Rebecca~Good luck today! I'll be thinking about you

Claire~I'd probably like the AK-47 then. I love shooting the AR-15 and shotgun...well sometimes. I hate slugs cause my shoulder is always bruised when i'm done doing only 5 rounds! We have to qualify with shotgun from 50ft...not to difficult. The only gun I have is my Glock and I love it!

Melissa~You have such great ideas for costumes! I love the deviled egg one. That is cute! I am not very creative. My friends and I are all dressing up like mechanics. We have one piece overhauls and we're wearing trucker hats. I might wear my FIL's workboots lol. At least i'll be warm! My NKOTB concert is Saturday night up in Detroit. I think its at 8....i'll have to take pics. Hope all my major pains are gone by then!

Mary~I have a very hard time at saying no too! Especially my sister! My mom is a littler whacked in the head and makes my sister pay for everything and she's only 17! She's in this parade on Sunday that her school is in and really wanted to go, so I couldn't let her down. She's a huge drama queen too...the last thing I need is the school nurse calling me to come get my sister cause she's all sad! We'll have to work on saying "no" lol

Hope everyone has a good day! I'm better today about my dog. I miss her greatly and i'm trying not to blame myself. Ohhhhhhh I forgot to tell you! My Lab has this oversized thing growing on the back of his neck that we found yesterday! Sunday I was outside with him and I thought he was getting fat above his collar. I felt it, but it wasn't hard or anything, thought it was fat. Well, its not. I think he has an infection. He's going to the vet today at 3pm and I have to start my bowel prep at noon!

Deanna- It is NOT your fault!!! I know how you feel, though. What did they give you for your bowel prep? I just had to drink a whole bottle of that reddish soda laxative- blech! Good luck tomorrow, I'll be thinking good calm thoughts for you. You'll be so happy when it's over.

Mary- I love your new avatar!

Mel- You crack me up "black eyed peas" LOL

Rebecca- Good luck today!!!!!! I'm thinking about you

Rebecca ~ Good luck today, I'll be thinking of you!!!

I'm trying so hard not to keep crying and I'm so F*ing pissed right now! I just checked my voicemail and one of the RE nurses called and said that they only got one page of fax of Cap'ns b/w and none of the tests that they require are on there! I just have this sinking feeling that all the tests are not there and we will be delayed again. I can't go home and cry about it either b/ FIL is visiting this weekend! I have texted Cap'n that I need him to copy the b/w and then I'm going to cut out the pertinent tests onto one sheet to fax if it is all there. Three F*ing months we have pushed back the IUI, I don't want to keep doing this!

Mel - I hope Cap'n get the results there soon, and everything will get back on track.

Ok I need some advice. I was just in a production run, and I over heard a co-worker talking to another co-worker talking about getting a dog, well she's been talking about getting a dog for about three years, although I was not in the conversation, I jokinly said "you not going to get a dog" (I'm pretty sarcastic, if you haven't noticed) she replied back "well you not going to get a baby" I did my best to hold my tears back. But I really want to explain to her how hurtful that was.

Was I in the wrong? Should I have just minded my own?

Mary~OMFG! I would've went off on her! Who in their right mind says that to someone. Cause i'm assuming you guys just work together....not friends or talk about personal things. Thats not even a come back and you were just being funny. Cause she's said she's getting a dog for 3 years. I can't believe she'd say that That makes me mad!

I just got done working out and I drank that stuff to go to the RR. Nothing is happening yet! It better kick in. I was supposed to start it at noon...lol just drank some. I'm not backed up though. I won't bug you guys with my lap after tomorrow since its over tomorrow!

Melissa - I hope you get all of the papers that you need. I'm still kinda confused why they need all of that for your IUI. My dh didn't give one drop of blood.

Deanna - You can't blame yourself. I always did the same thing when we lost Bailey. I'd think back and say well, if I did this or if I did that. Hindsight is always 20/20. You did what you thought was right at the time. It was just her time to cross that bridge. I'm sure Bailey was there waiting for her, too. What did the vet say about your lab?? I hope it's just fatty tissue.

good luck tomorrow. I hope you're not up all night in the bathroom, though.

Mary - Wow. That was just downright rude. I think if someone had said something like that to me I would have been too shocked to reply. I probably would have busted into tears, though. I'm glad your mom is being more 'bearable'.

Heidi - Thanks for checking on me!

Deanna - just wanted to pop in and wish you luck for tomorrow!

Mary - wow. What a horrible and thoughtless thing for your co-worker to say to you! What could you say? That is something I would probably just sit with my jaw dropped on! Totally not okay for her to say that.

Hi everyone. I went to my 2nd NKOTB concert last night. It was good, but not as good as the one at the beginning of October. THEY were really good and put on a good show, but it was the couple I went with that made the night not as fun. They just had a baby and the husband made SEVERAL comments that someone who lost a child and who has IF doesn't want or need to hear. It was downright cruel. Trying to keep myself composed put a damper on the evening. I kept thinking about that. Now I remember why I haven't seen them since last Christmas. URGGHHHH!!!!! I would love to go to the show in Chicago tomorrow night, alone, just to get last night out of my mind. (Thanks for letting me vent!!!)

Rebecca~I'm glad to hear that everything went well today. How are you feeling? And side effects?

