Hi all...
cookholmes: ahhhh, honey. so sorry to hear you had a "meltdown". They are no fun at all (and, of course, NEVER happen at opportune times!). I am w/aunty... when stimming or during 2ww... i cry at the drop of a hat (also normally not a "crier"). I know we blame everything on hormones (at least everything we can get away w/

), but in this case it is TRUE!!! oooo... and the ugly cry... yes, the ugly cry and i have become well-acquainted in the last several months. All joking aside... don't be hard on yourself, it is just one of those things about IVF (the gift that keeps on giving

). Treat yourself extra-special today, and we will be here whenever you need us.
Charlie: I too, was very nervous before #1 ER, but like the other girls have been saying, it was a breeze. I just floated away and woke up when the whole thing was over. Not real comfy after, but didn't last long. Good luck!
Shantala: hey, no worries about the thread you started heeheehee... i have done worse. I hit "report" on a post instead of "pm", which means i reported some nice girl to the admin for a completely wonderful post

. Oh well, live and learn!
AMC: Ohhh, SO happy for you!!! have a wonderful 9 months!
Fed: Only 2 days 'til stims... fantastic!
Bec: hard to sign off right now w/o knowing how your us went... hope it was great news!
So ladies, US for me today good, just working on growing a pretty lining. i am at the airport, hoping to spend the next few days skiing in knee-deep powder

. Won't be around much... also because i feel that i need some time away from the forum for my own sanity (such as it is

). BUT, wishing you all a fab wkend.... and if i become weak and give in (as i am apt to do) before Sunday, i will be lurkin' in on you all!
