Weekly Randoms 7/18

[cali]

Good morning lovely ladies, happy Monday. As usual, I'm up at the crack of dawn to start this week. Only 2 1/2 more weeks of school until my 3 week break and I can FINALLY start IVF! I cannot wait.


So, what is going in your lives this week??

[rslh10]

Hi cali! I can't wait for your IVF journey to start I'm pumped for you.

AFM- I'm headed out the door for our transfer! I can't believe it's here! #allthefeels so my day will be spent relaxing on the couch with H. Found this quote yesterday and I really thought it was perfect for me right now. Thought I'd share

[skategirl128]

Thinking of you today rslh10!!!!

Good luck cali!

I'm thinking of heading out to pick some blueberries today! I work later ugh!!

[rslh10]

Mmmm blueberries!!! skategirl128 enjoy!

[iheartbroccoli]

It's so close cali!

All the good vibes and everything crossed for you rslh10

Boo for work, but picking blueberries sounds like fun! skategirl128

I am taking a mental health day. Work has been stressful lately, and I need a day away from it. I'll get some projects done around the house, go on a bike ride in the morning, and read a book.

[MissSally]

rslh10 OMG I can't believe transfer day is here already! Thinking about you!!

cali you're so close also! yay!

AFM, This week has gotten off to a shit-tastic start. H was gone all weekend and last night he came home in a terrible mood, and has now spent the morning yelling at me. UGH. We are going to an amusement park today for a work picnic and I woke up so happy and excited (plus I got a + OPK) and now I don't even know if we will HIO because he is in such a bad mood. Not how I wanted my week to start.

[rslh10]

MissSally I'm sorry H is being a butt face

[menrandes]

I broke a tooth last night, so today I'm going to the dentist. Yaaay. Unfamiliar city and all, so I'm ubering for the very first time in a few. After that..well I hope to be able to eat something since I haven't since I broke it while eating dinner yesterday. And then nap. Lots of napping.

[birch113]

MissSally I'm sorry YH is being a grump. FX he gets out of his mood.

menrandes oh crap! You poor thing!!

I'm back at work after a long weekend. I do not wish to be here!! Also, it's been a mega bitch trying to get my cycle meds. I'm about to lose my poop.

cardhard thank you!!

cali, betas are next Wednesday, but....lets be honest. I can't wait that long.

[bethkate]

So excited for you rslh10! Good luck!

I had another IVF monitoring appointment today, and I've got 22 follies, 10 of which are mature or very close. I'll be triggering tonight and my retrieval is on Wednesday!

[rslh10]

bethkate wow! Congrats! That's a great #. What time is your retrieval?

[bethkate]

Thanks! The RE seemed pretty surprised by how many follies there were. She measured 14 just on my right, so that explains why that ovary has been bothering me more than the other!

My ER is at 11am, which kind of sucks because I'm going to be starving by then, but there will be less traffic getting to the RE's office at that time of day (rather than during rush hour), so that's a plus. 

[birch113]

Question: does anyone else have an ovary that hides from time to time? Righty has been hard to locate at times, but at my saline sono last week was almost unfindable. It made me a little nervous about future ER.

That's a tough time! Make sure you have something yummy planned for after!

[skategirl128]

Blueberries! I have three containers filled like this!! They amount to 15 pounds!!

They will become jam (I've made 5 kinds so far- strawberry, cherry, blackberry, black currant and peach- so easy and so delicious), dumplings, frozen and in my belly! Yum!!!

[rslh10]

birch113 my right one is sometimes hard to find as well. Not to the extreme you mentioned but like my RE has to push down on my stomach to find it properly. Trust me...lol, they'll get the eggs

[cali]

birch113, I haven't experienced that myself but I do know your ovaries get way bigger after stims (my RE said they go from the size of your thumbnail to the size of a tennis ball) which I would think would make them a lot easier to find.

[muscari]

Hello ladies!

Ahhh cali it's getting so close for you now!! I'm getting excited for you

rslh10, Haha is that LLR's newest model?? ;-) (ahh I just read that birch113 made the same joke -- we both are so funny! ) I love how it got a little pattern on it actually, and it seems to be of more comfi fabric then the robes at my hospital. So rough and tough fabric and just plain white.. have I ever mentioned white isn't my color?

skategirl128, mmmm blueberries! You'll have to AW your jam making results!

iheartbroccoli, sorry work has been so stressfull lately. I hope your mental health day did you well!

Ugh MissSally, husbands/men!! I hope your day ended up being a nice non stressy good one after all.

Oh no! menrandes, I read about your dental excursion yesterday, wow. So glad you were able to get that sorted right away but meh so sorry you had to deal with that. Hopefully you're no longer in pain! And were able to eat something nom after all that ordeal.

birch113, ugh what's up with your meds that it's so  hard to acquire them?? Hope it sorts itselfs out soonest! Also, yes, my left ovary has a tendency to go into hiding at times. It sorted itself out while stimming though and hasn't been a problem at all with ER!

bethkate, oh wow those are great numbers! Good luck tomorrow with ER, keep us posted!

[muscari]

So... I'm twiddling my thumbs till it's time to leave for the hospital. Transfer will be at 2:40pm my time. Tick tock tick tock. I think MH is nervous as well even though he won't say so out loud. He's a bit moody and pacing so.. yeah

No When I called this morning as I was instructed, I just got the time for ET. I had thought we would also get info on the # of embies that made it and quality and such, but apperently we don't get that info until this afternoon?? I was baffled tbh (and frustrated, but worked hard to let that go cause I want to go in to ET feeling calm and happy, not stressed and frustrated).. We don't even know whether they'll allow us to transfer 2 (if we have enough embies) and stuff like that. Odd huh? I'm so not impressed by our clinic Ohwell!

TMI perhaps sorry about that.. They told me to come in with a full blatter, so I been chugging water all morning. However my tummy is upset (thanks to the nerves heh) so I've had to go to the bathroom like 5 times already! Still chugging water.. they said not to use the bathroom for an hour before ET so I think I can manage that.... LOL.

[muscari]

Gonne close down the pc and get ready to leave. Aaaaaaaaaaahh.

[skategirl128]

Good luck muscari! I'm thinking of you!

[birch113]

skategirl128 mmmmmm jam!
