The New,New Hotel Thread-Yes, We're STILL Waiting

[mouselovr]

Does that mean I have to stick around and see if I can win? I have to sleep sometime today to go to work tonight but we will all be online trying to win there!so maybe one of us will get lucky then.

to those who had the clock time out on them before it should have, and didn't get a deal as a result of that, have any of you called LMT and spoke to them about it? If so, what did they say?

they said they never sent out anything under 5 minutes & theres no way they can see what happened on any persons computer so basically 'too bad'-

my heart goes out to you, i married my husband at 19(now 36) and soon after found out i had PCOS. by the grace of God(and some modern med) i have 2 girls, but we have tried 4 years for a third w/meds and iui. (thought i had cancer before i got preg.w/no.1 and was told maybe never...tried 2.5 years for second w/meds) i am truly blessed, but my heart still aches for what could be, I think it is wonderful that there is a thread for that type thing. good luck on getting your room from LMT and God Bless

Thanks I can't say I've completely given up. But, for my own sanity I had to get off the fertility/adoption roller coaster, know what I mean? We've done doctors and even tried adoption but the mom changed her mind last minute. It was heartbreaking but at least it wasn't after the baby was born. I'm afraid my DH is a bit scarred and bitter after that ordeal. There are three threads over there dealing w/ childlessness. One is a group who have never wanted children. They're a nice bunch but it's different because we wanted children so our feelings are different from that group. The other thread is for people who are childless not by choice but are still trying so much of the conversations are about latest treatments or adoptions or disappointments. My heart breaks for them all because I know first hand the pain but I had to distance myself from that because it will make you crazy. I became obsessed with having a baby and it wasn't healthy for me or my marriage.
Then there was this new thread but like I said, it's kind of dying. Another gal and myself were trying to keep it going but it's kind of hard when there are only two of you. It started out so good too.
Anyway, that's our story.

I have been there! i had a severe case of endometriosis and tried for 5 years before the first one. Then we tried for 4-5 years for the 2nd one. I had an ovary removed b/c the pain was so bad and then they told me after( darn MD) that my other tube was blocked 100%. My DS 5 at the time never stopped praying for a little sister. On Thnaksgiving of 2005 I found out I was preg with our little miracle and she truely was I had switched MDs by then and he said well someone must have had other plans for you because you are having one regardless now. So don't give up hope! I believe in the power of prayer and Gods timing is always perfect!

What does this mean? I have been trying since the end of last week to get in on this with no luck. What does this refer to? Can someone point me in the right direction?

I had read this way back somewhere on these boards to check every now and then and so I just click on press release down at the bottom of any page At LMT to make sure it is on Jan 6th 2008 press release and not the aug 04 or what ever it reverts to. I just checked again and it had reverted back so I cleared my cookies and it is back to Jan 6th. I have no idea if it really makes any difference but at this point, I am willing to do anything...
Let me know if it still doesnt make sense

Good morning, everyone!


It is 9 am here in wet and windy Los Angeles, and I'm now here back with you guys trying for a room.

Yes, I know I got one already last week but this time I'm in the hunt for someone else. I'm walking someone through this and I hope to help them get a room, too.

So, did anyone win anything between last night and this morning? I have a TON of posts to read!

Good morning (although it's afternoon here on the East coast)

Lots of ppl appear to have won during the 1:30 am - 6:45 am time slot..... while I was sleeping. Darn it, I got up at 6:45! LOL!

But.... LMT says it's not over YET. I don't know what to do... my DH wants a "date night" tonight, ROFL.

There were a few winners during the night but nothing since about 6:30 am EST from what I understand

I'd take the date night! At least you'll be getting something

yeah,we had a friends brother/wife (who knew we wanted another child) give their baby to some people in Wash., when he was 6 months old!we might try a Panama adoption as my husband is Panamanian.but i am going back to try some more meds first.but you are right it is a roller coaster and i am sure even worse for those who are in your situation w/ ttc fist child. lots of luck to both(there is a verse in the Bible that says the Lord will make the barren woman a keeper of a home and children and when i get discouraged i look it up and pray about it, and cry) lots of hugs and luck to you, and if you get a $1 room, maybe that will help you relax and recoup, we all need time away!hugs and luck!

I heard this theory too but not until after I SAW the timer (yes, virginia, it does exist). when I checked it was the 2004 date. After clearing cookies, I got 2008 but no ticker since then. Now it's back to 2004, I'm just going to leave it!

I think it is completly luck because otherwise the rest of us still waiting and trying all the suggestions from others would have been sucessful by now.

Change of topic:

If you don't normally frequent the Budget Board, where are you normally found on the Dis?

Right now I am on the DVC site a lot because we are trying to decide if we should buy DVC. I gotta admit that if I get a room for free, my DH is gonna be a little bit closer to saying NO to DVC, so I am thinking maybe it may be a good thing if I don't win.

Nahhh, I'm lying to myself!

 

[Handbag Lady]

I'm so sorry to read about people's troubles in getting pregnant. My heart goes out to you all. We are also childless and I'd really like to have one or two. But, the in-vitro stuff is far too expensive for us so we haven't explored any of it.

For us, it just isn't meant to be and we're slowly starting adoption discussions. At least our company covers most of those costs. And then, we go back to maybe we're okay without a child, so anyway, that's where we are.

I wish all of you peace and happiness in that vein. I know our discussions have been heated, so I can't imagine the stress having procedures do to increase the strains.

Thats easy, just tell him you are available at 12 midnight when the competition ends!!

To Whom It Concerns...i Have Had The Timer 2x. I Am In Pa On The East Coast. I Was Online For Hours When It Happened...i Was Not Logging In And Out...i Never Cleared Any Cookies And I Was Refreshing(although Not Constantly).....it Just Worked...i Hope It Works Again.....

I just had to chime in that I really feel for those of you trying to have kids. We had no problem getting pregnant, just staying pregnant. I now have 3 beautiful boys (bio) and we adopted a little girl from Ethiopia. If anyone looks into adoption, look at Ethiopia. You can adopt a young baby and they are absolutely beautiful!!
Good luck to all of you!

That's what I have, endometriosis. I've also had a tube and ovary removed because of the pain.

yeah,we had a friends brother/wife (who knew we wanted another child) give their baby to some people in Wash., when he was 6 months old!we might try a Panama adoption as my husband is Panamanian.but i am going back to try some more meds first.but you are right it is a roller coaster and i am sure even worse for those who are in your situation w/ ttc fist child. lots of luck to both(there is a verse in the Bible that says the Lord will make the barren woman a keeper of a home and children and when i get discouraged i look it up and pray about it, and cry) lots of hugs and luck to you, and if you get a $1 room, maybe that will help you relax and recoup, we all need time away!hugs and luck!

One time I was crying and crying and crying when I was in the throes of ttc and DH came in trying to console me. I looked up at him w/ tears just pouring down my face and I said, "Do you want to know why Hannah was weeping?? I'll tell you why Hannah was weeping!! Do you want to know why Rachel said, 'Give me children, or else I die.'? I'll tell you why!!!!"
But in the end, they all went on to have children. Well, that's what DH told me that day. And he's right but I will be ok if it doesn't happen. I don't think I would have been able to say that 5 years ago.

 

[simonsmom]

okay -I'm back frm doing my errands. What have I missed since 9am? anyone win? LMT owes me-well... for lots of hours of frustration but also because I was just rushing to get back home to "refresh" and got pulled over for not coming to a complete stop! He just gave me a warning but gosh...
