[sarcaztic10]

readinglove I am trying to get back into exercising too. I always feel better when i exercise regularly. This time I am not even sure how I got off it but somehow I stopped.

skategirl128 I have been thinking about oyu and sending postitive thoughts. I am so glad you did ok last time! FX that everything goes well during and after your next treatment.

meredithcarole FX that your H gets a positive answer soon!

AFM, monitoring appt was less than stellar. I have only one follie at 17mm and my lining was at 5.1. We are still planning to trigger tomorrow morning and have the IUI on Saturday but this was a blow to what little hope I have. they say that it just may need those 3 days to fluff up a bit more and I hope they are right. I just don't want to find out now after having perfect lining that there is another problem.

[4furrypaws]

sarcaztic10 Thanks so much for taking over hun! Come on follie!! Grow and fluff and grow and fluff!!

therealbug Thinking of you hun!! Hope all is well in laywer land!!!

readinglove I hope you find the motivation you need to tackle your challenges right now. BTW, I only just noticed what your profile pic says. I thought I'd tell you that while I am sure none of us believe much in fairy tails at this point, I work at Disney World and occasionally there is a celebration (retirement or significant anniversary) and the a cappella singers will come and perform. Often they sing "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and it always makes me tear up. I like to leave a little room in my heart for magic     

You work there?! Please tell me it's as fabulous as I imagine it to be!  That is so sweet that they sing that. I'm not a huge Cinderella fan (Snow White FTW!), but that song has taken on a whole new meaning since our first loss. It has the power to bring on the ugly cry on the wrong/right day. I'm with you on leaving room in my heart for magic.

It is a good place to work Sometimes you forget a bit when you get caught up in the day to day craziness, but the magic is always there.

[holdingouthope]

readinglove (((Hugs))) I echo furry's recommendation for a personal trainer. Even just a few sessions over the course of a couple weeks could get you into a great routine that works for you. And congrats on an earlier O!

skategirl128 Your positive attitude is so inspiring! I'm holding you close in my thoughts and hoping for a great next round of treatment for you. (((Hugs)))

meredithcarole Deep breaths. The roller coaster and waiting game just plain suck. Sending lots of positive vibes your way and hoping your H hears back soon on the job! GL to him!

sarcaztic10 Oh sweets, I'm sorry that the monitoring appointment wasn't all that you hoped for. Did your RE mention possibly using estrogen to thicken your lining? I'm no expert, but during my one and only medicated cycle (on Clomid) my lining wasn't as thick as they wanted so they put me on the smurf vag pills and witin a day it was where they wanted to see it. That cycle didn't do anything for me, though, so a good lining isn't everything! Thinking of you and sending lots of positive vibes your way for a great IUI!

[rmpar29]

rubysi - Sending ((((HUGS))) and lots of good vibes for your cycle!

lizblue - So jealous of your cruise! Good luck with all of your appointments love!

renegadewhit - I hope you get all of the insurance stuff taken care of soon.

readinglove - FX for you love! YAY for Oing earlier!

skategirl128 - Keeping you in my T&Ps love! I hope that your numbers rebound nicely so your surgery can just get here and be over with. Sending you lots of ((((HUGS))))

meredithcarole - I hope you O soon and that your hubby gets an awesome job offer!

sarcaztic10 - I hope that your lining thickens up a bit. Maybe they need to add something else to your regime if this cycle doesn't work.

4furrypaws - Thanks love! So nice to see you!

[snegde]

Big hugs Rmpar29! Hoping the meds help.

FX Katiesoptimistic! And go skiing!

sarcaztic10 I get staying neutral. Was your IUI today? FX!

menrandes I know testing cycles are brutal but hopefully it will lead to good information.

@wickedcandy gropes boobies and slaps ass.

@rlsh10 FX for your IUI tomorrow! And congrats on 17lbs!!!! That's awesome!

Thinking of you megrae12, holdingouthope and rachaeleigh. Remember one day at a time.

rubysi I'm here if you need hugs, hand holding, or to talk with IVF. It's a wild ride. Just keep reminding yourself you are putting it all on the line for the best possible chance. And FX for your job interview.

[snegde]

lizblue keeping you guys in my thoughts. So excited for you!

