I just have to say that Hotmail is a crap shoot! Some times it works, most often it doesn't! Grrr!
Anyways...LOL Rachael- He's so precious!! Put him in the sink and go pee. LOL I kid I kid. Although my brother and his wife used to do that with their oldest when she was a baby so they could take a shower together. LOL. Silly people. She was so small and didn't move and yes they protected her little melon from the faucet! LOL

First, let me thank y'all again for coming to the rescue with your opinions. It truly has helped put things in perspective. I had to go for a 2 mile run to further clear my head and I am sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow since I haven't worked out since October!!
The main reason I want to stop the bcps (besides "trying", which I now won't thanks to your wisdom) is that I want my body to get back to normal. I already did one round of bcps and if this is no longer part of a prep cycle for ivf or iui, then what's the point. Pretty sure it's not for endo. I talked to my nurse and they're going to get back to me...waiting does suck! Ok, so I'm still working the catching up part... Susan - I am so incredibly sorry you lost one of your little beans. Ronni - I hope Denver yields some awesome prospects. Fingers crossed for you, my closest neighbor. Alana - My heart aches for you. I can feel your angst thru your posts. I am praying hard that you get your miracle. Rach - That is one good lookin' family!! Congrats, again. Jen - I am all about the acupuncture in general. Sticky vibes for you. Since I'm still learning names, whoever is starting Lupron, best of luck. I had to do those in my thigh and hated them the most. I'll do a belly shot any day over the Lupron, but it's not bad at all and I'm wimpy. Ok, I'm going back to reading - it may take me a couple of days to fully catch up!! Ok, back to reading & catching up and checking Monster for jobs.

Lisa thanks for the kind words hun.
 This really is turning out to be a roller-coaster of emotions. While its been hugely disapointing each time a m/c has happened...I've met some amazing friends on this journey making it worth while in the end. Heidi...you with a fat roll?? I doubt it!! Rachael...omg Aiden is so gosh darn cute I just can't wait to meet him!! What a darling. Jen, Amy and gang, my next beta will be either tomorrow or Saturday depending on when we can get there. (my clinic moved further away...very annoying) I think we will be doing them every 2-3 days anyway regardless of the outcome as RE wants as much info as possible. So thats good I guess. (I have to get up so early to go each time though it can be a bit tiring). Do any of you girls go to clinics that are a bit of a drive away?

Rachel, that is a bummer about the mini naps. He is aorable though. I love the snowy pic!
Lisa, the reason they put me on bcp after my m/c was to kinda force regulate my body so I would be ready for a cycle sooner. Have you asked your Dr. about the best way to do a natural cycle? AMy, way to go! one day closer to that bfp! How sweet for your friend! Maybe some sexy white panties, candles, chocolates.....?

Lisa, my ob-gyn thought I should go on bcp after the m/c, but I didnt want to. Just wanted to get everything out of my system. That being said, bcp may regulate you quicker.
Now back to the silly stuff. Okay, just to clarify... the roll is when I'm pinching or sitting. No bikinis for me. In standing position, I look 5 months pregnant. After DD there is no elasticity anymore. I guess a few situps would have helped.
