Hey,

Where is everybody ?????? I know the "Old Hag" is visiting Anne ( and me for that matter ) but what about everybody else ???

Well, just wanted to check in and say that I had a wonderful Birthday. DH made it very special. We went to the Dixie Stampede in Myrtle Beach. The show was great and the food was fantastic. He arranged to have the whole family there without me even knowing. How he pulled that one off, I'll never know. But, we all had a great time. Then, that night , everybody spent the night with us, and the next day, my Mom, MIL, SIL, cooked dinner. I didn't have to do anything. That felt really strange, but nice. So, I had a wonderful weekend and it was really special being able to spend it with family and friends.

Hope everybody else had a great weekend. Talk to you soon!!!! Take care everybody!!!

Hi ladies!

Lisa, sorry to hear about AF. She'll go away soon.

Oli, let's hope you timed the bd-ing and got the egg.

I've been lurking.

Starting to feel better. I think I'll be spotting for a while so I'll have to wait for real AF to show up. Good news, doctor said as soon as my hcg goes to zero we can try again. And we will, without fear.

Wanted to share a good website for great inspiration

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Anne,

Many, many hugs comin' your way girl !!!! You're just having a rough time, aren't you? Well, DH & I had that conversation a few months back if you remember. I had to ask DH if he was gonna be happy with just me if we're not able to get pregnant. And he said yes and that if we couldn't, we would look into adoption----( but that's another whole conversation ). And then, he asked me if I could be happy with just him, and I told him yes. That, I loved him so much and that not being able to have a child was not gonna change that. Sure, we both get disappointed when it doesn't happen, but we go on.

I think it's a little harder for me and you Anne, cause I think we feel like our backs are up against a wall because of our age. I'm so tired of that too !!! I feel so much pressure that it HAS to happen soon or else---------it ain't gonna happen---- and I think that is an incredible pressure to have to deal with. Just the very thought of it scares me, and I think it scares you too, that it may not happen, that we may have waited too late. Oh how I hope and pray we haven't !!!!! God does have a plan,unfortunately, we just don't know what it is and whether or not it is a plan that includes children. I hope it does, but if it doesn't, I AM prepared to accept that. Will I be hurt--YES! Will I be devastated---Yes!!! But, I love my DH dearly, and we will be together and get through it together. I know you and your DH will get through this little rough spot. I'm sure our DH's sometimes just don't know how to deal with our emotions. I think they hurt and are just as disappointed as we are when it doesn't happen, but they just show it differently than we do. Stay strong!!!!! And keep the lines of communication open with your DH, you definitely don't want to lose that---- and I would not stop sharing my feelings with him either. Maybe it might help if he's a little more open with you about his feeling and emotions. Just keep talking--- yall will be fine!!!

Take care and if you need me , I'm here!!!!!

Hey guys,

Sorry I'm so late again today. I've been on the road all day traveling to North Louisiana and am pretty pooped but am looking forward to watching Gilmore Girls alone in my hotel room. DH and I usually watch it together so I'm really gonna miss him tonite. I'm 7dpo and absolutely no symptoms this month.. not even thinking about it to be honest. Lisa and Anne, I'm 38, 39 in November, remember? I have faith that it will happen for all of us when the time is right.

Paulette, I'm happy to see you post. I know you've been through a really hard month and am keeping you in my prayers.

Glad to hear from everyone else as well. I'll try to catch up with everyone Thursday when I'm back in the office.

I just moved down into the two week wait. I am trying not to stress, even though we will probably go on hold after this cycle if we don't get a BFP. :(

I am planning on testing on Nov. 4th.

I have felt strange the last couple of days, so I hope everything is ok. Last night I was really tired when I got home from work (nothing new there) and laid down. I fell asleep for about 3 hours, then got up around 8:40. I couldn't get back to sleep until 4am! I had awful heartburn and gas (I know, tmi). Then today my stomach felt sore all day. Well, at least dh and I got in an extra bd at 3am, just in case! LOL
