ms320: that is such a great cause! my hubby's niece did that she had the most gorgeous hair! our company did volunteer work last week with them helping out with production. I was assigned to a different charity so I didnt get to see how the entire thing is done.

Empty: Lexima is right. There are certain tests that they do between CD1-CD3. And yes, it is very uncomfortable...but they had to do it.

So had my beta b/w done early this morning. Just waiting for the doc's office to call with reults. This wait is killing me!!!!!! I have no pg symptoms whatsoever so I'm a bit scared. Didn't even experience any spotting AT ALL (I was told some spotting is expected when the embies implant themselves - does this mean they didnt implant?). I know, I worry too much but I can't help it...sorry...I already had a talk with hubby last night. I asked if that if this cycle didnt work, should we go for a second? And he said absolutely and then followed it with "but why wouldn't it work???" He thought that once the embies were transferred, it's like a done deal! I had to explain that they have to hatch then implant...and all these emotions going thru! I'm excited and nervous and anxious and happy and sad ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

By the way, I am 12 DPT..

Mary - that's a beatiful thing you're trying to do.

Empty - don't be so sure that they won't do internal exams during AF.  When I had my firt RE apt I thought we'll just talk and she'll give a plan to follow.  I was actually on my CD2 which is when they start monitoring.  So they did my b/w, and also u/s and general exam.  I felt so akward, never before have I gone to a obgyn appt during AF.  Now it's normal, bec they start monitoring me with CD2, but I still feel uncomfortable about it.  Good Luck

hi guys ...i went to see the GP today and have gotten a referral now. I have an appt with the hospital tomorrow - so that  will be my first fertility assessment i guess. wish me luck! I still havent got A/F so am now 5 days late. It will be good to get some answers though and make some moves in the right direction. Knowing my luck, A/F will arrive tomorrow and i wont be able to do an internal exams ...hee hee.

LJ - glad the hair situation is resolved. Are you on holidays at the moment?

ms320 - thats a great cause...good on you. I am not sure we have this in Australia but i am going to look into it. We have one where we raise money if you shave your head! Not sure i would make a good sinead :)

Mary, I'm glad my hair helped you out of the ttc haze.  That is one of the reasons I decided to post it.  I thought, well golly we are all friends here.  We talk about the most  intimate details of our lives and we are ALL consumed with ttc!!  So why not broaden that perspective and give other parts of our lives a little attention.  I'm happy it gave you a momentary lift from 2ww, cd's, bding, & ttc!

Great idea about the "locks of love" giving hair away.   I have a couple of neices that do that every couple of years.  My hair doesn't grow fast enough, or long enough I think.  I too have been trying to grow it out.  If I'm successful maybe I'll consider that donation also.   Good for you for taking that postive step.  Way to go!

Oh I also changed my nickname to "babyalive".  There is another LJ on here, and I wanted a name that brought to life my dream.

All I can say is thank you for sharing the saga of your hair.  While I'm sure it was not fun for you, it brought me back to the reality that there is more to life than fertility issues.  I get so caught up in the whole TTC thing, that other parts of life just pass right by.  I, for one, really needed that reminder.  I am going to take the cue and spend some time focusing on other aspects of my life.  I have been growing my hair for almost two years now.  My original intention was to grow it long enough to donate.  Then, I started TTC.  My life got chopped up into cycles and 2WWs, and I never got around to donating my hair as planned.  I am going to call for an appointment tomorrow and put my mane to good use.  If I can't be amother to a child, at least I can make a child with cancer feel better by having a full head of hair.

Thanks again.

Mary

I'm sure you are just chomping at the bit to know about my latest hair update.  I don't want to keep you waiting another minute!  I found a product at Walgreens called "Oops."  and it is supposed to wash out a previous "oops" hair color if done within 24 hrs of the color.  I used that today.  It did wash out a lot of the red, it also lightened my hair quite a bit and there is a bit of red/orange left.  It's a color I can live with and be seen at work with for the next week anyhow.  I'll add an ash tone next weekend I think.  That should take all the red out.

Can't afford the salon this month because every dime I make is used up for living and ttc expenses.  No extra funds for a hair job.  )-:

Good luck I hope that a line darkens up soon!
