What are your weekend plans? It's suppose to rain this weekend (again) here in Los Angeles. It really sucks when the weather is great during the week while I'm stuck at work, yet raining on the weekends when I want to enjoy being outside! Since I am stuck indoors most of this weekend, I want to live vicariously through your wonderful weekend plans!

Re: Weekend plans?
Today: I am heading off to "Tomatomania" at lunch. It is a travelling thing where they sell tomato plants annually and I love all the choices they have. I need to call my Chiro and massage place and get appointments. Neck feels out and achy. I have stress headaches too which is probably all related.
Saturday: no real plans but I know that the house needs a good clean. Planting those tomato plants too. Maybe a long walk somewhere with the puppy too!
Sunday: Again no real plans, rain is coming back to the LA area. Next weekend will be my ER so I am going to give this weekend to DH to do whatever he wants to do. That is only fair, right?
Have a great weekend ladies!!!!

lynn0926- i am obsessed with the Hunger Games! i have read 2 out of the 3 books and cant wait for the movie. Have fun! i can't see it until next weekend, though due to other plans...
We actually have a busy wknd, though it will also rain here in SoCal (boo). Tonight we are going over a couple-friend's house for dinner (They have a 1year old but they are not annoying about it and have been super supportive during our ttc. It's funny to have friends with kids who are classified as "not annoying" but i know you guys know exactly what i mean!).
TOmorrow is our dear friend's bachelorette party - half March Madness fun, the other half downtown bars so that will be cool.
Sunday is church and we are having another couple-friend (childless by choice!) over for dinner.
Isn't it funny how you start looking at your plans and notice who has kids and who doesn't and if you'll be around them? or is that just me? Since TTC, and esp. since IF DX, if there is an event with kids or friends who have kids and are annoying about it i look forward to the event so, so much less.
I'm carrying & we are using anonymous donor sperm
In March 2012 diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (AMH = O.67) & IVF recommended
FET (2 5dt embryos) on 11/5/12= BFP! Beta #1=58; Beta #2=98, Beta #3=373. First u/s on 11/28/12 = 1 sac with fetal pole & heartbeat! Next u/s = 12/12/12
TTC History
IVF#1 (Antagonist Protocol) Sept 2012 = BFN
10R; 8F; 4 Day5 GradeA embryos. Put back 2, froze 2.
12 IUIs (in 9 cycles) since March 2011:
6 unmedicated/unmonitored = BFNs
3 with Clomid/Trigger/monitoring/progesterone = BFNs
"The Spirit of God moves over the formless void, over the darkness and deep, over the surface of the waters. When there is nothing...God is still there."
Seagull for sure! I always tell MH it all depends on the time of the month...week...day on what mood I'm in. ALWAYS check with me first before saying yes to dinner dates.
Funny story MH and I went to a small get together months ago. We walked in and didn't realize this get together was the pp that had kids! No lie...12 kids in there small house. They know I like kids (not about IVF) and everyone kept handing me there LO's. Yes I cried the whole way home.
