Got to go to bed over here ladies... I promise to post some pictures tomorrow for everyone to say hi to their online nephew. Afterall, ya'll will remember the appt more than any of his "real" aunts

[Shellyhume]

Thank you Rachael... and everybody else... I was uber blue last night... note to self... don't stay up late, hungry, stressed, and tired while on BCPs. they're doing a number on my psyche.

Anyways, good luck, Rachael with the perinatologist (did I get that right?). Hugs, Ronni, and praying the spotting stops and if it doesn't I'm praying double time for your spirit. We love you, sweetie. Jen, I haven't worn overalls since I was in grade school... and I'm actually very jealous you got some... post pictures, okay? Seriously. And I agree with you, Heidi should bring Stella... we all really wanna meet our cyber neice, too! Alana, have fun and relax this weekend... well, LONG weekend... We'll miss you here in forum therapy.

Off to the lab (not the science kind, though... the one with four walls of teaching materials and resources... joy.) for the day... if anybody catches me on the forum before 8 pm, yell at me, okay? I don't belong online unless I'm researching something for my lessons. And that's final. Lovies!

[hopeful2bmom]

Sorry I missed the party last night! i just had to read through three pages!

Rachael- I think Tell Me You Love Me was a reapeat of the second episode... Yes- that movie is with greg kinear and selma blair.

Looks like you girls had fun last night.
Alana- We are going to miss you so much!!!

Earth to Shawna?????

jen- it is not the trigger.

ronni- spotting can be good. hang in there. I just know that these present and upcoming cycles are going to be the ones for all of us!
Rachael- good luck with the appointment and post pics asap for all of us aunties!!
Shelly- I had a "friend" like yours and she is no longer my friend. She tenxted me a picture of her first ultrasound the day that i had a miscarriage. At frist it did not come through and I asked her what it was. She texted me bk saying "I'm pregnant and it's my first u/s"!!! WTF??
I called her a really bad name since she was on the phone with me earlier in th day at the RE's office when I was miscarrying. Some people are just very socially dumb and plain rude. I am sorry that you are having to go through that.

i am off to the RE!!! Our counseling appointment is after the RE. I don't know if that is a bad thing or not. Hopefully one or both of the appointments turn out ok.

[goob07]

Good luck today Susan! I hope you walk out of both appointments feeling great! So proud of you and DH for doing the counseling. I think that's fabulous.

Martie - I can't believe your FET is already tomorrow! How exciting. We look forward to your report!

Grits - You're right behind Martie with your big day on Saturday...I'll be thinking of you!!!

Jen - I want a picture of you in those overalls! I bet they're adorable on you and you look even younger when you wear them with your perky ponytail!

Shelly - I'm mad at your "friend". She sounds like a spoiled, incosiderate brat. Very immature. Move on - she's not worth it.

Alana - Don't worry about us while you're off enjoying your time away. You and DH deserve it and we'll be right here waiting when you get back. Hopefully we'll all have some good news to share in one form or another!

Rachael - Thanks for the PMs and all your positive thoughts. I'm trying to stay upbeat. I really am.

I had the same type of reddish/pink discharge after showering this morning. I didn't POAS today because I just didn't want to get more upset - especially before having to come in to work. My eyes are already swollen a little from last night. I thought about calling my REs office to see if they'll let me beta early but I know they won't. They're sticklers about that sort of stuff and I'm not sure I even want to try. I can wait until Friday.

Thanks everyone for all your positive thoughts and support. This just plain sucks. But, I know I can get through it and I'll hold out hope that this IS my time!

[jencat215]

okay okay. I got DH to take a photo of me. This jumper is so nice and roomy!!! The jean jumper is in the wash.

OH, the smudge at the top right of the photo is DH's finger. Dummy!

Yes, I did piac this AM. Yes, it there is still a 2nd line, although I think a little lighter. WTF??? When does this trigger leave your system? It has been 10 days now!!!

[sunny72]

Ronni, that's good news that you're still just spotting. I think you're right not to POAS. I'm not either, I don't want the final answer just yet.

I'm feeling so gross and PMS'y today that I let DH and DD go off to the beach without me. It's probably the last beach day of the season and somewhat unseasonably hot. If AF was going to come raging, I don't wanna be at the beach. I really think I'm going to take some tylenol today - the pressure is pretty immense. Darn it.

[jencat215]

Hi Shawna!!!

I see you down there. I just stopped at home real quick for something, gotta go back to work.

I hope you are doing well. We missed you much!!!

[Angelwithhope]

Hey Ladies!!

Wow y'all have been so busy!! I'm soooo sorry for not updating y'all. I honesty thought I had, but I guess my brain in all this is every where.

I had my ultra sound and the u/s tech said that she didn't see anything and that everything looked just fine. So I am not sure, but I believe I will not need the D&C after all. The bleeding has let up A LOT and I'm hoping it will be done soon.

Thankfully my OB GYN is picking up the slack and we'll get this figured out.

Dh's interview didn't go well so we may not be moving closer to the clinic, which is good and bad...we'll wait and see.

Anyways, I'm so sorry again for not keeping y'all up to date. I'm doing just fine.

Hope everyone is well.I should be home by friday and I hope to catch up then...I think I have 40 pages or so to read!! WOw!! LOL.

Wishing you all the very best...I hope for positive news for you ladies in the 2ww.

