wow guys- i go away to vegas for a week and 2 of you get pregnant!

Elaine- wow, huge congrats- i teared up reading your post, i only prayed for good things for you. i am so so happy for you!!!!

Mindy- same for you- huge congrats!!!

Carla- good luck with the potential real estate lead!!

nennie- welcome aboard!

Lisa- i actually have done scrapbooks for my sister. she is not organized and wouldn't have a baby book if i hadn't done one for her. so i did them for her as gifts and she loved them. i also did one as a bridal shower thing for a good friend, but never thought of doing them beyond that. definitely a great idea as many folks are like my sister and simply aren't crafty and just wouldn't have a nice scrapbook if someone didn't do it for them! it's worth a shot!

Minnesota- first congrats on your little blessing- sweet NOah! so sorry about the complications, but glad he is doing better now and you and your family will remain in my prayers.

Rebecca- that full feeling is common on clomid- you are possibly making more than one egg, maybe 2 or 3 or even 4. so your ab area or uterus area will feel more full since you are on a drug to stimulate ovulation....it is just how it is. you might even feel bloated too. but that is a good sign that maybe you are making more than one egg, which is good. let us know how it goes!

as for me- hanging in there- i am 9 weeks today. was in vegas for work all last week and was miserably sick the whole time. i told the guys i work with i had a stomach bug. i sat inthe booth the whole time, which is a big no no. i leave again monday for orlando for a week for a show. ugh. but i actually feel better today. i didn't even have zofran the last two days since i was fighting the insurance on prescribing more since they only allow 10 pills per month (i was taking 2 a day!). i got that fixed and can pick up my refill today finally though. but maybe i will start to see a turning point soon and the m/s will diminish. til then, i am doing my best to eat when i can. i know if my stomach gets empty, it gets worse. so i force myself to eat. it is so hard. after struggling and doing IVF to get here, i was hoping things would be easier in pregnancy, no such luck. oh well! i'll just tough through it, millions of women have dealt with it for centuries of most of them had no zofran! lol......well heading home to nap!

oh and Denise- did you test?
 
Carla: Congrats!!! So excited for you :cool1: Let us know how it goes with your first client :thumbsup2 It sounds like you have a great group of co-workers!!!

Michelle: So sorry your vegas trip was so uncomfortable. I'm glad you were able to get your meds and hope you are feeling better soon :hug: Thanks for the info. I'm actually 7dpo so I better not be ovulating again :laughing:

Anywho I'm just being whiney and I need to get out of my funk. My spirts were lifted when I got the mail and saw my info for the Magical Express!!!! Only 26 days to go!!!!
 
Carla that is awesome. It is so exciting when something finely works. So where should I advertise????

You could start small and inexpensive with flyers in the places where you target market go. Even go house to house in your neighborhood and leave flyers on doors. If there are small local newspapers you could place an ad in them. Word of mouth is always a great start. A custom decal for you car could work.
 

Lisa, you could get some nice business cards made at Staples and post them places....pizza places, supermarkets. I plan to post my business cards around the area on bulletin boards. Then, you can pass them to anyone you run into when you happen to casually mention your new venture. :goodvibes

Michelle, are you getting the generic Zofran or the ODT? The new generic Zofran is usually more accepted than the ODT when it comes to the off-label emesis use. Ironically, I was involved in a case about Zofran (nothing bad, don't worry....I still take it!) and got to learn all about it and why the insurance companies treat it this way. It's not due to cost, it's because the FDA approved use of it only calls for 8-10 pills at a time. I've been taking Compazine and Phenergan, too, and those work OK and are easier to obtain - although my insurance was perfectly fine filling my script for 60 generic Zofran. I hope you feel better soon. I've been sick for 22 weeks now and it is NOT fun, but it's worth it!

I'm still waiting to hear about the lead. I'm going to send DH to work with a pamphlet about the 10 Mistakes Buyers Make with my info on the back. Basically, they have 5 appointments to see houses on Saturday. I figure, they can look on their own and, if they don't find anything, they'll probably be calling me. I know my office wants me to be aggressive, but if they want my help, they'll call. If they find a home on their own Saturday, good for them. Maybe I'm too laid back for this profession. I just don't have that go-for-the-gut-drive-them-nuts-until-they-hire-you thing going on. :rotfl:
 
I am soo excited...I have been reading the posts and have not had a chance to post as much but here's the update: the are doing the egg retreval from our donor on thursday, which means DH has his appt thursday for his contribution to the cause!

:rotfl: I like that!
Best wishes with the transfer. Do keep us updated!

