with earplugs in 24-7. It's been pretty funny teaching though, I spent the last two weeks telling my kindergarteners, "If I can hear you, than you are too loud." I think one ear
has cleared....it comes and goes..but I am definitely on the mend. My DH didn't want me to take anything but the doctors all said amoxicillin was OK. I didn't want to do permanent damage to my ears either. Besides I couldn't live underwater for one more day.
LJ- I have been thinking about you a lot this week. I am sorry to hear you have to wait two more weeks for some peace of mind. But since the baby has grown and they think they saw a heartbeat, that all sounds like good news so far. You're right ultrasounds aren't perfect, especially so early. They just point and click,t o measure. I've watched two different docs clik in different palces and get different measurements, especially if they are in a hurry. Keep us posted!!
Audrey- I hope you had a good weekend. I do miss margaritas. I tried to teach my kids La Raspa on Friday, they thought it was pretty fun AND we made some silly sombreros. It was an easy day in kindergarten. What day is your adoption meeting? I, too, am interested in hearing how that goes.
Deb- sorry to hear about your brother and his wife. It is a hard time. It's good you all know what eachother is going through int his fertility business. You're not alone and you family can understand.
Nikki- Hope you're doing well-
What happened to the dh Chris? Did we scare him away? I'm curious to see how their luck turned out.
That whole Chris thing was strange. He posts once and then disappears. Weird but oh well.
Audrey.. see if you can copy and paste the below. It should work. I just went to kodak photo share gallery and if you choose the photo by photo upload, nothing has to get installed and all you have to do is upload a photo. It's not such a great photo but it's the only one I have on this computer.
Sounds like everyone had a busy weekend. I sent a photo to your email addresses. I can't wait to see yours. I am feeling positive. The baby did grow and science is never exact. Tomorrow I will be 9 weeks, but according to the ultrasound I will be 8. Thinking back they always ask if my dates were right as my babies all start out small. Positive energy. Can't wait to hear the results of your u/s Nicki. At five weeks they can only see a sac(s) and sometime in the sixth week they usually can see the hearbeat. I read that they measure by the size of the fetal pole which isn't visible until six weeks, every mm of the size of the fetal pole is how far past six weeks you are. So if in the sixth week the fetal pole is 4mm, you are 6wks 4 days. The heartbeat should be visible anytime between 6 and 7 weeks, but everyone is different some right on time - some a little later. Take care.
Hi Amy,
Ouch...double ear infections! Glad to hear that you are on the mend. So cute that you taught your kiddies La Raspa...bet they loved it! Our kinder classes danced Jarabe Tapatio. Have you decided on a name yet for your princess?
Nicki,
Hi again! I was unable to pull up your picture from the kodak gallery. Can you send it to my E-mail address? I will send you a photo of DH and I and our daughters (my stepdaughters).
LJ your knowledge always impresses me. Glad your feeling better. Everything is fine girl! We're on our way!! And ok.... so your 4 weeks further than me. I forgot how many weeks it's been.
I'm gonna send you back my pic and I'll send to you too Audrey! But I have to do tonight when I'm home from my laptop.
And are ya all dying to know?????? It's twins!!! 2 sacs were found. Holy Moly. DH and I are speachless but so excited. RE said there is a chance the 3rd one is in there too and that they just can't see it yet. But for now he's betting on the twins. I got my first pic! Yeah!! I go next Monday to hear the heartbeats and I guess, see if it's still 2.
Congratulations X2 girl, and maybe triplets?...Whoo Hoo!! I felt so sure, and I am so very happy for you and DH. Looking forward to getting your photo.
Hello ladies I have been so busy this last week, And my computer crashed on me I had to put a new hard drive in it, Lost all my pictures as soon as I get more I will send them out. My babies are doing fine so far I am 22weeks now and I am having another ultrasound on the 15th to make sure they are doing fine. other than I have sharp pains running down the backs of my leg from hip to knees and severe heart burn life is good. Still looking for boy names I think Riley will be one of them but not sure about the other my 3yr old calls them Bert & Erine LOL I need to find names soon real soon. I measure 34 weeks now so I am 12 weeks bigger than I should be LOL see what all you mommie of twins have to look forward too. I am leading they way for you all. bonus for having twins you get alot of ultrasounds LOL. Ok night ladies
Thanks for the photos Audrey and Nicki. Your guys are even more beautiful than I imagined. My photo is a little old, my hair much longer now - but is the best one I could find. I am usually taking the photos...
