Angie: sorry to hear you are bummed. So, i won't be blowing sunshine up your a$$. (although i imagine it is a perfectly fine a$$

). Nah, this just sucks now. I can't even imagine stimming this long and looking at another wk. I guess i am happy that they have been very careful with you this time to avoid OHSS, but i am hoping that they increased dose of G-f will give those ovaries a kick in the a$$ (apparently my word of choice for this post

). You are NOT a cow for not going to the 1st bday party. We have to pick and choose what is best for us emotionally during times like this. You are doing something good for yourself.
Fee: sorry you will miss your trip w/dh, but as for self-absorbed sassy, i am happy you will be around (and to know that your clinic is open to bribes... thanks vicky for the tip

).
Amy: woohoo on the tax refund!!!! So, lets figure out how many fewer lemonade stands J will have to have....
Melissa: my dear, of course you are welcome to a t-shirt... in fact... those lurkers out there... and i know you are out there... may order one too! I mean, the more shirts spreading the doctrine of the sisterhood around the world, the better! irl i never swear.... but something about IF and banging my head over and over against a f***in" brick wall we call IVF has brought out the sailor in me

.
Patie: oooo, making a wedding dress.. very cosmo. I want to see a picture when it is done! Audacity in a wedding dress? hmmmm. I will send you the link again to my flickr site. If that doesn't work, then let me know and i will pm you a picture of me and dh. As for the tshirt...try to order it directly.... if that doesn't work, just pm me the size you want and i will order it and ship it to you.
Coco: LOVE the HGTV house idea. I am assuming, thought, that it will be perpetually stocked with cheetos and Marie Callendar's chocolate satin pie? I imagine that goes without saying.... Colorado is my fave place (did grad school in Denver) now you said it was in the mountains... i am hoping near good skiing??? Think how cool we will look swishing down the slopes in our t-shirts!!!
Jenn: ??Pokeno?? what is that, pray tell? Hope it goes well with the pregos!
Wanna: man... you know... you really know how to put suspense into a post. I started reading your post and then couldn't take it anymore, so had to skip down.... good thing you had put BFP in bold.... after i knew it was good news, then i went back and read the whole thing.... i am just not very good with suspense

. Kudos on how you told your dh. Now you can just savor the BFP. Congrats!
Shantala: hey girl! Thanks for tracking me down! Yep, i think i am ready to start stims... not as excited as i have been before, but grateful that i get another shot. I imagine you will be having ER soon.... will be following how that all goes!
As for me, almost back to normal now. still have this d*mn sore throat that is hanging on.... probably since i never had a chance to really take time off and get better. I expect to spend the wkend sitting on the couch watching tv!
So just 'cause i had no other creative ideas... and so that i can keep track myself, started a ticker that ACTUALLY has to do with my cycle (i know, SOOOO last thread of me

). Don't worry.... after my retrieval i will come up with something good like... next time i will be changing my oil, etc
oooooo, and girls, i am SOOOO excited... i reunite with the dildocam tomorrow for baseline. It has been so long... like over a month now and as you can imagine, i am waiting with baited breath....
