Yes, those poor DH's... I think the stims not only make you crazy but also forgetful/batty. We were watching a commercial on TV -the new hallmark card where you can record your voice. After they explained it, I said, hey, that's the card where you can record yourself.
DH was like, what planet are you from?!!!!

You start stimming tomorrow! Yay! Time for the hormones to get really nuts! Oh the DH's are in for a treat!

Mmmmm...rice krispie bars sound SO GOOD! I normally would go for the freshly made, but even the store-bought version would do right now! YUM!

You guys are so funny, eating these rice crispie treats and other really yummy sounding stuff! I myself made a batch of apple dumplings this past week for the first time in YEARS. So, I'm with you all on the sweet tooth thing. Hey Cari, great sounding recipe there!

Congrats to everyone that is having ET's in the next few days! You're going to be so soon!

And good luck to a whole bunch of us that are stimming, not to mention the hoards on Lupron now... Hope you all have a great weekend!

I just started trying one of those smoothies too - they have them in the produce section in my grocery store - they have all kinds of cool varieties. Kind of expensive, but when you think of all the nutrients you're getting, totally worth it.

Indie - love your muhahhh muhhhaaha!

I know what you're talking about. Last night we were watching a really old episode of the Amazing Race and I could feel myself tearing up DURING THE OPENING SONG! What the heck! What is sad about that...NOTHING! These meds really do make us crazy sometimes.

I have been stimming for for 7days and i hate Bravelle. I had my second on b/w and u/s on Wednesday I think i had 9 follies. Not sure if that is good or not. I go back to have another b/w and u/s Saturday. So since i have to get up on a Sat morn, i am making my DH drive me to the Dr....Maybe i can get him to take me to breakfast.
Hopefully i will get a date for an ER this coming week.

To all the Ladies of May

And before you know it we will all be

Anyway just wanted to put my 2cents in. I love to read all of your posts. They keep me on track and let know that i am not alone.

Thank you ladies...
Tracy

I will go back to have another u/s and b/w on Monday with a possible ER on the 7th or 8th.

I can't believe how nerve racking this is. I know it's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.

In the back of mind I had the feeling I would end up with a low count.....but it still is so hard to face it.

Hey Stephanie,
I just PM'd you, but wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and hoping that your numbers will come up. Hope you have a good weekend!

You'll love making socks, it's very addicting. Of course, you can't eat socks and I think this thread is heading towards more of a cuisine type mode tonight! Heehee!

I'm glad that your first dose (probably you've done the second by now?) went well. Hopefully they continue to be a piece of cake.

Things here are going fine, thanks for asking. Going in tomorrow AM early for u/s and e2. Fun, fun...
