(((Mrs. M))) I'm thinking of you a lot too. Thanks for the update and here's to a very fertile March!! It can only be a good omen that it's your birthday month...and mine too. Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000

You sure you want a Capricorn? Capricorns tend to be pessimistic, rigid, overly conventional, miserly and fatalistic.
On the other hand, they are also practical, prudent, ambitious, disciplined, patient, careful, humorous and reserved.
Isn't it amusing that if you are born on December 20 you are fatalistic and pessimisic, when if you'd only been born hours earlier, you'd be blindly optimistic?
Other traits for Sagittarius include careless, irresponsible, superficial, tactless, and restless. The good ones are optimistic, freedom-loving, jovial, good-humored, honest, straightforward, intellectual, and philosophical.

Mrs M, I think of you and Andrew quite often. I hope everything will be OK for you. I even have a stupid advice for you : hot flashes are know to make sweat, right ? Well, I just bought the best deodorant in the world, nearly no odour of itself but you can't smell your own either, so if you think you could need it, send me an e-mail and I'll send you the name.

Mrs.M, when in March? Jenni and I are both March babies....
I was looking for you after the Pats game. Oddly enough I couldn't find any Steelers fans for a while after it. Hmmmm, go figure.
That is what happens when 2/3 of the Pats are healthy.
Just think how many interceptions there would have been if Ty Law had been healthy too...
Honestly, it was a win-win game for me. I am glad to see the Steelers do so well this year, it has been a long time coming, hasn't it? I think they have a real winner there with their quarterback, and the future look pretty bright for them.
Just not this year!
Good luck in March, it seems to be a lucky month around here.

Mrs. M, I grow organic red raspberry leaf and dry it-I brew it by the pitcher and keep it in the fridge. If you'd like some, I can send you some of this year's crop and a nice linen teabag.

Mrs. M I really hope everything goes well for you in March, I am sorry about the cyst. I missed it, but what surgery are you going to have if everything does not work out?
Side Note: Will someone please respond to one of my posts. The only ones who bother are Mr. Porteiro Head and Beverly, and that is because they know me. I have been reading posts at Hatrack since 2002, so I feel like I know everyone. I realize you don't know me because I am a terrible poster, but I feel very shunned and I don't know what I did wrong.
Mrs. M, I am very sorry to put that bit in my post because it has nothing to do with your fertility odyssey. I feel like I have committed a huge faux pas, but I am frustrated. Just so you know, I really am infertile, my husband and I have been trying to become parents for over 8 years (We have been approved for adoption for almost five years but have not yet had a child placed in our home). I really do have PCOS. Maybe my comments aren't helpful. I just feel like I've been there, done that and I want to help by letting you know that someone else on Hatrack has been where you are.

Don't worry about it, 4ever, I'm sure she appreciates your thoughts, having gone through some of this yourself.
I would start a new thread about the other stuff (although I think someome has done that for you, if you look at the front page)if you want to discuss it more, though.

Sorry for the delay in responding, y'all, but Andrew came home yesterday and I was busy welcoming him back.
skrika03, I wore Andrew's t-shirts when he was gone. They come to my knees b/c he's so tall and are very, very unflattering. Comfortable, though.
Cool, Narnia. I'm the 9th, when are you?
Kayla, I think Andrew's a Capricorn - he's Jan. 9th. He's pretty optimistic, though, and very impatient.
Thanks, Nicole. Not much longer till the terrible twos, huh? Good luck.
Thanks, Anna. Actually, I have a condition where I barely sweat. It's crummy, because my body can't cool itself down. I've passed out from heat exhaustion more times than I can count (once on a NYC bus - yuck). I'd still like to know about the deoderant, though - all the ones I can find are heavily scented, which I hate.
Kwea, I was walking around in a daze, trying to figure out what happened. I have never seen anything like that game. Next year. So we're up to 4 March Hatrack birthdays. Cool.
Belle
dread pirate romany, that is such a kind offer and I think I am going to take you up on it! Thank you!
School4ever, we do know that there's a chance that we'll never have a biological child. We're going to adopt a little girl from China. We plan to do that whether or not we do have biological child, because it's very, very unlikely that I'll be able to have more than 1 successful pregnancy and we want more than 1 child.
You haven't committed a faux pas at all. I'm glad that you spoke up and I'm sorry that you're feeling shunned. I am glad to hear from another PCOS sufferer, b/c I know that you really understand what I am going through. I'm sorry you've had to wait so long to adopt. I think that's the worst thing about battling infertility - the waiting. Month after month goes by and nothing happens. Meanwhile it seems like everyone you know is having babies. It's so frustrating. I'd love to talk more with you about it. I tried to email you, but you don't have your address in your profile. Please email me if you ever want to talk. And keep posting - the more you're around, the more folks will talk with you.
BTW, your comments have been very helpful. You reminded me that I need to exercise more, because it's so important for women with our condition.

