Congrats on your disappearing cysts, Pray2be - you must feel so good about that. I have to admit that though I am glad my cyst will not stand in the way, I'd be happy if it too just disappeared to ease any back burner concern.
You are on your way to a !!

Thanks Maggie - I just wish it would get here. I am having a really tough time concentrating on anything, particularly work.
Is anyone else out there feeling bloating from their stims this cycle? I feel humongous. Next week, I will have to wear a moo moo prior to ER if it keeps going at this pace!

Hey girls! Man it had been crazy on this board!
Mama- sorry you're having a rough day We just all know too well hoe it feels. I had one of those days Sunday- met SIL- 9wks preg with twins for dinner with MIL and MIL had to go on and on about Sil's new maternity clothers, and all the stuff she had picked out at baby's r us. When they started talkin strollers I just politley excused myself and went to the bathroom- of course to cry-picked myself back up and went on. It's so hard! Hang in there- it wil be us soon! Sounds good for the stimming girls! All those follies sound like they're growing! And yeah for all the follies Giggles! Awesome! Yeah for the girls with no cysts and the all clear! I had my saline sono, IVF orientation, mock transfer this am and I am also in the clear and good to go! I did have a 23mm syst that has been hanging around since October- but it's not hormonally active so they said it is fine- it's been the same size the entire time. And RE will probably aspirate during the ER. Teh saline sono and mock transfer were a piece of cake- so if you haven't done it yet no stress! (And when I had my HSG it was no biggie either) So I'm Starting Lupron on Friday- they moved it up! Go again for baseline ultrasound next Wednesday! Oh, also asked nurse about exercising during all this- and she said anything I wanted up to ER, as long as it was comfortable for me. So hoping to lose a few more pounds! Here we all go! And by the way- very jealous of the knitters! You guys are so talented! Whew!

Ugh! I just got a call from the pharmacy that is suppose to be sending my meds to me and they called to tell me that my insurance (lucky I have it) is not covered at this pharmacy so they have to transfer my entire prescription to Another pharmancy that will give me my meds. So, I am hoping they will get the prescription and I can have my meds tomorrow as planned. I wish they had called me sooner than less than 24 hours when I am suppose to recieve it!! GRRRR

We have an eliptical in our basement- so I've been doing 30 minutes on that, or I have an old Weight watchers high intensity aerobics tape that's pretty good. Plus in the evenings- since it's been nice- been walking with DH, and 1-2 nights a week I take an adult advnaced tap class. Talk about a workout! Our dance is to Christina Aguilar's Candyman- very fun but very fast! That's about over though-the recital is this week. Fun! I love atching all the little kids since we'rfe the last dance!

HARAS- I'm in the same boat as you. I had my rx's called in to Freedom only to find out that I have to use my insurances speciality pharmacy. It's been over 36 hours and they still can't get it together. They promised me that they would have it to my house by tomorrow at 10 yet no one has called me yet to tell me how much they need to charge me or for my credit card number. I've called 8 times so far. It's so frustrating but I keep telling myself at least I have insurance.

Ok, I just called yet again and they finally got the ok and are shipping it as I write this. I was very surprised to hear how little we owed so maybe all the frustration was worth it. Maybe...lol
