I forget already. Anyway, I will be thinking of you and crossing every finger and toe I can find!<br /><br />Also wishing you all the best with the job situation. I actually endured the world's craziest, most woman-hating boss who threatened my job on numerous occasions throughout my pregnancy, but somehow managed to hang in there. And then HE got fired right before the kid was born. Hahahaha.<br /><br />Take care, lady! I look forward to some damn good news from you soon.peesticksandstoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194814462876179308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-18947890975555039102009-08-07T07:02:02.793-07:002009-08-07T07:02:02.793-07:00I really hope that in this case, feeling "dif...I really hope that in this case, feeling "different" is a good sign. I'm sorry to hear about the job stress too. That is a burden that you don't need right now.

So I think these things can vary from pregnancy to pregnancy. And with the new protocol and your improved health, it may be that you're just feeling better in general. <br /><br />I'll be cheering for you on Saturday.<br /><br />The job stuff is fucking awful. It just sucks in terms of timing.Shinejilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353174053245279899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-81684943542744216762009-08-06T15:05:16.980-07:002009-08-06T15:05:16.980-07:00I like the idea that, since you feel fantastic rig...I like the idea that, since you feel fantastic right now, this is an awesome sign of a fabulously healthy, normal 9 month pregnancy ahead. This is where I am putting my money and my energy, friend.<br /><br />As for the job, I am so sorry.

You just have no control over either situation, and it's waiting and worrying and what the hell good does that do anybody anyway? <br /><br />Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for you on both counts.

Big news on the job front. That SUCKS. RI...woah. Big news on the job front. That SUCKS. RIght now, I seem to be feeling like the worst part of it is the not-knowing, but that's also because I am on the eve of my HSG, feeling every inch of the WHEN THE FUCK WILL THEY TELL ME SOMETHING GAAAAAAH phase, you know? I tend to project my feelings. I mean, not that I want devastating news (nor would I imagine do you), but shit. At least it would be news. <br /><br />As for your lack of symptoms, I want to shit sunshine and tell you it'll all be okay, but the only thing I know about pregnancy symptoms (which is pounded into my head with every guilty episode of "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" that I watch) is that every pregnancy is different. Who knows? Maybe this time your body is all happy-jazzed at the professionally hired sperm. Maybe you've hit the threshold of things your body will allow itself to endure and it's retaliating by just not letting the symptoms come through. Maybe hope is winning this time, flooding your body with endorphins that subdue the exhaustion you've felt in the past. <br /><br />At least that's what I really hope is true. <br /><br />Count on me to be abiding with you through this Saturday (well, and always, too) as you find out the results of this cycle. <br /><br />(Does it mean anything that my word verification is twinator-- twin senators? twin robots sent back from the future?

Everyone is different, and every pregnancy is different. So try (I said try) not to read anything into your lack thereof. I have several friends who didn't feel a thing for months while pregnant, and everything I've felt has been extremely subtle, like if I didn't know I was pg I wouldn't necessarily believe it. I think you are doing a great job of managing all this stress...I will be keeping everything crossed for you that you get your BFP AND keep your job.Good Egg Hatchedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329661201337433257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-10365514353187516402009-08-05T23:20:36.512-07:002009-08-05T23:20:36.512-07:00big week, big month! best of luck on all fronts.big week, big month! best of luck on all fronts.lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455301696832647867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-3943604317880732552009-08-05T22:13:12.888-07:002009-08-05T22:13:12.888-07:00I'm holding my breath for you on all fronts!!I'm holding my breath for you on all fronts!!Rebeccahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110795754864023339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-45882866947328813792009-08-05T18:57:40.843-07:002009-08-05T18:57:40.843-07:00It's hard not to examine all the symptoms and ...It's hard not to examine all the symptoms and wonder if haveing one or NOT having one is a positve thing. Augh! You're only a few days away from beta so not too long to continue the waffling thoughts. :)<br /><br />As for the job...that bites! I totally know what you mean about finding a job and a office you really enjoy and could see yourself at until retirement. Plus the flexible schedule sounds like an added bonus. I know you said you are the baby of your group but that's not always the position that goes. Sometimes is the person who has more vested in the company and makes more than you do!!Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095698168514644000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-41203251953929531392009-08-05T18:26:34.958-07:002009-08-05T18:26:34.958-07:00I wholeheartedly agree that each pregnancy can be ...I wholeheartedly agree that each pregnancy can be a very different experience.