Michelle, I am so sorry it has been so rough for you with being sick, especially while away. Thanks for the good wishes... I so appreciate the thoughts and prayers. Funny thing is this time I have few symptoms compared to before. I will actually take any differences this time as a good thing ;)

Rebecca, feel free to whine away. I couldn't even imagine taking drugs like that... I can't really fathom what it would do physically, but I know it cannot be easy. Hang in there and hopefully you'll have your BFP soon.

Carla, in all honesty, I would have offered to take them to all teh homes this weekend. If they are going w/o an agent, then they might appreciate having you there to talk to and ask questions. That's just my thoughts after we bought our house 6 years ago. We had a friend from church help us out and he didn't find the houses as much as just give moral support. Good luck with it all though.

Yeah!!! How exciting!!! I hope everything goes smoothly for all involved and you get a BFP!!! :wizard:
 
oh and Denise- did you test?

Yep.





























BFP!!!!!!!!!!

I finally decided to share with you girls. DH wants me to wait on others. Guess when I found out....April Fool's Day!! Is that funny? I thought I was going to pass out when I peed on the stick and watched the positive sign taking shape. It was a dull line, but it was there. Tested the next morning and it was there again and darker! :goodvibes I can't believe it only took one cycle. DH and I celebrated Passover yesterday and what a wonderful way to do it along with our close friends. I probably won't tell most of them till I make it out of my first trimester. My first trimester...:faint:...did I just type that? :rolleyes1 I've been a peepot today and nauceous on an off. The matzah helps though. I can't eat anything with yeast or leaven for the next week, so it will have to do til April the 10th. I had a pap scheduled on April 10 and I called them and told them that I tested positive and they changed me to new OB...wow...OB. Got to be something in the DIS water...me, Helenabear, Ash, and MindyGirl. WOO HOO!! :woohoo: :cool1: :cheer2: I had already shared with two of the girls here in PM but I just had to tell the rest of you. You've all been wonderful with your encouragement and words of wisdom. Looks to me like I'm going to have a Chanukah baby! I CAN'T WAIT!!
 
Congrats Denise :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

This has been a great month for BFPs. I think I'm out this month. I had the tiniest of spots last night. Just as I was about to have a good cry and move on to next month, I realized it was way to early. Only 8 dpo. Not due for another 6 days. Then it occured to me that it could be implantation bleeding. No crying, lots of woo hooing. But I am still having the lightest of spotting today. Since it's there every time I went today, I don't think it's implantation bleeding. It's not AF. I can't figure out what it is. Oh well, it's not over until the witchy one sings, but I don't think this will be my month:confused:.

Lisa: I thought of some advertising ideas. Contact Neighborhood associations and advertise in their newsletters. It's not that expensive, and it's probably your target audience. You could also go to the local family photo place and see if they will let you set up some advertising material. All those pics need to go in some kind of an album.

I'm heading to bed. I am exhausted. I didn't sleep a wink last night. Couldn't decide if I should be excited or dread what the morning would bring. Spent today obsessively waiting for AF, but she never showed. Arrrr! What is going on?! Have a great night!

Jennifer
 
Congrats. Wish I could say the same for myself. I have to go in for surgery since I'm just not getting pregnant. :(

Wish I could be the one to start the "boo-bay watch" again... :(
 
Denise- Wow!!!!! Congrats. I've been emotional all day, and nauseated. I was talking to my mom earlier and I was like "I wish I hadn't told anyone until I was out of the first trimester because I'm so scared that something will happen and...." You get the point. She told me to calm down and enjoy being pregnant, which I haven't even been able to do yet because i've been so paranoid.


Gurgi... :hug:

What I bolded is the very reason why I haven't told anyone but you ladies here on the DIS. I have nothing but good feelings about this pregnancy and I don't think I'm going to really believe it til I feel him kick the first time...and yes...I believe it's a boy! ;) Couldn't care one way or the other so long as Baby Watson is healthy! I probably won't share the news til June, which by my notes would be the end of my first trimester. We'll tell DH's mom within the next few days, but she'll be the only one who knows. Keep calm Ash, stay positive, think nothing but positive, and remember there's a little life growing inside of you that feels everything you do...so don't stress him or her out. I'm here if you need to chat. :thumbsup2

Hang in there and thank you soooooooo much for the PM.

Implantation bleeding?? I'm sorry, are you IVF? Forgive me for forgetting, so many ladies, so many stories. :) Stay positive...I did....and with all the pregnant ladies I saw coming in to have lunch at Ruby's or with their newborns it wasn't easy. PM me is you ever just want to vent...I'm here. Thanks again for your sweet PM. ;)
