JustOneMore - Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time - especially with the d@mn weight gain <-- nothing worse than going through all this AND getting fat - nothing like getting kicked while you're down - d@mn drugs!
Make sure you're drinking plenty of water - even slightly dehydrated, and it'll slow your metabolism down. By the time you feel thirsty, it's too late, you're dehydrated!!
ajobzn - Soooo sorry you got that call - the worst call ever!! You'd think they'd come up with a better way of telling us!? I find there's nothing worse than hearing a stranger on the other end of a phone, tell you that after all you just went through, it didn't work. In fact, since I was the one who called for our IUI's, I told my DH I just couldn't do it again, and made him answer the phone for our IVF - I just couldn't stand hearing it again.... not that it was any easier when he answered the phone.... but... you know!?
I'm not sure how they could make it better for us - Oh wait, I know, to NEVER have to get that call - to have IVF work each n every time - then I'd be more than willing to take that call!! hehehe
I'm hoping you're right and everyone seems tohave it work on the 2nd go around, as this is our 2nd - go embabies go!!
As for bedrest, I went home after my ET and stayed on the couch, only getting up to pee. The next day I was pretty lazy - I got up once or twice, to pee or check my email. The 3rd day, I rested most of the day, til late afternoon, then went and did some shopping and me and my DH took my daughter driving<-- I have a 16 year old daughter from a previous relationship (had her when I was 17) and havent been pregnant since. But this time around, I think I might rest a bit more - but for no longer than 3 days - even that and I was bored silly and hating laying down - that, and I hear it's good to get up and walk around - get some blood moving.
3rdtimesthecharm - YAY - you have your schedule - soo jealous of you right now! hehehe I'm hoping to have mine within the next week - and if I had to guess - I'll be about the same as you, as I start the Suprefact on the 10th (for about a week-10 days) then I'll start stimming shortly after that. Ohhhh exciting/terrifying/nerve wracking/thrilling!!
Does anyone know how to do up a chart in here? I'd love to see one - one that has: our names, our ages, which # IVF this is and our approximate schedules on it..... kinda keep track of everyone!?
Well, I guess I should head to work now - man, cant wait for the day I get to go on mat leave!
Happy Friday everyone!
