Do you like your in-laws?

They're okay. We do better now.

freakyfast · February 2014

Cycle status: STILL waiting for AF to get started on BCP for my FET. (Had check-up on it yesterday, and I look to be mid-cycle and they said I just 'skipped' a period. I should start in 10-14 days, 9-13 now, but who is counting)

QsOTW:

Name one weird fact about yourself.

I like real monkeys, not cartoon monkeys, and I like cartoon turtles, but not real turtles.

What is the best gift you've ever relieved?

I am assuming this is received? not relieved? LOL! My son made me a potpourri glass case with this neat little knit top on it, when he was in 2nd grade. I still have it my lingerie drawer, even though it doesn't smell anymore.

Do you snore?

No

What time was your child(ren) born?

12:44 AM

Do you like your in-laws?

Yes! They are seriously GREAT! I love them like my parents.

pettycrocker · February 2014

Just had my dose of Methotrexate a couple days ago, to hopefully resolve this ectopic, then I have to wait and see what my cycle does. Never ending bs.

I am a little OCD about germ avoidance. (Really, a lot)

My amazing BMB just sent me some chocolate covered strawberries and an Amazon GC

Idk if I do? Definitely not bad. H snores like a lawnmower. He's had to sleep in his own room for years because of it. (On the other side of the house, because it's THAT bad)

10PM, 2hrs shy of when I predicted she'd be born

I've only met 2 of my SILs, one lives here in CT, the other came to visit. The rest of them all live in CA. I've never even spoken to them on the phone.

KC1212 · February 2014

@freakyfast Lmao!!!!! That typo is so funny, I'm going to leave it there. I must of misspelled and then autocorrect probably bit me in the ass. Stupid iPhone!

KC1212 · February 2014

@mrscastillo omg I just realized you had an ectopic! I'm SO sorry, hon. God, you know how sorry I am

That was nice of them! So your board stayed active after babies? I always wondered if most dwindled/died off.

The bump shuts them down after a few years, but most die off before that point anyway. Most of us moved to FB, some groups move to proboards, etc.

No worries, love! I literally just found out a couple days ago when I went in for the U/S. They didn't give me any heads up on the methotrexate, but hopefully it will resolve quickly since my levels never got crazy anyway.

Big hugs. We're like crazy fluke ectopic sisters now :P

They have no idea where the embryo stuck in my case, they are guessing either in my intestines or in my bowels

CeCe8579 · February 2014

Cycle status: Cycle #20 CD#8 unmedicated until DH gets an okay from his urologist. Starting adoption classes next Tuesday.

QsOTW:

Name one weird fact about yourself.

I have a weird obsession with cupcakes and Audrey Hepburn. I have a tattoo of both.

What is the best gift you've ever received?

I've gotten so many wonderful gifts but I think the best one I've ever received so far has been my Nana's pearls that my mom had restrung for me!

Do you snore?

Sometimes but I don't ever hear it ;-)

What time was your child(ren) born?

4:46 PM

Do you like your in-laws?

I love them. My FIL took some warming up to but they are awesome!

LindsayF24 · February 2014

CD28, 14DPO. This cycle was medicated TI (Clomid + Ovidrel). Was hoping for a really good cycle since I had 3 follies over 20mm. 2 from the right and one from the left. It was converted from an IUI due to the weather, I live in the Northeast.

Anyway, been getting BFNs since 11DPO

Certain this cycle is a bust, but I am ridiculously holding out hope since no sign of AF yet. Been having all sorts of random phantom symptoms. Trying to ignore them all as I'm pretty sure they're in my head.

I don't snore.

DS was born at 4:07pm.

Weird fact? I'm obsessed with tornadoes. I've never seen one and they are extremely rare around here. No idea why.

Jen071407 · February 2014

Cycle status: CD1. I start stimming Friday and if all goes according to plan ER/ET will be the first week of March :ar! QsOTW: Name one weird fact about yourself. I cannot wink for the life of me. What is the best gift you've ever received? My mom just brought my family to Disney World last October, which was an awesome time. My ILs have also footed the bill for my family to join them for a FL vacation. Do you snore? Nope. But according to MH I forget to breathe. What time was your child(ren) born? 3:01pm and 7:53pm Do you like your in-laws? My ILs are awesome.

annibes · February 2014

Break cycle, CD ?, ?DPO.

