2nd- My life has sucked the past few weeks. Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse it does. Things seem to be looking up now though. Slow going, but we will come out of it together. We have a vacation coming up in a few weeks, I can't wait! Something we need. Although the stress will still be there until everything is resolved, I hope we will have a good time.
I'm really sorry I am late posting this, I feel like I am apologizing a lot these days...

I'm sorry that life got worse. I hate whatever it is that's going on. Hooray for a vacation, hopefully it will help you feel a little more relaxed.

Let's see... what's new with me. We are offiicially TTC again!!!!! After TTA for 18 months, it's kind of nice to be able to say that. I'm now in my 2ww and the days are dragging by. Blah.
As far as life updates go, I've actually been surprisingly happy lately. I don't know if its a mix of feeling a bit better, being back to TTC, knowing I will be quitting my job, or spending more time harvesting my garden but whatever it is, I'm taking it! I've been working on my blog more and just feeling an overall lift in my step that has been missing for the past year and a half.

Rawr: *big hugs* Sorry for whatever is giving you a hard time lately, and I hope it eases up soon! And have a fantabulous time on your vacation! It sounds like you need it! Where are you going?
Jenn: So happy to see you back on the TTC train!!! Also, I wish DH and I got busy even half as often as you did this month! That's some damn sexy timing!! FX for you!! Glad you're feeling in good spirits lately!!
As for me, I just had IUI #3 yesterday! With the great numbers yesterday, I'm feeling really really hopeful... but at the same time, trying to stay realistic. We have our "what if" appointment on 9/13 to discuss next step if this doesn't work. I guess we'll go from there.
Rawr: I'm sorry things aren't going so good. I hope they get better soon! And have a wonderful, relaxing time on your vacation!
Jenn: I'm so glad you're in such a good mood! FX for a BFP in the next couple weeks!
Requires: Good luck this cycle!!!
And as for me, IUI #2 didn't work obviously. And I've got an appointment on Friday with a new RE to talk about IVF. My new RE sent me an email stating that I should get my AMH levels tested before I come see him so he can have "some answers" for me. His receptionist is supposed to be emailing me a lab order but its been two hours and I still don't have it. So now I'm worried I'll end up having to reschedule my appointment for next week if I can't get the lab in time for results to be in by Friday am! I pretty much just feel like I'm so preoccupied with this appointment coming up and all the changes that I haven't even had time to let it sink in, which is probably good.
Rawr: I'm sorry that you're having a rough time and hope that your vacation recharges you.
Jenn001: Woo hoo for TTC! Hopefully you won't be back on the TTC train for too long in the best way possible.
ReqEx: FX for third times being the charm!
Laurakat: I hope this new RE can give you the answers you need to get you moved over.
Petra: I hope the days pass quickly with a great outcome!
St. Lucia: I'm sorry that you're feeling the sting of the lucky ladies who get to plow full steam ahead.
As for me: My ultrasound showed a great looking uterus but cysts ALL over my ovaries. Luckily they aren't producing any horomones, just messing with my own production. But that explains why my bw was always normal. So the doctor told me that she feels clomid would be a good choice for us at this time and gave me a prescription (that along with prometrium, woot woot for CD 80something...) She gave me strict instructions to call when I start the clomid so that they can get me in for monitoring and blood work. So yeah, and school/internship is exhausting too. Sorry I am not around as often.
Me: Still just waiting for my follow up appointment next Monday. Stupid me, I should have scheduled it for this week because the waiting is driving me crazy! Plus I would really like the staples removed asap...yucky. Anyway, we have a wedding to go to up in DC this weekend so that will be fun and make the time go by faster until Monday I'm pretty sure if everything looks good she will be giving us the go to try again so I'm excited for that!
Staples! Ugh! I had those once in my knee. Showering was not easy trying to keep them dry.
Rawr - I'm sorry you've had a really rough couple of weeks. I hope that vacation feels like just what you need.
Jenn - I'm so happy that you are feeling a little better, that you are feeling happier, and are back TTC. I hope this good trend just continues and continues, hopefully with a BFP.
Requires - Crossing everything for this IUI to be IT!!!
Laurakat - Call that receptionist every hour if you have to! I hope the appointment on Friday goes well and that you feel good about moving forward with a plan.
Petra - I'm crossing everything for you too! I just so want to see this work out for you. I hope your neighborhood is back on the grid soon!
Stlucia - I'm sorry about AF, and about how long you've been trying. I'm glad you got to visit home, even if just briefly.
Erin - I hope the time goes by quickly until your appointment and that you do indeed get the green light to try again!
Raashton - I'm sorry about the cysts. I hope your Dr. is right the clomid will help. I'm glad she will be monitoring you.
My update: I just left my HSG. Tubes are open, maybe the slightest possibility of a septum, but the tech wanted to look at all of the images more closely and provide an assessment to my RE. She thought the absence of a septum on any previous ultrasound made it less likely that she was seeing a septum now. Aren't they often missed on an ultrasound?
I have most of my RPL and CD3 blood work back, but haven't had an interpretation from the RE yet. There are a couple of things that appear to be on the high side of the standard range, so I definitely want to hear her thoughts on everything. We are still waiting of karyotyping for me and MH.

