Good luck at the follicle check on Monday, indigo 
Gracie~ CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! 
2Mums~ Brill's book is a great place to start learning more about catching the egg!
Wehrli~ Thanks...he is such a cutie and he is so funny to watch and interact with.
Desert~ He is a chihuahua yorkie mix.
Happy Saturday everyone!
Hey ladies~ I've not been gone long but I'm already SO far behind!!
Gracie~ Congratulations!! Here's hoping for a sticky bean!
Gelly~ Your pup is INSANELY cute!!! Sid Vicious is the perfect name :)
Max~ How's it going? How much longer???
Lesbodoula~ How are you? On track for a May try?
I'm sure I'm missing everyone and I do apologize, but you know I think about you all. Actually, we were discussing on the Q&P board how much we care about you wonderful ones, but how much we feel like we fall behind~ a problem which is only going to get worse as some of us actually birth these littleuns. SO I've been delegated to say a couple of things~ most especially that we're lurking and caring and paying attention even when we don't post, and secondly, when/if there's a question anyone would like posted to a general group, please post it to the 'big board' in its own thread and not just here? I hope we're not stepping on any toes or being high and mighty, but we just wanted to make sure no one thinks we're just jumping ship. xoxox
No fab news here. The Med Faire was fun. I didn't dress up, but I enjoyed a wide variety of corseted maidens with soon-to-be-sunburned bosoms. My Indian Taco was dee-licious and served to me by roller derby girls, so it was a double win. Today DP and I got pedicures and it's nice to have my talons under control. Still trying to finish the last curtain and have the nursery be complete.
Much luck and love to you all, especially those I've neglected. xoxo
), especially when you have such a finite period of time to get ready to welcome a new baby and still need to balance the rest of your life. I love it when people who used to be here pop back over to say hi or answer a question, but I think it's a good plan that if we're looking for advice from everyone we could post it on the main board. I'm also not sure if it's appropriate to be posting over on Q&P directly if we have a question, but I haven't really had a reason to want to yet, so maybe that would be fine.
Just chiming in to say...
Library~ I agree with Isa. I think lots of us read over in Q&P. I saw the discussion as well. I think we all want to support and encourage each other, but time is limited and it is very difficult to post to everyone. I think that it would be okay to post on the main board if there is a question that they would like everyone to answer.
Night!
I was so excited to find this thread, forgive me for introducing myself in the midst of it!
We are on TTC month #24. Taking the month off to do all the test and stuff to prep for IVF, though it's unclear if we will get coverage at this point.
I think the two year mark is hitting me harder than I expected. We also concieved one year ago this week, and lost that baby over the summer. So I guess that's why I need a boost of support these days!!
BFN :(
But Af has not shown up yet for Kass.. so we will see in a day or so ...
On to try 4 :)
welcome Mumquest!!
welcome mum!!
library - i also read over at q&p - just old habit i guess! :) but thanks so much for the sentiments. having gone through pregnancy twice (one time with a 2yo), we know how tiring it gets towards the end and then how completely exhausted you are with a nb.
afu, first day poas for this cycle. low fertility as expected but the estrogen line is lighter than this time last cycle. dp is also already extremely HORNY, lol. ;) we are excited about our follicle scan tomorrow, whee! :)

You ladies are the best! For what it's worth, I don't think, nor do I think anyone else would think it's inappropriate for you to post in Q&P if you have something to say. It's not like it's a club and you can't join, or that we're more special than you. So yes, we'll all lurk and anyone can post anywhere they like. How about that!? Anarchy! Smash the state! Free posting for everyone!!
As long as you know we love you xoxo
Will you please move to Waiting to O? I think I will be Oing around the 17th...
If you are tracking, use the first day that you started bleeding as cycle day 1---I think you will go right back to your normal cycle soon since it was such an early loss. It is pretty amazing how bodies adjust... Hang in there!
I finally completed my portfolio for my National Boards (SO much harder than any of my Master's classes...) which is a huge relief...I am hoping that I can stay pretty stress-free during this month (although i am producing and directing a musical on the 19th which is VERY stressful). My cycles have begun to get a bit shorter--I think this month I might be back to where I was at before the m/c...who knows though. I am SO ready to try again!
If you're interested~ I just posted (FINALLY) the nursery photos on Q&P. Indigo, take a special look at the Dr. Who alphabet my sister made, I know you'll appreciate it the most.
