		<description>8 years - amazing how it's flown by!  It was a lovely wedding, and I echo the words above that such a fantastic day was well deserved for you &#38; Chris!  Cheers to you - I'll pop open some champagne (or maybe a beer would be more fitting?) the weekend and raise a toast to you both.

P.S. My Futurama calendar says Oct 7th was also Thom Yorke's birthday . . .</description>

		<description>Thank you for the note you left me today. It was very nice to be reminded that I'm entitled to wallow (sp) in self-pity for a day. I haven't started bleeding yet, but I know it's coming. I'm going to see my acupuncturist this evening and hopefully she'll be able to help with any cramping and bloating. I have faith in her. :-)

As for the Clomid and HcGs, for now I've convinced myself that Clomid isn't the solution to my LPD, and that I'm pretty sure the HcGs will be impactful. I'm holding on to hope that it will help me sustain a fertilized egg.

Our anniversary was on Sept 28th. We always celebrate at a B&#38;B sometime during the fall. The northern regions of the state that we live in are beautiful during this time of year and I'm so looking forward to getting away from the city to enjoy the leaves changing. Autumn is a beautiful time of year to be married, but I don't need to tell you that. ;-)

Cheers!</description>
