    MistyFying - Thanks for always looking over us, and for making nice new threads for us

    Toccara - The extra hugs were lovely! You can never have to many cuddles

    Babyfever
    - I'm really sorry to hear about your grandpa. Take good care of your mum and grandma, they are going to need you through this tough time.

    Jen nuff
    - I see your stern words to your temp worked and it's jumped up again! WHOO HOO!

    Angel nuff
    - Fingers crossed for friday!!! Apparently the restaurant I was talking about is owned or run by a friend of my sister in laws, so I'll get the name and exact address.

    - If your temp is still down, is there any chance that you are still to ovulate considering that you bled for so long? Maybe you should bd every couple of days just in case. Wouldn't want to miss the boat I'm hoping really hard that your body is "martha", because if it's "arthur" then I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is

    - I've had my gall bladder removed too. It too 3 doctors and 2 1/2 years for them to finally work out what was wrong with me!!! Turns out I had a a single whopping stone in my gall bladder that was completely blocking my cystic duct. No wonder it hurt so bad! Unfortunately pain killers make me extremely ill, so I had none after surgery. Ouchies. Actually, as long as I didn't move of sit up it was ok. The worst thing was the referred pain I felt in my shoulder from the CO2 left in my abdomen irritating my diaphram. It hurt so bad that I couldn't sit up for about 4 days because everytime I raised up the gas would go up to my diaphram again! Grrrrr.

    Rachel - No fair! I want to go to an island!!!

    - I had my acupuncture appointment today and it was absolutely fantastic!!! My acupuncturist has moved to a new location which is easier to get to, and is now working with another lady that does massage and chinese "stuff" that I don't totally understand.

    Anyway, my acupuncturist chatted to me about how things are going, and then did my acupuncture. Then the other lady came in and did some stuff with this thing that looked like a fat black crayon that was red hot on one end. She would put the end against some of the acupuncture needles to heat them up. She also did something to the underneath of my feet too, but I couldn't see what. I asked her what it was, and she said it was mugwort (I think...). She started explaining more about it, but I forget because I got sidetracked thinking that it sounded like something from Harry Potter...

    Then she did a nice back massage. And then she even did some stone massage. It was sooooo super nice and relaxing!

    During that time my acupuncturist made up all my herbs. I have so start taking them the day after tomorrow (CD4) and then on CD10 I mix some more herbs in with the ones I start with. Then on CD14 I switch to a different group of herbs. I just know they will all taste disgusting, but I don't care if it gets me my little earth baby!

    fifi--Good luck with today's BT results!



    Babyfever--Glad to hear you're taking care of your mom and G-ma during this tough time! Probably a good thing that G-ma is distracted by cooking and cleaning, as it will help her deal with her grief. It's never an easy time for the ones left behind You and your family are in my thoughts and I pray that G-pa blesses you with a BFP at the end of your TWW!



    issy--Maybe your cycle is just screwy after bleeding for so long--could it just be a really long cycle, and maybe you just haven't O yet? Maybe since AF lasted so long last time, it's pushing back your O and expected AF date... either way, it's not over yet--if you check thru the chart gallery, there's plenty of BFP's at the end of a extra long cycle, so my for you!



    chappas--Hope you enjoy your hols!! Be safe and have fun!



    Easha--I've been noticing changes in my temps each month, as well! You would think they would be fairly similar, but seems like each month my temps are just completely different! And you're right, it does look like I O'ed much earlier this month--maybe that's been my problem, maybe I've been O'ing earlier than I thought, so wasn't getting the BD timing right! Who knows... Yeah, I'm with you, I think you've got a much better chance than "good" for conception this month with day before and day after O! :goodluck2: I've got everything crossed for you!

    Rachel--Hope you enjoy your trip to Lanzarote! Be safe and have a blast! Congrats, btw, on working at stables on Sunday!



    Krystie--Yep, told my temps and FF that I wasn't taking any cr@p this month--they better behave or suffer my wrath! *evil*

    So happy for you that you were able to get in for an early appt with A! The massage part of it sounds lovely! The pins and the herbs leave little to be desired! Although if your earth baby is the outcome, then I guess there's plenty to be desired--and totally worth it! I commend you for your dedication!

    Dinner sounds great on Fri--I'm just waiting for my ticket in the mail so I can join you girls! Didn't you know, you aren't allowed to only meet 1 Nuff at a time? Don't forget your camera--I wanna see a pic of my partner's in crime together in the gallery!!



    smi-- girl!! :goodluck2: for this cycle! I guess we'll be starting the May babies trend, eh? My EDD will be 5/1/09 if I get a BFP this month! Bring on the May babies! :crossfinges:



    Angel--my other half of Nuff--Hope you're enjoying the snow! Be safe and have a great time! Missed chatting with you this am!
