Hi guys,

Yes Su, this is a bummer. I can read the posts on the topic review, but it only goes back so far. So sad not to be able to check in. I feel like an addict. I know that you've heard this before, but the yoga a/or aquatics will give you more energy. The hardest part is just getting yourself there. You'll do it when you're ready.

Jen, I am sooooo impressed with the PMA. Keep it up girl. ANd pass some on to me. I'm feeling blue about DH LOOOOOW sperm count. THis sucks. But, It's gonna work!!! Right Jen??? Yes, it will. We will be pregnant. Glad that you have adoption in progress. You can have a bigger family that way! One or more through IVF and one or more from adoption. Grow family.

Nims, I am on max dose and I've found that each time I seem to be getting less follicles. Does that mean that my body is getting too used to the stimms and they aren't working as well? I am afraid of that. Sorry that you are os tired. Hope that headache is gone!

Stephjim, sorry to hear about all of the stress you are going through. Yes, it does seem that the times I need peace the most, things are the craziest. It's true for me at work this year. It's the craziest year at school and it's the time I need to relax the most. I just keep moving fprward. But I am stress eating and keep packing on the pounds. I am losing control. I hope that things mellow out for you. I think that under normal circumstances we wouldn't be as fragile. But given what we are going through, I think that it's ok for us to be a little crazy! We are here. What a great supprt system.

Steph, Miracle, Mia, Angel, Jackie, ICSI and anyone I missed. HELLO!

Was hoping that everything was working by now :( Maybe our dh's united and sabotaged the site??!

I have spent the majority of the day getting my tax stuff ready. fun, fun. Trying as hard as I can to get ot the lower tax bracket with all these write offs, but I don't think it is gonna happen :( Good news though my sis who did my taxes last year made a mistake, and didn't put in my education expenses, so I will be getting back 1000$ extra from last year :0) Woo-hoo!!

Miss everyone :( This is worse than when I I quit Coke (coca-cola :wink: )

This site is making me mad! WHAT IS UP WITH IT! I thought by the time I got home from hell it would be fixed!! Now THIS doesn't work and the only thing on tv is the stupid elections on Super Tuesday...what is so damn super about it???? Hell sucked...not as much as it could have but good enough! I had 2 yes 2 people call out!!! I think the storm kept a lot of customers away so that is good, but I'm so pissed at the damn slackers!

Ok I guess maybe I will just go to bed since I need to get up in a few hours for my shot! Maybe by the time I get home from hell tomorrow night this will be fixed. Are any other threads having this problem?? not that I check out any other threads!

anyone have any luck sending the site a message about the problem???

Evening Ladies -

Quickie for me tonight, getting a bit tired, two 12+ hr days and early mornings to boot... there is a reason I work evenings. Image

So....

Steph - Sounds like you've got a good little crop o' embies growing there. Are you feeling a bit out of control, having the monitoring?? You're accustomed to monitoring yourself with POAS and such... I would think it would be a tough transition. It would be for me. Hang in there... you'll be fine. Triggering at 0300?? Wowwy! Nothin' like waking up in the middle of the night to get a needle to poke yourself with? Geez. Do you have to worry with mixing too?

Stephjim - Just two more sleeps! Woo hoo! BTW, I'm right there with ya on the writer's strike and bringing back our fav shows... you listed my three most favs - the ones i NEVER miss - Heroes, Office and EARL! (I actually know someone who looks AND sounds exactly like Joy - she doesn't ACT like her, gratefully, but otherwise, spitting image!) Tell the ex-wife to stuff it, you don't need her baggage right now! Glad DH stood up for you. I feel your pain with the crazy, bi-polar ex - mine is a dewsie. We'll have to swap stories sometime. ;)

Jen1 - SOOOOOO glad to see your PMA up!!! Hang in there!!! Just a few more days!

Su - I know??! What is with this crazy board, I was thinking I was going nuts! Hope the homeopath can help with those energy levels and indigestion (OUCH!) YOGA!! I love yoga, but haven't been in some time due to scheduling conflicts. Aqua natal sounds fantastic! Those two things should at least relax you and may help that energy too! Get your butt off the couch! :)

Chriss - don't you worry about that low sperm count! Feed off Jen1's PMA!!!!

Mia - tax stuff, ewh! But hooray on the bonus from last year! It's like finding $ in your jeans! And oh btw, I officially hate you now... 5'10, size 6 and 34Ds? I knew you had BGBs, but I didn't know they were 34Ds. You Barbie doll. Image

Hi Nims, Becky, Miracle and everyone else... I don't like this review problem!!! I can't see everyone's stuff!!! Image

I missed Angel!! :( I'm sorry, sweetie... hope AF is good to you too, for one last time. Glad to see all is well and you'll be stimming soon. As for me, AF was weird, but not too bad, and really short (surprisingly!) But I'm on BCPs now, day 3 of 21. I'll be starting Lupron before I finish them, tho. Grow follies, grow!!

hi Hope- yup I get to mix em and stick em at 3:30...a half hour later than you have me waking up :) Yeh I should go to bed I know. I was headed there then I decided to make one last check in here before closing up. Glad to hear AF hasn't kicked your bootie, I know the bcp help! At what point do you start stims?

