So we have a pretty good dialogue going in the anybody there thread but I thought it would be nice to make a general thread...a never ending thread where we can keep tabs and just chat. That way any new people can jump right in and feel welcome!

I'm in! I think that's just what this room needs.
I just said in the Anybody thread to keep posting so I can keep up so I'm in. I'll test Wed if Af doesn't show. According to a 28 cycle I'm now late but since they changed my thyroid meds I've kinda been jump around btw 28-30 days.
I need to call the doc's office to get my Clomid Rx. Will start tomorrow.
So can we post anything in here? Here is what's on my mind today...
Today was such a crazy busy day at work for me! I am a physical therapist, managing an outpatient clinic, and I have 2 employees who have quit within the past week, one more on vacation, and one in the hospital. I like to be busy but doing 5 people's work is a little much!! And I had to manage to get out of the clinic for my RE appt today, and half a dozen phone calls to the pharmacy. By the time I left work all I wanted was a glass of wine! But instead I called my friend who is about to go through IVF and vented to her for a bit. Then I came home to DS and DH having a dance party in the family room. Lol! Made my day. :)
Also, I'm sorry if I forget to hide my siggy. I don't have any pics on it or anything but I'm not sure what the rules are for mention of kids in this room. So, if I have offended anyone, I'm sorry.
That sounds like a crazy day! I hope some of your staff comes back soon!
I know there have been discussions in the past. I think the big no-no in here is pregnancy tickers. Either way, I haven't been offended by anyone's ticker in here yet, so I'm sure you're fine.
I'm off work for the summer (I work for the school district) so while on a budget to pay for infertility treatments, and without kids, my life is pretty boring until I go back to work and have something to do and talk about! So I apologize if I'm not sharing as much as I could! I do like to write in my spare time, and had a novel-in-progress that I stopped working on a while ago when I got bogged down with all my personal stuff going on. I'm trying to get back into it, because one of the things I like most about having the summers off is having that freedom to do what I love. But it's hard when you're focusing on infertility treatments at the same time.
Hope you get some staff back soon. Working short handed is hard. Thanks for mentioning the siggy thing because I also sometimes forget....and also do not mean to upset anyone.Quote:

I'm not offended by any kind of siggy but they alway give me hope so thats why I'm not offended. I am so sorry work is crazy right now, I hope things get better soon.Quote:

I hate that she has to go through this :( I have another friend who is doing IVF in Sept, and another who will do a FET this fall. Crazy how many people I know that are having fertility issues. :/
Sorry to hear about your friend.... Losses are so tough! I just found out my youngest cousin is pregnant, unplanned, with her boyfriend. Ugh.... Sometimes it just seems so unfair how some struggle and others don't. I just have to trust that it will happen when it is meant too.Quote:

It is hard. My cousin, who is 10 years younger than me, got married the same summer I did. We talked about kids at the time and she said she wanted to wait 5 years before kids, because she was young and still in college. DH and I wanted to try right away. Three weeks later, I heard she was pregnant. She's had two more unplanned pregnancies since then, while I am still TTC my first. In fact, her newest baby was born the day I had my chemical. I love her, but I have had to keep my distance. I just couldn't deal with it up close.
Sorry I'm not much help... the only symptoms I had were sore bb's and some indigestion, but I didn't even think much of those at the time. I don't know if they were because of the progesterone or not? What symptoms are you having?Quote:

Which is good and likely means my levels are good with the supplements.Quote:

Gwenn, I am so sorry about your cousin, it could be my story. My cousin has had 2 in the time I've been trying and she is not understanding at all or does she use wisdom when discussing pregnancies around me. Once she asked me which of us had the problem, me or my husband. Then with my last pregnancy when we announce at 8 wks because we had seen the babies heartbeat and felt safe she said, Well you still are in the danger zone but good luck. If it wasn't against the law I might have caused her some physical harm. URGH!
Urgh is right! I'm so sorry she treated you that way.Quote:

I hope you ladies dont mind me jumping in here!!
So I am irritated. My stupid cycle is almost 70 days. This will be the longest it has been in a very long time! Ugh!
But I am excited to say that today I started my weight loss program through my doctor! I need to lose about 60-70 pounds. Been struggling for a very long time with it. I want to lose the weight before we start trying again!
Good to see you Sara! Sorry about the 70 day cycle. That sucks!!! :pokey: Good luck with your weight loss program. Are you having a surgery or is the doctor managing your weight loss through less invasive means? (If you care to share that is :) )Quote:

I go for b/w at 9am then they will call me to tell me what dosage of Follistim to keep taking, and hopefully I will be scheduling an u/s for early to mid next week. Keep your fingers crossed!!!
Ooh, good luck! KUP
Hope you follies are growing nice and big!! KUP about your blood work. FX!Quote:

Thats ok though because mommy was feeling done too... I just wasnt feeling it, was tired and had a headache, but went because DH was really looking forward to going. Tomorrow will be grocery shopping and house chores then when DH gets home from work we are going over to the neighbors to go swimming. I slept terrible last night...woke up at 5 am and couldn't get back to sleep. :pokey: I read for awhile then went back to sleep. Then I napped when DD slept. UGH.... Hope that doesn't happen again....it is probably from working so many nights in a row my sleep schedule gets wacky.
I can't wait for Friday....not sure if I will test wed or not....or if I should just wait....who knows...I will see when it gets closer.
Hope everybody else is having a good weekend.
No surgery. I don't want to go that route. They will just been watching my food journals and I will go in every month to weigh in. I am ready to lose the weight so we can start trying next year like planned right now!Quote:

Sara, sounds like a great weight loss plan! Will you start trying when Kaylee is 2?
AFM - my bloodwork came back this afternoon and the nurse said my numbers are rising. I will stay on Follistim 75iu the next 2 nights then go in for u/s Tuesday morning! Come on big follies!!! lol
Can't wait to hear your u/s results!
Yellow, I'm stalking! Friday seems like such a long time!
No beta scheduled...they told me to call if no period by the 20th. I would also call if I got a positive test. I feel a few symptoms but it is hard to tell if it is the progesterone or not. I guess time will tell. I will update you ladies if I decide to test before Friday.Quote:

Sara::hi: welcome and good luck with your weight loss!
I know right..... Darn 2ww.Quote:

Yellow -- I agree, Friday does seem like a long way away!! You could always test early... :winks:
