I just flew from Chicago to New York at about 6 weeks. The doctor said it would be fine, and it was. Just keep hydrated, go to the bathroom when you need to, and make sure you get up and move around every hour or so.

On the plus side, being pregnant made me tired enough that I actually managed to ...

I was reading that you're supposed to avoid certain food colorings, i.e. Yellow 6. But Yellow 6 seems to be in so many things (Like Cheetos ).

I know I shouldn't probably get too concerned about it, but does anyone know if this is something we should watch out for?

Thanks,
Julie

Hi, everyone!

Hope we're all doing fine and dandy.

Christin , we're right on the same schedule. My RE told me today that I'll be going in for ER (*spit* *spit* fingers crossed) on either Friday or Saturday. I hope they can get your levels down to where they need them to be. I also have around the ...

Hi, friends!

I don't know about you all, but the weather here is fantastic -- finally!!! 8)

How is everyone doing today?

Sonu , congrats on your up-tick. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a day five transfer improves your chances of having one of the embryos stick. Don't know why yet. I'm ...

Hi, girls!

I'll have to make this quick, as the dog needs a walk...

Kelly, congrats on the 9 eggs! That's fabulous! I hope fertilization goes well for you.

Hellokitty, I'm sorry about the setback. I hope Flo rears her ugly head this weekend.

Everyone else, grow follies!

Thanks for the kind ...

Hey, all!

Kelly , that's so exciting! It's so close! I hope you get the BFP ball rolling for all the August/September girls.

You too, Dexter !

Christin , I'm lucky that none of my friends have really started to have families. At least I don't have to look at their bellies and scowl.

Hi, Lee ...

Lala , hopefully we'll all be sporting bumps soon enough! Good luck tomorrow! I'm going in for scan #2, and I think I'm actually starting to feel somethin' somethin' happening in the ovary area now.

I'm seeing kids officially for the first time tomorrow. I'm a little nervous. But it's keeping my ...

Hi, gals!

Wouldn't you know...After a weekend of enduring my cousin's talk of new motherhood, I find out today that my friend at school (with whom I work closely) is preggers. With her third. I'm happy for her, but...come on! Is everyone pregnant but me? It's like when everyone was getting engaged ...

Hi, Ladies!

Glad to hear everyone is where they should be so far! I'm excited that some of you are so close to ER. Good luck!

Sonu911 , welcome! I hope you have a great cycle.

Christin , I'm not sure why they change dosage amounts, but they do that to me all the time. I think it's just a way to ...

Hey, everyone!

I'm finally back up on the Internet after losing cable in the huge storms that blew through Chicago yesterday. How I've missed my 'puter!

I gave myself the Lupron shot this morning and it ain't no thang. I didn't feel it at all. DH wants me to give myself my Menopur shot tonight. He ...

Hi, Ladies!

I just wanted to add my two cents about the bloating on stims.

Because of the reduced amount of activity one can engage in while on stims, I made a conscious effort to eat low (complex) carb and high fiber foods. The low carb-ness helped keep my abdomen area non-swollen and the fiber ...

Yay, Christin ! Great news. Good luck on the stims. I guess it's best to stay cautiously optimistic during this time; but I'm a pessimist, so I'm just going to assume that I'll get cancelled like last time.

Thanks everyone for the shot support. I'm giving myself the Lupron tomorrow. I will survive ...

Christin , how's it going? Any visits from the Flo Fairy? I know what you mean about the RE folks not giving you a lot of info. Mine told me straight up that they have a sort of "Don't ask, don't tell" policy in that if I don't ask, they won't tell me anything.

Lala , good to see you around ...

Kelly , I feel your cold pain. I'm just getting over one myself, though I suffered through it without taking anything ('cept a little Tylenol). It was like the second I stepped into school I got sick. The kids' germs had been festering in there all summer. Yuck.

Hellokitty , poop on your boss ...

Hey, Kelly,

Congrats on starting the stims. Grow, follies, grow!

I received a very welcome visit from my dear Auntie Flo today, so I'm heading in for baseline and U/S on Wednesday. Then it's probably gonna be me and the U/S technician everyday from there to ER or cancellation (you PCOS gals know ...
