Hye girls- real quick I'm a little tipsy on vicoden...

Daly- I'm sooo sorry. YOu are in my prayers hun. A dog is a faithful member of the family, and it is hard when they are so sick.

Angela- That is the best news. I have been thinking about you. I'm so happy!!! Good luck at the blood test!!

Sophie- lobster linguini with shrimp sounds wonderful. Send me some please

Hello my beautiful girls!

How are you guys doing? How was your Saturday? Mine was busy, but super nice. We had wonderful weather: sunny, 23-26 degrees Celsius. Lovely; a real summer day! I saw two couples this morning and had interesting sessions, then I drove to Gatineau (next to Ottawa) to attend the shower of a friend of mine. I was stuck in a traffic jam due to construction, so I was late, but I could enjoy the party all the same. It was great to catch up with her and with another friend who was there. Then I went to my Belgian grandparents' and spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening there. We had a great time. I just came back and thought I'd check!

Repronex still doing okay; I take back the comment I made yesterday, LOL you're not sissies,

! It burned a little bit this time; my right side is always more sensitive for some reason. But that's nothing; the real bummer is really the way the meds seem to stay underneath my skin and make it really tender and tense. I have no redness whatsoever, but that pain is really weird. If I jump, for example, it will hurt! If I lie on my stomach too! Mmmmh... at least pain due to the first shot is fading. And I had the greatest reward today; my ovaries twinged quite a bit in the car a couple of hours ago!

Hopefully Repronex will really make a difference for me and I won't have to stimm for so long.

Okay, time to do personals; there's a lot of action here!

Angelaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! WOOHOO! I'M SO HAPPY BABY! That group effort was worth it, then! Oh, what good news! I thought about you today, and I was really looking forward to come here and "check on you". IT'S AMAZING! Keeping everything crossed so you trigger tomorrow! Looks like the best your body could do was give you quite a scare... and still deliver!

You've been through a lot and stayed real strong my sweet! I'm so proud of you! Please give us news as soon as you get it! *jumps up and down* And good luck for your trigger shot! Hehehe I bet that one will be particularly sweet to receive!

And your DH is sweeeeet! Don't forget to reward him well...

you need to change the oil three days before EC anyway...

Daly: sweetie, I'm so sorry that your little boy is in a critical state! They take so much place in our lives, the little devils, and give so much love in return for the one we feel for them! *hugs* I'll have special thoughts for the both of you. How are the shots going?

TansRN: Hey girl!

Hehehhe glad I made you chuckle! Oh, and your impatience makes me think you're quite the opposite of "near dead"; you must be scratching the paint off the walls as we say here, lol! Thanks for your best wishes sweetie! Tomorrow will be my third round of stimming shots already!

Which makes me think, ladies, that I haven't sung my Lupron song yet... ack, I'm late! *clears throat and starts singing on "Guantanamera"*

Half-shot of Lupron! I got a half-shot of Lupron! Half-shot of Luuuuuuuprooooooon, I got a half-shot of Luuuuuuuprooooooon!

(love to sing that in the shower before said shot... ask Welshbugger; she was my biggest "fan" on the Dec/Jan thread! lol)

Jovigal: despite your addiction, lol, you seem to be doing okay! How are you doing sweetie? Just a few more days! It's so exciting!

jenn: *pours some lobster-shrimp linguine in a big brown envelope* Just give me your mailing address and it's yours!

CONGRATULATIONS on the 6 eggs! GOOD JOB! Awwwww they make you wait forever for that fert rate (like our clinic, basically... two days later)! You must be on pins and needles! Poor thing, I remember my after-EC pain so well... *hugs* I'm sorry to hear that it hurts more this time. But those 6 eggies sure make it worth the pain! *hugs* Can't wait to hear about that fert rate! Please tell me you do everything to pamper yourself right now!

gbnut: WOW!

Perfect score for the thaw! WOW! GOOD JOB HONEY! Those were real strong embies! Congratulations for the transfer! Welcome to the 2ww!

How do you feel? Tons of sticky baby dust to you!

Okay, time to do that list, grab a shower and hop into bed! Yeah... oil change duty!

TansRN · Post by **TansRN** » Sun May 20, 2007 4:30 am

Jovigal-I know what you mean about the POAS addiction. I have one as well. I have a pile of sticks in my bathroom I keep looking at!!! LOL Congrats! It is so exciting isnt it? I love seeing that line and I can't get enough of it. Try the digital one. It is really sensitive.

Jenn
Yeah for your 6 eggies! I hope that they all fertilize so you will have good choices!!!

Susan
Sticky baby dust to you! I hope that your embies stick in for the long haul.

