Chris – I can hear you on the bored thing – I have been bored all day and I have just under 2 hours left for the day – UGH!!! I have stuff to do but no will to do it. Fridays are always like this for me.

I had read that some of you are having problems with constipation on some medications – what medications are you having problems with? I have been kind of concerned because I have always had problems with this no matter what (TMI) and I drink an herbal laxative tea twice a week in order to correct it, but I wont be taking that while doing any of this. I just wanted to know what was in store for me.

Hi all - did my ET!
It went very smoothly. of the 6 eggs that fertilized - one slowed down, 3 look like they are on their way to freeze (fingers crossed) and they transfered two beautiful blasts! I'm very excited. they gave us pictures :)

Although the taxi ride home hitting pot holes kind of freaked me out - hope they're still there ....

NY4thtry
- you asked about my clinic - I'm at NYU IVF - basically they are like Cornell just smaller. same philosophy/technique etc and the doctors cross pollinate. I like them so far....

anyway fingers crossed - i'm going to try to relax now after a taxi ride from hell.... maybe i'll take the subway next time....
