Thanks, Kate! I'm really excited, but soooo nervous. I can hardly believe that it's true and EVERYTHING makes me paranoid. I always try to keep up with everyone's news from the March thread, but it's so busy, it's hard to keep up! Hope everything's going well with you and Dude!

Hi all.

Liza - I'm sorry you may get converted to an IUI, but I'm not giving up hope yet. Also, if you do get converted, there's an awful lot of hope to be had there. But I know the disappointment of things not going as planned once again.

Barbara - Oh, the crazy symptom chasing. I was on estrogen shots from the beginning of this cycle, and I definitely felt nausea before my beta. However, I'm pregnant. So, just because you're taking the estradiol doesn't mean that that's why you're nauseated! I'm remaining hopeful for you! Oh, and stay away from those evil pee sticks!!!

Jen - I hope your matzo ball soup was good - it's my favorite part of Passover. Our gefilte fish experiment was a success. Mostly because it was really fun to cook with DP. She really doesn't cook AT ALL (she'll grocery shop, pot scrub and dish clean, reheat in the microwave, but really never makes more than cold cereal). But she's incredible at making other things and loves gadgets. So, we made this into a very gadget-filled experience - even using a meat grinder instead of the cuisinart to grind stuff up (it felt very sweeney todd!). She put on some good "getting to work" music, and we had a blast. It turns out that the gefilte fish was good, actually.

Tonight's our second Passover seder, and at this one it's going to be much tougher to hide that I'm not drinking. (there are 4 cups of wine that we're supposed to drink throughout the night - maybe to help deal with things like eating gefilte fish - ). Wish me luck!

I hope everyone's having a great Sunday. -B