As for me, I am NTNP and having issues keeping my TTC mind out of it. I am also having a pretty hard time with my 2 year anniversary coming up of both my BFP and Loss. I just feel hopeless and defeated. I don't think I can do it much longer.

ReqEx - Yay for great #'s! FX!

Petra - FX those cramps DO mean something!
StL - Sorry cycle 1 was a bust, but on to bigger and better things (AKA...more sex )
Erin - Wishing you a speedy recovery. Staples really suck. I had a whole row of them and couldn't stand looking at it.
Ash - So happy to hear that you have a plan! Woot woot!
HH - I hope the remainder of your tests come back A OK! I will be thinking of you.
Mini - Sorry you're feeling so down. I know it's tough, but try to keep your chin up and focus on other things. Maybe find some projects to dive into.
As for me...I am either 8 or 10 dpo. Been feeling a little under the weather yesterday and today, but am looking forward to a few days off from work and our 5th anniversary this weekend. We tackled installing a new storm door this weekend after 3 years of me saying how much I hate the door. It spanned over Saturday and Sunday...such a nightmare, but it's done! Tonight we are debating over which smartphone we will get with our upgrade. We have androids, but are considering iphones. Such a hard decision.

Thank you sweets I appreciate it. I have recently started some hard core crafting and finding that crafting supplies can get expensive! Work has even slacked off so I don't even have that to keep me busy.
I hope you feel better soon, also Happy anniversary!! 5 years that is a huge deal! Congrats on the new door lol all that complaining worked! That is how things work here, if I complain long enough I get what I want. I have a Droid Pro and love it but, when I get to upgrade I may get an iphone as well. Decisions decisions. GL sweets!

Rawr ? sorry it's been so rough
lately. I'm a firm believer in ?everything will be OK in the end.
If it's not OK, it's not the end.? Hope that vacation is awesome!
Jenn ? that's awesome! Hopefully
it's a quick trip to PgAL for you :-)
Req ? FX for a successful IUI! I
think being hopeful is ? the battle. Looking forward to good news
in 2 weeks.
Laura ? bummer about IUI 2, but
hopefully this upcoming appt is fruitful.
Petra ? hope that gorgeous blast
turns into a beautiful fetus and healthy baby. Everything crossed
for you!
Stlucia ? ugh! I'll bet that stung
and sorry Friday was tough. Hopefully cycle 2 is more fruitful than
cycle 1.
Erin ? wedding with staples?! Bummer
:-( Hope the wedding is a blast and your appt Monday goes well. FX
for getting back on the TTC train soon!
Raash ? damn those cysts, but hoping
that Clomid does the trick. Hope your loss anniversary was gentle on
you.
Hippo ? yay for clear tubes and
hopefully there's no septum. Hopefully your RE is able to examine
all the lab results and give you some clear feedback and a plan going
forward.
Mini ? sorry you're feeling defeated
:-( Hang in there ? we're here for you.
Delino ? feel better and happy
anniversary! Go for the iPhone ? I have major iPhone envy but am
too cheap to get my own :-)
And me ? I got married on Aug 5th
:-) We're NTNP this cycle and next mostly due to timing issues, but
also in preparation for IVF in October when we get back from our
somewhat belated honeymoon. NTNP seems to have alleviated some of
the stress of TTC for DH, less so for me, but I'm not surprised :-)
Always hoping for a miracle, but also wrapping my head around IVF and
gearing up for lots of needles, u/s, and monitoring. Hopefully it
all pays off in the end!
IVF (BCPs starting 10/30/12, ER 11/18/12, 5dt of 1 beautiful, healthy embryo 11/23/12)
BFP 12/02/12, u/s @ 6w,5d showed 2 HBs! Identical twins!!
Bed rest from 21w-35w due to short cervix, hospital bed rest from 23w-32w due to PTL
Our rainbows were born 07/19/13 (36w, 5d)
Mini ? sorry you're feeling defeated :-( Hang in there ? we're here for you.

