Lissath, I don't see the pic, am I brain farting? lol

Carison, I'm glad to hear I am not the only one who experienced "mammary challenge" haha

Sunshine Mind, I've never taken valium before, so I'm not sure. It wasn't really overpowering or anything, just ...chill

Bambi, congrats on great numbers!

Lab, how are you feeling?

So I've only told a few people that we are expecting- today I told my best guy friend and he was so excited. His wife calls me back and she's equally excited, but her first question was whether it was IVF. I wasn't prepared how to answer and said yes, but that we weren't really telling people this. She said "yeah, twins...i thought IVF". Great, apparently this is going to be a common question and it has kinda ruined my day :/ (only because I know I will face this question many, many times more)

For my FET I didn't make it either. I had my RE insert a catheter!

You're right, probably that question will come up again. I'm sorry, but it really shouldn't be a question one asks, don't u think? They should just say, WOW, congrats. But people are curious, and overstep and ask questions that aren't appropriate all the time. Hopefully it won't always be THE question, but if it is, you can always choose to tell or not to tell. If it were me I would say something like, "we are elated to be expecting, and that's all that matters, right?". Their answer will be, oh, of course! And hopefully end the prodding.

I hope to have to address the same question in about 12 to 16 weeks! Just concentrate on those twinkles and enjoy every second of your pregnancy!

Trinity - I just felt relaxed last time when I took it (Valium), just nice warm feeling....almost forgot that I had OHSS....
Oh, and I just read your post about the friend asking whether "through IVF"....first I wanted to say "jerks"...but then I thought about my SIL - she is practically my best friend and has only my best interest at heart....well, she used to say all sorts of inappropriate things to me during IVF...but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that she simply didn't understand and couldn't possibly understand what I am going through...so perhaps your friend didn't mean anything by it....they were simply jealous .
This time I told SIL and other family members to simply not ask me about my "progress"...

I hear you, it didn't really bother me that SHE asked me (after all, she gave me my first trigger shot, being a nurse), it was more the realization that others were going to ask...like some of the catty girls with whom I am no longer really friends (just acquaintances with now) arrgh.

I can't believe your transfer is in a few days!!! And carison starts bcp!! woot, it's moving along now!

Oh, I see... Trinity - you just focus on your beautiful pregnancy - you are so blessed! Enjoy every single moment. How are you feeling? I can't wait to find out how it feels to be pregnant...I want this round to really work...I keep staying positive, hoping that it was the OHSS that prevented the pregnancy in Jan-Feb. I can't believe I am actually feeling fine for the transfer! This is how I envisioned what a transfer should feel like - a lot of excitement and rest afterwards...I was puking my guts out just glad to survive from minute to minute during the fresh cycle...ggggrrrrrrr.....this should make a difference, right??

I think it makes all the difference in the world. I felt the same going in...much more relaxed and my body was toiling over awful OHSS. I think your body is ready and relaxed now and you will have positive result

WOW - that's brave, Trinity!!! But I like your new length! LOVE IT! It will be easier to fix too. I have just below shoulder length hair, used to be much longer too - I freaked out too first time I cut it . Anyways, looking good!!! Go Trinity!

Oh and thank you for responding about the OHSS...that's how I feel - it HAS to work now, other than mild bloating and a little hormonally "off" , I feel great!
