Adsgirl - Thanks so much for keeping up with the list!!

Jude - Way to go on the 2nd beta, this board is gonna be filled with twins :) Holy sh*t is exactly what my DH was saying we got our 2nd/3rd betas, although he really wants twins (just not more) :) I use the Crinone gel progesterone and have no idea how all of you great women have made it this far with more shots!! I'm really nauseous again today and I think it's again because I didn't sleep very much last night. DH is almost as crazy as me though..I rolled over last night and had a "stretchy" feeling way low and he panicked and said he's going to be on pins an needles for 9 months :)

Dakota - Totally agree on your asylum comment, I have no idea how women make it that long and not go completely insane. I have DH look at my boobs every day to tell me if they look different, which I have to say he isn't complaining about :D I'm only 6 weeks into it and already feel crazy, just 32 more weeks to go!

DAKOTA - That's an awesome name for a new board!!!!

TMI question for anyone......I was given the ok to start the Endometrin suppositories 5 days a week 3 times a day and not do the progesterone shot.....however I was sooooo incredibly grossed out after 1 day with the "after effect"! I told my DH that I would endure the injections over the "mess" anyday! Has anyone else had this issue??? What in the world are you doing to deal with the "mess"?????

Do the suppositories leak out? My RE suggested a panty liner, but I'm not having that issue with the gel, although I know many women do. I'm having an issue with discarge every couple of days (sorry, TMI), but they also recommend a panty liner for that too and said it goes on the entire pregnancy.

As much as the shots get old after a while and now that I am doing them myself, I think I would continue them over the gunk.

Sorry, TMI warning...sometimes when I am in a hury and forget my liner, I swear I need a shovel to scrape the paste off. So DH caught me in the bathroom once with tissue trying to "scrape" it off and he asked me what was with the panty paste.

Oh man, you are so grim!! Thanks for that, now after my first try with the prometrium suppository that's all I'll be thinking of!

By the way - I have to take them 3 x a day, and the RE said that sex was okay now - er, I was figuring do the deed before the third one? Sorry, gross thoughts!! :?

Man, I am LOL!!!
Probably because I haven't tried it yet so have yet to see the results!
And at this point I figure even with a bucket load of panty paste :shock: DH is feeling so deprived he'd probably just close his eyes and git r done! :lol:

Hopeful - Ahhh, the panty paste! You're not by yourself with that one. I hate the suppositories. I've been on them since 6/12th and the paste doesn't go away. I wear pantyliners to deal with it. I would've rather had stayed on the PIO shots, but I wasn't given that choice. I take the suppositories 2x a day, but thank God that this is my last week.

Jude - After my husband saw what comes out from the suppositories, he told he'll wait until I'm done taking them before doing 'the babydance' again. It turned him off. :lol:

My best friend also told me that you may have to wear a pantyliner for most of the pregnancy due to wetness. And to think that I thought I was done with pads/pantyliners for 9 months. :roll:

ROFL!!! Hysterical, but sooo true.
I so needed a good laugh.

Can you ladies please help me. I put a new topic as needing help with a progesterone question. I just don't know what to use.... the PIO ir Crinone Gel. My RE doesn't combine them. Can you ladies please remind me what you used, and what you think I should use??

Thanks!

Oh good lord, DH would jump on my right now if we could, paste or no paste. He'd say the sloppier the better! Poor guy, I feel bad for him. I thought about buying him a jar of jelly and putting it in a box with a bow on it :twisted:

Kimmy-I use PIO. They are not bad, but I went through a spell on vaca where I got welts and ichy brusies because I didnt get my heating pad hot enough after the shots, but they are not so bad. When I had the discussion with my RE before we did all of this DH went white when he found out he had to give me a shot and RE said that he really wanted us to do the PIO verses anything else because he thought they were the best. Now I think Angram is using the Crinone Gel and she has some awesome P #'s, she has them posted on her signature.
Good luck!!

I got no sleep last night!! I was so tired when I went to bed, but I just laid there all night long. :x I've been getting these pintching pulling feelins in my crotch, anyone have these? I am going nuts for my 2nd u/s tomorrow. I am so paranoid. I am so trying to keep the PMA, I sing and talk to my belly, I feel like a moron, but I am convinced they can hear me.