Lavril - your birthday and a blue moon sound lucky to me. Good luck Hun.
As for me I wish I had more time to offer support. I lurk a lot in the late evening to keep up with everyone and I'm usually on so late it seems like what I want to say is already said so I don't post most of the time.
I found out that my 18 year old niece got pregnant on purpose so she could move out of her moms and in with her boyfriend. She said she stopped taking BC because it was making her fat. Thank goodness my mom called and warned me before my sister. I have been avoiding her calls because I don't think I can talk to her without crying. She never understood to begin with and now that her daughter is pregnant that is probably all she will talk about. I'm am so sad....for my niece because she has no idea what she is in for and for me because this constant ache for another child only gets worse and not better.
I am currently taking my last round of Provera and I have an appointment with my OB/Gyn tomorrow. Not really sure what is going to happen next. My DD will be 9 this month and my DH is starting to wonder if we should just call it a day. I feel so defeated and worried about the unknown.
In the meantime I am continuing with my weight loss plan and I am reading a lot. Taking one day at a time right now.
Rawr - I hope whatever is going on turns around soon and that your vacation is AWESOME!
Requires, Lavril, Petra - FX for you lovely ladies!!! Good luck with everything! PS: Peta! I'm glad you didn't blow away
Jenn -It still makes me smile everytime I see you write that you are TTC again! It's got to be such a great feeling after 18 months of TTA.
Laura - Did you ever get your lab order? I hope so! It would be such a bummer to have to reschedule your appointment.
StLucia - *HUGS* It's hard to see when other people have the very thing that you want most.
MrsErinH - Enjoy the wedding!
RAASHTON - Good luck with the clomid this upcoming cycle! FX for you!
HH - I hope all your bloodwork comes back exactly as you want it to...whether that be completely normal or with something to explain your losses (I don't know which you are hoping for...)
MiniCheez - *HUGS* on the pcoming anniversaries.
Delino - Congrats on 5 years! That's great! We celebrated that last year and it was definitely a special anniversary. Are you doing anything fun to celebrate? Also, awesome on the door. I want a storm/screen door for the front of our house, but I apparently have not been whining enough about it because we don't have one yet
CNYBride - CONGRATS on getting married! How exciting!
KGS - That's a really rough situation with your niece. I'm sorry you find yourself there. Good luck with the weight loss. Are you reading anything good?
MaddieLynn - I hope the headaches get better.
As for me, we got the green light to TTC again. I had a SHG and it confirmed my original diagnosis of bicornuate uterus. I also tested positive for a heterzygous mutation of the MTHFR gene. So, I'm now on extra folic acid and will go on Lovenox with the next pg. DH and I decided to not-not through the fall and just enjoy ourselves and our "fun time" without worrying about CM, ovulation, etc.. We had been so stressed out and unhappy after the miscarriage, and we are going to take a little time for us. My mother is quite unhappy about us not jumping back in right away, but it's not her life. I'm also really scared about getting pregnant again; I didn't feel this way after any of the other 3 losses...part of me wants to be pregnant like RIGHT NOW and the other part of me is terrified that the Lovenox won't work and that'll be it.

