OMG MrsHinds--I loved your response. Like everyone else has said, I am so in awe of your composure in your response. The response that I would have loved to give is two words--but I think you did a much better job. And really, people, (I'm preaching to the choir here)--get your facts straight. You can freeze the embryos,…

Pam--Ouch. I've only ever had one UTI in my adult life, and I don't wish it on anyone. Get it cleared up and think positive! The frustration is totally understandable, but just remember, just because it could happen doesn't mean it is or will happen...antibodies are our friends (most of the time)! Hopefully this will be…

Blend it in a food processor until it is smooth, creamy, and uniform--I've used it that way as a sour cream substitute in a pinch in recipes, and it makes a much healthier alternative to ricotta cheese if you make lasagne--and it has the same texture. You can just store it in the same container you got it in, and it is all…

I never had nightmares, but I did have "bad sleep" as I call it. Not really scary, but weird dreams that I would remember when I woke up--obvioudly never completed those REM sleep cycles. If you google nightmares and Clomid, there are a lot of people who seem to experience that, so I guess you aren't alone... but boo to…

When I lost some weight the first time, I kept my bigger clothes. I'm too much of a "what-if"'er to just get rid of them all. I was glad I did, because during pregnancy they didn't work so well for the most part--the belly was just too big. But after pregnancy, I found myself needing them due to my non-belly added "fluff".…

Welcome to the newbies and feel free to join us, any of you stalker-types out there--we don't bite. :-) Sorry I'm not responding to everyone individually--it's just not happening right now, but I did want to say: Kim--I"m interested to see what my husband says when we go in to see the RE and they broach that subject with…

Hi All--loving all the posting and new people and bumps from old friends with little bumps of their own going on! I'm sick of cupcakes. :-) I weighed in on Friday morning--up .2 from last week, but then AF showed up Sat morn, so I didn't feel as bad about that. But the last two days have been non-stop eating--we went to a…

Yay Hopey!!! How exciting that he is coming home. I don't know how you all do it--my husband leaves for a week on a trip and I feel like it's the end of the world! Welcome to April everyone--I lost 10 lbs last week. APRIL FOOLS! Haha. Actually, I was up .2 from last week. Grrrrr...but my eating was so crazy this past week,…

ERICA!!! I'm apparently late to the congrats party, but CONGRATULATIONS!!! YAYYYYY! I'm so happy for you. I'll start giving the Dr lots of money here in a week or two, so I guess I need to get on planning that expensive vacation. HAHA!:laugh: Heather--if you are still stalking the board--we miss you--but we are so glad you…

I tend to rotate between three main exercise "routines"--Leslie Sansone walking videos, Kettleworx, and C25k training. The C25k is on hold till the sun starts coming up earlier again...I won't run in the dark and I can't wait that late in the morning to do it. If I'm on my game when the sun starts coming up earlier, the…

I have a kid. If you are trying to TTC, then come on in!! Today is a day of mindless eating. Hubs has the stomach bug that my son had, and we are going to a baby shower this afternoon (Josh and I, not hubs) I've already pigged out on cookies left over from yesterday's shower (Sunday is a freebie day for my purposes in…

Adoption-way to go Jalara! My hubs and I have talked about that option, and we are open to it, but I think we would wait a while to pursue it. My hubs said that he would need the time to "grieve" not having any more bio-kids....he wouldn't want to bring a child into our family as a substitute for something else. It's a big…

Hi new people! Welcome to the group! Hey Erica--it's a win win that way right? BFP or beach vacation--sounds like a bit of a win/win either way... I'm trying to be positive. Little boy is through the worst...yay!

