Wow, you really went all out for your wedding! For some reason, I was thinking it was going to be a tiny little chapel with just a few close friends and family. Or wait, maybe that was MY wedding You made a beautiful bride, and I hope that the two of you are very happy! Pamela

Hello... Way to go Nancy....we can do this.!!!!! there is a big difference between 170 and 169....a funny little difference .......and Pamela...my neice that the same condition and after 12 months had a perfectly healthy baby boy. You will be fine. Try and relax and think of Chirstmas ......maybe you will have news by then...if not, that is fine...start to think of Easter. IT WILL HAPPEN.....easy for us to say but it seems like things going to start happening for you..... Hope everyne has a great day. Carbs are the issue with me. I have stayed clear of carbs for a week now and the pounds are coming off. I saw 157 today and I have not seen that number in years. I need to stay away from those nasty carbs at least until I get to my 149 goal. They are the death of me. My pouch has even gotten smaller too....when I went back to liquids and soft foods ...then salads and fruit and protein shakes I find that I can't consume as much. I know some of you have mentioned coffee...It is my treat....I have one in the morning and it is great at filling me up perking me up...the protein shakes are great too but I don't get that instant pick me up....I love my Time Hortons coffee ( a big Canandian coffee chain.....) better than Country Style or Coffee Time. hahahahahah Hugs Karen 299 - 157 - 149

No plan today, either. Weekends are never good for me. Ok...going to update this whole baby thing here, because that's what I tend to do. Kind of like an online journal, I guess. Follow-up hysteroscopy revealed a "perfect" uterus, and I can TTC with my next cycle. That's the good news. The bad news is that I did not have a fibroid, but something called adenomyosis (endometriosis within the uterus). In my case, it appears that the adenomyosis presented itself as a single tumor called an adenomyoma. It is quite rare to have just the one tumor...most women tend to have their entire uterine wall filled with adenomyosis. My surgeon THINKS that I was lucky and just had the one problem, although he did warn that I might have problems later on that might require a hysterectomy. My HSG, sonohistogram, and manual exam did not reveal an enlarged or mishapen uterus which is typical of adenomyosis. I also never had the problems that women with adenomyosis had...my symptoms were typical of a fibroid. SOOOO...as it stands, I don't really know if I am actually cured (which can happen if it's just one adenomyoma) or if there's more lurking somewhere they we haven't uncovered and that it will have a negative impact on my fertility. However, he DID say that my uterus was perfect...so I take that to mean that as far as he can tell, it's a good environment for a baby. God, I hope so! So now I have to wait until I get pregnant and deliver a baby before I can stop panicking. I was in hysterics last night because everything I read was all BAD, BAD, BAD. But I found two support groups dealing specifically with this issue, and there are women having babies all over the place. Ok...so that's where I'm at. Please don't mind me if I freak out each and every day. Writing is therapeutic for me, even if it means the rest of you get sick of reading Pamela full of IV water

Hey gang.... Well, we did it, we're married. The day was just perfect. I want to thank everyone for their well wishes. If you're interested, I have a site set up with wedding pictures and also honeymoon pictures.... http://www.saturnus.com/pinalope/wedding.htm hope you like them. I know I don't get on here much, and actually, I'll be on the main board less too...seems life is catching up with me. I need to concentrate on getting things done around the house before winter...and work takes all those nice day-time hours away... I will check on you guys though...I like to see that everyone is doing well. Hugssssssss Linda

I hope everything goes well for you Pam - I'm thinking of you and have everything crossed!! Please let us know how you make out. I did OK yesterday - I lost another pound so that's good. I'm hoping if I can stay good in the next few days I'll see the 160's on the scale. I saw 170.0 last night, but this morning was 171.1. Plan for today: B: Nothing - water and coffee - we lost power this morning and it just came on so I was distracted from eating. L: AdvantEdge carb control shake D: Turkey chili Snacks: pretzels, protein bar Exercise: last night I was practicing for my tap lessons and woke up in the middle of the night with a MASSIVE cramp in my right calf!! I'm going to practice again today, but take it a little easier... Hugs to all, Nancy 171
