hello beautiful ladies!! I have been EXTREEMLY busy but guess what.... I'M DONE!!!!! I graduated with my masters on Saturday. Graduated top of my class with a 4.0!!! The author of Boardwalk Empire was my commencement speaker. Very cool.
I'm still catching up with some things I've been neglecting due to my thesis hell, but I will be around so much more now
A little update on me - unfortunately, I do need to postpone my FET AGAIN.... I did enough damage to my hip that I need surgery. So I won't be able to cycle until after that. . .so we need to make a decision if we want to skip the FET and do fresh while in the summer or do 2 FETs (if all goes well thaw wise) and do fresh during next school year. I'm a special ed teacher so my job is very hands on and it's just easier to stim and be super bloated during summer school. WDYT?
Re: Helllloooo ladies!!!!!! been MIA
omg, congrats!!!! 4.0, look at you! Great job!
Good luck with your surgery and best wishes on your decision concerning your FET/Fresh.

that's a good amount cutie.
i guess i would do a fresh cycle during the summer and i hope and pray that it is your sticky BFP but doing FET's would be easier duirng the school year.
and when would hip surgery be and what is recovery like?

surgery is scheduled for monday june 20 - i have to wait until school is out. summer school starts first week of july so i'm hoping that i'm recovered. otherwise i'll be collecting aflac. They said my recovery could be 2 days or 6 weeks. Soooo cycling all really depends on that as well. Doc said he wno't know how long until he's actually in there to see how much arthritis i have in my hip. My body is waaaaaaay too old for my age...

Good to see you back and posting! Congratulations on graduating with your Master's! And top of your class with a 4.0?! Great job, that is very impressive!
Sorry to hear that you have to have hip surgery. I hope that it all goes well and you don't have too long of a recovery time, so you can get a move on with whatever type of cycle you end up doing! Thinking of you and hoping for the best all around!!

Welcome back and congratulations!!!
I'm so sorry you need surgery.
I think my opinion on your cycling dilemma depends on whether or not you want a boat load of frosties when your cycle works
If you will use them for TTC #2 then I would do a fresh cycle this summer. I'm a teacher too and it's definitely easier to stim during the summer. For a variety of reasons we decided to save our frosties and go ahead with a fresh cycle. It worked out for us.
Good luck!!!
