Times like this life seems so unfair, Steph, sorry you even have to deal with it. Sickening!

Mel thinking of you.

Y'all have echoed my sentiments exactly. It's sick. Just sick and sickening.

And Jenna, you couldn't have put it more perfectly. I'm sorry I know this person too.

Steph- God that is disgusting. I have to know, though. What does the tatoo say? BC I can't imagine it saying "angel in heaven" or anything.

Oh, and I think I need her address........my trigger finger is feeling a bit itchy lately.................

Missy- Thinking good thoughts for you! It's good to hear from someone who knows what I mean about those Northern men.

Karyn- that really is awsome that things are going well for you after the lupron.

Lauren, are you okay?

Claire I couldn't agree more, someone needs to put her out of her misery. I am scared to find out what the tatoo says myself.

Lauren- I agree with you. But I also second Em- Everything OK?

Lisa- . I was just hoping the tatoo was across her forehead and was descriptive of the type of person she is.

I don't know. Neither one of us wanted to know that much about it. By the time it got to me it was at least third hand information, maybe fourth hand.

Lauren ~ You'll have that baby in your arms. I swear it. I know (as much as I could) things like this hurt especially. I love you.

Steph - all I can say is "wow". What a sad situation - I can't imagine being in your position right now! I agree with Claire - I am curious as to what she would have written or what kind of a picture she would get - what a sorry individual.

Lauren - *hugs*

Deanna - did your friend hear anything yet from the bloodwork? 11 days seems a little early to me. Do you know if she has ever had a laperoscopy for the endo? That is what is causing my infertility problems, and my dr. said she will let me do only one more round of IUI before having another laperoscopy to clear everything up again - then I would be most fertile (but would have to take another month off of trying).

I somehow missed what happened to Mel - can somebody fill me in?

Well, FUS went okay today - I think good? I have one follicle at 19.1 and the other at 15.4. The nurse said tomorrow I need to go back for bloodwork and for another FUS. The goal is that the one that is 15 will get big enough (over 16 she said is the goal) and the other one can get bigger too (I think less than 23 is the goal). So, I go back tomorrow, then hcg tomorrow afternoon, then insemination Thursday afternoon or Friday am...

Missy - yay for 2 follies! It sounds like everything is progressing fine. Mel had a hysteroscopy today and she was pretty nervous about it because she had a really bad experience with the HSG.

Steph- Reading that made my stomach churn! Don't worry.... she will answer for it one day.

Lauren- *HUGS* You know we love you sweetie!

Missy- YAY for 2 follies!! I bet you'll be ready by tomorrow. They do continue to grow until they release the egg... so I bet it will def be ready by Thurs/Fri. If you trigger tomorrow night they'll probably want you back on Friday am for the IUI.

Thanks girls for your sweet words. I am ok. Just *trying* to get through this cycle, and praying for good results. I read up on you girls all the time, even when I don't post. I have had 2 days of Lupron, and so far all is good with the meds.
((((GROUP HUG))))

Rebecca - Yeah for $$ massages! How did it go? Were they hour long ones? I bet you did great!

Deanna - Most resorts have purified water, DH brushed his teeth with the bottled water in the fridge because he was paranoid of getting sick! I think Emily is right it's more the food than the water. Out of the 3 times we've been to Mexico, we both had some issues a few times but not really when we got home. I'm sure it will pass soon........literally Great pictures too! I love Mexico, I'm trying to convince DH to go somewhere else like Aruba.

Lisa - My Strawberries are growing & spreading....finally! I haven't seen any ants yet either.

Steph - Uggh. I'm so sorry that you have to know that person. Thankfully when you move to Florida, you will be even farther from her. Everyone is right, she will get hers eventually.

Melissa - Sorry the procedure was uncomfortable yesterday but I'm glad to hear Cap'n was right by your side. I'm excited about the IUI/Comid!

Emily - As soon as you mentioned your brother, I immediately wondered if that was the one in the pic that you posted! Did all your girlfriends have a crush on your tall, strapping brother? AF show yet?

Claire - The only thing Lupron left behind was a low-sex drive

Missy - Good luck today with the Bloodwork & FUS!

My niece's baptism is Sunday. I am not looking forward to seeing 'extended' family & getting bombarded with 'when are you going to have kids? It never fails, whenever I'm holding one of the kids, I have to hear that.

Karyn -it went well. One of the appointments rescheduled for another day, so I only had one to do last night, but it was good. He said it was probably the best massage he's ever had.

Karyn - you know what's funny? My brother was a fat, round, little shrimp until about the 11th grade. I had already moved away to college by then! I think he grew an entire foot in one year. Women sure do love him though. Every time we're out together without his wife, I have to remind him to STOP FLIRTING!

The best thing about that picture is that it was 10 am on Xmas morning and about 5 degrees outside. My mom, who never puts her foot down about anything, told my brother that if he wanted bacon, he was going to have to cook it outside because all the bacon smoke and smell would ruin her Xmas morning brunch Yes, my bro wanted bacon THAT BAD!!

Still no damn AF. I tested again, and another BFN. UGH! I must have either not ovulated, or ovulated really late. CD35. I'm tired of having sex! I keep thinking we need to get a good BD in before AF starts so DH doesn't get neglected, but she never starts!

Emily~LOL about cooking the bacon outside.

Karyn~I hear you on the bombardment of questions. Our family knows what's going on, but it's the people who we don't see that often that ask us.

Lauren~I hope things continue to go well for you!

Steph~I'm so sorry about this girl

I decided I needed to start posting over here too. We're getting closer to starting our ivf cycle and I can already tell I'm going to need support. We are only going to do one cycle so that we have money left for adoption if needed, and I'm nervous about this being our one and only chance.