Deanna~I'm so sorry about your dog. It's not your fault though, like Rebecca said, it was just his time. It's so hard to lose a pet who was part of the family.
When I had to drink the stuff, I thought the same thing about it not working. And then it all came. Yuck! Good luck tomorrow!

Mary~I can't believe she said that to you. How RUDE!!! Maybe she knows the people I was with last night and got some pointers from them.
I'm taking Lupron. So far it's not so bad. I had a hot flash during the concert last night, which I thought was amusing. I'm at an NKOTB concert, having hot flashes. It's making me weepy though I think. They had one part of the concert, with things on the screen (I don't want to say what in case Mel and Deanna want to be surprised). Anyway, I knew what was coming, but this time it made me teary eyed, and at the first show it didn't. I've had other bouts of wanting to cry too.

Mel~That has got to be frustrating. I can't believe it's been such a hassle to get the paperwork through.


Well, I see this is becoming a novel, so I should post it!!

Hi girls! So glad tomorrow is Friday!! This has been the longest week ever!! I need a break!! And if I hear of one more person who's "oops PG accidently"...I think I'm gonna scream!!! I know that everything happens for a reason and I'm trying my best to be patient and wait my turn, but this is just getting ridiculous!

Mel- so wish we lived closer....I LOVE dressing up for Halloween!! We normally go to a kicka$$ party every year. Those sound like great costumes! Take a pic so we can see you as a witch!

Rac- glad everything went well today!!

Deanna- good luck tomorrow! KUP!

Irene- hi...glad you had a good trip! Will you post some pics? When do you start your injectables?

JJ- hi...sorry your concert wasn't as much fun as the first one. I'm trying to think of a good sentence I might say to those who are insensitive about IF or are too nosy for their own good. Something that would put people in their place when they make ignorant comments or ask that all too familiar question..."so when are y'all gonna have kids?"

Mary- unbelievable...I think if someone said that to me I would be speechless and then break down in tears.

Hi to everyone else!

Lisa- if you're out there...please let us know how you are!

Hi girls thanks for letting me vent this morning. Well, I tried to get Cap'n to copy the b/w but wouldn't you know it? He left them at home. So when I got home tonight, I took a look at the b/w. For those of you who were asking why doesn Cap'n need to give b/w, it is required by the state. He needs to have HIV, all the hepatitises, HTLV-1, and syphilis. So I look at the b/w and everything is on there besides syphilis. I did read though that an IUI can occur if all the tests but HIV and one other, I forget are positive with the woman's consent. I have to call the RE nurse and find out if not having one of those tests will stop the IUI. And if it does, who knows how long it will be before Cap'n gets that in, I might as well quit while I'm ahead.

Mary ~ That really sucks what your coworker said to you. If that happened to me, I might have told her to F* off F*ing BIATCH! Can you tell I have a potty mouth on me today?

JJ ~ Thanks for thinking of me and not ruining the NKOTB surprise I'm sorry you had a not-so-good time at the concert last night, erg.

Deanna ~ Good luck tomorrow!

Okay, off to watch Survivor!

Thanks everyone. I really didn't know what to say. Other than "Jackie, completely different deal there, don't ya think?" And the really sad part, is she knows about my IF, I must seem pretty tough at work. Or she is just really stupid. DH was pretty upset about it too, and that after the production run she didn't even apoligize. And I would of said something to her yesterday about how hurtful it was, but I would of lost it, and I was already holding back tears. I'm sure I'll mention something to her on Monday about it. It just really pisses me off though, because I was feeling good about a plan and maybe possible Clomid soon. Then it was like slap in the face, that might not work either.

JJ - DH and I have stayed away from several couples like that. Complaining about how much work it is, and time. You just want to hit them upside the head! I'm going to look up Lupron later.

Deanna - Good luck today, I hope everything goes well, with minimal pain. And that's really sweet about what you do for your sister. She's lucky to have you!

Mel - Yeah, your Halloween costumes rock, too cute! I was once "There's something about Mary" that's the best one I got. I guess that make sense about cap'n b/w, crossing my fingers that it works out for next month.

Silly question here, so injectables, with IUI or just timed BD? Irene? JJ?

Rac - How are you feeling today?

Rebecca - Hope your doing good today! Are you at work?

Deanna - Good luck today! You're going to do great!

Mary - Screw her! How freakin rude! There is a difference between being sarcastic and being rude! I wouldn't share any more info about IF with her.

Melissa - I hope your still able to go ahead with the IUI. In our paperwork from the RE, it does say that DH has to have certain tests done before we were to move onto IUI, etc.

Becky - Sorry you have a lot of "Oops" news going on. I wish we knew people that had awesome Halloween parties! Looks like we will be doing a big fat nothing. It has rained quite a bit here and they haven't done much combining so I'm sure they will be doing it next weekend. Maybe I could gather some girls to go out.

JJ - You too? What is it with rude people and their comments lately? Sorry that happened at the concert.

I have already told DH that since BIL and his wife are visiting for a week (they arrived today) if she even says anything to make me mad, I am telling her to F off.

Hi girls. I'm feeling pretty good today. My spotting has just about stopped already. I must be a fast healer! I decided to stay home today - because I can.