Library~ Great pics...Very cute nursery! I love it.
Lisedea~ Thanks. We got the area rug at Kohl's...it came in several different sizes. Good luck with this month's insem and with "Mr. March"!
MumQuest~ 
! This is a wonderful board of caring and compassionate women...feel free to ask anything that you like. Sorry to hear about your earlier loss.
Indigo~ good luck with the u/s tomorrow...!
Afm~ Today is CD5 for me, nothing much really going on. I'm still taking my injectables...follistem 225 ml a day...so far no side effects or anything. I go in on Thursday for my u/s to see how the follies are doing.
So, I recently got a new vehicle...this was my first week driving it to work. So one of the 'mean girls' at my job complimented me on it...and then to my friend later that day in the break room she 'mean girl' asked her, "How in the world can Gelly afford that vehicle? It is totally loaded!" People can be so rude...instead of being happy for me because I got a new ride, she wants to go around trying to figure out how I could afford it. I want to say something to her...the mean girl, but I just don't know what to say. For some reason she thinks that she is so much better than I am and that I couldn't possibly have anything...or maybe she thinks that I don't deserve anything, I'm not sure. I should just let it alone.
My RE suggested that I apply for FMLA for the infertility treatments, which I did. I was denied. Even though ever thing is supposed to be confidential I think that the FMLA rep told my acting manager "Mean Girl #1" why I was missing work for Dr's appointments. (Mind you I have the leave time on the books so it's not like I am getting over with anything.) I can't prove it...I just have to wait for her to slip up and say something to me. I really hope that this is our month...so that I don't have to deal with asking off of work. Once I am preggo I don't think that they can deny me the FMLA.
Gracie: 
(is that enough veggies for you? I can do more, but leave out the chocolate for you) Thats the best news yet! congrats to you and your little guy!
Gelly: ADORABLE puppy! for your little guy!
Cananny: I'm so sorry about the BFN, but AF isn't here yet and she knows her ugly face isn't welcome anymore! FX for you girlie!
Indigo: Any new baby pics yet?! Hope your DP gets her positive soon so its time to insem before your lovely trip! So excited for you guys.
Carmen: How are things with you guys?!
Max: This is it! This is your month! I'm cheering you on girl! You can do it!
Library: You are too cute! Thanks for helping us to get our questions answered! You guys are loved by all of us non-graduates. Your nursery is adorable. Can't wait for the cat to be replaced by Aspi!
Mum: You and max are gonna hit it this month with IVF! There are lots of wonderful women here and we are all super excited for you to get pregnant with us!
Isa: How are your shots and things going?! Has your cervix softened up yet? (Is that okay to ask?! I have no idea if thats a TMI question or not...) Tomorrow isnt your day to o. It will happen Tuesday like you want it!
Lise: I'm SO glad you're using Mr. March with me. We pumped me full of three of our four vials of him. WHEN we both hit it this month, our babies must play together regularly! I'm going to be testing a mere few days after you insem, how fun! We have NO STINKIN CLUE how they pick their donors of the month. We thought they picked by who had lots of vials available, but that went out the window in Mr.Jan with Conrad, who Sara used. So we just don't know. I'd be interested to find out though. Were they so wonderful for you guys too?! I am in love with their whole operation I think (we will see if the sperm works or not as to how I feel about them 
) My vials had 46 million in them and they were from April of 2010. Let me know what yours have, and when they were from, if you care to share.
How is everyone else? Kelly. Mami. everyone else.
AFM: I have lots to say. PLEASE move me to TWW. I'm slowly counting the days... We insemed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. When we went to insem last night, my cervix had dropped a bunch, closed and didn't want to be seen at all, so we called it good and decided I ovulated Saturday during the day (my mucus had also dried up by then) and that we hit it and covered with well with fridays insem. Oh I was a nervous mess about not hitting it and bothered Sara for DAYS about doing everything right and the plans for inseming.
We also told my parents when they visited yesterday that Sara is expecting. They were thrilled and then realized they were going to be grandparents and freaked about about being too young for that, even though they are older than Sara's mom. Then they asked if we had a crib, and I said "The baby is going to sleep with us". My dad freaked and said "A baby can't sleep in a bed with two adults". My mom told him to leave us alone. The day was filled with how to get someone pregnant and ultra sound questions. It sure went well and was very amusing! \
I feel much more chatty now that I'm actually trying and not just reading from the side lines.
