Hi! Yeah, that sucks for DH, but it's true that the longer you wait, the more problems you are going to encounter! As for the xrays, call and make sure that they will use a full lead apron on you. If they do, then there's nothing to worry about! NO radiation can get through those  Do not wait to get your tooth that hurts checked out...you don't want to get a nasty dental infection! Good luck sweetie!

Hi Traci! Yeah, the xrays are completely safe as long as you wearing a lead apron. Sonicare toothbrushes are pretty good, especially the new Flexcare. However, I still believe that the Oral B Triumph is the best. The sonicares can sometimes actually cause a bit of gingival recession. The Triumph seems to do a great job with the plaque removal and not cause recession. But it's really all personal preference!! I have one of each LOL...

Nikki- I TOTALLY feel for you for not getting
 !! Listen to this--I had my US/BW appt this morning, and after they looked at the US, they were like "yeah, your lining needs to be thinner, so we're just going to have to wait for your period to come before continuing your treatment" SUCKS AZZ!!! I felt her coming like 4 days ago, but she never came, and now I feel nothing. I was so upset... My DH even bought a plane ticket for my mother in law to come here from LA and help me out and keep me company the week of FET, AND I took that week off from work...and now it looks like everything is gonna be pushed back  Ritu- I’m all for the yummy chocolate covered boys wearing playboy knickers with pompoms… YEAH! Littleladysky- yeah, go for the cleaning! It’s better just to get cleaned and checked to get it over with J Natalie- you are so lucky to get the follistim for free!! That’s the most expensive one! My insurance covers a whopping ZERO%...lol Cathy—I’m so glad you are doing better today  Candice- YAY on the report! Your time has come! Nikki—can I date your husband so he can send me flowers too? LOL… just email me his number…heehee Rana—I thought I had heard that her twins were definitely IVF… ay…the rumors! Definitely interesting though! Nurse—I wanna go to Barbados too! Do you think I can fit in your suitcase?  Jennifer—Turkey breast? Interesting! I love turkey! Heehee…watch me turn into one next month J Irena—glad the cysts are gone! An infection in his semen? WOW! If he’s allergic to penicillin, they’ll probably prescribe something like clindamycin or ciprofloxacin (or zithromax—ie:Zpack) WOW, That was a mouthfull!!!!!!!!!! This board has been booming! HELLO TO ALL THE OTHER APRIL GIRLS!!!!!!!

Let me get this turkey thing: is it having turkey before ET?
Also, a question has anyone been on the mixture of gonal and menopur? If so did you get headaches/migraines? I am worried because I suffer from migraines already and once I start stim I can't take anything. I am trying to prepare myself and DH.

I did bravelle and menapor No headaches during stims. this may be TMI but my bb's hurt really bad during stims to the point they were bleeding. Then of course they hurt throughout the 2ww and right before beta they stopped and AF started. I only had headaches when I did bcp's last cycle. So glad they are not part of my new protocol. Cathy

I did Gonal & Menopur during my 1st IVF, I did get headaches, but only with the Lupron, not with the stims. Sorry to hear that you get migraines. Hopefully you will not get any with your meds. Good luck.

Rachhorch: I did mennopur and gonal f together last ivf and I didn't get headaches during those - I had killer ones during the lupron and after my et though. This time the lupron hasn't been quite as bad... just dull pain. You can take Tylenol 3s if you doc will prescribe them for you if you need them. That's the only thing that helped me.

Thanks for the input on the stims!! That eases some of my worries. My migraines are the reason we aren't doing lupron. I was on it for my endo and it was a nightmare!!
I also want to say thanks to everyone for the support. Just reading posts makes me feel better. I don't know anyone who has gone thru this and it gets lonely!! So thank you all. Also, a little tid for tat from your massage therapist friend (me). Turtles are a goodluck symbol for fertility. I am walking around with 2 necklaces currently!! So, if you are into that I say get turtles!!
