QOTD: I have been buying fresh flowers for the house every few weeks to give it that burst of spring color.
Update: Things appear to be going smoothly. I told my boss I was pg yesterday so that is over with. Granted we didn't discuss leave, etc but he was happy even though my leave will be during busy season.
M&MBride0506 - not sure if you saw my page yesterday but both KoCoLoCo and I gave you the same rec for an attorney. Go back to your old post or let me know and I will give it to you again.
Status Update: Still on the path of saving
QOTD: I bought some flowers 2 weeks ago and they're still alive. We're expected another snowstorm apparently this week. We've already gotten a ton of snow already but at least it's good for the plants that will pop up in the spring.

Great to hear things are going smoothly for you!
I'm taking your advice and trying to be patient with the hard contacts and every day it's getting less scary putting in the contacts. I'm a blinker so i've been trying to make myself aware and not blink as much but it's still a problem.

We are still on schedule for a thaw Thursday and transfer next Tuesday. I have another lining check tomorrow. Yesterday it was just under 8, at 7.3, but he doctor wants to make sure it reaches 8. I start PIO tomorrow night. I have never done those tomorrow, so it should be interesting!
QOTW: Since I'm in Atlanta, it's not too bad here. Except for the two snow storms we have had lately! The last few days have been great, so I've been getting out some.
Good luck to everyone!
Hi Girls,
Sorry I am not able to get online much.
Status Update: We picked a donor and I start Lupron on this Thursday. I am so scared and excited. I have been on bcp for over 2 weeks and I have spotted the whole time. So I am nervous that it won't work,my lining will be messed up. We will see. Transfer is hopefully around Easter if all goes well. It was 2 yrs ago today that I had my first fresh cycle that gave us our heavenly daughter. So I am a little sad and trying to be hopeful.
QOTD: I just know spring is here soon. I am in Washington, DC where we have had over 3 feet of snow since December!!!
RachelD83 hoping all goes well tomorrow. Do you go to Shady Grove? Would love to chat with you.
BRS so glad you told your boss, how exciting it is getting so close to meeting your baby.
Debbie
Update to my Update:
Well, I went back today for another lining measurement and now I have a GIANT polyp. Thaw and transfer off until polyp is removed.
I am soooo frustrated. It seems like you should get a free pass for these complications if you've been through so much and have worked hard to come to terms with DE. Vent, vent, vent.
