Fiona--Thanks, hon. I am just keeping the u/s for next Thursday. I have no cramping today, and although still a little queasy and a very tired, am fine. My emotions seem to be more logical also. Good luck with injectables!!!! :-)

Mary--Thanks also for your reassurances. Your "medical" opinion counts a whole lot with me, plus your no-nonsense attitude. I really dpn't want to change the appt, as I will look like more of a nut job than I already am :-D
Anyway, thanks again--especially for not blowing sunshine up my butt. (Hee Hee)

Lisa--If you read this just know I am thinking about you. I'm sorry you have had such a stressful week. Are you doing anything relaxing this week end?

Lisa:  I am sorry to hear about yur ordeal at work.  This whole TTC thing is hard enough without external pressure from people who you never confided in in the first plaace.  Whenever I hear of people doing things like this, I think back and wonder if I was ever such an idiot.  I sure hope not.

Dee:  Happy spraying.  Do injectables follow shortly?

Fiona:  It's so great that you are starting tomorrow.  Waiting to start a cycle is torturous.

Heather:  Sorry about the cramping.  I just want to echo what everyone elsse already stated.  Although I am no expert, I have heard the same complaint form virtually every pregnant friend I've ever had.  While it is uncomfortable, it is very common.  My understanding is that cramping, when not accompanied by bleeding, is nothing to worry about.  Cramping with bleeding can also be fine, but it should be checked out.  I don't think you should change your appointment, but if you are really concerned, why don't you call your RE?

Feel better.  By the way, thank you so much for using one of my all time favorite expressions: "blow sunshine up my butt"

Heather, hang in there.  I'm sure everything is fine and what you're feeling is very normal.  I'm sure you could change the appt and it will ease your mind.  

Lisa, good luck with your u/s tomorrow.  Sorry to hear about your nosy work colleagues.  I don't understand people like that, why to they feel your business is theirs?  Tell them to go f*&k themselves (excuse the language).

Dee, good luck with spray tonight. When do you start injectables?  

I'm very excited to start injectables tomorrow, yipee!!!  Have u/s and b/w on Wednesday.  

Have a great weekend ladies.

Thanks so much for your reassurances. I respect your opinions and know you wouldn't just say what I want to hear and blow sunshine up my butt. (Bizarre image. . .) I am going to keep my original appt. for next week.

Anyway, I am doing so much better this morning. I guess the hormones really do come in waves and surges, because when I get the cramping, flushing, sickness, even more sore bbs, etc., I get very anxious and emotional also. Having your feedback has calmed my fears immensly. Thanks cyber-homies :-)

I think Helen and I were posting at the same time.  I just read her post and wanted to "piggy back" on what she said about morning sickness.  I have read that early morning sickness is a sign of a strong pregnancy.  That is just one more thing leaning in your favor.  I am confident this is a strong pregnancy and you and baby(s) are just fine based on all of your early symptoms.

Helen, Heather and Dee,  Thank you so much.  I feel that you are the ladies with the strength, resilience and optimisim that I greatly admire, so to have your support is just the greatest thing to me!!!  

I was very caught off guard and I do not like her knowing, or anyone else at work for that matter.  I really am not very close with her and don't know her very well which makes it even more difficult.  She's only been with our staff since January.  Anyhow, I do know I just need to roll with the punches, the cat's out of the bag and I can't change it so I might as well just get used to it.  I do work with mostly wonderful people and I know they won't be judgmental and I'm holding onto that as the bright side.

Dee, You most likely o'ed about a week ago.  It takes about 7 days for the prog. to rise after o.  But, in terms of that being a good number.  That is a GREAT number!!!

Speaking of numbers, do any of you know about E2 numbers?   The nurse told me the injectables were working based on my E2 which went up to 176 from 60.   Could that mean the quality of these eggs are better?

Well, I'm moving very slow this morning.  Feeling lethargic and tired but I better get my bu$$ in gear and get Sparky walked and head to work to finish grading.  No kiddos today!!! Yippee,   just grading, planning, organzing and filing.  I'm going out for a Margarita or a Lemon Drop after work today.  Can't wait!!!

My temps have remained high even through AF.  They haven't dropped below 98.5 in 4 weeks or more, until today.  I'm down to 97.4, so I'm a little concerened I'm ovulating.  I have a u/s tomorrow am, so I guess  it'll tell me something.  

Heather I'm sorry about the cramping.  I do know it's easy to worry with all the posts we read about m/c.  But, cramping is very normal in early pg and doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem.  Your uterus has a lot of stretching and adjusting to do to prepare for the growing fetus and this is what causes the cramping.  If you are having twins, then that would mean just more stretching and possibly more cramping as well.  You aren't having any bleeding and that is very good also.  I know it is easier said than done and even though I'm requesting it, I know you may not be able to do it, but as they say "Please do not worry".    I do hope you are able to change your appt. though just because I know the date bothered you.  If for no other reason than to NOT give yourself yet another thing to worry about, I think you should just change the day.  Even if it's onlya day earlier.  I'm sure everything is fine with you and I will be praying for you!!
