YAY! We'd love to have you! The address is www.chattinaboutbabies.com and we're a private community due to the nature of female and fertility details ya know so just register a username (I don't think we've ever had a Pamela so its probably available) and when you do it will tell me so I can approve your membership. Then you can just join in and chat away with us. We keep track of cycle dates and have a ton of resources and personal experiences to share and best of all, the most wonderful group of women you could find. I've been chatting with most of them daily about life and everything in it since 1999. They are awesome and I know you'll love it there! Hugs, Deejay

Hi Monna, Its good to "hear" from you!!! I am doing well. I hope the surgery goes well. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take Care Teah

Okay, just posting once a week on this thread. Most people have lost interest so it seems pointless, but I do like giving updates (and hearing from others!!) from time to time. Turkey week wasn't quite what I expected. I overdid it at work, which is pathetic because the food wasn't very good. I never did get in any exercise, either, although I DID cut the grass on Friday. The salt moved the scale up a whopping 13 lbs! I was 228 on Friday, then was down to 223 yesterday. That's STILL 8 lbs up from my lowest, and it sucks. I FEEL fat. Saturday and Sunday, I took control. I wasn't PERFECT in my eating, but I chose healthy foods and stayed under 2000 calories both days. I also walked yesterday. My plan for this week is to work on tweaking my calorie level back down to a reasonable amount and to get more exercise. I absolutely refuse to weigh 300+ lbs again! I have an ultrasound on Wednesday...hopefully I have plenty of good eggs. My next IUI should be sometime between Wednesday and next Monday. Third time's a charm, right? I hope the rest of you start posting! Pamela

good luck with your heart surgery Monna, you will be in my prayers. Nice to know you'll be home for christmas and have more energy when its over. Good luck and take care! Deejay

Long time I know, I'm sorry. I've been so busy with 5yr old triplets, working full time and I also own a fertility/parenting website too so my life is crazy. Everything is good otherwise, my weight is at 144, I'm not actively trying to lose anymore but will lose about 1lb every 4-5 months now which is fine. I still go to the gym all the time and work hard to maintain. I was in a fashion show for my bariatric clinic in July and it was a blast! We modeled 3 outfits on the runway and was escorted in a formal gown by my surgeon while they read my thank you letter to him, it was so awesome! Just thought I'd pop in and say hi and let everyone know I'm still around. Janette, I pray for you all the time and will continue to do so! Nancy, I'm so so sorry to hear about your mother, you are in my thoughts. Pamela, I know what your going through, we were trying for 6 years and had many many treatments and succeeded with in-vitro finally. My best friend and I started a fertility/parenting site with a very active message board. Most of the women have gone through fertility treatments, some still doing them but we have a wonderful group of women who genuinely care for each other, if you'd like to join us just let me know, we'd love to have you and its nice to go through it with people who have been there. Anyway, I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving today. Take care and happy holidays! Hugs, Deejay 262/144 (6 below goal!) 1/06 - TT, BL/BA, Thigh Lift, Lipo
