Hello friends - friendship needed!
Hi ladies - dh and I are embarking on IVF #3 (started BCP 8/5) and I find I need a diversion from thinking about our upcoming shots, challenges and 2ww. Yikes - not looking forward to doing this a 3rd time, although I'm taking royal jelly this time- who knows! There are a few websites I frequent every day, and I'm curious to know what my cybersisters are interested in. Diversion is a healthy thing in IVF! Here are my faves (other than this one, which I log on to about every 10 minutes!):
1. cnn.com, washingtonpost.com, nytimes.com, jsonline.com - national and local news-sites 2. tmz.com - hollywood/entertainment guilty pleasure website. 3. blockbusteronline.com - we rent movies online and I'm constantly updating our "queue." Last good movies we saw were "21" and "The OTher Boleyn Girl." 4. foodnetwork.com - I love to cook when I have the time, although Rachael Ray is getting a bit exhaustive and commercialized for my taste - I still get her magazine though! Thanks for sharing your fave websites ladies,and keep me in your thoughts for a successful IVF#3! Buffy

I like people.com too - I always click on "photos" there.
I also follow this blog - she had 5 or 6 failed IVFs then the last one all 4 took and one split so she was preg with 5, she's down to 3 now and in the hospital - but she usually updates daily now. From the Peanut Gallery Good luck on IVF#3. I hope this is the one for you

I follow a ton of blogs - if you get onto Stirrup Queens and Sperm Palace Jesters blog she has a huge list of links on there.
I also like Perez Hilton's blog. He always seems to have the scoop on celebrity gossip. The Drudge Report has good articles and it is constantly updated from newspapers all over the world. Good luck with #3! Hope this is your time!

Hi there! I am addicted to this site of course! And CNN.com, yahoomail.com, and I have google desktop so click on links all day that have titles that interest me! I LOVE to read everything from romance novels, to drama, to mystery/crime.
Never seem to have enough me time though - but thats what work is for! LOL!
