Kat - fingers crossed for you! I hope the SnS goes great today and no one says the evil "C" word ("cancel"!)
Tiger - enjoy your accupuncture! I found it relaxing too - I always fall asleep!
Carol - I agree with you that my view on infertility has completely changed since we've started to have trouble concieving. You are so lucky that your son got the liver he needed, but it's so sad that another family had to lose their son for you to have yours.... I hope you get lots of (easily-acheived) grandchildren one day!
also, accupuncture doesn't hurt. The needles are tiny, so you don't even feel them going. I find that it helps not to look at them, since I'm grossed out by looking at things sticking out of my skin. Sometimes a needle will touch a nerve and give you a shock, but you just tell the accupuncturist and they move it.
Hope - Italy and France ain't half bad! One thing I love about living in Israel is how close we are to Europe. Instead of vacations to Ohio or West Virginia (like I had growing up in Western PA) - I vacation in London and Paris - now Greece! For us, Europe is much closer and cheaper than visiting America
nwquiz - I moved you back up on the list. It feels better feeling like you are moving forward rather than just sitting at the bottom, no? So sorry you were BFN, but hopefully the next one will work! I totally understand getting a job with fertility insurance benefits.... here in Israel we have national health care (it's great!). People don't understand how hard it is for Americans with the shitty health care system and awful insurance nightmare! I know friends who took jobs they hated because the benefits were better - that's stupid. Hopefully America will figure this out!
Lauren1711 - yay! congrats on starting stims!
Margi - thanks for the penguin blinkie! only 9 more days until my HSG and your WTF
Samantha - congrats on getting AF! Amazing how we either really really want a period - or really really don't! What's the next step for you, darling?
Sunshine 12 - congrats on your ER! 11 is great! I'm a great responder, and I've had 18 and 14 mature eggs in my two fresh cycles - so 11 is great. Any idea when the ET will be? Does it depend on how many embryos are developing (ie 3day or 5day)?
Kimber - See? We told you the injections were so bad.

I'm a big expert now! No advice on the fertility massage though
Sunshine 1576 - I'm glad you decided on something. Sometimes having a plan, any plan - is better than no plan.
Kristin (krcaja) - maybe they want you to lower the stims because you are responding very well. I remember that the day of my trigger (hcg) shot, I about halved my Follistim dosage.
Riya - how did the beta go on Friday?
JamieP - good luck today! Let us know how that beta goes!
AFM - feeling sick! Oh NO! Sore throat (swollen), coughing, headache, tiredness, achiness..... I have to get better before we go to Greece on Thursday!
Anyone else get a weird obsession that you are pregnant but just don't know it? I have the feeling that I'm pregnant. Is that crazy? I got the BFN from the FET about 3 weeks ago and I've been on BCP since. I got a really heavy period after the failed FET. I've been spotting a bit on the BCP. I stopped the BCP to get a period for the HSG and the bleeding has picked up a little bit (no real flow yet) ----- WHY AM I OBSESSEDTHAT I'M PREGNANT? I know that I'm not.... but somehow, I wonder if they messed up my beta results.... I've had bleeding while pregnant.... hmmm.... WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH ME?
I think it's just a crazy dream - that I'll go in for a routine check for my new IVF, and there will be a baby in there. Not at all likely (I don't ovulate on my own, I'm taking BCP *AND* our main problem is exceedingly low sperm count (almost none) and I haven't had sex with anyone but DH!).... Am I really going absolutely nuts?
