Hello ladies!!! How are my favorite pregnant and soon to be pregnant friends?
Wehavehope- I hope you feel better! I have always heard that gatorade helps. So sorry you are going through this.
Indigofire/zdia- stay strong and positive...and if it were me I would stay away from those sticks and keep the PMA going. But that is just my way and I know many need to pee
Cwehr- I am so happy for you and am continuing to pray for your healthy embies to keep dividing and get ready to go home. I felt so bad for you in the last cycle. IVF is tough enough without having to experience what you did last time.
tohavefun- It is your time, I know it! PMA!!!
AFM- I am officially on vacay and am relaxing. Had my u/s today and as I suspected they are going to have me trigger tomorrow night and ER will be Monday. ET will be on Saturday. Looks like we have 11 good follicles- I was happy to see one of the two latecomers catch up with the others. I had a GREAT last day of work until I had a major fertility crisis at the end of the day.
I had to order extra meds after being suppressed early and had them delivered to my office. Well, I work for a bank but not in the "branch" part which gets locked up separately when the branch closes. I am not a customer facing employee and I do not have a key for security reasons. My office has a separate entrance and its just safer if employees that don't need access to where the vault is don't have it (to avoid hostage situations and such). So naturally the mail gets delivered to the branch and the teller who signed for it put it in my mailbox in the branch area which is just fine...as long as I pick it up prior to the branch staff leaving for the night. They USUALLY let me know when they leave for the night and that they are locking me into my area and out of the branch. Why they chose tonight of all nights to skip that part is beyond me but they did. And yep... I was locked away for the night from the meds I desperately needed with no key to get in. So...I had to find my emergency call list and start dialing for branch staff who had keys to come back and let me in. It took 45 minutes and about 6 calls before I found someone who answered. I was so afraid I wasn't going to get them and I was super stressed out because the clock was ticking on when I was supposed to take them. Arghhhhh! Best of all, the lady who let me back in brought her 6 year old daughter who asked me "what is in the box?" I said "medication I need". She says "are you sick?" Well...suffice it to say I was unprepared for that so I told her and her mom the truth.
it's official, I am out of the IVF closet at work!
(I was with my boss and several employees already anyway, but this will take it to a whole new level)
Gotta love IVF! Every cycle brings a new adventure.
my abdomen is distended, my pants barely fit, my abdomen hurts, and God forbid I cough, sneeze, or hiccup I see stars and my uterus feels like it's going to fall out. Can it possibly get any worse? Can someone relate? Any suggestions for feeling better? I am in constant pain and discomfort. 
Those are the shots I dread. I did get my Lovenox yeterday. Prefilled syringes and ready to go. That is a blood thinner my RE is putting me on just in case I really need them and last time I "got lucky".
Hoping a wonderful BFP for you.