Sorry again!! Talk to you all soon!

Aww thanks so much Jen!! I have missed all you ladies so much too!! I wish I have had more time in the last weekish...but my DH has been keeping me really busy.

If you have a minute click on this link. I was looking at it to reassure myself that I'm doing my PIO's in the right place. Scroll down and see the diagram of the woman and how long her crack is. Remember the nurse's comment to me, well that diagram makes me feel a lot better. I'm obviously easily offended.

Heidi - I vote to bring Stella to the reunion too! Afterall, I'm sure she likes mani pedis and we can buy some sparkling cider for her (and me) to drink! I hope the PMSing feelings are getting a little easier. I just looked at the long butt crack diagram. LOL. I remember we were told to split each butt check in half vertically and horizontally and then do the injection in the upper outside quarter.

Shelly - It's 6:51pm and I don't see you on here yet... way to behave over there and get "real" work done. Hope the rough hormones are a little better today.

Susan - How did all of your appts. go today? Maybe you and DH are bonding over dinner right now.

Jen - I love the overalls!! I was just in that store today and was thinking of you. You look adorable. I haven't owned overalls in years... you almost tempted me Oh, and the trigger is SO GONE!! I think you're in denial over there.

Ronni - We're here with you all the way... I'm glad the spotting hasn't picked up. Try some cool cucumber patches tonight on those eyes and watch some mindless tv.

Shawna - Glad to hear from you!

Martie - Good luck tomorrow!

My appt. with the perinatologist went well today. I'll venture to the other computer later and post some pics. Aiden wasn't cooperating too well with the pictures today. Guess he wasn't feeling very photogenic. But, he was very active. We saw him kicking, waving, sucking his thumb, grabbing his foot with his hand, even sticking his tongue out at us! He is still measuring over a week ahead and was 1lb. 12oz. today. The doctor is thrilled since this means Aiden is still getting enough nutrients even though the placenta isn't in the ideal nutrient rich portion of the uterus. Unfortunately, no movement in the placenta. It's still a full previa which means we're sticking with the current game plan. I still get 4-5 hours a day on my feet but with a new restriction - only do the stairs at my house twice a day! That will be a tough one. I'll go back in four weeks to reevaluate. If, I still haven't had any bleeding, then the perinatologist said he won't put me on automatic bedrest at the 28 marker. We're still scheduled for an amnio at 36 weeks and then the c-section the next day if the lungs are ready. But, being a typical man, Aiden is oblivous to all of this

[hopeful2bmom]

Hi All!!!
Jen- Love the jumper. Very cute. You are just so darn cute!

Shawna- WELCOME BACK! Glad to hear all is well.

Heidi- Remember PMS and early pregnancy symptoms are the same.

Jen- It's not the trigger...

Rachael- How exciting the u/s must have been. Your baby boy will be here so fast!!! Can't wait to see the pics. Was Tell me You Love Me a repeat???

As for me today. The appointment with the RE went very well. She did a complete genitic and chromasomal work-up on me. 15 vials of blood later... We left it as: We will do 1 more cycle with my own eggs using a completely different protocol. No Cetratide this time. She thinks that it damaged the quality of my eggs. So, we will do this cycle depending on how the genectic and chromosomal typing comes back. If not, on to donor.

The counseling appointment went well also. DH got slammed for the girl on the phone in the basement thing the other night. The therapist told him he was nuts and that I took it alot better then most wives would have. He said that DH needs to stop acting like he is single and pay more attention to this marriage and my needs (and OUR needs). he thinks of himself as an "I" and not a "we". So he has alot of work to do. I need to stop being so critical. So all in all the day went well and I made a terrible dinner that I lit on fire just before DH walked in. Ooops.
I am so tired. I must go now!
xoxox.

[jencat215]

Heidi- that IS a long crack! I am sure yours isn't as long!!!

Rachael- I don't think the trigger is gone yet, though thanks for thinking so! I have read that it can take up to 14 days for it to leave your system. With my luck it will just keep lingering to torture me. Really, I would like to see it negative for a day or 2, then give me a nice BFP...one can dream

Ronni-how are you holding up? Are you still spotting? No heavy bleeding, I hope!!!

Martie-the Big Day is tomorrow! So exciting!

Shawna- glad you checked in. Glad your u/s went well. I hope that bleeding totally stops for you soon!!!

Susan-how did your RE appt and counseling session go?

Shelly-I believe it is time for you to check in (after 8pm by you now!)

DH is making Leek and Potato soup! Yummy!!! He is in the kitchen, making soup and watching poker (why? he doesn't even play poker???). He claims he won't watch Criminal Minds with me cause that episode 2 weeks ago disturbed him too much. Wimp...

[jencat215]

Awww....thanks Susan.

It IS the trigger. I will bet you 10 piac cartridges that it is. Hell, make that 15.

[sunny72]

Jen, I think we would call those dungaree shorts where I come from? they look wicked comfy!

Ronni, thinking of you and hoping for the best.

Shawna, thanks for checking in.

Peachy, looking forward to the pics.

Martie, good luck!!

Susan thanks for your optimism. Unfortunately I have no other prego symptoms. No sore boobs, nausea, any of that good stuff. With the last two pregnancies I had really sore little B cups. This is just like my uterus has filled with concrete and set on fire.

So here I sit waiting for my $2K AF to start.
