center, it looks really nice, i hope you find there the care that you deserve. emily- im sorry youŽre having a yucky day. I went for an u/s this morning, my RE wanted to see what my body was up to , on a non medicated cycle, so im on CD10, and i was expecting to see some follies growing, well , it was empty!!. Nothing... apparently my body does not want to ovulate, my lining was 5mm, which is really thin and not good at all. So for the first time, i cried at my RE's office. totally broke down, it isn't the fact thay my body is not cooperating, it was just the shock of it.. i totally did not expect it. So my RE reccomended to continue temping, maybe i'll O later in my cycle, and send him my chart in 10 days.

Betsy-Holy s^%$t girl. I can't believe you already did your IUI. Well sometimes having things be crazy/unexpected might be best. I will continue sending positive vibes and everything else your way. I'm definitely going to get those CDs done for you. If the weather isn't too bad tomorrow hopefully I'll get to the post office as well.
Karyn-Yahoo for showering. I had to wait for a day or two also. Can't stand it. Hope you continue to heal and feel better. Deanna-Don't feel bad I'm having a meltdown too (will explain in a minute). Doing fine and then wham you get hit with it. Don't feel bad we're all there with you. And I have to agree that it sounds like clomid is working well for you. Just keep in mind that it's helping and that if this isn't the cycle you're at least getting your body to do things better. Hang in there and I'm keeping everything crossed that this is it for you. Em-Yuck and sorry for the bad AF. But yahoo for seeing Juan soon and hopefully being able to move into the 2ww. Ok so here's my Debbie Downer......I've been doing so well (at least for the last week) with being positive after surgery and moving ahead again. I'm hanging out with my good friend after work who knows what we're going through. She tells me she has to tell me something and feels I need to know. Well you all know that means you're getting the someone is pg speech. Well she tells me another co-worker on our staff is pg. She's of course only been trying for a few months. Due in August, same as the other co-worker who told me the day I started AF after my medicated cycle was a bust. I would be due in August if our medicated cycle would have worked. I'm so pissed.....I now have 3 women on my staff pg. How am I ever going to get through the showers and putting on the happy face?! It really makes me wonder a few things.....why won't my body cooperate and are these signs that everyone else can get pg that may be this isn't meant for us? I'm so angry. I love my friend for telling me. She said she struggled all week about whether or not to tell me or let the co-worker. I told her she did the right thing.....I'll act surprised.....but this allows me to be prepared for it and I can have my breakdown in private. I can't believe the things we have to put our bodies through that these women apparently look at their husband and get pg. Not fair. Ok I'm done for now. Release and let it go right?

Betsy - I hope the unexpected day yesterday brings you a BFFP! (I put an extra F in there - you can use your imagination on what it stands for.)

Heidi~ * hugs * I know it is so hard, and it really does suck. Life isn't fair. It's not fair that I may have to use someone elses fertility to help me get pregnant with a child that will not even biologically be mine. I have 3 newly preggo friends too. Most days I deal with it ok, as long as I dont have to hear about it. Other days I breakdown at just the thought of it. I'm glad your friend told you. I hate when people tip-toe around me. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this my friend.
Bets~ Thinking about you!!! Karyn~ YAY for a shower  ~ Thanks about the picture!I go for another u/s tomorrow. I pray that something is growing in there. I have had some cramping, so hopefully that is good news. Hope everyone has a good Friday!!

Thanks Lauren-it just never fails that when it rains it pours pg women. I go through spurts where there's no one pg and then all at once it seems there's several that I have to learn to deal with. I'm the same that there are good days and bad. I just know that once this co-worker goes completely public with hers that's all I'm going to hear about with my staff for the next 6 months. I will be doing a lot of keeping my door shut to avoid it! I hope your u/s brings some growing follies!

Lauren~I hope you have good news after your u/s tomorrow. I LOVE your new avatar! Great pictures.
 Bets~Sorry you had such a stressful day with the IUI. I'm still sending you positive vibes. We passed the Gaylord Palms again going to Disney. Can't wait to meet in May. Rebecca~That's great that you are seeing another doctor. How is school going? Hi to everyone else

Heidi~Thanks for keeping everything crossed for me! Maybe this isn't my cycle and clomid is helping with things. I don't expect it to work the first time anyways. I just keep going back and fourth with asking to have the lap done. I would've had it 5 years ago but I was afraid of pain and I wasn't ready for kids. The only problem I get is in the lower part of my stomach it will cramp up, like I need to push something out. It doesn't have me over bawling or anything. But then I wonder if i'm really really constipated. I can't remember the last time I went!! Gross I know...sorry. You and Karyn give me courage to just go through with it....I can do it..right? I'm sorry you had a bad day too! I know what you mean with girls getting pregnant in a few months of trying. Its not fair! I just know that when it happens to us, we'll appreciate that baby more than anything and it will mean soooo much to us! Not that it doesn't to other women, but you know what I mean. At least we all have each other to vent to
 Lauren~I'll be thinking of you tomorrow I'll keep my fingers crossed!Karyn~Glad to see you posted some more info! I was wondering, but figured DH wouldn't let you on the computer..LOL. Like I said to Heidi, i'm thinking of just getting the lap done too. Is it really that bad? I'm more afraid of needles than the actual surgery!! I have never been under..scary thought! Hope everyone has a good Friday!! I have to work 12.5 hours and then 8 on Saturday. I'm not happy! But Saturday is my last day at my second job...woohoo!

