Alisa--let us know how the HSG goes. The part I liked about it was that there is no waiting for the results! Hahaha! Poor Dr was more upset than I was when she found the blockage, I think. I think she thought I was upset because I was a little teary...but to be honest, that was just from the cramping...the results hadn't…

Jalara--I'm still weighing in on Fridays...but I usually forget to post it. I just keep bouncing back and forth between the same 3 pounds depending on where in my cycle I am. I'm almost thinking about switching it up like you are! Abeare--BRUTAL. What a horrible, horrible experience. And your family has no clue, right?…

Okay Ladies, I'm trying to get going again. Today it was just a 2 mile walk with Leslie Sansone, but after three days of nothing, that's a victory! My plan was to go for a run, but it's raining outside and I am not a rainy runner. (I'm hardly a not-rainy runner either!) batgirl--good luck! Sometimes it seems…

Hi ladies! Horrible weekend eating and no exercise. Not good. But, sometimes that's just how it goes. Hopefully I'll get my bum back in gear and go tomorrow. Had a good Father's Day--got to see both my dad and my husband's dad. Yay! Started my major spotting yesterday. I knew it was coming, but it's still a major bummer…

I've heard good things about it. I don't have the money to put towards it, but if you are going to pay for a complimentary/alternative therapy, there is research to back that one up as being beneficial, so I say go for that one! PS--I think you chose a completely appropriate time to give him the onesie!

I didn't even know the Stanley Cup was happening--not a sports person. But, I saw the headlines and just thought "Oh boyyyy".

Are all of our Vancouver peeps okay? I hear there was some "action" last night after the game. Hope everyone is okay....

CODE RED CODE RED--WE HAVE AN AWESOME NURSING STUDENT ON THIS FORUM!!! Now back to you regularly scheduled whatever.... Way to go J!
-
Pam--don't talk too loudly about the maternity leave benefits you got up North....I'll get incredibly jealous. ;-) Hubby doesn't get anything---will save a week of vacation for that time if it happens, and most places here, it's like 6 weeks Maternity leave (unpaid, unless you use vacation,etc). Can't let family time get…

Hugs Pam!! You are always so strong and upbeat for all of us...I hope we can be that for you when you are going through a "down" time. It stinks being stuck in an "in-between" time, not knowing how or when the next step is going to happen...but just knowing that you want it so badly...

Morning ladies! I ate bad last night, but I didn't eat a LOT of bad, so whatever. It was date night, and I was going to have part of that pizza turnover if I wanted it! And raisinettes at the movies---but it was just a little snack size one that I snuck in my bag. I figured that was a good compromise. Had a very enjoyable…

Jalara--I looked at WW, but I just couldn't get into the points, etc. It felt like too much math and stuff to figure out point values. It just didn't hook me like MFP did. That said, my sister-in-law is ROCKIN WW, and she likes the fact that she can save points from day to day if she wants, so if she knows she's going to…

Hi all! Welcome to all the new folks. I hope your stay here is as short (or long) as you want it to be. Haha! I"m not logging today, but all the food I packed is healthy, so I'm not going to worry too much about it. Strawberries and blueberries on mega sale at my grocery store--I'm going to pull a Veruca Salt and probably…
-
Congrats DC!!! We haven't had a positive for a little while, so that's great. That's how it was for me with my son, Joshua. I quit BC, and took a prego test just so I could see how it worked, etc. and was like "Uh hon....does that look like a plus sign to you?!" Haha. Part of the reason this whole expereince has been such…

