Good MOOrning!! I'm doing ok here today except for being so sleepy for some reason. I thought I slept ok but who knows. My weekend was good although quite busy with too much time at work and not enough time at home. It's gotten quite chilly outside and the weather forecast says snow later this week. Brrrrr!!!!! Well, I promise I've read everything that was posted. Please forgive me with my rambling and scrambled brain. Love y'all!!! I hope everyone is feeling well or better and has plenty of babydust if needed. I'll be around.....

Roz - I'm sorry she is still being trouble. But please, take it from me, stay out of it and let him handle it. It's his past, and HE needs to cut the cord. What he really needs to do is tell her not to call him anymore, and when he sees her number, don't answer it. I honestly have no clue why he isn't doing that already, but if he is like my husband, he is a nice sensitive guy that doesn't like to be mean!

I'm doing okay all, but my husband is not. He really hurt his back with this move, keep him in your thoughts and prayers!
Oh get this, our 2 cable outlets don't work, and it's a brand NEW place!!!Cable company has to come out Wednesday evening GRRR. I just don't buy it being both of the outlets, it almost sounds like somebody really didn't turn it on!

Anyway I'll try and check in sometime this week, HUGS to all!

hey ladies! i hope everyone is well and feeling great! hugs and comfort vibes to all of those who needs them. i am thinking of you all. it sure is cold here and they are calling for snow here this week too, tigga! i would love to see some.

roz-i agree with jenn. j really needs to take care of the ex situation on this own otherwise you will never really know whether he wants to cut the cord or not, which i am sure he does. hang in there and let him know again how you feel.

jenn- so sorry your hubby hurt his back. thoughts and prayers for him. hope you get all settled in the new place soon in time for christmas.

corrie-hey there sweet cyster. hope you are well.

leah-how are you today?

Lisa,
I am doing okay. Very busy day at work and tomorrow will be the same. I also have two finals this week, one more paper to do that is due on the 10th, postings for the classes, then this weekend a wedding and the cantata at church. Busy time of the year! Keep me in your prayers for my classes. Ready for this semester to be over. Hope you get the snow you want!!! (((HUGS))) Love ya!

Jenn,

Roz,
Missed you today. Didn't get to email back and forth. Guess you were busy too. Love ya!!

Tigga,
Let it Snow!!! Hope it comes your way! Not cold enough in GA. But it could get icy here. I hate it when it gets icy b/c it is so dangerous to drive in.

Everyone I missed, Love ya! Going to bed early, finish my other homework tomorrow.

lpcale · 12-06-2005, 04:44 AM

Leah-You and your finals will be in my thoughts and prayers. I know you will kick some butt again, just like you have been doing. This is a busy time of the year....but I hope you will find sometime to enjoy it. I am getting a little anxious myself about shopping, taxes were just do, IUI, will I ovualte, etc. craziness, but I actually function better when I stay busy. Take care of yourself and lots of (((((HUGS)))) coming your way. Love ya too!!!

Rozlynn · 12-06-2005, 03:31 PM

Good morning Hope all is well with everyone and you are all getting healthy if you are sick

Jenn: Yes Your DH and J are the same... He doesn't want to hurt anyone - He's just a big teddy bear. And I know I have to stay out of it believe me I know this but if we get married is she still going to be in the wasteside? Yeah know its kinda like enough is enough.. He knows How I feel about it and thats all I can do.... Sorry to read about your hubby's back I hope he is doing better today. Whats going on with your Job is everything ok? I know you were nervous last week about it.....

Leah: See Email - I was in and out of the office all day .. today I'm back so we're good to go

Paisley: You still out there? Miss you hope all is going well with the house and such?

For anyone I forgot I hope you have a great day! (((HUGS)))) if you are not feeling well