Nicki you should sign up for weekly email at the babycenter.com. Every Monday I receive an email giving me up to date info about how far along I am and how the baby is growing or your case babies... So is when is your due date, I predicted January 7th?
LJ- you are so adorable and Delaire is just gorgeous! I didn't picture you as a blonde. Its funny how you imagine in your mind what a person might look like right. I pictured you with a cool short bobish type hairstyle for some strange reason. I'm so glad Audrey thought of sharing pics!
Audrey- You and your family are absolutely gorgeous! Wow. Your step daughters are beautiful. I absolutely love your photos. I'm so glad we were able to see what we each look like!!!
Glad to hear you are doing alright Toni. 22 weeks, you are more than half way now. Summer will be here in no time and then so will the boys. I found this link for you about naming twins. Nicki you might check it out too. Lots of ideas.
hi,
its really good to read ur story and i can relate to it as im also going thru my 2 ww and have my test n may 7th like u. i've never been pregnant, will be 30 this month, had 5 failed IUIs in 2006 and in march2007 had my first failed IVF which came out to be negative, had 2 5 blastocysts transferred and it came out to be negative. it was very upsetting for me and my husband as it gets really very hard to go thru the cycel with meds n then the progesterone injections.anyway we did a frozen embryo transfer on april 27 which were 2, day 6 blastocysts frozen from the feb-march cycle, have none left now.
its been driving me crazy also searching the internet about symptoms which could give me hope. i never get sore boobs with progesterone like others. and still have no sore boobs or any other symptom except i had really bad cramping 4 dpt. and still have it on and off plus i have very bad pain/chills in my legs also which i usually get before my period. I'm very depressed now as my test day is coming close and im having no symptoms at all.im just hoping for a good news on may 7th also want u all to know who r waiting that u r in my prayers too. keep me posted.

What great news for everyone! LJ I know things are fine and it sounds like from what you posted that u/s's are not always exact anyway. Nicki I think we knew twins were what you have, unless they are triplets! Audrey let us know what happens on Thursday and I'm glad you had fun on 5-May. I like CA diving but my husband is a warm water diver. The best for me was in Bancos Chinchorros, about 2 hours from the Belize/Mexico border. Sweedy it sounds like we may both be in June. Toni and Amy sounds like you are doing ok and things are progressing. I can't believe how many people are having twins! I sure would like to see all the pics too. My email address is ***@****. Send me what you have and I will try to find one to send also.
Sorry for the short post and the no post. My poor dog got really sick again and I thought for sure he was going to pass Sunday night. We got him to the vet on Mon morning and they gave him IV fluids and antibiotics and I have been nursing him for the past two days. He seems better and has been eating and drinking but the vet thinks his liver and kidneys are shutting down due to his advanced age (16). We will get the blood work tomorrow. I go to the RE on Friday and will get more news then.
I am so glad things are going well for everyone and hope it rubs off on me in June!!
I'm totally confused by the above post. It seems like you had your transfer on the 27th. Did you get a BT yet? The below note has other names on it and it said a negative test result?? If your test was negative, I'm so sorry. I had 2 failed IVF's and the 3rd one took so try to keep the faith. Sometimes its a matter of trying different protocols to see what works. We all understand the devastation of a BFN. Believe me.
Hi girls, hope your all doing well. I'm feeling good. LJ, have you had any morning sickness? I don't have anything yet. I know it's very soon but I don't feel anything except sore bbs. Friday will be 6 weeks! Yeah.
Audrey- I can't wait to hear how your adoption class goes on Thursday!!!
Oh man LJ, what stress this must be causing. It's so strange. What would be the cause of something like this. Could it be that the embryo is just growing at a slower speed but that eventually it will catch up? I'm thinking this is the case and it's just a slow starter. This is terrible that you have to go through this. And now you have to wait awholenother week for another U/S?? Is there anyway you can get in really early one morning to take another BT like they suggested? I will say prayers for you that everything is fine.
Sorry about your furbaby Deb. I hope everything will be alright.
