They said the results are usually in by 2:30pm (ack), so if I don't hear, call at 3pm. So my wait got a lot longer. 7 more hours.
And I just looked at my horoscope for today... Funny, eh?
Yes, all this waiting is probably making you absolutely crazy, and yes, you're due for the universe to toss you just one tiny bone. Now, stop whining. Nothing happens until it's supposed to happen, and no matter how hard you try, you can't change that. Deal with it.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

I keep checking back to see if there are any updates--I'm obviously thinking of you. Did your spotting stop? You know everyone is holding your hand for the next 7 hours.
Update us ASAP!!
Haven't checked in in a couple of days & knew you'd be getting results today. You're in my thoughts - I hope you get good news.
Good luck - I hope everything comes back normal.
Thinking of you and hoping for the best of news !! ((HUGS))
this is going to sound terrible - but that horoscope is HY-STER-I-CAL!
Keeping you in my thoughts darlin. {{{hugs}}}
Thinking of you Nancy --

Pam
Sending all the positive thoughts I have, just not through the phone, ;o)
{{{hugs}}} I do like the horoscope...
I hate it when even my horoscope mouths me. There is nothing worse than a smack-talking fortune teller!!
"...and yes, you're due for the universe to toss you just one tiny bone."
Maybe this means you're having a boy! Haha, get it? "One tiny bone"
