Well, my V-day didn't start out so well! I had to drive in snow filled roads for 45 mins to get to my 730am saline-infused US apptmt and of course, I have another defect to my end. I noticed a big polyp in my uterus while the tech was doing the scan and I asked her about it. But of course, she said it looks like one but the RE has to read the scan. Well, I haven't heard from the RE yet but I'm pretty sure I'll have to have a hysteroscopy to remove it
Every test I take has some hurdle for me. I asked the nurses about my FSH and they said the RE still plans to continue with the cycle with that level--well, that was before this polyp showed up.Anyway, enough about me. I get too depressed thinking about my defects!
Shantala, I'm so sorry about your cramps...I have gotten those while on Clomid before and have never been on down reg meds yet so I'm dreading those cramps...they're the pits! Are you feeling better now? Is that breakthough bleed heavier or lighter than normal?
Janice, Congrats on the weight loss! 4 lbs in 3 weeks should be a breeze now after all the hard work you've done in the last few months. I know about how you feel about your body being all screwed up. Mine definitely is! But, I'm just trying to stay positive and be thankful that these are all getting done prior to getting on the cycle. Anyway, good luck on your scan on the 19th!
Nicky, Pittsburgh is about an hour east from me. My in-laws are definitely great but I always seem to stress myself out whenever we visit them...something about being with in-laws, I guess. Anyway, FYI means for your information. We Americans definitely love using short-cuts for words. And you are right, being 6 hrs ahead from us means the board is usually very quiet from your side of the world when I log in at night. Sweet dreams! and good luck with blood work on Friday!
Jill, Welcome back to the arctic! Wow, Minnesota--I thought being in northeast Ohio is bad. How much snow did you guys get? Your vacation sounded divine...and very warm!
PS: the fertility necklace my MIL gave me has a pendant with a picture of a sculpture of a heavyset woman...I don't know the name but I'm wearing it and hoping it works. I also have a St. Gerard (patron saint for mothers) pendant given by a good friend who's currently pregnant that I wear too. Yeah, whatever it takes to get preggers, I do. Too bad my acu got cancelled today because of the snow.
Everyone else, take care and good night!
Anna
Have you heard anything yet from your RE regarding the scan and if you can still move forward with your cycle? Please keep us posted…everything crossed for you!
How nice to get away and rejuvenate yourself before you start IVF. So are you buried under snow in Minnesota? Indiana got hit pretty hard but today the driving was much better. I start my stimms on March 2nd so we will be going through all this together!!! 
I'm in the Midwest. It's been pretty cold here with temperatures below freezing and lots of snow. But luckily the sun is shining today!!
...IVF here I come!!!!!
