    Best sandals for parks?

    I second the Patricia crocs and you can get them with or without the heel strap. I have them in black, brown and eggplant and wear them to work everyday in the summer.

    Thanks for all the comments ladies, it really means a lot to know I have a support group here. I went in last week to see where by hcg levels were and it was down to an 8 so when I go back in 2 weeks it should be back to zero. Also met with the lung doctor and my lungs are pretty much cleared...

    Hi Girls Sorry I have been MIA I have had a lot going on. To recap I did a fresh IVF cycle in Jan and March both BFN. We had 5 frosties so on April 17th we thawed them and 3 survived and we transferred all 3. 8 days later I found out I was pregnant. At 6 weeks I had some light bleeding...

    OT- Chandelier in 2 story foyer

    The lift's are expensive, we installed one for our foyer chandelier when we built our house. Makes it very easy to change lights and clean. Plus at Christmas I hang my huge Mickey icon ear ornaments from it and decorate it with garland. Everyone always ask how did you get those up there? Of...

    Does anybody else here order their meds through CVS Caremark Speciality Pharmacy? Until this year I always ordered through Walgreens Specialty but my husband's employer switched to CVS this year and I am not impressed at all with their customer service. It has taken over 10 days to process...

    Definitely Quality! I had the same feelings when they only retrieved 13 eggs as my RE had predicted they would retrieve 25 when I went in for the initial consult and was then disappointed only 6 made it but she made me realize it's quality not quantity. Got my fingers crossed for you! I had...

    As expected it's a BFN :sad1: - so I am starting the birth control pills this week and moving on to IVF cycle #2. I was extremely pissed off for a couple of days which isn't like me at all as I rarely get mad but I am coming to terms with it and determined to move on. I am also supposed to...

    Well I think it's over for me. A HPT test on 6dp5dt and today at 8dp5dt were both negative. Then today I started bleeding and it's bright red so I don't have too much hope. My first beta was today which they don't call with the results and then I have my second one on Saturday, so I'll have...

    Thanks! Yep 3! My RE said if I was 32 years old she would only do 2 but since I am 38 she was perfectly fine with transferring 3. I will be testing before the blood work as I am too impatient to wait until next Saturday. Those of you have gone through IVF isn't the no BDing for almost a...

    Hey Girls I am enjoying the last of my "princess" days as my Dr refers to them before I am allowed to return back to work tomorrow. The transfer yesterday went great. We had 2 blastocysts and when we consulted with the Dr before the transfer and told her we wanted to transfer 3 the lab...

    I spoke too soon on the pill inserts of the progesterone after about 10-11 hours it comes out too in a sticky white mess. I am taking them morning and night. I got a call back today on the embies. They grade them 1-3 with 1 being the best. I have: 1 at grade 1, 8 cell 3 at grade 2, 7...

    Well I wasn't quite ready for the egg retrieval today so it's scheduled for tomorrow. The u/s tech was really pleased with my follicles yesterday and I triggered last night. I am more scared and nervous since this will my first IVF and not quite knowing how I am going to feel afterward. DH...

    Is there an "ellie badge" that you can buy?

    you can find handmade ones on ebay, I bought several from one seller (I think her name was sodagirls) anyway they were much better than the ones they currently sell at Disney where the paint peels off or the one you could get through the Disney movie club, plus it has a functional safety pins so...

    Welcome to all the new ladies who have recently joined us! Update on me: I went in yesterday for my u/s and had around 20 follicles, so it looks like I may still be on schedule for the egg retrieval on Thurs. which would work out great with work and the holiday weekend so that I don't have...

    I will probably take 2 days off for the retrieval if needed. My Dr. requires "princess" bed rest days for after the transfer, 2 days of rest if a 3 day and 1 day if a 5 day. Tomorrow I start the Lupron injections and baby aspirin then Sunday add in the Bravelle and Menopur injections. I...

    Yeah for 2 lines!!! So excited for you Cher! I got some good news today from the Dr's office. My beta is finally negative after the miscarriage and since I am on my next cycle after bleeding the RE said I can go ahead and do IVF in January instead of waiting until March. So I start the...