Hi everyone! I survived the HSG. I was really glad I had taken the Ibuprofen--I had some significant cramping, but that is probably because I didn't get any "spill" on one side. So, in other words, one of my tubes looks blocked. I'm still processing it--my brain is stuck trying to decide if it is good news or bad…
-
Thanks Pam! I'm a little anxious, but I figure, I've been through labor pains before...I can do this. Haha! 1:00 is the appt. Thanks for the wishes---I am going to see if we can watch the pictures--from waht I've seen online, it does look pretty cool--don't ever get to actually see those fallopian tubes. I did my…
-
Hi all---just wanted everyone to know that I found a sitter for the HSG tomorrow. I know it was going to keep you all up tonight, and I wanted you to get some good sleep. Haha. It's my friend who has IVF twins actually. She was like "I remember trying to get all that stuff done and I didn't even have a kid!" So, that's…
-
Luki--so sorry this wasn't the month! It is hard with the babies sometimes. I just never know how I am going to react, so I prepare myself for the worse and am pleasantly surprised if it doesn't affect me that much. As for the NSV--SO JEALOUS! I have determined that I will always have the "chub rub" in between my legs,…

Hi all--hope those of you celebrating had a good Memorial Day. We did--hosted a cookout at our house. It was SO HOT outside, and I think our air conditioner is broken for all the good it is doing. Ugh. We may have to get a window unit to survive till we can get it looked at/fixed. It was also my brother's birthday, so I…
-
Ashley-- I have no idea about the temp stuff. Best of luck though. It would be driving me crazy. In another month or two, perhaps. As for the co-worker, some people just don't really pick up on those things, do they? Well, you can either be really blunt with him, get an ipod and tell him that you really just want your…
-
Hi ladies. So, the HSG saga continues. Long long long story short, I miss the HSG this month because days 8-10 of my cycle are the three days of Memorial Day weekend when the radiology lab is closed. GAHHHH!!!! (I found one place that would try to squeeze me in on Friday, but that's iffy, because I may not be done with my…
-
Good evening ladies. I have been a busy bee today! It was an awesome day though. We were supposed to go to this town festival, but we just decided that we needed a day at home, just the three of us given our past hectic week and weekends. It was the best decision ever. We got the lawn mowed, I got a great workout in, we…

Okay all....FINALLY. Oct 16, 2004. Rainy....so no outside pics, but really, I could have cared less at the time. Haha. I couldn't find many of the professional pics, so I just grabbed some of the ones I had stashed on a computer locally. Mostly taken by friends. I wish someone had told me my bangs started to slip. Oh…
-
Okay--I'm going to go attempt to get some wedding pics on here. If they don't show up soon, assume I drowned in IMG files.
-
Thanks for being willing to share that with us. I can't speak for the hubby with a low sex drive--we haven't done his SA yet, but I can tell you, if it came back low, he'd be dev-i-sta-ted. That said, I'm sure there is a big psychological/emotional component. Physical, emotional and psychological are all so interconnected,…

Hi all-- NSV: I was under my calories yesterday for the first time in a WHILE. A small victory, but yes, still a victory! I have determined that if I am just at home, I seem to do fine calorie wise---but I am such a social eater. And the problem is, when both families and an active church family are around, there is a LOT…
-
It's me again. I just found this article for guys who have wives going through infertility. I thought I'd share it, just in case it's a good read for any of you---or your hubbies. I liked it. Too bad we can't upload this into their brains like they did in the Matrix... What to Expect when your wife is Not Expecting.…

Hi all! Jalara--I feel ya. I am just going through a no energy slump, and I felt the need to empty the bag of oreos in the pantry. I haven't exercised in the last two days, and have been over my cals every day, and haven't bothered logging it because it's all been restaruant/reception food that just feels like too much…

Hi all--I'm Karen, and I'm a TTCer. (Everybody now "HI KARENNN!") I"m from Virginia, Hubs and I have known each other and been good friends since HS, dated off and on during the latter part of college, broke it off when he wanted to "explore", and then we got back together when he told me that he realized every single girl…

Alisa---just to make sure--call and make the appointment for the HSG AS SOON as AF shows!! Just in case your scheduler is like mine and has a stick up her....well, nevermind. Just call on the first day!! Other low carb snackies--I currently am loving hummus with veggies (or whole wheat pita, but that might be out for…
