My career ~ I am a supervisor for an early intervention program - we provide therapy services to children 0-3 years who have developmental delays or a medical diagnosis that puts them at-risk for delays. I am salaried, so my sked is flexible, but most weeks, it's way more than 40hrs to keep up with everything.....however, I LOVE IT!

My fave ice cream ~ Cold Stone's cake batter!!! My fave healthy one is the Edy's sugar free Neopolitan (sp?)

Good evening everyone!

Thanks to all of you that were concerned about the all problems that I have been having with my meds. Well, I am pleased to announce that they will be on their way tom. Caremark is sending everything except my HCG. They need some kind of special authorization for it. Its ok and at least I will have everything else. So I have to sit home and wait because they told me anytime between 8 and 4. Don't you wish that a more specific time can be given. I am just excited to get them. One step closer to the .

Tracy - I am a teacher but I am on leave right now. I can't think of only one kind of ice cream that I love - there are so many !!!

Jennifer - Good luck this weekend and lets us know how it turns out!

Karla - I bet the twins are so cute. Seeing children like that gives us all hope.

Stephanie - Good luck tom. on the HSG. I don't know how it feels because I had mine during surgery so I was out. Hopefully, the pain won't last too long.

Lindsay - Did you actual delivery boy came straight from Caremark? Very interesting - mine is coming through Fedex.

Elizabeth - How did the Lupron go tonight?

I enjoy reading about everyone and responding. This will help the time go by faster. Can't wait to see the .

Well last night Dh did first stims shot. I started balling like a baby. It just hurt and I was unprepared for the pain. Been taking Lupron in the thigh and since it was just a tiny pinch I thought stims would be the same. Guess not. Tonight was better no tears just getting tired of feeling like a pin cushion. Anyway just thinking positive thoughts
it will all be worth it when I get my

Hey everyone, that's funny that Karla mentioned herbs! I was just thinking of posting a ? to see of those of us doing AP, whose APist is also recommending herbs????? Mine has not either, but I've saw on other threads where girls are buying lots of herbs.......very interesting, and I'm curious, anyone doing AP + herbs recommended by APist????[/quote]

Mine told me not to try the herbs because there hasn't been enough research on the effects with the IVF drugs good or bad.

I almost regret not using part of my real name in my signature. When I joined the site I wanted to keep my informtion private. I had no idea how attached I would become to the ladies on the site. Using Josephine helps keep me focused on getting my . Its okay if everyone refers to me as Josephine, I don't mind.

I found a semi-healthy one (is that even possible!?!?) ......try Edy's slow churn sugar free! They have lots of flavors and it's sugar free, made with splenda!!! My fave is the neopolitan (sp?) - the one with strawberry, chocolate, vanilla - a little of it all! Oh, so sinful!

BTW, thanks Elizabeth for getting us off IF for awhile!!!! It's nice to take a break, and chat about something else! Especially, ice cream!

No, problem, I do what I can lol. I have my AP appt tomorrow morning which is about an hour away. My husband also has an appt that is close to it so we are carpooling. My point being that my favorite Mexican restaurant is right there too so now that's my new craving. Lots of cheese and sour cream love it! My diet has gone out the window apparently. Does lupron do this? At least I could blame the drugs for the cravings if it does .

Hello ladies, my u/s went great I have another one on Sat. at 8:15. The nurse said that I had some foll. that were 9mm and others that were 4mm. She said it was good so I am happy.

Jennifer- did you use ice on the prog. shot to? I actualy thought about switching to ice but I haven't done it yet. And CONGRATS on your ER keep us updated.

By the way I wasn't hungry until I got on here and everyone was talking about ice cream. YUM!! my favorite is peppermint.
