Wednesday Roll call

PrettyAccountant

Hello lovely ladies!
Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm sending hugs, thoughts and prayers out to McIrish - we are all so sorry you are going through this torture. We are here if you need us.

A big congrats to chucktgirl! Holy shizballs! Miracles do happen! Happy and healthy 9 months to you.

As always, I'm praying for everyone on this board and sending hugs out to anyone who needs them.

So what's going on with all of you? Doing anything fun while the US freezes or gets snowed in constantly (at least in NJ).

I'm still working on raising funds for our new shelter. We had another fundraiser last week - a kitty tea party ...lol it was a ton of fun and we added a few thousand to our fund. We also started taking in animals again to be housed at kennels and foster homes. If we say no, it is very likely that the animal will get put down - so we are trying our hardest.
And of course there is work...ugh busy season sucks.....

Sending out big hugs to McIrish....so heartbroken for her..........

Chuckgirl....your story makes me smile.... I so love it when one of our IFV girls gets her surprise miracle!  FX for a nice strong beta this morning.

PA... I so admire what you do for these poor animals.  You are my idol!  :-)

AFM....settling into my 2nd week back to work.  Its been rough but getting easier every day.  Have to take my first business trip on Monday... nothing like going back to work after 3 months and bam, btw you have to go to Atlanta for 2 days.....  not looking forward to that!  Hope its a little warmer there then it has been on the east coast!

Have a great rest of the week ladies!

Hugs to those of us that need them, and huge congrats to chucktgirl!

I'm on day 4 or 5 of stims and I'm such a slow starter I don't go back to my RE until Friday, they only saw 6 follicles yesterday so hopefully some more make an appearance. I know 6 isn't bad but even with picsi we get very few usuable sperm so it's hard not to get discouraged. My RE doesn't seem worried that I'll catch up, I do always start reaaaalllly slow but eventually get there.
It's freezing here in pa/md too. Ready for June

@PrettyAccountant - thank you so much for taking such good care of the animals. They are so lucky to have you- @Julie21613 - sorry you have to travel so soon after going back to work, I really hope it's warmer at least! @Sorrellam30 - good luck at your next appt on Friday!! @geordie34 - enjoy your couch time!!! I always look forward to my bed rest after transfer because I'm always emotionally exhausted!! It's too cold to do anything anyway!! ____ AFM- working tonight, but have plans with the hubby for dinner tomorrow night, so I'm looking forward to it!! Haven't heard anything from our clinic about anything, but will call Thursday or Friday. I'm due for AF next week, hoping I can at least start BC pills.

@julie21613 - I hate to break it to you but they are having some bad winter storms there. We have an office in Atlanta that closed because of the weather. Sorry!

PA- Kitty tea party sounds adorable  Glad it was a success!

Julie- Hoping you are pleasantly surprised w/ warm weather on your trip.

Sorrellam30 - GL at your monitoring appt on Friday! Fx for great progress.

Geordie - Enjoy your (well deserved) relaxation time!

KM - Hope you have a nice dinner date! Sounds like a good plan - been awhile since DH & I have had one.

AFM... Today we got new neighbors in our condo building that are eerie and remind me exactly of the Adams family. Should be interesting. They have a pet tarantula and 2 snakes - I'm having nightmares of them escaping and getting into our condo. Ick!! On the IF front, just waiting on AF to start our next FET. Here we go again...

@PrettyAccountant - Thanks for the shout-out. I'm so glad to hear things are moving forward for the new shelter. Keep your eye out for a replacement Pickles, will ya?
@Julie21613 - Is this your first overnight away from your DD? That might be even worse than the bad ATL weather! Good luck!
@sorrellam30 - Just think... you're half way done with stims!
@geordie314 - Rest up! You deserve it. I always took a day, too. Lots of guilty-pleasure TV time!
@MrsC430 - Let's hope the snake will eat the spider! :-S
@luvboston - You made me laugh! My hoo-ha is pretty frozen, too! (MI). I hope you find relief from your pain soon!

AFM, I'm pretending that my pregnancy is going to be normal. I had the pleasure of calling my fourth RE and cancelling our New Patient appointment that was supposed to be today! I'll admit, that was pretty exciting. It was a little disappointing when I told the crabby receptionist why I had to cancel (BFP) and she never even said Congratulations. Ugh. Oh well.

Nothing else going on except I can't seem to stop eating bread. I think this frigid weather is trying to induce me into hibernation!
