Whew, I think I'm caught up...

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

My attempt to keep up with messages on the laptop while we were away didn't

last past the first night when I was already more than a day behind, so I

got caught up on all the news today and am replying in one lump, rather than

sending another 10 million messages = ) Our trip was very nice, and the 20

hour drive each direction was beautiful. I'm off work tomorrow and finally

have 3 job interviews with hope of getting out of the hell with florescent

lighting where I have been spending my days getting bitter, especially after

the complete lack of support after the ep. I am forcing myself not to worry

too much quite yet about what will happen if I do get pregnant again shortly

after starting a new job. I have to have faith that it will all work out.

I was good and did my charting even while I was away, the first cycle I've

bothered to chart since the ep in October, so I feel like I am getting back

into the game, even if I o way early in the cycle and probably already

missed my chance this time around.

- Welcome, and I hope that you will find the support that you need

here. I'm glad that the test was wrong...this time anyway = )

R - so glad that AF finally arrived and I hope that the headache thing

gets cleared up because it doesn't sound like much fun. Please let us know

how your friend does...she is fortunate to have such a positive friend to

remind her that one is all it takes.

Dana - I cried when I read about what happened. I was so hoping for you.

But then I got teary again to hear the determination you shared...you are

right, it will happen! I need to hear that kind of hope.

Everyone with puppies - We have a 7 month old Lab/Australian Cattle Dog that

we got at 5 weeks old, and he is *such* a handful, but we are hoping he'll

be a good dog in another few years = )

Keri - I'm sorry that things have been rough for you lately, but hang in

there and keep sharing. If I remember right, we both had the same yucky

surgery and around the same time, so I relate.

Janice - Until recently I still got weird pains in side of my damaged tube

where they did surgery. The ep was in the other one and was removed, but I

remember that side being tender for awhile, too.

- Thank you for asking about the earthquake. We were driving through

Wyoming (from WA state to Colorado) when it came on the radio that it

happened, but it sounds like our area near Portland, OR only shook a little

with no damage. Hope your bladder is feeling better soon, and glad to hear

that you have gotten the go ahead for the HSG.

a - Yay! Congrats! I'm inspired to know that you got pregnant from

a " damaged " tube since that's what I have left after losing the other one

and having surgery on this one. That brings me hope.

Terri - Welcome to you. You mentioned feeling guilt about the ep possibly

being caused by past actions, and I could relate. I was *very* promiscuous

when I was much younger and tried on the feeling guilty thing for awhile

when the doctor said that could be part of it, but I decided that I just

couldn't know that that was the reason for sure and decided not to even go

there. Why beat myself up if I don't know if that's really the reason, and

even if it were, what difference would it make now, anyway... That's just

me, and I like to believe it was not related.

Saskia - I was glad to see your post because I had been wondering how you

were doing. It sounds like a lot of us have times when the ttc and pg talk

can be a bit more than we are up to at the moment, even if we like to hear

the good news, but I am glad that you are still here. Our insurance is

useless if we wanted to do anything with the help of science, too. Like

others have said, and you already said, too, women are here when we need to

talk about the ep, too, and that's a good thing. Some pain, some hope.

- I'm sorry to hear that you were having a rough time. It would be

hard to have both tubes lost, but it's good that we have some success

stories and does make your options a little more straight-forward. Hang in

there.

- Yay! I was so thrilled to hear the good news!!

Darci & - Hoping that the 2ww goes quickly. Waiting can be hard,

but hang in there and ******baby dust******for you both.

Jen - I'm so sorry to hear about your job and your dh's grandfather. I am

finally feeling like I am moving in the right direction of getting our of my

own job that I hate, too, and I wish you the best. I know how draining that

is on top of everything else.

Laurfie (that was in the e-mail address, but I'm not sure what your name

is)? Welcome to the group, and I hope that you will find the support you

need here.
