Hey Acornmom, I hope it is contageous!!!! Okay ladies...just so you know. I am on ALASKA TIME.....yah we move like pond water up here literally, not as slow as Hawaiian time, but pretty darn close. I am posting this at 946 My time, so I have until around 2 pm to get my results. All I know that either way the news goes, i will be a crybaby mess! and I gotta tell ya, I am not one of those Drew Berrymore cryers! I cry ugly, ya, very. Not pretty! At all!

SO here i sit with baited breath, having weird symptoms, my once prominant sympt have subsided, however feeling more light headed from time to time, like dizzy when I walk, oh and had (TMI Warning) diarrhea this morn. Sorry.... but this is a sym I have when AF is about to arrive, I dont feel crampy and my low back is not hurting like it usually do,

I swear I am losing my mind here. Get this, I embrace every pg symptom an deny ever af symptom, I think i am a head case, and I have a psych degree. I need a couch! Actually, IVF-Infertility is my COUCH!

Thanks ladies for all your well wishes and crossed fingers, I really really appreciate it!

acornmom,

Welcome to this board and congratulations to you and your family!

Kat,

So, what is the result? I would have done HPT already!!!

Catharine,

How are you doing? When will you start your cycle?

Tammy,

While you are expecting your AF, I keep thinking the last time when you had Andrew, you were the same, expecting AF, but you got a son! Since you did not do the blood work to confirm a negative HPT, I think if your AF does not show up on time, you might be preg again!

Hello Renee,

I followed your story on the other over 40 site. Nice to see you posting here. How do you like it here in the mainland compared to Hawaii? I have been to Maui in 2004 and Oahu in 2007, I loved Maui a lot!

Take care, everyone!

Kat - Given the situation Dr Tracy would suggest a shot of "Jack Daniels" but given your condition - the new precription is a shot of "Gatorade" and a sandwich for your tummy. Also, if the phone rings and it is NOT the RE just say you are sick at the moment and hang up on them !!

From you ETA there are only 3 more hrs. to wait. We are here for you!!

UPDATE: 1:00 I swear I feel like I am going to get my period! :shock: :evil:

I ate some cheetos Doc and some peanut M&M's and lots of H2O real healthy huh?

Anyway, I have no apetite, just waiting....tiiiiiicckk tooooooccckkk....

Can your period come if you are taking PIO shots? If it is "time" for your period to come (theoretically), and you are taking PIO shots, and it "Feels" like AF is coming but is held off because of the PIO. Am I saying this right? I guess what I am saying is Does AF behave as if she is coming and just waiting in the wings for you to stop the injections....I hate that *****! Oh now I'm getting mean....2WOH! UGGHHhhh

I am going to hide office ater the news, I dont think I can make it to the safe haven of my Yukon before the nurse tells me the relsults, I am, after all on the top floor of our building.....In case you all are wondering, i am going insane. :roll:

later, luv

UGGhhh it's only one thirty, it felt like a whole day! What the heck.?!?!?!!? :shock:

I think I will head towards my truck in about 15 minutes, so i can just sit in there and then drive home--hidding behind my sun glasses. and what if they dont call me right at 2. Then I'll really be freakin out.

the more i sit the more i obsess. The more I obsess the more worried I become, the more worried, I become the more I am convinced AF will arrive and that my dear friends, makes me want to cry.

later luv,

Kat - go in your office - close the door - and call them !! If they don't have the result at least you can ask again about what time they expect.
Tell them you have people all over the world waiting!! I have done that to my RE a few times (told them I couldn't wait and called them).
