Awaiting Treatment

[pequele]

steph -- you probably told and i forgot.....but did hr find your actual contract??? and is va willing to wait little extra time???

Angie- yeh they suck and FOUND IT. I haven't told the VA yet. I am gonna see how the other 2 interviews go...and I will tell them at the interview when I am actually available. I'd actually wouldn't mind the job where I'd have to move because of the commute...but it is 8-4 M-F no weekends no holidays!!! THAT WOULD BE LIKE HUMAN!

Oh hell was wonderful today...in about a week we have knocked off 3-4 people that started working there or were supposed to start and never showed up! Yeh people here SUCK! My morning pharmie stayed an extra 3 hrs despite me telling her to LEAVE!!!! I don't want to feel obligated to stay..I want the hell out when my time is up for the day haha.

Now 4 months 1 week and 1 day left!

I'm tired. I had to get up at 4:00 am so that I could shower and get to the dr.'s office and then back to work by 8:00am. These dr. visits are exhuasting me. They just checked progesterone today.

UGH I am soooo not a morning person...my pool boy is gonna get up in the night with the babies

So can they "see" anything with progesterone testing? I mean I know they have to check it to be sure it is high enough, but is there any sort of level that means pregnancy vs not??? I don't know cuz I only got my progesterone checked the 1st time I got my bfp since I was having short luteal phases...and progesterone is what sustains the luteal phase.

I don't get all this testing sometimes! WHY do you have to go so often???

Hi everyone

Jen1D, how are you? We are here when you are ready to chat with us. We love you.

Stephjim, good luck today with mock transfer. Good attitude about DH. What more can you do?

Mia, ohhhhh, you are getting so close girl. How are you? Do you feel anything?

Steph, good question about the progesterone. I suppose that high levels could tell them something, but they were only going to call me if levels were too low. They sometimes prescribe suppositiries during IUI if progesterone is low. I guess it was just a safety measure. They really didn't think I had any progesterone problems, but I guess they will try anything for me at this point. I don't feel much. Except a little down in the dumps. My DH and I are really not expecting this to work. Not a good attitude I know. We are open to the miracle of course, but we are mentally prepared for next IVF cycle. Of course getting the BFN is never easy. I am never really prepared for it. So my 2ww is low key in my mind. Much different feeling than when I am doing IVF cycle. Ivf cycle has all the progesterone butt shots after the transfer. So the whole 2ww is sore-butt time. A constant reminder. Plus, all that progesterone gives ya false symptoms. DO you fell anything? When do you test? Is it blood or PEE-PEE?

Hi girls. How are you all?

Chriss try and keep up the PMA, I want to type PMS every time I type PMA There is always room for miracles.

I go for my thing today at 1:30. I wish DH could go, but I can do it by myself. I know it is not really painful, just wish he could be there. It is getting harder and harder to remember to take the BCP because I am also taking the antibiotic for the mock transfer so I can't take it within 2 hours of like my vitamin, etc. My body is really sensitive to BCP when I was on them before if I missed it by even 4 hours I would start the period starting. So I have to stay on top of it. Yesterday I was about 2.5 hours late taking it. I will find out today about when I am starting the shots I hope that it is the 27th that is only 15 days away. My own little 2ww.

How is everyone doing? Mia I am sure you are getting anxious. just 2 more days. We are all pulling for that BFP!!!!!

Hello everyone else.

[Miracle08]

Hello everyone!!!

Jen- hope you are doing ok. Please take some time for you and DH. We will be here when you are ready.

Mia-GOOD GIRL so glad you resisted!!! Just two more days!! I am so excited for you.

Stephjim- good job on the garage. Me and DH need to do the same. Good luck today. Boy, seems like you will be stimming in no time!! Sorry you are having a hard time with DH smoking. Trust me, I know how you feel. MY DH smokes too...

Pequele-How you doin'?

To all the MOMMIES to be, hope you all are taking care of yourself and enjoying every moment of this miracle!!!


Lara- I was shopping all weekend with my sis. That is one of our greatest skills!!!

Chriss- PMA PMA!!!! I am praying for you!!! So hoping this will be a BFP!!!

[waitingforMia]

Have I told yall lately how great it is to not work and sleep in till 10!!! ok, ok I'll stop rubbing it in!!

Miracle: You posted but didn't mention whats new with you/ Did you start prenatal vitamins or change anything in your diet to get ready for your June IVF?? That kinda helped the wait until my IVF b/c I felt like I was doing something besides just waiting.

Stephjim: Good luck today! Yeah I wish my dh was able to go to me on more of my appts... SOme dhs are there for every b/w it seems But at least he is able to be there the times I really needed him like ER and ET. I ste my alarm clock to take my bcp every day. Actally I was surprised how faithfully I took them at the same time cuz I am ususally horrible with meds. Dh did help in reminding me also. Now getting him to take the Doxy was a nightmare!!

Chriss: I feel nothing but the need to pee a lot. I had cramping this morning for a bit, but that is it. Trying to stay positive here , but ther few days before pt I think I try to prepare myself, but I am trying to resist that and just be excited.... so it really depends on the moment if I am feeling PMA! I am still pulling for you.

Stephjim: I like to play the Agatha Christie Mystery Murder games on my PC sometimes

Peqe: The Progesterone check from what I know does not signal anything, it just makes sure it is being produced naturally. Four more months in helll, huh? I HATE contracts!

Well two more days and I am soooo tempted to POAS. But will try to hold out, cuz I donth think those damned things work... at least they have never worked for. Plus I want to tell dh on vday and I don't think I would be able to keep quiet for 2 days!!!

Have a great day!

[stephjim]

Do you also go for bw on Thursday Mia or just POAS.

Yeah DH got the newest CSI game for my laptop while ago and then I went out after completing that in like 2 days and found the first two on Ebay. I love them.

[waitingforMia]

Stephjim: b/w for me. But I might POAS while I wait for the nurse. I'dlike to be prepared.

What do you girls think about lifting heavy things during the 2ww? I picked up my god-daughter (3yrs) yesterday w/o thinking. I know pg ppl lift heavy things, but I read that the strain can tear the placento from the womb or something. I am sure nothing happened yesterday, but I want to be careful...

[waitingforMia]

Ok I need someone to tell me to NOT POAS!!! Please someone stop me!!

[Miracle08]

Hey there MOMMA MIA!!! STOP DO NOT POAS!!!! You will regret it!!!
I am doing IUI in June/July. I am on vitamins & trying to eat more healthy. I am such a pickey eatier though. It sucks!!

[stephjim]

Mia, yeah they don't want you to pick up anything heavy during the 2ww because of what you said. I would not worry, though. I am sure you are fine. BUT DON"T PEE ON A STICK!!!!!! Just two more days. Also don't put all your stock in the stick either remember they are not conclusive, bw is.

[chriss]

Mia, are your boobs sore at all? Frequent urination is a pregnancy symptom... So about the POAS, some people feel that it is fine to POAS. On another thread, someone told me she POAS for a few days before bloodwork. The tricky thing about it is that negatives can really be positives and positives can end up being "false" alarms if a pregnancy starts, but doesn't quite make it. That's happened to me before. I got a BFP and the next day, the line was GONE!!! UGH. It was very sad. I do know how hard it is to wait!!! THe closer it gets, the harder it gets, right?????? Hang in there. PMA all the way. (easy for me to SAY, not so easy for me to DO)

How are all you guys doing?

Stephjim, let us know how it went when you get home today.

Hi Mracle, Steph and all the rest of yas.
