AGP Dance off continues
Season....6 I think. Here we go dancing with the follies!
Magda leads in season number 4 with a whopping 30 follies. Go Magda! Heather Jo won season number 5 of the Implantation Follies, Lexima came in a close second! Mary, Fiona, Jen, and Sam are gearing up, gathering speed and twirling with such grace and beauty it's anyones guess how this will turn out. Lisa won the Libido round, but is hoping to join the Implantation dance this time around. Helen, of course is twirling, though she's on the bench for short recovery period from a mild ovarian injury, heal Helen, heal! Jackson, is temporarily on the side lines as well. AF is currently holding her back. Da*m beeatch! But, she also has a mild injury delaying her entry into the follie dance we are all praying for a speedy recovery and hoping to see her twirliing again very soon. Dee, well what can we say about Dee. She's been our commentator, judge, secretary and comic relieve. She's worn so many hats, we are all just very impressed. This'll be her first entry into the follie dance with the coach Lupron, and (not sure) coach Follistim, or is it Gonal F? I know Gonal F's fees run a bit higher. Either way Dee's in good hands and we are all pulling for her.
OK dancers, set your shoes, breath deep, and.......DANCE! Let the Follies begin!

Saw RE this morning. I showed up at 8am demanding a u/s before having to go back to court and my demand was met with "of course blondie" and a big wink and smile...just gotta love that man! Good news...I have 8 more follies this month (i swear I am a follie factory on 75 Follistim) all at 14(cm?). I have another u/s on Friday afternoon and should be ready for IUI on Sat and Sun. Very exciting!
AND, i got excused from jury duty today! Turns out the judge is my in-laws neighbor and the plaintiff's attorney has worked against and with my husband (also an attorney) on a number of cases, so there were too many potential conflicts. Whew! That was a close one!
Magda - I have gained weight as well. I think 10lbs since i started trying. So annoying. I have tried consistent exercise and diet also but nothing seems to work. RE said I need to stop exercising so much during this process so i've done nothing for about 10 days now. Also, I read an article in Conceive Magazine about curvier/meatier women having smarter babies! If that is the case, my kid(s) is/are gonna be finding cures for cancer and solving all of the world peace problems! As for psychology, I'm not sure I would have done it again if I had to choose now. I probably would have just gone to medical school to become a neurosurgeon, which is what I wanted to be to begin with. Now i am a neuropsychologist, which is a nice blend of medicine and psychology. Let me know if you ever want to talk about it! BTW - are you originally American and live overseas? I'm so confused!!
Jackson - I use the ClearBlue digital with the happy face :) I went months without getting the smiley face but finally started getting them when i tested at different times of the day. I used to only test in the morning and never got the + but i tested once in the evening and it :). Now i only test in the evening and that seems to do the trick! Also, be careful with them if you are getting the HCG trigger before IUI. It can give you a false positive.
HeathJo - any word on Baby C yet? When do you see the perinatologist?
Keep twirling...

One thing you can do that is a bit cheaper than going through a lot of the digitals. You can buy the cheaper OPK's and use them daily. Then when you have a surge that looks pretty close, than use your digital to dbl check. I've done that before also.
Hey ~ I'm on cd 7 BUT ~ I got to boxes to start testing daily and will go back out if I run out to be SURE ~ since I cannpot afford to get another IUI ~ next step is donor eggs ~ :-( ~ need to be ABSOLUTELY SURE ~ we are doing EVERYTHING possible ~ and ~ guess it's a full moon tonight ~ DH being a real DH (original though of what it meant)~:-)))!!***
Jackson, it's accurate when on injectables. You're just not surging yet. You shouldn't start checking until about cd 10. What cd are you on?
Magda, I'm glad you're feeling better! You're right the clown doesn't deserve me. Nonetheless, it's feels sh it ee to be tossed like day old bread for a fresher loaf when you're the one who's been sustaining the consumer. I'll have clarity in a week or so. Spring break is coming which means an entire weak to wallow in my sorrow, then hopefully, I'll have processed all this and moved on.
Fiona, There is still a chance to get your bfp, so I'm hoping and praying this cycle works for you.
jbrooks, I've heard of the ov watch, but haven't tried it yet.
Dee, I sent a reply to your last post, but for some reason I"m not seeing it...hmmm...strange. Well, I just said thanks for the laugh and the smile. I conjured up this image of the ole bass-terd in a clown outfit and just busted out laughing. Can always count on you to make me smile. Thanks!

Babyalive ~ the men in our kives go through their time f the month during every full moon ~ haven't noticed before..??..~ you can plan/see it coming if you check your calendar ~ they can be pretty dodding at times, but it's just because they want your exclusive attention instead of giving you theirs ~ will await Daughter's arrival home then out to Target for the smiley's ~ to be sure NOT to miss O ~
Girls you should try the on-line South Beach Diet ~ it's worked wonders for us ~ DH lost 15lbs and I lost 6.5 lbs in 4wks ~ put on 20 over past 8months due to all the death through my family and being on depressants, etc and pain killers from my accident two years ago ~ amazing what the meds do to you when the Dr's try to "help" ~ best to read all side effects, but too late after the fact ~ anyway ~ helped reduce DH's BP, and helped with the BD alot ~ :-)~~
Have been holding off going to gym to work off frustration for a while ~ might go tomorrow after BW/US ~ hoping all comes back with HUGE FOLLIES!~
Hoping all is well with all ~ keep twirling for all of us ~ hopefully it will work wonders world-wide!!
