I haven't finished catching up with the day yet but I had to respond...
Ronni!!! Yay for your 3 implanted embabies!!! You get some great rest and get your DH to bring you some ice cream. If he doesn't, I may have to come down there Thursday-Sunday (teehee). Heidi-best of luck tomorrow. I can't wait to hear your great embaby report. Shelly-the test you will be doing involves using a transvaginal u/s probe instead of the x-rays. From what I read, the cramping is similar to the HSG. I wish you all the best with it!!! Hi Brenna- glad you are back. Boobs- I'd love to give some of mine back... I'm gonna finish reading. Then DH will come home. Then  . So I'll get back to you in 5 minutes (just kidding!!!)

Ronni- Okay, okay... as soon as DH comes home I'll jump him. He is expecting it.
Remind me about the Chili's thing the day before. I will definitely go. I saw that a week or 2 when I went there, but I had forgotten the date. Martie- so how does that work? What happens to those eggs you got growing now? Can those get fertilized too while you are doing FET? Alana- congrats on getting that appointment. I hope they can help you. Okay, my butt hurts, my ovaries hurt, and DH is home. I gotta go...

Sunny, I have my fingers crossed for a great thaw for you!
 And I will pray too! Rachel, I wish I was in your town for lunch too! It sounds yummy. Alana, my sister Alana only went to a lg B cup. And yes, they definitely go to crap after kids. I had mine done 2 months after my dd quit nursing at 1yr old. I went to a c, but lost weight after and now I am a B. I did not go bigger b/c while nursing I was a D and it seemed that people spent more time looking down then at my face while talking to me. Girls included!  And that is exciting news about the new clinic. Shelly, I just did that same procedure Sunday. It did not hurt a bit. My HSG hurt, but the saline thing did not even phase me. Goob, you are great. Thank you. And I will have my laptop with me in WA on the 28th, so I will be checking for your BFP!!  Martie, I had to LOL when you made the comment about the talking while wanding.......

Alana - I am so glad you found that wonderful doctor to see. I just know how relieved you'll feel after getting all the testing done. I only wish we could all be there to hold your hand on Friday
 But, I'm jealous of the weekend cabin retreat. Take pictures for us and hot tub away!Shelly - I did have the hysterosonogram for exactly the same reasons.... to check for any possible endo adhesions in my uterus. Unfortunately, my RE saw a "shadow" which he thought was a large fibroid covering a good portion of my uterus. I was devastated b/c I had never had endo inside my uterus. Anyway, I did lap #4 and it turned out the "shadow" was nothing. Oh well. It added about 8 weeks to the ordeal to get the surgery scheduled, then recover for a month, go back to the RE for a checkup, and then wait for my next AF to start the cycle. I was disappointed but it all worked at the end. And no, the procedure didn't involve more than about 10 seconds of pain and that was only for the insertion of the cathater. Ronni - I'll try to convince someone to go to Chili's for the good cause. I'm a fan of their Chicken Fajita Pita. I have a little bit of bad news for your 20 yr. reunion. Since you WILL be pregnant, got to tell you tonic is on the no list. Has quanine (sp?) so you'll have to stick to Cranberry and OJ to look legitimate and still taste decent. Hope you're reading this over ice cream! Susan - I'm a big fan of 7 deadly sins! I even poured their zin by the glass at my restaurant. Are you feeling ok today? Heidi - I haven't tried White Cloud yet. I'll have to ask DH about it. Rest up for tomorrow! Jen - Hope you and DH are away over there! We don't want to see you back on here for at least an hour I have high hopes for you two!Grits - So funny about the bb job. I agree - I'm not a big fan of my D's right now. But, I'm much more focused on a little lipo after the baby is done.... just got to see if I can talk DH into going for a sibling first. Martie - Everything seems to be going great over there. I have the same question as Jen... what happens to this cycles eggs? I just got done from dinner at my neighbors. I have to admit I was dreading it. DH couldn't come and they are in their 60's and invited another neighbor in her 60's. But, it was actually very nice and we had lots to talk about. And, I was completely shocked, but both women bought me baby gifts! Awww... got to start writing thank you notes!

I'm back!!! Come on Rach- I had to get the deed done before Monday night football. DH is blissfully watching it while watering his orchids. Even he jokes about the 'manliness' of it. He is so cute.

hmmm... I guess that means you can still do ice cream night tomorrow night and then back to business on Wed. Good thing for my DH that he only had to dread what the morning fertility monitor said! I was all business when I would see that egg appear on the screen! Little did I know that the little DH's had no sense of direction or the right shape!

Sorry for the absence today ladies...no I wasn't at the doctors...no I didn't hear from teh clinic but darn it, I left a nasty message about having called SINCE AUGUST 31ST and having not talked with someone STILL. So hopefully tomorrow morning. Other wise, if they haven't called by 12, I'm calling my OB GYN OR the women's health line seeing a GYNO or whatever and getting a referal to a clinic closer to home. I just can't do this anymore.
Anyways, sorry for the quick update, must be going...Hope to catch up with y'all soon!!

We'll here I am again trying to settle my nerves by getting a morning forum fix. I just told DH that we needed a Plan B for the day if it turns out it's a no-go after the thaw. If we get bad news we're going to take Stella to see Shrek 3 (twould be her first theatre experience) so that she won't suffer the effects of a bad report. Actually even if we do the transfer today maybe DH will take her anyways to create some calm here for a few hours.
So... have a good day ladies, I'll update later.

Good Luck Heidi!!!!
 I will be checking when I get home for your update. I'm sure everything will be fine and all those little embabies will warm right up ready to implant nice and snug. Wow, little Stella might be on the way to a sibling! I also think its great though you have a game plan in case it doesn't work out. While its upsetting to have to think like that...things don't always go the way we like. (take my disastrous bfp's for instance.) Either way, we'll be here no matter how it turns out, thats something you can definately count on.

Heidi, good luck! It's great to have a plan, either way. I am praying for you.
Shawna- your clinic is insane! I thought you were sending DH there? Why i sthere no way to get transfered to an operator and then demand to speak to a person? There has to be a way. Get transfered to anyone and then go to town on them! Rachael, I love 7 Deadly Zins. Grits- love the boob stories! A few of my friend's just got post-baby boob jobs. I have seen what a number having a baby and nursing does to our poor little boobies! Alana, how are you feeling today? Jen- sounds like you and DH are having a blast over there! I am off to class and then to rowing! See ya!
