A woman I worked with is the exact case Jen is talking about. She is 41, had tried to conceive in the past with no success, and had no idea what was causing her lingering flu. She figured it out 8 weeks in and is thrilled.
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Well, if you've been trying for two years with no results, and you have irregular cycles, pregnancy probably isn't going to be the first thing on your mind when you feel sick.I agree with this. My sister is regular like crazy though and she's got no idea at all how far along she is. And they are just a myriad of reasons why now is not the time for her to be having another baby... None of which matter now, I suppose since she *is* pregnant.

It's a race day! ::does modified Cabbage Patch dance of Yay::Damn. So much for unbridled joy. An Indy driver was killed in morning practice for the season opener today. It's a risky sport but you are never quite prepared for the tragedies when they occur. Rahal/Letterman withdrew their other two drivers but the rest will go racing.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh Jen, no, I agree. I meant more people who are regular and who just "don't notice" missing their period.
Trust me, I get the not knowing with the lack of period thing. I'm one of the PCOS Bitches.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What is even happening?
Cindy, if it makes you feel any better, I appear to have brought New England's cold, gray March with me this year.Yes, Kristin. Wait!
Well except for today. Today I'm sitting on my patio in a t-shirt and capris and enjoying the smell of orange blossom from the tree next door.Nope. Nope. Nope.
</gloat>
(I'm allowed! 30 winters in New England earns me some cred, right?)I think you're allowed one California-weather gloat per each decade spent in New England and like climes.
Yep, we're thrilled she's passing those genes on for the next generation...Yeeeeiiii.
An Indy driver was killed in morning practice for the season opener today.Oh my word. That's so sad.

I'm procrastinating. I should be vacuuming and studying for an exam. I am actually doing neither.
