3/13 Randoms Go Here

[blabbermouth]

@catvaughn, pootsen, when I went for mine I went before work, so around 8 am, and had my results by 1 pm. So I'm not sure of your time zone, but maybe by the end of the day Good luck, I know it's stressful, but even getting a nice high number for the first one helped me relax a lot!

[RoLoMa]

Good luck cnf2013!

My beta came back at 265! Beta #2 is scheduled for Wednesday morning.

If I eat any more spicy food I think I might start on fire. I couldn't tolerate spicy when pregnant with DS and now it is all I want. I know it is too early for "cravings" but whatever, I eat what I want.

[cnf2013]

Great betas RoLoMa! I'll hopefully have good news by the morning.

[pootsen]

blabbermouth I think you may have me confused with someone else! I'm not having betas drawn today 😊

The nurse that did my draw blew out my vein. You do this daily, get it together, girl!

Ugh, I hate that so much.  The lady at my RE's office is seriously amazing at drawing blood.  I hate when I have to get it done at the obgyn, the lab people are never as good.

RoLoMa and @catvaughn Congrats on great betas! So happy for you!!

I still have 24 more hours to wait for my beta and progesterone results. I had the draw on Friday morning, so it feels like I've been waiting foreverrrrrrr.

On a more positive note, is anyone excited about March Madness starting this week? I can't wait!!! One of my favorite times of year!! 😃

They're usually really good. I've never encountered this nurse before so maybe she's new.

NY declared a state of emergency. Can you please just call my snow day now and not make me wait until 5am, please district?

[bethkate]

@catvaughn, woah! 573 and you just got a BFP last night?? What a great number! How far along are you?

RoLoMa, great beta! FX for doubling on Wednesday!

cnf2013, boo for having to wait to hear until tomorrow. That sucks. Also, it sucks that the person who drew your blood had issues. I'm to the point now that I tell the nurse/phlebotomist which arm to use and can usually point them to the best vein to try. The joys of IF. lol

[bethkate]

@catvaughn, Oh, ok. So you got kind of a "late" bfp then. haha Still a great beta, though!

[cnf2013]

Oh man, we got rear ended in a drive through, and you guys, I went crazy. Between Ellie being in the car and being pregnant, I just had the most visceral reaction. Like I got out of the car and started yelling at some poor 16 year old in mommy's SUV who was just beebooping around getting a shamrock shake. I scared the shit of the kid. He was shaking and had to ask a McDonald's employee to use a phone so he could call his parents. It felt like a complete out of body experience, I didn't even realize what I did until I was already screaming in the drive through lane. I feel really bad after the fact, that poor teenager had no idea what just happened. And it was a little bumper tap, no damage to either car. I went bat shit crazy, you guys. I have no idea what came over me!

Oh yeah, he'll definitely drive more cautiously now. He stood so dejectedly in the drive through just saying "I'm so sorry, ma'am" over and over. 

[dottiehinson]

cnf2013 I'm so glad you're all okay and that there was no damage to your vehicle!! That must've been scary, so I completely understand your reaction! I might have done the same thing!!

[blabbermouth]

cnf2013, omg! Glad it was just a tiny hit. And now you have a funny story to tell

Is anyone going to watch the new beauty and the beast? We are going on Saturday to watch it, it's my birthday Friday so it was my choice of movie lol.

Each time the trailer comes on the TV of it DH always goes "yay can't wait" sarcastically haha.

I'm going to see it with my mom friends!

[cnf2013]

Snow day acquired! Now if only I hadn't woken up at 430am and could get back to sleep.

[beefinch]

cnf2013 to be honest I think you handled it perfectly considering you had your child in the car and pregnant! At least that kid will have his eyes on the road 24/7 now!

[beefinch]

I have no appetite at all.
Just made my lunch, had maybe 2 bites and I either feel very full or not at all hungry, I can't decide.

And I couldn't taste anything, but that's down to the fact my nose is blocked and I have a really sore throat, my taste buds aren't working lol.

Operation move treadmill is commencing. Since H and I are both home and have been without a working treadmill since November, June if you include when we moved before we broke it. Just want to run!

It will be a relief to be able to run on it, I'm sure! I have been debating getting an elliptical. We belong to the Y and I love it there, but when I just want to go to use the elliptical, it seems like such a waste of time to drive the 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back. It is in a part of town that gets traffic-y in the afternoons. Would be nice to just be able to do it at home. But we don't have a great place to put it, especially now that we will be using one of the bedrooms for a new baby. We don't have a basement, as is standard here in California. We do have quite a big master bedroom so I am wondering if H will be open to putting one in there... I don't want to clutter our space but it is something I know I would use!

Anyway that was tl;dr lol.

Look into foldable ones maybe? The plus of living in the northeast, everyone has a basement.

Do we have a mod for this board? Does one just get assigned to us? I would be open to doing it, if it works that way.

It's usually a global unless we choose to assign one. Have at it!

[bethkate]

I'm good with it @thatgolfbitch!

Also, your comment about loving science on the team thread got me thinking about AWing my embryo picture that I got the day of my transfer.

[pootsen]

Good morning everyone!

Re: treadmills - we have one in our basement and I love it for the convenience. Except that it's currently broken which makes me ragey bc it takes up so much space and I hate that it's not working right now.

@thatgolfbitch I think you would make a great mod! Go for it 👍🏻

@bathkate that is one cute embryo!!

[cnf2013]

Love bethkate!

[cnf2013]

Yeah, no. This fucking treadmill is so huge and heavy. H's friend who flaked really needs to come help him. This is beyond the two of us. Ughhhhh.

[cnf2013]

Also, I was told I'd have my betas first thing this morning. It's after 10am and my office opens at 8am. Am I crazy if I call right now?
