Hi Ladies, it's FRIDAY!

Jandei- I hope things are settling down for you stress wise and emotionally. I'm sorry that going through a tough time and the Dr seems to be such a downer. I know its easier said than done but stay positive!

Kerzie - In my past pregnancies I didn't start to show until about 7 months. Probably because I already have a nice size belly. LOL!!! I know subsequent pregnancies can differ. You never know I might pop out at 4 months. This would be my 3rd time around. I saw an article on MSN.com about the father that posted the itemized hospital bill and was charged for skin to skin contact. A nurse commented and said it was probably because its an operating room environment and probably required an a additional nurse to come an be near by to assure the baby's safety. Hmmmm....

Pumpikin - last time I didn't feel pregnant either. It wasn't until late in the pregnancy...with backaches, shortness of breath, not getting any sleep. You're just having an easy time. Enjoy mama!

Meghan - your symptoms are promising...

39 - hey there! I'm sorry you were under the weather. UTI's are certainly no fun. Hope you're feeling better

AFM - 7dpo still having tender boobs, feeling some twinges/very mild cramping and a little nausea. Same ole, same ole. Next Friday is a long way away

Mom my is due next Friday too!!!! My boob are sensitive one day next day nothing. Have had slight cramping and feelig tired....it would be awesome if we get our bfp at same time....

Thank you everyone, you all made me feel better. It's really rough to be going through this. And thanks for assuring me that I'm not crazy. When the doctor said right before my IUI that we should move to IVF I started crying and then came home and was thinking - why in the world would she say that when she did. Then you all assured me that yes, she WAS insensitive and it's not me being emotional for no reason. The sperm count on the following day was a little better - 7mill 85% motility. I guess there is always a chance but I do realize it's very slim. Not sure what I'll do next cycle but we shall see.

Pumpkin, when you said you can be a storm chaser I smiled and thought 'well you don't have to chase this one, it's coming right AT you" lol FL didn't get is as bad as anticipated and I'm hoping the same for you.

Kerzie, yes we BD'ed the night before the trigger which BTW it turned out to be no big deal at all. Didn't hurt or anything just a little poke. I've had my blood drawn so much in the last two months I look like a heroine addict. I bruise easily and even a little blood draw leaves a bruise. Thanks for helping me realize that indeed I have not done a whole lot yet to move to IVF.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. You are all so awesome!

Miracle - Yes, totally awesome! Meghan is right there with us I believe. I'm having tender boobs and mild cramping too. I'm always exhausted so I won't count that as symptom. Again...Friday...so far away and

My dh emailed me this, just read it and my heart is all mushy xx

This is a message from Kersie’s “OH” (is that right?) to all of you online ladies.

I realise it’s highly irregular for the OH’s to contribute to your forum, and so I’m emailing this to K so she can copy & paste it up – your special online place remains your own.

As you’ll no doubt be aware, my beautiful, awesome, amazing wife is now in the early stages of expecting our second baby. It’s been a long road & I’d really started to think it wasn’t going to happen for us. I’d have given up if it wasn’t for her sheer determination & staying power, researching everything there is to research & trying so so hard.

I’m very aware that she’s had a lot of support from you guys, and I really just wanted to say thankyou for that. You’ve been immense, and provided a crutch when even I couldn’t do it. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

I’m so excited. I know it’s early days, but just so happy... and so happy for K. There is already some fatigue, sleepless nights & morning sickness... and am aware that K might well experience some of these too. ????

If you think K is special online, you should meet her in real life.

I wish you all happiness, and I hope all your dreams come true. And where possible, I hope you remain a part of K’s life because we’re all real people behind the avatars & you are considered as friends.

Aww bless him, thats really lovely, a keeper for sure -x-

Kerzie - awww that was SOO sweet =] No morning sickness, or anything new to report here, but i have a strong stomach ( unless pregnant) and usually don't start vomiting until 6wks ( like last time , it was LITERALLY the day I was 6wks, started vomitting in the car on my way to work, can't tell you how unexpected THAT was >.<)

AFM - FINALLY HAVE POWER!! YIPPEE!! It's been a hellish 48hrs , two little girls and no power, and they were miserable , my oldest turned 3 on saturday, no power, not a very good birthday, I felt bad for her. But you can't hold back mother nature. Thank god we don't live in the city of Savannah , I shudder to think what those poor people are going through. I have had a bit of cramping though, i'm just going to be an anxious mess til I see the heartbeat. Boobs are also getting progressively sorer as well. No water, but so so thankful for electricity.

Kerzie,

It is so thoughtful of your dh to send this message. Tell him you are both so welcome and we count you has a friend as well. We are just as thankful for all of your loving encouragement. Extremely happy for you!

Pumpkin glad you and your family are safe.

Kerzie that was so awesome!!!!! Your husband is amazing for doing that. You are totally in good hands. Tell him that we are all here to support you in anything..im pretty sure and know for a fact that you are amazing in person just like here on the forum. I wish you the best of luck, and always praying for you to have a healthy pregnancy...tell him thank you for taking the time to write that..
My boobs are getting more sore. I saw my mom today and she said to me, "your face looks like you are pregnant". She has never been wrong before, i hope she is right.

Hi Ladies!

I'm putting it out there...it's going to be a great week!

Kerzie - What a wonderful, thoughtful, and kind husband you have. I'm so happy to know there are still such awesome people in the world like you and your husband!

How's everyone doing/feeling? May everyone continue to have sore boobs and nausea And let me add some more while I'm here.

AFM - 10dpo and the pregnancy monitor on FF has indicated my chart is possibly triphasic. Perhaps I'll get confirmation after tomorrow's temp. I'm doing my best not to get excited. It's getting pretty chilly at night where I am. I'm naturally a cold person so I wonder if my temp would be higher if I wasn't freezing at night I'm not quite ready to turn on the heat for the whole house. It's still nearly 70 degrees during the day. First world problems....I tell ya!