June 2013 - Carrier found! Could this really happen?!
HH: I hope you get some answers soon! My septum was found during an SHG, if that helps. Good luck!
mini: *big squishy hugs* Anniversaries like that are hard. Be good to yourself. I wish there were something magic I could say or do to make you feel better... just know that we're here for you.
delino: I hope you feel better soon! Have a wonderful anniversary! And, personally, I love my android.
CNY: OMG Congrats!! I hope you enjoy your honeymoon! And good luck with the IVF!
lavril: FX for your IUI!! You're only a few days ahead of me! I really hope this is it for you!! (And happy belated birthday!)
KGS: *big hugs* That sounds really frustrating and difficult to deal with. I hope you get some answers at your appointment tomorrow, and come up with a good plan.
maddie: I'm glad you were able to get some relief from the migraines. *hugs*
sammer: Hooray for TTC again! It's good to have some answers, and I hope that when you do get KU the Lovenox is all you need. The thought of getting KU again is definitely scary for all of us, but we're here for you! *hugs*

Update on me: We're two weeks into officially TTA. I've been having unbearable migraines. I was diagnosed with them when I was 7 so having them was nothing new but I was having them more frequent and NOTHING was helping anymore. My (NEW!) neurologist finally decided to put on a new medicine that happened to be a class D so, I also had to go onto BCP. We were already "not-not-ing" so, it wasn't such a big deal to us. The medicine has been helping so far so, no complaints from me. At this point, we'll be TTA until Jan or February. Other than that, no real updates from me.
I really hope the new drugs help, I know where you are coming from with the migraines. I can't get in to see my neurologist til the 18th of October though. GL

So, I'm now on extra folic acid and will go on Lovenox with the next pg. DH and I decided to not-not through the fall and just enjoy ourselves and our "fun time" without worrying about CM, ovulation, etc.. We had been so stressed out and unhappy after the miscarriage, and we are going to take a little time for us. My mother is quite unhappy about us not jumping back in right away, but it's not her life. I'm also really scared about getting pregnant again; I didn't feel this way after any of the other 3 losses...part of me wants to be pregnant like RIGHT NOW and the other part of me is terrified that the Lovenox won't work and that'll be it.
First off thank you, Yay for TTC! I think taking time for the 2 of you is a great plan hun. I hope it is just what you need and you find yourself on Pgal in no time.

As for me.. I think this is going to be an exercise in futility, I am on CD24 with no sign of O..
I have picked up a new hobby though, Card stamping/creating, which I am loving ! I have a family wedding next weekend that I am looking forward to.
Stupid O, I will send some O dust your way. May the card stamping will distract you enough and perhaps it is late due to stress. GL sweets

Re: Bi-Monthly 6+ Wine and Cheese Party (updates)
1st-WTF is going on with my siggy??
2nd- My life has sucked the past few weeks. Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse it does. Things seem to be looking up now though. Slow going, but we will come out of it together. We have a vacation coming up in a few weeks, I can't wait! Something we need. Although the stress will still be there until everything is resolved, I hope we will have a good time.
I'm really sorry I am late posting this, I feel like I am apologizing a lot these days...

Let's see... what's new with me. We are offiicially TTC again!!!!! After TTA for 18 months, it's kind of nice to be able to say that. I'm now in my 2ww and the days are dragging by. Blah.
As far as life updates go, I've actually been surprisingly happy lately. I don't know if its a mix of feeling a bit better, being back to TTC, knowing I will be quitting my job, or spending more time harvesting my garden but whatever it is, I'm taking it! I've been working on my blog more and just feeling an overall lift in my step that has been missing for the past year and a half.

Rawr: *big hugs* Sorry for whatever is giving you a hard time lately, and I hope it eases up soon! And have a fantabulous time on your vacation! It sounds like you need it! Where are you going?
Jenn: So happy to see you back on the TTC train!!! Also, I wish DH and I got busy even half as often as you did this month! That's some damn sexy timing!! FX for you!! Glad you're feeling in good spirits lately!!
As for me, I just had IUI #3 yesterday! With the great numbers yesterday, I'm feeling really really hopeful... but at the same time, trying to stay realistic. We have our "what if" appointment on 9/13 to discuss next step if this doesn't work. I guess we'll go from there.
Rawr: I'm sorry things aren't going so good. I hope they get better soon! And have a wonderful, relaxing time on your vacation!
Jenn: I'm so glad you're in such a good mood! FX for a BFP in the next couple weeks!
Requires: Good luck this cycle!!!
And as for me, IUI #2 didn't work obviously. And I've got an appointment on Friday with a new RE to talk about IVF. My new RE sent me an email stating that I should get my AMH levels tested before I come see him so he can have "some answers" for me. His receptionist is supposed to be emailing me a lab order but its been two hours and I still don't have it. So now I'm worried I'll end up having to reschedule my appointment for next week if I can't get the lab in time for results to be in by Friday am! I pretty much just feel like I'm so preoccupied with this appointment coming up and all the changes that I haven't even had time to let it sink in, which is probably good.

