Well i sit here thinking about all the time and money i have spent doing this and yesterday when i was walking out of my old job (a printing co i use for my clients orders) i just remembered my 3 yr anniversary was yesterday. Not one single BFP> NOT 1! This is so depressing. BUT DH had gotten good news yesterday as well, The owner of a dealership had called him back and wants to talk about pay plan. I guess he is going to hire him. He will be making almost double, if not more than what he is getting now and DH told me he wants me to go to school to brush up on my graphics skills and go for business management for my business too. So this will keep me busy. While i am excited about this change, i am just so down about my anniversary. I have not reminded DH of what yesterday was.. cuz it will only make me cry. I didnt want to rain on his parade with the good news he got.
Rachet- great news! You only need one to get preggers. Good luck sweetie.>?
Betty, glad to hear your test went well. good luck.
Kelly, thanks for the input. I saved your email. I am pretty busy these days, and my comp at home is down temporarily, so i will catch up with ya soon as i get it up and running again.

Michele and Mercy - I am so sorry the ol'witch found you both
Susan, you have email from me.
Linda, how frustrated you must be! I so hope the next couple weeks speed by for you, so you get to see your little one(s) tucked in safe and sound
The weather here seems to have finally decided its Spring. Yesterday was beautiful, and I puttered around in the garden planting Fuscias. I think I'll head back to the garden shop today and buy a few more plants
Not much else going on - staying busy and trying not to think too much about the next cycle.

Unfortunatly I wanted to post, Im 40, and they did repair ONE TUBE, was nice and long, will find out everything next week, I will call, but the other tube was not repairable. Need encouraging words please. I feel sad
I feel as if I am back from the living dead. Between this tax season, where everyone & his dead brother wanted to file (economic stiumulus plan), and the walking pnemonia. who...
Linda - sorry for the no ultrasound yet, you must be so frustrated!
Kay - It is very sad to see your DD leave again. I know what the mothers heart feels like, Hugs to you girl!

Hi Ladies- Just posting an update for the over 40 crowd.
Had my 1st official OB appointment yesterday at 8w4d and still have no further information. Four weeks ago the dr told me he would perform an u/s at this time, only to let me down by stating that his machine couldn't see anything before 10 weeks and to make an appointment for 2 weeks. His nurse half heartedly tried for about 3 seconds to find the heartbeat and again said it was just too early to waste the time.
Although I am consumed with the m/s, I'm still fearful that the pg might not be viable and the only thing sustaining it is the prometrium. So, I will be living in limbo for another 2 weeks.

Hi Peach, I was reading about your painful clotting. I had that to for a long time until I radically changed my diet. I saw a big difference after 4 month. My hormones seem more in balance. The clotting has gone away, my periods are normal, Te pain is less,the acne I was getting on my neck and back is pretty much gone. I have less PMS, and a lot more energy I just thought I'd share. If you want more info email me at kelkle66 at earthlink dot net
Sorry I haven't posted in a day or so. My mom became really ill the day I had my testing done and I've been with her night and day trying to make sure she is going to be ok.
My test went well. I had a small flow on each side when he started the test and then he did a second tube of dye and they really flowed then. I was expecting the worst in pain and while it wasn't something I would want to do everyday it wasn't horrible. When he pushed the first tube of dye thru - it was like having really bad cramps - just no warning ahead of time -- I had to do the breath, breath, breath Betty thinking so I didn't become sick -- the second round of dye wasn't as painful. I took some tylenol ahead of time and that helped and he did a novacaine injection to help ease the pain. My OB/GYN is awesome though -- his first name is Van and he has actually stopped delivery babies - and I've assured him that if we do become pregnant - he is coming out of baby retirement and delivering this one -- He said after the test -- now you know - this child's name will have to include Van or Vanessa somewhere in it.
He suggested that I not do anything as far as IVF for the next 2-3 months - he said lots of times there is debris in the tubes or that they are small and with the dye test - it can sometimes push the debris (if there is any) out of the tubes and the tubes can actually expand (like Popeye's arm was his example) and that if conceiving is a possibility it is more likely to happen within this time frame. So if AF shows her ugly face this month - which I am counting as month 1 - then we will do IUI next month - month 2 and then if that fails -we will move to IVF -- It will be a year for me in May and we all know age is not rewinding for me -if anything it seems to be in fast forward motion -
My age and DF's sperm factor working together makes us be more aggresive at this time. Sometimes I wonder why God didn't put DF in my life 20 yrs ago - I mean - I wouldn't take ANYTHING for my girls and I wouldn't undo any of my life in that aspect - but DF is so perfect for me and it's as if God created him for me - but I know it wasn't in his plans for that to happen then - and we just work with the time frame we have now. My OB/GYN said when he was doing the test and we were talking about how easy it was to get pregnant when we were younger - he said - yes- remember when we thought sitting in a Chevy and kissing a boy would make us pregnant ... lol
CD12 for me and a 2 bar day -- waiting on that 3rd one
Anyway - enough about me --
Kay -- I know it will be so hard when your daughter goes back to duty. I am sure you guys have had a wonderful time. It's amazing regardless of how old they get to be -- it's hard when they leave -- something about the love of a mother and her children. I'll keep you in my thoughts as she gets ready to leave and will also keep her in my prayers for a safe journey there and for her safety. Tell her how proud we are of her!!!!!!!!!
Michele -- Glad your tax season is over -- Girlfriend - take your shoes off - get you a cold drink with one of those cute little umbrellas in it - have a day for yourself and just pamper you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve it!!! Glad you're doing well also! Miss seeing you post of the board!!
Debs -- thanks so much for your good wishes!!! I appreciate it tremendously. I understand about waiting for the HSG - that's what I did too -- I thought about it at 6 months - but decided I'd keep my fingers cross and hope for a BFP before the year was up -- so now I've focusing on positive thoughts and state of mind! Hope you are doing well too!!
Emmie - Hope you're doing well! Hope the root canal is better and you're back on the road of recovery!!!
Everyone else that I missed -- Hope you're doing well!
Ratchet - best of luck on your surgery too!!
Gorgeous weather here in NC -- supposed to be mid 70's - so I'm outside working in the flowers -- it's my 'therapy' time as DF says - anytime I clean extensively or work in the yard -he always says-- I know you're trying to unstress - that man knows me too well!!!
Baby dust to all my TR sisters! Hope your afternoon is wonderful!!! Check in with you ladies later! Betty
And no, you don't have to have open tubes to do IVF - just have to make sure there is no infection if your tubes are blocked before going fwd.
I'm hanging in there - Tues. my dd headed back to Iraq. It was even harder than I thought it would be. She'll be there another 10 months. Yesterday I had meetings and a luncheon to attend. Today I'm going to try to get my house back in order; the guest room cleaned and putter around in the garden if the weather will cooperate

Good News , I went in today for my Pre-Op, and the Dr told me that she received my records from 1992, and that there was only like just a small section taken out, She said either 1 inch or 1 Centimeter, I\'m not sure which, I was so excited It slipped my mind, she said it was only a small bit that they noted in my records that they took, anyways she was going in with a camera at first to make sure it could be repaired, but after reading the old reports she said she doesn\'t have to do that now. She will just go ahead as planned with surgery! YAY My surgery is scheduled for 6:45 am Friday morning, have prescriptions in hand and ready to go!!! YAY
Betty, I truly hope all went well! To everyone else! Happy Day all.
Another tax season is behind us! Thank God it is over, this was one of my toughest one's yet. Our office is now closed until next Monday. We all need our mini vacation!