[snegde]

renegadewhit hoping insurance gets straightened out so you can schedule your surgery.

skategirl128 I'll be praying for you love! All my positive thoughts are being sent your way.

meredithcarole hope O happens soon and you and your hubby can have awesomely quick 2ww's with double good news at the end!

sarcaztic10 all you need is one. Stay positive. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!
readinglove FX for this cycle!

[sarcaztic10]

snegde IUI is tomorrow morning!!

[rubysi]

snegde, I can't believe you are almost ready to pop! How are you feeling these days? Thanks for the support! I have been a little crazed lately and haven't even started meds. I will be on vacation during the crazy times.

[readinglove]

Hi ladies!

This is a lot later than I thought it would be. Life. Urgh.

rmpar29 I hope the antidepressants have been helping. You've been in my thoughts lately. (((hugs)))

kateisoptimistic I'm so glad you had a good weekend away! I hope the weird pains went away.

sarcaztic10 Not getting hopes up is so hard. But I'm still going to keep my FX for you. I'm sorry you're dealing with shit at work. Incompetent bosses are the worst. Hopefully she gets her head out of her ass sooner than later.

megrae12 How did the scan go?

holdingouthope Are you feeling better? That sounds like a hot mess. I hope the extra supplements are helping to get things where you need them. I've considered doing a few sessions with a personal trainer. DH is a licensed athletic trainer, but working out with him is not a good thing. Whoops?

menrandes Oh the fun that testing is! Hopefully it's going well, and isn't causing too much stress. When is your bike trip happening?

rslh10 Way to go on the weight loss!! That is awesome! FX for you with the IUI!

rachaeleigh (((hugs))) I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I hope things go well.

rubysi Any news yet on the job? Yay for the 27 day cycle!

lizblue A cruise and the Bahamas sounds amazing and fabulous. Yay for things happening with the adoption process!! That's super exciting (and nerve wracking, I'm sure!)!

renegadewhit I'm glad meeting the new boss went well. Transition can be scary. 

skategirl128 I'm so happy that treatments are going well! I think of you often. I hope your numbers stay high enough for the surgery on the 30th.

meredithcarole Oh man. That's a lot of waiting on big news at once!! FX for you and YH!

sarcaztic10 (((hugs))) lady. I'm still keeping FX for you that things went well Saturday.

Stuck in box....

It was a no on the job. The hiring manager has a bad habit of hiring his friends... I am not his friend.  Next hope is getting my same position at a new store opening in walking distance of my house this fall. Disappointed but it isn'tisn't the end of the world.

I'll be keeping everything crossed for you!!! 

[menrandes]

readinglove hey lady! How are you doing? My date for leaving is mid April. It cannot come soon enough!! Testing has been stressful, I'll admit. Today was the hsg and it inconclusive. Other people are going to take a look at the video, but one side looked blocked. The other was very much clear though, so the nurse is wondering if it was just taking most of the dye. Hoping that is the case.

Ehh...TBH, I've been better. Rough day today - AF is on her way. Pretty sure she'll be here tonight/tomorrow morning, and that always sucks. Add that to finding out my cousin is KU, and another one sharing the gender of hers...I'm angry at the world. Boo for an inconclusive HSG. When will you get the results/opinions from others looking at the video? It blows my mind how "mid April" sounds so far away, but it's really not - April starts next week, eep! I can imagine how pumped you are for the trip...I'm excited to hear about it!

Hey love! Thanks for thinking of me. I've been sleeping better since getting back on meds. I've only had one bad night in the last week, much better than 3 nights the week before. I'm not sure if my emotional well-being is any better yet. I've found it really hard to be on the main board this week. I find myself seriously eye-rolling all of the OPP posts. I know those ladies need support and I've been trying to give it to them, but I feel guilty about not wanting to read about their BFFs or SIL or anyone really being KU. Feel like an awful person for admitting that...

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's hard - I get that as I was there last night with a cousin announcing - but...oof. If people are being malicious and rubbing it in, then that's a different story. When you're having a bad day and know seeing that kind of thing is going to be upsetting, you have to be able to step away from Facebook. Pregnancy and babies are part of life. This is our safe place from that exposure, and it's almost like all of that variety of posts are taking that away. That's where I've been the past few days with all of it. If that makes me an awful person...so be it. 

[rmpar29]

readinglove and renegadewhit - It makes me feel a little better that I'm not the only one.