The ex strikes again HAHA Heres the thing though So we have been seriously talking about getting engaged but then we figured people would look at us like we were insane since its been a month (well in 2 days). His dad is hilarious about it going around asking so is she the one... She better be the one if not your an idiot... I guess J and his dad had a conversation about what to get me for xmas and how difficult I was being... His dad was like cut the bs just buy her an engagement ring already seriously...we all know its coming. J told his dad its been a month...His dad said well you guys know your going to get married anyway why not propose on xmas LOL... Nothing like pushing the guy down the isle - - On *that* note apparently his ex the lil twit kinda figured out from the way he talked about me that he was going to marry me and she flat out told him that if I have a ring on my finger in the next month He won't make it down the isle (Little pshycho).... He told her flat out - You had your chance 3 years ago but you wanted to finish school so I dropped the ring money on your education.... I have a funny feeling new years if not xmas just to throw me off because he told me the other night "You won't even see it coming, I will blind side you but you have to say yes" lol Last night on the couch he looked me dead in the eye and asked Are you going to marry me? I chuckled because its the the ARE or WILL thing again he knew what he was doing haha I told him yes someday when he asks the right way LOL

jennthediva · 12-06-2005, 06:10 PM

Roz - I am SO happy for you. But please, please make sure you are 100% certain this guy is the one. 1 month is way too soon, IMO. I would get the x mess out of the way first as well. Why he is even taking her calls, I don't know.

GRRRR. That stupid friend of mine I didn't talk to for a while is ticking me off. Here I told her to send me her resume and I would forward it to our Dallas office to see if she could get a job. Well I forwarded it to the staffing manager out there, and you think I get a thank you from her? HELL NO! I told her over the phone, and she just sat there saying nothing. I e-mailed her this morning saying she could have thanked me for that. She's having back problems (yep, more health problems I have to hear now!), so I'm sure she will use that as an excuse. I'm getting to the point where I want to cut her off completely, she is NOT changed but for about 1 week. She zones out on the phone again when I talk to her, and doesn't listen to what I'm saying AGAIN, and starts changing the subject. She never asked how the move went, etc. I'm getting so sick and tired of her!!!!!!!!!!!

jennthediva · 12-06-2005, 06:40 PM

I also wanted to mention that she does have pretty significant back problems from herniated discs, and could possibly have surgery soon. I'm really NOT looking forward to that, because she will use that to her advantage any way that she can. She already is using that to her advantage, it's all she talks about on the phone now. I'm just so sick and tired of her damn health being the focal point in our friendship! And it pisses me off that she didn't even ask how the move went!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or thank me for sending her damn resume! Sorry but I really thought she would change for the better this time, but I guess not. I'm really going to keep her at a distance and see if she really gets a clue this time...

Tiggamoo · 12-06-2005, 07:25 PM

MOOrning! Hope you are all doing as well as you can. I've been nauseous since I got up this morning. I could only stand to eat part of breakfast. No vomiting here just nausea. My sleepy brain forgot to bring my office key and name tag to work this morning. I didn't realize it until I'd already got here. I have extra name tags so that wasn't a big deal. I had to find someone to unlock my office though. Anymoo, the weather forecast keeps changing here. Now it says rain changing to snow, sleet, and/or freezing rain. Yuck. I'll take the snow if it were up to me. Bear with me...I'm going to try to do some personals.

Jenn-I'm sorry your friend is being such a but again. Put some space in that friendship. I hope your DH's back is feeling better soon.

Roz-I'm sorry the x is being such a pain. Let J handle her. By the way, don't rush the relationship. Enjoy being together, get engaged even, but allow a bit of time before marriage. I'm so glad you and J have each other. I bet y'all are a cute couple!

Lisa-I'm thinking of you. I hope that the clomid does its job, you will O, and the IUI can be done! I don't blame you for trying to stay busy. That's what I do sometimes when I have a lot on my mind. ((HUGS))

Leah-I hope the classes get over for you soon. Sounds like a busy December for you. How are you doing?

Lee-How are you and your family doing? Better I hope.

Corrie-Did I read somewhere that you have been sick? If so, I hope you are feeling better. If not, I hope you are doing well.

Paisley-How's life?

Krystal-How are you and your little one doing?

Lizzie-Haven't seen you on in a while. Check in when you can.

Regina-How are you?

I'll be around as I can working and lurking.

Rozlynn · 12-06-2005, 07:28 PM

just to clarify we are not getting married for a long time yet....