I am medically strange. I am mildly colorblind, I've had mono several times (3 diagnosed) and probably had appendicitis multiple times before it ruptured and came out (it was behind my bladder and I actually think it perforated when they filled up my bladder for an ultrasound to see wtf was going on).

Best gift.. One year my family stayed at a mountain cabin for Christmas. We woke up on Christmas morning and there were 4 crappy sleds waiting for us kids (my brother, 2 cousins and me). Our parents took us out after breakfast and being a mountain town, no one was out and it had snowed the night before. We spent the morning hiking up then slowly sledding down a mountain road back to the cabin. Best ever!

I don't snore but I talk.

DS @ 4:29 AM

I get along with my inlaws- they live an hour away but they're good people.

chrissynena · February 2014

Cycle status-I start meds for my FET on Friday. If all goes to plan should be the third week in March.

Weird fact about myself- I brush my teeth in the shower, and have for years and years.

I think sometimes I snore, MH says but I think he says that because I say "turn over you're snoring" and his answer is always no you're snoring.

I get along with my in laws about 98% of the time, but I am not going to lie that 2.5 months they spend in Florida every winter is pretty awesome

Edit: forgot DD born at 7:34pm

bcw2009 · February 2014

Cycle #20ish. Non-medicated TI cycle.

QsOTW:

Name one weird fact about yourself.
I hate to GIVE shots!! I am a nurse and have no problem starting IVs or drawing blood (or anything else really) but I hate to give injections. I don't mind getting them (or IVs or blood draws). So it should be interesting to see how I feel when/if I have to give them to myself?!

What is the best gift you've ever relieved?
A silver heart necklace from Tiffany & Co that my husband bought for me in Dec 2005. It was less about the gift and more about the fact that it symbolized how much we really loved one another and it was given around the time when I knew he was really, really important to me!

Do you snore?
No

What time was your child(ren) born?
11:58 AM

Do you like your in-laws?
+/-

Momarazzi007 · February 2014

Cycle status: 6dpo last natural cycle before starting fresh cycle meds

QsOTW:

Name one weird fact about yourself.

I'm the middle of three sisters- all of us are half sisters, same dad, diff mother, born 12 years and two months apart, all born on year of the monkey, same middle name, all have the "lee" sound syllable in first name- a brunette, redhead and blonde.

What is the best gift you've ever relieved? Relieved? I just unloaded a plant to another owner bc I just can't care for it. Literally yesterday morning- beautiful pink flowered thing.
Received- I'm going to be the butt who says Dd- we had to pay for her and she was born days before my birthday which rightfully got overlooked- so yeah, dd.

Do you snore?

Only when sick and congested

What time was your child(ren) born?

6:49pm

Do you like your in-laws?

Used to, then got pregnant w dd, mil decided that was her baby and she would get her when I went back to work bc that is what she did w hubs when he was six weeks old. Then I didn't go back to work and she went bat shoot cray cray and was pissed I was keeping "her precious baby" away from her. She seriously had set up a nursery and threw herself a baby shower and all the clothes she got kept at her house saying they weren't to leave her house bc of how much dd was supposed to stay there... Finally two and a half years later she has gotten some sanity back- at least it seems in last couple of weeks- but I'm seriously scared for when we have next child. Going to try and enjoy this while it lasts...!

tuscanbride2007 · February 2014

Cycle status:
Somewhere in my FW during a natural cycle. Trying to figure out how to proceed in the future cycle.

Name one weird fact about yourself.
It may be an OCD tendency but I have to count every time I do something. For example, when I pump something out of a bottle I have to count how many times in my head and I try to keep it an even number. Thankfully it is only for somethings and I don't have to count the number of times I walk around my car before I get in...yet.

What is the best gift you've ever received?
When I was younger, cabbage patch kids were all the rage but they were also around $100+ because of the supply shortage. My mom being a single mom with two kids could not afford to do that so she found a woman who had bought a ton of them for her daughter and got it at a reduced price. Of course I never really appreciated that gesture until I was older.

Do you snore?
According to H, yes, but I think he is lying :P

What time was your child(ren) born?
DD#1 1:26 a.m. DD#2 7:56 a.m.

Do you like your in-laws?
I am very close with my MIL. My FIL drives me crazy! They are both remarried and their respective spouses are a bit batty too.

efhoping2010 · February 2014

Cycle Status: I am going to call Clinic 1 next week and talk about a possible plan for IVF #4 this summer.