Rawr: I'm sorry that you're having a rough time and hope that your vacation recharges you.
Jenn001: Woo hoo for TTC! Hopefully you won't be back on the TTC train for too long in the best way possible.
ReqEx: FX for third times being the charm!
Laurakat: I hope this new RE can give you the answers you need to get you moved over.
Petra: I hope the days pass quickly with a great outcome!
St. Lucia: I'm sorry that you're feeling the sting of the lucky ladies who get to plow full steam ahead.
As for me: My ultrasound showed a great looking uterus but cysts ALL over my ovaries. Luckily they aren't producing any horomones, just messing with my own production. But that explains why my bw was always normal. So the doctor told me that she feels clomid would be a good choice for us at this time and gave me a prescription (that along with prometrium, woot woot for CD 80something...) She gave me strict instructions to call when I start the clomid so that they can get me in for monitoring and blood work. So yeah, and school/internship is exhausting too. Sorry I am not around as often.
Staples! Ugh! I had those once in my knee. Showering was not easy trying to keep them dry.
I hope you get the green light soon!
Laurakat: Sorry your IUI didn't work. I hope you're able to get everything settled with your appointments, and your new RE comes up with a good plan!
Petra: I have everything crossed extra hard for you!! Where are you waiting out the storm?? Stay safe!
stlucia: *hugs* I know it's hard watching other people get what you want more than anything in the world. I hope you get your rainbow soon!
ErinH: Ouchie to the staples! I hope you have fun at the wedding though! And FX that you're cleared to get back to TTC!!
raash: Sorry about the cysts! No bueno! I hope you get some answers and a good plan in place soon!
Rawr - I'm sorry you've had a really rough couple of weeks. I hope that vacation feels like just what you need.
Jenn - I'm so happy that you are feeling a little better, that you are feeling happier, and are back TTC. I hope this good trend just continues and continues, hopefully with a BFP.
Requires - Crossing everything for this IUI to be IT!!!
Laurakat - Call that receptionist every hour if you have to! I hope the appointment on Friday goes well and that you feel good about moving forward with a plan.
Petra - I'm crossing everything for you too! I just so want to see this work out for you. I hope your neighborhood is back on the grid soon!
Stlucia - I'm sorry about AF, and about how long you've been trying. I'm glad you got to visit home, even if just briefly.
Erin - I hope the time goes by quickly until your appointment and that you do indeed get the green light to try again!
Raashton - I'm sorry about the cysts. I hope your Dr. is right the clomid will help. I'm glad she will be monitoring you.
My update: I just left my HSG. Tubes are open, maybe the slightest possibility of a septum, but the tech wanted to look at all of the images more closely and provide an assessment to my RE. She thought the absence of a septum on any previous ultrasound made it less likely that she was seeing a septum now. Aren't they often missed on an ultrasound?
I have most of my RPL and CD3 blood work back, but haven't had an interpretation from the RE yet. There are a couple of things that appear to be on the high side of the standard range, so I definitely want to hear her thoughts on everything. We are still waiting of karyotyping for me and MH.

Jenn - YYYYAAAYYY!!! for TTC! I have everything crossed for you honey and I hope the 2WW doesn't drag too much. I am so happy to hear you have been feeling happier GL sweets!