I promise I'm not rushing Love you guys

Hope1142005 · 12-06-2005, 07:32 PM

Hi ladies. I have not been told by a doctor that I have endometriosis. I just found out last night what it is and the symptoms of it. Ive been having an awful pain in my stomach on the lower left side for about 6 months now. My gyno seems to think its my gallbladder, but I dont think so because the gallbladder is located under the right breast. I had 2 more second opinions on the gallbladder issue, one said yes to gallbladder & one said no way to the gallbladder. I also feel sick to my stomach all the time. My period cramps are unbearable. Ive been taking RX pain pills for my period cramps and they arent helping at all. I also have painful bowel movements when im on my period as well but I always thought that was normal due to the muscles contracting. My ex husband and I tried to get pregnant for 3 years and never did. I remarried in Jan of this year and we have been TTC since the day we got married and so far we arent pregnant. I have PCOS of course and thought thats why I wasnt getting pregnant. I was online last night trying to find what could be causing my pain & sick feeling all the time and all of a sudden I clicked something and the topic of endometriosis came up and once I started reading it I thought OMG this could be my problem. Has anyone with endometriosis on this site had a baby??? My husband and I are trying so hard to get pregnant. My husband is older than me and it bothers me that I cant have a child for him. He of course understands but I still feel bad for him. Ive wanted a baby since I was 14 so course this is bothering me as well but Im more concerned about my husbands feelings. Any information that you can give me would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

jennthediva · 12-06-2005, 07:50 PM

Roz - Okay, would that mean you would be engaged for quite a long time? I don't mean to sound weird, but it almost sounds like he is very scared you are going to run off, so he wants some sort of serious commitment from you. Is that what the deal is? Trust me, I hooked up with my husband not 1-2 months after a 5 year relationship with my ex. Then Dave and I (husband) moved in together after about 1-2 months of dating. Things did work out great since we are soulmates, but I've seen relationships that did not work out for the best. But I have to say, this guy does sound like the right one, and only YOU know if he is

I'm SOOOO happy for you

Thanks Tigg! Sorry I was venting earlier. I'm just so tired of my friend's health problems. Not saying they are her fault, but 90% I believe are in her head, hell if the girl has a hangnail you better believe she will be whining about it for 2 days! Her endo and back problems are real though, I just wish she would stop using me to get sympathy. I'm not going to turn my back on her since I've had back surgery and she needs support from someone who has, but I'm getting VERY tired of me being expected to listen to her 24/7 about her problems, yet she is zoning out and non-interested in my life.

Tiggamoo · 12-07-2005, 12:42 AM

Roz-Glad to know you aren't rushing! Just love you and want you to be happy!!!!

Jenn-Your friend is lucky to have an understanding friend like you. I'm just sorry she's such a complainer.

Hope-I'm so glad you come to this thread. I'm just so sorry you've been in so much pain with no solid answers. From some of the symptoms you've mentioned, having endometriosis is possible. The only way it can be diagnosed is through having a laproscopy to have an actual look at what's going on. Definitely talk with the dr. about your symptoms. Here's a brief summary of my endo story. I was officially diagnosed with endometriosis in May 2004 by laproscopy. I spent quite a bit of time in a lot of pain before that. I was in constant pain expecially on my left side. Pain meds were just not helping at all. Sex was painful. Walking and bending was painful. My muscles began being tensed constantly because of the pain I was in. When that happened, it was miserable. After having the lap, I learned that my left ovary had been attached to my abdominal wall. I had endo under my uterus and several other areas. My gyn was able to remove much of this. Surgery helped me greatly. I'm not dealing with pain from endo constantly. I do have occasional pains and muscle tensing. There are a few cysters with that have children here. Some of us are TTC. Feel free to ask questions to us and hang around. We talk about endometriosis, life, and a little bit of everything else. It's really a supportive group. I hope you get the answers you are seeking. On a side note, what part of Alabama do you live? I grew up in AL although I'm in MS now.

12-07-2005, 01:19 AM

Hi girls, well I'm back. Had my second appointment with gyno yesterday and she is pretty sure I have endo. Although she said this can only be confirmed by a laprascopy (they put a camera thru your belly button apparently?). Well I've just had the AF from hell that hasn't eased up yet. Sorry if tmi but I cannot believe a person can lose so much blood and still be up standing! The pain was shocking but at least its eased up now. I also had frequent bowel movements with my period?
My gyno has said that there are risks in doing a laprascopy and at this stage she's not going to do one unless I have problems conceiving.
So the bad news is that I have a trifecta - PCOS, Septum in uterus & Endo but the good news is - I OVULATED. So my af was a real cycle all on my own.
Hope you are all doing well & thanks for creating this thread.
