Dr. A wants you to increase you dose to 325 and come back on Friday instead of Thursday. I already changed you on the schedule. Let me know if you have any questions.

Well. I think they are growing slower than the RE expected, but no worries, I am still positive :) I need to order a refill on the Gonal F...

mia -- never actually done it, but my nurse says you can take one of your syringe/needles and poke right in the end (where you would normally snap the needle on to) and draw it out....but i have NO idea how to measure it once you get it in the syringe??????

Hello Ladies-

Real quick, cause Steph and Mia kept me up WAY too late last night and my butt is draggin' today! :) (loved it girls! great chat!)

Su - best of luck at your scan tomorrow!!! Your little one is gonna be waving at mummy!!! Let us know how it goes

Angie - next test is Thursday? Don't fret about the numbers!! No stressin'!

Steph - where is that witch!!!! She's hiding from both of us!!!

Becky - So glad work is going better!! And it sounds like we could be on the same schedule for this cycle! I'm thinking AF better show up at LEAST by 1/31 - 2/1 - then I do 21 days of BCPs, which puts me at ER around 3/7. Let us know how work is going...

Angel - Sorry work is still a PITA! I totally feel ya! We had a unit meeting today and I probably got myself into trouble opening my mouth about the stupid things requested of us... that we do. The supervisor (my old job, til I stepped down because it's so AWFUL!!), has NO spine... and won't tell the brass that the things they want are pointless and a total waste of time. So I told him ... ugh... well - it's true!! Plus, he's not MY supervisor - so I don't really care! sometimes the truth needs to be told!!! Hang in there, sweetie!!

Chriss - so glad you like us! :) We're gonna be dancin' the follie jig for you before you know it!

OK, i know i'm missing a few - that's why i did some individual posts... I'm sorry... I just can't keep up today!! But know I'm lovin' ya!!! ;)

Still no AF!!! Where is SHE??!!! Today is 6 wks 4 days since D&C. It's about time already!!!!! Image

Nighty night, lovelies... :) (OK, so you know that was TOTALLY short, for me, anyway!!)

I dunno what you do to get the meds out of the pen with very little in it... but you'll have to do 2 shots if you don't have 325 units as an option! Use those math skills, girlie! I had to do two a few times, when switching pens, finishing one, starting another. Just another poke, right??

Ok, I did it but I didn't get 325 units, I only got 317. I will have to call tomorrow and ask how I am supposed to give myself 325. Then shows 300, 375, and a mark inbetween.. 337.5 I guess.

OK - so which one is it????? first ya said tomorrow....then you're all "no, it's thursday"........
that's cuz im retarded! it is thursday

today was a BLAST at work!!! so apparently my night guy called out this morning for tonite and my scheduler was calling my store manager back and forth all day. by 8pm they basically had no one and scheduler asks if i'd call my day guy (who left over an hour and half late at almost 5 when he was supposed to leave at 3!) and see if he'd come back in at like 2am...then he wanted me to work til 2 then COME BACK for my morning shift! I was like NO FECKING (to quote Becks) WAY! Oh well what if you came in at 9, that is 7 hrs of sleep. I was like NO it isn't 7 Hrs of sleep since I won't get home and go to bed asap then i have to wake up at least an hour and half before going in to take a shower, feed the animals etc. Sorry but I don't wanna feckin kill anyone cuz I haven't SLEPT! He's like I do it on 5 hrs sleep, I was like good for you. Then he is like well I'm working 5 doubles in a row cuz my partner went into labor 7 weeks early (yeh probably cuz this fecking job did it to her!) . I'm like good for you, that is your choice not to try to find other poeple to take those OT shifts, that is your choice to PLAN AHEAD and KNOW you are doing that many shifts during normal waking hours. I have no intention on staying up til 2 am for work to stay up even later once I get home to settle into bed! Tell you what...you do that then go in the next day for your double!!! GRRRRRRRRR as it is finally someone took pity on us and came to do the shift, I just had to stay til 11:15. But dear LORD I HATE my job!

Ok, now BREATHE!!!!

-chriss
luv ya too Chriss!

A CV is a Ciriculum Vitae...I spelled it wrong. but it is basically a really long resume about your life. it tends to have more info on it related to your professional life, like my presentations and papers i have done. not just jobs and clubs etc. Mine really hasn't changed since I graduated except putting hell on there...sucks all the life outta me there is no time to do anything else!

BBRRRR I just had ice cream and I'm freezing

Holy crap Heath Ledger died!