Stlucia - Honey I know how you feel with this right now, I am in that icky feeling of feeling crappy about this now. I am always available if you wanna talk.
Erin - GL at your appointment. I am terrible with waiting too.
Raashton - I am sorry to hear about the cysts. I hope the Provera and Clomid work for you. I have been there lol, just warn your husband there will be mood swings!
Hungryhippo - Yay for open tubes, I have nothing to say as far as the septum issue as I have yet to do my HSG. GL honey!
As for me, I am NTNP and having issues keeping my TTC mind out of it. I am also having a pretty hard time with my 2 year anniversary coming up of both my BFP and Loss. I just feel hopeless and defeated. I don't think I can do it much longer.
Rawr - I'm so sorry you've had such a tough couple of weeks (((HUGS)))
Jenn - That's so freaking exciting that you're back to TTC. I have a good feeling for you!
ReqEx - Yay for great #'s! FX!
LauraKat - I'm looking forward to hearing more about your micro IVF. Good luck with your consult!
Petra - FX those cramps DO mean something!
StL - Sorry cycle 1 was a bust, but on to bigger and better things (AKA...more sex )
Erin - Wishing you a speedy recovery. Staples really suck. I had a whole row of them and couldn't stand looking at it.
Ash - So happy to hear that you have a plan! Woot woot!
HH - I hope the remainder of your tests come back A OK! I will be thinking of you.
Mini - Sorry you're feeling so down. I know it's tough, but try to keep your chin up and focus on other things. Maybe find some projects to dive into.
As for me...I am either 8 or 10 dpo. Been feeling a little under the weather yesterday and today, but am looking forward to a few days off from work and our 5th anniversary this weekend. We tackled installing a new storm door this weekend after 3 years of me saying how much I hate the door. It spanned over Saturday and Sunday...such a nightmare, but it's done! Tonight we are debating over which smartphone we will get with our upgrade. We have androids, but are considering iphones. Such a hard decision.
Thank you sweets I appreciate it. I have recently started some hard core crafting and finding that crafting supplies can get expensive! Work has even slacked off so I don't even have that to keep me busy.
I hope you feel better soon, also Happy anniversary!! 5 years that is a huge deal! Congrats on the new door lol all that complaining worked! That is how things work here, if I complain long enough I get what I want. I have a Droid Pro and love it but, when I get to upgrade I may get an iphone as well. Decisions decisions. GL sweets!
Rawr ? sorry it's been so rough lately. I'm a firm believer in ?everything will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.? Hope that vacation is awesome!
Jenn ? that's awesome! Hopefully it's a quick trip to PgAL for you :-)
Req ? FX for a successful IUI! I think being hopeful is ? the battle. Looking forward to good news in 2 weeks.
Laura ? bummer about IUI 2, but hopefully this upcoming appt is fruitful.
Petra ? hope that gorgeous blast turns into a beautiful fetus and healthy baby. Everything crossed for you!
Stlucia ? ugh! I'll bet that stung and sorry Friday was tough. Hopefully cycle 2 is more fruitful than cycle 1.
Erin ? wedding with staples?! Bummer :-( Hope the wedding is a blast and your appt Monday goes well. FX for getting back on the TTC train soon!
Raash ? damn those cysts, but hoping that Clomid does the trick. Hope your loss anniversary was gentle on you.
Hippo ? yay for clear tubes and hopefully there's no septum. Hopefully your RE is able to examine all the lab results and give you some clear feedback and a plan going forward.
Mini ? sorry you're feeling defeated :-( Hang in there ? we're here for you.
Delino ? feel better and happy anniversary! Go for the iPhone ? I have major iPhone envy but am too cheap to get my own :-)
And me ? I got married on Aug 5th :-) We're NTNP this cycle and next mostly due to timing issues, but also in preparation for IVF in October when we get back from our somewhat belated honeymoon. NTNP seems to have alleviated some of the stress of TTC for DH, less so for me, but I'm not surprised :-) Always hoping for a miracle, but also wrapping my head around IVF and gearing up for lots of needles, u/s, and monitoring. Hopefully it all pays off in the end!