QOTW: I just started learning to belly dance

I am also getting back into classical ballet after many years.

I think I snore when I have a cold but DH says I breathe heavily when I sleep sometimes.

7:29pm and 7:30pm

They do not like me, it is a racial/cultural thing sadly. They stopped talking to DH when he told them we were in a relationship and almost did not attend our wedding. They tolerate me now that I gave them grandchildren.

tache · February 2014

I'm 7dp my first iui with clomid and trigger.

weird fact: I hate gum! I can't even be around people chewing it!

Snore: nope and luckily neither does DH

born: 9 am

in laws: ok. My mother in law can be a lot sometimes but for the most part I lucked out. She kind of keeps her nose out of our business which I appreciate.

Holy shit! That is all I got to say, that is STRANGE!

Momarazzi007 · February 2014

@freakyfast- she has come a long way... She now asks how "OUR baby is" instead of "How is MY baby?" And yes she puts emphasis on those words! Lmao!!!

@efhoping2010 seriously on inlaws!!! Wow! Poop on that. Glad they are sort of coming around!

KC1212 · February 2014

@momarrazzi we must have the same MIL. When my SIL got pregnant, my MIL went out and started stocking up on baby supplies and even has (yes still to this day) a crib in her room. And went psycho at my my nieces birth and my SIL told her to "get the fuck out" and it was a huge blow up.

Thankfully, by the time I got pregnant (4 years later) her crazy had calmed some but, I lost my shit at her when she tried to feel my pregnant belly.

Ensue major fight.

I think that was when she realized the crazy possessive shit wasn't gonna fly with me.

My son is 2 and I just now started letting her watch him but, I will not allow him to stay the night until he has the ability to use a phone and call me :P

Oh wow! Hubs made me do an overnight for her, she hid the books for bedtime (they were photo ones I made for her that we read EVERY NIGHT bc she didn't want to read them, didn't let me talk to her when we called to say good night, then didn't know hubs was on speaker phone so I heard - asked him to lie to me about feeding her junk food and tell me she had tea and oatmeal for breakfast. So I have safely been allowed to say no anytime he brings it up. Crazy arse mils!!!! At least we can commiserate...
Did you say she STILL has crib in her room???? @-) 8-}

chrissynena · February 2014

You guys must have my mother in law. I get along with her for the most part, but she def drives me bat shit crazy.

Before DD was born she went out and bought all this stuff for her house. Stroller, newborn diapers, infant car seat???, and lots more. She has not used any of it.

I work full time so the last thing I want to do on my days off are give up my time with my family. When DD was 7-8 months my mil said if I had a pack and play would the baby be able to spend the night? Ummmm no.

She also refers to her as "our baby". I HATE it. She is my baby. Your baby is your son.

Momarazzi007 · February 2014

Oh @chrissynena yes!!! She was asking me how to make a pic of dd her profile pic and I said she should make a pic of HER daughter her profile pic so no one is confused bc MY pic was of MY freaking baby. She about lost it.

Momarazzi007 yes I know, yucky poo poo. I wanted to say good luck on your upcoming fresh IVF, wishing you well!!!

Jen071407 · February 2014

Yikes your MILs sound nutso!

AprilDrew04 · February 2014

Cycle status: week 2 of another break cycle, only 1 more month until we have an idea of where we are going from here. QsOTW: Name one weird fact about yourself. I once had a pet Pygmy goat named Veronica (Vernie for short) who thought she was a dog. What is the best gift you've ever received? I'm not sure. My sister got me cheesecake after DD was born, that was great, and I got scented nail polish once which was pretty cool. I can't really think of any one outstanding gift though. Do you snore? Possibly. I do sometimes talk in my sleep. What time was your child(ren) born? 6:32 PM Do you like your in-laws? I like everyone. My In-laws however hate me and I'm pretty sure are certifiably crazy.

Clagore · February 2014

Cycle day 8. Charting/temping to determine if/when I'm ovulating before returning to RE.

I type out words in my head while I'm talking or when other people are talking. It's like keeping a running transcript at all times. I tend to do it with my fingers when I'm bored also.

My husband built me a hope chest for Christmas the year I was pregnant with DD.

Yes. Yes I do snore. But not too loudly I don't think.

DD at 7:05 pm. DS at 1:18 pm.

I like that they like my kids. And that they are responsible for giving me my husband.