I had a terrible day today, very stressed. The doc called today a little concerned about the ultrasound. Asked me what I wanted to do. I said I obviously I want another ultrasound. He said it has grown but this u/s said I was somewhere in my 6th week. Which would mean that I have only grown one week instead of 2.5. And that they didn't confirm a heartbeat. I explained what the tech said but I don't know. This is driving me crazy. I told him that I am going to be positive until I have a reason not to, but it's so hard. My next u/s is booked for monday morning. He also offered a hcg BT, but I don't have time to go for it prior to u/s. My son is having dental surgery tomorrow morning and I am trying to be calm for that.
Audrey good luck with your appt at the adoption centre tomorrow(today).
LJ
I hope things go well. I know Monday seems like a month away. My daughter had dental surgerie last month 1300 worth my friends said why are you putting that much into a 3yr olds mouth I said because I can LOL.. Well good luck to you and the heart Doctor said I can wait till after the delivery to have the heart surgerie, I also go in Tues for another ultrasound I will be 23 weeks this Friday so I should be 23weeks and 4 days on tuesday I am always about a week behind.
LJ,
Praying for you and still very confident that your little one is just a slow starter and will catch up later in the pregnancy. Monday will be here before ya know it! XOXO
LJ - keep positive. It is the only thing in your control which can have a direct impact on the baby. My prayers are with you.
Girls - my doc said coz of my trip i missed my chance of a FEt in May. And startign next week, he is travellign for a month. So i can only start my next FET in mid june. So i am feeling a bit low but at least i will go ahead wit it in June. Its really only 5 weeks away..
I also wanted to ask you girls if anyone of you has done IVf due to endometriosis? As this is my condition and i would love to share some experience if any of you have the same.
Hi guys. My son is doing better today. I am doing okay also. I saw the family doctor this morning and she read the report to me, there is a fetus measuring 3mm - heartbeat not confirmed. Possibly a viable pregnancy measuring small, but cannot confirm - re-scan in 1-2 weeks. She said it could go either way on monday. Just trying to be positive until proven otherwise. Hope everyone is doing well. Nicki your scan will be fine on Monday, maybe they even see three... Audrey how did your appt go yesterday?
LJ, I'm sorry you are not getting the confirmation you need. I'm sure things will be ok. Glad your son is feeling better.
Audrey, can't wait to hear about the adoption session. Did it make you more clear on which you might want to pursue?? IVF or this? I know it's only the next day but an anxious to hear from you.
LJ,
Glad to hear that your son is feeling better. I will be going to church tonight and will say extra prayers for you...but, honestly, I'm feeling pretty positive that everything will be fine.
Sweedy,
June is gonna be here in no time, girl! Five week countdown.
Nicki,
You are soo lucky girl that you do not have any morning sickness. Can't wait to find out how your us goes on Monday.
DH and I got a lot of info on Thursday's meeting and I think we are leaning more towards adoption. I just feel that it is more of a sure thing and I don't know if I can take that IVF gamble again. I guess I have a lot of time to think about it since I will not be able to do anything till 2008. : (
Oh Deb, they had a couple and their adopted infant come to speak to us...she was 52 and he was 47. Cool, huh?
LJ, Nicki, & Amy,
Happy Mommy to be day tomorrow! Nicki and Amy this is your first, how exciting!!
Deb, Sweedy & NiKki,
It will our turn to join the Mommies club soon!! Enjoy your weekend!
Happy Mommies Day to all....(including future mommies)!
How is everyone?
LJ- Praying that all is well with you and your little one.
Nicki- So exciting...can't wait to hear about the U/S...it's so exciting to think of the possibility of twins.
Sweedy- Everyone is right. June is really just a blink away.
Audrey- Glad you got alot of information about adoption. I'm glad to hear there wasn't an age limit to be eligible to adopt infants. Is it both international and national?
Deb- How's the furbaby doing?
I am going to go pass out in the bed. I just finished four 12 hour night shifts in a row, but I've been keeping up with everyone. DH and I are doing well. It's a beautiful sunny day here in GA.
Happy Mothers Day, Mothers to be Day and Future Mothers to be Day!!!
Hope all is well with everyone. Looking forward to tomorrow, hoping that all this confusion will be behind us. Looking forward to hearing about Nicki's u/s too - 2 or 3!!!
Take care everyone and I will post as soon as I get home from work...