Lauren - I hope the cramps are a good sign too!! Grow follies grow!! Good luck tomorrow
Christina - I must be retarded today, I looked at your avatar and i was like who's Crissy?? Melissa - Looks like we'll be CB's again. Rebecca - You know at first I was like WTF on the lab script but then I was like you know what that is kinda cool. They should do a test group and see if that affects the mental state of the patient. Deanna - 9 iui's!!!! Urg, didn't want to hear that. =( Karyn - That is just amazing everything they found. How is your DH with everything?? Mari - Was that just a randomn check your RE did? I'm so sorry nothing was going on...hopefully it's just too early. Heidi - yup - catch, and then release & let go. That royally sucks about the coworker. They are already making preperations for a shower for teeny bopper at my job. I guess cause her mom worked there for years and she's been there since she was like 16 everyone is making a big deal. I politiely declined to be a part of it. Despite all this positive juju I'm working up, I am not going to hide my lack of desire to celebrate a child she doesn't even want! So I'll probably be pegged with the coworker with the life crisis. And I am so okay with that. I'm shielding myself from any further reminders of my unsuccessful attempts. At resolve they had this quote which I thought was awesome "I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I don't have to march in it either". The other girl at work who m/c in November her AF is like 3 days left and she hasn't tested!!!!!!!!!!! I'm like urg....... don't even talk to me. She somehow things we have this "connection" because we both dislike teeny bopper....How do I explain that her 4 months does not compare to my 28. Kelly - Yup I got the extra F....love it. =) Tammi - Actually made the arrangements for the conference today, nothing yet on airflight or hotel. I have until April 18 to cancel depending on where I am at pregnancy wise. Right now would be perfect cause I would be out of the first trimester. Last night I meditated for an hour. Didnt even realize I'm usually done after 3 or 4 songs. But I stayed there until the CD finished which was 64 minutes. Slept like a baby. Although I am very very very bloated, it's really bad. And today lots of cramps. I don't understand why that happens, it's a teaspoon of liquid! If that. Emily - Thanks for saving my sanity today, I was convinced I didn't O, and ready to call the Dr and threaten to sue for forcing me to do an IUI yesterday. I thought of 3 more things to be grateful for yesterday. 1- Carlos didn't have to miss a day of work so he got paid, the original plan would have lost him a day. 2- HIV test was negative (still worry about those things) 3- There was at least one follicle (even though I would give my right lung for twins) Today I connected with an old High school "love" through Classmates...we talked on the phone for an hour and e-mailed back and forth all day. (I totally feel like I cheated on my husband today)  ANYWAY!!!! I hadn't talked to him in exactly 19 years. I had TOTALLY forgotten that we had a pregnancy scare right when I was graduating high school, I was over a week late. Even in my year book it says "thanks for the best & worst times of my life". He said it marked him to know in an instant his life could have changed. Apparently I was a bitch back then too cause I never told him I got my period. I graduated, left Brooklyn and moved on with my life. He said he saw me like 5 years later with a blonde haired little boy in the city (my nephew) he said he went home and vomited. But didn't know how do get a hold of me. (remember no internet back then). And he lived "tormented" for about 10 years not knowing if he had a child or not. He eventually ran across a mutual high school friend who told him that he was in the clear. It was just so bizarre to look back in time like that, my heart actually broke for him, how terrible not to know. And then at one point very late in the conversation, he asked "so you swear you didnt get an abortion" I swore to him I hadn't. Funny how life works, I barely remembered the incident and he's been carrying around that question for 20 years. He has a wife, a succesful real estate business in New York, 2 beautiful kids...thank God.

Betsy~My friends situation is far worse than most of everyones on here. The story she tells me on what the doctors did with trying to help her get pregnant is just mouth dropping. Its bad. She almost died with her 2 lap surgeries b/c when they went in they hit her bowel once and something else the other time. She has endo pretty bad. Her DH's count was only 1 million I believe. She's going to do the frozen embryo adoption though and I pray it sticks for her. Its a place out of Tennessee that she found. Seems promising for her!
I don't like the new fertility friend! It tells me fertile days which is nice, but I like to see my chart and I can't figure it out! It does have me testing on me birthday LOL. Still no spotting, but crampy feeling in my stomach. I'm taking this probiotic thats supposed to help me go. I've taken it for 4 days and NOTHING!!! ITS FRIDAY