Lavril - your birthday and a blue moon sound lucky to me. Good luck Hun.
As for me I wish I had more time to offer support. I lurk a lot in the late evening to keep up with everyone and I'm usually on so late it seems like what I want to say is already said so I don't post most of the time.
I found out that my 18 year old niece got pregnant on purpose so she could move out of her moms and in with her boyfriend. She said she stopped taking BC because it was making her fat. Thank goodness my mom called and warned me before my sister. I have been avoiding her calls because I don't think I can talk to her without crying. She never understood to begin with and now that her daughter is pregnant that is probably all she will talk about. I'm am so sad....for my niece because she has no idea what she is in for and for me because this constant ache for another child only gets worse and not better.
I am currently taking my last round of Provera and I have an appointment with my OB/Gyn tomorrow. Not really sure what is going to happen next. My DD will be 9 this month and my DH is starting to wonder if we should just call it a day. I feel so defeated and worried about the unknown.
In the meantime I am continuing with my weight loss plan and I am reading a lot. Taking one day at a time right now.
CNY - Congrats on getting hitched!
lavril - FX for a BFP for you!
KGS - So much love to you my friend.
Maddie - I'm so glad your migraines are getting better! Jan/Feb will be here before you know it!
Rawr - I hope whatever is going on turns around soon and that your vacation is AWESOME!
Requires, Lavril, Petra - FX for you lovely ladies!!! Good luck with everything! PS: Peta! I'm glad you didn't blow away
Jenn -It still makes me smile everytime I see you write that you are TTC again! It's got to be such a great feeling after 18 months of TTA.
Laura - Did you ever get your lab order? I hope so! It would be such a bummer to have to reschedule your appointment.
StLucia - *HUGS* It's hard to see when other people have the very thing that you want most.
MrsErinH - Enjoy the wedding!
RAASHTON - Good luck with the clomid this upcoming cycle! FX for you!
HH - I hope all your bloodwork comes back exactly as you want it to...whether that be completely normal or with something to explain your losses (I don't know which you are hoping for...)
MiniCheez - *HUGS* on the pcoming anniversaries.
Delino - Congrats on 5 years! That's great! We celebrated that last year and it was definitely a special anniversary. Are you doing anything fun to celebrate? Also, awesome on the door. I want a storm/screen door for the front of our house, but I apparently have not been whining enough about it because we don't have one yet
CNYBride - CONGRATS on getting married! How exciting!
KGS - That's a really rough situation with your niece. I'm sorry you find yourself there. Good luck with the weight loss. Are you reading anything good?
MaddieLynn - I hope the headaches get better.
As for me, we got the green light to TTC again. I had a SHG and it confirmed my original diagnosis of bicornuate uterus. I also tested positive for a heterzygous mutation of the MTHFR gene. So, I'm now on extra folic acid and will go on Lovenox with the next pg. DH and I decided to not-not through the fall and just enjoy ourselves and our "fun time" without worrying about CM, ovulation, etc.. We had been so stressed out and unhappy after the miscarriage, and we are going to take a little time for us. My mother is quite unhappy about us not jumping back in right away, but it's not her life. I'm also really scared about getting pregnant again; I didn't feel this way after any of the other 3 losses...part of me wants to be pregnant like RIGHT NOW and the other part of me is terrified that the Lovenox won't work and that'll be it.

maddie: I'm glad you were able to get some relief from the migraines. *hugs*
sammer: Hooray for TTC again! It's good to have some answers, and I hope that when you do get KU the Lovenox is all you need. The thought of getting KU again is definitely scary for all of us, but we're here for you! *hugs*
I am so very sorry that you are dealing with all that crap with your niece. Huge hugs sweets, PM anytime to talk or to get info on a better way to reach me. I feel like I could have wrote a lot of what you just said.
I really hope the new drugs help, I know where you are coming from with the migraines. I can't get in to see my neurologist til the 18th of October though. GL
First off thank you, Yay for TTC! I think taking time for the 2 of you is a great plan hun. I hope it is just what you need and you find yourself on Pgal in no time.
Thank you so much, just knowing I have the support of the wonderful ladies here makes me feel better.
Thank you so much, I think I just need a good distraction to pull me out of the rut. This weekend DH has off and we have all sorts of plans. Hope it does the trick!
Thanks!! We had a super small (7 people!) wedding - we both had big white weddings before and wanted small and intimate. We're going to Portugal for our honeymoon - I CANNOT wait!

Thank you so much, it means a lot to me to have you wondeful ladies here to help me through it. Especially since some of you know how it feels to be in my shoes.
Maddie - Boo! to trying to avoid but glad to hear that your migraines are getting better.
Sammer - ((Hugs)) is sucks TTA but you are on the right track with taking care of your emotional well being first. I am not currently reading anything I am excited about suggestions are always welcome.
Wicked - picking up distractions were the best thing I could have done for myself wishing you much luck on your next cycle. Hopefully it comes soon.
Have you read this month's After a Loss book? Divergent by Veronica Roth. I love it so far.
