::giggle::
Sorry, that kinda sounded dirty to me - like I was calling my husband a stallion? Good lord. Ha.
I'm Cat, just turned 40 years old. I was on this board for a looonnnng time and after 6 rounds of IUI and a m/c, we were lucky enough to have A, our little guy. He's almost 9 months old.
We are hoping to TTC #2 soon. Just getting all the testing sorted out with the RE to see if that will even be possible. We are AMA obviously (gawd how I hate that term) and MFI.
This board has always been really close to my heart, and I still lurked here now and then. It has always been a fantastic group of women.
I am a lover of wine, quick wit, and fries and gravy. I'm a pretty darn good chart reader and pledge to be an ever supportive cheerleader to all the +35 wonderul ladies.
Oh yeah, and usually one of the token CANADIANS!
Re: Back on the horse. Re-intro.

Hello, Cat, My Dear!
I don't post over here anymore, but I do check in on everybody. DH and I are hoping to do an FET in the fall, so maybe we'll get our boys some sibs in unison!
It's so good to see you again, and good luck! I was 40 in my 1st tri with M, so you are just a kid compared to this old lady!!!!
Hey there! Thanks so much for the welcome and good wishes. Oh yes indeed, c/s it was. We were all lined up for a natural birth but nope - frank breech. We tried everything - chiro, version, bending over the ironing board, even that funky Chinese herb you burn next to your little toe that smells like pot. No go But given my motto was "leave hospital with healthy mommy and healthy baby" we were totally cool with the section. Whatevers!
Good luck to you too!
Well thank you very much! Best of luck to you as well.
Hey Pixie - thanks. I was just reading your sig. Is there a chance of another IVF in your future? Fingers crossed....
Lucy! HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off: WHAT THE HELL VANCOUVER TONIGHT!
Sigh.
But really...h sweetheart. I remember you of course. I wish giant fertility on you asap. ((hugs)))

FET in the fall! I am so so so happy to hear that. ::tear::
Cathys unite!
Caaaaaaaathy! I was just here on a lurk-a-about and here you are.
Anderson is a cutie! Good luck with #2. I hope it happens fast so you don't have to see your RE. Or, did you get to switch to a new one with more of a personality?
I will have to pop into your blog and check it out. I haven't read it in ages. Do you still do behind the living room curtain (or whatever it was called)? I always loved those stories.
Yep next IVF is late July!
