The pregnancy cd is from Health Journal, it is by Belleruth Naparstek, I wonder if it’s the same as yours? Right now I am listening to A Meditation to Support a Successful Pregnancy. One side is a guided imagery and the other side is affirmations, all related to pregnancy. I listen to it in the car and it’s relaxing in general. The second part I have not listened to yet is A Meditation To Support a Successful Childbirth. I find that even though I am not pregnant yet it helps me get into that mindset.
Good morning ladies~ Only a few minutes before I have to run off to meetings. Book nerding out started last night with getting to see Armistead Maupin (who was hilarious and charming) and David Levithan (who was kind of an arrogant a-hole) and will be continuing today and tomorrow with the amazing likes of Joss Whedon and Neil Gaiman. Woohoo!! Went to La Jolla and looked at seals, who were preciously cute. One farted and it was maybe the stinkiest thing I've ever encountered. Whew!!
Max~ There are a lot of gay librarians, though I couldn't tell you why. The GLBT Roundtable is a big part of the ALA, and I see even more gay men and lesbians than actually attend the meetings. It'd be a fascinating study, I think. YAY for walking around!! You'll have your 2ww underway before you know it.
Escher~ I thought it was good of our RE to require me to see a psychologist. I only had to go for one session, just a general assessment, but it made me feel like he was thorough and serious. I had to do some basic bloodwork, but nothing extensive, and they asked about pap smears and mamograms, but I didn't have to produce records. I guess everyone's different.
Starling~ Got a brief glimpse of the vendor's room and all the new releases. Thought of you!!!
AFM~ I think I over did it yesterday, and maybe didn't get enough water. Woke up in the middle of the night with a racing heart and shakiness, convincing myself something awful was happening. I'm okay, but it shook me up. I'm drinking lots of water right now and being glad I have to sit in meetings all day. Too scary. Really missing my DP (though I just heard that her half marathon went very well).
Dear fellow TTCers and pregnant lessies I discovered something amazing today .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
...................... bacon pickles
that is all
I hope that you're feeling better today, and that you're able to sleep well tonight.
there like pickles with hickory smoke flavor and garlic and stuff in them haven't tried yet I will report back , I have already informed my midwife that she could likely make a killing selling them in her office : )
escher those darn eggs ! fingers crossed for you
AFM impatiently waiting for AF so I can count the days till O . Ive seemed to have involentaly convinced myself the first cycle will work well at the same time trying to convince myself not to get my hopes up but then again it might ......you understand don't you ?
are the pickles wrapped in bacon?
Good luck on your insemination. Let’s hope you catch that egg with perfect timing! I was in my car yesterday half listening to the CD and more just focusing on driving and staying relax. All of a sudden I notice she is talking about magical creatures… Really? What magical creatures? It made me think of unicorns protecting my baby energy. Also, I have most of my meds already from the last cycle but I will have to reorder some once I start to make up for the 3 days of meds I already took. I feel mentally ready and happy to do all those injectables now!
Hey wonderful ones~ I'm too sleepy right now to do personals, but I wanted to drop in and say hello. It's been a good, long day of meetings and book awards. Starling, your friend's book about the trans EMT is a Stonewall honor book and was the 'best of the year' vote for a few people on the committee! I'm feeling much better after last night's freak out. I guess I really do have to take it easier than I have been. As soon as I'm home from this conference, I'm going to do a bit more resting...
More tomorrow~ love to you all!
Graceie~ who is scott? did I miss something here?!
AFM: Just hanging out with a not so fun cold and AF to top that off for a wonderful weekend! Working on loosing some weight for pre-baby making fun! So far, one pound is gone! wuhu wuhu. Sara is working and I think the dog and I have had some really good bonding time! Fingers crossed for lots more snow!
Smileing you know I have no idea 
Im back smileing this is what I was talking about
krista, did they test e2 to see how high it is? that is a better indication if those are cysts or not. i would push for that bloodwork before i made a decision on this cycle. bcp might not be a bad idea - give your ovaries a month off and then they are raring to go next cycle when you can do injectibles? just a thought.
afu, we are now done with poas for this cycle. dp is pretty sure she ovulated last night. now we patiently wait for af. :) and in other super exciting news, we have our civil partnership date booked! woooooohooo! :) that will happen when we are in scotland on vacation in april. yeah!

Sara~ I'm glad you're still feeling so positive, and I think anything we can do to make our bodies baby ready is time well spent. This hotel has a GIANT mirror on one wall and I was looking at my butt yesterday and wishin' and hopin' I could get back on my bike soon. I ate waaaay too much at Christmas!
No big news here. Another day of quiet meetings, then whale watching tomorrow. I'm kinda ready to go home and take it easy, but I'd better enjoy my last bit of 'freedom'. Hope everyone has a pleasant Sunday!!
Escher: Happy conception day!! Sending lots of positive thoughts. Your post reminded me of Amy's spontaneous decision (after an unexpected and clearly positive OPK) to insem--and look how that turned out!
I do temp, and that definitely helped us make the decision to insem this morning.
Has a massage therapist ( specialized in pregnancy post partum infant and peds ) I would say its fine during the TWW could keep you relaxed and help with blood flow all that good stuff I had deep tissue and CST during my whole pregnancy with DS even 1 trimester .but no deep pelvic/ abdominal work during the TWW or well pregnant but some types of pelvic work can be great when you are waiting to O Ive been getting mayna sp ? womb massage
Escher: How exciting! Those numbers are excellent, and it sounds like your signs lined up perfectly! Wow. I have everything crossed for you, Amanda. I really hope this is your month and that you'll have a healthy, sticky little one in there very soon. From everything I've been told (including by my massage therapist, who is trained in prenatal massage), the "dangerous" pressure points (that could stimulate uterine contractions, which wouldn't be good for implantation) are all on the hands and feet. I'd think that relaxation-oriented massage that avoids the hands and feet would be perfect during the tww. You should treat yourself as lovingly as possible, I think. I hope you are having a lovely, quiet day.
