Dh had to explain everything the dr said to me again after surgery. Apparently, I didn't understand fully. My tube isn't blocked or anything, which I knew. When my ovary releases the egg, she doesn't my tube has the mobility to push the egg down through the tube. Now how in the heck can she tell that?!

And to top off this lovely freaking Monday....my friend who has been trying since July. Sent out a mass text with a pic of a shirt that says "I'm going to be a big sister" that she gave to her 2 year old for her bday! She is 5-6 weeks pregnant she said and due sometime in July. She knows I have been trying to get pregnant and everything i've done. Now why in the he$$ would seh send me that text? I would've appreicated a face to face or a personalized text. I started crying once I got that. As I sit here at my desk dwelling over my left tube and what could happen and what isn't going to happen. Dh and I are leaving work early! Going home to BD

__________________

Deanna - Yeah for OPK!!!! Your doctor thinks only the left tube doesn't have the mobility? Hmm, maybe you could call and talk to a nurse and get the full notes from the surgery so you understand for sure. My RE gave me copies of all the notes. There is one specific paper that has a picture of the reproductive organs and below has every organ listed and what shape they were in/what he found. Very descriptive.

Irene - I'm so glad your dinner was great! I hope you have pics to share! POSITIVE thoughts about the beta! Remember all the girls who swore AF was coming before they got their +. LOL about the X-mas cookies! We always do them early and freeze them. That way I can pull some out for Thanksgiving too.

Well I am going to be O'ing from the right side . It just sucks that I don't know about that tube. I didn't ask about the HSG, normally as soon as they know something, they call. I would have to wait until next cycle anyway.

Karyn~Thats a good idea. I wonder if my dr took notes and stuff that I could read what she said. She said my left tube is stuck to my bowel My bowel was inflammed during surgery I guess. I probably IBS cause my mom and sister both do. So i'm trying to take a herb daily to help with that. I also drink that stuff the night before surgery and never went to the RR. So I keep telling myself maybe it was inflammed cause of that and not going. IDK you're o'ing from the right and I am from the left....can we trade???

Why does my FF say -1 DPO??? I've never seen this before anyone know

Deanna - Maybe FF is having some technical issues. When I look at your chart, it has a red line off to the right where tomorrow's temp should be. Did you enter an override??

Hi girls! Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. This month seems to be just flying by...I've already got xmas on the brain and have started my list. I think it grows longer every year...so many people to buy for! But I'm really looking forward to decorating!

Karyn- that's a great idea about the christmas cookies...you're so clever!

Deanna- hope you catch that eggie!

Irene- glad you had fun with Mel...sure wish we all could have been there. Show us some pics! My DH and I will tag along when you plan your trip to Cali!

Hi everybody!!

Hi everyone! Everything is going ok for me. I've started stims. So far everything is going ok. I just hope it continues like this.

Becky~I've got a lot of people to buy for too, but I managed to get most of the gifts over the summer. That's good, since money is tight now, after paying for the ivf.

Deanna~I saw the same thing that Rebecca saw. I wonder what's up with it? I'm sorry about the baby email.

Irene/Mel~I'm glad you had a good time! I can't wait to see pictures!

Karyn~That's good about the cookies. I've tried making them ahead and freezing them, but dh and I just ended up eating a bunch of frozen cookies One here, one there, and the next thing I know, I don't have any more cookies when it's only the beginning of December

Good morning, goils! Writing from JFK airport

We had an awesome time in NYC! We're already talking about when to come back again. Dinner with Irene and Mike was super fun! Irene is so pretty and Mike is the nicest guy! I felt like a total lush, I had a little too much to drink and therefore was shooting off at the mouth. But with the on and off cramping and the spotting that officially started yesterday, it is safe to say that AF is on her way. Anyway, I will post some pictures when I get home in the next 7 or 8 hours.

Irene ~ Do not even worry about getting me anything!!! It was just so awesome to meet a kindred spirt Beta yet???

Rebecca ~ Get anything good at the mall?

Deanna ~ Umm...have fun shooting your gun?

Karyn ~ Christmas cookies already??? I was telling Irene again about how much I love celebrating the now. What about Thanksgiving, girl???

Melissa - I did!! Went to NY&Co. I had coupons to use - saved 50% by the time it was all said and done. I got a cute top and wrap to wear to a benefit dinner this coming weekend. Then I went to VS to use my Angel Rewards. THEN I went to Penney's. They were having a big sale and got dh some stuff for Christmas. Their Levi's were buy on get one 1/2 off and their Steeler's wear was all marked down. He's been wanting a jersey. I have to go get my hair cut/colored in a hour. For having a day off, I sure have been working hard!

Rebecca - sounds like you had a really full day! I hope you're having fun getting your hair done - I always love that pampering! I see Mel already posted about the pics - luckily she took a few since I spazzed out on bringing my camera!

Mel - there you go again being sweet and calling me pretty I was boozing it up too - I guess we were both feeling pretty sure that this month was not meant to be!

Deana - glad you enjoyed your day off too. Yay for Oing - looks like you had really good timing

JJ - I'm glad to hear that things are going smoothly with the stims!

Becky - wow you are early with your shopping! I am the worst procrastinator!! That would be awesome if you came along to CA

AFM, I didn't bother going for the beta - why waste the $25 when I knew it would be negative? And I was pretty sure that AF was on the way and I would have a definite answer soon - I just wiped red so there it is. I have to call in the morning to go in for b/w and u/s. It really sucks that I must have Oed b4 doing the trigger - my largest follie was 18 so I assume that I probably only released 1 and we didn't even get the timing right for a chance at that one I'm going to ask him if I should use OPKs this month.

__________________

Irene - By your temps, looks like you had good bd prior to O. I would think that O was only a day earlier.

I got a lot more hair cut off - enough that Tom had to use a razor on the back It feels good, though. Oh and I had a few glasses of wine over there, too. I think I needed that.

Ok Ladies! Not sure if you'll remember my situation or not, but here's the history. I have had 1 miscarriage (with D&C), 1 live birth and now have just completed my 3rd miscarriage in a row(all passed naturally) after the birth of my son in 2005. I have had all three miscarriages in the course of one year. I have done all the blood tests, hysterosalpingogram (sp?) and they have all come back normal. For this last preg. I was put on vag progesterone twice a day and a baby aspirin. At 6 weeks, saw fetal pole and yolk sak, but no heartbeat. At 9 weeks baby hadn't grown and miscarriage followed. I met with my doc and she set up an appointment with the RE for next month. I have a friend that does core synchronism so I will be starting that on Thursday. However, here's my question. Do any of you have any advice, ect? What should I expect from the RE? What should I ask? Just in general, what next? Any advice woud be appreciated. I am trying to stay optimistic, but that light is slowly fading away.

Thanks!

Scout - It's good to hear from you, I just wish it was under better circumstances. Hopefully, your RE will go over all of your testing and possibly suggest more testing to see what might be causing your m/c. Have you been tested for clotting disorders??