Sophie
Way to go with the stimming. Can't believe that it has been a few days already. It sure does fly by. I am sitting here going nuts thinking that time has practically stood still. It feels like it. I can hardly stand it. I was so working a way to get to any lab with any doctor on Monday so that I would know. I am trying to cool it but it is so hard for me.

Well guys only like a million more hours before I go to my beta! Ho Hum...

arizonakiwi · Post by **arizonakiwi** » Sun May 20, 2007 5:43 am

My mind is buzzing so I'll do some personals later but I just had to let you know I finally have got the phone call to say go ahead and trigger tonight at 9pm I then go in for EC 36 hours later on Tuesday morning (I can only imagine how slowly work is going to go tomorrow). My Estergon level is down below 9000 and the nurse even asked me if I was planning on having 1 or 2 transfered on Friday. I would love them to do 2 but on my last visit the dr said they would only let me do one (I'm going to ask him again to consider 2).
It is amazing to think in a week our little beanie/s will be snuggling into their new home.

You guys have been an amazing support and I couldn't have got through the last few days with out you all.
Thank you.

gbnut · Post by **gbnut** » Sun May 20, 2007 9:40 am

Sophie I test on May 29th. You do a wonderful job with the list. Big thank you.

arizonakiwi hope the trigger went well and best of luck for EC tomorrow.

Hi to everyone else hope you are all doing ok. Hugs to daly hope your dogie is still fighting.

hello everybody..... sorry id been quiet lately.... after my 5day vacation, which started friday for ER and ended thursday last week, i was swamped with work so i had barely time left to check in.... but now that everything's finally seem to be settling down, i think i can do a little bit of personals... i will try hehehehe

gbnut - congratulations on having such good angel frosties.... goodluck on your test on the 29th.....

arizonakiwi - wohooo.... you trigger tonight!!!! goodluck girl....36 hrs would seem to fly by fast, before you know it, you'd be on the table for ER and in a few winks, embies will be transferred to you.... my experience with the trigger tho was bad... in the morning after my trigger shot, i went to work late because i woke up feeling nauseous .... i called the clinic and they said it's normal to feel like you're pregnant coz HCG is the hormone present when your'e pregnant.... goodluck to you and hope you dont go through what i had......

joviqal - goodluck on your test tomorrow..... POAS Queen!!!! hahahahaha i hope they confirm the good news tomorrow.... i use to be POAS addict too but this time, i guess im more afraid to know so i didnt even buy one.... pls let us know tomorrow asap .... i would love to see nimble having company up there on the list hehehehehe

transRN - cant wait for you to join nimble on the list too..... your beta will be thursday, mine will be friday.... wohoo.... we're almost there... im trying hard not to think about it so much.... by the way, are you also on progesterone shot?? how are you doing with it???

pmapsy - nice weather!!!glad you had a great day yesterday...... down here in chicago was nice too ..... 80s and sunny..... i had a class yesterday so i got a nice time outside driving with the very nice weather..... Repronex sting a little bit when i use to stick them to my belly too..... i guess id rather have that than the progesterone IM i am on now.... you will be done with repronex in no time... i didnt stay with it for so long.....goodluck

Daly - i hope your dog gets better soon.... i feel for you dear... i have a puppy at home too and i get stressed over little rasher... so i know how you must feel with him in the hospital....... cyber hug to you....

to everybody else, i hope everything;s going well with you... im still working on memorizing everyone and what's goin on with each of you.. so im sorry if i miss anybody.....

by teh way, i had my first appointment last friday after ET.. they said my levels are good - progesterone and E2 - i didnt ask for the numbers coz i dont wanna worry.... id be going back this friday for my beta and another one monday after that..... im still on progesterone shot and im now injecting it in my thigh since i cant reach my behind by myself hehehehe... it hurts tho', does anyone have the same experience? it's not during the injection but after my thighseem like hard..... should i go back to my butt??? lol....

have a good one everyone... catch u all later......

TansRN · Post by **TansRN** » Mon May 21, 2007 1:46 am

Hello Ladies

Marsxp-I am not doing well with the wait but the shot is about as to be expected. I have lots of lumps I do 2cc 100mg daily and there is no room left for more shots! They are stingy now because of all the land mines there!!!! I do my own in my booty! I sit in a chair and then turn around to do it. It is a bit of a contorshionest-sp act...I know you must be so excited to know what your beta is on Friday. I am going nuts here.

Angela
That is so great about being able to trigger! Woo Hoo. I know what you mean about tomorrow going slow! It is like the day before christmas vacation! It lasts forever! LOL Can't wait to hear! Why are they only wanting you to do one? I would want two! For sure.

Shantala
Sounds wonderful to have a great holiday! I need one of those soon. We are planning on taking a motor home across the United States to see the country side in August. I am really excited my parents are going to go and it should be a fun time.

Hi Jovigal and fellow POAS addict!