E-mail me your address at cymoril3 at yahoo...I will try to get it right out (one of the kids 'misappropriated" the packing tape.)

Pretty simple, Mrs.M...we were the better team. By a lot.
Just like I told you we were!
Still, I was impressed with Ben being able to come back so strong in the second half. It wasn't nearly enough, but it speaks volumes about his ability and character, and bodes well for the future of PA football.

Aso, if you hate sented deodorents, try using Mitchem, it is great. I have a condition that develops under my arm sometimes in the summer, and it can be painful. I have been using Mitchem for years because of it, and it is great.

I just read through this thread for the first time, and I wanted to add my good wishes to those that have already been given. I had no idea about all that was involved in a process like this. I admire your strength.
Oh, and I'm rooting for the March conception as well, because it's my birthday month too (the 11th). We definitely should have a Hatrack party.

Today I'm having my ten thousandth pelvic ultrasound to see whether the cyst went away on its own. If it hasn't, we'll schedule the surgery. If it has, we'll start the needles.

Narnia, if you look in the Birthday thread there are lots of March Birthdays, including myself . And twinky, although not listed there, also seems to be a March birthday (see the hatrack.ca thread).

I had been wondering how all this was going. I am glad that everything seems to be going OK now, and I am still thinking and praying for you are your family.

And now we're at the point in this fun process where I completely lose all control over my emotions. Which is a big deal for me, because I'm both repressed and high-strung. Not to mention the OCD. I knew it was going to happen and I knew that they had me on a much higher dose of clomid, but it still freaks me out. Today, I sobbed when the church choir sang This Little Light of Mine on some show. It wasn't even that well done. I also cried nonstop from about 10pm til about 1am for no reason whatsoever. I have cried more these last few months than in my whole life. Literally. I'm not a crier. My mother says that I rarely cried, even as a baby. She even took me to the doctor because of it.
I also became hysterical with laughter while I was asking Andrew stupid questions about game theory. See, a hobby of mine is to ask astonishingly stupid questions about subjects that people have a humorless interest in (I mean that they are humorless about their interest, not that their interests are humorless). Their reactions are priceless and I don't feel guilty at all because I have no sympathy for humorlessness (I don't understand it either - I love making fun of myself). I find this to be particularly true with certain types of hard-core sci-fi fans. Andrew's not that hard-core, but he does have some things that push his buttons. Like Battlestar Gallactica - the new version. I watched a couple of episodes with him (see, I gave it a chance) and asked him why the robots hate humans and why don't they all fly back to earth. He gave me this long explanation about how they made the robots and earth got blown up or something and they're looking for a new planet they can live on and all this. And at the end of the spiel, I gave him my pretty look #6 and asked, "Why don't the robots help them?" He practically screamed, "The robots are their enemies!" Which, of course, led me right back to the beginning, "How can robots have enemies?" Anwway, I couldn't even get through my first stupid question about game theory (which was, naturally, which game are they talking about?).
In other news, new Alias tonight. I love Alias.

Your question game sounds really evil. Mrs M.
Whenever I am sick, I get very emotional. It's so startling. I'll start sobbing at sad commercials, good previews, touching online posts, you name it. I can't imagine purposely taking hormones that do that. Hopefully you won't have to do this for very long.

"Whipsawed" is a fantastic word, Morbo. Very apt. I'll ask him, but then he might tell me.
Theca, it is a pretty evil, but extremely fun. It's certainly provided me with countless hours of entertainment.
I'm nervous today, again for no reason. I have a voice lesson and I'm nervous about that, even though my professor is extremely nice and patient (and talented). Oh well.
At least Alias is on tonight. I'm obsessed with that show and with reading the recaps on TWoP and watching the seasons 1-3 dvds.

Moodswings are goooood. I think becoming a mother, from the very beginning, even pre-conceprion, permenantly rewires our brains to cry at things that never would have phased us before.

Yesterday I did my first injection. It was much, much easier than I'd anticipated and didn't hurt at all. I did it in the dining room - I cleared and sterilized the table and laid all of the paraphernalia. I made Andrew wait in the living room - things like this are easier for me to do without an audience, but I wanted him nearby. I got the pen ready and went for it. I felt like a jerk when it was over - that's what I've been dreading? Oh well, chalk it up to hormones.
Two more days of injections, then I see the doctor for yet another pelvic ultrasound and blood work.
On an unrelated note, I really like my new iPod mini.

*Grin* I knew you'd find the injections amazingly easy. No way you'd have believed me beforehand, though. Great!