The room that we used was a colonial blue on two walls and a lighter blue on the two others. We did a gender surprise, and since we weren't repainting,we did a very loose underwater theme--i.e. I did a tropical fish embroidery (I worked on it when I couldn't sleep at night), and a friend made us a tropical fish baby quilt…

The mentally deranged side of me is enjoying reading about so many of us who are just sort of in a cruddy place right now, for whatever reason. Maybe misery loves company? I hope you all know what I mean when I say that. At the shower I went to on Sunday, my husband's great-aunt saw my little boy running down the hall and…

Morning all. Bad. eating. weekend. Went to a wedding shower yesterday. Theme: Cookies and Milk. O.M.G. Wow. I tried to stay away from the cookies, but it just meant I went hog wild with everything else--like the chicken salad. Oh well--I got up and exercised a fraction of it off this morning. I seem to just be in an…

Hey Erica--if all you did was call me Katie, that's pretty good! Didn't see it, and really, wouldn't have cared--but thanks for editing anyways! Yeah, my insurance is wacky. My evidence of coverage says that it will pay for diagnostic testing, but no treatment. However, when I called the insurance people, they said that if…

So much going on for everyone! Erica--totally hear you on the needing a break thing. We won't take it personally at all. I hope you are right, and none of us are still here when you do come back. AFM: Weigh in this morning. Up FOUR pounds from last week. That just ain't right. So, we'll see what happens next week. Had the…

Yay Heather! I'm sorry you didn't have two sticky beans, but then again, one is usually plenty. ;-) Hope things continue to go well for your pregnancy. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi All! On Fri I was down .8--yay. I'm probably back up and more since this was a weekend of food porn, but i have till Friday to mitigate the damage. Didn't log it, so don't bother looking, any of you food porn peeping types! I will not drag you down with me. Haha. Back on the wagon today. Started spotting today. I…

Welcome Kate--I post mine on Fridays, but that's just because trying to keep myself accountable over the weekend with a weigh-in on Monday just sabatoged me. So, this way, if I have a little fun on the weekend, I have the workdays to get back to a place I want to be. So sorry about the MC--I hope you find the support you…

Ugh Jalara--some people, even well intentioned say such bone-headed things, don't they. Think before you speak people--you just don't know when an innocent comment will send someone into a downward spiral. (I know I'm preaching to the choir here, forgive me.) And if you are anything like me, the Clomid is probably only…

Oooo--the do it and not tell you approach--I kinda like that! Or just take his and the donor sperm, mix em up (can they do that?) and then let them all go in together and figure it out for themselves. I had never thought about that before. I wonder if there would be comfort in not knowing. I dunno. Good luck with the…

Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are a new mother!!! And you are working--I'm tired just reading about your day. Work on finding ways to incorporate smaller bits of exercise in, and be gentle with yourself and your expectations. The stamina will come, but maybe not for a while, and the time to exercise will come, but…

Hey--I'm happy to go to Florida too! Maybe someday......probably not soon though. So, I'll just have to live vicariously through everyone else.

I'm lining seeing new peeps and old ones back! Good to see you, Alisa! We had a college choir do a concert at our church last night, and we had two of the girls stay the night with us. It brought back a LOT of memories from my four years on choir tour in college. And Josh had a great time playing with them during breakfast…

Wow! You are doing great to have lost while on Clomid. It's all I can do to not eat my computer while I'm on the stuff. It hasn't worked for me though, so I guess we are moving on to bigger things in the next month or so. Welcome back!

Maybe it is a super-egg, but, given that I started spotting on CD19 last month, I'm not holding my breath, and am not sure superegg would have a chance if it does release! Maybe I should make up a superhero theme song for it to give it a boost-haha. Ashley- I totally understand about a break. I think we'll wait a few weeks…

Oh,I forgot--welcome to the new ladies--nice to meet you...thanks for joining us!

Okay Ladies--Laissez les bon temps rouler! (Forgive the spelling if I botched it.) Today is quite literally "Fat Tuesday". I haven't charted a thing or exercised in the last few days, and I"m not counting calories today either. Tomorrow, I'm back on the wagon-sans white flour. I think I'm just going to eat white bread,…