I sent an email to the board people about this...I'm sure they know already but oh well I feel I have done my good today haha

Ok now I am really off to bed...this review thing makes it hard to say hi to everyone...its BROKEN!!!!!

nite
Steph

Damn, still problems with the site. I totally agree - I'm so addicted to this thread that not being able to view it like normal is turning me into :evil:

Hey Stephjim - how are you today? Excited about testing tomorrow? How may HPTs have you bought?

Hope - how could you miss me from your post :cry: ? AF wasn't too bad this time. I'm on Day 3 of my stimms. Yikes - they hurt.

Steph, how did you send a mail to complain? We should all send one and flood their mailbox :)

Dont know if this will work as i cant seem to submit my messages to this thread :?: :?:

Am ok, feeling nothing but usually get af feelings in the tum during the last few days in all the other cycles so just hoping that stays away.
I have a bit of a hope in the back of my head that it will be a pos but am trying to focus on the adoption as i am just waiting for the next bfn---------why would i get lucky this time???

More waiting i suppose

Good luck Steph :lol:

hi guys I sent an email using the "feedback" link on the bottom left of the screen. Got an email back this morn from Samuel Marcus MD saying he'd forward the info over to the webmaster....obviously THEY are on a coffee break :wink:

Steph- I am so proud of you...I'd have SOOOOO poas already! I usually start about day 11 after iui! I get beat by a stick by everyone here, but it doesn't hurt all that much. Do you have your sticks all laid out for your morning pee :lol:

Jen- the feelings may just as well be a sign of your BFP!! Keep up the pma, it is a bit helpful to be preoccupied too with the adoption!

Right now I am so damn tired!!! I woke up at about 3am...anticipation and worry I guess that I'd sleep thru the alarm...or the power would go out or something. Laid there for a half hour, got up, mixed up my crack habit, injected it, then crawled back in bed...then couldn't really fall back asleep easily cuz I couldn't get comfy :cry: Right now I feel like a dang zombie and I wanna go back to bed but I need to go to hell :cry: It didn't hurt at all (so maybe I COULD be a diabetic- or a meth addict... haha). I keep telling the follies to keep growing and mature for their assignment tomorrow afternoon.

Okies...have a good day guys, hopefully by the time I get home from hell this will all be fixed. I can't believe they are doing this to all these hormonal women!!!! Do they NOT know they are taking their lives into their own hands???

Angel - I totally blame the stupid site problems! I had read your posts on what was "normal" but then I couldn't read it anymore when I got to the review - I usually have two open, so I can read beyond the post when there are a lot of pages, but I got flustered when I realized that I'd missed so much and didn't open the other page - I keep wondering "what else did I miss that isn't on the regular page and is beyond the realm of the review?!?!!" UGH. :evil:

So I'm going to plead insanity! ;) 3 days of stimming?? Do you have a tenative ER/ET date??

Steph - Thanks for sending the email to the website. Hopefully they'll fix it soon. UGH... that 0330 am thing is NUTSO! I hate that they made you do that!!! My first trigger was at 1930 and the second one was at 2400... 2nd was hard, since I was so tired that day, but nothing like the middle of the night!!! Can you resort to a little caffeine to keep you going?? Glad the shot wasn't too bad. I guess is was Subcu? Mine have been sub in the past, and I've only had to do PIO with IM. But this time they're switching on me and I have IM with MIXING for trigger. Lovely, messing with my routine! TOMORROW you'll be PUPO tho! And all will be worth it!!!!

Stephjim - Tomorrow's the big day for u too!!! POAS!! How many did you get? You haven't done it yet?? I'm afraid I'm a bit like Steph/Peq... I POAS early last time (tho I do a blood test) But my clinic does the blood test 18 days from ER.... UGH! That's nearly a 3 ww!!! No way I can wait that long! I POAS 13dpo and 15dpo, both BFP. But, I'm not a POAS Pusher, just a POAS junkie!!!! So don't take my lead!!!

Jen1 - get that PMA back into gear, dear! I totally understand focusing on the adoption, anything you can do that is positive and takes your mind off it, is good, but don't get so focused on it that you can't think sticky thoughts for your little ones!!! They're still there and hanging on!!! Don't you start thinking you're gonna get a BFN!!!!!! POSITIVE THINKING!!!! Besides, the LACK of symptoms, as Steph said, is a GOOD sign. Esp if it's different than before... but don't think too hard on it, or you'll start making your body feel stuff it doesn't! Hang in there, sweetie... We love ya and it's gonna be good!!!!!!

Alright... Off to work. Today will be better, not EARLY and not LONG, well, unless I decide to work a little over for the $$! DH is going to be exhausted tonight. He worked til 0130 last night and then had to be up at 0530 to go back. OUCH. Bless his heart, he works so hard and rarely complains... :) I love my DH, he's a good egg!!! :) OH, I didn't tell you guys, I got to see him "at work" the other night, which I rarely get to do... Without tmi... let's just say, nothin' like *my* man in uniform taking control of a situation! Image
