@Moofish2364 - Im glad your HSG is over - I just felt so relieved when mine was over and it was not like the horror stories I read about on-line.

@reneeannemm - I guess it is just tipped back towards the spine instead of towards your belly. Mine is also way to the left. Not sure what that is all about. Sex doing the dog right on O day is never fun due to my cervical position. I can do it but I don't really enjoy it. I did hear that it might be better to lay on your belly after...maybe you could flip over after and that would work for you.  We seem to be twinsies on a lot of things!

1)See sign, been lurking for about a week. It's been so comforting to hear from other women that I can relate to. I feel so much less alone.

2) WTO CD15, hopefully soon

3)Nothing like starting the month standing in a freezing barn for 2 hours and paying $225 for your farrier to do your horses feet.

4) I went to Holland many times when I was younger as my mother was born there. I want to be back on the center of Delft eating some poffertjes.

@TScalei I hear ya on all the preg ladies out there.  On Sunday I went to Zumba and the instructor wanted to share some "happy news."  It is her third and she is 13 weeks.  I should be around 12 weeks.  

@rainbowturtles Just ((hugs))  Thinking of you.

@artemis618 How was Hawaii?  DH and I went a few months ago for our honeymoon.  I am in love with Hawaii.

1.) Introduce yourself (if you're new)
New this month

2.) Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc)
Waiting for levels to go down to 0

3.) Rants/ Raves
Rant - Called my doc's office for my lab results/radiology results from yesterday.  Called at 8:45 am and again at 11:30 am.  Crickets.  Talked to another nurse yesterday and she said both she and my Dr. recommend waiting one cycle after reaching 0 because "that's how I was taught."  Definitely verified that there are no adverse affects if we don't wait a cycle.  

I find myself still very tearful.  I usually hold it in until I am alone.  It's still so recent.  Thankfully I am functional.  I need to reign by BSC crazy in and to try to not think so much.  

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there?
I would love to go back to Hawaii.  Instead of island hopping this time around, DH and I would love to spend a week in Kuai and maybe Maui.  We spent our second week in Oahu this past July.  It was definitely awesome but it was also very touristy.

@SP128 I definitely recommend a week in Maui! There's plenty to do, and plenty of places to just relax. It's much less crowded and touristy than Oahu. Honolulu is just too touristy for me. The Big Island is nice too - less pretty, but more places to get away from crowds. Anyone here been to Kuaui? I'd love to go there this winter, but don't know much about it.

@SP128 - ugh the pg announcements are just so hard esp when you are not expecting it and you are doing something to distract yourself from ttcal.

SP128

@RiverSong15 Yes!!  We have been to Kuaui too.  Our first week was on a cruise ship so we were only there for a short time.  It is absolutely gorgeous.  More relaxed pace. That is why we want to go and spend a week there.

@NewMommyCoop @SP128. Maui was great, but super short, thanks.  Did and ate stuff I probably shouldn't do KU, so that's a small consolation since it didn't end up to be the mini baby moon it could have doubled as.

We did a rappelling tour that wasn't as cool as the Behana Gorge one we did outside of Cairns on our honeymoon - partly I think because Hawaii's gotten so damned much rain over the past year+ that the water was just too rough/high for canyoneering, so we pretty much just did three dry rappels and that was it (it was only my second time doing it though).  We managed to do a couple of boat scuba dives - one off of Molokini and the St Anthony wreck which I'd done maybe five years ago.  We also squeezed I'm an early morning drive up to Haleakela for sunrise before heading to the airport.  But our excuse for being there was my friends' wedding, which was lovely.  So it was quick (Thursday -Monday), but good, thanks.

I've only been to Kauai once (with an ex - drama); it was very pretty, and definitely quieter.  We ziplined and did one of those doorless helicopter tours, which was pretty cool because it involved lunching by and swimming in a small waterfall.  I think there's also some hiking.

Since Hawaii's so close from the west coast my family went about every other year when I was growing up.  But this was the first time I stayed down in Kihei (definitely more mellow - away from the resorts but still close to Wailea) because we had to be at the boat ramp down there at 6am.  While there are more exotic places than Hawaii, it is always very nice