Audrey- hey! I'm so glad the adoption meeting went well. You do have a lot of time to think. Now you are well informed. Hey, you have to think about all different scenarios. Remember with me, I had 2 fresh cycles with NONE left to freeze and they didn't work. You really only had 1 fresh cycle. The embies from the FET were obviously from that same cycle. It could have been so many reasons but with a new try with IVF, they could change your med protocol, you can try to do things differently. So you never know. I know you have a lot to think about but since it took me 3 times, I guess I would be leary about giving the advice not to try IVF again after 1 fresh cycle. Ya know what I mean?? Hope I'm not being to pushy with the IVF. I'm happy for you either way you decide. I guess just hearing that it takes an average is 3 IVF tries to get a successful PG held true for me so that's probably why I feel that way.
Nikki- Hey stranger. Hope all is well with you. Glad you had a weekend of nice weather down in GA. It was quite beautiful up in NJ too!
LJ- how did you appointment go? I hope we hear from you soon. Thinking of you!!
As for me, I was panicked and worried the last few days, but feel better (as I usually do) after my appointment. It is confirmed that there are 2. And while I thought I'd be able to see the HB the tech laughed and said... "the doc told you you'd be able to see the heartbeat this appointment". Laughed again and said "Honey you should know to ask me and not the doc. what does he know anyway" (she was jk). But she said, "it's too early and we don't have the ultra sensitive equipment like some other offices have, so you're not going to see or hear anything until at least next week". So, while I was a little disappointed I was happy when she called me and said my beta levels are now 24,091 which is great. The new pics also shows sacs that are like 5 x's the size from last week so happy about that too!
Sorry for the long post. Gotta get back to work now :)
Hey guys. Appt didn't go well. The tech didn't even show me the screen or give me any details this time. Just told me to get dressed and she'd be back. So when she came back I said what is up, you didn't show me the screen or give me any info. She said she could confirm or deny a heartbeat and it's up to the docs what to do. No other info. I will probably go get my hcg checked as the next step. So very frustrated right now.
Nicki,
I'm so very happy for you Momma!! How incredibly exciting!! You are truly blessed!! Your beta scores are incredible...Wow! Can't wait to hear about your next us.
And you are soo right, I really only had 1 fresh cycle. I really have a lot of thinking to do. DH suggested maybe doing IVF and adoption...we'll see. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's day yesterday. My daughters spent the day with us, and made it so special for me. I got Mother's day cards and gifts, and I am so blessed that they consider me their Mom and call me Mom, and the best part, their biological Mom is totally o.k. with it!
A young girl from church also spent the day with us yesterday. She is 16, 4 months pregnant, no family contact or support, father of baby is out of picture, she is not in school, not working, and is here illegaly without papers from El Salvador...AND she is planning on keeping her baby! Whoa...blows my mind!
LJ,
How incredibly frustrating!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you can get that beta test soon, and please let us know. You are in my thoughts and prayers!! Stay positive!! Hugs
LJ - Whoa. I can't believe they are making you worry week after week. Can't you demand some time with the doc. since all these u/s wackos are clearly not giving you any answers? I'm glad your getting another beta. I'm sure everything is fine but this place just doesn't seem right.
Audrey - I'm so glad you have that "special" relationship with your step daughters and that's great their mom is cool with it. That makes the relationship even more rewarding with them. And that's just more unconditional love for them! I'm glad you are thinking about IVF too. Good girl! It's a lot to think about and DH sounds GREAT and super supportive so whatever (or both if) you choose is going to be great. Are you waiting til 2008 for insurance purposes? Or is it to clear your mind etc?
Hi Nicki,
We are waiting til 08 to try IVF again because of insurance AND because we just bought a new home that is being built and are all tapped out right now. We still have to buy new furniture for the house! S$%#s!! I am praying for patience right now!
Went to the drop in clinic at my family doc this afternoon, didn't see my doc but saw the report. States minimal growth, no heartbeat - probably not a viable pregnancy. Doc says that I will probably miscarry one of these days, to see my own doc in a week. IVF clinic called DH and said sorry that they aren't pursuing this any further. DH is devastated, I don't know what to think. Still feel pregnant and no negative signs...
LJ,
I am so sorry. This is definitely not something we wanted to hear.
