Rosie and Laura -- loving the tickers!
Christy - jelly filled doughnuts are a Chanukah tradition -- someone brought in a TON and put them out on my (receptionist) desk -- I didn't eat a single one! I was so proud of myself!
Try to resist the junk food at work. Maybe bring in healthy munchies (like apple slices) so that you can munch , but not eat junk (although, I should really practice what I preach! I'm eating chocolate biscuits for breakfast!)
Gina - I'm glad you like the Kindle Fire. A friend of mine's husband has an iPad and she just got an Asus tablet running android. I think I'll want an android tablet because I have an android smartphone -- but because this technology is so new and booming, I want to wait as long as possible to buy a tablet- I think the prices will get lower and the technology will get better. Hopefully, I'll be on bed rest within the next year though! --- Jan 2 is so soon! Hurray for starting! As for blood work, I had to do EVERYTHING, but then again, my insurance was approving this. I would call the RE and see what they want you to bring with you.
Patricia - oooh I hope you can lose that last 10 lbs easily and quickly! Your cycle is coming up so soon! -- I saw that Sinead O'Connor thing on People.com and the first thing I thought of was you!
Laura - my clinic does u/s really early (5w2-3d for the first one) but I'm always still anxious until we see a heartbeat. I think that maybe waiting is a better idea. Only 1 more week! Congrats on getting the ticker to work. If you run out of space (exceed the character limit) try making the ticker URL into a smaller URL by using a URL shrinker. ---- as for the estrogen/progesterone supplements -- my doctor says around 11-12 weeks to just stop. I always am scared to stop cold turkey, so I wean down. Technically, by 10 weeks you can stop, so anytime after that is fine.
Lydia - WOOO HOOO! That's a great beta. Better than your chemical and ectopic, no? Feel better! That OHSS sounds pretty nasty!
Rosie - Teen Mom 2? YAY! I love that show. And I'm always super emotional when pregnant -- The summer that Katy Perry's ridiculous song "California Gurlz" came out, I cried everytime it came on the radio. I'm surprised you got Zofran so easily. I was told that it's not approved by the Health Ministry and I had to get a TON of paperwork processed to get mine (and this was my THIRD pregnancy with HG - severe vomiting).
Bonnie - congrats! I hope you see a great heartbeat (or two) next week!
Tiger - Hello, old friend! Welcome back! Yeah... my life is a bit crazy, no? I'm so excited that they found sperm! I really hope they get some and the ICSI works. Will you have donor sperm back up? Michele just did a cycle (they are not open to the idea of donor sperm) and had to cancel when they couldn't find any sperm in her husband's TESE just before she triggered. Hopefully, won't happen to you, but maybe as a back up. I hope to be cycling with you by February, and hopefully sooner!\
AFM - well - the show opened last night and is a great success.
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 571&type=3 Not sure if the link will work, but here are some photos from our dress rehearsal. You can see me in one of them -- I'm wearing a purple skirt, blue shirt, purple cape and a big blue/purple hat!
I'm trying to focus on the show and forget about the damned ectopic pregnancy. I really hope that my beta is going down. Not sure I'll be able to wait until Sunday -- maybe I'll use one of my beta Rx'es to get a test done on Thursday....
But glad your show gave you a break from the IVF world.
