LOL! Mia. I cannot believe you baked cookies. Me too. I baked over 6 dozen. I packaged up all but 6 and I will take them with me to the doctors office tomorrow. I couldn't resist eating some of the dough. I know it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but I couldn't resist. It was less than a teaspoon. mmmmmm.... After I ate my 6 cookies I decided on cabbage and a lean turkey patty for dinner. How great does that sound :roll: ~sigh~
How are the headaches? Have you taken anything for them? Maybe the cookies will help :wink:

Loopie-good luck tomorrow. I will be waiting for a gleaming report :D I'm tired of the 3 shots a day too. And its not really the shot, it's the timing, the mixing. But it will all be worth it in the end, right? :D

YAY TAMMY!!! Good luck with it all!!

Gosh seriously, I dont come on for awhile (a day I think) and I have so much catching up to do!! Everyone seems that everything is going along great. What is PAOS? (2ww girls?)

No more nausea for me!! Nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing I have noticed is if I do too mych I ache down there telling me to take it easy! I dont know if I had full blown OHSS if it is going away this easily...maybe just I had WAY WAY huge ovaries. Who knows. I am just very "full" down there if that makes sense. I can not wait...a week from tomorrow!! ugh. I am trying not to fall into a home test before then because of the HCG shot and the fact that the egg may not be implanted yet.

Okay, cooking chicken enchiladas! gtg.!

Ha..Tammy..sorry!! :P I'm on LA LA time.
Woo Hoo...you're beating Loopie & me. I am now Sat for ER...had u/s & b/w and they weren't as big, BUT there were more!! 11 now, and the biggest was 18, but there were several stuck at 15,16,17.. Sooo, gotta givem a little more lovin I guess. They said just down to 1 menopur tonight. They left a message so I didn't get the Estradiol..I'll get it tomorrow...gotta keep track.
You're on your own girl!! but I know you can do it & I know they'll get over their stage fright :)

Mia: sounds good with the pen & nice save from injecting twice! I hope the headaches get better....I'll trade you for my cough. Wonder if there's anybody with no side effects!

Corny: Thanks for the sites...I'm just devouring all the info I can & also those amazingly huge gooey, chewy chocolate chip cookies WEEZIE made, as I too have been sooo healthy lately!
Weezie: I just had a really bad coughing fit from one of those cookie crumbs :D . I have tried everything & gargling...thanks. Lots of H2o as well. It is a bit better now as I've dropped the Menopur dose. It's been the only real side effect, I just wish it wasn't so annoying.

KBear: I know I'll have to do an HPT...I was never good at waiting til Christmas morning. I'm glad you got Emby 1 & Emby 2....baby dust to both! :)

Loopie: I'll race you ? :D I'm tired of all these shots too. Fingers crossed for us triggering tomorrow night!!!!

Good stickies to everyone!

Just had one - they are delish!!That is sweet of you to take to the clinic. I usually send the majority of what I bake with dh to work! And I had some dough too - but hey I ain't pg yet so that it wouldn't matter. To make myself feel better for the little indulgence I had a tall glass of milk, so it all balances out! Headaches are strong in the morning and through lunch. Nope, I hate taking meds, plus I can't take my advil :x .. oops I almost burnt a batch while chattin away here :shock: .

ohhhhh lol. I definitely did not know that! Thanks! It is tempting though but I know it would not give me an accurate result.

I just did the HCG shot! Whew. It didnt hurt at all. Although, I had special instructions to change the needle and do it in the tummy. So it was a smaller needle than the follistim. Yayy. I am glad I didnt have to do it intramuscular.

21Bat: I have been eating pineapple alot lately...but heard that it is most important for 5 days straight after ET....I would guess a normal portion size.

Rinnie: Way to go today with more follies! I cant believe I am alone for Friday now. I dont wanna go first! * that was my whiny voice* LOL
Okay, soooo ....I will lead the way. You and Loopie will just have to be right behind me holding me up. LOL

Katie: Good Luck tomorrow!!! Sticky baby dust vibes!

Loopie: I hope you get to trigger tomorrow!!!

Mia: Yes, it is all happening really fast now. Wow!

Hi Everyone,

It sounds like everyone is well on their way. I think that I am way behind all of you :( I did not get AF yesterday, and no sign of her today. I figured as much, last time I was an entire week late while on Lupron. I called the RE's office. I was told to give a call if I haven't gotten AF by Monday...I hope it doesn't take that long, but it's probable.

Good luck to everyone. I love reading all of your updates!

Sage: I am doing the dancing AF jig for you! Come on AF ...show your ugly head!

Rinnie: DH said I was moaning in some cramping pain in the middle of the night...I dont really remember it. I took a HPT this morning ...just to see if the HCG is truly in me and that it truly worked. Strange seeing the BFP come up. Too bad it isnt real. Made me kind of sad...but then I figure that at least I know what it looks like when the real one shows up in 2 weeks. LOL

Tammy- LOL. I can't believe you did a HPT. So you got to trigger in the tummy? Cool. 8)

21bat- how'd it go?

Rinnie/Loopie- Well....

Katie/Kbear/Suga- I hope you are all resting. Sticky vibes :D

Me- Well, I just got back from the doc's and I have 8 follies (right- 13.4, 14.3, 13.3, 12.1--left 11.3, 13.3, 11.9, 8.6). I may go back tomorrow or Saturday, based on E2 (which I will get at noon). She also thought that I can possibly trigger as soon as Saturday or Sunday. We'll see. I gotta run. I'm going to call the acupuncture clinic and see if they can't fit me in.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL day. :D