I can totally relate to how you feel. I really had no symptom either other than my breasts not being as sore. I never had morning sickness or anything. And to think we even had a good 8 wk u/s. They say sometimes the body doesn't realize that the pregnancy is no longer viable. I'm so sorry. I know how much you and DH wanted this baby.
I really don't understand your clinic though. They should at least give you some options as to how to procede. Since its still early, they may let your body process this naturally. Please take care.
Holy **** LJ... I'm so sorry. This is the worst news. I don't even know what to say. I'm just baffeled and I don't understand how something like this happens. When are you going in for your beta? When you have a chance, check out the main board topics. I meant to write this last night for you but there is a topic called "Help!!! No Heartbeat at 7 Weeks any positive stories?" from 5/14. One girl said the the heartbeat didn't show until week 10. But that everything worked out and is still PG. I'm so sorry LJ. I can't believe this. I'm praying for extra hope and a positive outcome for you and DH.
I am scared as heck right now. Nikki, I don't have any morning sickness either. Only sore bbs and very tired. They said they should be able to see hb next week so I guess once again, I'm going to be a petrified, nervous crazy person until then!
hii,
yeh nicki my transfer was on 27th of april , there were 2 day 6 blasts, one of them was doing very well but my blood test came out to be negative on the 7th. anyway got my period on the 13th it was tooo painful. my doctors started another protocol for this cycle , im sooo exhausted with all this so wanted to go with IUI instead of IVF this month, just to have a little break. but then me and my husband thought that the medicines are the same its just the dosage difference so lets stick with IVF only. lets hope this time it works out , it has become really tense for me, my husband and our family members. this time they will be doing day 3 transfer instead of day 5 as they did in the first cycle and day 6 as they in the frozen embryo cycle.
Also nicki i want to ask u and any of the members here who knows anything about this, that exactly after one week of ovulation injection ( and this has become a pattern in every cycle whether its IUI or IVF except for the frozen cycle in which there was no ovulation) i get fever with chills for one day. it makes me sooo weak and now it has become a pattern in each cycle so whenever i get fever i get this indication that im not pregnant in this cycle also, which is about a week before my date for blood test. its very confusing as my doctors have no clue as to why i get this fever. they say anything above 101 is considered fever, i get around 100 but it kills me. please answer me if you know why this happens. i'll keep posting here as often as i could as it gets difficult bcuz of my work.
keep me in ur prayers also.
thanks to all ...
Nicki,
Always easier said than done, but try not to worry. They kept telling me that pregnancy is different for everyone. Not everyone will have morning sickness.
Besides, its still early for you. When it comes, embrace it. I hear it can show up at anytime up to 14 wks....and you're having two...LOL!!!! You'll be fine.
Oth2007- Sorry, I have no ideas about the fevers. I've done one IVF (no other injectables), and I haven't had any fevers. I would ask the RE about this.
LJ- How are you holding up? Peace be with you and DH.
Oh LJ I am so sorry. I would be so frustrated to have such little good information. They sure didn't have a very exact way of telling you and are they still really sure? Let us know what the hcg shows. That really stinks - I feel just terrible. You are in my prayers. I hope your son is doing ok.
Nicki - glad all looked ok with the u/s. I'm sure it is too early to hear the heartbeats yet but you will soon. Relax and don't worry. Things will be fine and unfortunately its nothing you have control over. Can't wait to find out if they are boys or girls!
Audrey - so glad the adoption meeting went well. That is really cool about the older couple - that makes me feel better! Do they have a web site or any other information? Also thanks for the pics - you and your DH look like models! The kids are great too. I'm glad mother's day was good. I also think you should consider IVF again even if you pursue adoption.
Toni - glad your surgery can wait until after the delivery. That is a relief. Delivery will be here before you know it!
Nikki - glad you are doing well. Soon you will be ready to try again.
Sweedy - June is so close - don't worry. It will be here before you know it.
Oth2007 - I used donor eggs so I did not have to use any meds except for the estrogen and progesterone before transfer, so I can't help you - sorry.
Thanks for the wishes for my puppy. We found out he is in liver failure so are getting a bunch of tests done to see if we can find the cause. Poor thing, at 16 I hate putting him thru them but am not ready to lose him yet. Between that and working with the contractors on my parents' house in CA it has been insane. I went to the RE on Friday and my lining is too thick again, even tho I have been on the pill. So she wants to do a mock cycle for sure, with another biopsy. So that puts me into the July/August timeframe. By the time this happens I am going to be in a wheelchair! Take care and am praying for the best for everyone!
26 days. I'm jealous. I have more than that...for sure. We're not out until the end of JUne...then we start with a new group a week later in July.
LJ, I have been reading your posts and holding my breath waiting for some resolution for you. I know this must be so difficult for you and your DH. It's one 2ww after another harder 2ww after another. I am so sorry you are goign through this.
Nicki- I know the worrying never stops. I am so excited they saw 2 for you. I didn't have any morning sickness...a little queasy when my stomach got empty but not as early as you are, closer to 10 weeks. All you can do is focus on the positive until you know different. Easier said than done...
Deb- I am really hoping things work out for your doggie. SO tough. Sounds liek you are dealing with way too much. Maybe by July/ August things wills ettle down.
LJ,
I am so sorry that you and DH have yet another wait. Please let us know the results of your bt tomorrow. I am praying so hard for you...and you're right PUPO!! Hugs
Nicki,
Don't worry sweetie, I know many women who did not have any morning sickness and had completely normal pregnancies. You are just one of the lucky ones!
Nikki,
So good to hear from ya again! How are you doing? Have you and DH decided what your next move will be?
Deb,
So sad about your baby, but I think you are doing the right thing...I wouldn't be able to say goodbye either. And Deb, July/August will be here in no time!
Hi guys. Thanks for all your prayers. I am still hanging in there. I am trying to get a cancellation appt with my family doc, in the meantime I called the clinic and my doctor there called me back with three options 1-wait, 2-take meds to cause miscarriage or 3-D & C. I said obviously I am waiting. I demanded a HCG test as the baby is still growing and the size is too small to confirm or deny heartbeat. So I went on my lunch break for the BT and hopefully will have some results tomorrow. Still pregnant until proven otherwise.
LJ
So sorry for what is happening to you, Words will never be enough I have suffered so many losses before getting PG this time with the twins. I hope that things start looking better for you soon.
Quick update on me I went into the Doctors yesterday and I have not gained any weight in 2 weeks so thats good 15lb total I will be 24 weeks on Friday and I had a Ultrasound baby A weighs 1lb and 6 oz and baby B weighs 1lb and 7oz they are finally above the average they were smaller in the start. And they are both still Boys thinking about naming them Riley and Ramsey.
OH LJ, I'm so sorry you are going through all this. I hope you hear good news about the levels today. Did you see those posts I told you about? I went back and re-read and it made me feel more confident. You are PUPO and I'll keep praying that the "po - proven otherwise" part doesn't happen.
Oth- you are supposed to have a temperature spike when you ovulate but your saying it happens a week later. That's when you are in / leaving the luteal phase. I'm not sure why that is happening to you. It never happened to me so I can't really comment.
Deb- I'd be doing the same thing for my Furbaby. I know what you mean. I hope everything goes ok. Good thing your parents house and this is happening now and on in 2 months when you need you rest. Don't worry, the summer FLY'S by so July will be here so soon. Just think it's only like 2 more AF's!!!!
Audrey- new house. yeah aren't they great! Till you get the bills : ) And furniture shopping is fun but equally painful. I know they have certain financing plans with IVF. Don't know if you know that but it's something to consider. (DH and I were going to do that if try 3 didn't work). Some of them offer money back if you don't get PG. Unfortunately, I don't have a link because I only just search around the web but I'm sure you can find too.
Amy- thanks for your kind words. It's hard not to drive yourself crazy during this hole PG time!! Believe me, I'm not hoping for morning sickness or anything but I do feel better knowing you got it around week 10. I hope I'm one of the lucky ones who doesn't get it!
Toni- Those are cute names!! And I'm so glad to hear the boys are doing well and growing healthy and strong! That's great.
I had some cramping yesterday which made me a little nervous but nothing today. So it may have been something I ate. I'm just hoping and praying that everything keeps going well. On Friday, I'll be 7 weeks and on Monday, I'll get to hear the hb's. It's so hard to enjoy this time. I don't know what person said "enjoy it" b/c I feel like a nervous wreck all the time. Especially with hearing what you LJ and you Nikki have gone/ are going through. BUT- Possitive thoughts, possitive thoughts!!!! I apologize again for the painfully long post.
